In which the romance of its early his

a city that can boast of ancient edl-

which Is known the country over. Rar-

Of negro blood. due to intermarriage
with slaves, was as popular In Bible
times as now"
The speaker corrected many popular
misconceptions about the historic
lands. "You apply the term Hamitic

RAISING FOXES IN ALASKA
Animals Are Bred There for Their
Fur, and ttts Industry 10 q Re-
nunerative One.

There are ten or twelve fox farms
In Alaska. One Of them, situated in
the Tanana valley, mile and q half
from Fairbanks, consists of ten acres
of cleared lnnd. the greater part Of
which Is covered with pens In which
the animals live. From distance the
fox farm looks like huge chicken
yard, with wallis of woven wire and
hencoops Of various sizes inside. Each
pen is 50 feet long, 8 feet wide and
about 10 feet high. The wire Is tough
steel and Is sunk about four feet In
the ground and Is then bent 80 that II
runs inward underground for about
two feet to prevent the foxes from dig
ging out. At the top the wire has an
overhang Of two feet to prevent the
captives from climbing over. Each
pen has n kennel made of boards, like
dog kennel. the entrance to which is
chute or wooden pipe foot
square. Only one pair Of foxes live In
each pen. They are very tim,d and
have to be handled carefully Most of
the fox farmers will not allow strang-
ers to enter their property for fear
they VIII frighten the animals. The
foxes are fed with salmon, moose
meat. horse meat, rabbits. carrots and
tnrnlps. A common feed is rice and
yabbits cooked together In a stew.

MOVE FAMOUS CHESS GAME
Club Where Leading French Players

In New Quarters.

The Cafe de la Regence no longer
shelters the chess players whose TEN.
pie 1t has been since 1864. The play
ers now make their headquarters at
the Cafe de universe, facing the The.
ater Franchise, says New York Herald.
The Cafe de Ia Regence has been
in its present site in Rue Saint Hon
ore since the early years Of the second
empire. Before that 1t was at the
angle of the Palals Royal square,
where the Hotel du Louvre now is, and
In that locality 1t operated from 1851
until 1t was appropriated in 1854.
In the eighteenth century the Cafe
de Ia Regence was frequented by the
encyclopedias; Diderot, Grimm, Mar.
montel, even Voltaire and later Robes.
pierre were habitues of the place. 1t
is said that Napoleon gave chess
party in the old cafe. The cafe
charged by the hours for the use OF
its chessboards and an extra che rye
was made ut the night games to pay
for the two candles which each pail
of players used. In Bourdonnais, fa
nous chessmaster Of the Restoration
played there and after him Alfred de
Musset, Saint-Amand, ROsenthal, d.
Bornler and other celebrities Of lltera

CHARITY WELL WORTH WHILE
How Tennessee Community Built
House and Presented II to Poor
but Deserving Widow.

You are all familiar with the story
Of "the house that Jack built" But l
wish to tell you of aihouse that neigh
bors built in small town In the South.
says writer in Christian Herald.
1t was obvious to. this community
that If certain family only had a
home, they could be self.supportlng |:
while, as 1t was, every cent they earned
went for rent.
Two kind. practical men took the
matter up and evolved plan whereby
such a home could be made by small
contributions, no burden being placed
on any one. Personal calls were be-
gun. and help solicited consisting of
money, material or labor. So hearty
was the response that within month
a lot was purchased, then three.rOom
house with two porches was erected,
outhouses for COW. and chickens were
built garden fenced. and a we'll
bored, with windlass set up. Good ma.
terial was used--concrete foundation,
and brick flue and chimney. The lot
had been set In fruit trees when
bought, so there was a ready.made or
chard. And when the painter was
through with the buildings an insur-
once agent gave three-year policy in
case Of fire. Every bit Of the labor
was voluntary work.
The most eager helpers, however,
were the men who went In wagons to
move the family home. The matter
had been kept secret from them. and
you can Imagine their surprise and JOY.
They were little blnck-eyed widow
and three children, whom misfortune
had pursued relentlessly for many sad
months. In their new home they were
very happy, and this made 1t all Inn
mensely worth while.
Now this didn't happen Just before
Thanksgiving or Christmas, but during
the blazing hot days Of midsummer,
when "sunny" Tennessee was a burn

Vast Sum Eluded Morgan.

In the. mountains behind Cuban
city. we are told, is still buried great
amount Of treasure, hidden there 35C
years ago. whom news came of an I'M
pending attack by Sir Henry Morgan
the pirate hOnored by an English king
for his Onslaughts unon the Spaniards
Most OF the defenders were killed, md
the spoils We're never found. Morgan
was outwitted again at Panama, and at
the bottom Of the harbor there lies
today. some have estimated. $4,000.
600 worth Of gold and silver.
When he attacked Panama the treas

Council Will Put Up Plan OF
Taxation To Voters In
Short Time
WILL NOT INCREASE
PRESENT TAXATION
Scheme Will Merely Divert
Present Tax Receipts To
City Instead OF The
County

After paying levy of half a mill
for five years into the county treas
ury to pay for the jail and the Chill
dren's Home, the people OF Mt. Yer
non will probably be asked to vote on
whether they will pay the same
the city out of the hole into which 1t
has gradually lapsed during the past
eight years according to plans made
at Monday nights meeting OF the city
council.
1t is a generally known fact that
the city is heavily indebted, the
cause of which was mismanagement
Of funds a number of years ago From
year to year this Indebtedness has
been carried and the interest paid on
bond issues through the floating of
more bond issues.
A levy of half mill on all the tax.
payers Of the city would amount to
$4,000 at the end of five years or
$4,000 per year. This includes the
taxes on the city alone for, although
the city had to help the county pay
for its institutions, the city cannot
force the county to pay for munici.
pal institutions.
Councilman Hookway introduced
the plan for helping TO pay off the
city's indebtedness. The plan was
readily taken up by other members
solicitor was instructed to prepare an
ordinance for the council to vote on
to present for the approval OF Mt
Vernon voters the half min levy.
"The half mill levy which the coun.
ty has placed on Knox county and Mt.
Vernon taxpayers" declared Council
man HOokway. has not been felt at
all hardly by the taxpayers them.
selves for the last five years and "A
continuation of the levy would not be
noticed either. 1t Is the best plan, as
] see It, to help the city off the rocks.
What we can do IS just divert the
half mill levy which has been placed
on Mt. Vernon taxpayers to the city
treasury instead of giving II to the
county"
The resolution viii be submitted to
the members of council on next Mon.
