NOT A Feminine ATTRIBUTE
Idea That Skirts Especially Pertain to
the Weaker Sex Is Complete
Iy Misleading.

If there is one thing presumably GER
tain on this earth, in the opinion OF
most of us, 1t Is that skirts are essen
TALLY feminine, and that the special
feature of masculine attire is bifur-
Gated garment. But nothing Is further
from the truth. To this day the ma
jority of the male element of the hui
man race, so far as it wears clothes
at all, is skirted. And in past times,
not so very long ago, gown down
to the feet was the correct wear Of re-
spectability in civilized Europe. An
anecdote told of st. Louis, king OF
France, illustrates this well. That
monarch was the stoutest Of warriors,
a man whom 10 one knowing anything
about would dream of accusing of be-
ing effeminate, but on one occasion he
seriously offered to exchange costumes
with a richly dressed female relative
who had blamed him for wearing the
unpretentious garments he usually af-
fected, which she said were unsuited
to a king. But she thought his gown
was too plain for her, so declined the
offer. Now, it is impossible to imag
Inc a man like Louis even suggesting
such a thing if the dress Of men anc
women had not been practically iden
teal, except for war and hunting. In
deed a glance at old pictures confirms
| this impression.

TOOK FOXES IN NEAT TRAP
Probably Only Instance on Record
Where Youngsters Were Caught
In a Horse Blanket

How four foxes were caught in
horse blanket is a quaint tale told by
R. A. Hutmacher in the Hunter Trader
Trapper of Columbus, o.
81 happened to be driving south of
Rapatee, H., with the implement deal
er of that town, making business calls
on several farmers of that section,
when, to my surprise, saw on very
steep hill in the distance several young
foxes playing about as if no human
was near" says Mr.. Hutmacher. my
partner and decided to try our luck
at catching them, so driving on little
farther. we tied our horses and set
out across the field after them.
"When we reached the hole. they
were all up over. the hill chasing each
other, so telling my companion to go
around the hill and chase them my
way 1 threw a horse blanket over their
hole and waited. AS they came rush.
| ing for the hole I raised one end of
| the blanket just enough to hide myself
and at the same time form trap of ii
for them to run into.
'HThey all got to the hole about the
same time, when I threw one end OF
the blanket over them, the other end
being over the hole. In the excite
| ment I succeeded in catching all foul
in the folds Of the blanket.
"We went back to the buggy ant
drove to town, my companion taking
two of the foxes and two. Possibl.
the explanation Of our good luck is thu
fact that the foxes were not mucl
more than six weeks old when cap
tured."

FIRE PROTECTION ON
FARM OF IMPORTANCE
BIazes Are Started in Several
Different Ways.
Grave Menace Lies In improper Han
ding and Storage of Gasoline
Pail of Water Is Oldest and
Cheapest Extinguisher.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrfculture)
These are the days when the fire
hazard is considerably increased over
what it was in the summer months.
With the coming Of cool weather, quick
fires are started in the stoves or fur
mace and often a flue is discovered
that needs repair. Accommodations of
inflammable rubbish in which bad
blaze may be started should be got rid
of. Matches are used in increased
numbers in winter, and that means ad-
ditional chances of accidental fires.
Kerosene is employed in greater guam
titles, being used for starting fires and
for the lamps, and, therefore, this haz-
ard is increased. An even graver men
ace lies in the improper handling OF
gasoline. 1t is highly important that
every precaution be taken to store the
gasoline supply in properly located and
constructed reservoirs.
This is the season also for the farm
er to look to his fre-fghting equip
ment. A pail of water is the Oldest,
simplest and cheapest Of fire extin-
guishers. There is no reason why pals
of water, to be used only in case OF
fire, should not be installed in every
farm building. If possible they should
be painted special color, preferably
red, or labeled so as to be conspicuous
and less subject to unauthorized use.

Regulating immigration.

Until 1882 congress did not make
any law restricting foreign immigra-
ton. On the other hand, everything
was done to encourage immigration
without regard to its character or quail
ity. In 1882 a law was made exclud-
ing escaped convicts, idiots and per-
sons likely to become public charge.
Since then laws have been passed ex-

Undoubtedly this was the sensible
view. We would be in far less danger
remaining there under cover than in
any attempt to continue our journey
by daylight. Together we carried the
body out, and deposited it in thicket
behind the cabin, awaiting burial; and
then dragged the dead dog also out of
sight. The disorder within was easily
remedied, and, after this had been at
tended to, the girls were permitted to
enter. Eloise sank back on the bench,
her head supported against the wall,
the lashes of her half-closed eyes
showing dark against the whiteness
of her cheeks. She looked so pitifully
tired. the very heart choked in my
throat.
The rest of us found small stock
of provisions, and Elsie, with Tim to
aid her, built a fire and prepared
breakfast. A half-flled bottle of
whisky discovered in the cupboard,
helped to revive all of us slightly, and
gave Asa sufficient courage to seek
outside for a spring. Tim, compara-
lively unwearied himself, and restless,
located trapdoor in the floor, rather
ingeniously concealed, which disclosed
the existence of a small cellar below.
Candle in hand he explored this, re-
turning with two guns, together with
quantity of powder and ball, and in
formation that there remained a half
keg Of the explosive hidden below.
'Must a bin aimin' ter blow up

hibiting a sample. "Coarsest / ever

To remove the debris out of our way,

slit blankets, and piled them all to-
gether back on the bed. Clinging to

There were but few preparations to
be made, and l gave small attention
to Kirby until these had been hastily
completed. The door and window were
barred, the powder and slugs brought
up from below, the rifles loaded and
primed, the few loopholes between the

within easy reach. This was all that
could be done.
