An Astonished Fox.

A gentleman in Meaford, Ontario,
told me that when boy at home he
used to be greatly amused with the
hunting stories Of an old man called
Nehemiah, or 'Miah, writes Marshall
Saunders, in Good News.
'Miah would come to the house,
take up his station in the kitchen,
then the children of the family would
gather round him for a tale of the
woods. 'Miah was good mimic, and
would accompany his stories with
appropriate gestures. Upon one
occasion he told the boys that he
went into the woods, not with his
gun, but with hands in his pockets,
just strolling about for lark. There
was light snow on the ground, and
he soon came upon the recent tracks
Of fox. Near by was an uprooted
tree, it's roots stuck up high In air.
'Miah crept (and he dropped down on
the kitchen floor, and showed the
boys how he VENT behind the roots,
and began to chirp and squeak like a
mouse.
Now nice, plump, young mouse is

by 'Miah saw Mr.. Fox coming back.
'Miah showed the children how the
fox came, trotting nimbly along, then
stopping to listen, turning his head
wisely from side to side, and holding
up one paw. To see 'Miah on hands
and knees, going across the kitchen
and snuffing the air, always convulsed
the children. He would be fox and
mouse alternately. The mouse would
squeak, the fox would advance. Fin
ally Mr.. Fox crept lightly up to the
tree trunk and looked. Probably his
mouth was opened to receive the
mouse, when'Miah opened his mouth
aud sprahg up with terrific yell.
The astounded fox fell over and over
on the ground as If he were shot.
'Miah always vowed that it took the
fox several seconds to recover himself
enough to run away.
And then he looked so sheepish. A
trick had been played on him! 'Miah
sat on the ground and laughed and

THE essence of successful business
is regularity of dealing. Without
this important element, chaos is GER
tain to reign supreme, as indeed we
often see demonstrated in the COM
mercial affairs of liquidating debt
or, who, on being called to account
by some dissatisfied creditor, replies
that he has not had time to do GER
tain things in connection with his
business. But what such man
lacked was proper appreciation OF
the economy of time. He either gave
too much time to Incidence and
trifes or was reprehensibly careless
OF the Importance Of the time of
other people.

GEORGIA STILL DEMOCRATIC.
Leaders Claim to Have Carried the Stat

Leaders Claim to Have Carried the State
by 10000 to 10000 Majority.
; Georgia has elected Governor, State
officers, and full General Assembly.
For Governor and State officers there
there were two full tickets in the field,
one of which was the straight Demo-
cratic ticket and the other the Peoples
party ticket. The Republicans nomi-
mated no State ticket, contenting them
selves with placing a national electoral
ticket in the field.
An Associated Press dispatch says
that Gov. Northen and the whole DEM
ocratlc ticket is elected by a majority OF
not less than 40 900, and the reports to
come may even run it up to $4,000. In
Fulton County, for instance, the pre-
cincts return such figures as 5S for
Northen to IL for Peek, 81 to 13, So to 5,
and so on. Col. Peek's own home gives
a majority OF to for Northen. Marion
County, the home OF the Peoples party
candidate for Secretary of State, gives
1000 majority for the Democrats. In
about sixty counties of the 135 to be
heard from the Democratic majority is
over co 900.

Colombo, Bocas del Toro being now the
shipping center and principal attraction
for planters and merchants engaged in
the industry.
There are at the present time, taken
at rough estimate, no less than $4,000
acres of land devoted entirely to the cul.
tivation of bananas, from which can be
shipped weekly 10000 punches, all aver.
aging $50 bananas to each bunch. Thest
are termed "whole bunches"-besides
which about %, 900 punches of a smaller
size, averaging 200 bananas each (Which
are termed halves still remain uncut,
and at the expiration of another week
attain their full size, when they also are
ready for shipment.
At the lapse of the same length of
time perhaps twice the quantity of
punches are ready to be cut, and so on

just received two of its most interesting
exhibits, and the lender has been the
Vatican. They are geographical maps
of very early date and of extreme rarity.

VI shows the chart Of the world as il
was believed to exist at the commence.
ment of the Sixteenth century. s line,
the drawing of which is additionally
ascribed to Alexander himself, defines
the limits of the Spanish possessions in
America, and separates them from those
Of Portugal.
The second map-less ancient than
the first-has a greater historical value,
as the precise date is not left. to con-
lecture. An inscription in Spanish an
nounces that it is the haudiwOrk of the
cosmographer Of the king of Spain, who
prepared it by command Of the king as

the rather naive announcement, not that
it is map Of the world, but u map of
so much of the world as had been dis
covered up to that date.

esting as their authenticity and pedigree
are above all doubt. They come from

VOlapuk, the new tongue which was
to bind all articulate creation together
in the bond of a common language, has
been but little heard of for some time
past. In Belgium, however, the VIOLA
pukists are showing signs of life. A
conference of Volapukists, as they are
called, is being held at Brussels, and ac-
cording to all accounts much enthusiasm
is being displayed for Pastor Schleyer
and his system.
The Volapukists profess to be indiffer-
ent to the ridicule with which they have
been assailed. Their pet notion is des-
tined to, triumph and they can afford to
wait. If the present generation does not
reap the full benefit of their labors, sue
ceeding generations will do so. Such
has been the tenor of their discourses.
But in the meantime, if their figures are
to be trusted, they have made solid prog
