THOUGHTLESS TRAPPERS.
Torture to Animals and Ruthless
Destruction of Game.

People who have not seen can form
no idea of the suffering trappers cause
nor of their ruthless destruction Of
squirrels are sacrificed to bait traps
for marten and fisher, and not only the
squirrels, but all kinds of birds, wheth-
cr game or song birds.
In trapping mink, otter, beaver and
few other fur bearing animals the
crap is nearly always set near the
water, where the animal when caught
can drown itself, thus ending its suf-
fering
But with bear, marten and fisher it is
different. The bear must drag a heavy
clog about until IL catches in some root
or bush. There he must wait until the
trapper comes to kill him, and this in
some cases is not for days. The bones
of the leg are almost invariably broken
by the trap, and the leg swells to In
credible size. One trapper In one day
shot nineteen large blue grouse merely
to try a new rifle. The birds were nest

one did he even bring to camp.
Years ago in British Columbia an old
trapper camped near our bear hunting
party. He shot everything he could
find. even little ducks and marmots. A
goat he killed fell over a cliff, and as
it was harder to recover it than to shoot
another he shot another. He was

CONSCIENTIOUS ROGUES.
The Big and Formidable sinners Are
Gray of Soul, Not Black.

The Big ana FOrmtdnble sinners are
Gray of Soul, Not Black.
No paradox is II, but a demonstrable
fact. that In n highly articulatc society
the gravest harms are inflicted not by
the worst men. but by those with vir-
tues enough to boost them into some
coign of vantage The boss whe sells
out the town and delivers the poOi over
to filth. disease and the powers that
prey owes his chance TO his engaging
good fellowship and big heartedness.
Some of the most dazzling careers OF
fraud have behind them long and reas-
turing records of problty, which have
served TO bait the trap Of villainy.
Not that these dccoy virtues are Coun-
terfeit They are, in fact, so genuine
that often the stalwart sinner perse-
veres in the virtue that has lifted him
into the high places he abuses. The
legislator consCientiously returns the
Doodle when he finds he cannot de
liver the goods" The boss stands by
his friends to his own hurt. The lob
bying lawyer Is faithful TO his client.
The corrupting corporation president Is
loyal to his stockholders. The bought
en- editor never quite overcomes his
craft instinct TO print "all the news
there is
In word, the big and formidable
sinners are gray of soul. but not black,
80 that chastisement according to their
character rather than according to their
deeds lets them off far too easily-E.
