Every trapper from Hudson's bay to the country of the Athabasca knew that after the Big Storm the famished fur animals would be and that traps and deadfalls properly set and baited stood the biggest chance of the year of being filled Some of them set out over thelr trap lines on the sixth day; on seventh, and others on the eighth.

He visited five traps before dark, and ate the five balts without springing a pan. Then he went on Into a warm balsam swamp and found himself a bed for the night.

He followed In the factor's snowshoe tracks, and In the third trap killed a rabbit.

He was not unacquainted with four-footed robbers of the trap-line, but usually a wolf or a fox or a dog who had grown adept In thievery troubled only a few traps. But ip this case Daree was travelling straight from trap to trap, and his footprints In the snow showed that he stopped at each. There was, to McTaggart, almost a human devllishness to his work.

Probably more has been sald and written about money than any other subject under the sun. Fielding, whe spoke with the authority of a magls- trate, once commented that “money is the fruit of evil as often as the root of it.” Doctor Johnson sald, “Money, in whatever hands, will confer power.” In “The Way of All Flesh,” Samuel Butler wrote that “money Is like a reputation for ability—more easily made than kept” His modern discl ple, G. Bernard Shaw, goes farther and says, “Any fool can save money; it takes a wise man to spend it.” Ba. con wrote, “Money 1s like manure; of little use unless it be spread” A quotation from Horace reads, “Money amassed either serves or rules us.” John Stuart Mill, In his monumental work, “The Principles of Political Economy,” points out that furs, cow rie shelly and even cubes of com pressed tea have been used in various places as money. that “money is a commodity and fits value ls determined, like other come modities, temporarily by demand and age by cost of production.” complete without quoting an Amer! can. It seems typleal of the American mind always to couple money with work--they rarely refer to the one without the other. Thus John D. Rockefeller: “1 determined that, In addition to working for money, I would make money work for me."-John o' London's Weekly, New Distinction. A friend of ours sald that he in tended to reversed the old saying and bring his son up to be heard, but not seen. He wants the boy to be a radio announcer.~The Outlook, Program for Fall Garment to Be Well Below Knee; Drapes, Panels Below Hemline. Now that every woman has over- hauled her wardrobe and found out that all the short dresses she wore last summer are at least a generous hem longer than the present mode, It 1s time to think about the fall skirt length. Truth to tell, writes a fash- ion correspondent In the Kansas City Btar, really 1s surprised to don a dress of last year's vintage and find it ridiculously long. All this brings one to the truth of the matter: the mode Includes the long skirt of the period frock, the uneven skirt length shorter In the front than in the back, and the really short skirt; In fact, a skirt must be short to keep its {identity in this day of many skirt lengths, With fashlon’'s love of change, new skirt length Is predicted well be- low the knee; drapes and panels fall below the hemline, simulating a longer skirt, thereby gracefully gliding from one the a murked change from season to sea- gon.
