KILLS A FOX.
Attorney Lowry Bags Beautiful
Specimen OF the Reynard Family.

The hunting record for this sea-
son will probably be accorded to Ed.
M. Lowry till further notice, and
Delos Edwards and Lester Bidwell
will share in the honors. The three
gentlemen were hunting on the
farm owned by Mr.. Bidwell some
miles northwest Of the city last Sun
day, and had with them couple of
fine foxhound pups, one belonging
to Mr.. Edwards and the other to
Mr.. Bidwell. The rabbits were
thick, and the pups had limiting to
delight their doggish hearts.
Mr.. Lowry had walked up on a
hill and was looking for game there,
while Edwards and Bidwell fol-
lowed the dogs up a ravine. The
hounds were following a rabbit, and
finally got it out where Edwards
could shoot it, which he succeeded
in doing. The dogs followed the
trail up to where the rabbit lay,
when to the surprise of the hunters
they passed on beyond it, suddenly
changing their cry to a higher,
sharper note. Mr.. Lowry noted the
change, and was on the lookout for
the game. He could hear the dogs
running over the leaves and through
the underbrush, but could hear no
sound made by the hunted animal.
Suddenly his eye caught a move
ment in the underground, and the
next instant a tawny body glided
stealthily out into full view, and
he saw magnificent red fox about
thirty yards from him. The fox
ran without the least perceptible
noise, and looked back from time
to time to see if the dogs were gain
ing, but did not catch sight of Mr..
Lowry. It did not take the Lam
caster attorney long to determine
his course of action, and when he
had decided he was not afflicted
with the complaint called ''buck
ague" so prevalent among hunters
in like positions, he fired, and
MANNED the fox badly with the
heavy charge of shot. It ran on
for perhaps hundred yards, how
ever, when it turned and faced the
dogs, full of fight; but it was so
badly wounded that it could not in
jure them. The puppies were fran
tic in their delight at their achieve
ment, and will doubtless be strong
fox dogs for the rest of. their lives.
Mr.. Lowry brought the fox to town
with him, and intends to have it
mounted for preservation.

Views and Interviews

DR.. Rafferty,: If the people of
Lancaster who glory over the few
short stretches of cement walk
which this city possesses, could see
the way Boscobel has kept up with
the times in this respect they
would have nothing more to say.
Cement is in the excess of plank
there, and the walks are all well
laid. Their cemetery is about the
same distance from town that ours
is, and they have a good cement
walk extending clear out to it.

There is rugged beauty about
the oaks possessed by no other of
our forest trees-a sturdy, storm
defylng, independent type of forest
life which makes them to other
trees what the Norseman is to the
Italian or Hindoo. They meet the
oncoming winter in a khaki uni
form and sturdily dare the wintry
blasts to do their worst. Slow of
growth and long lived, they typify
the growth of the country. j,

which is not theological abstraction but an incentive to personal righteous ness. Tn the word are set forth many incentives the fact of the constant, eager contest between good and evil, and the securitny and permanence of a life committed to Christ. Evil passes away but good abides, says the Bible. sAnd,' said Dr. Hall, T have seen this fulfilled" A glorious incentive is the thought that by letting our light shine before men we can glorify our Father in heaven"--a high thought. The fact that the sphere of man for usefulness ever widens urges one to righteousness. My heart fills with joy" he said, when think what will be the influence of some of the men here" The final in- .centive is the knowledge that good will triumph, and we will ~'shine forth as the sun"
 "A year ago was in northern India" concluded President Hall. T saw the sun rise over the high mountains and shrine in golden splendor across the broad rice fields, and felt it prophecy of the time when the night of wrong will be over. May I have some infiu- ence in persuading you to take right |eousness as your standard. He that hath ears to ear let him hear"

CHARLES CUTHBERT HALLS

Address on Incentives to Personal
 Righteousness" at Battell Chapel.
 The Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall of the Union Theological seminary, New York delivered the sermon in Battell chapel yesterday. He made an appeal to the Yale men which was full of earnestness but was not given dre att tention by those present. The Scrip ture lesson was the parable of the wheat and tares. Dr. Hall said that the parable showed that Chrits recognized that good and evil are hontemporane- ously present in the world, noncreted in human lives. It shows the progress of good and there shines forth the splen- did assurance of the ultimate vcitory of God. Dr. Hall spoke first of the glory of personal righteousness, which should be an ever present ambition.
 There are various incentives to this righteousness. It is becoming ever clearer that though men are saved only by Christ's blood. yet there must be a personal element, present usefulness in their lives, ful,lling his sacrifice.

HAS A SAY.

Inc School Pr incipai Talks about Food. The Principal of high school in a purishing California city says: For 23 years I worked in the school fith only short summer vacations. I brmed the habit of eating rapidly mas |cated poorly which coupled with my Edentary work, led to indigestion, liver fouble, lame back and rheumatism. |"Upon consulting physicians some Pped me with drugs, while others pre- ! ribed dieting and sometimes I got i |mporory relief, other times not. For
 years I struggled along with this |hndicap to my work, seldom laid up, 1t often burden to myself with lame- bss and rheumatic pains.
 Two years ago I met an old friend, a ysician, who noticed at once my out health condition and who prescribed me an exclusive diet of Grape-Nuts, ilk and fruit.
 1T followed his instructions, and in To months I felt like a new man, with
 more headaches, rheumatism or liv-
 trouble, and from that time to this rape Nuts has been my main food for Orning and evening meals, am strong
 and healthier than I have been for lars, without trace of the old trou- es.
 Judging from my present vigorous ysical and mental state, I tell my ople Methuselah may yet have to ke second place among the old men, feel like I will live a great many pre years.
 To all this remarkable change in alth l am indebted to my wise friend
 d Grape-Nuts, and I hope the Pos m company will continue to manufac- re this life and .health-giving food for Veral centuries yet, until move to a Prld where indigestion is unknown. z lme given by Postum Co.,, Battle

AIlsof those taken in the raid are out on bonds of $50 each, except Mckee, who lis under bonds of $1,0O0, charged with keeping gambling house. Maurice D. Curtiss and Emil Cossack, charged with frequenting gaming house, settled by paying a fine of s5 each and costs, amounting to $4S5 The other cases were further continued until to-day. | City Attorney Webb has recommend ed that all the eases be settled on the same basis and it is thought probable that the others will settle to-day by paying a fine of s5 and costs.
 Chief Egan of the state police was in New Haven Saturday and when ques- tioned about the Mckee raid, said:
 'The prosecutors make out the war rants and give them to the ones they want to serve them. The state police always desire to have the local police aid and even serve the warrants but in this case the prosecutor under whose orders we acted gave an order which we were bound to obey, and which pre- vented us from consulting the local po- lice.
 The public is pretty well informed as to the facts and I don't think there is anything more I can say.''
