Government Hunter Brings in
Many Wild Animals.
Nlmrod Tells Of Some Of His Thrilling
Experiences In the Cascade
Mountains Where He
Kills Beasts.

The killing of 300 wildcats, 20 bears,
IL cougars and four lynxes-that is
the record Of P. c. Peterson of North
Bond since he was appointed govern
ment hunter Of the state of Washing
ton two years ago.
Ihere are some persons who assert
there is not much big game in that
state, but Peterson says the reason
such statements are made is not be-
cause OF scarcity of the animals, but
because OF the difficulty of finding
them In the heavy timber.
Peterson has hunted all over the
United States and in nearly every
part OF the world, and he declares the
sport he has had in the Cascade
mountains rivals any other parts of
the country.

cougar was so far up in the tree and
the foliage was so dense that could

FRENCH FROG FARM

The process is exceedingly simple

plants and so situated that the water

pose. If, as is frequently the case, the
pond already abounds in frogs, they
are simply protected and left year or
two to propagate. If food does not
prove abundant the owner throws in
living earthworms, for the frog is a
carntvorous animal and prefers his
food, whether worms, larvae, or in
sects, fresh and in a normal, living
condition.
IF no frogs exist in the water they
are planted either living or in the
form of eggs, which hatch as the water
becomes warm in April and May. The
green frog spawns during early spring,

1000 eggs, surrounded with a gelatin

parent, the eggs hatch at the end of

although not fully grown until the
following year, is ready for market by
the end of October
Securing the frogs depends on vari
Gus conditions and somewhat upon the
temperament of the catcher. If he is
a sportsman he will prefer to take
them by fishing with hook baited with
a bit of red cloth or with a bob of the
same material. The frog is exceedingly
voracious. and when cautiously ap-
preached will rush at the hook or bob

til he can be drawn into a net. Another
method is to fish at night with a bulls
eye lantern, the light of which distract
the frogs so that they may be readily
taken with a scoop net or even with
the hand.

use a seine or other form of dragnet.

The main seasons for catching
frogs are during the spawning period

FEW CARESSES IN HER LIFE
Infinite Pathos In Remark Made by
Little Philadelphia Child Of

DR.. Herman L. During, superintend.
ent Of the Philadelphia City mission,
has for many years devoted his life
to the poor. DR.. During is the in
ventor of the pretzel test for street
beggars. When a street beggar pleads
starvation, you buy him big German
pretzel at the nearest stand. If he
eats the pretzel, he is honest; If he
refuses it, he is a fraud.
DR.. During in his work among the
poor has learned many odd, quaint
things that he relates superbly, for he
is born story-teller. In an address

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and f1neness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
