There are scores of trappers now engaged in capturing muskrats for the fur market, but not one of them is having the success of Fred Perkins, says the Philadelphia American. This woodsman, who formerly lived in Vermont, says it is a poor day that does not bring him in 60 pelts, and there have been times when the catch reached eighty-five. Mr. Perkins attributes these reof disorder. The dog was killed and tional fact that he uses wildcats to catch muskrats. "It may not be generally under-! stood," said Mr. Perkins, "that the ( wildcat is the natural enemy of the muskrat and delights in killing for the pure sport of the thing, just as the common house cat finds pleasure in life kiling ordinary rats and mice.

Thompson, it is said, attempted to borrow money on a very handsome diamond ring from the lawyer and was told by the attorney that he was not in the pawn brokerage business Afterwards he returned with a proposition to sell the ring, which he said was worth $800. The lawyer took the stone to a local jeweler and w?s assured that its value was at least ^>600. Upon this he accepted Thompson's proposition to dispose of it for $400 and while he turned to his desk to write the check for the amount, it is supopsed Thompson substituted tne worthless ring for the real one, which he had jbeen fingering. When the purchaser presented his purchase to the jeweler to have it remounted he was informed that the stone was not genuine. It is said Thompson promptly had his check cashed and has disappeared.

C., Jan. 16.?To hold their products for 16.% cents on a basis of No. 10's, while cotton is selling in New York at 9% cents a pound, was the determination reached to-day at the annual meeting of the Southern Soft Yarn Spinners' Association.

Reports on all sides indicated more satisfactory business conditions in soft varns and the members are dis tinctly encouraged. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, J. P. JfcRae, Laurinburg, N. C.; first vice president, J. F. Taylor, Kinston, N. C.; second vice president, J. F. Cannon, Concord, N. C.; secretary and treasurer, Robert Chapman, McColl, S. C.

Ass Kicked Himself Dead. Another attempt to secure a wild ass for exhibition in this country has failed, says a New York dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. None has ever reached this country. The dead body of one of the animals, consigned to the Bronx Zoo, arrived on the steamer Mesaba. The ass had kicked itself to death. It was in good health and spirits when put on board the Mesaba, having cheered itself by kicking three porters and a longshoreman on the way to the docks in London. On Decemher 3, when . a storm arnsp. the wild ass did also. At mid night ofthat day the first officer sat luted the captain and^reported that the ship was in peril from the constant kicking. He thought the boilers were shifting, he said. As the ship rolled the asa fell down occar sionally, but never missed a kick. He kicked a hole in the rear of the stall, and then he turned around and kicked a hole in the front. Then he kicked holes through the two sides, and when his gallant spirit fled he was engaged in a vigorous effort to kick his way through three steel decks to the engine room and kick the boilers overboard.- The chief engineer believes he would have succeeded, too, ifc he had not been called home. The wild ass which figured in this deep sea narrative "had for some years made its home in the Londdn Zoo. Killed in Boiler Explosion.
