wILEs OF THE FOX.
Some Clever Tricks by Which Rey
nard Battles His Pursuers.

Some Clever Tricks by Which Rey-
nard Battles His Pursuers.
A fox is entitled to all that is said
for its wisdom and sagacity. Not long
ago the Washington hunt of Valley
Forge started young fox in the North
valley hills, and the hounds were rum
ming 1t across the open field when the
hunters were surprised to see q much
larger fox come from the woods and
run diagonally across the track of the
young fox ahead of the hounds, and
when they struck the stronger track
of the bigger fox they took it up, young
Reynard thereby being saved from be-
ing run down and killed by the hounds.
Old hunters say they have frequently
witnessed this trick when young foxes
were being closely pressed and in dan
ger of being run down and killed by
the hounds. Another and an even
sharper trick was played by an old fox
some weeks ago while being hotly
chased by hounds. The fox had run
some 20 miles, and while crossing an
open stretch of country was in danger
Of being run down and killed. In a
field through which the fox was run
ming with the hounds close to it's heels
was the cellar Of an old house, with q
portion of the walls still standing. The
fox made straight for the old cellar,
leaped into it and made its escape
through narrow opening in the walls
The hounds, supposing the fox was
trapped, dashed into the cellar pell-
nell, only to find Reynard gone and
themselves in trap, as the hole in the
wall through which the fox had es-
capped was too small to permit them to
get through.
When the hunters rode up, they
found the pack in a trap, with one of
the hounds wedged fast in the hole
through which the fox had made its
escape. BY the time the hounds were
got out of the cellar the fox was safe
In its hole.-Philadelph Times.

Is Alaska Growing warmerf

Prospective visitors and gold seekers
in the Klondike region may extract
some comfort from the discovery, made
by the Hartman Alaska expedition,
that most Of the glaciers which abound
In that territory are receding. The
fact is an indication that the average
weather there is growing warmer. If
it were growing colder the glaciers
would be advancing, while If 1t were
about the same one year with another
they would maintain the same general
position, neither creeping nearer to the
sea nor melting away from their termi
nal moraines. The rate of glacial re-
cession. is so slow, however, that fur
overcoats and warm sleeping bags are
likely to remain as a part of the neces-
sary equipment of Alaskan travel for
some years to come.-Leslie's Weekly.

A STORY OF DAN RICE.
The Great Clown Did Not Forget II
Tent Mantn RHII

The Great clown Did Not Forget the
Tent Mans BiIl.
One story of Dan Rice, the veteran
circus clown, illustrates his strict sense
Of honesty and gratitude for favors.
Once he was stranded in Cincinnati,
the story goes, and was unable to start
a show on the road because he had no
tent and could not raise money to buy
one. The tent Rice needed would be
worth $2,5o0. The manager Of a tent
concern sent for the clown one morn
ing and, taking him to his factory,
showed big tent that was lust finish
ed. Rice looked at 1t with hungry eyes.
He turned away, with sigh.
Fine tent, don't you thinkY asked
the canvas maker.
Rice looked back at it over his shoul-
der, with another deep sigh.
"It's yours" said the tent man.
Rice was like playful kitten in an
instant.
''I believe there Is lot Of money in
you yet" said the canvas man. "You
take that tent and start your show,
and If you ever get money enough to
pay me for 1t the price is $2,50O."
Within two weeks Rice was on the
road with show and began a success
full career. For 15 years he never re-
ferred to the tent, although he often
met the man who made it. One after
noon he asked the tent man to be his
guest at one of his shows, then in Gin
cinnati. The two sat looking on, and
Rice remarked:
Fine show, don't you think2"
The canvas man declared that it GER
tainly was.
by the way" added Rice, there's
that $4,000 owe you" He took roll
Of bills out of his pocket and handed 1t
to the tentmaker, who pocketed 1t with
out unrolling it. The old tent man low
ed to relate this story and always de-
clared that the great men of this coun-
try were P. T. Barnum, John Robinson
and Dan Rice.-New York Mail and

1t Worried the Fat Man, but He Tried
to Enjoy 1t.
1t happened in one of the late trains.
Everybody was trying to get to sleep,
and when the voice of a baby was sud
denly lifted up III robust wall it was
not met with expressions of Joy. It
cried steadily from Spring Garden
street to Columbia avenue. Then it
accidentally dropped pasteboard box
it had. A very stout and, like his kind,
very affable man across the aisle
stopped heavily and picked 1t up.
The child stopped crying as it took
it and promptly dropped it again. The
man, thinking 1t an accident, picked
it up once more. This time the baby
actually smiled, and as he threw ii
down audibly cooed with delight. The
man looked distinctly uncomfortable
and became interested in something
outside the window. The child looked
at the box moment, then at the man,
and, seeing nothing else, resumed bis

look of despair resettled on the face of

Won't you please pick up that box
again?" And with a highly artificial
smile he complied. Out of pure cour-
tesy he became a box lifting autom-
atom, his piles of adipose making each
stoop come harder. But when he wip-
ed the perspiration from his brow and
staggered out of the car at German
town he got grateful smile from the
afflicted woman, as well as every other
passenger, that he felt paid him.

