The message seems incomplete and y
lacking IN suggestions pertinent at this

about increasing those revenues.
Mr.. VOORHEES, of Indiana, Democrat,

Mr.. Teller, Republican of Colorado

Lillian RusssIps Mortgage.

Ever since the news that Lillian Rus
sell had mortgaged her residence for $l9,-
900 was published in the newspapers the
curious have been clamorins to know how
1t happened that Miss Russell could DO SO
impoverished.
1t Is pretty thoroughly understood that
our first light opera prima donna Is not
lavish in the matter of expenditure, and
it is equally we'll known that she has for
the last eight years been receiving a very
large income.
The only answer to the apparent para
dox presented by the juxtaposition Of In
come, expenditure and mortgage is that
Miss Russell is not broke" and that her
placing of the s19, 900 mortgage at per
cent simply means that she has paid off an
old $4,000 mortgage which drew per

A SURPRISED FOX.


A long lean crane stood motionless In
the big cover down on the fats late one
spring afternoon watching for hsh or
frog 20 como within reach of his pointed,
heavy bill A cold wind was blowing
and ruffiod up the bird o feathers In way
10 make him shjyer. A brown bird started
10 fly past the still figure, then there was
a quick Jerk, and the brown bird disap-
peared. The thin crane looked as though
he felt better. After bit he waded TO the
shore and stood on the bank looking into
tho water as II for q fish or frog.
AS tho sun was shining red for mo-
ment through crack In tho clouds fox,
sleek in winter fur, came into view from
up the creek, looking here and there for a
mouse or better game. He had started
early that day, probably in the hope that
he might capture a.bird. He stalked
crow, uneuccessfully flushed two or three
brown birds, sneaked up wind at q wood
chuck aid got little mole. Then ho saw
the cranes back and neck over the bank
and straightway dropped back on TO his
launches 20 calculate bit. He worked
his way toward the crane so slowly as not
TO be noticed till within ten feet OF the
bird, when the birds head camo around
with startled suddeLness. The fox stop
ped, and the crane looked indignant. The
fox took two steps nearer, and the crane
bristled up his neck feathers and drew his
head back as II 90 strike. Then the fox
saw that the crane would fight. IL any.
thing can tickle fox, IL Is TO have bird
stand fight.
The fox took two jumps lightly for
ward, then yelped out In pain. The crane
had struck at his eye and ripped his cheek
bare. He grabbed the crane by the leg,
and then, like a pug dog pulling string
tied ball, ran around in a circle, tripping
the crane up. The crane screamed and
gave the fox glencing blow behind the
shoulder, driving the fox away yard and
gaining time TO get on his legs again.
Then the fox came at the crane, and
once moro the crane struck at the fox's
eye, this time successfully, for the point
of the bill picked tse eyeball open. The
fox skunk back and started TO run, while
the crane, with six foot strides and half
spread wings, set after him. Then came
q race fit TO make woodsman howl. The
cranes head stuck out straight before his
body, while his long pipe stem legs stretch
ed out fore and aft alternately, twisting
around each other as the fox turned sharp
corners, with his tail Rugged close, ears
laid back and mouth open. Foxes are cred
tied with being creased lightning runners,
but the crane made this fox hump himself
TO keep out Of the way.
At last the fox went under a wire fence,
turning sharp to do 1t. The crane struck
at him, not noticing the wire, and the
cranes neck struck on the wire, while the
bill split on barb, hooking the bird fast.
Lem Lawson killed the fox at long range
with a rife and the crane was captured
alive, only TO die later.-Seaberry IN. "
