Hunting Wolves.

The gray wolf is not much taller than
a setter dog. He is longer and heavier
sort of combination of wire and raw
hide, which never tires and can cover
ground with great rapidly. A man
not long ago started two wolf hounds
after six hungry wolves of this type.
The dogs overlook the wolves with I'M
expected ease, and then the wolves ate
the dogs, evidently thankful that sup
ply train had followed them.
A year ago man who believes in
poisoning wolves, dragged a fresh beef
hide thirty-one miles, throwing out
bait of poisoned meat. Next day, on
his return over the line, he found TWEEN
ty-eight wolves and coyotes dead, while
others, no doubt, had wandered away
sick to some hole or other and died.
A very effective trap is made of a
gang of fish-hooks baited with meat.
The hooks are hung on wires and fas-
tened to branches The animals come
along, smell the bait, and getting on
their hind legs, succeed in reaching it.
The bending of the branch prevents the
hooks from being torn out. 1t makes
it decidedly interesting when panther
gets hold of hook instead of wolf.

trate to a tall, angular prisoner.
But l obeyed the teachings of the
Bible" pleaded the prisoner
81 don't think you did, replied the
Court, "for you were drunk"
please hand me that Bible, officer
said McNulty, with a twinkle in his
eye. The Bible which is used in ad-
ministering oaths was given him. The
magistrate watched with interest.
With great rapidity McNulty turned
to Proverbs and read the sixth and
seventh verses of the thirty-first chap
ter, as follows: Give strong drink
unto him that is ready to perish, and
wine unto those that are heavy of
heart
LET him drink and forget his pow
erty, and remember his misery no
more" Then the prisoner laid down
the book with an air of triumph.
Discharged, was the brief comment
of the Court. McNulty murmured his
thanks and walked out. He said later
that he had been educated in theolog-
zeal seminary, but drink had ruined
him.

" My Friend from India"

Speaking of this play an exchange says
-" A retired, wealthy pork-packer of Kan
sas settles in New Y ork and makes a three
years attempt to get into society. Finally,
his son after nights outing arrives home
with a stranger, who sleeps with him.
How to explain the strangers presence is
poser. He is wrapped in yellow robe
and introduced to the old man as theos-
ophist, and, as the son puts it. My Friend
from India Here is a fad with which to
reach society and the old man seizes
1t. The accompanying complications are
exceedingly funny, SO funny that the very
large audience last night laughed itself into
soreness. The second act is by all odds
the strongest and it forces strenuous efforts
on the part of the performers in order to
keep up the fun, but they did it last night
to perfection.
The company is good one. Miss Gale
plays a pretty little role, acts well and
looks charming. Mr.. Lackaye plays Eras-
tus Underholt and does it splendidly
George Mack as Keene Shaver is excep-
tionally clever and gave very funny
impersonation of My Friend from India
The ladies are charming. Miss Villa Mac
Leod gave delightful Interpretation OF
what she was called upon to do. Miss
Marie Carlyle has rather trying part in
Mrs. Beekeman Streete but carried herself
through with flying colors, proving one Of
the favorites Of the evening. The Misses
Antoinetie Walker, and Frances Hale as
the two pretty daughters of Underholt
delighted everybody" This company will
be at the opera house Saturday, May 8.

The Cadets Picnic.

A large company gathered in Union hall
last evening to witness the presentation of
the operetta 1.-The Cadets Picnic" All
were highly entertained and we'll pleased
Much credit is due Miss Nettie Wheeler,
who in the face of such odds as mumps and
measles, succeeded in holding her little
company in line and giving them patient
and systematic preparation. The operetta
abeunded in entertaining dialogue and
catchy music SO happily blended that there
was not a dull line.
The principals in the cast, who were as
sisted by some 40 voices in chorus, were
Florence, the village mischief, Ardelle
Carpenter; Charlie, Cora Shedd; Gert'e,
May Prouty; Bessie, Lottie Aldrich
Flora, Lizzie Tidd; captain of cadets,
Archie McKinnon; the three policemen,
who by the way took their parts excellent
ly, were Ben Royce, Perley Huntoon and
Selah Hartman. The "color song" by
Roy Knight and the duet by Herbert
Pierce and Mark Jackson were warmly
applauded.
| The taking feature of the evening wa'
the last number on the program, the dane
ing of the minuet by the following ladies
and gentlemen: Hazel Provost and Pau
Winnewisser, Edna Gibson and Fred Win
newisser, Ulla Winnewisser and Mari
jackson, and Rena Winnewisser and Roy
Knight. At the drop of the curtain thes'
little folks were the recipient of applause
that would have turned the heads of oldel
dancers; they gracefully responded to tn
encore with a repetition of the minuet.
Later in the evening the hall was cleare'
and dancing enjoyed, the music being fur
nished by Weeden's orchestra.

Paine's celery compound.
1t is foolish to take poor health "philo-
sophically" these spring days. There is
no reason why anyone should sit hands in
lap, and submit to headaches, poor appe-
tite, continual tired feeling or constipation.
If every disheartened invalid will 60 right
at getting well by using Paine's celery
compound, that person will be astonished
and delighted with the quickness with
which this wonderful remedy is able to call
halt to wasting disease, diseases of debil-
ity and rundown" condition.
Paine's celery compound does wonders
in making people well.
Here is what woman, an ambitious and
hard working member of the legal profess
sion in New York city, says of this great
remedy:
220 4th Ave, New York.
While student in the New Y ork uni
versity law school and under great pressure
from work and study, l was advised to
take Paine's celery compound / did So,
and its beneficial results to one whose
nerves are under the trial of severe mental
effort, am only too ready to assert. After
taking three bottles | found that it pro-
duced quietness of nerves and induced
sleep, very beneficial to my health. For
those troubled with insomnia | can heartily
recommend it as a harmless inducer Of
its quoting effect on the nerves.
Yours very truly,
