ship on the Trapper.

This stole of imperial ermine is
worth $1,000 said the dealer. Dear:
Nix. Just consider how the animals
comprised in it were caught.
In the first place, they were caught
in a winter Of extreme cold, for it is
only in such winter that the weasel,
or ermine, turns from tawny to snow
white. In normal winters the ermine
only turns to a greenish white-like

IN the second plac the ermine
were caught young; for, S hen fully de-
veloped, their coat is coarse and stiff
-as in this $3.50 stole-and to catch
them young. the tongue trap must be
used Any other trap would tear the
delicate fur.
THE tongue trap is knife, an or

grease. that the hunter lays in the
snow The little ermine sees the
blade. which it mistakes fer ice. Ice
it loves to lick-and so it ticks the
knife blade-and is caught fast, its
tongue, in that zero ather, frozen

Yes, sir, when you see a stole like
this, don't begrudge a good price for
it, for every ermine in it was tongue

Despite his inherited talent which
would insure him permanent employ
ment on the stage, the son shows a
fondness for living on the income of
his parent. He can see no reason
why both of them should work.
One time the father got tired of ad-
vancing money to the son. An es
arrangement had been threatening for
long time. Finally, the father seal
ed the climax when, in response to a
written touch" fer $50, he sent the
boy a So note, with the added advice
that that was the last money he
should ever advance to him. To this
threat the son sent the following an
swer:
If you do not send me the $50 re-
quested I'll use this So in the purchase
OF a revolver and blow my brains out"
The father in reply to this tragic
note, sent back this one:

DAYBooKMo TROUBLE
THAN INJURED-BASCH
]. H. Basch, general manager
of Siegel, Cooper & Co.'s depart
ment store, is very peeved at The
Day Book.
The Day Book today sent re-
porter to see .Basch and find out
if that gentleman were yet ready
to tell the truth about Saturdays
elevator accident in the store.
Basch threw up his hands
when he saw the reporter.
"Why, you fellows are more
trouble to us than the people who
were injured in the accident arep
Doubtless this is quite true.
The people who were injured
have apparently been spirited
away to some place where they
cannot make much trouble-al-
lowing that they have not been
hurt so badly they are not fit to
make any,.

Basch was found not to be
ready to tell the truth about the
accident.
Inquiry was made at the
Michael Reese hospital, to which
at least one of the victims of the
accident, Mrs, Zimeringblat, was
taken.
A woman answered the hospi-
tai telephone.
"How is Mrs. Zimeringb1at to-
day." the reporter asked.
"She is doing very well, thank
you, said the woman.
There was no time lost in Civ
ing the answer. It came right
back to the reporter, neat and
pat. This is quite strange. Us
ually, when one calls up a hospital
to find out the condition of a pa
tient, the person, whose duty it is
to answer the hospital telephone,
takes time to find out what that
patients condition is.
1t was. reported today that an
other of the-women hurt in the

BIG MILL DAMAGED
 IN GRANT C0INTY

Sheridan, Ark, Nov. 26.-The saw. and shingle mill owned by D. E. Gean and w. F. Smith, was destroyed by fire about 6 o'clock this morning. Most of the lumber in the yards was saved. The origin of the fire is not known but it is believed that the saw dust around the furnace became ig- nited. The damage amounted to about S5,OOO with no insurance.
