"A recent decision Of the supreme
court OF tho United States contains the

sources OF crime and misery to society

drunk at tho time, are sold indiscrimin-

Hall Gaines Idea.

At dinner given by the Aldine club
of New York to Hall Caine that gentle
man said regarding the relations be-
tween Canada and the United States:
"The relations between Canada and
the United States may sometimes be a
little strained, but there seems, to an
Englishman, to be no sufficient reason
why two great nations should not live
in friendly rivalry on this great CONT
nent. [ came here, sir, by way Of Nj
agara, where the river that divides your
country from Canada looks angry and
impossible enough. But dare say you
have noticed that in that watery horse
shoe angle, where the. breach between
the two countries is widest, the sun can
never shine on the clouds of vapor which
rise out Of those troubled waters with
out making beautiful rainbow, which
bridges land to land.
"Gentlemen and brother authors, in
the most troubled moment between Can
ada and the United States, it only needs
the sunshine of good faith and good fell
lowship to bridge over the differences
between you"

story runs as follows:
ga poor monk had been condemned
to death, but was told mockingly by his
judges that if he was able to copy the
whole Code between darkness and

the impossibility of the task, those who
sentenced him furnished him with the
original copy of the Code. with pen,
ink and parchment and left him.
"Death must have been as little liked
in the middle ages as it is now, for the
monk, forgetting the hopelessness Of

however, he saw that he could not save
his own life by such weak exertions,

he invoked the aid of the prince of
darkness, promising to surrender his

Curious Chinese Playing Cards.

A pack of Chinese playing cards is a
genuine curiosity. They are generally
printed in black on thin cardboard, the
average width and breadth being about
that of the finger of human being. In
some cases they are only half an inch
broad and about 8 4 inches in length.
The length, no odds what the size, is
always at least six times that Of the
width. Some Of the packs have queer
representations of z our ''kings,"
"queens'' and "knaves" stamped upon
them in black. Others are decorated
with the figures of animals, birds and
fishes Those used by mandaxins and

Oil Paintings Should Not Be Placed In

Only second to Importance to produc-

work when completed should be seen to
an advantage on the walls where it is

quently as a matter of necessity, but we
consider it, from point of artistic
taste, mistake.
again, there should be a certain
classification of subjects in the pictures

to this is occasionally ludicrous. Irecall
one instance where there was print of

hanging on either side of it, engravings

ing could be more absurd than placing
in Immediately juxtaposition works in
which the motives of the designs are SO
directly opposite as the illustration of
death, a village 1evel and the fierce
shock of BATTLE
GAS a general rule, it is we'll to place
pictures of certain order of design to-
gether. Some works can only be seen to
advantage in a bright and others in
subdued light, while it is equally GER
tain that many lose nothing if placed
above the line of sight, and others gain
rather than lose if hung much nearer
the floor.
"a medallion or bas-relief Of the right
sort set in here or there among the pic
lures is a relief to the artistic sense,
and above all, all sorts and conditions

gilt do not offend when in close posi-
tion, but pictures framed in oak or any

LARGE LOT OF WOLVES.

Mr.. +. A. Saunders Of Bates park
vas in Casper yesterday. He brought
n a load of products from his ranch
and returned with a load of ranch sup
plies. Mr.. Saunders reports predatory
animals almost unbearable in the
park. Wolves have become so plenti-
full and daring that live stock is rot
only in great danger, but killed on the
range. One evening last week seven
big gray wolves run his bunch of cattle
right into his door yard and killed his
watch dog before they would leave.
and then he had to drive them away
with his rifle, but failed to kill any.
Harold Banner was also in from his
ranch on the Muddy and reports wolves
on the creek and Muddy mountain
more plentiful and dangerous than for
many years.
Major Ormsby tells how many more
there are this year than last and how
bold in a%ssaulting stock. One day last
week a big gray fellow rushed into a
bunch of sheep, so close that he shot
and crippled him and then chased him
on a horse three miles into his den.-
