The Japanese believe in a species of fox
which. If it lives to DO so years old without
having been chased by dog, transforms itself
into a beautiful woman. This same fox, if it
lives 20 the age of 100 years, gains some new
powers. among which is that Of becoming a
wonderful wizard. When it reaches the age of
/ 600 years it becomes celestial fox with nine
golden olored tails, and has the power Of going

restaurant keeper, Of Detroit. makes a missJate-
ment, pure and simple, in the issue Of Dec. 3,
1901, regarding his oyerchargc at the National
Encampment. The fact is the bill Of fare was
quite fair for IL was marked 80 cents; but the
waiter laid down 50 cent checks and when
COggswells attention was called to the matter,
and the writer told him that he bad partakcn
Of the same food for 81 cents the day before, he
replied: " ! don't care a - what you paid
yesterday, it is 80 cents to-day, and you will
have to pay IT," Heidi return the dollar after he
saw that the writer was determined to wait al
night il necessary. lie gave Comrade Robin
son his 50 cents, bat the writer threw back his,
it was the principle that be was lighting for.
While waiting till justice was done, a comrade
from Texas, who was q little "jaggy," threw
down 50 cent piece with dollar check and
told COggsWelP5 partner that they were set Of
swindlers. and when the partner tried to bluff
the man from Texas, the latter told him thatif
he would so outside he would cut him into

was not the only trouble Mr.. COggswell had.

made, for which innocent parties
