hounds were running it across the open

to see a much larger fox come from

the hounds, and when they struck the
stronger track of the bigger fox they
took it up. young Ravnard thereby be-

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 twenty miles. and while crossing
an open stretch of country was in dam
ger of being run down and killed. In
a field through which the fox was run

MIR. Heath Writes an Official Letter on
"PoIiticaI Activity.a


In a letter to Representative Minor,
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath has set forth the attitude of the
Postefiiee Department on the political
activity" OF postmasters. The letter
says:
Office holders are neither disfranchis-
ed nor forbidden the exercise of political
privileges. A just discrimination in this
regard is easy, in the light of correct
appreciation OF the relation between the
people and those intrusted with official
place This has been construed by the
Postmaster General to forbid postmas-
tiers from making their postoiiiees the rem
devious Of politicians, and the place
where political subjects are discussed,
and also forbidding them from neglect
ing their duties by oyeractiyity in polit-
ical matters but it is not intended to pre-
vent postmasters from the free exercise
OF all their privileges, the same as any
other good citizen
