he has succeeded. pathy
Being an old hunter, and knowing make
the ways of foxes, Norton at the out- gain
set recognized the fact that to be men
healthy, and thus profitable, his stock and l
must be contented, and to insure this Th(
happy condition he so constructed and on tl
arranged his inclosure as to dispel the jtudgi
Idea of captivity-which foxes cannot the i,

to keep the foxes in and to keep other kno
animals out. Six inclosures thus
formed cover about one and a half hig
acres of ground, and in each of them mly
is a kennel built of wood and set deep fror
into the earth serving as a nursery farr
and as a den for the foxes in winter. and
At first a few of the foxes escaped by
burrowing down under the fence, but fee
Norton stopped this by carrying the id
wire down from four to eight feet to
the solid ledge. The whole farm has o
been allowed to grow up with rank o
grass and weeds, so that it resembles the
the native haunts of the fox in the
wildwood, and Norton's stock does not ad
seem to realize that it is living in
captivity.
On the farm are common red foxes bre
from the woods of Maine, blue foxes al
from Alaska; silver grays from Prince
Edwardl island, and blacks from Ohio. pu
The reds are the commonest and least pal
valued of foxes; blues are worth Of
more, but the silver grays and the pe
blacks are the aristocrats. As a mat
tar of fact, the black and the silver pi
gray are the same breed, a silver gray sal
being a black with a sprinkling of ov
gray hairs. The black fox pelt i to
among the most valuable of furs, fine as
specimens frequently bringing $300 to '
$600, while in several instances as
high as $1,000 to $1,200 has been paid.
Norton had not been long in the
business when he made the impor
tant discovery that it is possible to ci
reproduce black and silver gray foxes. d(
Naturalists say that these rare sped ci
mens are simply freaks of nature, be- m
ing liable to appear among the com- m
mend reds at any time, while their ol
progeny is more than likely to wear BI
the plebeian red coat. Norton has gi
discovered, however, that by inbreed. s
Ing it is possible, in the course of ci
time, to eliminate the red and pro
duce the genuine black variety. He tl
bought an Ohio black fox, paying $300
for it, and this he bred with a com t
mon Maine red, then bred their
progeny together, and so on. Thus
fsr he has met with flattering success,
add he feels confident that his sue
S cas will continue. Last year he sold
a pir of black foxes bred on his farm r
for $500, and now has a family of C
four, which he values at $1,000.
The foxes are fed with scraps of
meat, bread, milk and the like, and
are alL in good health. In summer
time they need to be watered, but in t
winter they quench their thirst with
snow.
oWhen Norton wants to capture one
of his foxes he simply pokes his hand
down into a burrow, to which shelter
they flee -when any one approaches,
and pulls the animal out, much as one
would take an apple out of a bag. All
of his 35 foxes seem to know him as
S dogs know their master, and at feed
ing time they frolic about him like so
many kittens. The beauties of the
colony are a pair of twin blacks, now
ten weeks old, coal black with the ex
ception of snowy white at the tips

The late Peleg W. Chandler, who han
was hard of hearing, was one of the
most effective of war-time speakers. ham
Every occasion illustrated his elo
quence and demonstrated the quick
ness of his repartee. At one imeet
i ing he was frequently interrulpted by
a blackguard at the rear of the hall,
who kept shouting: "Why don't you
go yourself?" For a time Mr. ('hand
ler's deafness prevented him from
catching the exact nature of the in
terruption of which he had been for
some time conscious. At last, Mr.
Chandler caught the words of the dis
,ge- turber. Then, in the mildest accents,
eat which emphasized the force of the Non
words, he said: "Young man, if my long
ears were as good as yours, and as Lin
