your chickens. 1t has been done by
another Fox, a strange Fox"
Il haven't time now" said the neigh.
bor but IL you will tell me what that
proof is guess it will be enough. Why
are you so sure that these tracks were
not made by Reddy Fox?"
IF you will study these tracks care
fully" replied Farmer Browns Boy,
you will find that each foot has the
right number of toes"
The owner of the chickens looked
puzzled. "Of course" said ne. why
shouldn't they have?"
They should have, and they do
have" replied Farmer Browns Boy.
But il Reddy Fox had made those
tracks the print OF the right fore foot
would lack one of the forward toes.
OF course, that doesn't show in dry
snow, but can show Il to you where
the snow was damp and there is clear
print of the foot; and I happen to know
that Reddy lost a toe recently. Some
body set trap up in the Old Pasture
and Reddy lost toe. Now you will
always be able to tell when Reddy Fox
is around, II you find q good print of
that right fore foot. Now, are you sat-
isf1ed that the Foxes UP on our place
hoNC AOv OCCA OtCdLhlS your CkIlGkcklSs
The owner of the chickens grinned at
the earnestness of Farmer Browns Boy.
Yes" said he. 'Ill have to admit that
1 am. There is no getting away from
this final proof Of yours. So I'll say
no more about setting traps up in the
Old Pasture. I'll just do my best to get
this strange Fox"
"All right" said Farmer Browns Boy,
that is fair enough. You see, I rather
like those Foxes up there in the Old
Pasture and as long as they do no
real harm I want no harm to come to
them. ] rather think Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy know me-"
Well" said the neishbor, "I sup
pose you can do as you please on your
own place, but If 1 had my way all
Foxes would be killed"
Farmer Browns Boy grinned good ma
turedly. TITS good thing you cannot
have your way" said he. IF you did
have it the Green Meadows would be
overrun with Meadow Mice and other
rodents. Foxes do some mischief, but
they do a tremendous amount of good.
Well, I'm much obliged to you and
am glad I have convinced you that
neither Reddy nor Mrs. Reddy have
your chickens"

The New Biography

Biographies are writing books con-
corning the departed great, concern
ing statesmen, kings and crooks, and
all who were of high estate. They
write these books in fiction form, they
chatter like house afire; and as I
read my heart grows warm with some
thing like righteous ire. / read a
book that blithely wends through
human virtues, human sins, and won
der where the fiction ends, and where
the solemn truth begins. The writer's
of this day and age are so determined
to be smart! And when in reading
engage their jazz stuff nearly breaks
my heart. Biographers in other times
Stunned methods jaZZy and absurd:
they wrote up golden deeds and crimes
as records showed such things occurred
They made portrait Just as true as
they could make, by endless care; from
dusty files their facts they drew, from
correspondence rich and rare. Perhaps
their books were sometimes dull,
chapter here and there was stale, but
then they never tried to gun their
readers with fairy tale. So when
you read the Life of Jones, you knew
what sort of man he was; you saw
described his hide and bones. and exc
the freckles on his paws You lived
with him from day to day, you saw
him in his normal life, you watched
him when he hit the hay, and also
when he beat his wife. And you could
say in ardent tones, when you had read
the volume through, II know as much
about this Jones as any person ever
knew" But now you read a dizzy
Life" that's merely fiction, undis-
guised. end mutter, as you tune your
fife, by modern ways I am surprised"

Farmer RfaWn'S RoV

Farmer Browns Boy was trying to
convince neighbor whose chickens
had been stolen by Fox that the thief
was neither Reddy Fox nor Mrs. Reddy,
who lived up in the Old Pasture. He
had shown that Mrs. Reddy could not
be the guilty one, because her foot
prints in the snow were much smaller
than those of the thief. To this the
neighbor agreed. He then tried to show

A Woman In The Senate?

Official eyes in Washington are looking with eag-
er interest in the direction of Illinois to if that
great corn State is going to send woman to the
Senate Mrs Medill Mccormick known popularity as
Ruth Hanna, has background that furnishes zest
to the campaign And she is opposing Senator
Charles Deneen, the man who defeated her husband,
that gives it personal element that always spices
political joust.
Political forecasters are wisely refraining from
making any prophesies this fight. They see on
one side the prestige Of two great Mccormick
and Hanna; of great wealth; of great newspaper
the Chicago Tribune; and Of great farm. Mrs. Nc
Cornick has long been interested in farming and she
knows how to talk the language of the corn grower
and the butter maker. And then she is woman.
On the other side these wise men see different
situation of the most curiously wrought combin
atoms in American politics. The ncneen machine is
tied w with Chicago. and the onator has back of
him record in public life that is not to be sneered at
district attorney, attorney general, Governor and
United States Senator
A woman Senator would be most interesting
novelty in Washington but the Senate is novelty to
Mrs Mccormick. During her young ladyhood she saw
the inside and the outside Of the body through her
father, Mark Hanna's, eyes, And when her husband
came to Washington to fill similar position, she
no novice It is said that she is the finest organizer
in Illinois politics. It will probably be easy job to
defeat her.

