FATE or A FAMOUS FOX.
He Trlcked Valley Forge Hunters For ManI Years
Mei His Fate al Last.

George Washington. the hoary AMI
sporty old fox that has lived i'm the
South Valley hills at Valley Forge for
so many years. ana mas figured ia a
score or more hunts, met with "A tragic
end recently by being torn 60 pieces
by a pack of hounds.
About n dozen members OF the Per-
klomon. Port Kennedy Washington ana
Black Rock Hunts. with pack OF ~
hounds. turned out for a hunt. After
beating around the Valley hills FOR an
hour. according to- the Philadelphia
Times, the hounds succeeded in Jump
ing" old George Washington, and a
lively chase followed. FoXey did some
pretty lively running among the hills
for half an hour ana then made "A
break across the open country towards
New Ccutrevillc. with the hounds in
close pursuit. From Cedar Hollow the
fox made "a good run through Charles
town township. ana then headed for
Valley Forge, with the hounds very
close ia his heels. Finding that he was
nkeiy Co be picked up in the open
stretch OF country that lay before him
he popped into a groundhog hole when
about half back, and none too soon,
FOR the hounds were close To him. The
hunters got picks and shovels. and as
the hole proved shallow, they uncovered
him after an hour digging.
TlfN'fox was muzzled, and Darl Day
Is. of the Black Rock Hunt, seated him
ON the pommel of his saddle. and start
cd off for Valley Forge, surrounded by
the pack. He had not proceeded far,
however. when the old fox made wild
lean and went bounding among the
hounds He had scarcely touched the
ground before a dozen OF the dogs We're
ON him and before Mr. Davis could
alight from his horse the old fox had
nearly been torn TO pieces. The hounds
were driven away, and when the hunt
ers came up and saw what had hap
pened they almost cried for they would
rather have lost "A horse or COW than
lost old George. Mr.. Davis secured the
brush.
old George was "A great runner, ana
had figured i'm many big hunts. He was
frequently captured and kept for big
drop hunts and. while he often made
narrow escapes, he always managed tu
save himself by some trick or good
stroke of luck. All regret that he al
last was fated to meet such an un-
sportsmanlike end.

EUROPEAN CONSULAR SYSTEM

In the February Century, Mr.. George
McAneny summarizes the results of the
state departments inquiry into the con-
sular system of other countries. and
compares that system with our own
not at all to- our advantage.
The system / have outlined (says Mr..
George McAneny) is common To every
nation OF Europe. except. possibly. Tur-
key Outside of Europe IT Is established
i'm Brazil and Argentina. and, among
the independent states of Asia, in Jap.
an Ii is lacking in the minor South
American republics. i'm Persia and Chi
ma. in Morocco, Mexico. and the United
states.
In each European organization. as In
our own. there Is the division into sal
aried and unsalaried classes. and into
grades of consul general. consul vice
or deputy consul, and commercial Cr
consular agents. The salaried officers
tconsules missD are usually subjects
of the government by which they are
commissioned, and are not permitted to
engage In private business. The un-
salaried ,consules electD, who are com
pansated wholly by fees or by allow
ances. are relieved from these restrc-
lions. and are very frequently local
| merchants 'rhe latter class, MS We'll ns
agents. are selectcd generally ~ tile
superior consul in the district. who Is
responsible for their acts, and who vir-
| tually controls their tenure. 1t Is tho
| permanent class only-tbose In TN,
| consular career'-that this article
| need consider. Though there is un-
| doubtedly room for reform I'm other par
| ticulars. II is the question of correct
| methods OF organization In the CORES
| pOnding branch Of our own service ina
| calls for first solution.

Iloilo has fallen, crushed like an
egg she'll. This place is the chief
city and port of that part of the
Philippine population known as
the Visayas. as Manila is the
capital ofthe Togal district. Gen.
Otis is pushing his campaign with
a vigor that amounts to relentless
ness. He is furnishing every
Filipino he can catch with a gun
in his hands. The Philippine
army like the Philippine govern
ment is already demonstrated to be
little more than a she'll, a play
thing OF Aguinaldo and his fellow
politicians who have been carried
away by reason OF that little

The storm is over. 1t was rec
ord breaker. 1t created confusion
and embarrassment beyond any
thing this community has known.
The trolley service made a brave
fight for more than two days but
finally surrendered to the biz
Yards insisteEce. Such a chaster-
ing of the spirit as most of us have
endured, however, may be accept
ed with resignation provided our
physical suffering have not been
extreme. IL is irritating and en-
barrassing to be deprived OF the
customary advantages of civiliza-
ton such as storm like this i'll
tcrferes with but that isn't worth a
serious growl. Especially do such
o. us as have n warm fireside and
well filled larder 10 carry us
through such period have reason
for profound gratitude and instead
OF encouraging any sentiment OF
discomfort at the untoward condi-
tions we may better give athought
10 our brother who may be hungry
ard cold, seek him out, learn how
lie has Jared, help him to the ex-
tent OF our resources. And when
the news from the storm set sea
comes in we shall surely all agree
that, although our business was
interrupted and the butcher, the
baker and the candlestick maker
have not been easily available foi
our needs for the past twenty-fouI
hours, although our feet may have
been wet and snow has gone dowr
the backs of o.r necks, although
our water pipes are frozen and
generally life has been consid.
erable vexation, we arc not sc
badly off after all by the inevitable
contrast that far worse conditions
suggest. The poor, the homeless,
and those in peril on the sea inev
itably co:-mand our sympathy tc
the exclusion OF cur own petty
tribulations in such a period.
