Locksah. They were successful in their
hunt and brought out four big elk
Snow fell almost every day while they
were in camp, but the weather was fine
considering the time of year and the
altitude.
All the meat was Q ierked" and then
dipped in hot brine, after which it was
hung in a teepee and smoked in Indian
style. The party had thirteen head of
horses and it was all they could do to
carry the meat out, as each animal
killed averaged between 400 and 500
pounds when dressed.
The party followed the old Lolo trail
from near Kamiah to the Weippe see
ton, up the Musselshell creek, over
Bald mountain and then down to the
Locksah, about ninety miles east of
Kamiah. The trail is very plain, but
fallen timber was encountered in MANY
places. No game was sighted until
they got out of the country where the
sheep had ranged, but they said that il
would have been possible to have killed
an ak for every man in town, had
they been so disposed, after arriving in
the game country.

Fox Worried by Food Problem.

It is not often that the sly fox re- veals to man his method of securing his daily rations; so that men of Can ton Centre, Conn.,, who were hauling logs were quite surprised recently to see a large red fox on the hillside only about ten rods from the team. He was not the least bit disturbed. Suddenly he leaped into the air and bounced onto the snow. This operation was re- peated several times, the fox jump ing several feet into the air each time
 He was doubtless trying to break through the crust and catch the mice which he heard borrowing under the snow. The hard, deep snow makes it much harder for the foxes to catch the little animals except when they are running for cOver.-Hartford Courant.

Everything is quite O. K., thanks to you, ma'am. And now if you will let me have a look at that necklace. I've sent for the appraiser. He'll be along in a minute"
 The box was already unlocked Mrs. Merrilees promptly removed the leath- er-bound jewel case and handed it to the inspector.
 Touching the spring, he let the lid fly up, exposing the pearl collar. As if dazzled, he blinked fur1ously. She's a daisy!" he announced with unction. Finest piece of the sort that's come through this year, or I'm no judge" Momentarily his interest shifted to the bill of the Partisan jeweler.
 "Three hundred thousand francs sixty thousand dollars" he unused aloud. "You got it cheap, ma'am, if I'm any judge"
 Nonsense !'' Mrs. Merrilees retort- ed indignantly. 'tAs if an American ever got anything cheap in Paris and from Cottier's, of all placesI By every right you ought to assess the duty on not more than forty thousand dollars"
 "Wel," the inspector suggested in- diligently, well just see what the ap- praiser says. There he is now. Hey, Charlie, step over here a minute, will you?"
 In response to this hail, a slender, bespectacled young man in O section nodded assent, picked his way through the barrier of trunks, and, recognizing Mrs. Merrilees, touched the vizor of a cap bearing the word Appraiser"

Then he pursed his lips in noiseless whistle, looked bewilder- ment at Mrs. Merrilees, and stepped aside with the jewel case to a spot where sunlight, through a wide open. ing, threw a brilliant splash of gold athwart the tempered gloom of the pier-shed. Here he subjected the necklace to minute inspection with magnifying glass. Finally, wearing an illegible expression, he turned back.
 "It's corking good thing" he an. nounced in an odd tone. 'We don't get many like it; but the workman ship on this is immenseI Call it three hundred at the outside"
 ''What! !'' Mrs. Merrilees blazed in. dignantly. 'Three hundred thousand dollars! Ridiculous! Look at the bill-"
 ''No, ma'am," the appraiser inter. rupted with mournful decision, mot three hundred thousand, but just three hundred dollars; duty a hun dred and eighty (sixty per cent ad val.), and if you like I'll get someone else to size it up and see if maybe we can't shade that a bit.'
