Tnmmy'n ArbOr-Day Speeoh.

Miss Smith had invited all the peo-
Pile in the neighborhood to attend the
Arbor day exercises, writes M. E. S. in
Youths Companion. She had said to
the children:
We will plant good trees, and II
we take good care Of them, We cen
make this bare schOolyard so beautiful
that in four or five years it will seem
like a different place.
"And just think how pleasant it will
be for the children who will go to
school here ten years from now she
added, "or twenty years-or thirty"
With this idea In mind the children
had worked with will, and when Ar
Dor day came the holes were all dug,
and rich earth had been brought to fill
in around the roots. At 2: 80 each pu-
pill was in his place, ready with the
song or speech or recitation which he
was to give before planting his tree.
Miss Smith led the visitors from
place to place, and everything went on
just as Hau peeA diiuh6eu llll tHey
came to little Tommy West
When Miss Smith saw his excited
face and the trembling OF the hand
that held the pine tree, she was sure
he had forgotten his verses, and she
was just about to prompt him when he
started out on his own hook:
This is pine tree he gasped,
clutching at 1t as il for support And
and hope it will grow up into for
est and-.and be comfort to my an
cestors!"

THE BLACK WOLF.
1ts Mean Traits-Diffsrent Ways in Which
Hunters Catch Them

Its Mean Trn,ts-DiHsren Ways in Which
Hunters Catch Them.
Some little readers have probably
heard about the small boy who thought
It rare fun to Brighten his friends by
crying Wolf! Wolff" as though he
were being pursued. They lived in
wild part of the country where wolves
were frequently seen, but in time they
grew used to Johnnie's little Joke, 80
that one day when he cried Wolf!
Wolff" in frantic tones they paid no
attention to him. Alas! that day a
wolf really did sneak out Of the woods
"a hungry wolf-ard poor little John
ME furnished him a very satisfactory
meal. There is a deep meaning at
tached to this fable, which you had
best ask your mother to explain.
Well, the Black Wolf, Is fierce look
ing fellow indeed. We have heard SO
many stories about wolves attacking
travellers and their horses that we
have thought them full Of ferocity and
courage, when in fact they are the
most cowardly Of all our animals. I'm
less pressed by extreme hunger they
never attack animals larger than them
selves, and then only in packs. A cur
dog, as a rule, can drive the largest
wolf on the plains. Lean, gaunt, and
hungry looking, they are the essence
Of meanness and treachCry. Their
long, bushy tails are carried straight
out behind, but when the animal is
frightened, he puts his tail between his
legs just like the common dog.
There are men who make it a bust
ness to go wolf hunting in order to Sc
cure their "pelts," or hides. The bait
they use is the carcass of some animal,
elk, deer, or coon, which they impreg-
nate with poison, and leave in place
which will do the most good. In the
morning sometimes as many as fifty
dead wolves will be found scattered
about the carcass whose flesh they had
so ravenously devoured A wolf skin
is worth about one dollar and a half,
so that it pays a hunter very well to
catch a number OF these mean ami
mails.
They are sometimes hunted on horse
back with hounds, but they can run
with such speed when frightened, that
no ordinary dog can keep up with
them. Among the pack are one or
more greyhounds, who bring the wolf
to bay and allow the other dogs to
come up
