Tie Fox Fciyncd Death.

There is one man in this great state whose
superiority in his peculiar line of effort is
never disputcd-and that's Dan Cannon, of
Canton, the celebrated teller of fox stories.
There lives not in all Muino Il person having
sufficient llar,iihood to match himself against
Dan Cannon in this art.
Boys" says Dan, II WIZ out huntin' a fox
on old Canton Maountin one day. | heard
my laound or bayin' down OH the west side
NV the maountin, and [ knew he wuz chasin'
| WIZ the fox would circle raoind thar binne

waited. The haound KEEP circlin' nearer and
nearer and afore long | SEQ the fox runnin'
up tho maountin right straight fur me. |
waited till he got up to within fifty yards and
thcn aimed my gun over tho wall.
swell, boys, aforo | could fire | sec thai
fox tumble right over, heels in the air. He
laid thar cz stiff as Il corpse. For, boys, he
wuz a corpse. went up to him and he wuz
stone dead. How'd no die! Why, he sec me
and knew it wuz Dan Cannon pintin' his
old gun at him and he wuz skairt to death.
Yes, boys, actually sislirt ter death!
"Well, | peeled his hide off and left tho
carcass thar. | hadn't Sono mcrc'n 200 yards
away when | happened ter LOOK back and see
that fox runnin' as tight as he could jump,
without lis clothes onl Tho darncl critter

Where Woman Has a Grin.

Typewritins is peculiarly woman work.
Fully 70 per cent. of the operators are of this
Sex. Tho reasons assigned for thisare varied.
attribute the feet to the greater dcx-
terity OF feminine fingers and others to their
greater chcapness. Ncatness is also assigned
as a reason for employing women AS the
pay for typewriting operators who arc also
stenographers averages about sl2 per week,
it will be seen that chcapness is not tho least
important element in giving preference to
tho femalc operators. Quitea number of the
young women get as high as saa5 per week,
but they are exceptionally quick operators.
The number who receive from s. to 81 a
week is much greater.-Chicago Tribune.
