Earth affords no more horrible tale
than would the history Of Death Val
ley, the great arid desert this side of
The mountains Of southern California.
The latest tragedy is only one of
hundreds.
James Dayton, caretaker for
borax company's property in the val
ley, $50 miles from the nearest rail-
way station, set out for home with a
team OF six mules. Two weeks later,
having failed to reach his destination,
search party found him lying dead
under mesquit bush. Fifty feet
away his wagon stood, with the dead
mules lying about in such condition
as to indicate the terrible torture
they had undergone. In the wagon
were barrels of water and bales of
hay. which would have saved them
had they been able to reach it. The
bodies of man and beasts were intact
when found, neither coyote nor buz
zard nor other living creatures daring
to enter the confines of the heat
parched valley in the height of sum-
mer.
The only living thing at the scene
of death and desolation was Dayton's
faithful dog, which for twenty days
had watched by the side of his dead
master in the desert. The dog man
aged to survive. probably by getting
water from an old borax camp known
as Eagle Camp, half mile distant
White Pine News.

CLEVER SIAMESE GIRLS.
These Trained I'm Dancing Can Pick
Up Straws with Their Eyelids.

The dancing girls Of Siam are re-
markable for the agility and grace of
their movements. The cup dance is the
prettiest ard most poetic Of ALL A row
Of young girls, with a tier of cups on
their heads, take their places in the
middle of the great hall. A burst of
joyous music follows. On hearing this
they simultaneously, with military pre-
cision. kIeel down, fold their hands ard
bow their heads until their foreheads
almost touch the polished marble floor.
keeping thecuPs steadily on their heads
by some marvellous jerk Of the neck.
Then, suddenly springing to their feet,
they describe a succession Of rapid AID
intricate circles, keeping time TO the
music with their arms, head and feet.
Next the music swells into a rapturoEs
tumult. The dancers raise their delicate
feet, curve their arms and fingers in
almost impossible fexures, sway TO and
fro like withes Of willow, agitate all the
muscles of the body like the fiutter of
leaves in the soft evening breeze, but
still keep the cups on their heads.
The dancing girls Of Bangkok are al
ways exercising in the royal GYM
nasium. Their ages vary from five to
twenty years. The curious and subtle
feat of picking up bit of straw with
the eyelids can be learned only by the
youngest of them, who are made to
practice it in order to render them
flexible in every part of the body. There
are Two long rows of benches, one 1T
tie higher than the other On the
lower is & row of little girls and on the
upper bench are laid the polished bits

Of straw, which, with wonderful dcx-
terity, they secure between the corners
of their eyelids.-London Modern So

TEN THOUSAND DEAD WOLVES.
a Heavy Drain on North Dskota's
Treasur... Cn.1sad h.. IsnuI..z. LIZ.

\ Heavy Drain on North Dakota's
Treasury Caused by bounty Law.
The last legislature appropriated S12,-
COO to carry out the provisions of a wolf
bounty law that gave three dollars for
each wolf slain in any part Of North Da-
kota, and expected the money to last
through full biennial period till the
next session. Now it has been shown
tia. the appropriation for the two years
will be oyerdrawn hy at least $1,000 in
the first few months Of the first season.
At least 10000 wolves of the large gray
variety have been killed by hunters
and trappers who have made business
of the mater this season.
The wolf bounty law was passed at
the earnest request of stockmen in all
parts of the state, whose losses from the
ravages of the gray wolves have been
exceptionally large and were continual
~ increasing. The majority of the Ger
tificates come from the western part Of
the state, and tie next greatest number
from the northern tier of COZ ties. Bill
lings county, Que of the largest stock
counties of the state, will have thou
sand or more certificates. Billings also
pays q county bounty, which is draw
ing heavily on her resources. There are
thousand certificates out in Williams
county, and.one man has nearly 300. He
is said TO be the champion wolf hunter
of the state.
The favorite method of killing wolves
is with dogs. Poisoning was the former
method. Shooting is a surer mefbod
but it is difficult 10 get close enough to
a wolf to secure a good shot. With dogs,
wolf seen is as good as captured if the
dogs are good, and many of them are
| being bred for that Durpose.
