an Interesting Card Of Fights

1I
an Interesting Card of Fights
There was a decidedly hot enter
tainment in connection with the meet
lug Of the Kenosha Aerie of Eagles
Tuesday night, the feature of the
entertainment being four bouts with
gloves. The names Of the participants
in the battles have not been made
public, but it is claimed that the
members of the Eagles saw about as
fine an article of boxing as has been
put on in Kenosha during the last
few years. No one was seriously in
iured in the bouts, but several of
them resulted in clean knock outs.
No effort was made by the officials
to interfere with the boxing show, it
being understood that the bouts were
not for purses but Of friendly
nature.

Every woman who has had the experience knows
how dismal it is to be a stranger alone IN New

know what to begin with When she decides what
to begin with she probably doesn't know the best
way TO get there; OF it may be place 20 which

are full of such women, and one New York hotel
has decided to provide chaperons upon whom its
woman patrons call when they desire
One Young girl who came from Chicago was in
charge of a chaperon there for a whole month.
She wanted to see New York. so her parents mads
this arrangement for her So delighted was she
with her visit that after she got home she made
a sorapbook souvenir of the month, with one pass
devoted to each days doings. and sent 1t to the

decided the hotel to enlarge the system and make
it a permanent thing.

Can't Be Raised

WTITHlN the last twenty years number of
w wealthymen who have owned fenced game
preserves have spent vast sums Of money IN
buving Young foxes alive and turning them
loose within private Enclosures \ pair Of hv-
ing red foxes can be bought for four dollars
and twenty-five cents, and a PAIR Of silver
gravs bring from five hundred to eight hundred
dollars In the country town of Dover. Maine,
Elijah Norton, an old hunter IS breeding red
and silver gray fox pups and selling them TO
rich sportsmen at big profit. Within the last
SIX wears there have been born within his
fenced inclosure more than three hundred red
pups and something like fifty other fox pups
that are either silver gray OF approaching that
color Norton has found that the offspring
from silver gray parents are IN a majority Of
cases silver gray, though a sprinkling Of red
pups is found from the gray ancestry, even as
gray pups now and again develop from pure
red stock But at no time has he ever been
made glad by the advent OF black pup IN his
kennels
Bv and by, it may be that some skilled or
fortunate breeder VIII produce black pup,
or perhaps a pair Of black foxes may be cap
tured alive and from these a new breed of
donesticated black foxes will arise and cause
a great panic among the men who hunt tor
black foxes.
The man who can wrest the secret Of breed
ing black foxes from Nature, the way Luther
Burbank has solved the secret Of producing
new plants. IS assured Of riches past counting,
and can command the worshIpiul homage OF
the Russian nobility and aristocracy, who
seem willing TO sacrifice untold wealth Tor the
pleasure Of wearing overCoats made from the
pelts Of American black foxes.
