FOXES DEvOUR THEIR YOUNG.
This Is shown to BE n Fact by an
Instance in Bronx Park
On. W Zoo.

In the New York Geological society's
collection in the Bronx park there
were until recently two young red
foxes which had been born in the cage.
When | saw them they were bout two
weeks old, and rather timid; in looks
they were very much like bushy-tailed
and red-eared rats, though quite pre-
possessing. The mother had burrowed
under the asphalt of the den, where it
was nice and cold and damp (this was
in the early spring., and there she
kept her cubs. 1t was not an ideal
home for them, but she preferred it to
her man-made kennel, relates writer
in Woman's Home Componion.
In order to be photographed the
cubs were removed from their dens by
keeper, and subsequently handled by
others. Then they were put into the
kennel, which was warm and com
Portable. For this that very night they
paid forfeit with their lives; the next
morning naught but their masks re-
manned. The parents had killed and
eaten them. For this reason it is next
to impossible to rear young foxes in
captivity; sooner or later it will be-
come imperative that they be handled
or moved, and then they die.

The Case of Crooked Leg which

A year or two after William Mckinley

fashion in one of his first successful cases
As often happens in court, the humor was
not merely for the sake of the Joke. but for
serious purpose. Mr.. Edward T. Roe. in

tells the story:
The case was a suit against a surgeon.

and had him expose the injured limb to the
jury. It was very crooked, and the case
looked bad for the surgeon But Mckinley
had both his eyes open, as usual, and fixed
them keenly on the mans other leg.
As soon as the plaintiff was turned over
to him, he asked that the other leg should
also be barred. The plaintiff and Nc
Sweeney objected vigorously, but the Judge
ordered it done. Then it appeared that his
second leg was still more crooked than that

TRIALS OF A TENDERFooT.
when He Gets Out West He Finds
That There Are Many Things
TO Learn.

A tenderfoot from the east was try
ing hard to get the hang of things in
the mining district. He had acquired
tolerable proficiency in the use Of
rough language, could tote a gun"
with moderate grace, wear sombrero
rakishly, and ride a mustang or a
broncho more than passably. But he
had not tackled the liquor. That was
feat to make the boldest pause and
think twice. Discreetly he undertook
his initiation alone, but for the evil
spirits and the barkeeper.
Flinging his money on the bar. he
demanded whisky with an expletive.
The barkeeper turned, took down
bottle and glass, placed them upon the
bar, the bottle at the right of his GUS
toner, the glass at the left, relates a
writer in Lippincott's. At the left Of
the glass he placed a small whisk broom,
and quietly resumed his reading of
thumb-worn book of terrors and hor-
cors.
The tenderfoot was all off his reck-
onings. He didn't know what on earth
to do with the broom. The man be-
hind the bar paid no attention to him.
He hated to ask questions. He de-
cided to await developments, to throw
himself upon fate. And fate was with
him. Presently the sheriff walked in,
threw down a coin. cussed the bar
keeper, and ordered liquor. Without
word the caterer handed down the
bottle, glass and a whisk broom,
placing them in the same order as be-
fore. In his right hand the sheriff
seized the bottle firmly, while in his
left he clutched the glass almost des-
perately. He filled it to the brim from
the bottle. He drank down the con-
tents with a spasmodic, but an he
role, gulp. Then he seized the broom,
hurried to the wall, rapidly swept the
dirt from a place large enough for his
purpose, lay down and had a fit. Then
the tenderfoot knew how to proceed.

his sleep was dreamless.
IF it is so, l will kill her!" NUT
tered old Castro, as he at last drew
near the ranch, and with native cum
ming he cautiously turned out his
horse and sneaked into the house
without word or alarm. His wife was
rot in her room. He sought her in
two or three others, and then, with
eyes blazing with fury, he opened the
door of the officers room and made
her out as she knelt beside the BID.
Drawing his long, keen knife, chuck
ling in his throat with satisfaction,
he began stealing across the room.
He had covered two-thirds of the dis
lance and was reaching out his left
hand to grasp the woman by the hair
when he suddenly leaped back and
uttered a shrek. 1t was followed by
another and another, and amid
screams he dashed among the tents
of the soldiers to fall down and
writhe and SILVER and die.
Come on" said the sergeant to
his men, as he lighted a torch and adj
vanced toward the house.
They followed him through the
open door and across the public room
to that of the officer. The glare of
the torch showed four tarantulas
crawling about on the floor. 1t
showed a dead woman kneeling by
the bedside. 1t showed dead man
lying on his back with eyes half
open and a look of terror on his
face.
81 told him she was a she-devill"
muttered the sergeant, "but he has
found it out too late. Sunny South,

OUTWITTED AN IRATE PARENT
He Drove Ahead and Waited for the
Train and There Was n Min
lister Aboard.

