UNCLE SANS LONG ARM.
An Illustration of the Efficiency Of
Our Government-It Is the Peoples
Government, Too.

The arrest in SIX cities of men
charged with operating an extensive
stock swindling scheme to defraud
through the use of the mails shows
how long is the arm of Government.
A cumbersome. slow moving machine
the Government may seem to many
persons. but the mills of Uncle Sam.
like those of the gods. grind slowly but
surely. Once the Government is on
the track of swindlers using the mails
to defraud, and the chase does not end
until the quarry is driven into the
penitentiary.
In the constant criticism against
public officials and the Government it
self one is apt to forget the virtues of
an orderly and lawful administration
OF the country's affairs. The fact that
eounterfeiters are hunted down and
prosecuted: that mail frauds are pun
ished: that the Illicit distilling of
whisky is banned is taken as a matter
of course.
1t is wen to remember. however.
that 10 keep the mails inviolate and
free from fraud, to detect counterfeits
and similar offences against the Gov
eminent requires eternal vigilence and
efficiency. No offence against the
mails is too unimportant to warrant
the operation of all the Governments
forces against the offender. The Gov
eminent enforces the rule that the alb
solute inviolability of the mails must
be preserved. The secrets of no man
or woman would be safe if the Gov
eminent relaxed it's virgil for a single
minute, and there is no person SO UNI
important that he cannot call into OPP
Grafton all the energy of the Govern
ment if one of his letters has been
tempered with. 1t is also for the pro-
lection of the Individual, as well as
the public generally, that the Govern
ment takes such pains to prosecute to
the limit of the law all persons using
the mails to defraud. The Govern
ment does not permit the swindler to
use the mails as a means for law
breaking, and the recent arrests show
how swiftly Uncle Sam can act when
he goes upon the trail of crime

FOX FARMING a GOLD MINE.
How a Canadian Stumbled Upon the
Making Of a Fortune.

Some wears ago one Lamb, while
hunting some strayed cattle in the
woods, found TWO silver-fox pups, a
male and female, in a hollow log. He
contrived to carry them home, and
snapped them with neighbor for a
COW and a few dollars to boot. The
neighbor experimental for several
years with various kinds of pens and
treatment, but finally became dis
Outraged and sold the foxes for $50 to
another neighbor, who also was no
more successful than the late owner.
This second man gave over his expert
ment to third man, who lived on an
island in Cascumpec bay. The quiet
of the new place, the increasing tame
ness of the foxes, and the intelligence
of the new keeper produced conditions
that relieved Nine Reynard's nervous
apprehension for her youngs safety,
and three pups were reared to maturi-
ty in two seasons. This success, the
result of eight years experimentation,
gave a strong>impulse to brand new
industry. Farmers have not many
new industries to turn to nowadays,
and this one began in earnest. About
six men possessed a knowledge of the
fine art of rearing foxes in captivity,
and jealousy guarded their secret I'M
til 1910. Up to that time no live foxes
We're sold except some light "silvers
to distant places.
The surplus animals We're killed and
the pelts marketed in London. One
dark silver pelt was sold for $4,000 at
a London auction and in 1901 prices
of $4,000 ana $500 were obtained.
Since then as much as $4,000 has been
realized, the highest price ever paid
for a pelt of any kind of animal.
Now that the secret is out fox farms
are springing up in Canada in all di-
rections, and henceforth it would seem
that the production of costly fur is
only a problem for the animal hus-
bandman. Perhaps the day will soon
come when books of fox, marten, otter
and mink pedigrees will be published.
One fox-farm recently visited by the
writer on the banks of the st. Law
renee contained IS animals, for which
the owner demanded $75.0O0-The

HELEN M. GOULD
DECIDES TO WE'D
FINLAY SHEPARD.

