A Coyote Trained to Hunt.

DR.. J. F. Moorehead, of Arkansas
City, Kan, mas pet coyote which is a
first-class hunter. Jingle, as the animal
is named, was caught before it could see,
by a colored. boy named Bass. 1t was
raised by aid of bottle with rubber
tube, and was kept on milk diet for
some weeks. Now Jingle can eat most
anything, though he has a partiality for
poultry and passion for fat ducks. He
is quite tame, and resembles bulldog
in disposition. With strangers he is
trea"herous, bat with those who know
him he is quite friendly, and very
jealous of any carcsses bestowed on his
friend, the doctors fine Irish spaniel.
Jingle was taught hunting when quite
young, and he is now treasure in the
field. He will put up jack rabbit and
run it down by strategy. If he sees
pairie chickens on the ground he will
steal up quietly and catch ore or two by
sudden spring. He is pretty good on
deer. No amount of teaching can per-
suade him that he ought to carry game
to the hunter. He will readily relin-
quish all claims to his spoils, but he holds
on until distinct demand is made. One
Of Jingle's pet aversions is q cat. In
order to catch stray pussy he will pre-
tend TO be tugging at his chain, while
he has really lots of slack. He can.
measure distance to the inch, and if ever
cats gets within his reach he makes
spring, and pussy's owners are left won
dering what's become OF her. - Globe
