Man and Wolf Surprised.

A hunter and wolf had an interesting
mutual surprise party to themselves in
the hills near Helena few days ago,
The hunter. arrayed in heavy wolfskin
overcoat, fur side outward, was exam
ining some traps set the previous night
He was STOPPING over one, rearranging
the bait, when there was fierce growl,
and heavy weight fell suddenly on his
back, so that he barely missed being
caught in his own trap. He managed TO
shake himself free, and recovering his
feet found facing him full grown buf-
falo wolf. The wolf seemed quite as
much surprised as the hunter, and they
looked at each other some seconds be-
fore the fight, which ended in the death
of the wolf, began. The brute evidently
was fooled by the coat and the hunters
STOPPING position and mistook him for
another wof.-Big Horn County Rustler.

Upon the minds Of such q people a.
the Hawaiians were, while under their
ancient form Of religion. h was bat nat
ural that superstition should gain =
rooted hold. The most curious and n.
fective belief 10 which they were made
subject was that a man can be prayed to
death-a belief that survives among tho
natives TO the present day. For the sue
cess of the tragical death prayer Il was
necessary to obtain some hair 0r . pieeo
of finger nail Of the intended victim A
priest was then employed % use incanta-
ton and prayer for his destruction. Al
ways informed Of the doom that the
priest was invoking upon him. tho vie
tim generally pined away and died
There Is a story current that an Eng
ishman In the service 81 Kamahameha
l, having incurred the displeasurs of
priest, the latter proceeded 20 remove"
him by the death-prayer process. The
Anglo-Saxon, however, set up an oppOsi-
ton altar in derision. and l0kingly pro
claimed that he intended 10 pray the
priest to death Alarmed az the threat
and overwhelmed az the failure of his
own incantations, the sorcerer died, prov
ing by his death his faith In his religion.

WHY THE INTERVIEWER EXISTS
A Few Reasons to Account for the Popu-
larity Of One Form of Journalism.

A Few Reasons to Account for the Popu-
larity Of One Form of Journalism.
Why do persons of notoriety admit
the domestic interviewer? Probably a
number of reasons may be assigned.
The most respectable is indolent good
nature; il is easier to say ives" than
mo-" to have the tiles in your fireplace
described as Persian, and, at the same
time, as the work of an Englishman.
than to keep your drawing room for
your acquaintance. This is the fairest
plea for permitting your person and
furniture TO be exhibited to the subur-
ban citizen who. honest man, prob
ably never heard of you and cares very
little about you.
Again the patient may really like be-
ing talked about in public-may enjoy
the idea of permitting all the world to
know, as Mr.. Allen says, ''curious little
details which might be left to your con-
science, your cook and the commission
ers of inland revenue" Ii is an odd
taste, but it is possible that ''the animals
enjoy it. The interviewed may pre-
tend to complain, but may really re-
H..
patient is pleased, the interviewer earns
his fee in the way he has been inspired
TO choose
All this may be admitted, but the plea
of necessity cannot be admitted. Again,
probably many of the patients think an
interview" good advertisement. They
are brought before the public notice;
therefore the public viii read their books
or buy their pictures. This is a sad mis-
take. The public which reads interviews
knows nothing about the. interviewed
author and his works, cares nothing
about them nor about anything of the
sort Here is gossip about somebody
whose name | have seen in the papers,
says the reader, so he reads the gossip,
hut there his interest ends.
The theory of advertisement, of profit
to accrue from little more of personal
notoriety. is a blunder. The public of
this kind cares to know that an author
squints, weighs 12 stone 10 or has a
broken nose, or uses thick handled
pen; but as to what he writes with that
pen this kind of public is serenely in
different. Where. then, is the necessity
for admitting the interviewer? Neces-
sity there is none, but Incidence, vanity,
love of notoriety, are likely to keep the
author of interviews in full employ
ment.

says practically that "Zenophon" in

talks of "Zenophon" falls little short
of the universal knowledge which it
seems is necessary for the ideal inter

Trained F,.h.

Fish have many times been taught 4,
serform tricks, and il would appear as
if they had much more intelligence than
is attributed TO them. Mr.. J. A. Bailey
of circus fame once had two brook trout
IN a small aquarium in his private resi-
dence that would jump ont Of the water
and take flies held between the fOrehngc-
and thumb and would also ring iittio
bell when they required food. They
would also leap over little bars Of wood
placed about two inches above the sur
face of the water.
Ii is very simple matter 20 teach the
fish these tricks. At first a little tower
containing "A tiny. sweet toned silver bell
was fastened 10 the iron work Of the
aquarium with piece Of string attached
to the tongue of the bell extending into
the water where the trout were. On the
loose end of the string an insect on other
tempting morsel was placed. which tho
fish would at once seize. aud pulling tho
cord the bell i'm the tower would natu-
rally tinkle. After this had been re-
peated several days the fish were left
without food for some little time until
they made the discovery that they could
obtain it by pulling at the string 60
which the delicacies had been attached.
This they never failed 60 do ever after
ward when they were hungry and as
that was nearly all the time the little
bell was constantly tingling as the hsh
were continually pulling the cord. and
1t was quite pretty and novel sight. -

Gibraltar and Spain.

1t may be objected that, although Glib
raltar might be useless to us as against
Spain, it would still. in wartime, be use
full to us as against any other power. II
certainly might be useful to very mod
fled extent. 1t is nevertheless a matter
of notoriety that Spain ardently desires
to regain possession of the fortress, and
it is scarcely conceivable that, unless we
were actually fighting for the protection
of Spanish interests, Spain would remain
rigidly neutral while another power was
attempting to expel us from the rock.
In order to secure the more or less ac-
tive cooperation of Spain the other pow
er would merely have to give some Sc
cret pledge that, having once gained
possession of Gibraltar. she would hand
it over without charge to its ancient
owners. France, there is no doubt,
would, with things standing as they do
at present, be very glad to see Spain
take our place there, and though Italy
might not like it she would not spend a
single centesimo to prevent it.-Fort-
