you failed to get onto this interesting
sensation and my arrest-the Daily

A Very Foxy FOx.

A 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 Il
highland lake. After awhile the fox.
going to windward of the ducks, put
afoat 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-
llminary feet for short time the fox.
taking good sized mouthful 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 drlfted 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 II is plain to be
seen that in doing so he must practice
many trick that would seem improb-
able II related and quite beyond the In
stlnct of animals.-Omaha World-Her-
