Is thrust the rat like bead, to peer intently into the 1 depths of the black pool beneath, j Through one of these openings the : long slender, brown body slips, to turn : and twist with lightning-like rapidity j in the icy current Emerging from i the chilling water, its wet coat glisten- | icg. its eyes Cashing triumphantly, j the agile little animal has its jaws j fastened across the body of a luckless ; trout. Beneath the shelter of a fallen j pine, the prize Is placed and closely t guarded by the suspicious mink. Aft er many little patrols about the near ' vicinity, made for the purpose of dis- 1 covering any hidden foe. if such there be. the crafty hunter has partaken of his well-earned meal. Some telltale evidences left behind on the trampled snow proclaim all this, and then the tracks lead on down the stream. At some distance from the brook bed. farther back in the forest, winds the clear-cut. well-defined tracks of the red fox. The footprints are distinguish able from those of the lynx even at I first glance The imprints themselves ! are narrower, and placed more nearly ! in a straight line: while the stride, j from the track to track. Is half again * is long as in the wider lynx trail. The i drag of the bushy tail Is duly recorded I as the sharply outlined footprints lead up to and over the brow of a hill. From the clean, sharp tracks left on the snow, one can readily imagine the sly. red fellow daintily placing those | tireless black feet. The trail leads into an old wood road along which the fox has trotted. At one place, evi ' dently frightened by something he has : jumped far to one side, then gone on j at a mad gallop Down to the edge ! of an lce-t overed. snow-coated pond. ! 'he tracks lead. Evidently recovered from his unexplainable panic, he steals stealthily to the cover of the bushes that fringe the froxen lake His trail proceeds to the outskirts of a frozen marsh, along which It follows. About everal muskrat houses his wayward footprints circle: at one particular dome-shaped habitation the impatient fox has scraped away the snow and seemingly endeavored to scratch through the lmpentrable. frozen mass couipOMng the roof Having probably . 1 the terrified Inmates to aban don the grass-lined living chamber, and to plunge Into the black, chilling water beneath the Ice. he has turned and made hi* way leisurely across the swamp to a hemlock grove. Cautious ly he has worked bis way under the drooping branches, his keen nose searching for some promising scent. He has alarmed a torpid grouse, as re corded by the disturbed area of snow, showing the bomb-like flight of the startled bird at the near approach of the silent stalker At one place he has jumped for a mouse, and. Judged by the Imprints, has miscalculated the distance and missed his quarry. Two or three play ful hounds mark the ascent of his trail to higher ground, where, reaching more open country it leads off to the 'j&s&ta right, the tracks showing he has bro ken into a hurried trot for parts un known. On the crest of a neighboring hard wood ridge is the trail of a noble white-tail buck. Differing from the trail of the doe. by the larger tracks, more rounded toes, greater length of stride between prints and drag on the snow before and after each particular footprint, the tracks are sufficiently interesting to follow. From the trail it may be gathered that the animal has walked leisurely along up-wind, browsing on laurel, birch twigs, and smaller bushes. He has carefully walked a log to cross a brook, and stood drinking of the clear, cold wa ter. Occasionally he has stopped to listen and look back on his trail for the detection of any harmful follower. He has nothing to fear from the front, for his sensitive muzzle would detect the warning taint on the breeze, long before the enemy itself hove in sight. In several places he has pawed the snow clear for considerable spaces, evidently in search of some winter delicacy beneath the glimmering crys tals. Another buck track still larger than the first, which it joins, promises in teresting developments further along. For some distance it follows its rival j at a walk, then impatience is shown | in the recorded tracks left by the trot | animal. This second buck one ; would Judge to be the bigger animal. ! from its larger tracks, although this need not essentially follow. At any rate he is evidently in a great hurry to overtake and challenge his prede cessor. Judging from his tracks, which show he has broken into a graceful canter. Farther on the snow records the pre liminaries of battle gone through by both bucks at sight of each other. Each has pawed and stamped the snow in a circle of considerable area. Both have broken small bushes and rubbed the bark from saplings with their antlers. At last they closed with a rush; both, from the evidence recorded ap parently having been carried to their knees by the force of the impact. Ris ing. they pushed, retreated and charged, until the snow was entirely cleared from the arena. Several times one or the other has been thrown heavily to earth; the imprints left by their bodies being plainly visible. Bits of hide, long coarse hairs and alarm ing blotches of red. prove the fler.e ness of the battle for supremacy. As is inevitably the case, the weak at last gave way; bis blood-stained trail leading off in a series of great bounds down the hillside. For some distance the second trail accompanied it, but finally branched off into a dense bit of forest, the victor evidently seek ing the shelter and solitude for recu peration from his own wounds and bruises. As twilight comes stealing over the whitened landscape, obliterating dis tance and closing in. In a gradually contracting circle, many other inter esting tracks and trails are found, but the winter days are short and the fading light beneath the trees drives one out in the open fields, across them into the road—and home.

