The Coy Coyote.


speaking about smart animals, "
said the real estate man, II want
to 20 on record as saying that there is
NO animal that can hold candle to
the coyote for smoothness. When !!
first won't out to western Kansas l had
an ambition to kill enough coyotes to
make laprobe to send back to my
friends in the east. I tramped all
over that country with gun, but l
never could get nearer than within
mile of coyote. 1 used to drive
out in my buggy, and hide the gun un-
der the seat, but it didn't make any
difference; not coyote ever got near
enough so that he could have been
reached with anything short of long
range cannon. One day started out
in hurry and forgot my gun. / had
not gone mile from town until l ran
onto a group of four coyotes. The
critters didn't even take the trouble
to lope off out of sight. They just
walked off two or three rods from the
road, and sat down on their hunkers,
and looked at me and yawned. II
made me hot to see their internal i'm
pudence, and I made dive as if
were going to get the gun out from
under the seat. / thought sure
would scare them away. Well, maybe
you wouldn't believe it, but those
cussed coyotes never moved. They
| Just sat up there and actually grinned
They said just as plain as if they had
used the words: %, you needn't try
to run any bluff on us; we are strict!

hadn't got that gun / don't know, bu

the sense of . coyote ever since. ~

concerning the foreign miners:
The first purchase made by Slovak

buys a silver watch, and after that is
secured he begins to save money. If
kae Slovak or Polack is particularly
thrifty, he postpones purchasing a re-
volver for several months and carries

George Latham of Upshur county,
West Virginia, at work in Q lumber
yard, heard dogs running in the woods
near by the other day and then saw q
fine buck coming full speed up the
valley. 1t passed near him. but soon
was brought to bay by two shepherd
dogs.
A farmer named Baker. who had
joined in the chase, came up to it,
when it reared up on its hind feet and
attacked him. By this time Latham
appeared on the scene, and as Baker
ran to get out Of the way, Latham
tried to catch it by the legs. Ht

The life of fire engine in this city
in its first use is ten years. tits then
rebuilt, and is good either in regular
service or as q reserve engine, for ten
years more. After twenty years of
service the old engine is sold at auc-
ton.
It may be bought by another city or
town for use as q fire engine, but this
happens very rarely. The engines are
heavy, and they must be drawn by
horses, so they are not adapted for
use in smaller cities. The old engine
is oftener bought by contractor for
use, for instance in pumping out eel
lars. In such service steam pres
sure of fifty pounds might be ample
for the work, while in fire service q
pressure of $50 pounds might be re-
auired. In such work rs this the old
engine might last three or four years
more.
Sometimes the discarded fire depart.

or. who breaks it up for the metals il
contains, and this is what they oil
come to at last. New York Sun.

Gallantry Of Hungry English Soldiers.
In our review of Prince Kraft zu
Hohenlohe's Letters on Strategy"
recently, Marahal Raditsky's opinion
that "a hungry soldier has no cour.
age" is quoted. A war correspondent
writes to us: 1.-THE tough old marshal
probably meant an ill-fed soldier.
Hungry and thirsty men have given
many splendid examples of courage,
but none more remarkable, perhaps,
than in that retreat from Cabul, when
exposed for six days and five nights
in the snow, without cover or fire.

dured every hardship wish the resolu

BEAR ON A coWcATcHER.
Stayed There on . Ton-Mile Run AMI
Was Shot.

Stayed There on . Ton-Mtle Run ana
Was Shot.
Not long ago as train was passing
through Wilder's Cut, near Olcut
Run, Penn, the engineer was aston
ished to see black bear coming around
a sharp curve. The cut is SO narrow
that there is hardly room for man to
stand aside and allow an engine to
pass without striking him. Bruin
was more amazed than the engineer.
Instead of stepping aside, he reared
on his launches and awaited events.
The locomotive was running less than
twenty miles an hour, for the place is
a dangerous one. Upon seeing the
bear the engineer shut off steam, and
applied the brakes, but the distance
was too short to escape an accident
The cowcatcher slid under the hind
legs of the brute, and lifted him of
the ground.
Thinking all trouble was over, the
engineer put on steam once more,
while the fireman climbed out Of the
cab window, and stole along the guard
rail to find out what had become of the
bear. He was there, clssping the cow
catcher, the lower part of his body
lust grazing the ground, and his head
almost reaching the bottom of the
headlight. He seemed to understand
that the only thing he could do was to
hold fast, and he did 30 during the
nextfun to the station, ten miles dis
tant. The station agent was standing
at the depot door as the train APP
preached. The sight of q full grown
bear on the cowcatcher fairly took
away his breath.
As soon ~ the engine came to a
standstill Bruin slipped from his perch,
and made break for freedom. This
took him straight toward the agent,
who dashed through the door, slammed
it shut, leaped through the rear door,
aad went up the street at . furious
rate, calling out: ''Bearl Bear! Some
body get gunl"
| Soon the town was in Q turmoil, [
yelling crowd following in hot pursui
of the bear, some of the boys peltint
him with stones. Suddenly q BIZ
shepherd dog bounced ont Of yard
and dashed after the bear. Bruil
paused but . minute or two, but whel
| he passed on, the rash dog had no fu
ture interest in the proceedings.
4 At the street corner q lawyer carry
ing . double barreled gun came fac
, to face with the bear, but the latte
turned down the nearest alley. Tn
crowd increased, and encircled tn
!. frightened animal, making escape i'm
possible. Finding himself at bay
Bruin backed up agains. barn, real
