Annabel had many friends among
men. -"What cant it is to say friend
ship between man and woman ia im
possible!" she would cry, with flash
ing eyes. "What degrading cantr
with a flushing cheek. She liked
the society of men. They gave her
a new outlook on life. She would
enjoy it if they confided their love
affairs to her. , So she said. Some
how they had not as yet given her
mat enjoyment, ahe was twenty
two, with a piquant face and figure
ana a man 01 tne world style of con
versation that half, veiled an un
fathomable innocence.
'TJ.' . . . .
ii. was a uot evening early in
June, and one of Annabel's friends
had dropped They were sitting
logeiner in tne miniature veranda,
discussing a subject they had often
oiecussea oeiore.
S"One comfort about my man to
man style of friendship," said An
nabel, "one great comfort, is that
one neednt be eternally bothering
about one's looks and that sort of
thing when one wants to have a ra
tional conversation. I don't know
anything more aggravating than to
talk one's best talk to a man, as I
did out at dinner the other day, and
to find him obviously speculating
as to: whether one's hair's all one's
own. '. Now, I don't think you or
any other of my special chums
would even notice if 1 wore a sack
when you came to see me. That's so
refreshing."
"It is,'! said the friendf "For in
stance, some girls would be dread
fully put out if their shoe had a lit
tle hole in it, just at the tip, when a
man was there. But you"
"Where ?" And Annabel jumped
off her lounge clTair with one bound
and passed her pretty feet under
agonized inspection. For one with
whom appearance was "no object"
she was wonderfully shod.
"I'm so sorry," said her friend,
"i didn't mean to imply that you
had a hole in your shoe; only that
if yon had it wouldn t trouble you
in the least."
- "But it would," said Annabel,
with dignity. "I never said one
would care to exhibit slovenliness to
one's friends, and a hole would be
slovenly."
He smoked in silence.
."How do you define a man's
friendship for -a woman?" he in
quired after the pause had lasted a
Jong while,
f Annabel took her time before an
swering. '.
L'l think," she replied at last orath
er lowly, "it means havingfher in
terests at heart so much that they
could never bore you so that her
pain or happiness would always be (
to ypu almost more man your own.
Ton would never hear her lightly
rinoken of. You would save her all
von could. r You would let nothing
of hers .be injured. Where you
nild vou would nut velvet between
her and the rough things, of the
World, as Carlyle said."
. "Yea. but he SDoke oMiia wife.'
- Annabel did not seem to hear the
words. v She was looking over -the
roofs, the appallingly uniform roois
of West Kensington, to wnere
golden -haze hung in' the sky and
wonderful dream music was being
played and then blown into the bal-M

He hummed the words with a

CATCHING RED FOXES.

' which he learned when a bov in Ver-
mont and haf successfully used for
. ..
: the last twenty years,
Fox skins or pelts bring a good
price, and from the beginning of
cool weather in October throughout
the winter the hides are in fine con
dition. Steel traps, bait and many
different things are used by different
trappers in catching foxes, but this
old trapper's "secret" stands at the
top; ; . . ..: . - ' ,:
His manner of procedure when
after the little "red dogs is some
what as follows: In a part of the
woods which is known to be inhabit
ed by foxes and they can be found
in nearly all sections of Maine this
trapper, with a steel trap, some cat
meat, if it can 4 be procured and
some skunk musk, proceeds to set
his snares. Cat meat ma kes the
best bait, but other meat a piece
oi ocei will ao.
Going up a brook, wading with
rubber boots, sd that no scent will
be left, he makes a small drain or
canal from the brook into which
the water will -flow. ' This little
csnal is slwsys dug out with a stick,
so that the hands do not come into
contact with the earth, and no smell
of a human being is left. v A small
stock is then set upright in the mid-
die of the stream or little canal,
the 'point being an inch or so under
the water, and the bait is put on
that, so that it looks as if resting
on the water. As- tins necessarily
has io be handled, a small amount
of skunk musk is put on it so that
no scent is left
The steel trap is then sunk un
der water where the canal, or if it
is the brook proper, is but w few
inches deep. : On the plate of the
,trap, where an animal has to step
to be caught, is put a small sod,
which lies half in and balf out of
the water, as if it were a small is
land." This is but a few inches from
the bait on the stick.
The result is plainly seen. .No
animal will wet its feet if there is
dry land to step on, and Sir Rey
nard, coming afterwthe-meat resting
bo lempiingiy on mo waier, aiepe
on the little island or mound to get
it and is lost
..A trap of this kind is never fas
tened down, as an animal will tear
itself loose oftentimes if securely
held., A fair sized stick is attached
by a rope or chain to the trap, and
the fox cannot drag it far, aa it
catches on all'of the.trees, bushes
or whatever is in the way. Bangor

ditches bsve sufficient capacity to ban

grades snd free outlets to tbe natural
water eouraes Intersecting tbe roada. It
may be necessary, to improve these wa
ter courses for some distance outside
the road allowance to prevent backwa
ter. ' When necessary this requirement
shoald not be Deflected. -
Such ditches shoald be located along
tbe aide of tbe road from which tbe
most water comes, so ss to prevent as
much water ss possible from soaking
Into tbe roadbed. Large open ditches
may be placed between tbe regular gut
ters sod the cue line, with occasional
openings throng b tbe shoulders be
tween tbe gutters snd tbe main ditches.
when large deep dltcbes are located
alongside the roadbed they should be
protected by suitable guard rails.
All springy places snd most day
roads will be Improved by under-
drains. To be of tbe saost value their
trenches shoald be filled with eiDders,
coarse grave! or broken stone Bp -to tbe

two to three feet deep parallel to tbe
center line ef tbe road and frocn eight
to tea feet distant on either side will be

On springy bills tbe drain, shoald
run disgooaliy from tbe center te either

three feet mors tbsa would be possible

of tbe road, having tbe trench filled

tbe same purpose. -
Clay roads shoald be kept wea

' 'Whit is "artificial" and what ia
"unitationr .
! People speak of an artificial bird,
an artificial palm, imitation leather,
and so on.
; Now, a man who makes a bird or
a palm makes only an imitation of
those objects.
Av true artificial bird would be
alive to ting and fly. A trot arti
ficial palm would be able to grow.
Both of these things if they were
truly artificial would be exactly like
the Uring originals; indeed, they
would be alive.
. Consequently It is entirely incor
rect to speak of copies of living
things aa being artificial unless
somebody should succeed soma day
in really creating a living thing.
Diamonds can be made and havt
been made. It ia correct to speak
of them as artificial because they
art real diamonds, identical in all
respects with those found In the
diamond fields. "

at the end of the first minute there

A sorter employed at the post of

other evening in his "diggings"
looking very rueful indeed.
"I'm in frightful hole," he said,
fl went to see two doctors yesterday
and got a medical certificate from
each. One wss s certificate of health
for a life insurance ' and
the other waa a certificate of illness
to send to tbe chief with my peti

"IVt often done that myself,'
said his friend. "What's the mat

"Matter! Why, I mixed the cer

ache and gives the gum and lips an
attractive color." A boot at nroen
aa can be placed oat the point of a
knife should be rubbed gently into
the interstices of the teeth on going
to bed, to bo rinsed out thoroughly
in the morning. Tbe objection to
charcoal ia its grittiness, nasi it
must be reduced as neaily as possi
ble to an impalpable powder. Its
purifying qualities art inralawbl,
and it ia said if taken mwardfr it
will cure indigestion.
