Cunning Of tho Fox.

No other still hunter can travel 40
quietly as a fox, and mighty few
men are as crafty as the four legged
hunter when it comes to a matter of
getting meat. Foxes have been seen
in England slipping from bush to
bush, crawling and creeping after a
feeding hare, for all the world like
a man stalking a deer. The fox can.
not catch a rabbit in a fair chase.
but its food is mostly rabbits in spite
of their fieetness. But at no time
does it display it's skill so we'll as
when running for life with a pack of
hounds in it's trail.
Lord Willoughby de Broke writes
to The Badminton Magazine to tell
how a tired fox made straight for a
flock Of sheep in a pen, ran through
them and in the end escaped. CLAUS
Magnus, archbishopo of Upsala, wrote
a book called "Historia de Gentibus
Septentrionalibus," of which an
English translation exists. This
book tells of a fox that leaped fir ON
back to back Of a herd of goats. As
the dogs could not follow the fox es-
capped.
A curious trick of English foxes is
to jump as high as possible, grasp
ing a tree branch with their teeth.
hold on till the hounds have gone
on, and then, dropping to the ground,
escape. This is similar to the trick
OF the American fox, which jumps
into a tree and rests on a branch,
but American dogs are not such fools
as English dogs. They gather around
the tree and howl till the hunter
comes

with it, eve as our artist Gibson
fell in love with a creation of his

Girl" Years afterward, when he
had become an eminence in the mu-

her the image OF his picture, loved
her, proposed to her, was accepted
and took her to wife. She is the

feotive, the dies were broken now
and then and had to be replaced by
others. Variations in the cutting of
the dies gave rise to recognizable
differences In the minted pieces. At
present no complete collection of the
cents of tfat year exists. The orig.
inal idea was that each penny should

Of the piece. All cents from 1903 to
1914 with the head of an Indian are
rare when perfect-especislly those
of 1909 and 1911, which are worth
$50 each. No pennies were ooine.l
in 1915 because of the burning of the
mint. That is the only break in the
continuity of the coinage of cents.
The cents of 1872, 1918, 1919 and
1920 used to DO rare, but bags full of
them we're found in an old bank and
flooded the market. Prices of coins
are controlled by the law of supply

Makes Mice Earn Their Board.

The latest opposition to manual labor
comes not from steam power, but from
the modest little mouse. A Scotchman
n evening recently sat looking at
some mice when an idea struck him.
He decided to set the little thieves at
spinning yarn, and it was probably a
very astcnisned pair Of mice that found
themselves a few days later working a
small treadmill in a cage like those in
which rats and other small animals are
kept, but without the slightest idea that
they were paying for their board in this
way. The ingenious Scotty found from
calculation that an ordinary mouse can
twist over 100 threads on reels every
day, although to do this he has to run
1Ol5 miles. London News.

region claimed him as his son. Thomas
Lincoln and Enloe had a regular set to
fight about the matter, in which encoun-
ter Lincoln bit off the end of Enloe's
nose. Lincoln held the mother and
child, but Enloe ever afterward claimed
that he was the father Ct Ale, and the
name the mother gave the boy was evil
dence, Enloe would contend, CT that
fact. Finally Thomas Lincoln, to get
clear Of Enloe, removed to Indiana.
~*~ A few words more as to the Enloe
family and I am done with the subject.
AS far back as I a recollect there lived
in Hardin county three families Ct En-
loes, all from North Carolina and all
said to be cousins. Isham Enloe mar
ried a widow Larue and had a family
OF some distinction. Governor Helm is
a relative Of Mrs. Enloe's descendants
by her first husband, Larue. Abe Enlce,
another cousin, a tall, dignifed looking
man OF fine personal appearance, very
neat. silent and reserved, more CT a
bookworm than anything else, married
q Vernon-one CT our best families
and was the father CT respectable fam
lily. Then ccmes our veritable Abe En-
loe, who claims to be the father of Lin
coin. He was over 6 feet high and a
fine specimen of manhood. I remember
him, with port of his nose bit off, as one
OF the institutions CT the country for
over 30 years. Very silent, very unob-
t~rusive, drunk nor boisterous, he
seemed not to suffer in reputation by
the conduct Of his sisters, who were
more or less notorious. l never had
much to say to him except when I sold
him some article for his farm in my un-
cle's store. He may have been a man of
destiny also and patiently filled the
place assigned him by Providence"
To destroy the claims of Enloe it is
only necessary to state that at the time
of Nancy Hanks marriage he was
scarcely l6 years cid, while she was %.
l repeat, therefore, when l went to
Kentucky I was determined to unravel
the myriad OF yarns that seemed to have
wound themselves around the subject of
q biographical efforts. Fortunately
for our purposes and the good of history
the clerk Of Washington county, KY,
had just discovered in one Of the dusty
and long neglected pigecnholes in his
office the certificate by Jesse Head, q
Methodist preacher. Of the marriage of
Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks,
which he had solemnized on June IL,
1906; also the bond the law requires in
such cases signed by Thomas Lincoln
and Richard Berry. These things at
once disposed Of the long accepted the

When l arrived in Kentucky, and es.

coins birth, a network Of interviewer
legends and traditions confronted me,
l dug my way patiently through clerks

the faded pages Of family history in
musty old Bibles; I struggled over and
by dint OF untiring effort deciphered Gu
riously spelled and dimly written let
tiers; l fathomed my way through the
files Of old newspapers; I followed down
the v ending lanes of neighborhood
and backwoods lore; I interviewed
scores OF witnesses CT every age and con-
dition in life, and, in a word, searched
for facts and data till it seemed, at
least, as if my head and heart were
equally filed with the subject of nv in
v~estigations.
Each locality had its tradition, and
many of them were equally curious and
amusing. The rancor Of sectional strife
furnished al atmosphere in which some
OF them, feeding ON their own ~inconsist-
encies, grew to the dignity of glorious
falsehoods.

Here In South Africa the native
races seem to have made no progress
for centuries, il indeed they have
not actually gone backward, and the
feebleness OF savage man intensiies
ones sense of the overmastering
strength Of nature. The elephant
and the rhinoceros and the giraffe
are as much the masters Of the soil
as is the Kafar, and man has no
more right to claim that the land
was made for him than have the
wild beasts of the forest who roar
after their prey and seek their meat
from God. Professor James Bryce,
