ther on there was another hole, where he had come out again and it was evident from the trampled, blood-stained snow and the fish-scales lying about that he had captured a fish and that he had eaten it on this spot. And where the snow had been wet the mink had left clear individ- ual impressions of his feet.
 One unaccustomed to the winter woods can hardly realize the number of wood land tragedies to be found recorded in the snow. The wolves, foxes wildcats, mink, weasels and other carnivorous anil mals are literally "out for blood" and the very fact that there tracks are found at all Is good evidence that fair meas ure of success attends their expeditions. That they arc alive means that there have been many deaths, and most of these deaths were tragic. I was once following the trail of a rabbit, when I found it abruptly joined by that of a weasel. From this point the two trails had the same direction and often they were interlaced. They led me through a wood, over rocks, and between tree trunks, to pile of brush left by tho lumbermen. Here the rabbits tracks ended in mass of gray fur which moved in the wind. and be- yond the brush-pile for a leap or two the tracks of the weasel were bloody.

From the New York World.

From the New Iork WOrlu.
 ~ ONE years ago when George Ade
 was first beginning to make money
 through his Fables in Slang his father got him in a corner and advised him strongly as follows
 ''George. there is no telling when the public is going to get tired of your fool 1shness Better send me all the money you can spare and let me buy some farm land for you. Newton county can't be beat for corn and oats.''
 Ade listened and assented. His father was right on the commercial proposition. being a banker, but proved to be wrong on the public. The "foolishness" con tinued in favor and was converted into operas and plays.
 Eventually the author was so well-to- do that he began to think of permanent summer home This time he consulted his elder brother, farmer and former sheriff of Newton county. William Ade was commissioned to buy a big tract with a picturesque location Tor a house ad- joining it. He found the place in Brook, Ind. in the same county with Kentland, Aides birthplace. A fine grove of trees offered park front for a country resi- dence, and stretching back of the build ingssite were some 800 acres of the best land in the state. famous for its fertility since the draining of the great Kankakee marsh to the west of it.
 Ade was delighted with the selection closed the deal for the purchase in hur-

Stories of Snow Trails.

E. H. Baynes, in Harper's Magazine.
 The next time I went out to study the language of the trails the snow lay three and a half inches deep While crossing frozen pond I ran upon the trail of mnk-A trail which I always follow if have time as there is sure to be "a story in it." as a newspaper man would say
 The trail in this particular depth and qaulity of snow consisted of series of oblong holes. made by the four feet of the mink at the end of each leap. Having crossed the pond, the little animal had followed the line of the shore. stopping here and there to nose under rocks and roots, until he reached a point where a stream flowed into the pond. Then he had followed the bank of the stream and pres ently had reached hole in the ice, where his footprints disappeared, showing that he had entered tho water. A little fur

QUICK SHAVE ON A RAILROAD.
James A. Richardson Tells of Novel
 Substitute for Razor.

From the Baltimore American.
 James A. Richardson, who has re- gently returned from trip through the saw the quickest shave that ever came under his notice. He was travelling from Indianapolis to Terre Haute, and the track being blocked by a freight train he had long wait one evening at Green ville To relieve the tedium of the delay he got out of the train and was walking up and down the platform, engaged in conversation with some gentlemen. who had been his travelling companions. when the attention of the group was attracted to the peculiar actions of two track hands farther down the platform.
 Both of the men were in overalls and rough blue blouses." Mir Richardson said, in telling of the occurrence, "and they belonged to the ranks of the men who crawl under the cars as soon as train stops, tap the wheels and see if every thing Is all right. After they had examin- ed the machinery under our train they stopped at the end of the platform, and one of the men turned down the collar of his blouse, held his head up quite stify. and stood stock still, facing the other fellow The other fellow, by the way, carried a lighted torch you know the sort tIle TdlirOdu illcl uSc- anu hc passed the lighted torch quickly up and down his chums face. wondered if the chum were voluntarily offering himself for cremation, for he stood there making no attempt to restrain his friend. When the operation had been continued for a few seconds, long enough to have been exceedingly painful to a sensitive skin, the fellow holding the torch withdrew it, and the chum walked very quietly to a pump, washed his face. wiped 1t with a big bandanna handkerchief, rejoined his companion, and the two men walked of together. disappearing down the track.
 "The whole thing was over much more quickly than I can tell 1t. and we all stod speeches. until the two men were out of sight. Then, with one accord. we turned to one of the railroad officials. who had joined us and asked him what 1t all meant And what do you think he said? He told us 1t was merely a quick shave. and said that the railroad men were in the habit of doing the barbering for each other In that way. He said that the men didn't have time to go through the ordinary form of shaving so they singed the surplus hair off each other s faces in the waywe had witnessed. and 1t was very much like the way the skin of a chicken or turkey is singed when 1t is prepared for the oven. He laughed when we asked if it did not hurt. and he said that the men are so accustomed to working over the flames that their faces were hardened and they didn't mind 1t fin the least. But of all quick slaves and queer ones, too. that was the quick est and the queerest I ever saw"

at length in the great eastern dailies, but never word in the Brook Reporter until he began building new barn. Then the Reporter had this to say:
 We notice that George Ade Is buying the lumber for his new barn in Chicago. There is lumber yard In Brook. A word to the wise is sufficient"
 Ade expects to overcome all this. Born in the country and used to it's ways he delights to swap talk about crops with any of them and he can do 1t knowingly. Hazelden claims his time several months a year. While there he goes to bed early, gets up early and does his most effective work. He finds that on that beautiful country place of his the best ideas come to him for his "fooishness."
