Fox That Spends It's Life ROAMING

High up on the roof of the Boston tavern.

a little gray fox that has spent nearly her
whole life with the smoke of the chimnevs
blowing about her and the roar from the
streets of the city filling her ears day and

her, as her only companion.

AMERICAN SHIP HELD.
England sHn Keeps Che President,
Captured in 1912.
From the Philadelphia Press


London, Sept. 1.-THE American man
of-war here tied up to a dock by the
British government may become sub
ject Of diplomatic negotiation. She is the
frlgate President, captured by the British
off Long Island, in the war of 1912.
Since the success of Ambassador Bay
ard in securing the res oratlon to America
of the log of the Mayflower several letters
received at the American embassy call at
tendon to the old President, asking if some
means could not be devised Of securing her
return.
Thus far the embassy has taken no ac-
ton in the matter. A correspondent went
aboard the President to-day. She is now a
regular ship in the British navy and lies
at the West India docks London, where
she is used as a drill ship for naval re-
serves. The President is kept in excellent
order and the igurehead Of John Adams
is bright with gold.
At the time Of her capture, when she was
commanded by the gallant Decatur, she
was the largest frlgate in the world, car
rying sixty guns. She only surrendered af-
ter 100 Americans In her crew had been
killed, and when the second British frigate
came up to help the Endymon.
To-day, however, she looks like small
craft and Is really less than 1900 tons
terrific cannonade she sustained before she
surrendered. Every plank SENS to be as
sound as when she was launched. At the
admiralty, however, doubts were express
ed as to whether she could cross the At
lantic without going to pieces, and in any
event, 1t is said she would be almost
worthless, except as a curiosity.
il is also said there that she has been
rebuilt above the water line, but it is adj
| mitted that her frame, Keel masts and
much of her pankng were exactly as
they came from the yankee shipbuiders'
yard.
Her history has been carefully kept at
the admiralty. Since she was captured
from the Americans she has been a part
of the British navy, but her name has
never been changed.
The officers aboard to-day said the great
old ship made little or no water and APP
peared to be perfectly sound. An Eng
lishman writes to the Times asking what
Britain is to get in return for the log
of the Mayflower, and suggests a gem
eral exchange OF war trophies to cement
the friendship of the two nations and
says the United States should give up
the flags and the wooden lion now held
at Annapolis, which were captured from
the British
