FOX CROP IN MAINE IS BIG.
Total Annual Output Of state ls Estl.
mated at $4,000 Skins.

Bangor, Me.-Abont $4,000 fox skins
are sold out of Maine every year. Very
few Of the sly animals are shot. Many
are killed by the use of poisoned bait.
while hundreds of others are killed in
drives" known as the New Hamp-
shire method" This is not sportsman
like, but the fur hunters are in the
game for cash, not sport.
No accurate statistics are available
as to the number of foxes captured in
Maine in a year, but some time ago
Charles E. Oak of Caribou, then land
agent, said before a committee hearing
that more than $4,000 fox skins were
sold out of Aroostook county alone
every year. Outside of Aroostook
business of fox hunting, perhaps 25,-
900 pelts are taken in q year, making
the total output of the state 5000.
The price of good fox skins reached
highest notch last winter. even red
pelts commanding from $3.50 to S.
each, as against $3.50 two years ago,
and $3.50 five years ago. For silver
grays, which are rare, and blacks
which are very rare, prices remain
very much as In former years, though
the rates have advanced somewhat
and the market is much steadier since
the close of the war between Japan
and Russia, al nearly all these OK
p~ensive skins are marketed in Russia.
One fox skin in 200 Is from a Gross
fox and is valued at $50; one in TO-.
900 is a silver gray and is worth from
5000 to $500, and perhaps one in 500,-
900 is a pure and radiant black, which
may bring $500 or even $500. thus
making the coat of the black fox the
most valuable garment worn by any
animal on top of the earth.

WEDDING Rino Story.


It was the habit of Rev. James Spur
geon, grandfather of the great preach
or of that name, to pray each even
ing under a certain oak tree in a &C.
cluded wood in H%oneywood park.
One night he dreamed, the story
goes, that Satan appeared and threat
ened to tear him In pieces, if he fol.
lowed his accustomed route to the
tree. There was another path by which
he might go In safety.
Remembering his dream, Spurgeon
felt sorely tempted to take the route
in which Satan was not. But this
would be to capitulate. Trembling in
every limb, he made his way by the
path in which the danger lay. He
reached his goal in safety and In
prayer and song returned thanks for
delivery from peril. When his prayer
had ended he rose to return.
In his path lay a piece of solid gold
"as large as a curtain ring" All in
quiry failing to discover an owner, he
retained 1t, and when he married had
his wife's wedding ring made from his
curious find.

Properly INDIGNANT seaaar.

Poor Anna Gould! Among her 9TH

%perience with the professional French
beggar. Most of the wealthy owners
of country houses on the outskirts of
Paris are afflicted with what may be
called their "beggars in ordinary"
These fellows are highly %aristocratic
in their mendicancy and must have
their wants attended to at their own
convenience. One such was waiting at
Nine. Annals castle at an early hour,
just after her fifth quarrel with Boni
She had been up nearly all night and
slept late. The heggar waxed impatient
and, turning fiercely upon the foot
man, said:
How long dye suppose she'll be be
fore she comes?"

maybe ten minutes, maybe tire,

Then I'll tell We what it is, "growle'

MINERS FOR LEWIS

ficiais from Office.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 2.-The con
OF America underwent a change over
the week end and to-day found the
Lewis administration victorious over
its opponents, led by John Walker OF
Illinois, who was Lewis rival in the
election for the national presidency.
Mr.. Walker gave out a statement
that he would not contest the cleo
ton because he believed such action
hopeless. The convention had been
packed against him, he said. The tell
ers' report will show President Lewis
majority to be about 5000.
Test Shows Lewis Strength.
The first test poll of the delegates
came on a motion to adopt the para
graph of the report of the committee
On officers reports approving the
tional executive board in suspendins
President Van Horn and other officials
of District No. II, Indiana, for having
disobeyed the mandate of the national
officers to discontinue the strike at the
Hudson mine.
President Walker of Illinois was not
granted an extension of time to speak
against the motion and when he took
his seat amid cheering it was plain
that the cause of the anti-Lewis fac
ton was lost.
The roll was called, a process occu
plying most of the day with the result
that in a total vote of 2.6S1 there were
1927 approving and 1,054 dissenting
The majority for the Lewis admins
tration was 573.
Appeal Against President.
President Feehan and other officers
of the Pittsburg district protested
against the action of Lewis in refusing
financial assistance to the striking
miners of the Mercer-Butler field
Pennsylvania. Feehan appealed to the
delegates to support him in the appli
cation to the national officers for aid
The discussion of this matter was
taken up to-day.

Bethlehem, Pa.-For the first time
in the history of the country, the
spring which at one time served
Washington's army is drying up and
this borough is threatened with a
water famine.
Since 1741 this historic spring has
supplied the borough with water.
Before that its banks were a council
spot for the Indians. Never has it
been known to fail as a water source.
The present drought, which has
parched this part Of the country for
weeks, is blamed for the springs fail

In the early days when scouts and
trappers traced through the country
the spring was a landmark. Many
times its clear, bubbling waters have
been stained with blood, shed in fierce
encounter between red men and
whites.

Eugene Wolf. the German explorer,

means o%btainable is a hot watersoaked
towel, folded tightly about the pa
TENTS head while he lies fiat on his
back. In VOLTS own words: "a rene

none, and I've will be. The point,
therefore, lies in Its prevention, for

TAFT AT .CULEBRA CUT;
APPROVES GATUN DAM
smoothes Out fractional Differences
Canals Completion by 1915 Pre-
dicted by Cocktails.

Culebra, Panama, Feb. 2.-William
fl. Taft and the engineers accompany
ing him arrived here yesterday on a
special train and made a detailed eX-
animation of the IA miles of the
Culebra cut.
The fact that the existing plans for
the lock and dam at Gatun are salts
factory to the visiting engineers has
created a local feeling of optimism.
and the fears Of delay in the compile
ton of the work have been relieved.
Mr.. Taft expected that the views OF
the engineers regarding the situation
at Gatum would be favorable, and
their findings consequently did not
come as a surprise to him.
That Mr.. Taft Is acting as pacifica-
tor in the strong post-election factional
feeling which at times has been very
marked, is shown by the fact that invi-
tations have been sent to both Presi
dent Obaldia and Senior Arias, at one
time opposition candidate for the pres
iGency, to the dinner and reception ar
ranged for tonight by Herbert G.
Squiers, the American minister, in
honor of the American president-elect.
Mr.. Taft yesterday afternoon called
upon ex-President Amador, who is i'll.
Amador and President Obaldia have
not been on friendly terms for a long
time because Of political differences.
Mr.. Taft wishes to make it plain that
his cordially is toward Panama as a
whole, and not toward one political
faction.
Both sides of the controversy which
has arisen through the commissary
system will be given a hearing, but
he will make no recommendation with
regard to the treaty, which refers the
question of arbitration. Without doubt
the commissary will continue, al
though so-called Injuries will be elm
mated. Mr.. Taft has expressed full
confidence in the judgment of Secre
tary Root in this matter.
Lieut.. Col. Goethals declared to-day
that naval vessels would sail through

ingly strong. 1t affects the educated
no less than the illiterate. l know
hardly a person who would set out on
