As countryman was sowing his

Crafty Master Fox.

A fox was one day seen coming out
Of a pile Of stones near the water
side. He hid In the heather for
awhile and then pushed out some
thing on the water, which proved to
be a bunch of moss. The. wind took
1t into the middle Of the lake and
blew it past some ducks sitting on the
surface. Having watched his venture
for perhaps ten minutes with appar-
emit satisfaction and observed that it
neared the ducks without arousing
their suspicious, our friend began to
collect another and larger bunch Of
moss, which he allowed to float In the
same direction, but this time he swan
behind 1t, taking care to show only his
eyes and nose above water. Just as
It was passing the group Of ducks he
made sudden dive, pulled down a
bird and swan back to shore under
water. Arrived there, he carried the
duck to the pile Of heather, where his
wife and daughter were no doubt
waiting to enjoy the fruits of his la

Some Troubles Of ! Pianist.


Harold Bauer, the pianist, has had
some curious experiences during his
travels. <
While playing In Barcelona he was
challenged to fight a duel by an ex-
cited member of the audience whom
he had reproved for disturbing the re-
cital by his noisy conduct On another
occasion, in Italy, he had to be car
ried through an underground tunnel
to escape the attentions of frantic ad-
mirers. &-
One Of his most extraordinary expe.
riences was in Russia. 1t was in a
little town near Moscow, and in the
middle Of his performance the pianist
was arrested by the police on the
grounds that he was obtaining money
under false pretenses. The police ac-
ton was based on the grounds that a
Hungarian dance appeared on the pro-
gram and that there were no dancers.
They overlooked the terrible fact that
Mr.. Bauer had played two marches
without single soldier being present.

CuriositY Not SfilIed.


A certain Tombs prisoner landed In
fail almost penniless. He was man
who had figured IN a number of the
towns shady transactions, and his
name was pretty well known. A few
days after his incarceration he wrote
to friend asking for monthly allow
ance of $40 to be continued during his
term of imprisonment. The friend, re-
membering past favors, RENTED the
amount each month during period
that covered two trials and the long
time intervening. One day 1t occurred
to him to inquire into the manner Of
expanding the allowance. He supposed
It was used to buy occasional extra
meals, few cigars and newspapers,
but Just as matter Of curiosity he
asked for particulars. He found to
his establishment that the prisoner had
never ordered an extra meal and had
not smoked cigar all the time he had
been in jail.
Then what In thunder" demanded
the man, "have you been doing with

Subterranean Caves That Are Lined
With Crystalline Ice.
There are deep cavities and tunneled
recesses in the earth far away from
sunlight and held in the tight embrace
OF rocky strata where secret boards Of
glittering ice find habitation all the
year round. Yet down in these queer
places the ice is as clear and chrys-
talline as any that nature maintains
In the open air. Moreover, it occurs on
a truly grand and massive scale.
Imagine thick underground ice walls
and floors and craftily assured col
umns beautiful in shape and color
streaming from roof to floor Of lofty
rock chambers! And under the slow
drip, drip, drip Of percolating water
this same ice learns to fashion itself
into cave adornments- frozen water
drops. curling slopes, stalactites and
stalagmites of fantastic shape and
rainbow hues.

Athletic club Sunday afternoon.
1t was a good draw i'm the opinion of
most of the spectators. although il was
apparent throughout that Attell was
not extending himself, He let his
younger opponent do nearly all the
leading, putting in an occasional flash
of brilliant offensive work when the
crowd began to show signs of weari-
ness.
Neither man was ever I'm danger, as
Attell easily evaded what looked like
dangerous blows and Conley was
tough enough to withstand the sting
ing jabs and hooks which Attell land
ed on him from time to time.
Conley showed little science. but his
aggressiVeness earned him a draw.
Both men were strong at the finish.
Neither man showed signs of distress
when the gong sounded for the final
round. II was the fastest round of all.
but the blows were short and without
much damage.
Although fighting is limited to twen-
ty rounds here an effort will be made
to match Conley and Attel for a finish

Labor Unions Unfriendly Attitude
Discussed by General Weaver,
Who Offers Solution of
Problem
STATE CONSTABULARY INSTEAD
This Would Relieve Militia Of Police
Duty and Make il Force For
National Defense Only.
Falling OFF Noted.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 1.-THE
towards the organized militia has
created a pessimistic feeling among the
officers of the army and National
Guard, which is reflected strongly In
the annual report OF Col Weaver, chief
of the division of the militia.
Officers say it is almost hopeless to
expect any relief from present condi-
tions by the enactment of state laws
or through any national law that
would restrain unions from their un-
friendly attitude. The preachings of
patriotiam are of no effect even where
t is shown the sole purpose Of the
militia is the maintenance OF law and
order, and in Weaver's opinion the
only real practical solution of the
problem lies in the creation by the
other states of state constabulary on
the lines of the highly trained and
disciplined constabulary of Pennsyl-
vanial to supplement the efforts OF
local police or constabulary i'm the re-
preston Of disorder. II is believed
the labor unions would then come to
look upon the militia as a force for
national defense rather than as state
police, and in course of time their op-
position would disappear.
Perhaps for the reason indicated.
Weaver suggests, the increase in the
strength of the National Guard was
only a trihing during the past year.
According to the latest returns this
strength was 9,155 officers and 11O505
men. which was a net increase of only
7S4 over the preceding year.
IL is a curious fact Hawaii shows the
greatest percentage of militiamen to
the population, the number being us
per thousand. while Nevada had not a
single mlitiaman in the organized
ranks. And the average of the whole
country was very low. being III mill
tiamen to every thousand of popula-
tion.
Forecasting n elimination i'm the
functions of the present militia the
report makes a strong plea for the
creation of an efficient national re-
serve of about 100000 men. practically
on the lines of the Swiss army, which
would permit the retention OF the SER
vice at the best of the citizen soldiery
under federal control without demand
ing of the officers and men more time
from their civilian employments than
is now required for instruction in the
best state militia organizations. This
would be a part of the regular army.
continuing with the regular army and
militia. the first line of defense in
case of war.
II is asserted that under the law
and constitution citizen soldiery can
only be provided along these lines.

INHERITANCE TAX INVOLVED

review eight decisions of the lower
