caught the cat, the, animal gave start

Scott SWEET and son, Archie, Of
Pennington, went out the other day
after foxes and if their hopes are
realized they certainly had good
days hunting. Their dog struck a
fresh trail on Spruce mountain. Fol-
lowing it they soon located the hole
and, procuring tools, dug until they
uncovered a female fox and four
young ones. They muzzled the old
one and put the whole lot in box,
taking them to Pennington, where
many think the young are black foxes.
A well-known fur dealer told them
that If the young ones fur retained
it's dark color for a week they were
surely black foxes. The mother is a
common red fox, but a black fox has
several times been seen around
Spruce Mountain, though it has so far
eluded the hunters,

THE FAMOUS IRON CROSS.

Shortly after the opening of hostili-
ties the German Kaiser, followed the
precedent established by William l.,
reinstituted the famous Order of the
Iron Cross. The New Yorker Stats
Zeitung furnishes an interesting his
tory of this coveted mark of distnc-
ton which is rewarded solely for per-
formance of deeds of the highest val r
on the field of battle.
King Frederick William Ill of Prl-
ssia founded the order on March 10,
1913, as reward for services rend-
cred to the Fatherland i'm the Napo-
leonic wars. The plainness of the
insignia was intended to remind its
wearers of the hard times that had
brought it into being. 1t was a
small iron maltese cross imlaid with
a narrow silver band Just inside the
beyeled edge. The only other
marks upon it were three oak leaves
in the center the royal initials f. w.
surmoumted by a small crown, and
the date 1913. AS is customary I'm
the case of royal orders, there two
classes and grand cross, the latter
twice the regular size. In 1S41 a
permanent endowment was added
paying fixed annual sums to the
wearers of the decoration.
On July 10, 1870, the day that
France again declared war ON Prussia
the order was revived by King Will
lam I ON the same conditions as orr
ginally instituted. At that time the
three oak leaves were dropped, and
the letter WO the crown, and the
date 1870 were substituted for the
original marks, but the three leaves
We're restored by am order Of the Inn
perial Council ih1895. The decora.
ton as revised in 1870 has been be-
slowed ON 4S,574 Germans warriors
OF all classes, including those com
ing from German states outside of
Prussia.
The Grand Cross is conferred only
on commanding officers who have
won decisive battle followed by the
forced retirement of an enemy, for
the capture of important fort, or for
successfully defending fort against
the enemy's capture. In addition to
the soldiers who have won the cross
for individual acts of distinction, it
has been granted to all the members
OF regiments that have performed
especially meritorious service There
is no decoration for a German mill
tary man that carries with it greater
than the Iron Cross, and lit is
significant that the thousands of vet
Grams who possess this priceless
decoration have always been looked
upon with the most profound respect
by the entire German public.-New
York Times.
