THE "sILvER GRAY" FOX.
Authorities Seem to Show That Name
Is Misnomer.

Since the capture a short time ago
over in the town of Jefferson, Lincoln
county, of black fox, there has been
no small amount of discussion on the
part of Augusta hunters regarding the
identity of that animal, one of the
principal questions being whether the
black fox and the silver gray fox, So
called. were one and the same or dis
tinct types of the fox family. For the
purpose of gaining information on the
subject DIR. W. G. Thomas, one of
Augustus best known fox hunters,
wrote Taylor & Co. of st. Louis, the
largest fur dealing house in Ameri-
ca. and has received the following re-
ply:
I'VE are enclosing you Trapper's
Gside and We trust the information 1t
contains will not only be interesting
but of material benefit. On page 16
you will find short history of the
fox family. There Is quite difference
between a silver and black fox. We
know of no breed called silver gray
as mentioned in your letter. The black
fox is what it's name impies-the body
being entirely black although the tail
A silver fox has very dark under fur
but the long hair is topped with gray
which gives it a silver appearance.
The black fox is scarcer and more
valuable than the silver.
The paragraph referred TO IN the
above letter says in part: This group
is divided into several species, the
most important and best known be-
ing tie red, gray, cross, swift, Whiee'
blue. silver and black. OF the above
the red and gray are most common
as one or the other is found in most
of the states. The black, silver, cross
and white fox are the most valuable,
prices ranging downward in the order
given These species are found in tho
Northern border states and Canada,
but not in great numbers
Further information regarding the
fox family is available in Nelson's
Encvclopaedia, published in 1910, which
says regarding the different Varletles'
"The common fox is eanis vulpes,
which is widely distributed over Eu-
rope, Asia and America and occurs IN
a number of color varieties. Among
these are several esteemed or great
value in the fur trade, as jet black;
silver, in which the hairs are black
with white tips, giving frosted ap-
pearance: and cross, in which a red
dish pelt is marked with blacklsh
stripes along the spine and across the
shoulders Such varieties are rare and
may occur in litter of normal
young"
The above authorities would seem
to eliminate the silver gray fox so
often quoted and establish the fact
that the animal commonly called by
that name is the silver fox

MY little daughter Louise. age 9

anything that would help her, until
we were advised to give her Vinol.
She started taking it six weeks ago
and inside of two weeks she showed
a marked improvement both In appe-
tite, vim and looks. Being so we'll
pleased with the results, / continued
giving it to her, and words fail to

The Jardin do Dance.

The seat sale for the Jardin de
Dance, which will be held at the city
hall Feb. 10, for the benefit of the Au-
gusta General hospital, has progress
ed so rapidly that already a good part
of the tables have been reserved and
the prospects are bright now that the
standing room only sign Will be
hung out early on the night of Feb. TO-
The unexpectedly heavy demand for
reserved seats has made it necessary
to reserve a number of rows IN the
balcony. The first two rows on the
east and west banks and9the first nVe
rows on the south bank have thus been
reserved and they viii be placed on
sale Feb 3 at Bither's drug store.
No small part of the demand for
seats can be ascribed TO the announce
ment that Miss Elvira Rhind OF Bos-
ton is to give a series of folk and IN
terpretative dances between the regu-
lar dances. A more definite announce
ment of Miss Rhind's program Will De
given later. For the present the an
nouncement serves chiefly to lndlcate
something interesting and exception
ally out of the Ordinary among Au-
gusta's charity entertainments.
Another feature which the Jardin de
Dance affords that will not be over
looked will be the refreshments. Very
elaborate preparations are being made
to bring this feature Of the entertain
ment up to the same high standara u
as the rest. The viands will be most
carefully prepared and much thought
is being given the matter of service
and the general attractiyeness OF the
refreshment feature.
The menu will include sandwiches,
coffee, lemonade, ginger ale, ice cream
and home made candy. Cigars ana
cigarettes will also be on sale.
The refreshments will be served by
a number of High school girls, VINO
will later be selected.
An unusual amount of interest has
been aroused in nearby cities over the
Forthcoming affair. Papers in these
cities have given considerable space
to the forthcoming affair and as 1t
is unlike anything which has ever been
attempted in Maine it win draw a very
considerable attendance from the
cities within easy reach of Augusta.
These delegations, swelling the Angus
ia contingent, is likely to set new rec
ords for attendance and for receipts
at the forthcoming affair.
Tables can still be reserved by ap-
plying to Norman Bassett, telephone
151, though by the end of the week
there is no certainty that there will
be any left The ticket sale is IN
charge of a committee composed or
John Gould, Blaine Owen and Charles
Downing.
Regular tickets, carrying with them
the privilege of reserving tables, cost
75c each. Tickets in the balcony are
soc each These entitle the holders
only to general admission in the gal
lery. They can, however be exchang-
ed for reserved seats at slight extra
expense after Feb. 8.

east at go. bound for Bangor. from
which city they intended to seek the lum-

the station but the call of the WOODS was
so urgent to them that they tried to boaro

TO the skin on their arrival in Augusta,
but the rain In no way dampened their
ardor and the one Thought that appeared

desire to reach the lumber camps.
Noonan claims TO be 16 years OF age

meeting Saturday. is considered the first
definite step in the separation of the
Boston & Maine and the New Haven
roads. 1t is not surprise, however, but
had been expected for some time and
especially since Chairman Elliott's con-
ference with the attorney general at
washington.
At Saturdays meeting Mr.. Elliott eX-
planned that, in view of the negotiations
now pending between the attorney gem
eral of the United States and the New
Haven road about the so-called dissola-
ton of the New Haven system, he de-
sired to retire as director and as chair
man of the board.
BY a rising vote the directors then
passed resolution that The resignation
of Mr.. Elliott as a director and as chair
man of the board and of the finance COM
mittee is hereby accepted with great re-
luctance."
AS to the furtherance of the dissolu-
ton, Mr. Elliott announced that Mood

special counsel employed TO perfect the
details of the plan with the attorney
general, are at work preparing tue pa
pers that will carry ou, the arrange

Saturday, Jan. "a, will probably be
recorded in some diaries as the Jan
uary thaw," although it was hardly
of sufficient duration to be called much
of a thaw. 1t was, however, the first
occasion on which anything of the ma
ture of mild weather had occurred
during the month, and in fact, since
Dec. "a. the date of the first real snow
storm of the winter. Since that date
and up to Saturday cold weather had
prevailed and without a day on which
the snow showed any signs of melting.
The temperature at O'Clock Saturday
morning was 2S above zero, so degrees
higher than it was at the same hour
Friday morning. The rainstorm which
developed soon after the noon hour
Saturday and continued until the early
hours of Sunday, gave the impression
that the January thaw was really on
hand, but that belief was dispelled by
the drop in temperature which fol-
lowed. The rain had the effect of talk
ing off quite proportion of the snow
and making some of the toughest trav-
cling Of the winter.

Get Rid of HumOrs
And Avoid Sickness
Hoods sarsaparilia, Old time Rem
edy, Purifies the Blood.

Humors in the blood cause inter-
nal arrangements that affect the whole
system, as well as pimples, boils and
other eruptions. They may be either
inherited or acquired. They affect
all the organs and functions, mem
branes and tissues, and are directly
responsible for the readiness with
which some people contract disease.
For forty years Hoods Sarsaparilla
has been more successful than any
other medicine in expelling humors
and removing their inward and out
ward effects. 1t is distinguished for
it's thoroughness in purifying the
blood, which it enriches and invigor-
ates. No other medicine acts like it.
