Wanted to Marry the Minister.

CAMDEN, N. J.,Aug. ia good
looking, refined young woman walk
ed demurely into the parlor of Rev.
Il. j. Shaw's residence and calmly
announced that she had come to be
married to him. Mr.. Shaw, who is
the much-liked pastor of Bethany
Methodist Episcopal church, and a
rather handsome man, was some
what surprised at the declaration,
but it did not prepare him for the
amorous outburst that followed. The
young woman declared her undyiug
affection for the preacher, and when
his wife strolled into the room de.
clared that he must procure di-
vorce and marry her. A policeman
arrived just as the young woman
was heartily embracing the Rev. Mr..
Shaw, and she was taken out. She
has not been identified, but is said to
be the daughter of well-known
business man and has lost her mind
through religious excitement.

COYOTE STRATEGY.
How the Tawny Army of Hungry Brute

How the Tawny Army of Hungry Brutes
Captures Its Prey.
In the dim light of the early morn
ing in certain parts of the Humboldt,
Peranegat, Mason and other valleys
may be seen queer tawny army,
marshaled in some places by dozens
and in others by scores. The army
Is called together by reveille, and
soon thereafter the strange music
which breaks the stiffness of the
desert swells into chorus partici-
pated in by all the members OF the
tawny troop.
1t is the gathering of the coyotes,
and they are out, their appetites
sharpened by the crisp air, to gain
their regular breakfast of jerked
jack rabbit meat. There is q shifting
among the sage and greasewood by
the avant courriers of the sharp
toothed brigade Meantime all the
others have been deployed in such a
manner that when fleet footed jack
has been raised from his lair he is
passed on and on. The coyotes usually
arrange themselves in the form of a
long ellipse. Thus the jack, how
ever large and strong, and whether
feet as the wind, is sure to at last
weary himself.
He cannot get out, for willy coyote
at every turn checks him and keeps
him in the ellipse and in the lead of
his pursuer. When the coyote in
pursuit tires, another, fresh as the air
of the morning, takes up the chase.
Thus an untiring Nemesis is always
after him, and in due time the tired,
painting rabbit falls prey to the yel
low troop.
At the death they all rush in, their
jaws working like fast flying shear
blades. The rabbit is cut in pieces,
snapped up and eaten, and then an
other weird reveille is sounded and
another jack is started up; and thus
they go for two or three hours some
times, until the hunger of all is ap-
peased.
This hunting in troops enables each
of the brigade of coyotes to get a
good meal. If but one of the coyotes
were to start after the rapidly flying
jack he would become quickly wind
ed without affecting the jack what
ever; but with relays of coyotes, and
one always to take up the chase when
the other is tired, victory soon perches
m, tbair, bopra1.
The coyote army is most scientific
ally generated. The commander-in-
chief, a veteran of the chase usually
sits on some slight eminence, his
lieutenant and aids being in full view
to repeat his orders.
Never was there a better drilled
army than this of the coyotes. What
they don't know about maneuvering,
ambuscades and the tactics of the
field generally it will take long
time to find out. have studied
them much. 1t is one of the most
interesting sights of the desert to see
the marshaling Of tho coyotes at the
sounding of the weird reveille and
watch their capture of the rabbits. =

Pretty Bad.

One evening, at the Grand Opera
house in Gloversville, Miss Osborne's
Grand Metropolitan company" of
which no one had ever heard, played
a horrible piece, ostensibly by Sar-
dou, of which probably Sardou had
never heard. Next to a burly ma
tive, who was painfully absorbed in
the tragedy, sat New York drum
mer, who could understand very lit
tie on account Of the poor architec-
ture of the house.
Turning to his neighbor, the drum
mer remarked, 81 find the acoustics
very bad, don't yous" eyes, it is
rather bad tonight, he replied, sniff
ing the air; ''you see it comes from
the tanneries in the neighborhood.
In hot weather the smell is worse
than at other times" He again
turned his attention to the stage and
left the drummer to his reflections.
