MOTHER FOX KEEPS WATCH.


Animal Uses Every Means 10 Attract
Men Away from Her Den.
: Hunters found a den Of foxes in the
nils south OF Hagerstown and unearth-
ed five little ones about as large as
well grown cats, writes the Hagerstown
correspondent Of the indianapolis
News. The mother fox escaped before
the hunters reached the den. which
was lined thickly with soft grass and
feathers. Instead Of running away she
kept within sight while the hunters
worked with their shovels.
She apparently understood what they
were doing. for she endeavored by
every means to attract them away
from their work and toward herself.
She approached quite near and acted
as If lame and distressed. She would
lie down on her side and writhe along
the ground. utering whines and means.
Then she would limp or as If very
lame. going very slowly and hating
frequently
The hunters were not 10 be drawn
away from the work I'm hand by such
tactics. and finally. after much digging
came upon the den where the Eve
pretty little fellows were shrinking.
They made no resistance and seemed
rather to like the handling and pettins
they received. All OF them were taken
to a farmhouse, where they are con-
dned. They will not be released. but
will probably be painlessly dispatched

SOFT COAL TRADE INACTIVE
Mild Weather and Dull Industry
Checks the Demand.
Tariff Agitation Also Serves 10 Dis
to Situation and Delay
business Recovery.

Baltimore. Feb. 20.-The soft-coal trade
which was making gratifying recovery
10 20 the first OF the year. has suddenly
become dull again and the prospects for
the immediate future are not very en-
cOuraging-
The Consolidated Coal Company the
most extensive producers in this section,
owning some OF the largest mines in
Maryland West Virginia. and Pennsyl-
yania. Is now operating its mines only
about three days a week and producing
only about half OF their capacity. Other
coal companies report a similar situa-
ton.
The mild weather and inactivity in in
dustrial lines have combined 10 curtaH
consumption OF soft coal Shipments OF
coal coastwise also have fallen or con-
siderably- Although disappointed over
prevailing dullnesS. coal operators ex-
press the opinion that the demand Will
probably revive IN the spring. as by that
time. IL Is believed. the tariff viii have
been removed as a disturbing factor and
Industrial activity viii have been re-
sUmed.
There Is no doubt. according TO oDin-
ions expressed in business circles. that
the tariff agitation is the chief drawback
TO trade recovery al the moment Owing
10 the uncertainty mills and factories
are making goods 70 FIJI immediate re-
Quirements only, and buyers as a rule
confine their purchases 10 the smallest
amounts.
Railroad earnings, however, continue
satisfactory, although they now compare
with very lean period a year ago.
Many business men confidently expect
the inaugural address Of President-elect
Taft 10 be Couched in such friendly words
