Less than sixty days remain Of the
current fiscal year Of the Government
business Of the United States. From the
evidences at hand 1t Is plain that This
fiscal year will be n Of the most I'm
portant in the history Of the Govern
ment, Notwithstanding the fact that a
portion of the time was covered by con-
ditions of war existing between our
country and Spain. It Is a marvellous
testimonial to the powers Of the Ameri-
a people in their trade and Industrial
pursuits that they have been able to
carry on a war with a foreign foe, pay
all the expenses incident to that Wi,
and not only maintain q treasury over
flowing with gold, but at the same time
afford conditions in our domestic rela-
tons under which there has been a
marvellous increase ut home and In
foreign trade. Evidence is being pro
duced by the daily reports Of the news
papers and the commercial agencies
going to show how handsomely indus
trial conditions are improving, wages
advancing and trade and commerce
among our own people returning to the
high standard which was set under the
Mckinley protective tariff law of 1890.
Unless all signs fail, the trade and
business results Of the current wear
will far surpass those Of the banner
year 1892, and this result in the face of
conditions of war.

CAT N COYOTE.
Meet and right Il Out ON the Omen
Prairie.

NAT
A Boise gentleman passing over the
sage-brush plains near Meridian the
other day was treated to an exhibition
that was us strange as 1t was interest
Ing. 1t was a battle between a cat aud
q coyote. l was early morning, and
plainly the nights providing over the
prairie had netted the coyote nothing
In the way Of u good, square feed.
When first seen he was stealthily glid-
ing about, his nose to the ground,
searching, as they always are, for
something to appease his Unsuitable ap-
petite. He stopped and was surveying
the surroundings from n slight knoll,
when there appeared ON the scene q
great toincat, a burly fellow, who also
seemed on u quest for breakfast-some
toothsome morsel, as n c%ottontail or a
young grouse. When Tom hove in
sight the coyote smiled a satisfied
smile. All things come to the patient,
he must have thought, and he at once
prepared to take unto his inner self the
bounties that nature provided. Tom
had not ut first seen the coyote; in fact,

til the first charge, when the coyote
sprang at him. But, quick us a flash,
he PARTED the first thrust aud then
squared for action. With back up and
fur on end, the cat stood his ground for
the second onslaught. Rufian like, the
coyote plunged into the battle, intent
on bearing down his antagonist with

saved the day for Tom. This time Tom
got in a left swinging blow on the coy
ote's jaw, letting first blood, then jab-
bed with the right, bringing the coyote
to a stand. The coyote went to his cor
ner under a sagebrush bleeding. In the
second round the coyote sprang into the
fight much as in the first, md with
about the same result to him. The cat
uppercut him as he rushed in, then,
swinging, mauled him with left and
right, until the mir was full of brown
gray hair. The round was furious
throughout, with honors clearly for
Tom. The coyote might have been
counted out If the gophers that watch-
ed the bout had counted. He deliberat-
ed long before coming in for the third
round, but his appetite ruled his mind,
and to the scratch he came, slowly this
time. Tom was ready, and rushed the
fight. He crowded the coyote and
backed him w the knoll, planting a
left or right whenever and wherever he
pleased. Finally, after much sparring,
Tom got in the deadly Knockout blow.
The fight was his, but he took no mean
advantage. When the coyote was down
he stood over him, giving him more
than the limit of time for him to come
up, but 'canis latronis' lad enough.
He sunk away to his sagebrush, and
"felisdomestica," his back still up, with
his head over his shoulder, to see that
he was not made the victim of treacll-
cry, sided off to continue his hunt for
a nice young cottontail.-Boise States.

ROYAL READERS
And the Great Men Who Delight in
French Literature.

eANN AS0 = AO AStlX1E In
french Literature.
Emperor William Of Germany is fond
Of romance, and reads to the Empress
all the new productions in that line.
His favorite book Is the "Maitre de
Forges," which he delights to read
aloud in the original, his well-known
vanity leading him to display his flu
ency in that language, of which he has
an excellent command, even to a knowl-
edge Of the most minute shades of
meaning expressed by the French yo-
cabulary.
The Car Of Russia also has a pcncll-
ant for French literature, OH which lie
is able to discourse well.
Most Of the sovereigns of Europe
have some knowledge of French litcla-
ture. The Car, at the time of his visit
to the Academy, told Francois Coppce
that he had learned French from his
works. The Prince of Wales read all
the works of Dumas fills and likes to
speak of them. The Queen of Italy
has q weakness for Lamartine. Queen
Elizabeth Of ROumania and the Queen
Regent Of Spain prefer Pierre Lott.
Everybody knows that the late EN-
press Of. Austria worshiped Henri
Heine. 1t has often been said that her
fondness for him came from the fact
that Of oil the Germans the author of
the "~Intermezzo" was the one who was
the greatest admirer of France.

Louis Napoleon. OF the French Presi-
dents Faure was probably the best in

Franco-Prussian war. Carnot had a
