Motor Matt's Daring Rescue; or, The Strange Case of Helen Brady

TIP FOR RABBIT HUNTERS.
A West Duluth man says he has the newest and best way to catch rabbits.He finds a creek running through a swamp and follows it until he comesto a place where the rabbit tracks are thick. Then he scrapes the snowoff a large surface of the ice and piles bark and wood in the middle ofthe space. In the evening just after dark he lights the fire and leavesthe spot. In the morning he comes back with a pack sack and picks upthe rabbits.
How does he get them?
It is this way: When the rabbits see the fire they get curious and goout on the ice. They sit around gazing at the flames until the firegoes out, never noticing that the surface of the ice has melted, andafter the heat subsides they find they are frozen to the ice and unableto move. The man comes around with a club in the morning and kills therabbits.

ADVENTURES OF A BOY GENIUS
MOTOR STORIES
Most five-cent weeklies are founded upon the adventures of boy wonderswho perform all sorts of impossible feats and who never act or talk asa boy really does. This is displeasing to the intelligent boy of thepresent day, who is better educated, and who, consequently, demandsmore logical reading than the old-time boy did.
The boys who want to learn something from what they read, as wellas to be interested by it, will never find another publication thatwill satisfy them so well as MOTOR STORIES. "Motor Matt" is not animpossible boy character. He is simply a youth who has had considerabletraining in a machine shop where motors of all kinds were repaired,and who is possessed of a genius for mechanics. His sense of right andwrong is strongly developed, and his endeavors to insure certain peoplea square deal lead him into a series of the most astonishing, but atthe same time the most natural, adventures that ever befell a boy.
Buy the current number from your newsdealer. We feel sure that youwill be just as enthusiastic about it as the fifty thousand other boysthroughout the United States have become.
