THE BLOODHOUND
Fire Marshall Craft Made the Pur-
chase Of the Animal for the Ben
eft of the State.

South Dakota owns its first blood
hound. State Fire Marshall Craft
closed the deal Sunday morning with
Archie Malcolm, of Lexington, Neb.,
for the purchase of one of the three
bloodhounds which he brought up
from his kennels in order to demon
strate to the fire marshal just what
the animals can do in the line of fol-
lowing a trail to a successful con-
clusion.
Mr.. Craft said that he expected to
purchase two of the hounds at this
time, but that neither one of the
others were quite satisfactory, the
older dog being a little too vicious
for everybody to handle and the
younger dog was not sufficiently
trained t o be of general use. The
hound purchased is about three and
a half years old, and has been train
ed to the point where it can be handl-
ed by strangers, working equally as
we'll without as with its master. This
dog has been kept for the purpose of
leasing to officers in Nebraska and
lacks any of the vicious qualities of
the average bloodhound. Mr.. Craft
took an option on another hound own
ed by Mr.. Malcolm and it is likely
that in the spring of the year he will
buy the other. The animal cost the
state 5000. With the one animal
Mr.. Craft said that he would be able
to take care of the dog at his home
and save the expense of hiring a keep

that the one hound would be suficient

From Saturdays Daily

The probabilities are that the state
will be the possessor Of a pair of
bloodhounds which are to be utilized
as helpers in the department Of the
fire marshall. F. A. Craft, OF this
city. who has charge Of that depart
ment. has been on the hunt for some
bloodhounds that can make good in
tracking an individual. His trip
down to Beatrice Neb.. this week was
made for that purpose but the hounds
failed to make good enough showing
and he did not make the purchase. On
his way back he learned of another
kennel of hounds at Lexington. Neb.,
and got into telephone communica-
cation with the owner, Archie NAL
colin. and he arranged to bring his
hounds to Mitchell and give them q
test for the fire marshall. Mr.. NAL
colin arrived in the city Friday morn
ing, and late in the afternoon the
three hounds were given a test.
Will Dodson went about a mile
northeast of the city at the top Of the
hill and walked into town, taking as
much of a circuitous route as posi-
Bile. Dodson then went to a spot and
remained for the time being. The
hounds, of which there are three.
were taken out, and the youngest of
them was given the scent and he pick
ed up the trial Immediately and he
never lost 1t until he went straight
to Dodson's retreat. The hound work.
ed fine every moment he was on the
trail and it is said that he never lost
1t for a moment. Fire Marshall Craft
said that he "a exceedingly we'll
pleased with the result.
This afternoon another party will
be sent out into the country a short
distance to make another trail into
the city, but the dogs will not be per-
mitted to work on it until tomorrow
morning. This is done to test the
ability of the hounds to work on a
trail that is not fresh. At the con-
clusion of the trial tomorrow MI.
Craft will arrive at a decision wheth-
Ell he will make the purchase of the
pair or not. They will cost the state
about $500.
Some few months ago the state fire
marshall put in a request to Commits
sioner Basford of the insurance de-
partment asking for the privilege of
purchasing the bloodhounds. He set
forth the fact that the animals coula
be utilized to a splendid advan!a.a in
capturing parties who, are in the bust
ness of starting fires and tracing down
incendiaries. There have been sew
eral cases." said Mr.. Craft, where I
could have used the bloodhounds and
caught the incendiary, and l think
in the future that there will be less
trouble with this class of criminals
than ever BEFORE"
If the hounds are purchased they
will he kept in this city, and the fire
marshal stated that they would be
leased out to any peace officers Of

A President Who Travels.

President Taft's little trip into the
South has been a pleasant event of the
week. Virginia and North Carolina
were pleased to see him and to greet
him. His public addresses were well re-
ceived and, despite the cloudburst which
occurred while he was at Charlotte. he
returned to Washington the better for
his outing.
As the greatest traveller who has ever
occupied his high office. it is not wonder
full that the President has planned to de-
vote his summer vacation to an excur-
sion. His objective point will be Alas
ka, a part of the dominions of the Re
public which he has never seen-prac-
tically the only part which he has never
seen. for he has crossed and reerossed
the continent many times, served as gov
ernor of the Philippines. and witnessed
with his own eyes the progress of canal
digging at Panama, and executed mis-
sions in the island of the Caribbean sea.
The possibilities of Alaska are more
appreciated from year to year. Perhaps
the industrial development of that i'm
tant possession will proceed faster after
its resources have been appraised hy a

Sir Robert Bond, formerly premier of
Newfoundland, who has been conspi-
cuous for many years as an opponent
of American fishermen who ply their call
ing in Newfoundland waters, and who
has been largely instrumental in infiat-
ing the fishing imbroglio to proportions
which compelled international considera-
ton and submission to The Hague con-
ference, was badly beaten in the election
which took place in Newfoundland, the
other day. This fact will be accepted as
evidence that Observation-Disclosures are not
opposed to American fishermen, and that
they find in the presence of the Ameri-
cans an element of business which makes
for the prosperity Of the coast fishermen,
who not only work for the American
fishing vessels, but also dispose of their
fish in legal manner, under the limita-
tons of the law.

