Many stories told of the crafty fox are
doubtless incidents of the imagination.
But recent writer tells an anecdote
which, though taxing belief, he says is
vouched for by an eye witness of the
affair. Some fishermen on the west
coast OF Ireland were in the habit of going
to small island, few hundred Yards
from the mainland, in quest OF bait. The
island was inhabited by large numbers OF
rabbits, and could be reached at low tide
by wadlng, the water there being only a
few inches deep. One morning they
went in their boat quite early, it being
high tide, and on landing saw a dead fox
lying on the beach. The fur OF the ami
was all Sedraggled, and he seemed to
have been drowned. One OF the men,
remarking that his skin might be worth
something, pitched him into the boat.
Procuring their bait they returned to the
mainland, and the man who had pos
sessed himself Of the fox seized him by
the tail and flung him on shore. AS
soon as the animal struck the beach he
picked himself up with considerable
agility for a dead fox and shot off up
among the cliffs like fash, while the
men stood staring at each other in mute
astonishment. The men concluded that
he had crossed over TO the island during
the night, when the tide was low, in
search of rabbits, and finding in the
morning that he was cut off from the
mainland counterfeited death, with the
expectation OF thereby procuring pas
sage TO the shore IN boat, an expecta.

A story on which lola could base a
novel has come to light from East Los
Angeles.
A German and his pretty wife some
two years ago moved into a neat little
cottage not far from the east end OF the
Downey avenue bridge. The wife is a
typical German blonde. light blue eyes,
milk white skin, and fluffy yellow hair.
The husband. in masculine way, pos
sesses the same traits. They have been
married five years, and recently it be-
came evident that an addition was to be
received in the family. The husband
was somewhat astonished, but was very
happy over the coming event, but the
wife was much worried, and at last
went to a young man of the neighbor-
hood, whom some neighbors had sus-
pected was on terms of too great
intimacy with her, and charged him
with being the cause of her condition.
He protested, but she insisted on his
being of financial assistance to her. He
is oive-skinned, black-eyed and haa
black hair.
"I'll tell you what I'll do" at last he
said. eff the child looks like me, I'll
give you $500.
The days went and the baby came,
and it was dark complexioned and had
black little eyes and tufts of black hair.
The husband is very much puzzled
about the affair, and charged his wife
with infidelity. She strenuously denied,
and the doctors have assured him that
the child's complexion was no proof
that he was not its father, and 80 he
remains in state of doubt, with con-
fused ideas about heredity and kindred
matters.
The wife. however, has failed to col
lect her $500, and has consulted law
yer, from whom HERALD reporter got
the story about commencing suit for the
amount. The attorney told her that il
she sued for the money her husband
would undoubtedly commence divorce
proceedings, and she went home to take
time to consider which she wanted
most-the money or her spouse.

Mr.. Barry, of lawn tennis fame, is

Officer II. K. Chase Joined the Los An
geles police department in December,
1888; He was 80 years old and native
of Medsord, Me. He came here about
six years ago from Lowell, Mass. The
deceased was model officer and was
held in high esteem by all who knew
him. He was a quiet, unassuming man
and always attended strictly to his BUSH
ness.
Officer Chase was a healthy, robust
appearing man and weighed about two
hundred pounds. None of his comrades
ever suspected that he was afflicted
with heart trouble, and his sudden
death cast quite gloom over the entire
police department.
The deceased leaves wife and one
child. He belonged to the Knights OF
Pythias. Coroner Weldon will hold an
inquest at 10 O'Clock this morning. The
funeral will take place on Tuesday.

MATTE WAS NOT MEASURED.
A Railroad Episode About a Girl
Agent,

A Railroad Episode About a Girl
Agent.
The Banning Herald prints a pretty
story about the marriage of girl tele-
grapher at that place and station
agent, and it adds the following Incl
dent:
Miss Matte was unfortunate in being
the only female agent ON the road. The
Southern Pacific decided some years ago
to uniform all it's agents, and the con-
tract for making the clothing was let to
those excellent tailors of San Bernar-
dino, the Cowie Bros. In order to eX-
pedite matters Ned Cowie sent the fol-
lowing telegram to all agents along the
line:
"Be on the platform when No. 10 passes, with
nothing on but your pants and shirt"
Cowie was thus enabled to measure
the candidates in short order and pass
on. When 10 pulled into Banning
Cowie Jumped off, looked around, and
said "Well, where's the agent?" A
stalwart youth, who happened to be
Miss Fakes brother, stepped up and
asked ii he was the man who sent the
agent telegram. Cowie answered in
the affirmative and the fellow started
in to climb him. 1t took half an hour
to explain matters to young Fake, but
everybody laughed so over the story
that the company decided to let its
country agents continue to wear over
alls.
We congratulate Miss Matte on her
marriage and will wager that che is boss
in her own household.

FAITHFUL PEDRO.
A PATHETIC STORY OF A DOGS
DEVOTION.
Not Being Able to Save His Master He
Perishes with Him. and Is Buried in
the Same Grave.

At the inquest held touching on the
death of. Shade DUNCAN, who perished
in the fire at San Pedro, Saturday after
noon, pathetic story developed. Dun
gan is an old man and cannot zee very
well. For number of years he has
acted as night Waterman. In former
years he was we'll off, but lost all his
property. Every body in San Pedro
knows the st. Bernard dog Pedro. He
was a general favorite. For five years
Pedro has been the constant attendant
of the old man. He followed him around
late at night and early in the morning.
Pedro could do almost anything but
talk. He would go home after the Ian
tern, and would carry it around with
him for hours if his master 80 ordered.
II the old man ever left anything on
his beat Pedro could be relied upon to
go after it, and was sure to bring it
back.
When the little cottage where DUNCAN
lived was all in flames, Pedro looked
around for his master. Not seeing the
old man, he rushed into the burning
uulluluS anu Iounu Ills lAdsCei oh Iue
bed. What the dog did to arouse his
master will never be known, but the
flames had no terror for the brave St.
Bernard He did not desert the man
who fed him in the hour OF peril, but
stayed alongside the bed and perished
with him.
The news OF Dungan's death sped
through the town in few minutes, and
quarter of an hour afterwards people
down in the gulch had raised $50 in
order to give the old Waterman decent
burial. The brave Pedro was not for
gotten. The grave was made few feet
longer, and the charred remains OF
faithful old Pedro were buried at the
feet of his master.
