THE FISHES

And how can they find their food.
For no worms, nor flies, you know,
Creep about and fly about.
When the ground is white with
snow?
And how can they get the air
When the ice has sealed them in !?
For no wind can penetrate
Ice. no matter though tits thin.
Really, greatly fear
That some very dreadful thing
VIII befall the little fish
'Twixt the autumn and the spring
And when warmer days have come
And l HE me to the brook
l may sit and wait all day
For nibble at my hook.
And when evening shadows fall
! may homeward trudge my way
Without cen a little fish
To show how have spent the day.

The Wild Chase
Story ofWh7te Foot's NarrowEscape

and felt the punishment was un-
just.
Another mile, and White Foot began
to lag. She could almost feel the
breath of the foremost hound. In
another minute his terrible teeth
would close over her frail back. Ugh,
she could imagine the awful agony of
such contact
Just as White Foot was about to
close her eyes and await her fate,
which now seemed to her inevitable,
dark form of immense size came
over the hill before which White Foot
had begun to give way. She felt
she could never gain that ascent, for
her legs were trembling beneath her
and her heart had almost ceased
to beat.
The dark form came over the ledge
of the hill quickly and began to de-
scend right toward White Foot and
her pursuers. Then, seeing the
hounds, the immense creature lifted
its head, snorted. then bent its head
and shook its long horns. Then It
made a lunge toward the barking
dogs, paving the air for a second
before the charge. Then the beast
beloved and the noise seemed to
shake the very earth.
The hounds seemed to forget White
Foot and turned their attention to
the bull that had broken through a
fence in the neighborhood and was
out for a fierce time. He meant to
destroy anything which came in his
way, and the two hounds were the
first to come in his path.
White Foot did not stop to watch
the encounter between the bull and
the two dogs. She could hear the
roaring and the barking and swapping,
and that was enough to give her
hope. Evidently she was at liberty
now to make her escape, for she had
been beneath the notice of the huge
bull. So she ran over the hill and
down through the adjoining valley.
and arrived. painting and half-dead, at
the blessed wood with its boulders and
hollow logs and stumps.
As White Foot sought out her own
home, a comfortable tree stump in
which she had taken up her abode.
she could still hear the roaring and
the barking which resounded over the
Ills and through the valleys. And
it did not cease for nearly an hour.

over. and then through another
meadow skirted with heavy timber,
to place of safety. But little White
Foot did not stop running to count
the miles. All she thought about
was the two hounds following her In
hot pursuit.
White Foot was a beautiful rabbit,
and her home was in the depths Of a
heavy wood. But the snow and the
ice. and the deep layer of dead leaves
beneath them, had cut off White
Foot's supply of food, and she had
decided to go within the territory of
the enemy in quest of something to
sustain life. So she had set out in
the night towards a farmers broad
acres where grain and fruit-tree roots
could be found without much diff

Toward morning, White Foot had
found the farm, and its rich store of
food. And she had taken a nibble at
some grain which had become scat
tered about the granary when quick
bark caused her heart to rise in her
throat and to beat with great rapidity.

pricked up her long graceful ears,
listened just q second, then dropped
her ears, lay her body close to the
ground and ran as fast as a ball
could roll down the incline toward
the meadow half a mile distant
But White Foot did not go alone.
Close behind her came a hound, bark

almost bursting. The two great forms
coming behind were maddened by the
scent of the warm little creature
whose blood they desired to spill,
and their tongues were hanging
out and the cold air froze their breath
about their noses. Their barking had
almost ceased, for the cold was In

that they did not get separated. They
tried holding hands. but the wind
tore them apart, but together they
would come again.

hard and very dark. Then they be-

Since the change in political af-

men recommend that the pagodas be
turned into modern schools. and that
they no longer be used as parts Of
religious temples. But just what dis
position will be made of them Is yet
to be seen. A writer. speaking Of
the pagodas. says:
Nothing can interfere with their
grace and beauty. Denizened by birds
and often dotted with vegetation. they
are the pride and inspiration Of the
townspeople. They stand for genera

Augusta. Ga, Oct 21.-The trial of

church, ended abruptly when Judge
Foster sustained a motion of the de-
fense squashing the Indictment against
the former peoples party candidate for
president,
Directing that the indictment be
Quashed. Judge Foster said: 1T ap-
pears by this indictment that the pub
lications alleged to have been sent
through the mails for violation of the
Law are extracts from complete ar.
ticles. My opinion is the government
is required to plead the entire article
and is not entitled TO pick out a few
paragraphs here and there and make
them the basis of an indictment"
The judge said he was not ruling
whether the articles were obscene, and
the government might at any time
proceed to reindict.

OLD PARTIES WORRIED

Not Offered at Trial.

Albany. n. Y, Oct. 21.-What would
be the outcome of Sulzer's race for the
legislature was the question foremost
in the minds of politicians around the
capitol today. 1t was generally agreed
he would make a great deal of trouble
for the organization in New York.
The worst political loes practically
conceded him victory in his own as
sembly district. They are inclined to
regard the withdrawal of the republi-
can candidate as a trick intended to
damage the democratic party a great
deal at the cost of small concession.
There is no doubt the republicans
would work hard for Sulzer in the
hope he would repay them amply by
his attacks on Tammany in case he
reached the assembly. The question
of greatest speculation, however, was
how many votes Sulzer would be able
to swing for his speakership candidacy
in case of his action
DEADLOCK Is SEEN.
The consensus of poinion was the
next assembly would probably be di-
vided among three parties and if the
prediction proves true, and Sulzer
was able to muster the undivided
support of one faction and few in
surgents in other quarters he would
prove a big factor in the race.
The majority of the assemly is re-
uuired to elect the sneaker and only

not admitted that he has deserted the
democratic party by accepting the
progressive nomination and a repubi-

declared today, fighting for principle

to what Tammany will do is not

ed this soon will appear in pamphlet
