Little Monkey lost his tail. and the
other monkeys made SO much fun OF
him that he could no live with them
any more. He went away by himself
and fed on berries. He was sitting
on the bank Of the river n y,when
the earth gave way, and he fell into
the water. He swami again, and as
he did he had an idea.
"I1l start a swimming school" said
he. I'll teach all the other animals
to swim SO that their lives will be
saved if they fall into the water.
SO Little Monkey built houses on the
shore of the river and put up a sign
which read:

Bathing Suits to Hire.

He had 100 bathing suits in sizes to
fit any animal from a mouse to an cle-
phant. He hired the tailor bird to
make new suits as fast as the old n e
wore out. Ben Crocodile was always
swimming around to save the lives of
the animals who swan out too far.

lives on a ranch seven miles east of the
CITY, aud he intends to devote the winter
months is Catching skunks. He began
little more than two weeks ago, and lie
has now over one hundred skunk hides.
He caught sixty skunks in eleven day,
and twenty OF these We're captured in one
day. He caught seven coons also.
He is following along the south side
of tile river, and will pursue the saud hills
mp into Colorado. The favorire abode for
skunks is in the sandy soil, ard for this
reason Maj. Ferguson finds more of the
mephitis tribe on the sand hills HIS
mode of capturing the skunks 1s very
simple one. He tracks the skunk holes
and covers them with sand. and digs over
the burIow until he locates the yaimint
with "A spade. Two dogs complete the
rest of the capture. One of these dogs is
an Irish setter and the other is a fyce
The fyce will catch and capture a skunk
quicker than a bigger dog.
Major Ferguson skins the animal and
takes away the fat, and the rest he
| throws to the dogs The oil is used for
medicinal purposes and the hides are made
| into the best s.Sable furs.' Last winter
Maj. Ferguson sold 800 worth of skunk
hides and oil to Schoennsn q Co, of
| Chicago, and he has order to supply
this firm with all he can catch. The
| hides bring 80 cents apiece and the oil
$500 u gallon. Twelve years ago Maj
| Ferguson sold in skunk and other hides
| about $500 worth; and he believes this
winters catch will exceed that amount.
This is opening up winters sport and
| occupation that is not to be t-sneezed at. -
On this prese mt hunt he Will catch beaver.
cooIs, coy otes and other animals The
| beavers gall has a market value, and he
will also utilize the coon fat. Maj Fergu-
son says if he could find a market for the
| ..musk'' of the SIX urk he would make u
| fortune in short time. A little coal oil
is used in overcoming the obnoxious odor

of skuIiks, coyotes. GOODS. beaver and
other varmiuts, he will we'll nigh exhaust
the country of the pernicious tribe,
which give the farmers so much concern,
in protection of hen roosts, COW yards and
sheep corrals.
A bounty is offered for coy otes, and the
trapping of these animals is a profitable
pastime for young and old people. but a
systematic hunt like Maj. Ferguson is
engaged in VIII DO much towards ridding
the country of these pests.
There is number of species Of skunk.
but the most hume ous kind found here is
the common American skunk, about the
size of a cat, generally black or blackish
brown. with white streaks along the back
1t inhabits burrows, which it makes in
the earth. feeds on mice, frogs, etc and
insects and fruits, and sometimes enters
houses to plunder storerooms- 1t is not
averse to spring chicken. There is
small skunk, not numerous, known as the
hydrophobia skunk. 1t has only one
white streek along back, and its fur is
valuable, being worth 81. Deaths have
been known from the bite of this skunk.
The bite from the hydropbobia skunk is
fatal.
Skunks depend very much for defense
on an excessively feted fued, which is
secreted by glands near the anus. On
this account the skunk is very much left
severely alone. bur there are people, like
| Major Ferguson, who overcome the fear
of the mephitic and pursue him in his
burrow.
| After catching a skunk Ma jor Ferguson
throws it into a pool of water, where it
remains "a hours, when the stink leaves
it.

; A CURE FOR SNAKE BITES.


A mountaineer named Vincent, who
lives on Lookout Mountain, near Dur
ham, Tenn. appeared in that village TO
find it excited over a mad dog. He
drove all the villagers indoors and IN
armed awaited the coming OF the DOG,
which, after q desperate struggle, be
strangled. He was bitten three times,
applying to the wounds q poisonous
weed known to the mountainous as
"gall OF the earth" He was Dealed
and 70 further demonstrate the curative
nroperties of the weed he permitted q
copperhead and rattlesnake to bite
him and was successfully healed. VIM
cent went to picnic at Lulu lake on
Lookout mountain with three rattle
snakes. In the presence of the crowd
he worried the snakes making them bite
him until they would do so no more.
Ie finally put his tongue in the snakes
mouth. He begged those present TO
let the snake bite them, guaranteeing a
cure. A young man present let him.
self be struck twice by the reptile and
then applied the weed to the bite and
ate a portion OF it, no bad effects result
ing. The ignorant mountaineers are
excited over Vincent's acts. On Satur-
day he cured a young man who was Al
tackled by copperhead although 1t was
two hours before he reached him. A
pointer dog belonging to a prominent
citizen of Chattanooga, while hunting
was bitten by copperhesd. An sppi-
cation Of the weed and small portion
mixed in milk cured the dog.
