Hunting the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it Unfortunately called, is a
species OF < game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
of the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF Its actual
rarity. 1t is Il stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk. etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where f4nnd
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.

Future Secretary of the Treasury Ban
quoted at Chicsgo-His Remarks.
CHICAGO, Feb. l3-The CONNER
cial club gave a farewell dinner to
Lyman j. Gage, the new secretary Of
the Auditorium, and about 100 mel
prominent in business and commercial
circles were present. In the course of
his speech, MI. Gage said:
Wisely. or unwisely. l have pleaded
for federation, for patience with mis-.
understanding, for a broad citizenship !;
not limited to local surroundings a
citizenship which welcomes business
success, because it lends power and in
fuence in the large social life, to which
duty and true happiness stand in close
relations"
Mr.. Gage said that the most ad.
vanced scientists now recognize that a
very large number of so-called diseases
find their existing cause in that part of
the physical organization known as the
emotional center These diseases can
not be reached by ordinary means. but
must be addressed through mental i'm.
pressions and suggestions. This, Mr..
Gage intimated, was the source Of
trouble with the social state, and he
continued:
lit is unwise to be blind to the dan
gers in such a situation. Hysteria,
though functional in its operation, may
induce organic disease. Men Of steady
minds and strong hearts must, with
temperance and charity in the exercis j.,
of right reason, find the true path
which leads to peace and safety. There
are real mistakes to be corrected. We
havh violated the natural laws which
govern in the realm of economics with
the same force and power that they do
in the phys. cal realm"

for to the $4,000 shown to be idle by the

are at work This is particularly true
of men engaged in the building trades.

it ended in row. Two young ladies
who were in the congregation took his

they left the church, and, going to
their homes, secured riding whips, re-