passed. A doubled, all passed and A
opened the king of diamonds. How
should plan the play of the hands3
Solution: II believe the hand can
make four and game by the declarer
trumping the first diamond lead and
then leading a small club. If second
hand passes, play the nine of clubs in
the dummy, the trick being taken by
the king in the fourth hand. It makes
no difference if second hand takes with
the ace). Presume the fourth hand
then leads diamond which is trumped
by declarer, who makes another small
club lead which is taken by the ace IN
the second hand. Then third diamond
lead which is trumped again. Declarer
then leads a trump which trick is won
in the dummy by the ten spot. Dummy
then leads the jack of hearts and then
the ten of hearts which is trumped by
the second hand. Presume this hand to
then lead the fourth diamond which is
trumped by declarer who then. leads
the king of spades. overtakes in the
dummy, exhausts trumps, and plays
hearts and finally the good queen OF
clubs. Defense has three tricks, two
clubs and c. trumped heart. How
about it?" ~
One of tn. interesting phases of
Auction that appeals to most players
is a comparison Of ones own game with
that of players of other sections or
countries. A tournament has just been
conducted in England in which the
following hands were submitted for
competition. Figure out the correct
bid in each instance and compare your
results with the analyses and the
awards of the Judges in the English
competition that will be given in the

most interesting.

New Senator Of Log Cabin Origin

The days Of Abraham Lincoln are not yet over!
Who would have thought that in the year 1929 there
would come to Washington Senator who was born
in log cabin? Yet that is exactly where the junior
Senator from Tennessee was born.
Now Senator Brock is millionaire He is not
the richest man in the Senate but he among that
select circle of very rich who used to be pointed
out to visitors to the Senate gallery but, aas no
longer attracts any notice.
Who, for instance, cares if Senator Couzens of
Michigan is the wealthiest man in the Senate and
that the humble Ford was the source of his great
wealth? Nobody. What counts in that body is brans
personality, energy determination, education, scho-
arship, and influence.
Like Senator Tyson, whom he succeeded Senator
Brock is native of North Carolina and the son Of
Confederate soldier At % he began to make his way
ality and tremendous energy he pushed into promn-
ence. He is modestly very religious, Methodist.

UNWISE NAPOLEON.

have not been able to find an ac.
count Of a man who was entirely
intelligent, or of one who was en-
tirely honest. The best example Of
an honest and intelligent man was
possibly Asoka, a barbarian. 1t Is
said of him that though he con-
quered in battle as easily as did
Napoleon, he grew to have horror
of war, and would have no more Of
it. Asoka had victory to his credit
in full measure. No one could say
he was coward, or that he was not
the best of commanders. He was
rich, and regal in splendor of pail
aces, robes, jewels, and obedience
from his subjects.
SO the man chose to thereafter
court fame by becoming just and
intelligent ruler. and this course
met with so much success that he
is at this distant day, best known
and respected of the notables of his
time.
Any page devoted to summary
OF a thousand years OF history
gives brief mention of rulers much
alike; so many victories, so many
defeats, and through it all about the
same thievery and oppression. But
instead of the usual line given an
ancient ruler in the necessary briei
summary of history, Asoka gets a
star in front of his name, and a
footnote recording distinction nc
other king, president or chief has.
The history of Asoka is shad.
owy, and | somewhat distrust it
but it at least persists, and is sug'
gcstion modern ruler might have
made reality
Why should rot a ruler acquire
fame with horcstv rather than with
he roguery that has distinguished
lis class almost without variance?
Napoleon was rarely intelligent
nan. In the Russian campaign,
which wrecked him. he took
nance that was surely unnecessary.
Ie appreciated he could not sue
.essfully invade England because of
he channel separating Calais and
Dover, but overlooked more seri-
,us handicap-Winter-in invading
Russia.
Why was it impossible for Napo-
eon to be as wise as the barbarian
Asoka, who, after becoming satiated
with victory and power, chose to
ry for still greater glory, as just
md intelligent ruler? St. Helena is
good story, but an unnecessary
tragedy: / regret Napoleon's history
Is not an inspiration to all men that
honesty is the best policy. Had
Napoleon adopted Asoka's plan as
late as Austerlitz. he would have
not only his present fame, but
great deal more. and of a better
eind.
