The Company's Reason.

An amusing extract from a Belgian
paper gives the following incident:
A woman whose husband had lost
his life in a railway accident received
from the company 10000 francs by
way Of compensation. Shortly after
she heard that a traveller who had lost
a leg had been paid 10000 francs.
The widow at onc put ON her bonnet
and shawl and went to the office of the
company.
Gentlemen, how is this?" she asked.
you give 10000 francs for a leg, and
you allowed me only 10000 francs for
the loss Of my husband!"
Madam" vas the reply, "the reason
is plain. Twenty thousand francs
won't provide him with a leg, but for
ten thousand you cali get a husband"

TREASURES NEW HEAD.
lection of u Successor of
Secretary Gage.

President Roosevelt has selected
one of the forceful men of the coun
try to succeed Secretary Gage, who
has determined to retire from the
treasury department. Gov. Leslie M.
Shaw, of Iowa, who will accept the
treasury portfolio after the eNpira-
ton of his present term of Office
next month, is strong man in every
respect. He has the hardy physique
and well-balanced mentality that are
part of his heritage as son of Yer
mont, where he was born 81 years
ago, combined with the qualities
which have developed during most of
lifetime spent in the west. He has
the rugged virtues, the spotless in
tegrity, the correctness of principle
and the ready common sense which
put him fairly among the class of
men known as the Lincoln type, says
the Troy Times.
An incident which illustrates the
character of the new secretary of the
treasury is worthy of mention. Six
years ago William j. Bryan delivered
a speech at Denison, Ia, Mr.. Shaw's
home. The speech was fervid ar
gument for free silver and the other
financial and economic heresies which
Mr.. Bryan advocated. Mr.. Shaw
heard the address, and although he
had never until then spoken in pub
lie, he resolved to reply to the demo-
cratic leader. He did so, and the
plain and pungent truths which he
told effectively offset the utterances
of Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Shaw at once
leaped to national prominence. The
people saw he was man to be trust
ed. He has twice been elected gov
ernor of the state, and has become
known as one who not only holds the
soundest views on great public ques-
tons, but has the capacity for pre-
senting them in a manner to con-
vince the doubling and expose the
fallacies of those who oppose him.
Gov. Shaw is no untried financier.
He has long been the president of a
terests in the conduct of which he
has shown marked ability and that
faithfulness to right principles that
he will carry into the administration
of the affairs of the office which he is
soon to fill. When he becomes the
head of the treasury department
President Roosevelt will have two
Iowa men in his cabinet, Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson also being
from that state. The great west is
getting very substantial recognition
in the government, and its repre-
/ sentatives at Washington are taking
rank as men of the highest ability
and acknowledged worth.

in the projecting sides or between
Stats nailed to the end, as shown in
the cut.
The bottom piece may also be al
lowed to project so as to make the
door more secure when closed. A
small hole is bored through the top
at about the middle of the box, and
midway between this and the door a
stick is secured in an upright position.
Across the top of this latter a sec
ond stick is secured by nail in a notch
made in the upright one SO that it
will seesaw up and down. A third
stick of small size is notched near one
end and secured at the opposite end by
means of piece of twin to the end
OF the larger movab BILE piece. This NOV
able piece is now connected by Irvine
at its forward end to the top of the
door, when the trap is ready to set.
The door is elevated, the little stick
passed through the hole in the top
and secured by the notch to the front
edge of the hole. When the rabbit
enters, it pushes the projecting end
of the stick before it, setting it free,
allowing the suspended door to de-
scend and thus cutting off its own es-
cape. The traps may be baited with
a piece of apple or cabbage placed in
the end farthest from the door.-Cin-

RAVAGES OF RABBITS.
In Some Sections of the Country the
Loss Caused by the Little Root
ers Is Quite Serious

In many of the less closely settled
regions of our country, when SHOWS
are deep and food scarce, rabbits de-
velop into serious pest by gnawing
the bark of fruit trees. Some items
about this trouble from a recent bulle-
ting by II. Garman, of the Kentucky
station, may, therefore, not come
amiss.
When the nursery is small it is pos
Eible to inclose it with close slat
fence that will "turn'' rabbits and
serve all tke purposes OF the ordinary
fences required to keep out stock. In
timbered countries, where rabbits are
most troublesome, fences of this char
acter may be cheaply built. Two types
of fence suitable for the purpose are
to be seen in the state. The most com
mon is made of rough stats, four to six
feet long and about three inches in
width. The Stats are securely fastened
together from one to two inches apart
with No. II wire, stout posts being set
at intervals of 10 to 16 feet to insure
