PROFIT IN A MUsKRAT FARM.
Woman Enlarging Her Bank Account
In Novel Manner.

Newark, Del.--Running muskrat
farm may be a~queer business, but
that it is profitable one Mrs John
Fox can vouch. Mrs. Fox owns 400
acres of marsh land between Silver
Run and Appoquinimink river on
which nothing whatever can be rails
ed except muskrats, wet she will clear
in the four months from November
Is to March 10 more money than any
wheat or corn grower in the state
will in year on a farm of the same
size.
The muskrat crop this year is un-
usually good and as consequence
Mrs. Fox is fattening her bank ac-
count In the past fifteen days men
employed by her have trapped 100
muskrats. The pelts ar worth forty
five cents apiece and the bodies five
cents, making the market price fifty
cents for each animal
Curing the entire season it is ex-
pected that 10000 muskrats will be
trapped on her marsh land, which
will bring in $4,000 and of that am
cunt at least $4,000 will be profit.

THE LONESOME TIGREss BALKs.
Grieves Over Loss of Former Mate,
She ResentS Another.

New York.-Jennie, the widowed
Bengalese tigress of the Central Park
menagerie, has been grieving so much
over the loss of her mate that her
friends decided to make her a present
of new husband. Dick, the big ST.
berian tiger that has passed the last
ten years in bachelorhood, was Sc
lected.
Jennie's trouble was diagnosed as
lonesomeness, the cure was thought
to be a companion. She was put in a
shifting cage and taken down to
Dicks apartment. The big Siberian
was inclined to be ugly when he saw
that his home was to be invaded, but
when he caught sight of a member of
the royal Bengal tribe he calmed
down. When she was installed Dick

SPOKANE TO HAVE A
HUGE AUDITORIUM
Structure With Seating Capacity OF
10000 Is Projected.

lU,UUu Is frOJcCtcu.
Spokane, Wash.-A huge auditor
ium, with seating capacity of at least
10000 and so constructed as to be
available for all public gatherings,
will undoubtedly be erected in Spokane
this year. The initial steps toward
such an undertaking have been made
and the proposition will soon be
placed before the citizens either in
the form of municipal bond issue
or by public subscription.
The necessity for such a building
has been strongly in evidence dur
ing the four National Apple shows
held annually in the city since 1908
and also the crying need of such
building to house the ever increasing
number of national conventions which
are being secured for the city. In
addition to these calls Spokane has
no large auditorium where mass
meetings, festivals. automobile shows,
poultry shows, dances, celebrations
and spectacles can be held. 1t is be-
lieved such an institution can be made
self supporting through the constant
ly increasing patronage which will
follow the permanent housing of an
nual events here.
A municipal bond issue to provide
100000 is receiving more encour-
agement than a public subscription
proposition. At a banquet rendered
by over 100 of the leading financial,
industrial and business men of the
city, it was unanimously voted to have
such building and without a dis
senting voice the bond issue was fa-
vored. The chairman of the meet
ing, F. E. Cartier Van Dissel, who
has been identified with the Nationa.
Apple show and other public enter
prises for several years, was author
lied to name committee of 10 who
shall formulate a form of bond to
place before the electorate.
! The flexible type of auditorium,
such as is in use at Denver, st. Paul
and few other cities, is favored. In
these auditoriums there is sufficient
room to seat 10000 people in an i'm
mense convention hall and by an in
genious mechanism operated by hy-
draulic pressure the inner walls of
the building are made to close in and
a temporary stage is lowered from
the loft, reducing the size of the
building to a theater accommodate
ing 5000 to 5000 persons. The tenn
porary walls can also be used to form
a number of smaller halls at the
same time, thereby accommodating
three or four medium sized conven-
tions at once. Such building. it is
estimated, can be erected at a cost of
100000, exclusive of the site.

GERMANY'S ENEMY WILL
PROBABLY ACCEPT OFFICE

Paris, France, Jan. 12.-(Bulletin.)
-Theouhile Lei Case, who has been
offered the portfolio of premier of the
French government, is today serious
ly considering accepting the office.
His acceptance would be the ut
most defiance of Germany, who de-
manded and secured his official de-
capitation in 1905.
1t has been learned that if Del
Case does accept the office he will
also retain his present office as min
lister of foreign affairs.

SUGGESTS AID FOR LEAP YEAR.
Urges Adjustment of Matrimonial
COnyentiOnality.

Boston, Mass.-That women should
propose was one contention of George
Willis Cook before the School of So
cial Science.
He also said that modesty which,
like other so-called virtues, is not
matter of morals at all but purely of
convention, is no more characteristic
of women than of men, and he told
of instances of where men even now
do the coqueting.
ITO deny that the man now serves
no other purpose than his original
function of parenthood is no more
preposterous than to assert the same
of woman. as the educated woman
proves" Cook said.
''Woman's hypocrisy and kindred
faults exist only as the result of her
subjection-and even her modesty is
not feminine.

disturbance central yesterday in
the nridle west will advance to the

precipitation being in the form of rain
in southern and snow and rain in nor

This disturbance will be followed by
change to colder weather over all

The next general disturbance to
cross the country will appear in the
far west on Wednesday or Thursday,
cross the middle west about Friday
