To the west of her home a woodlot had been cleared and in one section of the rub rish they found the remains of many turkeys, chickens and goslings which i had been taken from the farms in that region. Those in pursuit of the thief got glimpse of two foxes near by. Monday morning party was organ fzed and a watch kept. Six foxes were seen and Elijah Babcock killed one with shotgun. All the others es- capped, but a watch is being kept for them, as the den is near the old saw mill site. This summer Mrs. Eliza Main has lost more than 40 turkeys and the blame was placed on dogs. It is probable that the old foxes have been gathering in the poultry to feed their young. The fox killed was a large female. A bounty of $1 is al lowed by the state for the killing of fox, the town making no provision for the killing

Il sembles next week. notwithstand-
ling the efforts of President Wilson
and the Democratic leaders of the
! two houses to focus attention upon
the tariff early in the extra session.
Half dozen currency bills at least
will be ready for Introduction when
Congress meets, it is believed; and
their appearance will mark the be-
ginning of general discussion of
financial reform.
Most of the bills now being pre-
pared represent the views of in

duced as individual bills. Senator
Owen CT Oklahoma and Representa-
tive Glass OF Virginia are working
upon measures which probably will
be submitted first TO the banking
committees of the respective houses
and made the basis for committee
study.
Senator Owen said today that he
would call meeting of the Demo
cratic memters OF the Senate's new
Committee on Banking and Currency
late this week. Tho suggested plans
of currency reform will not be taken
up in detail at that time, however,
Senator Owen practically has com
pleted bill representing his views
of NEEDED reform. and it will be sub
mitted to the committee and studied
with other measures.
Senator owen has not made pun-
lie the details OF his contemplated
bill. nor Indicated the extent to
which ii may provide central
agency under government control.
The bill prepared by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska. another
member of the Senate committee,
which provides for twenty separate
and independent currency associa-
tions in the United States. also will
be introduced.
Senator Weeks OF Massachusetts,, q
Republican member of the Senate

said today that the measure will not
be changed from the form approved
by the monetary commission and IN
which it was introduced into the
last Congress.

"Lieht-Rorse Harry's" Dream.

The relations that existed between
General Washington and his younger
friend, "Light-Horse Harry" Lee-the
father Of Gen. Robert Il. Lee--were
exceedingly close and tender. Il is an
authentic tradition in the Lee family
that Washington regarded the brilliant
young cavalry officer almost in the
light Of son.
Lee was inclined to be spendthTiCt,
and his lavish use Of money often
brought on him the paternal reproof
of his older and more discreet friend
and the reproof was often followed by
affectionate assistance in extricatiug
him from his embarrassmcnts.
Mrs. Washington was almost equal
ly fond of the young officer. who often
made long visits at Mount Vernon.
During one OF his soiourns there Har.
ry Lee remarked to his host at the
breakfast table:
General, had singular dream
