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 hotiy
chased by hounds. The fox had run
some twenty miles, and while crossing
an open stretch of country was in dan
ger of being run down and killed. In
a field through which the fox was run
ming with the hounds close to its heels
was the cellar of an old house, with
portion of the walls still standing.
The fox made straight for the old eel
lar, leaped into it and made its es-
cape 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 a trap, as the hole
in the wall through which the fox had
escaped was too small to permit them
to get through.
When the hunters rode up they found
the pack in trap, with one of the
hounds wedged fast in the hole
through which the fox had made its es-
cape. By the time the hounds were
gotten out of the cellar the fox was
safe in its hole.-Philadelph Times.

Germ.n Emneror at Work.

The correspondence addressed to the
emperor is enormous, but the bulk of
it, chiefly petitions, is opened and dealt
with in the civil cabinet, only the let
ters of princely personages and others
of which the handwriting is recognized
being opened by him personally, says
Good Words. These have to be replied
to either by himself or by secretaries,
according to marginal notes made by
him, and then the cuttings from vari-
GUS newspapers, pasted in folios. are
laid before him.
Each of the chief ministers of state.
and heads of departments of the army
and navy has one or two fixed days of
the week on which he is received by
the emperor and at these interviews
all business connected with the depart
ment is transacted and his orders TAX
en- on all matters requiring such. Va
rious interviews are also accorded in
the forenoon to officers and others who
have reports to make and thus the day
is filed up till luncheon, meal the
emperor always takes with the empress
and his elder children, the younger
ones Joining the circle afterward. Usu-
ally there are one or two guests and
quite a small suite in attendance at
the midday meal, which is light and
very simple.
The afternoon is taken up with more
work and then the emperor, frequently
accompanied by the empress, rides,
drives or plays tennis for a couple of
hours, returning in time for more work
before dinner, which is at in summer
and 8 In winter. Work again follows
dinner and precedes an early retire
ment to bed. Such is the normal pro-
gram of the emperor's day; but, as
may be imagined, it is frequently
broken in upon by military duties and
inspections, by representations, espe-
cially in winter, when numerous re-
ceptions, balls. festivals, concerts and
state dinners take place. and by polit-
ical business.

the alleged champion addressed them
challenging any of their number to step
forward If they thought they had a
chance.
George Collins, remembering the days
of his youth, accepted the challenge
and stepped forward into the circle.
Naturally there were shouts of derision
at the gray hairs and the bent form,
but the two men went to work with a
will. At first the old man made a lift
or what he thought was one-and the
machine registered 600 pounds. The
youth tried his hand and had difficulty
in reaching TOO pounds. Collins tried
again and made it 800 pounds, which
the young man increased to $50 pounds.

yet not only one but many winters did
she make this canvass, and after ten
wears Of effort on the part of herself
and a few associates the Legislature
began to yield.
Undaunted by abuse, SANDER and
threats of violence. and strong in their
sense Of justice, Susan B. Anthony and
few companions went steadily for
ward, blazing the way which is now
SO smooth and fiowery for the millions
of women banded together in organi
cations and holding their great public
meetings. Scores and scores of conven-
tions. alone and almost unaided, she
has originated and carried through to

The first memorial ever sent to Con-
gress asking for the enfranchisement
of women was prepared by Miss
Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton
in 1867. They, with others, organized
in 1869, in New York City, the first Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association.
The same year the American Associa-
ton was organized in Cleveland. Twen-
ty years later the two consolidated.

Miss Anthony never could be per-
suaded to fill the office of President of
the association when it was possible to
persuade Mrs. Stanton to do so, but
with that lady's family affairs in early
days, and lecture engagements In later
years, the former was acting president
much of the time, and from 1879 Vice

gavel might be transferred to Miss An
thony, and the delegates yielded to her
wishes.

Years Retired from the Presidency of

1as retired from the presidency of the

lion, and to whom, in honor of her
eightieth birthday, grand reception
was rendered in Washington, has been
l remarkable one. She made her first
speech in public in 1S49. at Canajoharie,
N. T., where she was teaching in the
academy. Her subject was the rela-
lion of women to temperance. Two
years later, at Rochester, N. Y,

became interested in the anti-slavery

had made the acquaintance of Garrison,
Phillips, Greeley, Pillsbury, Douglass.

For several years she worked. might

indignant at being "snubbed and insult
ed" by the mems conventions and dis
gusted with the subserviency of wom-

the emancipation of her sex. From this
decision she never has swerved, except
during those years when she labored
for the freedom of the negroes. She
has been mobbed again and again, and
often has held her ground when every

At the present time it is difficult to
conceive the ridicule and contempt
heaped on the pioneers in this move
