TRADE BABES
OF TABBY
AND FOX

TREAT FALLS, Mont.-Three
" tiny silver-black foxes opened
their eyes at the Great Falls
fox farm, on the outskirts of this
city, recently, and found that for
nine days they had been receiving
nourishment not from their own
mothers but from two cats, both
Of which had kittens the day the
foxes were born. And, what's
more, George Woolf, superin-
tendent of the fox farm, has
fooled the mother cats for nine
days, and they are still in the
land of the innocent.
At their birth the full filters of
kittens were hastily removed and
the three fox pups substituted.
The cat mothers never noticed the
difference and have been tenderly
nursing the foxes, licking their
glossy black backs, for days.
The two mother cats rest in the
warm sunshine in a barrel, with
the fox pups, and contentedly
meow. To the onlooker there is
little difference between the
motherless kittens and the pups
a single touch of silver gray on
the tails Of the baby foxes alone
distinguishing them from the
kittens.
According to Superintendent
Woolf-what's in a name at a fox
farm, anyway-cats make good
mothers. He said that often when
kittens are taken away from cats
they run into the open, adopting
the offspring Of rabbits and
gophers to fill the mother instinct.
The Great Falls farm now
boasts. eleven full-grown and
thirty baby foxes, and the stork
Is on the way with additional off
spring. Food of the animals con-
sists Of prepared biscuits, eggs,
horse meat, and young gophers
and rabbits.

w asked Banner, the
artist, with a weary infection that
Doggett, the Sunday editor, had
grown to know.
Banner, blonde and spiritual,
with a head like a Shelley. hated
to do freak pictures. Doggett
loved them. He thought hard for
q moment. He had never seen
a baby with three eyes. He could
not remember ever having seen
q picture of one, but a telegram
from Sheboygan, Wis, now on his
desk announced that one had been
born.
1t had taken Doggett just half
a minute after the arrival of the
dispatch to decide on making it
a page feature-mostly picture.
"The question is" Baumer ven
tured, "how is the third eye to
look? Like the others?''
by no means. Have the others
just ordinary baby's eyes. Have
the third eye gIare?'
Doggett whistled suddenly.
Have you ever seen that picture
with a muzzle of a revolver point
ing at you? That's the idea,
Make it the kind of an eye that
follows You around the room!
Make 1t like that, so they'll pin It
on the wall. That's the stuffp'
Then he wheeled about IN. his
chair and wired to the sheboygan
man:
Rush facts of third-eye story

Early next day Banner brought
in his sketch, the face family
etched, the third eye alone elab-
crate. glowing out strong. Bau.
mer had indicated a brow and
lashes.

Doggett. They cheaper itr,

Banner flushed.

but send for the baby, that's a
good chap! Make it the picture

Presently he learned that the
baby had been sent for, and was
on the way down with its nurse
Later, he heard a connmotion
in the HAN. A few minutes later
he tiptoed down to the art de-
partment and peeped in. A col.
ored girl was holding the baby-a
Tat, rosy young vagabond, pink
legged, with blue kid shoes. It
had lace cap and blue ribbon
bows at the ears. There were
fluffy effects in the way Of
skirts. 1t did not seem like any
