completed, was informed that there we're
some hides there which he might punch IL
no wished. Then the justice got TO work.
and when he had finished. the number
punched was found to be III coyotes and %
wolf skins. This. At the regular price of Is
cents each. was quite a profitable piece Of
work for the justice. Mr.. Turner has a
band OF magnificent greyhounds and sting
hounds, and has bssn instrumental In play
ing havoc with the bands of wolves and
coyotes which infest the Marias range. Tho
1914 skins represent the work Of Mr.. Turner
and his pack Of hounds thus far this year,
and while there are still hundreds Of
wolves and coyotes along the river the
number In that particular locality has de-
creased quite p%sroeptiblv. The various cat

work. and will particularly notice its bene-
hoial effect In their calf crops hereafter.

Christianity, the Bible being the standard

night is directly opposite to the Bible.
"You quote correctly from his sermon

and not to the material sosld.' But what

prayed earnestly that 1t might not rain:
