An Incident That shows Reynard's Pow

A we'll authenticated story comes

rove that foxes, IL they have not eual

by John B. Evans, chairman Of the
Republican state committee; J. c. l..
Harris, secretary of that committee;
r. W. Logan, the United States COM
missioner, and ]. ID. Miller One
morning recently they were fox hunt
ing. The weather was cool and crisp
and there was just enough jampness
on the leaves and grass to give the
dogs good scent. A fox was soon un-
earthed and kept running in a circle
about three miles In extent A knoll
in the center overlooked the entire
course and after the hunt had con-
tinued for some considerable time
the fox made for giant and venera-
BILE chestnut tree which had fallen
across ravine. Into the hollow tree
dashed the fox. the dogs behind about
$50 yards behind. Reynard was seen
to emerge from the other end of the
log and soon made off through the
forest.
The dogs were thrown of the scent
at the hollow log, but soon caught it
again across the ravine and kept up
the chase for about half an hour or
more. Then the fox once more
disappeared in the hollow log to-
emerge as before. The dogs again
trailed on, but in about another thir-
ty minutes the fox for the third time
entered the log and still again disap-
peared In the forest across the ravine.
The dogs were about used up by this
time, though the fox appeared to be
quite fresh after the third trip through
the log. The hunters noticed this un,
accountable circumstances and began
to suspect something. They securely
closed up one end of the log and when
Reynard for the fourth time entered
they closed up the other end. Then
they procured axes and cut into the
tree. Their reward came in the shape
of three foxes. which had evidently
been racing the dogs by turns.

Sewing as n Summer Fad.

Sewing is fashionable. Not all
women who want to be in fashion can
sew anything worth having. but some
of them have good knack at 1t. The
making of stocks and collars has tend
ed to cultivate the almost forgotten
art among women, and almost every
one who goes away this summer takes
with her some of this sort of work to
do. 1t looks we'll and is not without
its effect upon the masculine mind. A
woman engaged in needlework on q
hotel piazza is sure to win approval
If she has other qualities as well. Some
women who really desire to make
things as we'll as to produce an effect
take with them small sewing machines
which are inexpensive and take up lit
