Dear Mr. Menefee:
l was quite interested in an ar
ticle appearing in a recent issue
of the Villas County News, taken
from the Superior Telegram, in
which the writer of the article
set forth in glowing terms the
practicability of beaver farming
and other comments concerning
these cunning animals in general,
but he made it appear that the
beaver is only to be considered as
useful animal, and to use his
own phrase they make the life
less places TEEN with activity.
1t is to be admitted that the
beaver is an interesting creature,
and it's habits and activities are
still more interesting, but outside
Of the fact that the beaver are
fur-bearing animals and make
the lifeless places TEEN with activ-
ity" they are utterly useless, and
do more damage than they do
good.
A few years ago the Wisconsin
Conservation Commission saw fit
to introduce a few OF these ami
mails into this region and forth
with turned a number of them
lose in the vicinity of Trout lake,
where there are numerous streams
running into the lake, one a well
known trout stream which origin
ates in a series Of trout springs
north of the lake. Before the
be aver were planted in this
stream, there was wonderful trout
fishing, not only III the stream,
but also in the springs where it
derived it's source. Numerous fish
ermen from different parts of the
Northern country came to cast
their lines in these waters, and
were usually rewarded with good
catches of speckled trout. How
ever, this happened prior to the
advent of the beaver.
In the past three years, fishing
in this trout stream and the
springs has been utterly out of the
question, owing to the fact that
the beaver, multiplied fve-fold OF
more from their original number
have constructed numerous large
dams up and down this stream

Professor Shaw of New York
university warns men to avoid
Knockers or democracy will go to
the bow-wows.
His logic is that man may
wear knickers with propriety on
the golf links or while hunting,
but that they are taboo any other
time; that if a man puts on over
alls, he is dressed for labor; if he
dons a sack suit, he means bust
ness, and if he appears in abbrevi-
ated breeches, it is evident he
means to play or pose.
However true this may be, dem
ocracy is not in any grave danger
of extinction by the knickerbocher
fad.
It might seem serious in New
York City, where those who play
and pose are prominent but, out
in the wilds of America outside of
New York, we have nothing to
fear.
If a man has plump legs and a
nice assortment of stockings of
many hues, and enjoys wearing
short breeches, let him wear them.
He doesn't do it long out in the
open spaces"
If our ideals of government are
not deeply enough grounded to
withstand the knicker fad, then
we deserve to go back to the age
of class distinctions when a man
who worked was not regarded a
gentleman.-Ex.

The Health Championship.

A fat-footed and pimple-faced
boy were selected as the healthiest
girl and boy in America at the
international Livestock Exposition
in Chicago.
They did not win because of
their fiat feet and their pimples,
or the swollen thyroid gland the
girl had or the discolored tooth or
coated tongue the boys examina-
ton disclosed.
They won in spite of these de-
fects-don't forget that.
The fact that boy and girl
with these physical handicaps won
the health championship" was
printed in newspapers throughout
the length and breadth of the
land, and it will have a bad effect
on those who do not stop to think.
When am an or woman lives to
an extraordinary age, the press
generally brings out that they
smoked a pipe or had some other
habit that is not conducive to
longevity
Those who "leap" to quick con-
illusions Immediately infer that
the pipe or the bad habit pro-
longed their life.
And fiat feet, swollen thyroid
glands, pimples, coated tongues
and discolored teeth should not be
emphasized too much because they
are the outward manifestations Of
lack of care of the body, failure
to observe healthful habits or an
inherited Meakness.=Ex.

The Roman Emperor Nero never

to put themselves out of his way.
A man with a death warrant in
his hand would go to the public

skilled physician to open the veins
in his arms. While bleeding slowly

death, he would converse cheer
fully with his friends.

Here and There.

The Cinnamon have the LATEST
way of fishing. They fish with
trained cormorants. They put
iron collars on the big black birds,
and send them out. The cormor-
ants catch the fish, but can't swal-
low them. So they fly back to
their masters, who take the fish.
Once in while the birds are given
one of the fish they have caught.
This keeps them coming back.
When they bring in fish and it
is taken away from them, instead
of giving the Chinaman a stiff
poke on the jaw and taking the
fish back, the silly birds hurry
back to the water to get another.
Cormorants, the birds used by
the Cinnamon for fishing are very
numerous in America. They mi
CRATE with the ducks in spring and
fall. They move in great flights,
some of their hocks being two or
three miles long. ! have seen as
many as eight thousand in one
flight They are dead black,
smaller than a goose but larger
than a mallard duck. They fly in
the most perfect V formation of
any waterfowl, their formations
at times being almost geometric-
ally perfect. They can be distin-
guished from ducks or geese in
the air by the way in which they
set their wings and sail from time
to time. They are scavengers and
fish eaters, and are worthless as
food.
Forest rangers in some of the
national forests have taken steps
to find lost hunters by the same
system they use in finding forest
fires. During the deer hunting
season they stand watch on their
towers every night, thus survey
ing great stretches of country.
The hunters when they enter the
woods are told to build bonfire
at night if they get lost. The
rangers spot these fires and the
next day go out to the. place and
bring in the hunter.
Turtles are one of the deadliest
foes to young wild ducks. The
turtles swim up under the little
ducks, grab them by a Leg. and
yank them under. They kill thous-
ands this way each year. Once in
while turtle will take healthy
bite out of the breast of a full
grown duck. Big pike are another
underwater enemy. They operate
just as the turtles do; sneak up
under the young duck, drag him
under and swallow him.
