u sHBEp KILLS A FOX +.
ReS nnrd IL Neatly Dispatched by
ra stbe Supposedly Peeceful
Animal.


Edward o. Denton, Somerset farm
CT, has o flock of Dorset sheep which he
is willing to pit against whole pack
of foxes. lie came TO Lockport. N. ",
the other afternoon with big fox
which, he declares, his sheep killed.
The hired man corroborates his story.
About tiso'cIoclS he was aroused by
the hleuting of the bucks, and he recog-
nizcd it as challenge on the purt of
the old warriors. lie frequently had
seen dogs attack the flock, and the
hucks Invariably drove them OF. The
Dorseis have long, straight horns that
nre as sharp as needles aud the breed is
pugnacious.
A iiuinbei. of lambs had been born re-
Gently SO Mr.. Denton ran ont to the
fold. When lac entered he saw the
Oldest ram standing guard over u rcd
fox, just killed. The foX had heard the
blcnting of the lambs, and jumped into
the incIosurc The bucks apparently
gave the intruder battle, and q horn had
pierced the foX's neck near the skull.
The sheep had then trnmpled on the
prostrate animal, penetrating the hide
in no less than 50 places.
Apparently there had been battle
royal IN the inclosurc from which rey-
nnrd could not escape Two or three
of the sheep had been badly bitten, but
they ouinumbercd their enemy.

Reproof and Advice Alike Must be
Sugar Coated to be Needed.
1.-THE universal frailty of our human
nature which dislikes to be told of
faults must be taken into consideration
when we converse with our grown-up
children writes Kate Epson Clark in
the November "Woman's Home Com
panion." After they pass the age OF
IA or Is they usually betray a greater
sensitiveness than before to even rea-
sonabIe fault-fnding. By the time they
reach Is or 20 this tendency has become
a marked trait. They have then be-
come substantially like the rest of US.
Even from the lips of loving fathers or
mothers and in strict privacy they want
nothing but the same sort Of honey on
which our own souls love to feed. They
wish no allusion made to the facts that
they are acquiring nasal tones; that
their gait is awkward; that their taste
in dress is uniformed and even bad:
that they have not good judgment in
choosing associates. and so on Private
discourses upon the wiles of the world
and the weakness of youth and it's
proneness to wander they wish none of.

be given must be administered in small
doses, interjected with skill into con-
versations upon ordinary matters, and
ugar-coated, if possible, with artful
compliment, though it should be al
ways deserved. Even the best and dear
est of our carefully brought up young
people are likely to have their year or
more of obstinacy and pig headedness,'
or their permanent streaks Of unreason-
ab1eness and contumacy. Therefore,
they would better receive most of the
telling strokes that mold into shape be-
fore they reach the age Of IA. From
that time up to the age of what is called
discretion which does not arrive with
mosts of US before % Gf them, the
youth, in judgment and sense, is really
not much superior to what he was at
from z to Is, but he has no suspicion

Names Will be Furnished Only ON
Application to Boer War Once,


Application to Boer War Once.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Mr. Ma
crum, United States Consul at Pretoria,
has cabied the State Department that
the Transvaaa Government has in
formed him that full reports will be
given through the War Office of the Re-
public of the name and condition Of
the British prisoners when applied for
by British authorities.
Mr. Macrum preferred a request for
information on this point some time
ago, and was at first refused. Now,
however, that the assent of the Boer
Government is given, it is noted that
their response is not complete. They
will not furnish Mr. Macrum himself
with the information, but oblige the
British to make application to the Boer
War Office. This is a small matter,
but, it is said. may be indicative of an
intention on the part of the Beers to
force formal recognition of their indie
pendence in every official communica-
ton by the British Government.
