Orisntots Haue Odd
 Belief About Foxes

Foxes have a terrifying effect on the imaginations of superstitious Orientals. A fox will enter a humans body between the fingernails and the skin, they say-and, having made himself at home, will control the persons thought. actions and even his voice. leading him into deviltries for which he feels he cannot be held responsible. To thus be controlled by a fox-or rather by the spirit of fox-is to sui fer from what is recognized as demo niacal possession.
 We are told, says the Detroit News, that 'the person possessed hears and understands everything that the fox inside him says or thinks; and that the two often engage in violent dis pute, the fox speaking in a voice alto gether different from that which Is natural to the individual" Scientif- cally, we have 1t explained that whereas in healthy persons one-half of the brain alone is actively engaged In right-handed persons the left half of the brain and in left-handed per sons the right-in nervously e1citable persons or in persons of weak mind the dlsused half of the brain is often aroused into activity by fear. and that the two halves, now functioning-one the normal self and the other the new pathologically affected self-are set one against the other, the result being that the activities of the new brain are ascribed to the fox"

Odd Experience

This experience occurred many years ago, but 1t was so odd that have never forgotten 1t. I was visiting friends in the country who had a Shetland pony that I loved to ride. wore my hair in two braids, which were crossed and tied up in the back, making little loop, as was the fashion of the time. One day while riding the pony through the orchard. he became frightened and started running toward the barn. Un- der a low-growing apple tree he ran pell-mell. leaving me hanging by my brsids on the apple bough. My feet just missed the ground, and there I hung like Absalom until the other chil- dren came and released me.-Chicago Journal.

But, Surely # Wasn'f

The kindergarten had been study ing the wind all week-its power, effects. etc-until the subject had been pretty well exhausted.
 To stimulate interest. the teacher said, in her most enthusiastic manner: Children, we were going to Baton Rouge to witness the game yesterday. As the train approached one of the stations something came softly and kissed me on the cheek. What do you think 1t wasf'
 A pretty girl in the rear shouted: : q know! It was the conductor, be- cause when he took my ticket, he told me I was very pretty girl and kissed me, too."-Rahoboth Sunday Herald.

Legion Smoker
 Drew Large Crowd

The Legion smoker on the even- ing of July drew full house, and the spectators had their moneys worth.
 As a curtain raiser a bout was staged between William Russell and Lloyd Simpson. The combat ants were unevenly matched, Rus sell being probably 50 pounds heavier than his antagonist. There was so much clinching in each round that the affair was more of a burlesque than a bona fide boxing bout. Nevertheless a number of the spectators were heard to say that this event alone was worth the price of admission. Russell was given the decision.
 The second event was a four round bout between G. Johnson of Seattle and Kid Daklan of Manila. This was one of the best bouts ever pulled off in Wrangell. Both com batants were aggressive although most of the eading seemed to be done by Johnson who had Daklan outclassed by small margin. But the Filipino did good fighting from start to finish, and if the program had called for a longer fight he would probably haev lasted several rounds longer. Johnson was given teh decision.
 The main event was a six-round bout between Kid Stokes of Wran- gell and Frank Gatdula of Manila. This bout started off like whirl- wind but came to an abrupt ending at the close of the first round when Stokes went down striking the back of his head on the floor. Stokes failed to get up when g had been counted and the decision was given to the Filipino.
 There was much diversity of opinion among the spectators re. garding the exact manner in which the main bout terminated, although all were eye witnesses. Some declar- ed that Stokes was not struck at all at the time he fell, and that his fall was due to having gotten tripped by tangling his foot in the edge of the canvas. Others contended that the Filipino had made a clean knock out But all were agreed that Stokes head bumped the floor with so much force that no one ex- pected him to continue the fight.
 Harry Ferguson was the referee for all there bouts.

Rirthmaxka

A birthmark is merely the result Of excessive development of hbrous tis- sue hair, blood vessels, or pigment in a circumscribed area. Surgical treat ment is generally prescribed for the removal of birthmarks. Among the methods employed are electrolysis, X- rays and the use of chemical caustics, such as nitric acid or the acid nitrate of mercury. The removal of a birth mark Is a delicate operation and should only be performed by e com petent physician.

At the annual meeting of the di-
rectors of Dover Baseball Association
held last week, the following officers
were reelected for 1925: President,
w. Charles Boyer; vice-president,
William H. Baker; secretary and
treasurer, Wallace WoOdford; league
director, William M. Hope. The re-
ports of the officers showed the asso-
citation to be in a healthy financial
condition. The directors are looking
forward to another successful year in
1925. While the announcement has
not formally been made as to the club
manager, it is generally conceded that
"Jiggs" DOnahue, who has managed
the club for the past two seasons will
again be called upon to act in that
capacity.