Lakewood, n. J., Dec. 15.-An-
nouncement of the engagement of
Miss Helen Miller Gould of New
York to Finlay j. Shepard, prom
inent railroad man of st Louis, was
made. tonight at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. George j. Could here.
il was said that details OF ahe tim.
ana place of the wedding would be
withheld for the present and this
statement was confirmed upon inquiry
at the residence of Miss Gould in New
YORK.
Mr. Gould announced his sisters
engagement in formal statement
which read: Mr.. and Mrs. George ].
Gould announce the engagement Of
their sister, Miss Helen Miller Gould
to Mr.. Finley j. Shepard of st. Louis"
Asked whether he desired to say
anything additional concerning the
engagement, Mr.. Gould laughed and
remarked that There will be moth
ing more, except that this engagement
is most pleasing to Mrs. Gould and
myself"
Mr.. Shepard has long been prom
inently identified with railroad and
financial affairs in the West. He is
at present assistant to the president
of the Missouri Pacific Railroad with
headquarters in st. Louis.
Upon the death of her father, jay

years old. inherited fortune Of
about S10,00000o 1t has been esti-
mated that by investment she has
trebled this fortune and at the same
time she has devoted fully half of
her time to benefactions which
brought her into world prominence.
During the Spanish American War
she gave much time and several hum
bred thousands of dollars to the re-
lief Of sick and wounded soldiers, for
which she received the thanks of
Congress. In 1899, she led a woman's
movement for the unseating of Brig
ham H. Roberts, congressman from
Utah, as a demonstration against po-
lygamy; later she became devoted
to the interests of railroad employees.
and toward the establishment of the
Railroad Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION she gave her personal at
tention and upwards of million dol
lars. Several railroad Y. NJ. c.. A.
buildings, others for naval men and
several for the Young Woman's

erected in cities throughout the Unit
ed States through her generosity She
has never been attracted by society.

MESSAGES OF SYM
PATTY FROM WORLD,

Washington, Dec. ~15-News of the
death in London, today, of Ambassa
dor Reid came as a shock to official
Washington. for it had not been gen
orally realized that Mr.. Reds Illness
was of a serious nature. President
Taft paid unusual tribute to the late
ambassador and expressed his grief
in cable reply to a message of sor-
row from Kirlg George of Great Brit
ain, which cached the White House
early today. The President also sent
his sympathy to Mrs Reid. Through
ais own personality Mr.. Reid, the
President said, had drawn America
and Great Britain together in closer
friendship.
The Kings message said: 1T is with
the deepest sorrow that I have to in
form you of the death of Mr., White
law Reid, at noon, today. AS your am
bassador in this country his loss will
be since rely deplored, while person.
ally l $ hall mourn for an old friend
OF many years standing. for whom
] had tile greatest regard and respect.
The Queen and sympathize most
warmly with Mrs. Whitelaw Reid in
her heavy sorrow"
your Majesty's sad news of the
death Of Mr. Whitelaw Reid has just
reached me-" replied the President.
Mr.. Reds death is a loss to both
eountri es, for his service as ambassa
dor was exceptional in the closer
friendship that he secured between
them through his own personality. His
intimate knowledge Of both countries,
his profound respect and love for Eng
land. entirely consistent with the
highest loyalty on his part TO this
county, gave him peculiar influence
for good in his great station. / sin
cerely thank Your Majesty for your
message and yotir expressions Of
sympathy and respect"
To Mrs. Reid the President cabled:
Mrs. Taft and / extend TO you our
deepest sympathy in your great sor-
row. The country has lost most able
and loyal public servant. Mr.. Reds
death ends on of the most notable
of the careers of the great men who
have represented this nation in Lon
don. He has exercised personal in
fiuence that was exceptional in main
tanning the close friendship of the
two countries and he has been sue
cessful in remarkable degree in the
| two very heavy branches of his duty
the one of pure diplomacy and the
other the offering to tae thousands
of Americans who have frequented
I London during his ineumbeney, a
friendly hospitality that made all OF
i them feel at home, We hope that the
thought of the great name he leaves
VIII in time mitigate your grief"

