"A Certain Road to Wealth;
Go to Raising Silver Foxes.

r. OK farming is sure road to wealth.
- If you want to sign checks of $4,000
and $4,000 without an extra heart
beat, just begin raising silver foxes
first class skin brings $1,000 today, and to
counterfeit it is impossible.
Since royalty hit upon the brand new fad
of tipping silver fox with gold the pre-
MUM on the skins has gone even higher, for
this particular fur is the only kind which
gives the proper results from the eectrolytic
process.
Princess Victoria Luise, the only daughter
of the German emperor, was the first to intro
duce this new fad and exhibited as one of her
trousseau wraps a magnificent coat which
seemed to glimmer like the rays of the sun.
But only very wealthy women exhibit this
latest dictate of fashion.
Nearly all the silver fox furs come from
Prince Edward island off the Canadian coast
That is the only place in the world where
silver foxes raised under conditions of
partial domestication-the business being so
profitable that up to now its very existence
has been kept secret by the few persons en-
gagged in it..
Silver fox pups born in 1912 have value
of $1,000 to $4,000 apiece. And it is reck-
oned that pair of animals might be expected
under favorable circumstances to yield an

- VERYWHERE in Italy nowadays
r kissing seems decidedly in favor.
- On the streets, in the cafes, on the
broad country roads, and in the mar
row city lanes, osculatory demonstrations of
affection continuously being INDUCED in.
But it hasn't always been So Time was
when the kissing of a woman without the
most definite previous agreement was stern
ly punished. OF course, the degree of pun
ishment depended in part on the age of the
one kissed. The kissing of a young girl was
much more vigorously punished than the
kissing of an older woman.
In Corregano, for example, an unpermit-
ted kiss was fined 500 if the woman were
over 80, $50 if she were between 20 and 80,
and 5000, with likelihood of a year or so
Imprisonment if the defendant were between
II and 20. Rather dangerous work for a
man TO kiss woman unless he knew her
well and his attentions were of the most Sc
rious nature, for she might turn on him and
say that it was entirely without her per-

The festivities commence with the dying,

borhood stops the task he or she is engaged
IN and seizes if possible a. musical instru-
ment Then they begin to parade up and
down the streets singing at the top of their
voices. After several hours of this they re-
tire to the open square of the village and
there feast themselves until they are utterly
satiated. After that they generally make
their way to the house of the dead, and there
they arrange themselves for the night; for in
many of the towns it is a firm belief of the
natives there must be many to stay by q

vinced that it is best for his safety. Although
his popularity is great with hundreds of his
subjects, there are others who see in him an
unwelcomed pawn to impede the progress of
Norway and Queen Maud fears for the life
of her son.
Several reports of assassination have orig
mated just recently ard both the king and
queen are full of anxiety for the safety of
Olaf just two weeks ago a mysterious story
of an attempt to kill Prince Olaf caused great
commotion. A few weeks previous to that an
armed man YVES found hiding in the garden
where Prince Olaf usually plays. The man
was arrested Other men have been arrested,
too, but the facts have been kept quiet.

the joy of living, may be the weight placed in
the scales of fate to decide whether a country
of Europe is to be a republic or a kingdom
The country is Norway.
The little boy is Prince Olaf, Norway's
crown prince.
There is a bill now before the storthing,
in Christiania. which virtually puts a pre-
MUM upon Prince Olafs head. The bill now
before the storthing provides that if the
king and queen of Norway die without male
heir Norway shall become a republic. And
little Prince Olaf aged 10, is the only male
heir.
An exchange little boy for a republic!
1t sounds like page torn from the most
romantic part Of ancient history instead of
what it is, an actual occurrence of today.
A little American boy, "goin' on 'leven'

tion of Prince Olaf The American boys
greatest trouble is whether he will be in fifth
or sixth grade at school: whether he will like
his new teacher, and whether he will get the
right sort of roller skates on his birthday
The days of real sport +" are just opening up
for him. Things are not quite bright
that for little Prince Olaf in Norway.
Yet in spite of the fact that Prince Olaf
seems placed by fate and the Norway stor-
thing in most peculiar position, it isn't to
be believed for a moment that he is unpopu-
lar On the contrary, all of Norway seems
to love the bright, well hammered boy and
the little prince seems to have won the allie
glance of all of his future subjects. If he is
king at all it will be because of this
very popularity.

ster To see him at play it would be hard to
believe that the hand of destiny may use him
as pawn in the formation of a government.
Prince Olaf is popular in Norway that,

boy and not the sturdy, dignifed boy of 10

quently by all the women who saw him at the
palace and during his walks. He was kissed
too much" He said SO himself. The caresses
became so overwhelming that guard of four
policemen and two soldiers was appointed to
be with him constantly and keep him from
receiving all unnecessary and unwelcomed
kisses.
Because his features are regular, because he
is popular, because of his position he has won
the title of THE Most Photographed Boy in
Europe.P Every day some one manages to
take picture of him and because he is full Of
life and energy and is always in high spirits
the pictures usually good ones They por-
tray him just as he is bright faced, sensible
lad, trihe grave because he realizes just
bit the seriousness of his position, but gay,
too, because he is a strong w;deawake boy.

She says that the royal family must leave
Norway because the bill before the storthing
has put price upon Prince Olaf's head.
The little prince himself is all unconcerned
about the dangers that beset him He does
not realize that he is figure marked to play
an odd part in the history of his country. He
has dignity that comes with royal training
He realizes that he is a prince of royal blood,
and it has made him bit more sober than
the average boy of his age. But he does not
realize that on him depends the fate of the
government of Norway.
