Natures Children
Fisher.
Mustela Pennanti.

There is little the fisher does not
relish in the line of food, from small
insects that act as appetizers to bear
meat and venison steaks, and as an
entree dead fish. Then, to top of a
hearty meal, beechnuts are added,
with a few fresh catnip leaves for
digestion.
After a long night Of hunting and
feasting, the sportsman creeps to his
hollow tree or log, and in this retreat
slumbers all day long. During the
Summer you may see him taking a
sunbath or afternoon nap. At this
time he is stretched full length on a
large limb of fir tree, often stretch
ing and yawning in deep luxury.
The fishers furry coat is highly
priced, and the trapper always receives
a good price for the pelt. 1t is not an
easy task to outwit this outlaw. He
seems to have studied the clever traps
and their bait, and learned that the
way to approach the contraption is
from the rear. Here, with a little
effort, he can set it off. consume the
bait or another victim, less intel
ligent than himself, and should be
able to chuckle over his ability to out
wit his human brother.
The one thing that conquers the
fisher is Imprisonment. Being a free
soul, and loving the wild places, he
grieves himself to a mere shadow in
captivity. His former fearless de-
meanor gone, a hopeless despair takes
possession of him and nothing can be
offered to him in place of his dearly
loved freedom.

dent prevention campaign, more than

The Green Forest was very lovely
now. Everything was covered with
snow. 1t hid all uglineSS. Brush piles
had become beautiful mounds of white.
1t was the same way with stumpS of
trees and rocks. All the Green Forest
was like fairyland. Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse had come out from under

home was. You know, it was also

foot was sitting just outside the wind
fall. He was trying to make up his
mind if it would be wise to go over to
a certain tree in which he had once
lived. There was an old Woodpecker's
hole there that Whitefoot had once
built his home in. He hadn't visited
it for some time and he wondered If
his old nest was still there.
He was Just about to start when he
thought he saw something move just
a little way off He watched that spot.
He decided he had been mistaken.
He saw nothing there but little black
spot on the snow which might be bit
of bark or bit of a twig that had
fallen. He was just about to turn his
head to look elsewhere to see If the
way was clear when that black spot
waved. There was no doubt about 1t.
1t was still moving. Whitefoot stared.
Then he shuddered. Yes, sir, he shud-
dered. You know, to shudder is to

cold. No indeed. 1t was fright. You

little moving black spot. 1t was as II

Whitefoot knew that he was looking
at Shadow the Weasel, who, in his
Winter coat, is often called Ermlne.
He knew now that the black spot
that he had seen moving was the
end of Shadows tail. That remains
black while all the rest of Shadow

CAFETERIA FOODS
LIKELY AT PRISON
Would Assure Prisoners
Better Meals and Would
Result in Saving.
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
Ia The Sir Waller Hotel,
> L. M

Raleigh, Jan. 1.-THE cafeteria plan
Of serving meals to prisoners may be
adopted in all prison camps. and per
haps even in the Central Prison here.
Acting Director Oscar T. Pitts, Of the
prison division, said here today. In
a conference with district prison sup
ervisors Friday it was decided to OK
pertinent with the cafeteria style Of
serving meals in one prison camp in
each district. If these experiments
prove successful-and Pitts is conf
dent they will-the plan will be insti-
tuted in all of the prison units, he said
All of the district prison supervisors
believe the cafeteria plan will prove
much more satisfactory than the pre-
sent table service system.
"The first thing to recommend the
cafeteria service plan for the prison
camps is that the prisoners can be as
sured of hot food, direct from the kit
chcns. also that they will be able to
get as much as they want or think
they can eat with the first helping"
Pitts said. "This style of serving
meals has been used by the army sue
cessfully for years. In fact, no other
plan could be used in the army
Another advantage is that it will
require less time and less help in the
kitchens and mess halls, since it will
not be necessary to use the number of
prisoners now used as walters It will
also be more economical, since left
over food can be saved and used
again by the stewards But the prin-
cipal advantage, in our opinion, is that
It will assure the prisoners of hot
tasty food and permit them to have
as much of this food as they may de-
sire This in turn will improve the
morale of the prisoners and the
amount of work we will get from
hem since it is impossible to have
good morale and get efficient work
rom prisoners unless they are given
plenty of good, well-prepared, whole
some food"
Director Pitts and the district sup
ervisors believe the prisoners will pre-
fer the cafeteria plan Of serving meals
to the present system.
