Dr. Swafford realized the sit- nation by the glitter In the man's eyes, and springing Tor a poker, he brandished It over Meyer's head, exclaiming: "The first move, and I'll kill you."

Two full- grown foxes were captured near this place and set at liberty in a large field was surrounded by men and boys and some few women who had turned out to see the "sport." The animals were released one at a time and when the first one emerged from the box it seemed bewildered by the shouting on all sides and hesitated before It ran off, but tha sudden rush toward it of some hounds brought from Richmond for the occasion caused It to set off at full speed.

The field was nearly covered with melting ice, which wes very smooth, and the water had gathered into thousands of shallow Across the field of Ice nnd water fox ran with incredible speed, closely followed by 'the pack of yelping hounds. The fox seemed unconscious of any foe but the dogs in the rear and when It approached near to the line of men In front It paused and appeared to be bewildered, but Instantly started oft to circle round the field. It drew away from the (Jogs very swiftly and time and time again attempted to break through the line of men. but was always turned back. Its bushy tail by trailing through the pools of water soon grew heavy and Impeded its speed and lessened its endurance.

But Its courage did not flag and for more than an hour It kept up the unequal contest, which was ended by a great hound pressing ahead and seizing the fox by the flank. It was killed by the dogs. The second fox was caught and killed In a short time. THIS TOWN IS: GROWING WINGS. Hewn will Be That It Taken Flight for Fiinullse.

ODD FELLOWS.

MIGHTY GA FISH. Monslor at Orinoco Wfll Ox a An Inhabitant of the Orinoco river, of which little is known beyond the shores of the waters in wMch it lives, is that strange mail-clad fish called the ga. or fish. It grows from five to eight feet long and is of extraordinary thickness in proportion to its length. Its body is protected by armor similar to that of the armadillo and its head terminates in a triangular peak, from twelve to twenty inches long, and eight to fourteen inches broad at the base, which, when opened, displays a series of cross- ridges above and below, sharpened and as hard as teeth.

This fish will attack anything that comes within its ox, jaguar, or man, seizing its prey with its beak and taking out, in a clean, triangular piece, as large a mouthful of. flesh and bone as it is able to compass at a bite. It is rare that any creature once seized by the ga escapes it, being usually killed or crippled by the first bite. The ga is seldom taken, for its armor protects it from the natives' spears, and when hooked it dives, head foremost into the mud of the river bottom, from which it is almost impossible to dislodge it. "The only gs.

that ever I had. a chance to examine was found in a dried up pool on shore, where it had been stranded after an inundation," said Dr. A. H. Ellis, recently arrived in New York, after several years' residence in Venezuela.

He was telling a group of friends about the fish and reptiles of the Orinoco. He continued: "I hooked a ga once, but failed to land it. I was In charge of the cattle steamer Coratel on the Orinoco, and we were at anchor at Imataca Island, off the mouth of the Rio Toro. I saw an ox, that had waded into the water keep his footing, and tten rush out of the water, with naif his brisket bitten away. 'That's the work of a ga, sir, salo my Scotch engineer, who had been on the river for ten years.

'Now that he's got around to the cattle's drinking place you'll see more of that wort if we stay 'Is there no way to catch I asked. Will he bite at a 'Certainly, sir, if you bait it with anything that's eatable. But that's ali there is to it, A cable and steam- winch couldn't get a ga up from the 'We'll I said. 'Let's make a hook first that will "We went down into the room, found a pinch bar two'and a half feet long, and forged it into a look with a strong barb and a ring at the end of the shank. To this we fastened a new three-quarter inch rope, and, baiting the hook with a young vid, took out in a boat and dropped into the water near where we had seen the ox attacked; then we rowed back to the steamer, where the other erid of the rope was belayed.

We kept feeling of the rope, which presently grew taut, straining hard on the sclaying pin. The ga had seized the 3siit. The engineer and with two native sailors, tried to haul the fish in hand over hand, but we might as well lave tried to pull a tree up by the roots for all the line we gained. Then we passed the rope round the capstan, and set it going. The line seemed almost ready to part, but at last gave way below and it slackened.

We pulled it in and there was our hook straightened out like a bar, while, fast to tiie barb, were two of the bony ridges from the ga's jaw. The fish evidently had seized the hook and could not disgorge it. but tho strain that tore the hook from its jaw failed to the ga from the bottom." UNITED WORKMEN.

Triple Link Notoi. The formation of membership clubs is ex value to lodges than is generally supposed. By this menns a friendly rivalry is created between two sets of members, which, docs not always lead to the results at, yet invariably does accomplish the bringing in of some petitions for initiation. Another result often gained is an increased attendance and a consequent greater interest in the work of the lodge. In some cases these membership clubs hnvo swelled the membership of organizations iunuzingly.

Palestine encampment of Lynn enjoys the reputation of conferring tbe patriarchal degree in a manner that is unsurpassed in Massachusetts. Samuel P. Morris, secretary of Spring Garden lodge, Philadelphia, has been a member of the order of Odd Fellows for 55 years, and is now serving his fifty-second year as secretary of his lodge. Turn over a new leaf and be a better Odd Fellow in 189S than you were in 1S97.

Louis have consolidated and will henceforth be known as Security. No. 44. It begins with 255 members. A lodge was instituted in Buffalo a short time ago with 100 charter members.

That breaks the record for 1S97. As the result of a smoke talk held by Mystic lodge of Lynn, 2S applications were received at the following meeting, nine more were known to bo in the hands of members who were unavoidably absent and seven candidates were initiated. Hta Own John Novak (better known as Bo- biimian John) is now on his way to Atlanta, to remove the headboard from his own grave, where be was buried in 1S94. In 1893, near Atlanta, John, while chopping timber, espied a la.rge bear with a cub, and fought the mother for the cub. during which he received several injuries by gentle taps from the old bear.

But, finally by a fortunate blow with bis axe, he laid old bruin out, and bleeding aud sore, triumphantly walked into town with the cub. That fall John suddenly dis- aippeared from the camp, none of his friends knowing whither he had gone. In tbe fall of 1S94 the remains of a man were found the woods near where Jorm bad his victorious battle the bear. Nothing was r'ouno about the bones with which to identify the unfortunate man save a large slieathkmfe, such as Bohemian John wore. It was then and there concluded that John had attempted to capture another cub, and thereby lost his life.

His old friends gathered the bones, took them to town, gave them decent burial and placed the head of the grave, a board bearing the inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Bohemian John killed by a bear, 1S93." John met young "Fred" Davis in fiis place, one of the party who assisted at the burial, and it was with difficulty that he convinced "Fred" that he was still in the iand of the living.

How unpleasant it is to enter a lodge and find the, members in a heated discussion over some trifling thing that amounts nothing. How discouraging it is for uew member to visit the lodge and find almost the entire evening taken up by one or two lodge kickers. How can any lodge expect a now member in tbe order to become interested when these kickers are tolerated at each and every convention. There will be a gradual falling off of the attendance, and then the officers ask the cause. 1C is pleasant to think that such is not the case in the greater number of Journal.

The object of the order of the Knights of Khorassan is to cultivate the social side of life and to endeavor to bring Pythians together. Pythianism teaches loyalty to the government and flag under which we live. The admission into a lodge of the order has been the turning point in the lives of many young men. They have been shown that -it is not all of life that we see in tbe mad rush for possession of worldly goods. The uniform rank gained foothold in Tennessee in 1881.