This, aaya la the greatest laterral record od la tbe aanaia of Meteorology. and to XJ nrr~'*~ greeter tbaa ha aay oth „ —ae with which be was acquaint It Is rather rifr-ly the case that the Cashes In a distant thunderstorm are so spared that one can tell certainly to which Cash a particular peal of thunder belongs: hence the difficulty of testing the above figures. Such an opportunity was, however, recently presented to a well-known German meteorologist. Dr R. Hennig. while be was visiting a summer resort on ths Baltic. Prom his bed one night be observed flashes of lightning far oat at sea at Intervals of seven min utes. The thunder was faint, but dis tinctly audible. On "counting sec onds" be found that from SO to 90 seconds and upwards elapsed between lightning and thunder. The maximum interval was 96 seconds. Commenting on this observation a German meteorological journal states that In northern Germany Intervals of from 80 to 85 seconds between lightning and thunder have frequently been recorded. On the coast, with the abnormal distribution of atmoa pheric density, much greater Intervals are sometimes observed. At Norden. In East Fiiesland. on several occa sions there has been noted intervals as great as 140 seconds. At ordinary temperatures of the air this would correspond to a distance of about 29 miles. In one case an observer be lieved the interval to have been 310 seconds, representing a distance of about 65 miles. Brother’s Heroism Unavailing. The story of a brother's sacrifice was related in a compensation case at Stockport (Eng.) recently. The hair of a 15-year-old girl, named Edith Stuart, was caught in some machinery at the factory where she was em ployed, and she was completely scalped. A brother offered to allow skin from his leg to be grafted on his sister’s head. Sixteen pieces of skin from the brother's leg were grafted on the head of the girl, but she did not recover. In the allocation of the compensation. £10 was awarded to the brother, who was In hospital for several weeks. WILL LEAD FIGHT FOR TAFT Selection of Representative William U. McKinley of Illinois, chairman of tbe Republican congressional commit tee, to lead tbe fight for delegates for President Taft to the Republican na tional convention at Chicago, is hail ed as a drawing taut of the adminis tration lines in an out and out contest between President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. McKinley has hither to been recognized as a standpatter of the Joseph G. Cannon type. The Taft men assert that Cannonism is dead and that the McKinley appointment is a recognition of the fact that the standpatters have now aligned them selves with the president, a middle of the road progressive Republican, as against the more radical progressives represented by Theodore Roosevelt and Senators La Fcllette and Cum mins. Mr. McKinley was selected to lead the Taft fight on the suggestion of Senator W. Murray Crane of Massa- , chusetts, after a careful poll of the situation. The selection of Congressman ; McKinley to manage President Taft's campaign for re-election will make 11- , linois the center of the Roosevelt-Taft struggle. McKinley lives in Champaign, 111., and will take a personal pride in deliv- , ering his own state to Taft. He is one of the best-known Republicans in Illinois. As head of the Me- i Kinley syndicate, which controls the interurban roads of the state, he has : employes by the hundreds in the larger cities. There will be plenty of money for the Taft campaign. McKinley, as head i of the Republican national congressional committee, has gained a reputation for lavish expenditure in politics. Some criticism was heard during the day in Republican circles that Mr. McKinley was not aggressive enough to lead the Taft contest successfully. His record at the head of the congressional committee was pointed to by some with misgivings as to the present contest, and it was said he would bring no new methods into the campaign Friends of the president replied that the only work now necessary to be done for Taft's renomination is to have an official spokesman to give orders for the clearing up of a few tangled situations in various states and who can see to it that delegates are instruct ed for the president. This work has been done in part by Mr. Hilles and will be continued. It is assumed that a headquarters force will be employed, and this will be supplemented by a field force which will attend the various conventions. Representative McKinley has been chairman of the Republican congres sional committee two terms and has just been elected to a third. MAYOR QUALIFIES AS A COOK Descendants of Mayor Carter Har rison will be able to boast reminiscent ly of the “biscuits father used to make" and no one shall say them nay —for his honor the mayor is a culin ary expert. He does not have to prove it; he admits it himself. Mayor