to keep the foxes in and to keep other
animals out Six Enclosures thus
formed cover about one and a half
acres of ground and in each of them
is kennel built of wood and set deep
into the earth serving as a nursery
and as den for the foxes in winter.
At first few of the foxes escaped by
burrowing down under the fence, but
Norton stopped this by carrying the
wire down from four to eight feet to
the solid ledge. The whole farm has
been allowed to grow up with rank
grass and weeds. SO that it resembles
the native haunts of the fox m the
wildwood. and Norton's stock does not
seem to realize that 1t is living in
captivity.
On the farm are common rcd foxes
from the woods of Maine, blue foxes
from Alaska; silver grays from Prince
Edward island, and blacks from Ohio
The reds are the commonest and least
valued of foxes; blues are worth
more, but the silver grays and the
blacks are the aristocrats. AS mat
ter of fact, the black and the silver
gray are the same breed, a silver gray
being black with sprinkling of
gray hairs. The black fox pelt is
among the most valuable of furs, fine
specimens frequently bringing $500 to
5000, while in several instances as
high as $1,000 to $1,000 has been paid
Norton had not been long in the
business when he made the impor-
tant discovery that it is possible to
reproduce black and silver gray foxes
Naturalists say that these rare speci-
mems are simply freaks of nature, be-
Ing liable to appear among the com
mond reds at any time, while their
progeny is more than likely to wear
the plebeian red coat. Norton has
discovered, however. that by inbreed-
ing it is possible. in the course OF
duce the genuine black variety. He
bought an Ohio black fox, paying $500
for it, and this he bred with a. com
mon Maine red, then bred their
progeny together, and so on. Thus
far he has met with fattering success,
and he feels confident that his sue.
cess will continue. Last year he sold
a pair of black foxes bred on his farm
for $500, and now has family OF
four. which he values at $1,000.
The foxes are fed with scraps of
meat, bread, milk and the like, and
are all in good health. In summer
time they need to be watered, but in
winter they quench their thirst with
snow.
When Norton wants to capture one
of his foxes he simply pokes his hand
down into burrow, to which shelter
they flee when any one approaches,
and pulls the animal out, much as one
would take an apple out CT bag All
of his So foxes seem to know him as
dogs know their master, and at feed
ing time they frolic about him like so
many kittens. The beauties OF the
colony are pair of twin blacks, now
ten weeks old, coal black with the ex
ception of snowy white at the tips

The Need Of Play.

Commenting upon the need of play
Editor George Harvey in the current
issue of the North American Review
declares that it is the simplest thing
in the world for man to keep his
physical machinery in good working
order and that this very simplicity IL
the chief obstacle to his keeping well
and efficient.
IF health and efficiency were a
rare commodity obtainable only IN
remote Businesses and at a vast
price" writes Mr.. Harvey, "undoubt-
edly we should be oversupplied with
It, But 1t lies at every mans hand.
He has only to take it and it is his.
OF course he will not take. He will
have none of it till govt or rheuma-
ttsm or appendicitis has gripped him
and barred him from his daily voca-
ton. Then he will endure pain and
expend much time and money in ac-
quiring what he should never have
lost"
This is quite true. The business
or professional man, too busy look.
ing after the affairs of his occupa,
tion and endeavor'ing to attain sue
cess as rapidly as possible, throws
away his health and does not realize
1t until II is too late
But. what is to he done? Editor
Harvey finds the great remedy in
play. Man should have a certain
amount of play every day. Play
should not he carried to an excess,
but the human body Graves it, de-
mands 1t and its Indulgence gives oc-
casion for exercise of the muscles
and relaxation of the mental activi-
ties which greatly help man to keen
his physical machinery in good work
ing order. A daily walk is suggest
ed. also boxing. fencing, tennis.
handball and other similar pastime7
and sports. Amusement is needed
in play and the spirit of competition
provides 1t so those pastimes that are
competitive are the most valuable.
The remedy is simple and pleasant,
Those who are throwing away their
health without realizing 1t should