the Panhandle. No one knows when
The 'Dobe Walls were built, but an en-
terprising trader reaching the heart
of the buffalo land fixed them up as a
trading post. and there the hide hunt
ers bought their supplies.
The story of the fight had been re-
told and rewritten many times. Med
icine men of the Cheyennes and the
kiowas had made war shirts which
they said the white mans bullets
could not pierce. Secure in this belief,
two hundred or three hundred Indians
went over to take the post. Singing,
they came at an easy lope at day
break, in two straight columns across
the valley. 1t was a sight not easy to
forget, When they were within one
hundred yards of the place they threw
off their robes and blankets and
charged down upon the camp. Ordi-
narily, the trading post boosted but at
the most three men. BY some chance
nineteen had gathered there the night
before to lay in their supplies. Billy

ranks Two of the hunters, with wag-
ions loaded ready to return to their
own camps, had slept outside. They
ran for the house. but could not make
it. Dixon pulled one man through the
doorway. hut he died just across the
threshold. The men inside loaded and
shot and reloaded. Thrills were plen-
tiful. An Indian boy shot through the
breast, rode twice around the house,
hammering the walls with his six
shooter before he fell from his horse.
Three times the Indians charged. They
fought all day. while the Indian wo
men and children on a bluff across
the valley watched and sang. AT sun
down they retreated, leaving the
ground strewn with lances, robes and
buffalo hide shields, mute evidence of

THE LONDON NEWSPAPERS.
Homage Paid to Late United States
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid.


London. Dec. 1.-THE Times in an
editorial Says.
The Kings message to President
Taft speaks the feelings of the ma
ton. Tie Presidents reply declares
that MIR. Reid's death is loss to both
countries No greater homage could
he paid the memory of any man who
had in keeping the interests of either,
and to have deserved such a tribute is
proof that he understood and fulfilled
the highest object Of his mission and
his duty in securing closer friendship
between them.
THE secret of his success is simple.
He knew both countries We'll and while
absolutely true and loyal To his own,
he never found that loyalty incompet-
able with profound respect and love
for England. He abundantly upheld
the great traditions of the position
which a long array of statesmen, emf
nent for their abilities, renowned for
their literary gifts and distinguished
FOR their social charm and his taetful
labors he was ever aided by the lady
in whose sorrow England and Amer
ice condole, today.
All the morning papers express the
profoundest regret and a deep sense
of the loss both countries have suffered
through the death of Whitelaw Reid
and pay the highest tributes to his
work.
The Daily Chronicle says;
IN him America loses one OF her
most distinguished intellectual eiti-
zens who raised to a high level the
lofty traditions established by a long
line OF distinguished amba ssadors
among whom he will hold a high and
honored place.
He was the finest product of the old
world with much of the keenness of
the younger hemisphere. He was Il
great editor, an adept in diplomacy.
England will feel keenly the loss of
an ambassador who always strove to
the utmost to cement the friendship
of the two countries"
lie Daily News says:
Mr.. Reid was a figure of distinction
in any assembly. His geniality had
established him firmly in the affections
of the English people. His seven
years tenure of the Enthusiastically
has seen the abolition of nearly every
cause of friction between England
stacles which had obstinately resist
ed generations of diplomacy
The Daily Telegraph in an editorial
says:
Mr.. Reid will be remembered in
England as cordial host, an irresis-
tible personality, an ambassador, who
die more than any other man to draw
closer, the natural ties between Great
Britain and the United States"
The Pest says editorially:
'Englishmen feel that they have lost
one who did much to give the people
of England and America a more sym
pathetic comprehension of each others
virtues, a larger liberation Of eacn
others faults"
The Daily Graphic says;
1.-THE excellence of his ambassador
ship lies in the fact that no period of
Anglo American relations was less
troubled than that of his residence
among us"
