WOE BROUGHT MOTHER FOX
Tragic Moments for Vixen After She
Had Carried Poisoned Food to
Her Litter.

On one Of the large estates in Hing
ham, few weeks ago, fox was found
to be destroying poultry. The time of
the raids, and their holiness, were
proof enough that the fox must be a
female with young. Poisoned meat
was prepared for her, and at once the
raids ceased. A few days later one OF
the workmen of the estate came upon
the den of a fox, at the mouth OF
which lay dead a whole litter of young
ones. They had been poisoned. The
mother had not eaten the doctored
food herself, but had carried it home
to her family. They must have died
in the burrow, for it was evident from
the signs that she had dragged them
out into the fresh air to revive them,
and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole. Then in her per-
plexity she had brought various It'd
bits of mouse and bird and rabbit and
placed at their noses to tempt them
to wake up out of their strange sleep
and eat as hungry children ought to
eat Who knows how long she watch
ed beside the still forms, and what
her emotions were? She must have
left the neighborhood soon after, how
ever, for no one has seen her since
about the estate.-Dallas Lore Sharp,

GENIUS OFTEN A MENACE.

Children of exceptional mental bril-
1iancy are even greater dangers to So
ciety than those defective or abnor-
mally stupid. This is the conclusion
of DR. Macmillan P E. Groszmann of
the United States bureau of education
in a report made public the other day.
The educational expert based his state
ment on the comprehensive study
made in the schools Of the United
States.
1T is often the exceptionally bright
child, or even the genius, whom we
find on the wrong side" said DR..
Groszmann. THE stupid and weak
minded criminal is not SO dangerous
as the clever and intellectual Grim
inal"
AS a remedy for the uplift of mis-
guided Juveniles the scientist advo-
Gates united effort on the part of edu-
Gators, medical men, social workers,
charity organizations, welfare socie-
ties, Juvenile courts and other agen-
cies. He declares in his report that
all of the separate organizations are
doing commendable work in this con-
neetion but that joint action is neces-
sary. He also advocates the passage
of legislation giving the community
the right to direct the educational
training of every child.

PENSION FOR BURR.
His Application Found in Musty
Records.
Writing as Legible as IL Only Month
Old and Dated 1884. When the
Revolutionary Veteran Was
70 Years Old.

Washington. - The application OF
Aaron Burr of revolutionary fame for
q pension has been unearthed among
the musty files of the pension bureau.
Secretary Lane has dispatched it to
the Smithsonian institution, suggest
ing that place as the proper depository
for such an interesting document. The
application is in an excellent state of
preservation.
The writing is as legible as If writ
ten a month ago and the paper is still
intact. The signature of the applicant
is modestly placed in the lower right
hand corner and read "A. Burr" There
are four pages of the application.
which is dated in 1884, and is closely
written on both sides Of legal size pa
per. Therein is set forth that Colonel
Burr, the applicant, is seventy-elght
years old, and that he enlisted in 1775
at the age of eighteen.
1t is further recited that the appli-
cant's first important expedition was
with General Arnold on the campaign
in Canada. At that time he was aid
to General Montgomery, who was kill
ed in the attack on Quebec. Young
Burr's next assignment was as aid to
General Arnold, who was in command
of the invading army at that time. La
ter he was aid to General Putnam and
was present at the battles of Long
Island and White Plains"
The papers also declare that Burr
was made lieutenant colonel by Gen
eral Washington; that his health be-
came impaired and that he made sew
eral attempts to resign on that &C
count, and his resignation was accept
ed conditionally and with protest by
General Washington, but before 1t took
effect Colonel Burr was persuaded to
undertake the destruction of British
biockhouse on the Bronx river, which
he accomplished most successfully,
and was then persuaded to forego his
intention to resign and continued in
active service until 1881.
Among other papers in the file is
copy of letter to Colonel Burr from
George Washington, dated "Headquar-
tiers Frederick, 26 October, ITS" The
substance of this letter is found in the
following quotation:
You in my opinion carry your ideas
Of delicacy too far, when you propose
to drop your pay while the recovery OF
your health necessarily requires your
absence from the service. 1t is not
customary, and it would be unjust.
You therefore have leave to retire un-
til your health is so far re-established
as to enable you to do your duty"

LED HOST IN PATH OF DUTY

asked the host: do you go to

he admitted inwardly that he had
been neglecting the church going of
late.
We'll. let's go to church." said Tenn
ple, who is nine years old.
Would you like to go with me or
would you boys just as soon go with

DELIBERATELY GO TO DEATH
Cases of Suicide Among the Lower An.
finals That Are Seemingly Well
Authenticated.

According to the humane society OF
Spokane horse deliberately commit
ted suicide there the other day. The
animal was decrepit and had been de-
serted. Too weak to eat solid food, he
was tethered in front OF a patch Of
clover. He sampled the clover, and
then, according to the report, DELHI
eratel plunged headlong off a bluff
overlooking the river few feet away
and was later found dead.
Naturalists have frequently related
the suicide of animals through grief.
Probably the oldest one of all is that
told by DR.. Ezekiel Henderson, the
traveller, Of tigress whose cubs had
been taken away from her by the
agents of one of the large circus me-
nageries of the United States. The
party came upon the tigers den while
hunting Asia for exhibits. They took
four cubs and crossed a nearby river
with them, destroying the primitive
tree trunk bridge after they had
reached the other side.
The tigress, returning, and finding
her cubs gone, bounded by scent down
to where the party had crossed the
stream. She knew of the tree trunk,
having made use of it herself before.
When she saw it was gone she uttered
the most piercing and lamentable
howls and cries. The party with her
cubs came back to the river bank, at
tracted by the noise. The tigress,
when she saw her cubs, gave vent to
an unearthly shrek. Then crouching,
rising and recrouching again several
times, she deliberately sprang from
the river bank. The river was five
times wider than she could have been
expected to leap, and leaping animals
are close calculators. She fell twenty
five feet into the stream. She came
up once, turned toward the distant
shore, threw her head back and sank
for good. A clear case Of suicide the
DOCTOR called it.

Easy Way to XIII MoIes.

An excellent way to exterminate
moIes is as follows: Prepare small
can of calcium carbide, which can be
purchased from an automobile or BIZ
cycle dealer, open the hole where the
mole has been digging and place some
of the carbide in it.
Pour two or three gallons of water
into the hole and close up the open
ing. In about Is or 20 minutes open
the hole and Immediately ignite the
gas formed.
Be careful in lighting the gas. A
gas lighter or a match placed in the
end of long stick should be used.
The gas will burn for a few sec
onds and ther it will back-fre in the
hole. There will be no more trouble
from the moIe.-Popular Mechanics.
