minister Bicycle Sunday School is in a
flourishing condition, usually holding three
sessions per Sunday, morning, afternoon and
night. The membership seems to be in
crcasing, and you can see the lads and lasses
trooping up and down Pennsylvania avenue,
in a variety of styles, some sitting straight
some moderately bent, and others with their
noses very near the handle. You can dis.
tinguish the new members by their wobbling
serpentine course. 1t is good time to zee

The Wolf Bounty Law.

For the killing Of each grey or
'.butfalo" wolf or prairie wolf the
state of North Dakota will pay 90.
Sec. 2. ANY person killing any Of
the aforesaid animals to obtain the
bounty thereon shall within ninety
days from the date of the killing *
hibit, or cause to be exhibited, the
skin of said animals, including the
tail and skin from the forehead, en-
braciIg both ears, to the county au-
ditor In said county In which said
animal or animals We're kills |, AMI
shall ut the same time file with the
auditor an affidavit setting forth that
he killed or c.usel to be killed,
the animal or animals, from which
the skin or skins were taken; chat the
same were killed within the bounds
of the county to whose auditor the
same are presented; and the county
auditor shall. before issuing the GER
tiicate thereafter provided for, re-
1uire statement of two resident tax
payers of the county that they are &C.
quainted with the person presenting
skin or skins, and that to the best OF

The county auditor gives a written
| order for wolf skins on the state au.
ditor, who in turn gives a warrant to
the holder on the state fund created
for this purpose.
AS the county auditors have had nc
instructions it is not likely that they

issue wolf bounty certificates, but un'
der the provisions Of the law the
skins can be held for 80 days.
