LIGHTING FOR THE coLoRs
~ Gard Game of Capturing Flag.
Il to Rival Progressive Whist.

ew Card Game Of Capturing Flags
to Rival Progressive whist.
Apropos Of the proposed alterations
bridge, it is interesting to notice that
hat old favorite, progressive whist"
threatened by somewhat formida-
Ie rival, says the London Mail.
The new game is called the "Miltour"
ame, which is played at tables, each
epresenting a different country and
ach bearing fort in which is stuck
be large flag Of the country the table
kpresents and about twenty little ones
8 the same nationality. The object of
be game is to capture as many "for-
Ign" flags as possible for ones "coun-
y"
This Is done by two players from
ch table moving from their own ter
tory" and attacking the two remain
g players at another table by playing
e hand at whist. Should the attack
q pair win they take back flag and
ut it in their own fort. The four
layers who capture the most flags for
peir country during the evening are
be winners. The game is most fas-
mating, for each pair of players, play
lg together all the evening, are viz
lally playing for the honor of their
untry.

A RUSSIAN PROPHECY.
Minister Fifteen years Ago Foretold
Present Conditions In Empire.

Minister Fifteen Years Ago Foretold
Present Conditions In Empire.
A prophetic document written in 1890
by the late NJ. vischnegrodslsi, minister
of finance, whose pupil Count Witte
was, is recalled by the present condi'
lions in Russia, says q cable dispatch
from st. Petersburg to the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger. Addressing his
fellow ministers, NJ. Vischnegrodski
foretold in. the most precise terms the
breakup of the bureaucratic power and
Insisted upon 'the development OF
some representative system of control
Action in this direction is none the less
necessary" continued the memoran-
DUN, 'because the influences Of reform
will come from without. rather than
within the empire, but we shall not rec
ognize that those influences are here
until some foreign power, England per-
haps or England in coalition with some
eastern power, Is knocking hard at our
gates.
1.-THE danger will at all events come
from the east, and IL we are beaten
there the effect Of our defeat will be
UNNECESSARILY greater in our home do
minions than in our Asiatic dominions.
We should therefore make 1t our object
to conciliate our people by wise meas
ures of reform and especially by the
reimbursement of our financial burden,
not engaging in any adventurous pol
icy until we have 80 strengthened our
domestic position that it need not fear
assault from either within or without"

Town Farmer Tells of Possibilities
Under Bounty Law.

Iowa Farmer Tells of Possibilities
Under Bounty Law.
Raising hogs has always been re
yarded as a profitable industry. but
raising wolves has it beaten ten ways,
according to special dispatch from
Burlington, Ia, to the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. 1t has come to the ears Of
Des Moines county officials that the
latter occupation Is being carried on
Systematically by few farmers, who
hope to reap good profit next spring.
The county pays 50 for every cub wolf
scalp presented at the auditors Of
flee and SIS for every old VOLTS scalp.
1t has been noticed for several years
past that certain farmers have been
reaping a rich harvest each spring on
the bounties they received for wolf
scalps. 1t is rarely that an old VOLTS
scalp is presented, and this fact served
to arouse the suspicious of the county
officials.
A farmer from one of the townships
where the wolves have been particu-
larly plentiful was in Burlington re-
Gently and unburdened himself of q
few lunches concerning the wolf in
dustry.
Its more profitable to raise wolves
than It is hogs" said this farmer. "If
you have noticed, the scalps Of the old
wolves are never turned in for bounty.
There Is good reason for this, as the
elimination of the old wolves would
put an end to the propagation of the
species. also put an end to the collec-
ton of wolf bounties Why, l know
farmer who has considerable timber
land on his place who has several old
wolves that are as tame as shotes.
ut costs little or nothing to keep
them, and every spring when the
young wolves are born the lair is in
vaded and the youngsters knocked on
the head before their eyes are open.
They mean So apiece at the auditors
office.
"It's surprising how fairly domes
ticated pair Of wolves will Nuke race
suicide look silly. II an effort was
made 1 warrant that every wolf in
the county could be exterminated In
a short time, but what's the use Of
discriminating them when little en-
couragement will keep them alive and
breeding two dollar bills?"
1t is said an investigation will be
made by county officials into this state
Of affairs and the enterprising wolf
breeders prosecuted.

