not be prevented. A long legged North Carolina mountaineer named Moss and I occupied a cabin on the sum- init of hill, and near by was the cor ral At the foot of the hill ran a creek which was frozen solid in winter. We kept holes chopped in the ice to furnish water for our own use. 1 take credit for inventing the follow ing method of wolf's slaughter:
 When a sheep died it was skinned to save the pelt. In the hideless car cass I would make a dozen slits with the knife and in these Sits I inserted cornucopias made of paper, each of them holding three grains of strychnia In twelve hours the poison would pene- trate every particle of the animal It was carried with gloved hands to a place about 300 yards from the corral There rope was tied to it, and the other end of the rope was tied to the pommel of a saddle. In this way the sheep was dragged in a three-mile cir cult, the journey ending where it be- gan.
 That night Moss and I, sitting in front of the roaring blaze in the mud fireplace of the little cabin, would hear the wolf pack open on the trail. Round they would swing in the darkness, each one of them giving tongue like bea- gle I would look at Moss and Moss would look at me, and we would smile. The pack, because the trail was fresh and strong, would make the three mile run in a little more than ten minutes. Then it would fall to snap ping and growing and tearing at the dead flesh. within plain hearing. The next morning we would find from one to four dead wolves at our water hole''

A TALK WITH GILBERT

Last week I had the pleasure-and l may add, the honor-of being taken i in to dinner by the author of Bab Bal lads. My home is one of the many thousands where the name of w. s. Gilbert is household word. and I naturally looked forward with much interest and some trepidation to the coming conversation. I had heard conflicting opinions of his character some acqualntanceS averring that he was a confirmed woman hater and a difficult man to deal with, while friends asserted that he was a perfect dear one of the best fellows on earth.
 Being worshipper at his shrine. l wanted to open the conversation by observing that he was the most re- markable man in England, but I kent this until the entree appeared. only venturing to say (with the fish) that l was afraid of him, because I heard that he hated and despised all women. He looked quite grieved, and said: T hate and despise women, It's abso- lutely false! Why, if it hadn't been for woman shouldn't be here now!" This broke the ice, and from entree to dessert the conversation was almost constant, and very animated MT. Gil- bert is large man, in age somewhere between 50 and 60, with fresh ruddy face, and hair almost white He has habit of looking straight in front of him as he talks, and not at his inter locutor, though sometimes he turns his quick dark eyes upon one It was interesting to be told that he prefers The YeOman of the Guard" to his other works, because the story has in terest and continuity and is not much hindered by the music. He has a mimic stage at home, on which are small blocks of wood representing the actors and actresses women painted white, the men black.

 "Humphi" said Gilbert. ''He must be disappointed sometimes when they get changed around
 When the author goes to rehearsal he knows by the help of these little blocks exactly where each performer is to stand Any one who has seen his operas must appreciate his won derful mastery of stagecraft. When I at last ventured to tell Mir Gilbert how very wonderful he was, 1 he said, quite simply: "I've done mo-
 
 he is never satisfied with himself" We then spoke of certain well known individuals who are not gen. fuses, but who have the comfort of be- lieving they are.

DAKOTA'S BRAND LAW.

The intent of the new brand law passed is to systematiZe the use of the various brands on cattle now roam ing the ranges of South Dakota as will reduce the possibility of a loss to a minimum. Prior to the passing of this law persons in various portions of the state were using the same brands that could be very easily changed and this condition gave rise to much confu- sion and loss each year. As an in stance of this, in conversation with a representative of the Sioux City Times, Frank M Stewart, secretary of the Western South Dakota Stock raisers' association, says that one man was carrying the brand Il which could be changed to about fifty different brands which were recorded in diff ferent parts of the state; still another singular instance was the " brand, which by actual test could be changed into 100 different brands and still defy detection. Each succeeding year as herds and brands became more nu- merous, rustlers mutilated brands in proportion and became more hold, their work defying detection. This state of affairs called for the present enactment of the brand law, and when the commission succeeds in systen1a- tizing the use of brands throughout the state cattlemen generally feel that it will be one of the most beneficial
 laws now on the statute books. The law provides that the commission shall
 meet twice year. but MT. Stewart says it will met again in April, just be-
 fore the spring roundup SO as to ~'--
 those who have not yet registered
