Raising Black Foxes.

A Maine farmer who raises nothing
but foxes claims to have discovered
that the black fox is not a freak, and
he is proceeding to prove this theory by
mixing a black fox from Ohio with a
red me caught in the Maine woods.
From the cross he has a pair of fine
black foxes ten weeks old, and as these
twins are not the first he has raised the
same way he is confident that in time
he may be able to replace all the red
foxes on his farm and raise for the fur
market nothing bet the finest blacks,
whose pelts sell for $500 to $500 each.
Judging from sales made In the past,
the four black foxes he has now are
entered on his stock list as worth
$1,000, and he feels rich. He has the
foxes Enclosed by a wire fence sixteen
feet high and running down to the
ledge, so that the sly rascals cannot dig
out. he feeds the animals and lets
them have the full run of the farm,
which looks like a weed garden with a
few trees growing in 1t, but pays a
profit with small outlay for labor

AN INCREASING NUMBER
Winter Term at Dakota Wesleyan
Shows a Greater Enrolment
Than Ever Before.

The winter term of the Dakota
| Wesleyan University marks again the
increasing tide OF prosperity. The
attendance for the single term is
now over 40. an increase OF about
| 10 over last winter. The chapel is
crowded to its utmost capacity and
the management has been compelled
to enlarge the platform and place
the junior and senior classes with
the faculty on the platform, in order
to get the students into the chapel
at all. The trustees are already
considering the erection of another
building. The total enrolment for
the year will not be less than $50.
The sumner school also promises to
be largely attended and be interest
ing and profitable. Full courses will!
be offered, but especial attention
will lie given to the work for teach
ers. A bulletin to be issued the
coming week will give full outline of
th,se courses.

IL q Tooth Property,

It is we'll known that a corpse is not
property. but what about an extracted
tooth? So far as we know the point
has not arisen in the courts Of this
country. At Gera, in Germany, hows
ever, it has just been decided that the
tooth still belongs to the man after it
has left his jaw. The dentist contend
ed that a tooth evicted from occupancy
with the full consent Of its landlord be-
came ownerless and derelict, and as the
particular tooth in question was Curl
ously shaped he proposed to keep it.
But the patient also wished to have it,
Ind the patient has won.-Pall Mall Ga

THE GENTLE SEX
Why She Doesn't Go

1t is about this time Of the year that
young women are refusing all invita-
tion. That is. il they have not yet
had their vacation. II they have, they
are refusing them anyway.
In the first case the young woman
says. pathetically:
II should so love to come, but you
see all my clothes are clean, ready to
take on my trip. and 1 don't dare to
wear any of them. for 1 shouldn't have
time to get them home from the laun-
dry again before I so away"
And in the second case she excuses
herself in this wise:
Il am perfectly wild to come. but ]
haven't a decent rag to my back
Everything / took away with me Is
ready for the wash tub, and such are
the uncertainties OF laundresses that
/ do not expect to be able TO go about
in public again for twelve weeks tc
come"
That is to say. these are the frank
excuses she viii proffer IL you are on
intimate terms with her. And II you
are not so intimate as to warrant sucf
lopen condolences, this is written thai
you may know the real truth.