GOOD TIMES FOR TRAPPERs.
Furs worth More now Than For Past
Thirty-three Years.

G0E0 wOEtA MOE0 NOW CVE = 0bA
Thirty-thrce Years.
The many trappers operating in
northern Minnesota will reap q rich
harvest the present winter, meaning
many comforts, even luxuries, In the
log cabins Of scores of sturdy settlers
who are mainly dependent upon their
traps during the cold months for q
livelihood, says the Duluth Herald.
The settlers and professionals In the
country directly tributary to Duluth
look for the most part to mink, mar
ten and otter to make their trapping
operations profitable, and the pelts Of
these little animals at present COM
mand higher price than at any time
during the past thirty-three years,
while there has been a decided slump
in the prices paid for furs from the
black, blue and silver fox, which bring
only $50 each now, where year or
two ago they were as high as $500
apiece.
Last winter $3.50 was considered a
good price for mink pelt, and 1t
wasn't more than season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind. Now choice
raw mink fur will bring Sill and a
marten pelt from $18 to So, where Sc
or 81 was paid last winter. An otter
skin is worth $22 just as 1t comes from
the trapper's hands, which Is away
oh noj1 than
thirty years. Quite a few fisher are
caught through northern Minnesota,
and these are worth from So to $40.
Beaver are very scarce in Minnesota.
They are worth from 81 to SO each.
The higher prices paid for furs will
also prove boon to the Minnesota In
dams or such Of them at least as have
any business ability. A good many of
the Indians trap during the winter,
but the trouble with the majority of
them is that they do not know the val
ue of their catch and are likely to sell
a twenty-five dollar otter pelt for 81 or
IS and an eleven dollar mink pelt for
a dollar CIR perhaps pint Of whisky.
The white man Is well aware Of this
fact, and some agents make 1t their
business during the winter to do moth
ing but buy furs Of the Indians, sell
ing them later at handsome margin
Of profit.
Even the little weasel, scores OF
which daily leave their tiny tracks in
the snow on the outskirts Of the city,
are worth ST each for their pelts. They
were valueless three years ago, and
two years ago were worth 10 cents
each. For time last winter the pelts
brought so cents each. Many black
bears are trapped and shot by settlers,
Indians and trappers.

number Or cases where rodents that
spurned tempting cheese and crackers
were easily enticed by rose, and 1t
is believed that the result of the ex-
perimentS proposed by the bureau will
be to show conclusively that these
flowers surpass cheese, crackers, rinds
of bacon and other bats that are com
monty used to entice the rats into
traps.
1t is explained that 1t is not SO much
the taste of roses that attracts the rat
as it is their fragrance, and for this
reason roses are expected to be the
popular bait Of the future.
Cases have been known where ro-
dents, attracted by the sweet perfume
of rose in house, have gnawed
through doors to get at the flower.
Rats have been known to become sus-
picious Of traps with the familiar bait
of cheese and bacon rinds and easily
evade a trap for long time. From
experience it has been found that white
roses, such as the dainty bride rose or
the snowy nephitos, have proved pref
cradle In rat catching. One or two of
these fragrant flowers are placed In the
wire Gagged trap,- and 1t is stated that
1t will not take long for Mr.. Rodent
to be tempted by the enticing and
sweet smelling bait.
The power Of rose as rat bait is
said to have originated in California
about two years ago, but 1t was not
until recently that the flower was used
to any extent. Now that the govern
ment has officially recognized the rose
as a rat catcher and will doubtless In
dorse it the flower will probably be
come common method of enticing
rats to the death traps.
