don't sing, would it?"

have some great monster come along
and eat you up just because you did
not sing nicely?"
"Oh, but, mamma" cried Mabel,

SURPRISING FINISH OF \ SOUTH
POMFRET FOX HUNT.

Moses got the tail, and there is no
doubt about it, for Moses won't lie
and he says so, but some think be-
cause the pith slipped away with the
fox that he didn't set but part OF
it. Moses Shi pman and Mr.. Cottle
from down country, with hound,
ran, chased and shot at fox for
two or three days, more or less, and
finally holed him. They decided to
did him out. They dug for, nobody
knows Just how long, till they got
within reach. Then Moses grabbed
the fox by the tail with both hands,
and Mr.. Co,tle seized with both
hands the hair on it's back. Then
the fox gave wisgle, Il twist and
IA jump and left them like shot
from gun. Instead of Selling their
guns ana shooting. they stood mo-
tionleS> for Il long. long time, Moses
with all the hair of the tail in his
hands and Cottle with his hands full
of the hair Of the back, while the
fox vert over the hills and far away.
