mails Build Winter Homes.
In the month of March, before the
rivers have opened, on the snow around
the heads Of the creeks and about the
alrholes In the thick Ice may be seen
the curious trail Of the muskrat. 1t
can readily be recognized by the firmly
planted footmarks. heavily and slowly
impressed and the sharp after drag of
the long, scaly, bladelike tail. All
through the cold winter months these
heavily furred animals have lived
warm and comfortable in their well
constructed houses, rearing their third
and last litter. One house erected
about September seemed planned with
almost human foresight. Here. with
their long sharp teeth and strong, inch
long claws, they had cut aud cleared
wide paths through all the marshes
paths SO deep that three feet of ice did
not close them, SO wide that we have
often padded along them. marveling
at the great floating masses OF torn up
aquatic vegetation. These paths were
q hundred yards long and four feet
wide and were cut through q mass of
tangled cover high enough In most
places to thoroughly conceal a duck
hunter and his canoe. In the winter
months the muskrats can easily dive
from their houses into these under Ice
channels, and the whole marsh is be-
fore them to choose their meal from.
The long yellow roots OF the flag and
the juicy tubers OF the wild onion (the
muskrat apple is the more poetic Ojib-
way) hang exposed before them or are
readily torn out.-Boanycastle Dale In
Outing Magazine.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, June r.
When the Schmitz trial was resumed
today with Abraham Rueff on the
stand, the court overruled the objec-
ton of the defense to the question
that was pending when court adj

Rueif replied in the affirmative.
Rueff said that when he gave S2.5UU
to Schmita he told the mayor 1t was
his (Schmitz) share of the money that
had been received from the French
restaurant, but Ruef testified that he
had In January. 1907, given to
Schmitz $1,000. telling the mayor
that the French restaurant keepers
had paid second instaliment
amounting to $4,000. On cross exam.
inatlon Ruef said that Assistant Dis.
trlct Attorney Henney and Detective
Burns had promised that IL he made
full statement they would do what
they could for leniency for him.
Attorney Campbell of the defense
asked Ruef IL he could produce a
contract from the French restaurant
men to act as their attorney. Ruef
,, drew from a pocket the document
which the defense has relied upon tc
prove the exculpation OF Ruef and
Mayor Schmitz. Ruef said he saw
