The Young Fox Is a Prisoner.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Who loses freedom. to his cost,
The value learns Of what is lost,

-REDDY FOX.
The young Fox who had hidden in
the old barrel back of Farmer
Browns henhouse felt as If he must
die Of fright. Outside Bowser the
Hound was jumping about and bark
ing as If he were trying to bark his
head off. Still. the young Fox was
not without hope. Bowser had tried
to get into that barrel and couldn't
The opening was not big enough for
him. The young Fox hoped that he
would become tired Of barking and
go away.
But Bowser had no intention of
going away. He knew that If he
barked long enough and hard enough
some one would be sure to come from
Farmer Browns house to find out
what he was barking about. Some
one did come. 1t was Mrs. Brown.
She had heard Bowser barking and
she knew by the sound of his voice
that he had found some one around
peeped into the barrel. All she
could see was a pair of eyes that in
the darkness seemed to be greenish.
We'll, Bowser." said she. II don't
know who you have trapped in there.
but suspect 1t is some one who was
this barrel up on end and put a board
over the hole. That will keep him in
there until your master comes home"
So Mrs. Brown turned the barrel
up. put board over the hole on top
and on this put a heavy stone. The
young Fox was a prisoner, and no
mistake. Meanwhile Bowser sat
downtown outside to keep watch.
He had learned by long experience
that Foxes are SO sharp-witted that
they often escape when it seems as
II they had no chance to and he
didn't intend to allow this Fox to
get away.
But Bowser needn't have been SO
watchful. That young Fox was too
frightened even to try to think of
way to escape. How he did wish he
had needed his mothers advice and
kept away from Farmer Browns.
How he did wish he hadn't listened
to Sammy Jay and that he hadn't
allowed his curiosity to overcome his
common sense. How he did wonder
what would become of him.
Bowser had stopped barking. but
every now and then he walked
around that barrel and shifted. The
young Fox could hear those sniffs
and they sent little chills racing all
over him clear to the tip Of his bushy
tail. He knew by those sniffs that

THE description of the Hindu bridal
l. ceremonies. as given in this
article, is particularly attractive:
From the moment of her betrothal
the girls head is covered with veil.
On the bridal evening the bride is
brought before her young husband
and they are told that the moment is
ausplcious for their first look at each
other. 1t is the brides parents and
tnose of the bridegroom who arrange
the preifminaries Of marriage. and
the husband and wife see each other
Tor the first time only when the cere-
mony is performed. =
The old Vedic fire is used to cele-
brate the rites Of their union. This
Is a custom that has its origin in
the sacred Vedas. the books COM
piled by Manu-. whose name Is rever-
breadth of India. The girl fiings
garland of flowers about the neck
of her bridegroom. in exquisite
symbolism of the bond that Is to
hold them: and finally they take
seven steps together. hand in hand.
while the priest chants appropriate
texts for each stage of life. Such is
the wedding"
The article continues to describe in
detail the jewelry. worn by the wife
on different occasions. and the eti-
quette which forbids a husband and
wife ever talking to each other in
any one else's presence (Which. un-
doubtedly, saves the third person
from many uncomfortable moments
such as occur only too frequently
when some Of our western couples
get to telling on each other").
The Indian woman must cook all
of the food for her household and
she can ne'Dr eat until her husband
has been served. She must place the
food before him. serve 1t to him and
remain sitting there tanning the flies
and mosquitoes away until he has
completed his meal.
OF course. all such customs seem
perfectly ridiculous to us. and prob
ably the women of India will even
tually be educated like their western
sisters and do as they do.

TINE law Of obedience, which is also
i quoted In NJ. Chauvelot's book,
states:
"A little girl. young woman. a
woman of advanced years should
never, even in her own home, obey her
own wishes. a woman must never
rule herself; in her childhood she
obeys her father: in hersyouth her
husband: when her husband dies, she
obeyS her SON."
Another division OF the law govern
ing the actions of women says:
The woman must always be good
tempered and must skilfully conduct
the affairs of her home. She must
take great care of the household
utensils and of the preparation of
food and know how to watch over the
well being of her husband. while
spending as little as possible"
The law continues to state how a
woman must be faithful even to the
most unfaithful of husbands and
revere him and live only for him. She
must never for a moment allow her
own affections to waver from the
strictest allegiance to him and his in
terests.
