Vienna, February 5.-(Special.)-An ex-
traordinary will has been left by an elder

Vienna Her property amounting to
about 100000 is appointed to be divided
between her three nephews, now aged
"a, 27 and 20, and her three nieces, aged

SERIOUS MISTAKE
Two Honest Americans Are Taken fo
Swindiers.

Paris, February Especial -Ameri-
cans on holiday in Paris recently had a
curious experience. They were leaving
a shop in which they had spent the sum
OF $50, and found their passage barred
by the assistants and the manager, who
appeared at this moment, without the
least ceremony began to search the poclS-
cts of the two customers. On finding
about 5000 in their possession the man
ager smiled, and informed them that
they were the 'Swindlaires American"
for whom he was looking, and that they
would now be escorted to the police sta
ton. Two policemen were accordingly
summoned and a cab was hailed for the
two Americans, who soon found them
selves before the commissary under the
accusation of passing false money. An
expert was hastily summoned, and after
he had examined their gold he declared
that it was good.
On learning that the Americans were
no "swindlaires' the manager of the firm

LONDON'S RAT CATCHER
Challenge to Capture 1000 Rodents in
Three Knights

From the London Daily Mail.
John Jarvis of Camberwell, who has
just been appointed official rat-catcher to
the London County Council at a salary
of f4S 12s. Cd. per annum, is a rat-catcher
not only by profession but by instinct.
Since 1903 each male member of his
family has devoted his life to catching
rats, and SO it was with the greatest con-
fioence that yesterday Jarvis issued a
challenge to all rat-catchers of the king
dom to catch more of the vermn in a
given time than any man living provided
that neither dogs nor ferrets were en-
ployed In the hunt. Furthermore, he said
that with the assistance of his uncle, j.
Dalton, he would undertake to catch 1000
rdtssin three nights.
AS Jarvis made these challenges he
fondled half a dozen tame white rats
while his seven-year-old daughter at his

marry or to reside elsewhere than in the
house with the legatees as long as he

remuneration is attached

TrapDinuS MuSkratS

A farmers wife near Milford, Del,
earned $50 last year trapping muskrats.
In addition to this work she found time
to do all the house work and attend to
the needs of her three children.
Make a muskrat trap in a sugar bar

Put in plenty of bait or apples, carrots
or parsnips.
Take two or three poles, two to three
inches in diameter, let one end float or
rest on the mud at the waters edge
and fasten the other end at the top of
the barrel. The muskrats climb up the
pole and jump in and they cannot get
out. Six or seven have been captured in
such trap during one night.

To Become a Good Farmer

The man who wants to become good farmer
must not make the mistake OF hiring out to
poor one. Never work for a man who cannot
teach you something about the business. The
successful farmer does not succeed by sheer
luck. He succeeds because he knows how to
farm better than his neighbors or because he
makes better use OF common methods. The man
who learns his secrets win add to his own value
and be able to earn better wages or succeed
when he goes 10 farming for himself. The hired
man who is working for wages alone and
has no ambition to become expert IN
his business has no sympathy from me. IL he
has the opportunity TO learn the secrets or tue
successful farmer who employs lin and does
not do so he will be failure. The secret or
any successful business is information ana
the man who knows bis business from every
angle, whether Re is a farm hand or, a railroad
president and then puts ginger ana common
sense in bis work, viii win as he deserves.
