GOOD ENOUGH TO FOOL A FOX.
A Shooters Experience with Fancy
Decoys on AIbemarle sound.

A Shooters Experience with Fancy
| Decoys on AIbemarIe sound.
Eldridge Darlington, New Yorker
who went to Albemarle sound duck
hunting a few weeks ago, tells a curious
story of fox, reports the New York
Sun. He had his decoys off a rounded
point of land one morning, and was
waiting for it to get light enough to
shoot. The decoys were fancy ones
made of iron and rubber, painted to
represent the birds the hunter was
after, and looked very natural.
At dawn it happened that for about
ten or fifteen minutes no birds came
within range, so no SLOTS were fred.
While the hunter was wondering at this
he heard a rustic up-wind from the
blind in the grass of the point. Look
ing cautiously over the grass, he was
Just in time 10 see fox crouched for
leap at decoy which was about four
feet distant. The fox gave a culver as
he gathered his muscles for the jump,
and then sprang ahead and grabbed the
decoy with all his might. Thereupon
the fox was the most astonished beast
that ever hunted ducks. The rubber
bag with an iron frame was hard and
soft in spots. The rubber was pierced
by the teeth of the animal, letting the
air out with a pop like a. firecracker.
The iron, however, had serious effect
on the fox's jaw, breaking several teeth
and cutting the lips in way that made
tho fox Suuaal The fov fur-pad 4brea
somersaults in the water and then
headed for shore and got to the brush,
in spite of two shots.

THE COMING OF PROSPERITY.

The Chicago Times-Herald says:
Don't expect prosperity to come
back with jump" to which the Kan

I'VE won't. If she enters with a
glide; If she moseys in on one leg;
ray, if she even sashays forward on
her surcingle, or waltzes gently in.
on her ear, We'll welcome her and
brush the dust off the best seat in the

one bit of difference how she comes,
but the whenness Of her coming is a
matter Of much interest"

saw that the dog was being terribly
punished in the fight and went for his
shotgun. Upon returning he shot the
eagle dead, but it was not until it had
torn the flesh and eyes of the dog cru
ely. The poor animal whined with
pain and ran frightened away from the
spot as soon as released from the great
claws of the bird. The eagles wings
measured five feet three inches from tip
to tip. 1t is such an unusual thing to
see an eagle in that vicinity that the
residents believe it must have escaped
long ago from some menagerie or ZOO
logical garden and lived in the hills IN
til it became wild.

An eagle tried 10 capture bulldog in
the Kentucky highlands back of New

Powers, near Johns Hill, was the scene
of the affair. For several hours large
bird was noticed sailing'over the farm
house. 1t was supposed to be simply
a buzzard or a large hawk, however, and
little attention was given it until it
made its presence felt much more dis
tinctly.
1t was just four O'Clock when Powers
heard loud howis from his dog in the
yard, near the house. He went out to
ascertain the cause and found the
brute wrestling with a large bird,
which he Immediately recognized as an
eagle. He was astonished by the
strange spectacle and stood as If trans
