HOW BEST TO TRAP WOLVES
Government Sends InStruCtIan In Trap
ping the Pest.
VERY GREAT CARE MUST Be TAKEN

For wolves the best No. 1
double-spring trap with heavy
welded or special wolf chain
should be used. If the trap is
to be fastened to stationary
object, the chain should have
swivel at each end. If to a drag,
one swivel next to the trap is
enough. Always use a drag if
possible. The best is a stone of
30 or 40 pounds weight, to which
the chain is securely wired.
If no stones are to be had and
it is necessary to stake the traps,
when possible, place the trap be-
tween two tufts Of grass or weeds,
so it can be readily approached
from one side only. Bury the
stone, chain, and trap out Of
sight, with the trap nearest to
the runway where the wolves
follow trail or road, cross a
narrow pass, or visit a carcass.
The trap should be flush with
the surface Of the ground and
the jaws and pan covered with
piece of paper to keep the earth
from clogging under the pan.
Fine earth should then be
sprinkled over the paper until
all traces of trap and paper are
concealed. The surface of the
ground and surroundings should
appear as nearly as possible un-
disturbed. The dust may be
given natural appearance by
Sprinkling it with water. Touch
ing the ground or other objects
with the hands, splitting near
the trap, or in any way leaving
u trace Of human odors near by
should be avoided. Old, we'll
scented gloves should be worn,
and little of the scent used for
the traps should be rubbed on
the shoe soles. A piece Of old
cowhide may be used to stand on
and to pile the. loose earth on
while bur'ying the drag and trap.
Success in trapping depends
largely on the use of scent that
will attract wolves and coyotes
to the traps and keep them
tramping and paving there un-
til caught. Meat bait alone is
Of little use, and often, indeed,
scares the animals away. OF
the many scents and com bina-
tions tested the fetid bait has
proved most successful.
Place half pound of raw beef
or venison in a wide-mouthed
bottle and let it stand in a warm
place (but not in the SUM for
two to six weeks, or until it is
thoroughly decayed and the
odor has become as offensive as
possible. When decomposition
has reached the proper stage,
add q. quart Of sperm oil or any
liquid animal oil. Lard oil may
be used, but prairie-dog oil is
better. Then add ounce of
pulverized asafetida and / ounce
Of tincture Of Siberian musk or
Tonquin musk. If this can not
be procured, use in its place /
ounce of dry castoreum (beaver
CASTOR or ! ounce of the com
mon musk sold for perfumery.
Mix we'll and bottle securely
until used.
After setting the trap, apply
the scent with stick or straw
or by pouring from the bottle to
the grass, weeds, or ground on
the side Of the trap opposite that

Who Won't Fall In Love.
Frank r. White of the government
public school service in the Philippines
has come to the United States on
peculiar mission Mr. White is in
Washington to gather together about
25O men and women who are willing
to go to the Philippines to become
teachers. He had conference REGENTS
" with the officials of the insular bu-
rean at the war department and will
have interviews with the civil service
commission in regard to selecting per-
sons who are willing to teach
One POPULARITY about his mission is
that Mr. White wants teachers who
will teach the. E,ilpinos and who will
not fall i'll love with young army of
ficers and government employees in the
islands. The position of teachers pays
from 5000 to $500 per annum. and
Mr.. White is DESTROYS of taking ma
jority of young men if he can get them.
Mr.. White has been in the school serv-
lee in the Philippines for over six
years. He went to the islands from
Nebraska and has made a success of
his work in the, islands.
When he gathers together $50 teach
ers he will personally conduct the
party to the islands and install them
in their positions. He considers the
male teacher more reliable from the
standpoint of the matrimonial risk than
the female teachers, but he is willing
to try the young ladies and hopes to
have full cargo of both sexes ready
to sail in few weeks.

"HREE months ago it would have
been correct to refer to George
Bruce Cortelyou as presiden-
tial possibility. Now he is only a
past incident in the Il regret to report
class. Considering his startling career,
however, it would be unwise to say
that he will not again be a possibility.
three months hence. A man who in
less than ten years can rise from
government clerkship to the second
Office in the cabinet is one to oe reckon
ed with.
Properly to understand the miracle
of Cortelyou's advance one should have
been in Washington and have observed
the government clerk in action. The
average department clerk is certainly
the most hopeless, helpless, sapless be-
ing in existence. He is assured job
for life and is not working for him
self. He is therefore without stimulus
or ambition. He is denied individual
initiative by the governments red tape
system. His hours are short; his rou-
tine is fixed. He lives in a climate
that is enervating and in moral at
mosphere that is laden with intrigue,
cynicism and graft. Why should he
strive? He can hope for little promo
ton, and that will bring neither an
adequate salary nor distinction. He is
bound to the wheel for life and eEen
if he does escape is usually SO listless
he can succeed at nothing else. He is
without incentive and therefore with
out interest.
The only thing that makes men and
women worth their salt is spirit. Some

government at Washington, especially
the service in the inferior grades, takes

STEEL NETS FOR WARsHIPs.

