4 gentleman whose word cannot be
doubted and who is not easily deceived
tells the following:
Very early one morning he saw fox
eying most wistfully number Of wild
ducks feeding in the rushy end of a
highland lake. After awhile the fox,
going to windward of the ducks, put
afioat in the lake several punches of
dead rushes or grass, which fioated
down among the ducks without caus-
ing the least alarm.
After watching the effect of his pre-
lIminary feet for a short time the fox.
taking a good sized mouthfui of grass
in his jaws. launched himself into the
water as quietly as possible, having
nothing but the tips of his ears and
nose above water.
In this way he drifted down among
the ducks and caught fine mallard.
Though this story seems eXtraordi-
nary, it must be remembered that the
fox manages TO capture wild ducks,
wood pigeons, hares and numberless
other animals. sufficient to keep him
self and family, and it is plain to be
seen that in doing so he must practice
many a trick that would seem improb-
able If related and quite beyond the in

prejudiced witness against the admin
istr4tiOn

The Sangamon county friends OF
Senator Cullom have issued an adj
dress to the republicans in Illinois, in
which they charge Gov. Tanner and
his machine with rather questionable
practices in the effort to control the
county convention. which. according
to the figures shown in the statement,
was honestly and by all rights for
Cullom. The statement, issued in
pamphlet form. is signed by Carey Z.
Barnes, Bluford Wilson, William K.
Freeman, a. q Murray and Charles E
Selby, and it claims that more than a
year ago, with a view to its use in
any emergency that might arise, Gov.
Tanner began the formation Of a per-
sonal political organization in Sanga-
mon county. From time to time this
personal organization was perfected
by the skillful disposition of state
Offices and other official patronage at
the governors disposal" The pam
phlet goes into detail to show how the
machinery of the state has thus been
converted into political institution,
operating for the advancement of the
aspirations of the governor of the
state
