MILFORD FOX HUNTERS HELD up.

To those in Milford and vicinity to
whom the deep notes of pack of
hounds sounds like the sweetest music
have again aroused the ire of certain
farmer near Milford because fleet foot
ed reynard was tralled across his
peach orchard, the pride and Joy of his
heart.
For a considerable time the farmers
who live IN the locality near the haunts
OF Willy reynard have objected to fox
chasing going on over their farms, and
much friction between the hornev-
handed tillers Ofthe soil and the sports
men have been the result.
On Monday morning of last week a
large company of men aud a larger
company of dogs went to the Three
Bridges, which is situated between
Lincoln and Glendale, and proceeded
to hunt for the trail of reward. A
hot scent was soon struck and an ex-
citing chase took place. The fox was
seen to cross a corner of Whitehead's
peach orchard; the dogs were called.
but only two responded. These were
secured and tied to await the arrival of
the rest of the pack. Harry Latchum.
one of the crowd, took one of the dogs
by the collar and started to walk
through the orchard. thinking that he
could probably strike the trail when
suddenly the stiffness was broken bv a |
number of rifle reports. Several bull

number of those in the road thought
that they had been hit. Fred White

COVERED DISHES.

The Reason They Were introduced
During the Middle Ages.
From the days when our ancestors
took their food in their hands and ate
II with as little ceremony as Il dog
gnaWs bone to the present time of
elaborate dinners is a long step. but
gradual one. 1t was a number of CEN
turles before dishes of any kind were
used. and knives and forks as adiuncts
10 eating are later still. The fear Of
poison which haunted the mind of
every person of quality during the mid
ole ages gave rise to certain curious
customs and even to certain supersti-
tons When dishes are now served
covered, it is understood that it is
merely for the purpose of keeping them
warm. This was not, however. the
principal reason why they were not
served covered during the dark ages.
1t was the fear that poison might be
introduced into them surreptitiously
between the kitchen and the table
where they were to be served to the
kings or the lords or even to persons
of inferior rank
The covers were not removed till the
master of tie house had taken his
place. All dishes afterward served
were brought on the table in the same
manner. 1t was the custom originally
when the dishes We're uncovered for
some of the servants to first partake
OF them, but this custom was after
ward in part replaced by the servants
.ouching the food with one of several
objects which were regarded as infalH-
Die preservatives against poison.
