WOLVES INCREASING.
Montana Ranehmen Complain of the
Denredatious of the Animals


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 (Mont.)
Press. Advices from all sections OF the
range country report that gray wolves
are as numerous and destructive as ever.
Range riders are witnesses to the fact
that the latest and strongest steers
are frequently overcome by these fero-
cious beasts. while the weak and infrm
surrender 70 their attacks almost with
out q struggle. The live stock loss OF
Montana from this source cannot be
calculated, but from the nature OF the
case il must be tremendous. Profes-
sional hunters state that the gray wolf
Is an exceptionally difficult animal 10
eircumyent. His cunning is remark
able and his suspicious nature causes
him 70 avoid any locality which his
keen senses notify him has been invaded

In the power Of the hunter. He avoids
poisoned bats and dead carcasses; he is
essentially beast OF prey. preferring
fresh meat al al times, and when the
pangs OF hunger are felt be starts out
to find something with warm blood in il.
For these reasons wolf hunting is an
exceptionally slow and precarous occu-
patton; trapping. chasing and shooting
are practically the only methods that
produce results. and attractive induce
ments are necessary to encourage hunt

Tedious Work of Old Bookmakers.
During the twelfth ard thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro-
uuced the Bible in illuminated manu-
script. The work was necessarily slow
and in no instance was it accomplished
in less than IS years. Guido de Jars
was a producer of the Illuminated man
uscripts and a beautiful specimen of
his work was sold along with the books
Of Sir ". Burrell in 1870. This copy of
the Bible had occupied half century
II its production. 4 note IN the begin
mig OF the manuscript in Jars hand
writing indicates that he began his task
in 1874 and did not conclude it tin 1894.

THE COLoRED BROTHER.
No, a Good Tenant for the Southern
Landlord.

The typical negro tenant arrives at
new home in a mule wagon or OK cart
with bundle Of rags, a frying pan and
a coyey of children, and he stays with
landlord who may have saved him from
restitution by advancing provisions and
dry goods only so long as the caprice Of
the hour dictates. says Lippincott's
Land owners who have sunk into finan-
cial ruin by mortgaging their property
have nearly always been dragged into
the slough by the effort to help their
negroes out oft. The crop made by the
average negro farmer is subject 10 many
contingencies besides those Of the
weather. Pc does not hesitate to leave
his field at the most critical season If
pleasure calls him: big meetings" he
never can resist and these take place
during the important agricultural
months OF July and August, first at one
church and then at another. After the
mules have been working hard all the
week in this busy season they are often
driven ten 10 fifteen miles on Sundays,
carrying wagonloads OF men, women
and children. long bright ribbons fly
ing out from the heads of the female
members OF the family. whose hair has
been tightly plated and bound with
cords during the week in order TO pro