The fortune of FIVE million dollars
which was acquired by Christopher Ma
gee, politician and newspaper publisher
of Pittsburg, who passed away several
years ago, has been released by his wife's
death and will now go to the ultimate
purpose for which it was devised by its
accumulator-the foundation and main
tenance of a hospital for women. The
institution is to bear the name of the
testator's mother. Elizabeth Steel Nagee.
One of its features will be a department
for women in distress, who are to re-
ceive free treatment at all times and be
asked no questions. Chris" Magee did
not escape sharp criticism while alive,
but even the most inveterate of those
who were his political enemies must ad-
nit the excellence of the great purpose
to which he saw fit to apply his
money.

BLACK FOX PELTS RARE
Maine Trappers, However, Who Catch
These Animals Are Few, as the
Species Is Very Rare.

The trapper who gets one black fox
in a season can afford to loaf the rest
of the time, for he knows the value of
his prize and seeks the right market he
can exchange the glossy pelt for $1,000
or more, spot cash. But not so many
trappers have such luck as to get black
fox, for that valuable freak, like other
good things, is rarely found.
a black fox skin vas brought to Maine
recently and is now part of the stock
of a fur dealer who buys and sells in all
parts, of the world. The fox was killed
in Alaska, where a travelling furrier
bought it from the natives for 500. In
New York the purchaser was offered
$500 for his prize, but he knew II was
worth more money, so he brought it to
an expert in Maine, who without word
handed over $1,000 for the glossy bit of
fur.
Common red foxes, such as are pIen-
titul as grasshoppers in many parts of
Maine, are selling for 80 cents to 81 80
each, for those taken out of season when
the fur is thin, and So to 81 for skins in
prime conditions. Cross breeds are
worth from 81 to so each and pale sill
yer grays from $40 to $125.
When a trapper obtains a dark silver
gray he has struck a prize, for the values
run from $500 to 5000 each. These sill
yer foxes are killed for the most part
in Labrador and Cape Breton. seldom
being seen in Maine now, although many
years ago they were frequently taken on
the head waters of the PenObscot and
the st. John.
The black fox is a freak and an aris-
tocrat. He belongs to no well defined
species-that is, black foxes are not rec
ognized in natural history as a separate
class-but is supposed to be a member
of the silver family, whose coloring re-
suits from some prenatal influence The
black fox is always in great demand by
the very wealthy, and especially by the
Russian nobility, who send agents to the
great auction sales that take place four
times. year in London-in January
March, June and October-to bid on
what few skins of this species may be
offered. In a hundred thousand pelts
there are generally not more than a doz-
en- or twenty black foxes. and the prices
are often as high at $500. sometimes
$1,000 for a particularly fine skin.-New

Brig.-Gen. r. FL. Pratt, who was once

an Oklahoma acquaintance. "A Conan
che named Essatoyet and his wife

They drove the beef to a glade a mile
from camp, killed it, took the hide and
reserved all the best meat for their own

the carcass.
"Essatoyet had cut thirty sticks a foot
and half long and sharpened them at

ground in a large circle enclosing the
carcass and on each put a chunk of liver

THE sKImpERs-

The Skimpers have to skimp no more
For times are better now,
And there's not always such a frown
Upon Pa Skimper's brow.
Ma Skimper rides about in state
And very seldom sees
The Griggers and the Chubleys and,
completely at her ease,
She snubs the people who she used
To hobnob with before,
In the old days, now forgotten, when
The Skimpers were so poor.
Pa SKimper tries his hand at golf;
The Oldest girl, some day,
VIII wed a dukelet from abroad,
SO all the papers say.
The two Doys-Reginald and Jack
Are rolling rather high,
AS If to prove the world holds naught
That money will not buy.
Contemptuous as well of those
Who lack fine ways and style,
As offspring often are, you know,
Whose fathers made pile.
The Skimpers cut a mighty swath
In Newtown, where they kye;
Large sums to public charities
with loud acclaim they give.
a trip abroad's no more to them
Than picnics used to be.
The jewels that Ma Skimper wears
Are wonderful TO see.
And yet it seems, their hearts are not
The hearts they had before,
And they're not so loyable as they were
In the days when they were poor.
