How to Get a coonskin Coat

Coonskin overcoats are within the
reach of Minnesotans who will spend
a few days in the woods with a coal
oil barrel and some parsnips, accord.
ing to j. L. Ferguson, a trapper who
lives in the vicinity of Cass Lake.
IF yol'll go to a timbered district. "
he said, Sink coal oil barrel two.
thirds of its length in the graund, sus.
pend a parsnip over it about foot
from the top and leave it over night
you should catch at least one coon
and possibly three. The head of the
barrel must be removed and there
must still be traces of coal oil in the
inside, so the slaves will be slick. The
coon will be attracted by the smell
of the parsnip (there is nothing a coon
likes better; he will climb the out.
side of the barrel and in trying to
stand on the rim and reach the sus.
pended parsnip will fall in. There e
no possibility of his climbing out"

uous time in Honduras, but had been
rescued by an American gunboat. The
friend wrote that Poe, who was q
general in command Of a one-gun bat
terry, struck for the coast when things
began to look black with peace and
there was little to do. He found the
American war vessel and promptly
asked for transportation home.
Sure" said the commander. "WeIl
be glad to have you. Come aboard
when you want. Well probably lay

springing from his chair. I'm not
running a freighter!"
"Oh, well, don't get excited"
purred Poe; my 81 pieces consist of

DROPPING FROM. THE CLOUDS
Australian Aeronaut Describes How II
Feels to Descend with a
Parachute.

How it feels to drop from the clouds
in parachute is thrillingly de.
scribed in Popular Mechanics by Capt.
Penfold, famous Australian aeronaut.
He says: CHANGING up at your para
chute to see If the cords are Olsen
tangled you grasp your trapeze rope
by one hand, your cutaway line with
the other, cross your legs around your
trapeze bar, collect your thoughts, and
pull the knife. At once the wind
rushes past you the trapeze seems not
to hold your weight, you fall as II
pushed, unprepared, from high stage
into the water at the baths. You look
overhead to see the parachute open.
the parachute cloth is dropping In
bundle to reach you as 1t were, but
before 1t does, your weight tells and
pulls the cords straight, the wind
catches under the cloth Of your can
opy, you have few anxious moments
as it slowly unfolds like huge UNI
brella and with a slight tug as II fish
were running away with your fishing
line you are supported like a feather,
and you experience feeling of salts
faction and safety. Down you float
to terra firma like bird on out
stretched wings, and if it is a calm
day, your descent is almost vertical
at the rate of eight to ten feet Sec
ond. When nearing the ground the
earth seems to rush up to meet you,
and what at a height of 1000 feet
seemed a small box in an allotment,
turns out now to be good-sized
house. You reach the ground as if
in free drop from height of about
four feet"

At 1t Again. We do not mean

to say much abou
our vacation last week. There
are few things which you will
be interested to know. The
first is that the country as far
east as Hutchinson along both
the Rock Island and Santa Fe is
prosperous. The farms look
well, the crops good, for the
most part. East of Pratt the
wheat has suffered from the
hard winter and spring winds.
Some has been plowed up and
some more should have been.
What is left is growing finely
and is promising. The towns
all are on the move in improve
ments. One who has been ac-
quainted with the country for
20 or more years will notice that
the growth of the country has
been a steady advance, which is
plainly in evidence now. lThere
is a constant increase in the
number and size of orchards and
groves as the train carries one
eastward. This is true from
Minneola. Coming westl the
diminishing number and height
of trees is noticeable until one
enters the Crooked Creek valley
where the groves and orchards
compare favorably with those at
Hutchinson. The best farms
and farm cropsssseen were here
at home. Along the Arkansas
valley there are good Icrops and
trees in profusion.
The Vega orchards and forest
tree plantation just ss''west of
Hutchinson, where Mr. Vega |
has his private switch and depot,
prove the success of and profit
of both forest tree growing and
fruit productions. We made
our first trip up the Arkansas
river in January of 1886. Writ
ing to an eastern paper a des-
cription of the country and the
trip, we used ubstantially the
following words. "Since day
light at Newton we have been
climbing westward crossing
country level or gently rolling,
speeding along hour after hour
over track LAID at the grass
root level with never a cut or fill
of six feet. One can here see
across the Arkansas river to the
sand hills on the south and to
the uplands on the north. There
is scarcely sign of farming and
no trees either indigenous, along
the river, or in plantations. "
Last week we passed over the
same route, and every thing ex-
cept the rail road grade has
changed. Farm joins farm con-
tinuously. The river is fringed
with trees all the way and one
plantation of trees laps by
another so that the view is cut
off in all directions. Near Paw 1
nee Rock the rail road uses the
old Santa Fe trail and the gran
lite monuments marking its I
course, carry the mind back to
the days of the OK and mule
trains of the freighter, and on
to the days of the pack trains of
the early traders, and farther
to the Indian packers of the
aboriginal merchants. The trail
