Amusing Attempt of German Sol.

on the part of a private soldier 10
force the French to start something.
German officer, in peace times a
well-known opera singer in Frankfort.
had his company quartered near an
old French chateau l. northern
France. He was making a tour of in
spection when he discovered that one
of his sentries supposed to be on duty
outside the chateau was missing. Upon
inquiry he was told that this man had
left his post to go on scout duty and
learn if the village not far away was
occupied by the enemy.
THE man must be crazy" said the
officer. Only an insane man would
risk going across open country under
the fire 10 which he is exposed"
He hurriedly dispatched a cavalry
man on a fast horse to bring the SEN
try back. The horseman returned
with the man. who was member of
the Bavarian landwehr.
What made you do such a fool
hardy thing?" ASKED the opera singer
officer.
Herr Lieutenant. simply wanted
TO scout around and learn if it is oc-
cupied by the French md see If some
thing could be done to drive them
out
But who gave you such an order?"
An order? Nobody. Herr Lieuten-
ant. | simply did so on my own re-
sponsibility."
Don't you know that soldier
should only do what he is ordered?"
"Oh. yes. | know that. but. pardon
me. Herr Lieutenant. for saying so. in
this war there is now nothing happen
ing at all. In fact, 1t is no longer a
war unless man makes up his mind
to stir something on his own account"
The officers who were listening
could not restrain their laughter and
the impetuous infantryman was sent
back to his post without punishment.

BEAVER SOON TO BE SCARCE
Trappers Say New Michigan Law Will
Prevent Colonizing of the
Animals.

L'Anse, Mich.-Elizor Collins, one of
the most successful trappers in the
upper peninsula, and his partners.
Sherman Tissue and Joe Dakota. the
latter Chippewa Indian. have COM
pleted their winters trapping and the
packs of pelts they have brought in
to L'Anse remind one of the early days.
Mr.. Collins says that under the pres
ent law the beavers will soon be ex-
terminated
There is a general supposition that
beavers are hard to catch, but this Is
not true. Once a colony is located
they are easily trapped. even to the
last one. for they will not desert their
habitation in the winter time
One license of $40 permits the TAX
ing of Is beavers and a new license
can then be taken out. AS there are
only about. ten or fifteen beavers in
colony. one license is sufficient to
exterminate an entire colony.
