saved His Cattle From coyotes.

a novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droves OF coyettes that infest
the region has been hit upon by q
rancher of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed bells on the necks of n great
number of cattle in his herds, and the
result has been to scare the.t coyotes
away. In the two months since he
belled his herds he has not lost single,
animal while previously his losstaVer-
aged.a least one steer a day. Coyotes
are becoming more of a pest every sea-,
son In many parts Of Washington and
oregon, despite all the efforts of the
cattlemen and farmers to exterminate
them. thousands OF. dollars are spent
every year In wagipg war on the beasts
but with little result Poison awaited,
FOR a time, but now the coyotes refuse
TO touch the poisoned carcasses of
steers strewn about for their consump-
tion. The only way .of killing them is'
by shooting them. and this Is q feeble
and wholly Inadequate means. Occe-
sionally the residents OF a district com.
pine and have q grand roundup hunt
driVing n coyotes toward the centre
or u circle, n Strengthening them
there, and this Is the only means OF
appreciably thinning them out occa-
sionaily.. In some regions the packs Of
gray wolves are as numerous and trou-
blesome as the coyotes. The coyotes
are particularly adept chicken thieves.
and indeed, are q general pest around
the farmyards.

The following dream story was told
the other day I'm a group of marine un-
dcrwriters as being literally true:
An underwater some time ago had a
very vivid dream that n certain boat,
on which his companies had the insur-
ancc, had been lost. There was moth
ing particular about the boat to have
caused the dream, nor had here been
any circumstances arising in business
which might hav turned his mind in
that direction. The boat was of the
highest rating. had been accepted In
the usual order OF business. had had no
mishaps, II was simply one of the
vessels on the lakes. The underwater,
who Is not given to superstition. vas
much impressed by the dream. and the
next n he ordered that the risks of
his companies on the boat be ~reinsur-
ed. This was done, and inside OF three
days the boat became q total loss.
Il don't believe In dreams" the un-
derwritcr said. ''for II | did I would
have dreamed OF some other losses and
had them reinsured In time 1t was only
q remarkable coincidence, probably, In
this case, but I can say hat I would
not have rested easy after that night
mare of u dream until L had the BOAT
