THE TRICK THE FOX PLAYED

But the fox said: Would you not
rather have fish for dinner7-'
The wolf replied that, on the whole,
he thought he would prefer fish. Then
the cunning fox told him Of the trick by
which he had just got his own dinner,
and advised him 20 try II. The wolf
was pleased at the idea, and so ne ran
through the woods and headed of the
team which the fishermen were driving,
falling down IN the road In front OF II
and pretending 10 be dead. But the
fishermen, who had by this time discov-
cred the trick the fox had played upon
them. instead OF taking him into the
wagon, beat him with clubs so that he
barely escaped with his life. And on a
hillside nearby sat the fox, who laughed
and laughed and laughed.

Zebras as Beasts Of Burden.

South African native traditions
have it that in the long-forgotten days
the zebra was domesticated animal
and was held in complete subsection
by it's master, man. In modern times
several attempts have been made to
train this hardy beast. Experiments
at the London geological gardens in.
dictate that zebras can be readily
made serviceable. There are innu-
merable herds of zebras running wild
in South Africa and if they could be
broken to domestic use their subjec-
ton would solve a problem which for
generations has been puzzle to the
best experts. For the zebras of South
Africa are immune from the tsetse
fly and the horse sickness which has
lately been ravaging Rhodesia and
other portions of the continent.

SISTERS OF KOREA.
Women Are Excluded From Masculine

Women Are Excluded From Masculine
Eyes.
The women of the commonalty are
voluble and vixenish, and ever ready
to slap a handful of stars into the
eyes of husband-or into those of a
timid and shrinking tourist-should
the occasion arise. The women of the
upper class are vigorously excluded
from masculine eyes, and a hearty
vote OF thanks is due the committee
who fathered this unwritten law. The
dainty little Japanese musmee, teet-
ering along in sandals or on wooden
geat is genuine relief to the eye
after view of the uncomely Korean
female, and it is pleasing reflection
that Nippon is slowly but surely
spreading her standard over the Her.
NIT Realm.
Until Korean boys are married and
acquire the pseudo dignity of the top
knot, their hair is worn girl fashion
in twin plates down their backs. So
much do they resemble girls that it
is sometimes difficult to determine the
sex, and one is oftentimes uncommon.
ly' surprised to observe what he is
positive are two girls sprawling and
viciously fighting in a Korean street.

Col. John S. Cunningham, a we'll
known North Carolinian, who was in
Washington the other day, is an in
teresting Southern type. He loves
the good things of life, but, on occa-
sion, is capable of fervid religious ex-
hortation. Members of the North
Carolina delegation are relating this
story of him:
A few months ago Col. Cunningham,
by invitation, addressed large as
sembly of negroes in his native coun-
ty.> He had just returned from a
trip to Philadelphia and had visited
Grad college. He gave his audi fence
vivid description of that institution
and brought tears to the eyes of the
colored people as he dwelt upon the
appropriation of money for such a
great refuge for the orphan. He then,
in another strain, with equal realism,
painted the horrors Of the hereafter
awaiting bad negroes. His supersti-
tious hearers groaned with terror.
Shortly afterward a. friend of the
colonel's met an old-ti1he darkey in
the big road. Il never knowed Mars

A Good Secret to Know.

A man went to nose and throat
specialist the other day to have his
cold cured. AS he was paying not
small sum for the first treatment he
said: How long does it take you tc
cure a cold?"
''Three weeks" said the specialist
''And how long would it take me tc
get well if I didn't come to your

''Twenty-one days." said the special
ist.
And it wasn't until the patient was
halfway home that he suddenly stop

to laugh or get angry. He finally de

learned was worth the price he haG
paid for it. It's good secret tc
