 Harveld Askerson isi in the city, with a view of going into the business of raising blue foxes on some of the Alas ka coast islands, says a Seattle paper. Harveld should be very careful of bis ground; strange tales have come out of the North about che difficulties to be encountered in pushing the blue fox industry to a successful conclusion. The difficulties are many. A hardy blue fox propagator recently from the North with more rheumatism than fox skins. dt is an invitation to rheu- matic twanqs to chase around doing the chores on a fox farm. And there is much chasing to do. It seems that band of healthy blue foxes lay out race track around tue edge of the isl- and as soon as they are landed, and the fox propagator is thereafter obliged to chase them several times around the island to transact these chores. And at that they are quite apt to burrow into the ground when he is looking for chem most earnestly. Phereis another difficulty The eagles select the fate test and most likely pups, carry them off to their eyries and feed them'to the eaqlets. Still, Haweld should not be wholly discouraged. There are cer- tain islands along the 'coast where the foxes are SO thick that they come out on the promontoriee and bark at the shjpsa as they pass ,bV.

"Ha, ma, ha! Ho, no. no! Mr..
.smarty caught at last" Sammy Jay
fairly shrieked with glee as he peered
down from the top of an apple tree at
Chatterer the Red Squirrel in the cage
Farmer Browns boy had made for
him. Sammy was SD relieved to think
that Chatterer was not dead. and he
was so licked to think that Chatterer,
who always thought himself so smart,
should be Caught, h a he just had to
torment Chatterer by laughing at him
and saying mean things to him until
Chatte.er lost his temper and said
things back quite in the old way. 'rnis
tickled Sammy more than ever, for it
sounded SO exactly like Chatterer
when he had been Il free little imp OF
mischief in the Green Forest that
Sammy felt sure that Chatterer had
nothing the matter with him.
But he couldn't stop very long to
make fun of poor Chatterer. In the
first. place, Farmer Browns boy had
put his head out of the barn door to
sec what all the fuss was about. In
the second place, Sammy fairly acned
all over to spread the news through
the Green Forest and over the Green
Meadows. You know he is a great
gossip And this was such unusual
news! Sammy knew very well that no
one would believe him. He knew that
they Just couldn't believe that smart
Mr.. Chatterer had really been caught.
And no one did believe 1t.
"All risht," Sammy would reply.
ut doesn't make the least bit of diff
ference i'll the world to me whether
you believe it or not. You a so up
to Farmer Browns house n see him
in prison yourself, just as I did"
So lats that afternoon when all was
quiet around the farmyard Chatterer
saw something very familiar looking
behind the old stone wall. on the edge
of the Old Orchard. 1t bobbed up and
then dropped out Of sight. Then it
bobbed up again. only to drop out of
sight just as quickly.