A KAFFiR SMOKER.

The Native Women Are Enthusia site
Devotees of the Weed.
In South Africa the native women
smoke necessarily. Your native serv-
ant smokes as she cooks and as she
washes. The tobacco she likes is rank.
The dainty cigarette an English or
Russian lady of fashion enjoys, smoked
through a quill so that no nicotine can
stain either teeth or fingers, would be
sneered at by Kaffir. "Give me a
pipe and something in it l can taste. +"
is in effect what she says.
The men Kaffirs are beyond tobacco.
They smoke something so vehement
that it makes them cough and splutter,
lose their breath, choke and sneeze to
an alarming degree. They like snuff,
too, and are fond of offering and taking
pinches of it ("schniff'' they call it,
when they meet and visit one another.
Regarding tobacco as too mild for
their taste, the Kaff1rs take another
weed and smoke that. They proceed
to arrange smoking party by squat
ting on the ground and getting ready

tube In 1t inserted half way down at
right angles to the horn. The end of
the tube is in basin, and it is from it
that the smoker sucks the strong stuff
that makes him incapable of anything
but a series Of coughs and chokes for
some time after he has had his turn at
the pipe, which is passed round from
man to man until a perfect chorus of
coughs rends the air.
The tobacco the Beers smoke looks
like poor tea and is peculiar in flavor,
yet Englishmen who have become used
to it acquire such a taste for it that
they never ask for any other kind

What is the price of manhood
What sale does honor bring7
Does pure, untarnished character
Count naught in lifetime's ringH
Do bauble scions rule us?
Does riot, ruin reign,
The purest soul to trample down,
To crush, destroy, rend twain7
Is there no truth or honor
To cause mankind to stay
The all consuming thirst for lust
That lures them far away?
Does honest labor cheaper
The mold wherein we're cast?
Is black, corrupt impurity
The flag flung from life's mast7
Forget not One is watching
Our actions day by day,
And riches gained at such a cost
He surely will repay;
For though mankind is judging
Appearances, poor art,
The God, the Just, the righteous Judge,
Inspects our inmost heart.
Condemn not, then, pray thee,
For thou, thyseh, some day
May seek for mercy from thy Judge,
Whose verdict none can sway.
And temper all thy judgments
With love and common sense

It serves full recompense.

EAGLES AND THEIR PREY.
A Giant Bird whose Race Has Hap
PLY Become Extinct.

A Giant Bird Whose Race Has Hap
PLY Become Extinct.
There is at the present moment at
the Natural History museum a model
of the skull Of an eagle SO gigantic that
the imagination can scarcely fit it into
the life Of this planet at all.
The whole head is larger than that of
an OK, and the beak resembles pair
of hydraulic shears. Unlike most Of
the giant beasts, this eagle, which in
habited Patagonia, appears from its
remains to have differed little from
the existing species. Its size alone
distinguishes it. The quilts Of the
feathers which bore this awful raptor
through the air must have been as
thick as walking stick and the webs
as wide as car blades. It would have
killed and torn to pieces creatures as
large as a bison and whirled up into
the sky and dropped into the rocks
the gigantic carapaced animals of
prehistoric Patagonia as easily as q
modern eagle of California does the
land tortoise on which 1t feeds.
Even today there are few carnivo-
rous animals, whether birds or beasts,
which have so wide a range Of prey
as the eagles. Like the HINGED drag
ons of old story, they can ravage
earth, air and sea and feed promiscu-
ously on the denizens of all three ele-
ments. From serpents on the burning
desert to seals on the everlasting ice,
from monkeys in the tropical forests
to marmots on the Alpine slopes, from
dead sheep on highland hills to pea
cocks in the Indian jungles, no form Of
fish, flesh or fowl comes amiss to them,
and the young eagle, driven by the in
exorable law of his race from the home
where he was reared, finds a free
breakfast table wherever be flies
