The Coyote or Bark ng Wolf.

The Coyote or Bark HS w OH.
St. Nicholas.
The barking habit of coyote
is very doglike, and his old name
of barking wolf is very appropriate.
When collecting mammals in
Wyoming, it was very common
thing for us to hear the coyotes
around our camp set up a great
barking in chorus at the first sign
Of davbreak, just when the roosters
begin to crow on the farm. 1t is
wild and uncultivated kind of a
bark, ending IN a -raIsetJo 'iow1'
and resembles the cry of the jackal
of India more nearly than any
other sound / ever heard.
But Sir Coyote is cute. He
knows exactly the distance that
constitutes fair rifle range, and ne
knows just as we'll whether the
stranger is armed as does the
stranger himself. When hunting
in the Shoshone Mountains III 1889,
I wanted to kill a coyote for a
special purpose, but never once
succeeded IN getting a fair shot,
even at 200 yard. For len days we
banged away industriously at every
one we saw, but never touched a
hair. Finally, at Corbett's ranch,
1 left the expedition, and started
north by stage, leaving behind me
rife, revolver, knife, and even
scissors. Just two hours after l
had said goodbye to my shooting
irons, and taken the blackboard
'.stage," we saw a coyote ahead of
US, close to the trail. Seeing us
coming, he selected a soft spot,
sat down within thirty yards of
the trail, and waited for US.
We drove up, stoppedas we got
opposite him and still he did not
run. That villain sat there coolly
and looked us over without moving
a muscle, but with leer that
plainly said, "Now don't you wish
you had your old gum" When we
got through making faces at him
and wishing for gun, revolver,
or even common stone TO fire at
him, we drove on; and then he got
up and went on hunting for jack.
rabbits. To this day | have been
puzzling over the question, "How
did that gray rascal find out sc
quickly that both the driver and
were totally unarmcd?" That he
did know it perfectly we'll l have
no doubt whatever, for no coyote
ever waited like that for a mar
with gun.

DEsPIsEs MUGWUMPs.

The governor tqen turning, sud-
denly and in-sorewhat excited
and very forcible manner said:
81 despise Cleveland and his
mugwumps. He is no better than
the rankest republican. He has
destroyed the democratic party.
The south and west will be forced
now to unite and have complete
reorganization of party lines. The
people who are afraid of the negro
and other questions will have to
cast aside their fears on those
scores and come together on the
one line of fighting the money
combination. Cleveland has been
working under the dictation OF
the New York bankers and
bargaining with them in the mat
ter of the issue of bonds. He
promised the bankers that if they
would take the bonds tqere would
be no more legislation on the silver
question by this congress. Congress
passed the seigniorage act and he
vetoed the bill indicating plainly
the nature of his bargain with the
bankers.

For THE THOUGHTFUL.

! For THE THOUGHTFUL.
SELECTED.
Truth is the strength Of God.
People who love much can dc
much. .
Education should lead and not
force on.
1t never helps sin any to wash
its face.
No man is lost unless he loses
himself.
1t is hard to get great hope into
small soul.
All offers of salvation are in the
present tense.
If we obey Christ it is proof that
we know Him.
Sin is great detective, railways
"spots" it's man.
Live to help others and others
will live to help you.
No earthly duty can take the
place of duty to God.
Nothing but the body Of a good
man can be in a coffin.
Remember that now is the day of
salvation, not tomorrow.
The !Seurney to heaven cannot
be made in bad company.
No prayers except those the heart
speaksare heard in heaven.
TheChristian heart ought to be
the biggest thing outside Of heaven.
Reflective virtue is no virtue. A
fine robe may cover a corrupt heart.
Try to keep Gods law and you
will soon find out that He made ii.
What the devil hates most in
man is the image of God in his
heart.
The man who points to the cross
should never do it with a frown on
his face.
Thank God for what you have
eyerv-time Yon ask him for what
You have no more right to rob
your neighbor than you have to set
him a bad example.
The man who yearns for the
onions of Egyp. will never taste
the grapes Of Eschol.
No matter what we claim, unless
we hate vice with the whole heart
we do not love God.
Let your light shine and it will
speak for itself. Don't put up a
finger board pointing to it.
One of the hardest things to
learn is that we are made out of
the same clay as other folks.
How good God is that He should
use even our misfortunes and our
sorrow to draw US nearer to HIM
self.
No matter how much the wicked
get they only get to lose, but what
ever the righteous get they get to
keep.
The greatest duty every father
owes to his children is to walk
where it will be safe for them to
follow.
The man only has learned to live
rightly who takes with a smile the
worlds praise or blame; and with
a steady head and hand goes
straight OH in the work that he has
in his hand.
To believe in Him is to be like
Him. All other faith is mere
mist of words dissolving into
empty air, To live our human
lives az He lived His-purely, low
ingly, righteously-is to share His
eternity.
"Be watchfull." Watch yourself
in all your dealings. Let them be
such as becomes Christian. Watch
all your actions among your fellow
men. Let them be Christ-llke.
Watch not others actions, but your
own. Watch for opportunities to
do good.

A SCHEME OF ROBBERY.

"The whole thing is such

CONSIDERATION OVER OUT.
RAGEOUS ARRESTS.
Prisoners Sent to Managua for
Trial-Briiish and American
Captains Act.

r NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 24.-The Gussie,
which arrived tonight from Bluefields,
brought the latest news from the Asso-
clated Press correspondents the dispatch
being dated on the 18th.
Lieut.. T. L. Roberts, of the cruiser
Columbia, was passenger charged with
special messages to Washington.
fhe American and English prisoners
taken by MadrlZ were kept in close
confinement all day. Messages were
sent to the Columbia and the Mohawk
both. Capt. Sumner wrote note asking
that the prisoners be made acquainted
with the charges against them, con e
Ironteu with the witnesses and tried at
BlueheldS. The message was entrusted
to Lieut. Hill, and he and Consul Seat
called at the government building, but
could get no information from the
authorities. The prisoners said they
had been given their choice between
exile and trial at Managua, and they
has accepted the latter alternative, as
they had been guilty of no oifense ex-
cept to act on Clarence's governmental
staff after Cabezas' fight, which lett
Bluefields without any government.
Before accepting office. both the Eng
lish and American members of the pro-
sVfsioifaiSeoancltc called on their respect
i've commanders and received their
consent to accept.
An attempt was made to send the
prisoners to Greytown by coasting
schooner. bet the sea was too rough,
and the boat put back. They were
later taken on the Yuu. From Grey
town they will be taken to Managua.
In the meantime there is consterna-
tlon among foreign residents at Blue
fields. and the planters have ordered
their people discharged, aud business
temporarily abandoned.
Six American negroes have been ar
rested for completely in the revolution.
Word was sent to another American to
call aud be arrested. but he took
refuge in the American consul
late. The leading members of
Clarence's cabinet have also been ar
rested, and Clarence would have been
but for his taking passage for Jamaica
with the other refugees under British
protection. During the day the cruiser
Mohawk steamed up alongside of the
Columbia, and, after conference be
tween the commanders. both ships put
out TO sea. The Columbia then an
chored on the high sea, and the Mo-
hawk kept on towards Greytown. 1t is
thought the purpose Is to intercept the
prisoners on their way to Greytown.
