As for man, ho appears to laugh at blm and his designs for trapping wild animals. He will pull a marten trap open and take out tbe bait, whether olive or dead; no will tear a pine mar ten or mink to pieces in no time and curry It off or drag tbo trap over some rough projection In order to spring It and moke off more often than not without having received as much as a scratch. But perhaps hjs cleverest trick, when be finds a trapper Is following his trail. Is to get behind tbo trapper and follow his, so that while tbo uncon scious trapper is walking after the flsber the fisher Is keeping completely out of danger by following the trap per. Many a useless mile has tho trapper walked In this manner, and many good baits has ho lost by the Very same shrewd, cunning animal he Is trying to trace nnd catch. Collier's Weekly. A Bad Habit.