years ago Senator Ashburn and Dele
gates Hart and Riblett all voted for
submission, and no one has heard
that they have changed their minds.
Besides the State platform this year
promises it. Senator coffman stat
ed in his speech of acceptance that
he would vote to submit the question
II chat proved to be the win Of the
people, and the last election in the
State proved conclusiyeIy that sub
mission Is in line with the will of the
people. Senator Cofman's position
is elucfdated in an interesting article
in the Wheeling Intelligencer, whose
correspondent in noting the presence
of Mr.. Cofman in Washington says:
Senator Coffman gives the inn
preston that he will pay heed to the
suggestions of Governor Glasscock
when that worthy citizen takes hold
at Charleston and 1t is also apparent
that Coffman believes in carrying out
the pledges of the platform adopted
by his party in the state convention.
That means the consideration and
adoption of some sort of local OPP
ton law. 1t Is pleasure to meet a
young statesman who believes in a
party carrying out its promises as put
forth in a party platform and 1t is
the further observation of Senator
Coffman that an amendment to the
constitution for state wide prohibit
tion will be given consideration dur
ing the coming session. Such an
amendment will. of course, have to
be submitted to the people at ths
election two years hence, but 1t will
be up to the present majority in the
legislature to enact some law provid
ing for the submission of the afore-
said amendment.
Senator Coffman thinks very we'll
OF the district primary law, suggest
ed by the 1ntelligencer and submits
that 1t is not a good plan to do away
with conventions for the actual
nomination of state or local tickets.
1t is the idea OF Senator Coffman
that the delegates to district and
county conventions which in turn can
elect delegates to state conventions
is a better plan than a direct nomi-
nation by primary vote. at keeps
up the party enthusiasm to have con-
ventions," is the way Senator CoH-
man puts it and he added: 1--WE
need the stimulating rivalry and ef-
feet of convention to arouse the
voters and to maintain the proper IN
terest in public affairs" The SEN
ator has talked over the topic with
some Of the hest political leaders OF
the state and finds very general
sentiment in favor OF retaining the
convention idea in West Virginia
politics.

sight yesterday to see the big tows OF
coal passing down the river on their

RdaNsl,y accidents.


In the year ending June. 80, 1908,
there was b remarkable falling OFF
In The numbA of casualties to both
. passengers and employees, due to
some extent to diminished traffic on
railroads generally, according to the
annual report of-the interstate Com
merce Commission transmitted to
Congress today. AS appears from a
summary published IN the report, the
npnher of passengers killed in train
accidents.was 165 in 1908, as com
pared with 40 in the previous year.
There is also a. gratifying decrease
in the number Of employees killed
! and injured. The number of en-
ployees killed in coupling accidents
shows a reduction Of 20 per cent
from the previous yearly record.
Attention is called to the neces-
sity of legislation authorizing an, in
vestigation, under direction OF the
Commission, of train accidents, for
the purpose of obtaining light on the
question of preventive measures for
the future.
BY the terms of an act approved
May 80, 1908, it is made unlawful
for any common carrier engaged in
interstate or foreign commerce by
railroad to use any locomotive in
moving interstate or foreign traffic
that is not equipped with an ash pan
which can be dumped or emptied and
cleaned without the necessity of any
employee going under such locomo-
tiye,.on and after the 1st day of jan
uary, 1910, and the Commission is
charged with the duty OF enforcing
the provisions of this act. Numer-
Gus plans of inventions calculated to
solve the difficulty involved in OBJ
tanning an efficient device applicable
to all types Of locomotives have been
presented to the Commission and
have been referred to its block sig
nal and .Arairi control board for ex-
animation and report. 1t has been
the view of the Commission that de-
vices of this character come within
the terms OF tho sundry civil act of
the last session Of the present Con-
gress, being devised TO promote the
safety of railroad operation.
With the possible exception Of
power brakes the conditions of safe
ty appliances is steadily improving.
1t is not clearFy understood why the
maintenance of the brakes does not
keep pace with progress OF improve
ment of other details of equipment,
but 1t is probably attributable to the
following situation: The sole re-
quirement OF the present law in re-
gard to power brakes is that no train
subject to the present act shall con
tain less than IS. per cent. OF cars
equipped with power brakes in OPP
erative condition.. Cars not exceed
ing Is per cent. OF the total in the
train may have their brake equip
nent "cut out" OF the connection,
and no liability ensues to the carrier
If the remalnins brakes are sufficient
4 to control tie speed of the train
There is3ah 4nperative need for regu-
lation governing cars that are equip
ped with oth; hand and power
