Muskrats. ilare old t'aplain John Smith in liis quaint "History of New England and the Summer Isles," published in Lon don In 16"l gives probably the first written account of the maskrat. tie says tlisit "the mussacus ts a beast of the form and nature of our (English! water rat" and adds that "some of theui smell exceedingly strong of musk." These \iuhnals may be cauglxt in almost any sort of trait baited with sweet apples or parsnips. Musk rats have very strong teeth and can use them on wood effectively, so it is wise to protect all corners and cracks in your wooden traps with pieces of tin or sheet iron. They have good noses aiivi can smell an apple a long distance off. Place your traps in the shallow water at the «idge of the mill poud or stream inliabiud by these rats, and they will doubtless find it without difficulty. Young muskrats are very gentle and playful and may be handled Without fear. They do not grow fierce with age if reared In captivity and ac customed to geatle treatment. Gambling. The supremo objection to gambling ir» all Its forms, . hither in sport or in speculative btisi r -s. is that it works harm and loss t> - iciety. As soon as any practice or conduct is found to be socially hurtful ii thereby becomes wrong, whatever men may have thought of it before. Does not all mol ality rise to consciousness through the fact of social advantage or injury? Now the long and costly experience of mankind hears uniform testimony against gambling till at last the ver dict of civilization has become as near ly unanimous as human judgment can be that it is an intolerable nuisance. It is a dangerous or unsocial form of excitement. It hurts character, demor alizes industry, breeds quarrels, tempts men to self destruction, and it works special Injustice to women and chil dren. We may not know precisely why morphine preys upon th" nervous sys tem and iias to bo labeled "poisonous." The fact is the main consideration. So with the stimulus or excitation of gambling. Grant that I profess my self willing to pay for my fun. The fun is degrading. like the prize fight or bear baiting.—-Charles F. Dole in Atlantic. Waltz Is Not Modern. Many people labor under the Im pression that the waltz is of modern origin, owing to the fact that it was comparatively unknown in America or in England until the early part of the nineteenth century. But it was brought originally from Provence to the court of Henry 11. of France, at Fontaine bleati, by the Comte de Saulte. Mary, queen of Scots, imported it into Scot land, for history records her as hav ing Incurred ihe bitter wrath and fierce denunciation of John Knox and of oth er divines of the "land of cakes" for dancing it on one memorable occasion at the palace of Holy rood. Toward the end of the seventeenth century it was danced throughout southern Ger many and Austria, the celebrated waltz tune and popular song, "<>, Im Lieber August in," dating from 1 *>7o. But, as already stated, it was'not until the first two decades of the nineteenth century that it made its first appearance in England and the United States, when it was alternately denounced and laud ed by the poets of the epoch. A Dog Story. A Columbus man who likes to hunt quail, who is handy with the giin and has a fine bird dog whose work as a retriever is remarkable loaned him to a friend who was only an amateur at the business. About the middle of the forenoon of the first day the dog re | turned to his master's home. The lat j ter, not knowing what had happened, [ took his gun In the afternoon to try i the dog. He worked all right, and a j number of birds were secured. The next day he met the friend who had j borrowed the dog. "What is the mat ter with that dog?" he asked. "We j got up a covey of quail and shot at j them, but missed. We afterward got j up a number of the scattered birds and took a dozen shots or more, but | got nothing, and the dog put his tail 1 between his legs and struck across the fields in the direction of his home." It is evident that the dog, disgusted I at the poor shooting, decided that the [ men with the guns were not in his j class and decided to cut It out.—Co < lumbus (O.) Dispatcl). CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY i 6, 1908. BUFFALO TIMBER CO. IS INTERESTED All Unlocated Provincial Timber Lands in British Columbia are Reserved. The following telegram from Brad ford to Buffalo Times will interest many Cameron county investors. The Buffalo Timber Co., of which Mr. E. V. Dunlevie, formerly of this county, is President, has largo holdings. The Bradford telegram says: The many Bradford people who have timber holdings in British Columbia ! will be happily surprised to learn that a new act putting all British Columbia timber lands under reserve has been signed by the lieutenant-governor, and as a resuit the value of their holdings will be doubled. A special dispatch from Victoria to the Daily News- I Advertiser of Vancouver says: An order in council was supported I by his honor, the lieutenant-governor, yesterday, stating that "from and after the date hereof, all lands in the prov- i ince of British Columbia not lawfully | held by pre-emption, purchase, lease or j crown grant, shall be reserved from j alienation under the land act by way of timber license." The effect of this j is to withdraw all timber land from being open to be taken up by timber ! licenses. S. A. Mundy, of the Mundy Lumber Company has received the following telegram from G. S. McCarter, a well- j known attorney of Ravelstoke, B. C , which explains the effect on the pres- j ent holdings in the province: "All j unlocated provincial timber lands re served. The effects will undoubtedly double the value of existing licenses " The Buffalo Timber Company, of Buffalo, N. Y., owr.s a big tract of timber in that section of British Columbia." Honor Roll. The following is the honor roll of the j Sizerville school: Maria Villilla, Lena j Agliardo, Margaret Sprung, Henry j Victory, Margaret Kozaman, Harry j Victory, Franklin Aldeu, Willie Kep- j hart, Ralph Edwards, Louie Villilla, j Earl Montgomery.

It makes for health and pleasurer and stimulates vitality. For the extended trip, Southern California, the fruit and flour land of the Pacific Coast, oflers unrivaled attrac tractions. For the fortnight's trip, Florida, the Summer garden of the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial sunshine, its tropical scenes and its out-door life. For the ten days' outing, Pinehurst, Camden, Aiken, Augusta, Southern Pines and other popular re sorts in the pine belt of the Carolinas and Georgia offer many inducements. For the short trip—the week-end outing—Atlantic City is always attractive. The same breezes that depress the thermometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter. It offers great hotels ou the ocean's edge, out-of-door life on land and serf and a climate full of snap but shorn of the winter severity. Before deciding on your midwinter outing consult a Pennsylyania Railroad Ticket Agent and get a Pennsylva nia Railroad Excursion Hook. Whether you select Cali fornia, Florida, the Carolinas, or Atlantic City, the Penn sylvania Railroad offers a comprehensive train service, rea sonable rates and ticketing arrangements, and the best fa cilities that modern transportation methods can provide. 46-2 Ann vru; , , N ,r rm «??
