That Foxes ReiaS Each Other and
Soon Exhaust the Hounds.

Another bit OF deviltry that gives the
fox much joy In the worrying of the
hounds is the leading them in the chase
by relays" says an authority in the New
York Sun. This becomes a serious
habit Of the fox when he and his wife
are raising a family. At such times the
male fox alert for trouble, lies several
feet from their kennel. II he is disturbed
by dogs beating about in search for his
trail. away he goes, leading them a
lively chase.
"A weIl-bred foxhound viii run from

and ten miles an hour when at a con-
siderable distance behind a fox. At
distance of only a hundred yards or so

fox, he knows of its proximity by the
warmth Of the scent. and he viii then

being kept at high speed are exhausted
and are forced to give up the chase with

AT this sound. well understood by
the foxes, the fox that hears 1t answers

CHURCH BOY FAINTS AS

Marshal SitteII Thinks He Has
Acid ThroWer-Youth Be-
IieveS Him Thug

A good story is going the rounds in
the federal offices on Albert G. Sittell,
chief deputy United States marshal for
the southern district of California, IA
miliarly termed the pay check" man
among the government deputies.
Sittell bears an enViable reputation
as a sleuth. Returning to his nome
a dark night during the "Redfern" ex-
citement, when the San Francisco acid
thrower was supposed to be in hiding
in Los Angeles, Sittell brushed past a
stockily built young man in the street.
The rays of an arc light showed him
a freckled face, a pudgy nose and red
hair. He stepped into the shadow of a
nearby tree to observe the young fell
low closely, and his curiosity was at
once aroused by the young mans ac-
tions.
Sitten saw him dart under tree,
saw him spring away and run across
the street and repeat his action.
Drawing his revolver the deputy mar
shall crept after him, carefully conceal
ing himself in the shadows. The young
fellow walked nimbly here and there,
halting each time by a tree or post.
Block after block Sttel followed his
man, gaining little by little on him
until with sudden spring he covered
him with his gun and cried, Hands
up!"
They were standing under an arc
light. Sittell saw the young mans
face pale, the first emotion experience
had taught him a criminal shows, es-
pecially an amateur at the game.
"T-t-take all | got, but d-o-oon't t
kill me-" suffered the young fellow as
he gazed into the long black barrel of
the gun. AS he spoke his hands shot
above mis- head like piston rods and he
tainted.
Quick to thwart any deception Sittell
bent over the boy and felt for a gun.
His hand touched hard lump in the
coat pocket. Still covering the pros
trate figure with his weapon, Sittell
drew carefully wrapped package from
the young mans pocket. With one
eye on the package and the other on
the boy the chief deputy unwrapped the
little bundle. 1t contained number Of
cards. He raised one to the light. 1t
read: "Revival meetings all this week.
Come, bring your family. It's free"
A look of disgust spread over sit
tells face. Still covering the boy, who
showed signs of recovering his senses,
he stepped to the arc light post and
scanned a similar card tackled care

Sittell smiled now. He helped the
young fellow to his feet, showed him
government star and sent him on his
way. AS the officer retraced his steps

He wanted to tell it to the boys at the
office, but he waited until yesterday.

So spoke Jacob Lockman, trundler of fruit
cart. as he was being booked at central
police headquarters last night, charged with
peddling without license.
Only three days ago Jacob was released
from the city Jail, after serving five days for
a similar ofense. At that time the fruit
peddler thought IT better to remain in jail
than pay the IS fine.
Last night he bemoaned his fate and spoke
scathingly of the police department, and in
an oratorical outburst declared he would not
pay the IS bail required for his release.
Finally, however, he thought better of 1t
and drew out a worn leather bag. After much
exertion. interrupted by much argument he
produced the required S. He had two silver
dollars two half dollars, three quarters and

Jacob moaned as he counted the remainder

MIKE LOSES BAZOOLAS
IN RAZOR WHIRLWIND
Jail Prisoner Submits Face to
Barber's Attack on the
Moving Record

A Los Angeles barber broke the
worlds time record for shaving yes

inmate of the county Jail serving thirty
days for vagrancy. The barber is
Charles Cooley. crack tonsorial artist
of fashionable Fourth street shop,
patronized by the pink checked elect.
His subject was Mike Dunavan, age
40, beard stiff and occupation traveller,
by grace of the freight 'car beams.
Cooley relieved ,Dunavan of his hair
in one minute and a fraction of a sec
ond. DunaVan needed the shave and
desired to kill time. 1t was hanging
heavy on his hands.
Several rival razor wielders had
questioned Cooley's ability to work the
worlds record. He decided to "show
'em." A canvass for a subject was
begun. While Cooley bears a good
reputation among the pink tea" trade,
his custom refused to entertain any
idea of facing the race against time.
Some one suggested the county Jail.
Jailor Gallagher accommodatingly
agreed to loan a prisoner, providing the
prisoner was willing. round dozen
had brush on their "chops" that would
put the Moiave desert to shame.
Eleven absolutely refused to take the
proposition into consideration. But
DundVdl was game. 6eSlueS, ne WIS

The operation took place in the vis-
itlng room of the county Jail. Duna-
van stuck to his seat as if he had
sprouted from it. He wore an ex-
preston on his comical countenance
that resembled a martyr about to so
to his death. But he never batted an
eye Cooleys razor flashed and skim
med through Dunavan's beard like a
big reaper moving May wheat. The
clock licked loudly and time sped, but
Cooley won and Dunavan came out
of the performance looking like a
peeled onion.
"Shure, an thot's t. most notible

heaved a sigh of relief and wiped
