EASY WAY TO KILL FOXES
Maine Trapper Has an Ingenious
Method Of Attracting and
Shooting Them.

A Maine trapper, who gets sect
or $500 every fall for fur, tells the
Maine Woods that he can shoot
foxes without taking aim. lie
sights the gun by daylight and
simply pulls the trigger when the
foxes come at night. lie secures
he carcass of a horse or creature
of any kind, or if that is impossible
he buys a calf and kills it.
The body is buried in a fayora-
Bile location; then be builds d little
house just big enough for two
This house can be carried by two
men and it IL located at a point
that is about right for gun shot.
There Is port hole for a gun AMI
il small peek hole. also a bracket
that holds the sun glass. When
the foxes come, which II usually
after the snow is on the ground,
they dig two or three holes down
to the bait. When the hunter sees
a fox he simply pulls the trigger
and the pelt Is his. There are FIRE.

MICE iNcESSANT WALTERS
The Tiny Creatures Keep on the Move
Almost Constantly During
Waking Hours.

Waiting mice are curious AMI
interesting little animals, says Il
writer in Country Life in Amer
lea. They are not quite so long
an the common gray mouse, and
much more slender. They are
spotted black and white at each
end OF their bodies, and are clear
white in the middle. They whirl
around on their four feet as if on
"A pivot; sometimes stopping and
reversing the direction. Frequent
~ | see two or three of them going
around together in large circle
Although they waltz sometimes
y long as five minutes without
est. they appear never to get
dizzy. They can, if they choose,
run in a straight line, but they
seldom do. Instead of running
away when disturbed or fright
encd, they begin TO waltz. They
come out Of their nests about sun
down, and waltz until nearly mid
night. Then they go back to their
nests to sleep.
One of the curious things about
them is their lighting. They waltz
until they run into each other,
when they bite, squeal, jump into
the air-and then start Waiting
again. They Keep this up until
they are seriously injured. some-
times having their tails and legs
bitten of and their skins torn.
There are several theories as
to the reason they can whirl
around in this way and yet not
get dizzy. One is that it is because
OF disease of the brain that they
inherit.
