KAISER GETS TWOSTAGS
HUNTING TRIP DISCOUNTS Re-
PORT OF HIS ILLNESS.

Special Cablegram to The Star
BERLIN, October 13.-Reports which
were current that the kaiser's health was
again giving cause for alarm in conse-
ouence of the recurrence of throat troubles
are belied by his remarkable performance
in the hunting forests at Rominten recently,
when in the course of deer stalking ex-
petition lasting eight hours without
break, his majesty brought down two mag
nifcent stays with sixteen pointed antlers.
The first stag, rather an old one, was
shot shortly after breakfast. He was
killed principally because Of the annoyance
he caused to younger and better animals.
Meantime a thoroughly high grade stag,
with irregular sixteen pointed antlers, was
reported to be roaming in another section
Of the forest.
The kaiser jumped into his swiftest motor
car, accompanied by Admrals Won Tlrpitz
and Mueller and little after o'clock In
the afternoon got within range Of his prey,
and with a splendidly aimed shot through
the vitals brought the stag to earth. he
weighed $3.50 pounds.

THE MALADY OF POVERTY.
Disease Of the World for Which q
Great Physician Is
Needed.

The busy scientists announce a new
cure for some disease every few
months. Some of the cures work
and some OF them don't-like father
in the ballad, they sit round all day.
says the Atlanta Journal.
1t seems strange that with all tbs
labor and thought expended and all
the inventive genius and great wealth
which has been Tor which might have
been) devoted to the task, no remedy
has ever been thought out for thu
greatest disease of them all-poverty.
In the face of poverty and human su3-
fering the world seems just about as
helpless now as it was thousands Of
years ago.
Temporary relief, of more or less
effectual nature, is applied. But that
is like local application Of liniment
to local sore when in reality an or
gnnic disease should be treated. II
there is famine in Ireland, for i'm
Stance-and famines occur periodically
in the emerald isle-a few cargoes Of
grain are sent in, a lot of men, women
and children are saved, perhaps TO
starve to death later, while lot starve
to death on the spot. The famine
drops cut of notice then, until tho
whole miserable story is repeated.
Man considers himself pretty foxy
sort of an animal, but he has not
learned the trick of making one calam-

case in England is better than in ire

ployed problem ever since the tina
when her population used to go for
spiritual advice to the Druidic priests.
In London to-day there is a dependent
poor population larger than the entire

TRAppERs PROSPEROUS.
Furs Are. Bringing Better Prices Now
Than for Thirty-T Three
Years Past.


The many trappers operating IN
northern Minnesota will reapa rich
harvest the present winter, meaning
many. comforts, even Injuries, In the
log cabins of scores Of sturdy settlers,
In the wilds Of the northern country,
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 Du-
luth look for the most part to mink,
marten and otter to make their trap
ping operations profitable. and the
pelts of these little animals at pres
ent command 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 a 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 $11,
and marten pelt from SIS to $40,
where SO or 81 was paid last winter.
An otter skin is worth $22 just as 1t
comes from the trapper's hands, which
is away above any price paid for more
than thirty years. Quite a few fisher
are caught through northern Min
nesota, and these are worth from IS
to $40. Beaver are very scarce in
this state. They are worth from 81
to 50 each.
The higher prices paid for furs will |
also prove boon to the Minnesota |
Indians, 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. ma
jority Of them is that they do not |
know the value of their catch, and |
are likely to sell $22 otter pelt for
81 or IS, and a 81 mink pelt for a
dollar, or perhaps pint Of whiskey.
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 mar
gin of profit.
These agents usually travel from
reservation to reservation by dog
team or snow shoes.
Even the little weasel, scores Of
which daily leave their tiny tracks in
the snow on the outskirts of the city,
are worth 81 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. The
weasel also belongs to the homologue
of the American sable, together with
the marten, mink, fisher, and otter.
The American sable really is the mar
ten, according to some authorities. II
is commonly called the pine marten,
and at first glance the only disting-
uishing feature between it and the
mink is a spot of beautiful orange
color ON its throat, just under the
chin.
A grizzly bear skin is worth $40, ii
In the best condition, but Of course (
grizzly bears are unknown in this
state. Many black bears are trapped
and shot, however, by settlers, Indians
and trappers.
