Dragged with whisky.

A few days ago Otis Harper. of
Menomlnee, Wis, told a story of two
trappers. One Of the finest bass fish
ing grounds in Wisconsin is found in
Post lake. This fact is one of the
reasons that induced an old Dbvsi-
elan to pull down his shingle in 4
Michigan town, give up his deacon
snip and settle on the western banks
OF the lake. But ardent fisherman
Hough he may be, the old doctor
hnds StlI greater delight in trapping
bears, of which there are plenty in
that locality. No one viii deny that
his method is original.
Despite the fact that he is a tee
totaler from choice and conviction.
every now and then the doctor comes
TO the railroad station near bv and
pays freight on a few kegs of whisky
and molasses. OF what quality. de-
ponent sayeth not. For many miles
around he knows every year runway
and during the season he makes reg

That night Bruin will suddenly come
across a gallon jar half full of mo-
lasses, an ilI-boding prescription
from the doctor. OF course he is too
cautious an animal to tackle the for
eign substance in the jar at once. He
snuffs at it for awhile, but finally he
tastes and pretty soon the contents
of the jar have found a safe lodging
place within the inneTmoSt recesses
of his huge carcass. With a deep
grunt and a loud smack of satisfac-
ton, Bruin trots cheerfully off, but
soon he longs for a safe place in
which to lie down and take nap. The
fact of the matter is that he has
little Jag" But he doesn't know #.
The next night TO his surprise he
again finds q keg with molasses in
Il. This time he does not seem to hes
itate so long, but drinks down the
