Wolves are the most difficult OF all
animals to trap, and it is usually by
working upon their uncomfortable
curiosity that they are most easily
deceived The campfire set is one
of the best When a man makes
camp in the forest the wolves. If
they are near, are sure to note his
whereabouts. When he has gone
they trot up to investigate the
ground, and with due caution pick
up any scraps he may have left lying
about. The Campfire set is made
as follows: First, hollow out an OBJ
long hole in the ground just large
enough to take the trap, and per-
haps five inches deep. Cover the
trap with a sheet of brown paper,
and over this I'LL the hole with damp
earth. Then light fire on the top of
it. and into the fire, as it burns low,
throw a few scraps Of raw meat.
Should a wolf come along to inves-
tigate the place. he is sure to scent
the cooked meat, and viii start
scratching in the ashes for 1t, thus,
of course, springing the trap.
One of the greatest difficulties in
wolf trapping is to hide the afore-
said tell-tale scents, SO keen is their
sense of smell The traps must never
be handled with the naked fingers.
Old gloves, soaked in oil or fat, are
used. and 1t is best TO smoke the
trap over ''smudge" fire before set

How Wolf Was Trapped

bag.
The old "wolvers'' often used to
proceed as follows: They would
start out on their round dragging a
piece of carrion behind their morse or
cart by means of a long rope, thus
leaving a trail, upon which they set
their traps at regular intervals. At
night time the wolves took the trail
up, and which ever way they followed
II they were sure 10 encounter one or
more traps.
Wolves are more easily done away
with by the use of strychnine than
they are by trapping. A trail of bats
is laid, the central bait containing
poison. Into this bait Is stuck a
black feather, to warn passersby to
keep their dogs out of the danger
zone. and incidentally to attract the
attention of the wolf Having picked
UP several of the bats, he has now
lost suspicion and gulps down his
dose of poison, which kills him almost
instantly.
The wolf-trap is never fastened to
a permanent fixture, such as a tree or
stake, as the captured animal is then
able to pull, and ten to one will es-
cape. II Is fastened, instead, to a
log or drag that the animal can pull
along after him. and that hampers
his progress, though it does not pre-
vent 1t. A wolf has been known TO
drag q heavy ioE. With the Trap at

Felix three himself in chair in the
stuffy little room, in which each sep

the other. If Mrs. Beals was not the
own mother of the unfortunate Dan,
Felix did not feel any responsibility
concerning her welfare. Mrs. Beals
appeared to be fully able to take care

marveled that an artist like Dare

awhile she learned to translate their

feminism, in its broadcast sense, is at

and scoffed at by sceptics, but the
loss of tens of thousands of men in
the war Is declared to prove that the
predictions must be fulfilled.
Owing to the fact that the next new
moon will fall on the cusp of the
seventh house with Mars and Venus
therein, the prospect of speedy peace
is not encouraging. There is a threat

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1914.

Astrology reads this as rather an
unimportant day in planetary direc-
ton, for while in the early hours
Venus is In benefic aspect, Uranus is
mildly adverse and there is no strong
government.
1t is a fairly good day for business
projects in which women are con-
cerned, but care should be exercised
to avoid misjudgment and miscalcula-
ton. There Is an influence believed
to encourage deception and to rem
der difficult perception of character
and motives that actuate important
moves in business.
1t Is not a good aspect for beginning
any work or for entering into new
business associations. Partnerships
and contracts are subject to an evil
leading.
There is said to be a tendency,
while this configuration lasts, to make
hasty decisions and to regret them
afterward. Change of mind is more
frequent than at other times.

Then he went to see her in her

He said: I'm 1907 there was a
panic in this country, and the cotton
crop OF the people Of the Southern
States saved the day. Now we people
OF the South want you to do some
thing for us and we are here to ask
for it. We get most OF our currency
at present from Richmond and we
are satisfied with things the way they
are and hope they won't be changed" "

dent Wilson stated that he considered
the appointments Of the federal re-

not be hasty in making them.
