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 boldness, were
proof enough that the fox must be
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 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 1t 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,

DRlNKER IS THE MARKED MAN
Announcement by Churchill Shows
Evidence of Widespread Change
In Habits of Seamen.

In the British house OF commons re-
Gently Mr.. Churchill made a most in
teresting announcement which shows
in a somewhat conspicuous manner
how the change IN drinking habits has
affected the navy. Heretofore a sailor
who did not want the grog ration un-
fortunately allowed, has been marked
"T"-meaning the teetotal exception
to the rule. IL the future II is the
sailor wanting the grog ration who is
to be labeled. Over against his name
will be the mark "G"-meaning grog.
The position is thus reversed and the
drinker instead of the abstainer will
be the marked man, The change is
not little significant. It is EVIDENCE
OF a widespread and salutary change
in the habits Of the seamen and the
views of his superiors.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC HELPS VICE
Thirty Of Most Tawdry Resorts Of
New York City Earn an Aegre-
gate Of 100000 Annually.

The results of the painstaking In
vestigation into vice conditions In
New York, conducted by the Rookie
Teller bureau of social hygiene, have
been given to the public. The frank
statements of facts discovered read
like chapters from the history of the
dark ages. Naming the saloons, the
dance halls and the so-called massage
parlors as recruiting places where In
nocent girls seeking legitimate recrea-
ton are enticed, ruined and forced to
become a part OF the gigantic traffic
in womanhood, the report makes the
accusation that most of the wreck
age, and the worst of it, is due to
persistent, cunning and unprinclpled
exploitation; to the banding together
in Infamous enterprises Of madame,
procurer, brother-keeper and liquor
vender 20 carry on deliberately cold
booded traffic for their Joint profit;
a traffic, be it added, from which the
girl involved procures at the most,
with few exceptions. her bare subsis-
tence, and that only so long as she
has a trade value"
The part played in this abominaDle
business by the liquor interests is
again brought out in the statement
that thirty of the NEST tawdry resorts
of New York earn in the aggregate at
least s2,0O0.00O annually, exclusive OF
the enormous profits derived from the
Illicit sale of liquor and tobacco at
exorbitant prices.
Greed for gold ia the foundation OF
the whole unholy system, and the
liquor interests with their millions
are back of It all

Chicago vice commission, gave # as

INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY
No Use for Police Station In New Yea
land Town After Passage Of
No-Llcense Law.

The following interesting bit of his
tory is given by Rev. G. II. Mann of
New Zealand:
Just before this system (prohibi-
tom came into operation, plans were
passed for enlarging the police station
of Geraldine, but on the eve OF cleo
ton the work was delayed for while.
That police station has never been
enlarged to this day. l was in the
station and found that one OF the
cells had been turned into a dark
room for photography, another was
used for making picture blocks, an
other was lumber room, while an
other was used as storeroom for
the sergeant's gardening tools. 1
asked where the prisoners were kept
and was told there were none. For
a straight run of sixteen weeks after
the passing of no-license there was
no business whatever for the magis-
trate in that town"

stances much more. Hanging in long
rows in the icy cold rooms are the
carcasses of 400 beeves and hogs and
sheep in due proportion. In other
rooms, not so cold, are $50 tons of po-
tatoes, and vast quantities of onions,
turnips, beets, carrots, cabbages,
yams, celery, tomatoes and other veg
etables. In yet other rooms are ten
tons of poultry, and elsewhere are
boxes Of fruit without number And
this enormous supply is daily depleted
and daily renewed.
Adjoining the cold storage plant is
the bakery, in whose immense ovens
are baked each working day about
10000 loaves of bread, 1900 rolls and
$50 pounds OF cake. The coffee de-
partment, which roasts and sends out
about 100000 pounds of the roasted

The people of the zone, white and
black alike, are very fond of ice
cream, and to supply the demand the

The first grade is as good ice cream
as one can get anywhere, and even
the third grade is mighty welcome
