Paying $15.000 for a pair. of black foxes 3 months old, the net profit of s52,o00 has
 been gained by the firm of Rountree 6
 Baker of Springfield. Mo. MT. Baker B
 brother-ln-law, one of the few men In America who understands raising black foxes, has amassed fortune in that busi- ness. Through his suggestion fox pen was made on the firms farm near Char lottetown, Prince Edward Island, where the climate and spruce forests are espe- cially adapted to black foxes. A few weeks after the pair had been installed there the arrival of five baby foxes caused the value of the original wild stock to rise from s15,00O to $s0OOo, according to present market quotations. Messrs. Rountree & Baker will not raise these foxes to sell their pelts, but for breed- ing purposes, and therein will gain a larger profit. Black foxes are nearly ex- tinct, and there is a great demand for their pelts. All the pelts that adorn the costly coats, both in Europe and America, come from the country near Charlotte town.

ON rHn ART OF GROWING OLD

From the Tatleri Sir Richard Steele,
 It would be good appendix to "The Art of Living and Dying" if anyone would write "The Art of Growing Old" and teach men to resign their preten- sions to the pleasures and gallantries of youth, in proportion to the alterations they find in themselves by the approach of age and infrmities. The infrmities of this stage of life would be much fewer if we did not affect those which attend the more vigorous and active part of our daysI but instead of study ing to be wiser, or being contented with our present follies. the ambition of many of us is also to be the same sort of fools we formerly have been. have often argued, as am a pro- fessed lover of women. that our sex grows old with Wuch worse grace

LOCKNER JAILED
 FOR CONTEMPT

John Lockner, well known resident of the precinct, does not entertain very eX- alted idea of the American government, especially as he imagnes it is conducted in this part of the broad, white Northland. As g result of expressing too freely and forciblv his sentiments in Commissioner Al brecht's court on Wednesday afternoon, he is now in the federal skookum house, serv ing ten days sentence for contempt.
 On last Tuesday morning MT. Lockner, after short wordy wrangle with Attorney Stanton. threatened the latter with an ax, which he took from a wagon he had in his charge. Lockner held the weapon over his shoulder in a very menaclng manner, while within easy striking distance of "Comrade' Stantons alabaster brow. He was dis armed by Billy Lewis, an employe of the local butcher shop. Deputy Marshal Charles, who saw the proceedings, quickly decided that Mir Lockner was not in a proper con dition mentally to be at large, as it had been rumored about town that same morn ing that 1t was only the excellent footwork of another attorney of this city that saved him from trouble with Lockner the night previous between this city and Flat creek.
 A complaint charging insanity was made against Mir. Lockner, and the hearing took place at 10 o'clock before the commissioner and a jury composed of Henry o. Roden, Ramps Peterson, James Farrell, Captain James Wilson, Charles E. Sims and Com modore Al Lowe. The jury returned yer dict clearing him of the charge that he was non compos mentis
 It was at 3 o'clock on Wednesday when MT. Lockner was taken before the commis- soner to plead to charge of assault with a deadly weapon that he expressed in no un- certain terms his opinion of territorial gov ernmental affairs-hence the sentence for contempt.
