which he states that all employees we're

GOOD THINGS GO BEGGING.
Some of the Great Inventions of the Age Have Found But Few
 Hackers.

Washington is known as the abiding place of men who have gone daft on inventions and patents, and yet it is astonishing to know by what narrow margins some people escape making fortunes, says the Washington Post. Prof. Alexander Graham Bell tried again and again. to persuade Senator Don Cameron to buy for S1o,ooo one- third interest in his telephone inven- tion. Cameron thought Bell a wild dreamer, refused to put up dollar, and even went so far IS to give orders that the inventor should no longer be admitted to his office. That one-third interest is to-day worth not less than s2O,000,0 900. There were many long and weary days that Prof. Bell scarce ly knew where he was going to get the money to carry through his inven- tions, and he haunted the hotel and capitol Hobbies constantly, endeavor- ing to get some one interested in what he felt and knew would make fortunes.
 There is scarcely day that some in ventor is not haunting senators and congressman with appeals to help them get through some fortnne-just- insight patent, and the struggles that Profs. Bell and Morse went through in getting their inventions before the public demonstrates the fact that a good thing is about as difficult to shove along as some worthless clap trap.

est success. "Garrett O'Magh." The play is an Irish comedy of 1912, from the pen of Augustus Pitou, and is specially fitted to the star. For Garrett O'Magh'' Mir Olcott has composed several ballads and seren- ades and a rollicking song for chil- dren. In the bouquet of songs are My Sweet Queen "Paddy's Cat Ireland A! Ora Machree" and 'The Lass 1 Love' The play is described as a comedy and is said to be without the customary complications and sen sational episodes found in the gen eral run of Irish plays. Its theme is love-love in which, romance, sen timent and humor are found. MT Olcott will be supported by the same company which assisted him during his five months run in New York, and the production as to scenery, cos tunes and furniture is identical with that used in New York.

NEW WAY TO KILL ILLUSTRATES.
Maine Man Discards OId-Faahionea Traps for Beer Bottles Filled
 with Fresh Lime.

Tn March and April, just before the muskrats shed their winter coats, the boys and men who wish to earn money and have short outing, camp along the muddy ponds and sluggish streams of Maine and spend a few weeks trapping these animals, the pelts of which are worth from 20 to 25 cents each when taken from their bodies, but when tanned and dyed for furs are sold as high as one dollar, says a Dedham report.
 The usual way. to get the rats is to bait small steel trap with bit of raw parsnip and set it on log or stone in deep water. The trap should be weighted with stone, so when the animal is caught it will leap into deep water and drown, for if caught above water the rats will readily amputate their legs by biting them off above the traps, leaving a worthless foot for the hunter.
 This spring James Sukeforth intro duced.a novelty in the way of catching the rats, which has yielded large prof. it's and which promises to revolution ize the business. While the water is coated with ice the muskrats make their homes in rough houses of mud and sticks, built the previous autumn, and so constructed that the roofs are above the ice while the walls run down to the mud at the bottom. The mud walls keep the ice from forming on the inside and leave hole through which the animals can go and come at all seasons.
 Sukeforth, who had kept barroom in Bangor few years before, was the owner of 400 or 500 ancient beer bot ties with rubber caps and patent wired fastenings. When the new styled bottles came in, he could not sell his stock and took the lot to his farm in Dedham. In his intercourse with wild animals he had noticed that muskrats were much annoyed by the presence of lime, quitting their dens as soon as any of the powder was left nearby. Two weeks ago he brought home a cask of fresh lime, and having broken the Jumps, filled them into the beer bottles, put in as much water as the spaces would hold, and closing the caps sunk them inside the muskrat houses. Then he laid out box of loaded shells and stood at attention, with his shotgun at hand.
 The wetted quicklime soon began to swell and bubble within the bottles, and when the pressure grew too much for the glass to stand the bottles ex- ploded with noise that jared the ice and set the pond in quiver. The muskrats, startled by the noise, sought their homes for safety, but meeting the lime in the water made haste to reach open air. As they emerged on top of the ice Sukeforth shot them as fast as they came. By using eight bottles of lime in four homes he was able to capture 154 muskrats in one forenoon.
 It is declared that the new way of killing muskrats will enable one man with gun to gather more pelts in a day than six men and 1000 traps could by the old way. The lime, which the rats take into their lungs in trying to get breath. swells the bodies so they can be skinned more rapidly than if they were lank from long imprison- ment in traps.

Theology as He Understood It.

Passengers in an uptown car one afternoon last week were very much entertained and amused by discus sion of things spiritual by two col ored passengers. As the debate waxed warmer, the voices of the de- baters grew louder until what was said was plainly audible to all in the car. After each had made confes- sion of faith and given his views of the means whereby mortal man could gain salvation, one of the pair blurt- ed out, in tone that implied that all his hope for the next world was embodied in the words: l.
