NOT VIOLATION TO
TRAP SKUNK
TRAPPERS ONLY SUBJECT TO
LAWS OF TRESPASS JUST
LIKE HUNTERS.

Dealers in furs are complaining
that there is a misunderstanding OF
the trappera regarding the trapping
of skunks that is costing both the
trapper and the dealer something in
this county. Dealers say that the
trappers are of the opinion that it
is violation of the law to catch a
skunk in trap. This they say is an
error and arose from the question OF
trespass, trappers, the same as hunt
ers, being required to have a permit
to go on the grounds of others for
trapping, the same as for hunting.

MORALITY AND FASHION.

It may be argued with considerable
force that more harm than good has
been done by the Illumination of NOR
alists against the slit skirt and d.
aphanous gown. What these philip
pics have done In chief Is to empha
size the comparatively few cases OF
extreme styles and kept the prurient
aspect OF the subject constantly be-
fore the public The mind that Is
stirred to evil by the slight reveal
ment of the average slit skirt needs
no special exctant 1t is unwhole-
somely prurient and will find evil any
where. 1t Is childish to believe its
prurience can be so created says the
Chicago Tribune. Purists are con-
stantly exaggerating the Importance
stimuli and attacking symptoms in
stead of causes. II there were more
sermons preached against impure
thoughts and fewer against objects,
often of themselves quite innocent,
which purists are afraid will stir i'm
pure thoughts, more progress would
be made, If our minds are so unclean
that we cannot see the lines of wom-
ans body without impure suggestion,
the cure should be applied to US, not
to her. IF thine eye offend thee, pluck

IDEAS.

Some people have no ideas. They
don't 60 where they are. They read
books that haven't any They never
get into the woods to hunt for them.
They never drop line in a stream to
fish for them. Really, they are so
brought up that If an idea came
around where they were they wouldn't
know it. They would think 1t was an
intruder and try to kick it, says the
Ohio State Journal, What they take
for Ideas are whims, prejudices.
hints, scraps Of jokes and shreds of
gossip. From these they make up
their conclusions and opinions. They
furnish them resource for infinite con-
troversy. One can listen to such PEG.
pie for hours and not get an idea
that is thought born of the spirit.
/. 1t is mostly the scum of matter. When
one of these people Is in charge Of
some fine mission or some great public
interest, 1t is unfortunate indeed. They
handle it like bulldog would thread
a needle, making a great ado, but new
er accomplishing anything. They new
er think they are not equal to the
duty. On the other hand, they sup
pose they are especially fitted for the
task, If 1t were suggested that they
get few good, self-evident truths be-
fore they accepted a duty, they would
scorn the suggestion. Not having any
ideas, they would think they knew it
all.
