Must Attend School

last night, makes 1t misdemeanor for parents to allow any child under the age of 15 to be absent from school The ordinance is intended to prevent youngsters from running around the streets instead of attending school.
 Another ordinance adopted makes 1t necessary for any person who wishes to move building through the public streets, to secure a permit from the town clerk. Failure to secure this per init subjects the party moving the building to fine.

Can't Be Raised

WITHIN the last twenty years number of
w wealthymen who have owned fenced game
preserves have spent vast sums of money in
buying young foxes alive and turning them
loose within private Enclosures. A pair of hv-
ing red foxes can be bought for four dollars
and twenty-five cents, and a pair of silver
grays 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 a big profit. Within the last
SIX years there have been born within his
fenced Enclosure more than three hundred red
pups and something like fifty other fox pups
that are either silver gray or approaching that
color. Norton has found that the offspring
from silver gray parents are in a ma jority of
cases silver gray, though 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.
By and by, it may be that some skilled or
fortunate breeder will produce black pup,
or perhaps pair of black foxes may be cap
tured alive, and from these a new breed of
domesticated black foxes will arise and cause
great panic among the men who hunt for
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 worshipful homage Of
the Russian nobility and aristocracy, who
seem willing to sacrifice untold wealth for the
pleasure of wearing overcoats made from the
Pelts of American black foxes.

Lady Monica Vale. We danced together, and

Who is this man, Duke?" Though she
spoke to him, Lady Vale Avon's eyes, cold as

Only Five Pelts a Year

A S a rule about five perfect pelts from black
"A foxes are captured every year, and of these
three are bought by the great Hudson Bay
Fur Company or its tributary associations
Though Maine alone furnishes more than
seventy thousand fox skins every year, and
though nearly five thousand active men spend
most of the winter in trapping and poisoning
foxes and other animals for their furs, only
two times in the run of twelve months are the
combined efforts of these individual hunters
able to secure black fox.
In no way except in color does the black
fox differ from its congener, the red fox, whose
pelt sells for three dollars and half, or from
the gray fox, whose winter overcoat is valued
at from one hundred and fifty to four hundred
dollars; but whenever hunter can secure a
black fox and remove its skin without marring
hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for his
trophy as if he had the money in his hand.

The King of American Beasts

IN the estimation of the trappers and voy-
i ageurs of eastern North America, we'll as
in the eyes of the very rich nobility of Russia
and Siberia, there is only one king of beasts,
and the name of this beast is the big and radi-
antly shining black fox, which roams over the
cold and barren hills that stretch from east of
the Penobscot River in Maine, through New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and, skipping
the mouth of the St. Lawrence River extend
in diminishing hummocks through Western
Labrador and end in the hillocks and Lau-
rentian formations which surround Hudson
BAY
Those who seek the choicest and most ex-
pensive furs known to man and who will pay
any price for what they want must go to the
bleak coast line of eastern North America for
what they want, and may have to wait for
years to secure pelts that will match perfectly
with other skins which are to go toward making
up set; for the black fox of North America
Lc Keyrdrd nOfr of the French hunters-wears
the most valuable overcoat of any animal on
earth.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-14

Not only is every black fox pelt bought as soon
as taken, but dozen Russian nobemen have
paid agents travelling in North America all
through the winter. seeking out remote hill
side farms and abandoned logging camps,
where it is possible that a shy and elusive
black fox may have been seen.
