TWO SMART FOXES.
They Protected Their Homo by an In
genious Stratagem.

gentOus Stratagem.
1t is doubtful IL there is any other
animal in the world so cunning as the
fox. 1t certainly exercises reason,
since it provides against new contin.
gencies as fast as they arise. Here is
story which exhibits almost human
calculation.
A pair Of red foxes took UP their
home on a Dakota farm, on a knoll in
a wheat-feld, where they began to rear
four little foxes.
Every day, while narrowing and
sowing wheat in the field" says the
farmer, 81 saw the two old foxes lying
on the little mound in front Of their
home. The kits rolled about in the
sun, played with the bushy tails Of
their parents, and enjoyed themselves
apparently as much as group of kit
| tens.
Gone morning neighbor came
to work in field adjoining, bring
ing with him a dog, and the
dog, with all the curiosity of his
kind, soon began the investigation of
both farms. He was still a long dis
tance from the foX-den when | heard a
sharp, warning bark and saw the kits
disappear. AS l looked, the mother
fox lay on the mound her ears erect,
her nose on the ground, all attention,
The father of the family, with his big
tail swinging in the wind, trotted
toward the dog.
Can he intend to attack himP
wondered. / had never heard of such
thing, and the dog, though not a
large one, was still larger than the
fox. But reynard knew his business
better than l. He approached the in
truder until the dog saw him, when
both stopped for an instant, and then
the dog gave chase. The fox, with
bark OF defiance, turned and ran in
direction away from his home.
cat first the dog seemed to gain
rapidly upon the fox, but l watched
them for nearly a mile before they dis
appeared in the prairie grass, and con-
cluded that the fox was able to keep
out of the others way.
''ln about an hour the dog returned
from fruitless chase, and for a time
he contentedly followed his master.
Then he began prowling around again.
"All this time the mother-fox had
remained on the mound, a picture of
quiet vigilance; but now, as the dog
again ventured near, she rose and
trotted toward him, and the dog was
soon chasing her over the prairie.
Hardly had they disappeared when the
male trotted back from some hiding
place and took the position vacated by
his mate. The dog returned after
time, unsuccessful as before.
During the day he was again and
again tempted to chase, first by the
male and then by the female, and
while the one kept him busy, the other
watched over the young, who did not
show themselves after the first sight OF
the dog.
at is hard to say which we admired
most: the bravery of the pair in chal-
longing the dog to a race that would
have proved fatal had he caught them,
their ingenuity in taking turns, so that
each might be fresh when chased,
their skill in leading him away from
their young, or their cleverness in
throwing him off their track whe far
enough away. y."-Golden Days.

B. GRADED MOURNING,
The Kind of Grief That Inspires Very
Little sympathy.

Two columns of a fashion letter are
devoted to fashionable mourning" to
the minutia of texture, cut and finish
imperatively demanded of those who
mourn by milliner's chart. If this
sort of mourning were rare, such let
ters of description and advice would
never be written as business or paid
for by newspapers. To go into mourn
ing, to wear black clothes when some
one dies that we love, is as natural as
1.-THE tears we would hide behind thick
wells, but the grief that eXpends itself
in the niceties of mourning, in style
and etiquette, is grief that is COM
forted by the advertisement that it
makes for itself. Grief that is con-
cerned with the depth OF hem, width
of handkerchief border and the length
of time it must be adopted, is of that
quality which wins the envy of other
mourners and little sympathy from
amused observers.
Dress makers, when interviewed,
claim that mourners are their most
fastidious customers, as the sombre-
ness and unbecomingness of dead
black must be overcome by artistic
arrangements and ingenious adorn-
ment. The length of time that deep,
half and light mourning shall be worn
is nicely graded by conventional rule.
The husband heading the list, and the
time eXquisitely adjusted down to the
mother-in-law and the mother-in-law's
relatives; when mourning by the cal
ender is fully understood. how to do it,
and in what, is explained by card eti-
quette and fashion plates. AT certain
stages of sorrow we may admit certain
friends alone, with cut-jet and patent
leather slips. Later on mere acquaint-
ances may visit us, in the stage OF
"pale lavenders'' and soft dove
shades" While all mourners receive
due attention, the widow is the pivotal
strength of the mourning business.
The sanctity of her grief meets the
most obsequious Difference from silk
worm to the shopkeeper. She is even
told the width of her cap border, and
whether it is black, edged with white,
or pure white this season."
In this progressive age, marked par
ticularly by the emancipation of wo-
men into larger lives and higher am
billions, it is singular that fashionable
mourning" with its pretense and affec.
tations OF grief, mourning as pastime,
a diversion and fashion can be toler-
ated. That deadly fear of convention,
in which women have SO long been
trained, is the probable reason; fear
which puts thousands of women into
mourning who feel no grief or in
wardly rebel at the parade and show
ing over breaking heart. Washing

THE FARMERS BOY.

