Commissioner of Education Harris is
slowly but steadily decreasing. In

Fordham and of westchester county
in general have been victims of a.
strange apparation consisting for the
most part OF two green eyes peering
out Of strange hooks and corners in
the darkness and accompanied by Wig
orous attacks of imagination on the
part of the victims.
The first thing that was known OF
the lynx was when the hen roosts OF
Highbridge were robbed and the man
gled bodies of chickens left half eaten.
Then policemen at the Highbridge
station, pacing long and lonely beats
along the swamps. woodland paths
and side-hills of the Bronx, came in
with complaints that they had felt
all night as though some one were
following them and staring at them
from behind trees and rocks. They
had turned again and again to see
who was shadowing them. but never
saw anything. Old Adirondack guides
would have smiled at these reports
and said "Loacifeesi" This is the
back country name for the lynx. an
animal that grows as large as a big
dog and has a bob-tail and short
prick ears with tasseis on them. The

and big one will make trouble for
