q unique way. lie gave n birthday
party and invited 10 children.
Cobb Shinn was In ST. Louis ut the
time. and was asked to help entertain
the youngsters by drawing pictures OH
the large paper hats which were given
TO each child. He would draw what.
ever the children asked for, and the
subjects were many and various.
Finally u tive-year-old handed up his
hat and said:
II want u pig"
The drawing was started, when q
brother about a year older, spoke up /:
Jaw, he don't want q picture OF q
pig"-and the argument was on.
When the drawing was finished, the
~fve-yenr-old stuck out his chest and
boosted:
See, ! got what ] wanted -
"Yes, but just wait until ! get you

Fur Bearers Vanish.

The muskrat. formerly held In small
esteem, Is today recognized as the
most importar Of American fur-bear.
Ing animals. Its pelt. having become
fashionable, commands an ever-in-
creasing price.
Thereby the pursuit of the little
beast has been stimulated. with the
result that It's numbers nearly every.
where are rapidly diminishing.
Truppers in the state of Wisconsin
took more than S00.O00 muskrats In
1917, IN 1918 they took fewer than
10000. and In 1919 only about 100000.