Oh tell me not OF city beaux,
Who strut about with dyed mustachos,
Who owe the tailor for the clothes
In which they cut their extra dashes.
The city fop ne'er will choose
To tread with me the path of life, sir.
And should he WOO, I'd e'er refuse;
I'd scorn TO be a dandy's wife, sir.
The farmer boy with ruddy face
Whose hand is brown with toll and tan sir,
Whose brow is wet with honest sweat
Is my ideal OF o man. sir
He knows his place, and feels disgrace
Is not attached to honest labor,
He is n blessing TO his race,
A goodly man, u kindly neighbor.
Ne'er sing to me OF city boys
Who walk the streets so very grandly,
Polite whone'er they meet the rich.
And bow and smile SO very blandly.
The lowly poor they never see,
And needy one whenever meeting
They coldly pass, It's not genteel
To have heart with kindness beating,
Then oh he farmers boy for mel
He holds communion sweet with nature;
He ronms the fields with joyous glee,
All blithe of limb and tall of stature.
For him the fairest blossoms bloom,
Upon the air their fragrance breathing;
For him shall maidens gather flowers,
Around his brow their garlands wreathing.
For him the brook goes laughing by
The ripping rill and murmuring river;
For him the stars bedeck the sky,
Their glory shining DER him ever.
For him the feathered songsters send
Their joyous music on the breezes;
Their notes harmonious ever blend,
To form lay his heart that pleases.
Then oh for me the farmers boy
The one in every truth most wealthy,
The man whose heart is light with Joy.
Whose ruddy face bespeaks him healthy.
The farmers boy whose wealth OF mind
Shows that he learns just what he can sir,
Whose heart is ever true and kind
Hes my ideal Of q man, sir.

The Democrats Of West Virginia
have determined to hold on to the Gov
orn0rsbip of the State, which they
usurped and have continued to hold
since the Presidential election. l.
will be remembered that G"ff. the Re
publican candidate for Governor, car
ried the State by majority of about
two hundred over his Democratic oppo
nent, but the officers. whose duty i,
was to dec are the res ult, lefus ed t. per
form their plain duty under TIE law.
This gave the old Governor pretext
for holding on to his office. under the
plea that no su:ces: OF Sas quail led to
take his place. The pretext for this
high handed proceeding at the time
Was that the vote of K;,nawha county
was informal In character, and hence
should be rejected, and it this were
done the Democrat would be elected.
This plea has since been set aside by
decision of the highest Court of thu
State. Now the ground of defense has
been shifted. and the plea is that the
Republicans colonized voters in several
counties, and on this pretext enough
Republican votes are to be thrown out
to elect the Democratic candidate. Of
course it is all fraud, but it will ena-
ble the Democratic party to hold on to
the Governorship for another year.
Col Ingersoll, when asked if it was
rue, as reported, that he had been en-
ployed to assist In prosecuting tue slay-
er of Judge Terry, replied that all the
gold of California, if offered to him
40 fee, would not induce him to take
the case. He thought the killing Of
Terry justifisble, under the circum-
stances. and we see it stated that Da-
vid Dudley Field, the distinguished
New York lawyer, and General Butler
have expressed like opinions. Looking
on the case from an unprofessional
stand point, We can not see how any
unprejudiced mind could arrive at any
other conclusion. Surely any man,
seeing Guiteau about to assail Presi.
dent Garfield. would have been justified
in shooting him dead on the spot.
Such case is not like an ordinary at
tack upon private individual. Great
public interests are At stake. In the
case of Justice Field, q desperate and
bloodthirsty man was engaged in car
rying out . long cherished and openly.
declared purpose Of executing private
vengeance upon him because of the
faithful performance of his duty as q
Judge Of the United States Court.
Such an attack, If it were merely to in
flict personal indignity, was an as
sault upon the whole body polite Of
the nation, and the person committing
the outrage was entitled to more con-
sideration than mad dog. And AMI
citizen who was spectator to the out.
rage, and were it within his power tc
do so, would hesitate to strike the das
tard dead In his tracks, would fail il
