ONLY ONE WAY TO TRAP oooNs
This Way Was Discovered by an Observnnt
Pochuck Mountain Hunter.

CHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 13.-"If any one ever
told you he trapped a coon in the woods he told
you what never happened" said a Pochuck
coon hunter. "Coons can't be trapped except In
one way, and I never found a coon hunter vet
who knew how 1t was done. You may track a
coon t. his home in some crevice Of a rock,
which is q favorite retreat for him If he can find
one; place your trap in front of the hole and
disguise 1t as much as you may-cover it a foot
deep with leaves If you like-but that coon
will never leave that hole as long as that trap
Is there. He will starve first. The coon has the
keenest scent of any animal. He can SIM II the
iron of that trap. and he seems to know the
danger 1t threatens him with. He knows it will
be death to leave the hole. and he prefers death
iron traps and snares and all sorts of devices,
but never could succeed In fooling one of these
little beasts into getting caught by any o: them.
but you may II you know where to look for
crawfsh abo md, you may see some epicurean
GOO fishing for them almost any day, along in
creek and Keep very auiet. The coon IL is pa Tl cue
larry fond OF rawhsh. The way he Gshes Tor
them is to wade in the creek. generally going
stones on the bottom. The coon feels with his
forepaws under each stone be comes to. thrusting
from the other side. 1t is a comical light to
zee q coon fishing for ~crawfsh: He keeps his
and to and fro. his eyes evidently gazing at
nothing; every sense seeming to be concentrated
on tne business beneath the water. You can
teH instantly when he has fastened on to a craw-
nsn. Ior the Expression on his face changes Mt
once from the dull, vacant stare to one of bright
ness and, animation. He draws the crawl Ii
1nt OF the water, and, standing erect ON his
hind feet, rolls 1t smartly between his paws.
inns brushes the shell and claws Of the crawfish
anu makes the sweet meat accessible. The coon
eats MS capture with great relish and then BIO,
gins the search for another one.
While watching a coon fishing In this way
one day I got the idea OF trapping coons. I
thought that by placing a steel trap on the bot
tom OF the creek where coons found the craw-
nshing, good they might be deceived, and, more
IMAM likely, caught. ! made the experiment. I
sank Two traps at different places on n favori,c
crawnshinR route for coons, and the same after
noon found u coon In each trap. Ihave trapped
hundreds OF them since then, and that is the only
way you can trap a coon.'

WALLAGRAss, Me-. Nov. l3.-Pierre Soucci,
tho only man In Maine who ever attempted
skunk farming on a large scale, offers his place,
stock. and fixtures for sale at a bargain, and
says he is going to the gold fields of Alaska,
where he hopes to mako money moro rapidly
than by skinning skunks and trying out their
oil. Though Soucci had plenty Of minnows and
whitefsh 10 feed to his pets, and could catch all
the rabbits he wanted with two spools Of copper
wire, he has abandoned the business and con-
fessed that skunk culture doesn't pay. Last
year he took of 200 pelts Of his own growing

SAT DOWN ON A FIRE PLUG.
Then He Aroae and Wnvered In the Air Like =
DAncinE Hall In u Shooting Gallery.

~ s"O h''f'FN
A man evidently tired from waiting or from
an overdose of work walked up to a water plug
at the corner OF Alabama and Pryor streets this
morning and sat down. Tho man sat down
slowly, as though his limbs were tired OF him
and no OF them. His legs acted as II they had
been working overtime and did not like the Job.
As the man took the seat on the plug no gave
by a yell.
THIS yell was OF distress, and 1t echoed and re-
echoed up and down the street; The man shot
into the air and distanccd tho echo in his ascent.
The huge pressure OF water against the plug
had caused it 10 break so suddenly that IA stream
as largo as q barrel came ont with the speed OF q
cannon ball. The top OF the plus was knocked
out and the man sat astrido OF 1t as he made his
rapid trip into space. 0fcourse, he had to come
down, and when no did he fell into a stream
OF water such as he had never seen before.
There was water every where that man tried
to fall. and the more frantic his efforts to get
out the more he got in. For an instant 1t looked
as II he would be drowned, but with q mighty
squirt he cleared the big spout OF water and
gained HIS freedom. Once out. he did not
turn TO look about him, but made arnn down
South Pryor street that broke all records.
The drencbed man disappeared, but the water
did not. and 1t continued to now for fifteen
minutes In immense quantities.
