CATCHING RED FOXES.
Ingenious Method Pursued by an Old
Maine Trapper.

There is no animal in the Maine
woods possessed with more cunning
than the red fox. The slyness of
these animals has passed into a
proverb, cas- sly as fox" being a
term often heard.
There are many different ways to
catch reynard, bat there is one old
trapper in the forests of Maine who
perhaps stands at the head of the
list in catching foxes lie has a
manner of catching these animals
which he calls his Secret" a plan
which he learned when boy in Yer
mont and has successfully used for
the last twenty years.
Fox skins or pelts bring a good
price, and from the beginning Of
cool weather in October throughout
the winter the hides are in fine con-
dition. Steel traps, bait and many
different things are used by different
trappers in catching foxes, but this
old trapper's secret" stands at the
top.
His manner of procedure when
after the little red dogs is some
what as follows: In part of the
woods which is known to be inhabit-
ed by foxes-and they can be found
in nearly all sections of Maine-this
trapper, with a steel trap, some cat
meat, if it can be procured, and
some skunk musk, proceeds to set
his snares. Cat meat makes the
best bait, but other meat-a piece
of beef-will do.
Going up brook, wading with
rubber boots, so that no scent will
be left, he makes a small drain or
canal from the brook into which
the water will flow. This little
canal is always dug out with a stick,
so that the hands do not come into
contact with the earth, and no smell
of a human being is left. a small
stock is then set upright in the mid
die of the stream or little canal
the point being an inch or so under
the water, and the bait is put on
that, so that it looks as if resting
on the water. As this necessarily
has to be handled, ii small amount
of skunk musk is put on it so that
no scent is left
The steel trap is then sunk un-
der water where the canal, or If II
is the brook proper, is but few
inches deep. On the plate of the
trap, where an animal has to step
10 be caught, is put IA small sod
which lies half in and half out OF
the water, as if it were small is
land. This is but a few inches from
the bait on the stick.
The result is plainly seen. Nc
animal will wet its feet if there is
dry land to step on, and Sir Rey-
nard, coming after the meat resting
SO temptingly on the water, steps
on the little island or mound to get
it and is lost.
A trap of this kind is never fas-
tened down, as an animal will teal
itself loose oftentimes if securely
held. a fair sized stick is attached
by a rope or chain to the trap, and
the fox cannot drag it far, as II
catches on all of the trees, bushes
or whatever is in the way.-Bangol

A Matter of Teeth.

him to be the seat of torment. There

The Lucky Boy,

The Lucky Boy.
The boy who's always wishing
That this or that might be,
But never tries his mettle.
Is the boy that's bound to see
His plans all come to failure,
His hopes end in defeat,
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet.
The luck that / believe In
Is that which comes with work.
And no one ever finds IL
Who's content to wish and shirk.
The men the world calls lucky"

That success comes not by wishing.
But by hard work. bravely done.
