GOOD MARKET FOR CAT FUR
Trappers Find a Demand for Almost Any Kind of Hide That Bears
 Eur.

Bar Harbor, Me.-Boys and men who make a business of trapping and hunting in this vicinity, and there are many such, are all smiles over the re- suits of their winters work.
 Last year the bottom was knocked out of the fur business by the Euro pean war. Prices were very low, and there was in consequence very little trapping done. This caused a short age of manufactured furs and also decided increase in the number of animals available this winter. Fur bearing animals, according to the woodsmen, were never so plentiful in this part of New England.
 Time was when only few kinds of animals were much sought for their pelts. With the increased demand, however, there Is hardly anything that wears fur, from the bear to the muskrat and rabbit, whose skin is not sought Even the humble house cat brings a price. The muskrat was formerly considered one of the poor est of all furs Now there is a steady demand for it, and it appears in the fur shops as American brook mink.
 Certain kinds of lamb belts sell as Iceland fox, certain kinds of dogskin are in high favor as Manchurian wolf and quantities of catskins are also offered under various names.
 Beaver, coon, mink, fox and weasel have no difficulty in finding a sale, and do not have to masquerade, as their fur is. sufficiently well known and prized in itself.

sMALL-ToWN BOY NOT GONE
He Plays the Same Old Franks and Has the Same Old Youthful
 Exuberance.

Not long ago a writer in a western exchange bewailed the passing of the true boy, the boy of natural impulses with a streak of old Adam, and a fine contempt for the minor ordinances, the Cleveland Plain Dealer remarks He was the boy who plotted and exc cuted mischief of the boyish type, who made himself nuisance, perhaps, to the community in which he ran wild, yet never mixed meanness with mis- chief. In short, he was the old-fash- toned boy, the embodiment of life and spirit and impishness. In his place, as the writer points out, we have the hulking street corner boy, who travels in gangs and becomes the bane of the police guardians.
 No doubt the author of this disser- tation had in mind the boy of the rural community, not the city boy, but the small-town boy. That type of boy Isn't found in the cities. They are too hampering for his soaring soul He needs room, he requires a tolerant community, he wants a congenial at- mosphere. It may be imagined that the author of the lamenting screed, having looked out through his urban window and noted no boy of the old fashioned type, believes he end his joy ous type have passed.
 The smalltown boy still exists, how ever. Every little while his boyish pranks provide material for the coun- try correspondent. He plays the same old tricks; he exhibits the same ola brand of boyish exuberance The oth- CT day he slipped into a Delaware church where revival service was in progress, and left half frozen hor- nets nest beside the stove When the hornets thawed out they organized an exploring expedition and the congrega- tion promptly endeavored to leave the edifice in a body.
 There is no use of worrying over the decline of the small-town boy. He hasn't declined.

HIDE MONEY
Most Travelled Places Chosen in
 Some Instances.
Fleeing Serbians Plant VaIuabIes ir Cemeteries and Most Unexpected PIaces-BuIgars Are Wild
 Beasts, Say FugitiVes.

Milan, Italy.-There is pathetic faith in the thousands of Serbian refugees who are pouring into Italy seeking work and bread.
 We shall be home again next April" they say simply; what is more, they believe it. Most have come without a cent. Their pos sessions they left at home hidden. You would be astonished to hear where they lie-away from the gaze of Bulgar or German. They tell you, in that simple way they have, of huge pieces of bacon they have buried un- derneath "middens." Their most pre- cious things money, for instance they have hidden away in the ceme- teries, between graves.
 "The Bulgars are afraid to touch the dead" they explain.
 In general, they fear the Bulgars more than they do the Germans.
 'The Germans are calculating; the Bulgars are wild beasts they say.
 All along that Calvary between Bel grade and Monastir are hidden the earthly possessions of these people money boxes, salted meat, barrels of sirup, coal and flour. They have chosen the beaten track on purpose, because the more freQuented a road is the less likely are the invaders to search the earth under it; and such hiding places are easily found-next April. With their peasants memo ries, they will remember the exact spot. They have not hidden single treasure under their homes or churches. Some have chosen the mid dle of the desolate market place, be- tween two trees or the very edge of the muddy, unpaved street, or near a horse pond, because all who enter that village or town will use that pond, and not one man will think to dig the trodden soil around it for hid den treasures, be it francs or flour. More often they chose open country, on their own little farms, in some ditch, marked by a big stone or on which the shadow falls first at sun- down.
 Now the snow has come and GOV cred 1t all up. But in April the snow will melt and we shall find our things again." they say with the quiet cheer fitness of the Slav.
 Many families have left some mem- Der behind to let the invaders sweep over them like waves of a tempestu- ous sea, leaving them where they found them And most of those who have stopped behind are women. The men will be wanted to rejoin that army that is gathering again in AL bania. Women keep the secret of this hidden treasure and may be trusted not to touch it till the family comes back And Serb leaves his wife be. hind in preference to his mother or daughter; the last two might be ill., treated by the enemy; but the wife, after twenty, Is like another man, fit for the camp and ready to fight, too. So, few of the Serbian refugees now in Italy have brought their wives.
 They are watching things at home, !" they tell you confidently.
 And the husband knows that the wife will set to and till the soil the moment it is free of the invader.

WOULD GO BACK TO PRISON
After Pardon, Aged Man Declares the Outside World Has Treated
 Him Badly.

Davenport, Ia--Gus Eisenberg, sev- enty-four years old, pardoned six months ago, after serving 2S years in Fort Madison penitentiary on a mur- der charge, has asked the local police to return him to the penitentiary.
 'Tm lost. I don't know where to go," he told the police. 'T want to re- turn to prison, for spent all of my life that was worth while there. War den Sanders was good to me and mo- body out in the world is. I want to go back to the only friend I have"
 The local police will probably ask the state board of pardons to revoke Eisenberg's pardon and return him to prison for the remainder of his life.
