Dog Kills $1,000 Fox
Caught Stealing Hens

Vancouver, Wash.--A commotion In
his chicken yard at night caused r. Fl.
Miller of Fruit Valley to investigate
and he arrived In time to see blue
fox leaving the yard with a chicken
In its mouth. His dog, mixed Aire-
dale and Alaska wolfhound, dashed
after the fox and killed 1t before Mr..
Miller could interfere.
DR.. r. J. Mercer claimed the pelt,
as the fox was one of three that
escaped from the Mercer fox farm
some time ago. The mate to the one
killed was captured the following night
at Hazeldell by some boys and the
third animal is believed to be in the
neighborhood Of the farm. as several
chickens and ducks have disappeared
recently. The fox killed was valued
at $1,000.

attend your st. Patrick's day gather
ing:
"It's long, long way to Tipperary,"
We know that very well,
But Wen all get there In spirit,
No matter where we dwell;
So come, all of you, on Monday
TO the Tipperary meet"
To remember dear old Ireland
And her shamrock so sweet.
Now for the games to play at the
meet" Some. of the quaint old
games should be chosen, only altered
bit to suit "the day we celebrate"
"Going to TIpperary" can be made a
very jolly journey by providing one
chair or seat of some kind less than
the number of players Then start
your ring of players marching around
the room to the tune of '"Tipperary,"
played on the piano, and then have
someone call out In loud voice, 'Tip-
perary" Then there must be scram-
BILE for seats. One player will beeleft
out, of course, and he cannot play
again, but will sit down on one of the
seats, and so there will be another
seat Short; keep on playing this
way till only two players will be left,
and the one Of these two girls or boys
winning the coveted empty place will
win the game.
"Hunt the Shamrock" will be an
other pretty game, and to play 1t the
hostess will provide some little article
like a stickpin in the shape of sham
rock. This must be a small article,
necessarily, as 1t will have to be hid
den somewhere in the room. The one
finding it will be the prize winner
If you have a really humorous
guest at the Tipperary party, one who
has the ''gift Of gab," let him or her
take each guest In turn and sire out"
at the unfortunate victim a lot of
questions, to each Of which the victim
must answer without smiling, "Tip-
perary." Sometimes the questions will
be SO comical and the answer, Upper
ary," 80 very far from the mark that
1t viii be almost impossible not to
laugh. The one who succeeds In an
swering all the questions without
laughing will be the winner Of the
game
Some dancing should be done, and
the tune should be '"Tipperary," Ii pos
sible, or some old Irish air like "Rory
O'More," wearing of the Green" or
other fine old Irish tunes. Another
game which would make lots of fun
would be to send one of the players
put of the room. and then choose some
Irish character of fiction or real life,
and when the player comes in again,
he or she must guess who 1t is from
the answers to the questions put to
the company.
For the decorations of your room
you can have shamrock leaves cut out
Of crepe paper, wired, and tied In a
bouquet with green ribbon, or real
green leaves from the greenhouse,
ferns or manufactured shamrock
leaves from the stores. II you have
some refreshments, use green and
white paper napkins, sandwiches with
lettuce filing, green candies, green
fee cream and cakes with green icing.
ANY green china you may have win
be splendid to serve your refresh
ments upon.
