WOLVES INCREASING.

Depredations OF the AAiaaIs.
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, says the Benton River MONTY
Press. Advices from NIL sections of the
range country report that gruy wolves
are as numerous and destructive as ever.
Range riders are witnesses to the fact
that the latest and strongest steers
arc frequently overcome by these Zero
cious beasts, while the weak and infirm
surrender to their attacks almost with
out struggle. The live stock loss of
Montana from this source cannot be
calculated, but from the nature of the
case it must be tremendous. Profess
sional hunters state that the gray wolf
is an exceptionally difficult animal to
circumvent. His cunning is remark
able 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 gre
garious animal, preferring to roam in
small punches. which prevents such
wholesale killing as could be accom-
plished if large band should fall with
in the power of the hunter. He avoids
poisoned bats and dead carcasses; he is
essentially 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 it.
For these reasons wolf hunting is an
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.

REDUCING THE STAFF.
The New Shah OF Persia Content with
but Sixty Wives.

The New Shah OF Persia Content with
but Sixty Wives.
The new shah of Persia has been re-
ducing what the Figaro calls "the fem
mime staff of the palace" at Teheran.
He has kept only 60 wives, and finds the
total sufficient for dignity and within
the limits of a wise economy, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. The family tree of 60
wives has at present put forth branches
-twenty-thrce daughters and four
sons; and here we have the usual in
equality Of the sexes, always at it's
worst when polygamy exists. Whether
Muzaffer-ed-Din is happy though mar
ried, and much married, the record does
not state, but things seem to show that
polygamy is on the decline in the Per-
sian court. The last shah, in spite of
his prediction for western habits, was
as lord of the harem an eastern in heart
and soul. He had in the seraglio al
Teheran the. magnificent total of 1920
wives, who now are widows. In the
new American Bible of the women n
passage is denounced with special bit
terness by the feminists of the dny.
1t is the one in Genesis where men are
called the sons Of God and women are
the daughters of men. In the case of
the late shah, one son of the Divine was
maintaining 1,720 daughters of the
earthly. Surely this was conscien-
tious effort to make up in quantity
what was wanting in quality.

CONSTANTLY SHIFTING.

many OF our valued republican con
temporaries are deriving considerable
fun FROM the change in tariff theories
now alleged to be going ON in the
do nocrGtic party. They seem to for
get that within the last few years a
change, aim ost revolutionary. ON the
same question took place in the re-
pu lean party
When the Mckinley bill passed both
houses OF congress and received the
signature OF the President all repub-
Leans in the land whooped with glee
and sung che praise Of William Nc
Kinley until they were hoarse. With
a tax on everything used by human
being from the time he was laid In
the crib until he was lowered into six
feet of earth the republicans glorified
and saw the millennium sticking
above the horizon.
That was in 1890. Two years later
the democrats mopped the earth with
the republican party. 1t required
several days Of shovellnR to get the
snow off it's prostrate. frozen remains.
And no sooner did the republican
heads appear above the drifts than
their mouths opened in denunciation of
William Mckinley and his law. There
was not a republican from the Moose
head lake to the Cliff rocks who
wonld not take oath that his
party was defeated by the Mckinley
law and that William Mckinley was
as dead, politically, as a mackerel.
This country, the republicans de-
clared. no longer needed a high pro-
tective tariff; our industries were no
longer infantile to be nursed on the
bottle OF protection; protection. in
deed, was an issue which would no
longer separate the republican and
democratic parties.
That was in 1892 and 1893. Then

sentaton OF this noble, vigorous Chris
tian Endeavor society and thus repre-
sontatves of our beloved church.
The times of refreshing" with which
God has most Rraciously visited this
church, and as indicated I'm the state
ment that of the 7l9 who have been add
ed to the church within this pastorate
ij9 were by confession admitted. can be
most distinctly traced to and connected
with the growth here OF the missionary
interest, not foreign missionary inter
est alone. that would he short-sighted.
not home missionary solely, that would
be to fail of the long vision" that takes
in its circle the world which God so
loved that He gave His Son; but the
broader spirit which gives scope to both
home ana foreign.
l wish there were time TO refer
to the relation of this church to
and the work done by it in the
noble Union Christian organization in
this city and state. 1t would be an
interesting part of the ten-year history
to note how many of the members of
this church have most effectively iden-
tilted themselves with and in some cases
led these noble Christian enterprises.
Like the Young Women's Christian as
sociaton, on its city and state commit
tees, and Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, Rescue mission, Florence mis-
sion, Home for the Friendess hospital,
oral School. etc.
Dear friends, in the progress of this
history of the pastorate for ten years,
you have detected, I have no doubt, from
point to point refrain, | cannot say
of sadness. but where, as friend after
friend, has departed from us, and the
pearly gates swung back to give them
entrance, we caught the swell of heaven
ly harmonies, and held our hearts still
in what might have been a wall of sor-
row, but for their joy in their abundant
entrance.
But how we miss them today May
we not hope that they are permitted to
look down upon us and to praise with
us? | have profound conviction that
among the influences that have helped
to bless us and make these seasons Of
worship foretastcs of heaven none are
richer, more fruitful or more potential
under God, than the continued loving
| interest in, and Scripture desires for the
| largest. noblest life of this church to the
| glory of God which they cherish for us.
| who, as our sainted dead, represent us
| in the court of heaven,
