Victim Traps Himself and Rsssts
The Snare for Others.
Consul. General Bray reports from
Melbourne that new rabbit trap -
being used in Australia with great
success. whereby rabbits may be
caught alive in very large numbers.
It is used in connection with small
trap yards, diagrams for the eonstruc'
tion OF which are supplied by the
patentee Of the traps. The trap IT
self is 1S inches long, II inches higs
and s inches in width. It has q bali
anced moving floor and door al
each end, which opens and closes au'
tomatically. The weight OF rabbit
on the inverse end OF floor closes
the door behind him by which he has
entered and opens the door in front
leading to the trap yard, 80 that the
rabbit has no option but to go on,
and when he leaves the trap 1t goes
book to it's former position, thus re-
setting itself. The small trap yards
are constructed Of doable-wire netting
fences, in the spaces between which
green fodder or hay is cultivated or
provided, and, although these foods
cannot be reached by the rabbits, lsj
entices them to enter through tnea
traps to try and get out the fodder
from the other side. TWO, three or
more traps may be used In connecs6
ton with each trap yard. The inven-.
ton has been tried with great sue;
cess on several extensive ranches IN
Australia, and the inventor has g
number Of certificates from leading
ranchmen, one Of whom states that
with two Of the traps set at a small
water hole he caught G30 rabbits In
one night. :,

TURKEY WITH WOODEN LEG.
Big Bird Killed In Nirginia-Super'
stitions Of Long Shore Hunters.


In most communities there are Ger
tain persons who possess peculiar char
acteristics, habits and beliefs, and this
is true of the long shore sportsman OF
the old Mother State as Of persons
dwelling elsewhere.
Many Of the old time sportsmen still
carry and use their muzzle loading
guns, which cannot be displaced by
more modern. arms. They: usually
manage to. bag a good many birds
and other game, and this IS chiefly due,
it is believed to their knowledge OF
the habits Of the game. They seldom
go out without finding something.
A story is told Of one gunner who
if any of the shot should fall from his
hands while loading his gun will at
once return home and make no further
effort to hunt that day, believing, as he
says, that those lost were his luck
shot, and it would be useless for him
to continue the hunt.
Another, whom will call here Capt.
Pete, is sailor and all round yachts
man. He loves to tell Of his adVen-
turs with his dogs and gun, and Is sell
dom seen without them. He tells many
stories about the accuracy Of Sweet
Lips, his gun, and declares he can beat
any man in "a shootin' for turkey In
the United States Of Virginny."
On the occasion Of a turkey hunt near
the Rappahannock River Capt. Pete
claims to have shot forty pound wild
turkey, for which he was offered 81
cash. The gray whiskers on the tur-
keys breast we're eighteen inches long
and he. had one wooden leg. Here
Capt. Pete gives laugh that could be
heard half mile away. "Sar, he was
the biggest turkey I ever saw: There
were eighteen fellows In the bunch OF
US, and four others, and all ate a
sumptuous meal from one-half Of his
breast"
Uncle Pete says he cannot account
for the one wooden leg unless that
turkey. had been previously owned by
some one as pet wild turkey.-For-

After the collision the freight cars
on No. 13 caught fire, and as there

Where the Loss Would Fail.

If there is to be tariff war between
the United States and Germany we can
sustain it much better than Germany.
1t will also serve to force American
trade into other markets which have
hardly been cultivated by American
products. Compensations are offered
in many directions. German CONNER
cial houses. manufacturers and work
ingmen will seriously feel the loss of
imports from the United States, and
the deprivation will be reflected upon
