MORE QUEER DOIN'S IN THE

My Dear Sir: How is the following
for high life? Tip Harrison has
been getting three hundred dollars a
year; the board meets only four
times a year, consequently Tip
received seventy-fve dollars for three
hours work, that being the number
of hours in session each meeting.
Tip will get, this year, fifty-dollars
for three hours work, two hundred
dollars for twelve hours work The
board reduced his salary one hum
dred dollars and placed it on DR..
Fox's salary. The Matron has been
receiving forty dollars month; she
will get, this year, fifty dollars a
month. Fox will get seven hun
dred dollars a year. He is not
engaged one hour a week in the
interest of the Home; seven hun
dred dollars for fifty-two hours
work. It is an outrage.

made after him in full cry, and on
came the men and women riders. The
fox did not run well. 1t was evident
that he had fed recently.
After a run Of a mile he was in full
view Of the pack, and the riders were
not far behind. He headed toward
East Norwich. and all the hounds
n horses were gaining on him.
Nearing the outskirts of East Nor
witch the fox raced on the farm Of
Davis Weeks. Mr.. Weeks recently
sold his place and was packing up to
move. He and his wife were on the
rear porch when the fox leaped the
porch banisters and dived through a
over window into the house. With
a quick turn he bolted into the hall,
ran up the stairs. scampered across
other rooms to the front hall, down
the stairs. and a front window.
Then came the pack. The leader
bounded through the window Just as
the fox had done n followed his
trail through the house n out the
front window. The other dogs DASH
ed through an open door and took up
the scent in the house. racing
through 1t and then out the front
window.
The hunters now were all about
the house. For a few seconds they
seemed to lose their bearings, but the
bay Of the dogs in the front again
brought them galloping after the
pack.
The fox vas fast losing ground.
For a mile farther On he led the
dogs. Then the leader overto-k him.
