When the company left Fargo there

carelessly spoken. nay. even thought
sometimes, will serve to send them off
in a huff. and then all sorts of mis-
fortunes will follow. When a man is
seized with a fit in Japan they say He
is afflicted with foxes or He has
made an enemy of the foxes.
Only half of the good done by foxes
is genuine. A story is told of woman
who kept a little shop where rice was
sold. Every night a tall woman en-
tered the shop. bought her rice, but as
she turned her back the shop keeper
saw a long white tail hanging below
her dress She cried out. and the
woman disappeared Rushing to the
drawer where she had placed her
money she found some coins and some
dried leaves. Half of the money she
had been bewitched and had turned

Sometimes houses will be summed

that foxes have taken up their abodes
therein Families supposed TO be at
fiicted with the friendship of the foxes
are rather left alone by the rest of the
peasants. as it is never certain when
the unwelcome guests will transfer
their affections-and their presence-to
others. And the villagers do no care
to place temptation in their way
Families not having foxes are not al
lowed to marry into those having them.
as when the foxes attach themselves
to a family it includes in its affections
all its members. even to those most
remote. One of the most famous
families in Japan claims its supremacy
to be due to the good influence of the
foxes who have taken up their abode
in that family.
All over japan you will see images
of the foxes-old gray foxes with their
noses Clipped and their ears broken
| off: older foxes still. with a growth OF
moss on their backs, sly. alert foxes
| and little foxes, sages and clowns, all
kinds and degrees-showing the pre-
valence of this belief in the land of the
vistarfa and the fan. and also showing
in what respect the fox is held,
1t is curious to note that in all coun-
tries the fox above all other animals

fiuence and power All nations have

tell me that peanuts don't grow on
trees, for I know better. If chestnuts
grow on chestnut trees and walnutS on
walnut trees. of course it is reasonable
to suppose that peanuts grow on peanut
trees.
AS soon as the elephant had eaten the
cake he broke open the peanut and
politely offered half of it to his COM

it without SO much as thank vou-
Harry had now learned all ne wanted

hadn't kept a malice cake that he
might have given piece TO one of the

There are enough tigerish tempers in
the world without adding to them.
On Fifth avenue there dwells a man
who is as rich as a king in a fairy book.
And he was as mean as he was rich,

This rich old man was as cross as
he was mean. He would not let little
boys run around in his front yard or

to make the servants of his servants
drive them off. For, although he was
very mean 20 others, he denied himself
nothing that money could buy, and he
had servants for his servants, so that
his servants would have nothing to do
but wait on him. Of course Harry
never played on his balconies because
he lived in fiat and had a fire
escape of his own to play on, but he
did think it hard that the poor little
ragamuffins that sometimes sweep
down on Fifth avenue from the side
streets could not have a little innocent
fun if they wanted to.

A THANKSGIVING GAME.

Hostesses of house parties and moth
ers expecting their boys and girls home
for the Thanksgiving holidays are
often glad to hear of new game, or of
an old one revived
game in which old and young and
almost any member can join is the Bird
Fancier. A cage of chairs must be
made and arranged in the middle of the
room; then number of pieces of paper
are cut, as many pieces as there are
players. On half the number the name
or a bird is written-canary thrush.
robin and so on. These pieces are then
folded and put on plate and passed
around to the players. Those who draw
bird must walk into the cage. and
those who draw blanks remain in their
seats.
A merchant is then chosen, or bird
fancier, who stands in the center-of the
cage, and the birds from that moment
must never take their eyes from him.
If bird is discovered 10 be looking
away he is instantly commanded to paw
a forfeit

round the cage. doing all in their power
to divert the attention of the birds by
talking to them, calling them by name.

A player standing outside the cage
cries: Il will; describe your BIRDS The
bird fancier then calls the birds by
name, and tells of their good qualities.
The fun IS lie the witty and amusing
descriptions gwen by the merchant.
When the purchaser chooses a bird he

QUAINT FOXES OF JAPAN.
The Creatures Are Harried and Torn
By Dogs For Sport.
New York Heraldl

In Japan, with IT'S quaint gentle peo-
pie and it's quainter, gentler beliefs
even the foxes are not the same as they
are in other countries. Here fox is n
plaything, a creature to be harried
and torn to pieces b. dogs for sport
In Japan it is well to address a fox by
the most honorable titles, to treat him
kindly, place food for him and be very
glad when he goes. For in Japan foxes
have great power, and it is not well to
offend them. Many are the tales the
little people whisper-whisper for fear
the foxes will hear and take offense-
about the deeds of mari the fox.
They are popularity supposed to take
up their abode with those they fancy
and, alas, also with those whom they
do not fancy. And sometimes it is hard
to decide which is the happier For the
foxes must be fed And as there are
always many in family. and they do
not visit singly, much rice must be
consumed for them Good luck comes
from their arrival. however, but it is
liable to be changed into the direst i'll

the few blocks that lie in their neigh

GREETED in a city like New York, which
is full of the most interesting locali-
ties, But Harry thanks to the protec-
ton of the lion who so often accom-
panied him, knew New York from the
Battery up to the Harlem river.
One day he was out walking on Fifth
avenue-which. as you all know, is the
most famous street of residences in
America. There are few shops on up
per Fifth avenue, and so when Harry
passed bakery at the corner of Sixty
fifth street, he was much surprised
and turned back. He had passed the
spot hundreds of times before, but had
never noticed it. He happened to have
some spending money in his pocket, and
he went into the store.
What sort of cake have you, if you
please?" Those of you who have read
the other stories will remember that
Harry was extremely courteous. He
always took off his cap when he met
an acquaintance on the street. and he
often took it off in the house without
being asked to by his mother-and if
you have any younger brothers you
will appreciate that statement.
There was a very tall, thin young
woman behind the counter. She had
flaxen hair and pink cheeks and blue
eyes, and Harry thought she looked
like a doll come to life. The counter
was heaped with all sorts of strange
looking cakes OF pretty shapes and COL
ors, and all of them were covered with
frosting. Cake without frosting is much
worse than an egg without salt, and
this young woman knew ii.

TO ask.
