A UNIQUE FOX TRAP.
Maine Genius Gets PhOnOgraph Rec

According to the Bucksport (Me.)
correspondent of the New York
World, Elmer Shllings, champion fox
trapper of that section, who became
3 wonder in that line so suddenly
that there has always been great
wonder at his success, has finally told
the secret by which he lured the sly
foxes into his traps.
Mr.. SkiIlings, who is a farmer in a
sparsely settled district, purchased a
phonograph and some records for his
own amusement and to entertain his
Ienow-1armers at the Grange meet.
ings. He has an ingenious mind,
which suggested an attempt to get
on record the noises of the poultry
yard, that of the pullet who had just
laid an egg, the growing of a cock,
the quacking of ducks and the dis
cordant note OF the guinea fowl. He
bought some blank records and Sc
cured all the novel results he wanted.
Then another idea came to him.
He exchanged his instrument for a
much finer and larger one, and after
a number of trials obtained a fine
record of the clucking of mother
hen and the peeping of her brood Of
chickens.
Then he went into the woods, dug
a large hole, partially filing it with
brush and arranged the phonograph
in the hole, so that by means of a
long spring and a self-returning
mechanism of his own invention the
record would run continuously for
nearly half an hour. A powerful res
Cnator made the sounds nearly as dis
tinct as the original. The apparatus
was completed with an alarm clock
arrangement, so that the instrument
could be set in operation automat-
ically at any hour desired. The effect
was startling, when suddenly there
would be heard, apparently from a
heap of brushwood, the excited cluck-
ing of mother hen and the answer
ing peeps of her brood of chickens.
Mr.. Shllings surrounded the place
with fox traps and set the machine to
begin operations several hours after
sunset. 1t worked to perfection. The
first time it was tried two foxes were
trapped. From all appearances they
were rushing in upon the supposed
defenseless brood, forgetting their
usual cunning. The scheme worked
again and again until nearly all the
foxes in the vicinity had fallen vic

A PARROT AND DOG TIME.
hris Judge with the Wisdom of a
Solomon Gets "a Difficult Case
OF His Hands.

There were two cases in the correc-
tiOnaI chamber at Paris of a decidedly
opera bOuffe character. The plaintiffs
in each case were women. Plaintiff
No. l, being asked to state her case,
said it all came about owing to par
rot. The bird had a vicious disposition
and its mistress (the defendant) egged
it on to be even worse than it was
Oy nature. The plaintiff could not put
ner head out of the window without
the bird shouting opprobrious cpl
.hets at her and generally HbeIing her
character.
Before deciding this case the judge
said he would hear the other, whscs-
upon the second matron stated that
what she had to complain of was her
neighbor's dog. 1t had been taught
to bark at her whenever she went out,
and so maiciously clever was the ami
NAL that at the instigatiOn of its mis-
tress it actually threw stones at her
window panes by tossing them upwith
it's paws.
By this time the people in court
were conVulsed with laughter, but the
Judge remained serious. In comment
Ing upon the two cases he pointed out
that neither action had been correctly
described as a suit for libel. Then he
rendered his decision, which was
worthy of a Solomon. One of the
plaintiffs, he said, should have prose-
euted the dog, the other should have
cited the parrot. Both actions having
been wrongly instituted, he should,
therefore, dismiss them both.

Eight Little Louisville Chickens
Thrive Under the Protection of
a Plain Feather Duster.

According to the Louisville Courier.
journal eight fluffy little chickens be-
longing to a family living on Twelfth
street, near Broadway, in that city,
have a queer mother. For the past
two weeks the only protection they
have had has been a big feather duster.
The substitute for the mother has
served its purpose so well that the
family expects to raise chickens in
the same way every year.
The chickens were Matched about
three weeks ago. their mother being
an old hen which the family had
bought in market and had intended to
fatten and eat, Before she arrived at
the proper condition to be baked she
took a notion to set. AS is usual in
such eases persuasion was vain, and
she held to her determination to raise
a family. A dozen eggs were given
her and she Matched out eight chicks
Of these she was very proud. About
TWO weeks ago a number of friends
from out of town visited the family
Unexpectedly. The problem of what
TO have for dinner was a serious one,
as it was Sunday and no groceries
Tere open. 1t was suggested that the
hen be killed, but the children were
not willing that the chickens should
be left to shift for themselves at so
tender an age.
The problem was solved by the boy
who suggested that the hen be killed
and the big feather duster be substi-
,uted for the hen. The duster was sus-
pended just above the floor in the cor
ner of the kitchen, and the chickens
placed under it in a box.
There they have remained ever since
and are growing rapidly. They seem
10 take kindly to the innovation, and
at the first sign of danger they all re-
treatto the duster, nesting among the
feathers.

pnlled off last Saturday at the new

event had been so thoroughly dis

that large crowd of people were

Notwithstanding these drawbacks fair

were best three in FIVE, one mile.
