According to the Washington Star.
one morning recently the representa-
tive came into his Office with a smiling
cold in his head and the first letter he
dictated was to his wife at home-a
delight, by the way, he INDUCED in
every day, whatever may be said OF
congressman in general-in which he
told her that owing to the fact that
he had slept the night before In a
draught and the wind had blown
through his pajamas he had caught a
pretty severe cold. The word "paja-
mas" was new one for the typewriter
and he stalled at 1t.

SOARING WOLVES BY YELLING
The Young Mans Fierce YeIIs Were
Effective,


Effective.
While on his way to Craig and when
about ten miles from town John W.
Lowell. Jr., had an unpleasant expert
ence with three gray wolves which
ought to be sufficient for one day. SAYS
the Craig, Colo, Courier.
Mr.. Lowell noticed the wolves in the
distance, but paid no attention to them
until after he had travelled about a
mile, when his horse became uneasy.
Looking back Mr.. Lowell beheld a
sight which. as he says, caused mis- hat
to raise not trifie-three large gray
wolves about 200 yards distant were
charging after him at a speed which
would soon bring them up with him.
There was not moment to spare, and
the young man hardly knew what to
do. He was unarmed, and the snow
was SO deep that 1t was impossible Cor
his horse to run from the ferocious
beasts with any degree of success.
Mr.. Lowell quickly decided that he
had but one chance, and that was to
attempt to bluff. Wheeling his horse
around, facing the wolves, he applied
the quirt, and at every jump of his
steed he let forth yell that would
have put any Comanche to shame. For
moment the bluff seemed failure,
for the wolves continued to approach
and the distance between the horse
man and the shaggy creatures lessened
to about SO yards when the turn In af-
fairs occurred.
Finally, after few more plunges in
the snow by the horse and numerous
yells from the thoroughly frightened
young man the wolves suddenly turned
and ran in an opposite direction.
Mr.. Lowell followed his lead with
renewed vigor and more whoops, and
If any one in the lower country should
see three badly scared wolves running
westward 1t may be depended upon that
they are the identical ones which
threatened the safety of the. son of our
state auditor.
