Like the "Pled Piper of Ham- elm," be planned t oherd bis cap tives in a large pen. First, he built many special box traps In which to catch the animals without maiming them. Next, he con structed a house of detention, from which the skunks would be unable to escape by burrowing out. Piling his traps upon an old lumber wagon and taking all of the old clothes which he could collect In the nlgbborbood, ha departed on the hunt. For several weeks he camped out, setting hie traps on the outskirts of farms where skunks were known to abound. So skillful did he become thathe was soon digging up whole families of skunks, sometimes gath ering from six to eight In one haul. At the end of each week unbobbllng the old horse which his father had given him, he carried home the ca- (From Our Regular Correspondent) ge s containing bla captives.

In connection with his Interview on the subject of rinances, Mr. Smith saya: "I wish to ask consideration by the public and especially by the legisla tors of measures which may come before the legislature next summer. My desire Is to obtain that criticism which will aid In securing wise action. There are other measures especially pertaining to rural schools and agri cultural progress which I will sub mit later on. I ask fpr co-operation . free from partisan bias that may ac complish the greater possible service for tbe people of the state.” VAS POPULAR VOTE ON SENATORS UP IN TIIE U. S.
