boldly seated himself in an empty
chair next the throne.
The courtiers were as much surprised
at his audacity as they were amazed at
his grotesque appearance; but the Lom-

story about one of his patients, a
small boy, who for long time resolute-

five cents if he would take it, The

COYOTES ARE CLEVER.
How One of Them Drew a Hunting Dog

HOW one or Ihem Drew Hunting Dog
Into an Ambush.
No cutter animal is found in the west
than the coyote. The coyote is to the
plainsInan what fox is to an eastern
farmer, only the coyote is more in evil
dence. Forest and Stream tells about a
dog that had its principal sport chasing
and otherwise worrying coyotes, and
WAS led into ambush by one coyote and
then set upon by several other

death.
About nine o'clock one night" the pa
per says, "one of the coyotes came to the
Kitchen door and howled aggravatingly
at the dog, which, thereupOn set after
the coyote full tilt. The coyote fled
around the house, down to the corral
and around the blacksmith shanty, the
dog yelping after. Behind the shanty
were other coyotes, six or seven of them,
and all of them made for the dog in a
way that made it feel lonely. The
ranchman heard the fight and the dogs
howls of pain; and grasping rifle
started that way on a run, yelling as
he went. The coyotes each took fare
well nip and fled leaving a sore dog be
hind. Since then the dog has not been
so much interested as on former occa-
sions in coyotes. Ii follows single
coyotes vigorously. but the appearance
of another sends it back as fast as it

coyote likes badger flesh very
but one coyote is not equal to "A

coyote, when it meets a badger has to
resort to stratagem till aid arrives. The
manner in which it does this, according
to the spOrtsman's paper,is interesting.
a few weeks ago the writer says.
''as | was riding along saw a coyote and
badger. The coyote seemed to be play
ing with the badger. He would 'prance
around it, then run off little way, the
badger following, evidently very angry.
Wfer the badger saw me it ran into its
hole, while the coyote went off 40 or so
yards and lay down, evidently knowing
i had no gun with me. The coyotes
device was evidently to tease, and so
keep the badger interested till another
coyote happened along, when the
badger would have been killed"
