d Msrfvr to the Fox.

s
A fox can climb almost as we'll as
cat and will often be found lying in
trees and on the top of ivy covered
walls. High walls covered with ivy
often surround private residences in
hunting districts One Of these do
main walls caused the tragic death Of
a hound in the south of ireland a few.
years ago. There was belt of trees
with thickish underground close up to
the wall. and the hounds were running
tired fox hard through this belt.
Suddenly the cry ceased; there were
the unmistakable growing and worry
ing which proclaim a kill The mas
ter Jumped off his horse and pushed
his way through the underground On
getting to the pack, instead Of finding
q dead fox he saw to his horror one
of the best hounds torn to pieces. II
was easy to understand what had hap
pened The fox had got over the wall
by the help of some ivy, and the hound
had tried to jump over after him, but.
falling back among the others, had
been killed before they realized their
mistake London Standard.

BETZVu1E TALES
Uncle Ashdod and the Bisquito
@By Ellis Darker BuHetI
9AB Author of"Pi8s is Pigs Etc" &9
ILLUSTRATED BY PETER NEWELL

Early this spring Uncle Ashdod
Clute made up his mind that he was
pretty sure to die within twenty or
thirty years, and he felt that it would
be shame to die and not leave any
thing to carry his name down to pos
terity, and that he ought to hustle up
bit If he wanted to enroll his name
on the banner of fame. The only
thing that troubled him was that there
were not many things man could do
In Betzville to make his name resound
around the world like June bug in
bass-drum, but one day, when he
was down at the creek fishing, the
idea came to him like flash.
He says he was sitting there with a
grasshopper in one hand and the fish
hook in the other, ready to thread the
grasshopper on the hook, when SIM
ultaneously at the same time a bee
alighted on his left ear and a mos
quito on his right ear. He says that
any ordinary man might never have
got an idea from that, but Uncle Ash
dod can wiggle his ears to and fro like
a flag in the breeze, and he wiggled
them. He says he must have wriggled
them too hard, but he wasn't paying
much attention to his ears just then.
He says that if he had wiggled his
ears with just a slight wiggle all
would have been we'll, but he must
have wiggled them mighty strong, for

Along about the 9Th of August
Uncle Ashdod opened the hermet;cal
ly sealed incubator in which he had
deposited the eggs of the bisquito, az
he called the new insect. He had pre-
pared the eggs carefully, cutting each
egg in two and then gluing the real
end of mosquito egg to the fore-end
of bee egg. He did this with sew.

than one or two of the eggs would
hatch, but the results far exceeded his
expectations
The 9Th of August was a warm day
and Uncle Ashdod was but lightly cad
when he entered his attic. When he
took the lid off the butter tub he ut.
tered an exclamation of surprise, for
it seemed that every egg had hate he'd.

1t angered the bee and the mosquito,
and at the same moment that the
mosquito angrily bit him on the right
ear the bee arose in its might and
swatted it's singer into his left ear
up to the handle.
1t was Immediately after that-with-
in one-tenth of second-that Uncle
Ashdod saw where great improve
ment could be made in bees and mos
Quitos. He says his ear began to
swell Immediately, but that before it
had swelled enough to notice he had
decided that the rear end of a bee
could be greatly mod: fed for the bet
ter. He also says that few men could
think of two things at the same time,
but that at the same moment that he
thought Of improving the bee he real
lied that the front end of a mosquito
would be more popular with humanity
If the stinger wasn't on it.
So, as soon as he got home, he set
to work thinking how to improve the
bee and the mosquito, and the more
he thought about it the surer he be-
came that life was too short for one
man to improve both separately and
that the right thing to do would be to
mix the breeds of bees and mos
Quitos. He said that the only OBJ
jectionable part of the bee was its
after-deck and rudder, so to speak,
and that the mean part of the mos
quito was its fore-deck and bowsprit,
and what the world had been longing
for these many centuries was a com.
hination of the fore-end of the bee and
the rear-end of the mosquito, thus
forming one sweet and useful insect.
About that time bald-headed man
from Chicago came to Betzville to get
material for "History of the Promi-
nent Citizens of Ringtail County,"
the cost of the book being only ten
dollars, including the insertion of a
handmade biography of the purchaser
as one of the most prominent of all.
and $25 additional for steel enerav-
ing with a firm but gentle look. He
strongly urged Uncle Ashdod to fall
for it, saying that Uncle Ashdod had
bunch of the most biographical look
ing whiskers in all Ringtafl county,
and that now was the time to be steel
engraved, before the price of steel
went up. But Uncle Ashdod bade him
wait. He told the man from Chicago
that he would gladly uplift Amer
ican literature by contributing his face
and biography. but that he would not
be ready until about potato-digging
time. The fact was that Uncle Ash
dod did not want his biography until
he could run into it the facts about
the creation of the stingless bee an!
the biteless mosquito, and he hoped,
by the time pumpkins were ripe, to

manner and then he put his hand on
the back of his neck and yelped like a
painful dog. The experiment had
been great success. and one end of
each mosquito was annexed to one
end Of each bee, but Uncle Ashdod
had got the wrong ends of them. Each
blsquito had bees stinger on it's
nose and mosquitoes bitter on it's tail.
and they were ambidextrous, as one
might say. They worked something
like see-saw. A bisquito could bal
ance on it's legs on a tender spot. and
then see-saw up and down, and at
each teeter the stinger on one end
would do its dire work. Ry the time
Uncle Ashdod reached the attic door
the whole production of his bisouito
factory was showing him how it was
done.
Uncle Ashdod was seen pass;no
through Main street at about 3:30
o'clock accompanied by all the his.
quitos known to be in existence. and
he was on the jump, and at eyerv
jump he let forth yell, but at the
speed at which he was travelling tho

umph or mere expression of annov
ance. 1t was later learned that he
had no thought at the time of ex.
pressing his triumph, but was simplv
hiking for the swimming hole in the
creek.
Three days later the bioeranhe,
from Chicago found him there with
only his nose above water while sew
eral hundred bisquitos sat patiently
on log near by. Occasionally a his
quito would fly toward Uncle Ashdod
who would then duck and swallow
quart of creek water. The gentleman
from Chicago mentioned the subiec,
of the biographical history to Uncle
Ashdod at the time, but he did M,
wait for an answer. It seems that

all the way back to Betzville. and the

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense itching Humor
SCRATCHED Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in Cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found a remedy
In Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it since he was cured.