Device to Protect Vessels Against an

A successful demonstration of a steel
net that will protect warships from
torpedo assaults was recently held in
Narragansett bay. says Newport dis
patch. Battleships of the United States
navy are to be equipped with the nets
at once and the cruisers and other YES
sells as rapidly as possible
The test was directed by naval Off
GERS under instructions at the torpedo
stations. The resistance of the nets to
Whitehead torpedoes was regarded as
sufficient demonstration of their util-
ity. The result was applauded by the
officers.
One of the torpedo nets which are
being made for the navy was taken to
the testing ground. 1t was held sus-
pended by two launches. and the tor
pedo boat Norris was brought into ac-
ton for the demonstration
Running at full speed. the Morris

yards Of the net at a speed of thirty
knots The torpedo struck the net. re-
bounded and glanced away from the
steel meshed obstruction The net
swayed and quivered under the shock,
but was not damaged
When the net was examined it was
declared to be powerful enough to re-
sist all torpedo attacks in action. 1t
was declared that the speed of the bat
tleship or cruiser protected by these

ance offered by the net

From His Church.
Hats with broad, spreading brims

This is the decision of the Rev. An

lie church in Kansas City, Kan, and
he has placed ban on THE Merry
Widow" hat.
Father Kuhls believes that women
can dress with taste without indulging
in every fad. Last summer he barred
elbow sleeves, saying their place was
in the kitchen, over the washtub. The
young women of his church were not
surprised. therefore, when the vener-
able priest denounced .'The Merry Wild

DO not wear them in this church. y
he said. They are out of place when
worn with the crucifx. Hats with a
brim spreading over two feet must not
be worn. Those in the rear cannot see
the sanctuary. Any one coming to
church with such a hat will be re-
quested to leave it with the sexton

The one word that describes Cortel-

the secretary of silence and work"
He is a creator of system, an organizer
of method. He works long hours and
expects those under him to work long
hours. He aecomplishes results with
out noise. He makes himself indis-
pensable and becomes not only the
right hand. but the shield and the

that has forced itself into the public
mind concerning Cortelyou is that he

mature judgment.
President Mckinley made Mr. Cortel-
you assistant secretary and finally Sec
rotary During the trying days of the
Spanish war, although John Addison
Porter was secretary in name, the
president learned to rely on Cortelyou,
whose retentiye memory, energy, tact
and method made him invaluable to
his worried chief.
Before the coming of Cortelyou the
private secretaries had been regarded
as jokes. the butts for the photographers
of the country The former stenog-
rapher brought the Office into respect
and organized the White House force
as never before.
Practically President For a Week.
His greatest trial came at the time
of McKinley's assassination Despite
the stunning blow this was to him
personally, he had to put aside his
grief and take charge of everything.
For a week he was practically presi-
dent of the United States.
In that crisis the quiet and capable
secretary lived up to the estimate al
ready made Of him by his stricken
chief.
"Cortelyou is wonderful fellow
said President Mckinley. HE never
loses his head.
ItWould be hard to imagine three men
more divergent in their characters,
methods and tastes than Grover Cleve-
land, William Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt. That Secretary Cortelyou
has served under all of them and has
elected praise from each shows his

Not much time for play.

And the planting day,
Has to clear away the frost
From the earth so numb;
Not moment TO be lost
Ere the Maytime come
Calls the sun up earlier
Puts him hard at work.
Every sunbeam is astir--
Not chance to shirk;
Keeps him working later, too.
In the twilight hours,
For there's such lot to do
For the coming flowers
Has to fold up all the wraps
Winters left aroand;
Cage the vagrant chilly snaps
That would freeze the ground:
Has to wake up all the trees.
Start the leaves along,
Get up breakfast for the bees
Pretty hungry throng.
Make things ready for the birds,
Who have started north.
And the grass for grazing herds
Must be sprouting forth
Natures quite the busiest
Worker far and near
Must have ready all her best

all the spirit out of human beings.
This is not theory. 1t is a sad fact OBJ
served Of all who have lived long in
the Capital City.
Over the door through which enters
it's myriad of clerks the government
should write:
Leave hope behind, all We who enter here.
My advice to any one contemplating
a civil service examination looking to
government employment is this: Work
on farm, shovel in the street. sail
before the mast, get job in boiler
factory, pick cotton, dig in the mines
or do any kind of mans work that will
preserve your individuality and your
ginger rather than enter that spirit
killing. backbone softening, pith eA-
tracing process known as the govern
ment service.
The only government clerk before
Cortelyou that ever heard of amount
ing to anything was Walt Whitman,
and he was great enough to succeed in
spite of the handicap. The life even
Slapped Whitman's energy until he
was continually writing about various
glori6ed forms of Incidence. For ex-
ample, he sang:
I loaf and invite my soul
The average government clerk could
paraphrase this to read:
I loaf and invite my salary.
That George B. Cortelyou could
emerge from this moral and mental
miasma and become a man among men
entities him to great respect.
