three years ago, and has been dis

Arlington national cemetery to the Old
Mount Vernon mansion. The way lies
along an elevated ridge, bordering the
Potomac, from which a beautiful
view of that noble river and surround
ing country can be had. The idea as
it has been discussed is for the states
now representing the Is original colo
MES each to take in charge one mile
of this avenue, build the road, and
suitably beautify it. This, it is be-
lieved, would insure the proper care
of the drive, and make it one of the
most beautiful and impressive in the
world, far exceeding in significance
and attraction the famous "Unter Den
Linden" of Germany's capital.
Such a project. if carried to COM
pletion, would mean a perfect and
handsome driveway from Washington
City to Mount Vernon, and it is be-
lieved would become exceedingly popu-
lar in addition to it's historic signifi-
canoe. There is now a splendid road
from the limits of the city to Airing
ton cemetery, the ancient home of the
Custises and the Lees. Adjoining Ar
lington is the military reservation Of
Fort Myer, now one of the best-ap-
pointed military posts in the country.
If the avenue of the 13 original
states were built, it is suggested
tht memorial arches and other means
of perpetuating the history of the
first confederation could be built,
and the driveway be lined with shade

HUN TING REWARD
INTERESTING SKETCH OF TRIALS
AND DANGERS OF MR.. FOX.
New Hampshire Farmers Use Gun and
Hounds Against Him, But the
Naturalist Finds Him an
Interest ting Study.

In the vicinity of my home in New
Hampshire, foxes are among the COM
mOnest of the wild animals. No one
even hopes for their total eXtermina-
tion-the possibility of such thing is
too remote even to excite a hope. For
my part, l am pleased that they are
here, for l see them often, and l am
seldom too busy to watch fox. Some
times they may be seen crossing the
road at dusk, just moving shadows in
the uncertain light, but more often l
get glimpse OF one in broad daylight,
while he is busy catching grasshop-
pers in some field. With his head on
one side, his ears cooked forward, and
with his sharp nose pointing to some
object in the grass, he stands for a
moment, rigid with attention. Then
he leaps upward in a graceful arch,
and alights with all four feet close to-
gether Usually the grasshOpper is UNI
derneath, and the sharp muzzle is
poked down between the paws to bring
the luckless insect out.
My neighbors do not seem to enjoy
seeing a fox quite so much as L do.
They usually get their glimpses of
him at night, after being awakened by
the sQuawking OF the hens, and often
enough they see him leave the prem
Uses with Ona of their choicest brOilers
in his jaw.
The other day, neighbor of mine
declared his intention of going fox
hunting on the following morning, and
invited me to go with him. l accepted
the invitation, and next day met him
in his yard at daylight. He had gun
himself, and offered to loan me one,
but | declined with thanks, as | d.
not keep chickens, and therefore have
no personal quarrel with the foxes.
Behind the barn, four foxhounds were
chained, and we went round to loose
them.
We were scarcely cut of the yard
when the two old dogs struck out in
to the wet fields with noses to the
ground, and we could see only their
backs and tails, as they shot from
place to place through the grass. Pres
emily we entered a piece of woodland,
and in less than ten minutes we heard
the deep "yow-yow' of one of the old
hounds as he struck the trail of fox.
My companion now Slipped the young
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1904-10-20

dogs, and soon the little pack was in
full cry, and tearing along in single,
file through the forest and over The
mountain side, their musical voices
echoing among the hills for miles.
A fox, cunning as he is, has certain
habits which frequently favor the hun
ter. For instance, when running be-
fore the hounds he often has a regular
route, perhaps some miles in length,
over which he leads the dogs over anil
over again. The hunter, seeing the
legs go by the first time, hot on Rey-
nardS trail, can Secrete himself near
the path, knowing that there is fair
chance of getting the fox on his next
round. To be sure, the crafty little
creature is apt to vary his course more
OF less, but the experienced fox-hunter
knows that there are certain points;
along the trail which are more likely
to be visited than others, and of course
he chooses one of these points for his
stand" This is just what my COM
panion did. We saw the dogs go past
below ridge of high ground which
overlooked valley, and presently we
were crouching behind the stump of
tree, waiting for the coming of the
fox. Some 20 yards below us, a rock
jutted out of the hillside, and my
neighbor assured me that there was
every probability that the enemy
would come to that rock. He had al
ready shot three foxes there from his
present hiding place. The voices OF
the hounds sounded fainter and faint
er, and finally died away in the dis
lance, and the man with the gun said
that it might be 20 minutes before we
heard them again. At last we again
heard the baying of the hounds, which
had been almost round the hill, and
which were now approaching us as
fast as they could travel. l looked In
the direction of the sound, and far
away, in the field Of light-colored, sun
burnt grass, caught a glimpse of
red; it was fox. 1t disappeared, and
then I saw it again, coming straight
in our direction. In it's path there
was large tree-stump, and upon this
it leaped, sat down and looked straight
in our direction. I felt sure it did not
see us, for neither of us had moved a
muscle, and a fox, like many other
wild animals, is comparatively indif-
ferent to motionless objects. 1t did
not seem the least uneasy, though it
must have heard the dogs plainly
enough. At last it turned it's head
towards them, for an instant, and in
that instant my companion brought
his gun to his shoulder. The little ami
NAL was too far away for him to risk
a shot at it, but it would be nearer
presently. 1t slipped down from the
stump and passed along under the hill
until it reached the rock, upon which
it leaped to look back in the direction
of the dogs. For one instant it stood
bright-eyed, alert and beautiful; then
came loud bang" and it tumbled
down the hillside. kicking, to rest al
last against tuft of goldenrod, a linz
and ragged mass of fur.

ANTARCTIC SECRETS.
MANY OF THEM DISCOVERED BY
CAPT. SCOTT AND HIS CREW.
Expedition to the South Pole Returns
and the Full Extent Of the
Work of the Explorers
Is Learned.

The Discovery is safe home again in
Portsmouth harbor after an absence Of
three years, and the fruits of the labors
of the Antarctic Research expedition
are apparent and have more than full
filled the high expectations which were
raised by the reports brought back by
the relief ship Morning, and by the
dispatches which the Discovery has
given out at the various points where
she has touched since leaving the vast
ice fields of the great antarctic circle.
When the wonderful story of this ex-
petition is known it proves itself to be
"the best conducted and most successful
expedition that has ever enter into polar
regions, arctic or antarctic" as Sir

study means of
conserving the public health. These
learned gentlemen have experimental
a great deal, and are satisfied that
they have discovered a safe and cheap
method in the use of copper sulphate.
They do not want to force their rem
edy upon the people, but they have
been limiting very strongly that the
District of Columbia offers a field for
a trial of their discovery. They want
to put this copper sulphate in the city
reservoirs, and they also recommend
that for simple drinking purposes wa
ter be placed in copper vessels and al
lowed to stand a few hours.
The district authorities, however, do
not take kindly to the suggestions of
the government experts. They de-
clined to allow the copper sulphate
experiment to be tried on the dog"
They have ignored the recommends
ton regarding the use of copper ves-
sells, and when the public schools
opened a few days ago they insisted
that the children be irrigated with
boiled water. This, they claim. is the
only practical method so far found
of exterminating germs. They have
supplied the schoolhouses with old
fashioned tin wash boilers, in which
the water to be used by the children is
boiled. Now come the government
experts with cry of horror that wa
ter boiled in these tin vessels, contain
ing a large percentage of lead, is poi
sonous, and so the controversy goes
on. In the meantime, in spite of all
the agitation, the number of typhoid
cases is gradually diminishing.
