Muskrats.

Rare old Captain John Smith in his
quaint "History Of New England an(
the Summer Isles," published in Lon
don in 1924, gives probably the frs
written account Of the muskrat. He
says that "the mussacus is beast OF
the form and nature of our English
water rat'' and adds that "some OF
them smell exceedingly strong OF
musk" These animals may be caught
in almost any sort of trap baited
with sweet apples or parsnips. Musk
rats have very strong teeth and can
use them on wood effectively, so it is
wise to protect all corners and cracks
In your wooden traps with pieces OF
tin or sheet iron. They have good
noses and can smell an apple long
distance off. Place your traps in the
shallow water at the edge of the mill
pond or stream inhabited by these rats
and they will doubtless find it without
difficulty. Young muskrats are very
gentle and playful and may be handled
without fear. They do not grow fierce
with age If reared in captivity and &C
customed to gentle treatment.

The Name SARATOGA,

The original name Of Saratoga was
"Serachtague." About the middle of
the eighteenth century it was "Saragh-
toge." During the administration Of
Governor Leisler it was "Sarachtoge. !"
Isn't this quaint 1889:
Upon We news vt three People should be
kid at Bartel Vromans at Sarachtoge by
ye Indians
Resolved by We Convention vt Lief
Jochim Staets forwith goe with ten men
to Sarachtoge to see how We matter Is, &
bring us an accompt with We first, & vt
he Cito send Post hither with We tide
lngs.
Spelling reformers would be delighted
with 'kild." And "ye'' is shorter than
"the," and "yt" is shorter than
that" "Goe" is expansive, but ''for-
with" for forthwith" is a contraction.
Schoolcraft thinks that Saratoga is de-
rived from the Indian words "Assa-
rat"-sparkling, and "oga"-place.-

TO Influence The MARKET
Number of Unfounded Rumors In Cir
culation.

New York, Oct. 2;.-Among the ru-
mors adoat in New York there have
been many affecting a number of lead
ing commercial houses. These ru-
mors have evidently been started for
the purpose Of affecting the stock
market and a man high in authority
in the firm of John Wanamaker makes
the following statement:
"The rumors that have been in cir
culation regarding this firm recently
are ridiculous and without foundation.
The affairs Of the firm were never in
better shape than they are now and
the business of the New York store
never larger. The business Of the
latter store SO far this month has
been the largest of any month since
the store was opened and we are en-
deavoring to make it a thorough rec.
ord breaker. Everything is all right.
We are able to get all the goods we
want and there is no trouble"

Fairbanks Denies Interview,

Middlesboro, KY, Oct. 2'-Before
leaving his special train here Vice
President Fairbanks made clear his
position In reference to quotations
from certain St. Louis and New York
papers to the effect that he was not a
candidate, actively Or receptlvely, for
the presidency. He said that while in
st. Louis he refused positively to dis.
cuss politics and that any statement
alleged to have come from him In ref
erence to national politics or the pres
idency was entirely unfounded.
