All tho world over, Easter Is a sea son of great rejoicing, as everything begins US cast off tho dinginess of winter and nature herself exhibits the spirit of resurrection.

A FOXY FOX HUNTER. Kooleil Sly Mr. .Reynard by Hunting; Him With a Lame Dor. i George Decker's style of hunting! foxes in Pike county is still more i I novel than the masquerading for moose in Maine, says Fur News. When fox skins commanded a high price In tho market some years ago I foxes wero hunted and trapped ipr profit, and, being plentiful In Pike I pmintv Clin tmnnnru turnip mnnov. Decker dlstln-: guisheu himself by bringing in from I four to ten foxes every time he went out. while other famed hunters and trappers frequently returned em pty handed. Decker's brother hunt ers became jealous of his success, and .as ho never would permit any one to hunt with him It was years before his methods became known. "Tliero's more ways than one to get the best of a fox," Decker says, "and 1 learned them all by keeping my eyes open and watching the doings of foxes. I noticed that a lamo dog was better than a sound one to run down foxes with. The way I found that out was by a dog I had going lame in one hind leg wnn0 he was tracking a fox. "He was a blooded dog, full of same, and ho kept right on after tho fox, running slower, of course. U 't long before noticed a seen.ed to know that the dog wns crippled and to actually take delight in not attempting to eludo the dog by cunning, but in keeping Just far enough ahead to be In sight and hearing of him, as if to . tan- 80on as it saw the dog was lamo i adopted the sarao tactics as the oth- or ono had That settled it in my j mind that if a fox only felt certain , of eventualIy geUinK a Bafe hiding paL.ei helng chased by a hound wns Just as much fun for him as It was for the hunter, and he would enjoy It as long as he felt Inclined to. "I have hunted foxes with a hound disabled In ono leg over since, nnd never found ono fox yet that wouldn't take things most tantaliz ing easy with tho dog, nnd I hnvo got every fox I over started with a lamo dog."

A correspondent of tho New York Sun writing from Turner, Bays; Tho oldest railroad station in tho country will disappear when tho Erie builds Its new station nt this placo on tho ground donated by Mrs. Mary Harri mnn. Furthermore, in this stntlon was established tho first railway din ing place. From this Turner stntlon also was sent tho first order by tele graph Tor the running of a train in the history of railroading. The Turner station was built In 1810, in anticipation of thc opening of the Now York and Erie Railroad, which wos put in operation In Sep tember, 1841, botweon I'lcrniont and Goshen. Tho Turner family had BNiniuu ....... u, wh ii... tn 1 .. r .. I .. i. . .. t ... over men in mini .y uuiu uiiu cuii structed the station building on con- ditlon that every passenger train should stop here nnd that the station should be recognized ns an official stopping place for meals and re freshments. Peter Tumor established an eat ing place for railroad travellers that In tlmo became famous Although i only forty miles from Now York every train on the Erie at any time of day or night stopped from ten to twenty minutes at Turner's for re freshments. In 1851 the Erie was opened all the way to Dunkirk. C was tho general superin Charles Minot tendent. The track was single. The telegraph wa3 a comparatively new thing commer cially lind unknown ns an auxiliary to railroading. The train that hadn't the right of way had to wait on n siding for the passing of the train Hint hud the right of way. if a train with tho right ot way was late there was no way of knowing how late, and consequently the wnlts were often long and travel slow and tedious. In tho summer of ISol Supt. Minot. going west on a train, was waiting at Turner's for the arrival of a train coming east. The tele graph had recently been put In oper ation along the line of the railroad. Minot telegraphed to Port Jervis and found that tho train from the west had not arrived there yet. The run between fort Jervis and Turner's was moro than an hour. Minot instructed the agent at Port Jervis to hold the train there when It came in until further orders and had the agent repeat the message and say that he understood it. Then Minot handed the order to the en- glncer of the train and told him to go ahead. The engineer refused to run his train on the telegraph order and Minot ordered him from the cab anu ran the train nimseii, arriving at Port Jervis before the train from tne West, thus saving an hour and a half's delay to the westbound train; and the worldwide system of tele graphic running of railroad trains was born. The fame and prosperity of Peter Turner's pioneer railroad eating house was dimmed for a few years by the ambitions and schemes of per sons of influence in tho Erie manage ment. During the administration of Robert H. Herdell at a cost of sever al hundred thousands of Erie money ahotel and station building, describ ed at the time as palatial, was erected on the company's property a short distance east of tho original Turner station building.
