Prowline Wolves Increasing.


The gray wolf, the bane Of cattlemen
and flock masters, appears to multiply
and flourish in defiance Of the efforts
Of the hunter and the price set upon his
head. Advices from all sections Of the
range country report that gray wolves
are as numerous and destructive as
ever. Range riders are witnesses to
the fact that the fattest and strongest
steers are frequently overcome by these
ferocious beasts, while the weak and
infirm surrender to their attacks al
most without a struggle. The live stock
loss OF Montana from this source can
not be calculated, but from the nature
of the case It must be tremendous.
Professional hunters state that the
gray wolf is an exceptionally difficult
animal TO circumvent. His cunning is
remarkable and his suspicious nature
causes him to avoid any locality which
his keen senses notify him has been
invaded by his human enemy. He Is
not q gregarious animal, preferrtng to
roam in small punches. which prevents
such a wholesale killing as could be ac-
complished II a large band should fall
within the power Of the hunter. He
avoids poisoned bats and dead car
casses; he Is essentially a beast OF
prey, preferring fresh meat at all times
and when the pangs Of hunger are felt
he starts out to find something with
warm blood In II.
For these reasons wolf hunting is at
exceptionally slow and precarious Occu-
patton: trapping, chasing and shooting
are practically the only methods that
produce results, and attractive induce
ments are necessary to encourage hunt
ers to engage In that work as a means
Of livelihood.-Benton River (Mont.l

Who Believes in Them3

The bride who dreams Of fairies the
night before her marriage will be thrice
blessed. If the groom carries a minia-
ture horseshoe in his pocket he will
always have good luck. Marriages at
sea are considered anything but lucky.
Get married on land, or not at all. No
bride or groom should be given a tele-
gram while on the way to church. 1t
Is sign Of evil. No bride, to have
good luck, should bake her own wed
ding cake. To do so invites i'll fortune.
If the wedding ring is dropped during
the ceremony the bride may as well
wish herself unborn, for she will al
ways have evil luck. Should the bride
perchance see a coffin while being driy-
en- to the railway station prior to de-
parting on her wedding tour she should
order the driver to turn back and start
over again, or else she will surely meet
with bad luck.

How a Boy Succeeded.

There was a twinkle In the boys eyes
which made the merchant think again.
A partner In the firm volunteered to
remark that he did not see what the v
wanted with such boy; he wasn't
bigger than a pint of cider" But, after
consultation, the boy was set to work.
A few days later a call was made on
the boys in the store for some one to
stay all night. The prompt response

he replied: "YOu told me never to

Muriel never dreams that this letter has

the strangest cargoes in the world. 1t
was loaded full of nothing but dried
lizards, thousands and thousands Of
them. all packed in together like SO
many sardines in a box. 1t had taken
hundreds Of natives several months to
catch these lizards and to bring them
to the port. In doing this they chased
wer the sandy plains around the town
IF Wuchow, IN Kwangsi, looking for
lizard burrows and digging out lizard
families by the hundreds. These dried
lizards are used for a very strange pur-

people think very good for curing sick
