Coyotes and Cattle.

a novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droves of coyotes that infest
the region has been hit upon by a
rancher of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed bells on the necks of great
number of cattle in his herds. and the
result has been to scare the COYOTES
away. In the two months since he
belled his herds he has not lost a single
animal, while previously his loss aver

son in many parts of Washington and
Oregon, despite all the efforts of the cat
tlemen and farmers to exterminate
them. Thousands of dollars are spent
every year in waging war on the beasts.
but with little result. Poison availed
for time, but now the coyotes refuse to
touch the poisoned carcasses of steers
strewn about for their CONSUMPTION.
The only way of killing them is by
shooting them, and this is a feeble and
wholly inadequate means. Occasion

this is the only means of appreciably

some regions the packs of gray wolves
are as numerous and troublesome as
the coyotes. The coyotes are particu-
larly adept chicken thieves, and. in

RourCet Praises Yankee Women.

What, then, has NJ. Bourget to say OF
the American woman? To begin with,
he seems bewildered with her COM
plexity, for he calls her in turn an idol,
an enigma, an orchid, an exotic, while
she typifies. in a country as yet with
out an ideal, the yankees devotion to
sheer force of will. She is not made to
be loved. She does not want to be
loved. is neither voluptuousness nor
tenderness that she symbollzes she is
a palpitating objet dart, at once sumpt-
uous, alert, intelligent, and audacious,
and as such the pride and luxury of a
new and somewhat defiant civilization.
In fine, NJ. Bourgeois language on the
subject is so magnificent that we
should write him down a romanticist
pure and simple were Il not that, in the
the course of his analysis, he shows us
another side Of the picture. The pur-
ity of the American girl, the author Of
lie Disciple" tells us, is not to be ques-
toned. She Is coquettish as well as
calculating, and as frankly mercenary
on occasion as she is naively self-cen-
tered. Clearly, IL is the individualism
Of the American woman that surprises
the critics of the Latin race, for north
erners have little difficulty in under
standing n nature which seeks its inter-
est as much in globe trottlng and self
culture--or shall we call 1t self-ad-
vancement?-as in mere ebullitions OF
passion or sentiment.

Wars Wont Last Inny

Captain James, in an address before
the Royal United Service institution in
London. declared that modern military
development would inevitably shorten
the period of war. Moreover, he as
serted, while at the actual point of bat
tie, the destruction would be vastly
increased, the aggregate loss of men
in an entire war would be really re-
duced by the improved means of treat

The Postmaster General May Suggest
Complete Civil Service.

complete Ctvn service.
When Postmaster General Wilson
draws up his annual report for the fis-
cal year just closed he will state that
there has been a remarkable falling off
in the number of postofflces established,
as compared with former years. The
postoffice officials can only figure out
about 10000 of all classes fully estab-
lished now, although there were con-
sderably over SO 900 a year ago. The
usual number Of offices established each
year is from 5000 to 5000, but during the
last year there has been a disposition
on the part of the postoffice authorities
TO discourage the establishment of new
offices. The postofIice officials claim
that while there has been a consider
able increase in the postal service all
over the country from a business stand
point the falling off in the number of
new offices established Is due probably
TO the exercise of a finer discretion and
more rigid economy than has been dis
played heretofore in connection with
that branch OF the service. II Is prob
able that Postmaster General Wilson
may recommend that all grades of
postmasters be placed under the civil
service law and the tenure of office of a
postmaster made to continue during
good behavior, says the Milwaukee SEN
tinel. Under the present administers
ton the practice of holding caucuses

postmaster has frequently been re-
sorted TO in all parts of the country,
but especially in New England and the
southern states. The records of the
postoffice department will show that in
nine cases out of ten the postmaster
general has acted favorably upon the
suggestions of the caucus.

Too Much Bustle and Worry.

In this age of prosaic active business
life, it sometimes seems as though there
were not room for any real romance or
tender thoughtfulness to creep in. All
is hustle and worry. There is continual
talk of how best to obtain the nimble
dollar. and the sentiment is often left
in the lurch, overgrown by the moss
and lichens of ambition and the desire
for worldly prosperity. or course we
are sufficiently womanly and human 10
appreciate the dainty, luxurious sur
roundings that money brings, but we
believe we voice all women's thoughts
when we declare that we would rather
have fewer handsome clothes, less i'm
pressive furniture in our homes, and
five-cent trolley rides instead of brisk
spins behind blooded steeds If love and
sentiment were brought to bear lit
tie more strongly upon our daily lives.
The anniversaries or births or or
weddings are allowed all too frequently
to pass by unheeded, the father or hus-
band actually not knowing that the all
important date from a woman's stand
point is any different from others that
mark only the rise or fall of certain
stocks in which he is interested. If
but. oh! there looms up such gulf OF
natural impossibility after that wee
word of two letters-if men could only
be made to understand that bunch Of
flowers given in remembrance of a
birthday or a wedding anniversary
means more to a woman than a seal
skin coat or diamond pendant, be-
slowed when business is particularly
fiourishing, then, perhaps, they would
try right hard to acquire what seems
absolutely unnatural to them and as
sumo a virtue, though they possess it
not.
To a woman there is so much in the
memory of the past. She dwells upon
it, lives in 1t, and wonders why IL does
not appeal so utterly and entirely TO
her husband or lover as it does to her.
We women are really very silly about
some things, but it is our nature to
cherish sweet recollections and to feel
touched by the thoughtfulness that
plans some little festivity on the ami
versary of an occasion which has
marked an epoch in our lives. We do
not demand much. No great gifts are
envied, no marvellous entertainment de-
sired, but a gift breathing forth the
sentiment with which we are filled, no
matter how humble it may be, seems
sweeter to us than the royal bestowal
of kings or queens. If we could but
whisper this secret to the great world of
married men, who, though welded, do
not understand women, we would do /
more toward bringing happiness into
domestic life than will ever be accom-
plished by crusades or public move |
ments of any sort.
