for hours for the dog to return the
hunters went back to the village ex-

chase. Night came on and they be-

been lost.
A local gunner who accompanied
the fox hunters into the woods said
he would find the dog and ship him
home the next day. Inquiries were

Wives Travel HaIf-Price.

Under a new Norwegian railway
regulation, when husband and wife
are travelling together, the wife need
only pay half-price. The idea may
simply be to encourage family life, on
the theory that Norwegian who nor

tempted to take her along at reduced
rates. It will of course, be neces-
sary. when taking a husband-and-wife

collision at the booking office between
perfect strangers.-London Tid-Bits.