1t was one of those milk trains you
read about now and then as loafing
through the darkness, making stops
at every barn along the road to clatter
hundred or so cans into the baggage
cars and to annoy the life out of the
lonely passenger. 1t was on such a
train that the writer found himself
with reverend doctor one night, COM
ng into New York from a place
called Ketchawan, relates the New
York Tribune.
This is bad enough, but have you
ever travelled on one of those indie
pendent branch southern railroads ?"
the doctor asked. Il was ensnared in
one of those meshes of Satan once. A
young couple, much excited and out of
breath, boarded the train, and never
breathed even a sigh of relief until
the old engine began to pull out of the
station. 1t was evident at a glance
the two were clipping, but they had got
off all right without any parent APP
pearing, and they had the sympathy
of the crew.
Leaving the station, however, did
not count for much on that line. The
train hobbled along, stopping at every
crossing, and by the time we reached
our destination who do you suppose
stood there? The irate father. He
had driven ahead of the train with his
old mule, and, l afterward learned,
had been waiting for 20 minutes with
blood in his eye to interrupt the cere-
mony."
But why didn't you perform it OH
the train?" asked.
Il did," said the reverend doctor.

him, was furious at being so familiar
ly and rndely addressed by an infer
iOr, and his vanity as a man had also
received a shock. He was engaged
to girl in the east, and would marry
her as soon as he had won the bars
of first lieutenant, but it pleased
and fattered him to think that a
woman out there beyond civilization
had been caught by his face and fig
ure. He had not even stopped to re-
feet that she was of another race
and already a wife. Not that he
meant anything serious should come
of it, but that it fiattered the ego
tism every young man has a fair
share of.
If the words of the blunt old
sergeant angered the officer, they
also opened his eyes, and there was
less dallying and more riding. The
woman was quick to see that he had
teen warned, and she exerted all her
influence as an offset. Indeed. she

what she meant for a Irritation to
blind his eyes turned out to be a
case of love on her part. She really
and truly fell in love with the Young
officer, and suggested an elopement.
She would leave her husband-home

ton. Then it was that he began to
realize the seriousness of affairs and

He attempted by GOODNESS of de-
meanor and sensible arguments to
bring the woman back to reason. but
she was deaf to his words and blind
to all perils. There were those hang
ing about the ranch who sent word
of the matter to old Castro, and
when the messenger reached him he
swore to be avenged.
The patrol had been detailed for a
month. The officer alone occupied
quarters in the adobe ranch house,
while the men had their tents out
side and not far away. Three weeks
passed. Castro's wife had flirted,
fallen in love, and been scorned. That
is, young FOrbush had rejected the
idea of an elOpement, and was no
longer playing with fire, while Castro
was on his way home to wreak re-
venge on his foolish, if not faithless
wife. Thus matters stood one even
ing when the woman sat down in her
room with rage and jealousy gnawing
at her heart-the rage because she
had been scorned-iealousy because
the officer had admitted that he had
a sweetheart to whom he would be
faithful. She knew that her conduct
had been open to censure, and that
word had gone to her husband, and
she would be held to account. She sat
i'll the darkness for an hour, brood
ing and planning; at last she rose,
passed into another room and took
box from the cupboard. In the box
were four tarantulas, which had been
caught and imprisoned to be shipped
away - the horrid, hairy spiders of
the west, whose bite means death.
With the box under her arm she
paused at the officers door and lis
tened to his deep breathing for
time. Then she pushed the door open
and entered the room, walking over
the hard earthen floor with her bare
feet. The moonlight streamed in at
the window and showed her the man

An artist Who was making a sketching
tour through picturesque region of Con.

Turing to his eye that ne sat down on a
stone wall and went to work at once, relates
an exchange.
He soon became conscious that he had
two interested spectators in the persons OF
the farmer and his wife, who had come to
the door of the house to watch him.
The artist by and by discovered that he
had lost or mislaid his rubber eraser, and
as he wished to correct slight error in the
sketch he went up to the door and asked
the farmers wife if he might have a small
piece of dry bread. This as every artist
knows, makes a good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him with an
expression of pity not unmixed with sur
prise.
DRY bread" she repeated. "Wen. I
guess you won't have to put up with any
dry bread from me, young man. You come
right into the kitchen with me and III