Harrison's skill with the skil let runs through a wide repertory from boiled eggs to reflector oven bis cuits—in fact, there is no end to this man s cleverness until he essays jelly, then he meets the fate of all overly ambitious persons, disaster. Mrs. Harrison is responsible for the statement that the movoral jelly is not all that could be desired. The question as to Mayor Harrison's qualifications as a cook arose the oth er day during a lull in the city hall routine in which Mayor Gaynor's un happy experience in criticising the cooking in New York's public schools was under discussion. The question of the cooking teachers of the metrop ons scnoots as to wnat could any mere man kno wabout cooking"" brought forth the mayoral ire, and with it the mayoral statement as to the mayoral ability. "I have cooked for 20 years on hunting expeditions, and I think I can get away with it in great style. My biscuits are great. I have made them in a reflector oven in camp, and any one who can make biscuits in such an oven is all right.” I^ater Mrs. Harrison, the official Harrison cook, and the maid in the Har rison household all corroborated the mayor's official edict as to his ability with the pots and pans and gas range, but said he was "not there” when it came to making jelly. “DRUMMER BOY” TO RETIRE A bill was introduced recently in the lower house of Congress by Mr. Ash worth of Ohio to retire with the rank ot major general three of the best known officers in the United States army. In the memorandum attached to the bill it is stated that "these three men. with a single exception, form the last remnant of that army of a million and a half men who fought for the preservation of the Union." The exception referred to is Maj. Daniel \V. Arnold of the quartermas ter's department, who also retires by age limit next summer. However, he does not figure in the bill because of the fact that it was not until 36 years after Appomattox that he came into the army as an officer from civil life. The three whose names are men tioned in Congressman Ashworth's bill and the combined total of whose serv ices in the army add up to more than 150 years are Brig. Gen. Daniel H. Brush, commanding the department of California: Col. James N. Allison of Governors island, and Col. John I. Clem, now on duty In Chicago. Colonel Clem is affectionately known to his com rades of the service as “Johnny Clem, drummer boy of Chickaraauga." Colonel Clem is not a West Pointer. He had a chance, but became a commissioned officer about the same time as did Colonel Allison and General Brush. NO “400” IN NEW YORK CITY The question whether the visit of the duke and duchess of Connaught and their daughter, the Princess Pa tricia, will give social leaders a long sought .opportunity to decide who's who was put to Frederick Townsend Martin. He shook his head so de cidedly that his mustache-ends vi brated. “Not at all,” he said, “ihe day of that necessity is long past. If it ever existed, it died with Ward McAllister. New York is too enormous for its society to be anything more than a network of cliques. The time was, years ago, when there were not more than a few hundred families of great wealth and cultivation here, that they all tried to stay together—to make a social unit. Now it is different. There is no ‘400' in New York today. It is a collection of one-hundreds or less, usually less. “Neither Mrs. Mills nor Mrs. Reid, or, for that matter, any social leader. could entertain Hundreds of persons at one time in the space at her dis posal. New York houses are not big enough, and ‘crushes’ are no longer fashionable.

CHILD’S HEAD A MASS OF HUMOR “I think the Cutlcura remedies are the best remedies for eczema I have ever heard of. My mother had a child who had a rash on its head when it was real young. Doctor called It baby rash. He gave us medicine, but It did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass, a running sore. It was awful; the child cried continually. We had to hold him and watch him to keep him from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cutlcura Remedies. We got a dollar bottle of Cutlcura Re solvent, a bos #f Cutlcura Ointment, and a bar of Cutlcura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cutlcura Soap, and ap plied the Cutlcura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free' from eczema, and It has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had a beau tiful head of hair. I think the Cutl cura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair.” (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept 19, 1910. Although Cutlcura Soap and Oint ment are sold everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to “Cutl cura,” Dept. L, Boston. Wish Realized. While the mercury was snuggling close to the zero mark the charter member came into the Curbstone club headquarters.
