man had gone into the vault in the cellar
with light, and that the vault con-
tanned explosives. The chief added that
he did not know what had become of the

GRAY WOLF OF THE RANGES.

l A Dangerous Foe for Cattle, Sheep and
 Horses-Often Beaten by Equine
 Strategy.
 Lib Vincent, one of Wyoming's old
 time cow-punchers, and now riding or
 the Powder river ranges, says that the ] gray wolves of his section are legion in number and as fearless as they are | ferocious.
 These gray and greedy scourges of
 the Powder river stock areas do their
 raiding in bands ranging in numbers of | from six to thirty, each band being or 1 ganized and disciplined under the lead
 ership of an old dog wolf especially | chosen for his wariness, speed and en- ] durance. To this captain these gauut
 and grizzly marauders yield an impl;c- it and unsWerving obedience-a stat a
 ment well evidenced from the fact that if one of these wolf leaders is slain or | crippled his band at once amalgamates with some other troop possessing a leader of like capacity.
 The age or size of their quarry is of little moment with these woves,as they pull down and devour alike cows, calves, steers, mares colts and geld ings. Their attack is always strategi- band assaulting from the front and fastening on to shoulder, ear or mug gle, and thus giving the big wild gray dogs who are ever closing in from the rear the objective opportunity of ham, stringing the victim. Once hamstrung it is all over with the quarry, and the entire band feasts at leisure, MT. Vim cent has often seen on the Powder .lv- CT ranges the mere empty hide and pcl- ished bones of what was once lusty steer or vigorous geldlng as sad sou venrs of the raid of agr ay wolf band.
 The cattle herds are open and easy prey to the bold canine bandits, the cattle fleeing from the pursuers and thus rendering individual attack easy and successful. The horses, however, with their superior intelligence, very frequently beat off the wolves by form ing on the open ground an equine square, with the mares and colts in the center, the gallant stallions on the cor ners and the best and bravest gelding5 distributed on the outer lines of de- fence. Not only 1o these equlne squares frequently beat off their as- sailants, but they sometimes rout the wild dogs entirely, staying numbers of them by striking, kicking and tram bling.
 This is an especial result when the horse herd has with it a stallion ex- perienced in range life. He can smell a wolf further than he can see him, and at his shrill and warning neigh the herd rushes together and quickly forms the protecting square. The wolves full ly appreciate this fact, and instances have been known of d gray band mum" bering scores of raiders trotting lels- urely around one of these embattlad equine squares and then seeking other and easier prey.
 The gray wolf reaches a weight of 125 pounds, and boasts alike brain, | brawn, a noiseless and tireless foot, a savage ferocity and an unsuitable ap- ! petite It is said of him that he can run onger and easier, eat oftener and f more and display more cunning and in a given length of time than my other known animal.
 He is a prolific breeder eight or tcn

COURTESY IN BUSINESS.

It Helps the Customer the Employer
 and, Most of All, the Salesman or
 Saleswoman.
 Those whose lives lead them into the more sheltered paths will not begrudge these few words to their young sisters who are called every day to patiently help others in shop or work room, or office or factory: we must not forget that all these associations are really whatever gain we desire ourselves, ways of helping the worlds progress and doing good.
 No one can imagine what a delight it IS to find a truly gracious young girl waiting and ready to aid her customer, i whether it is behind a counter, in flt- ting room, in a milliner's shop or wherever else the woman who has a want encounters another who can sup ply it. These people are aided by the ready hand, the sincerely interested mind and the pleasant smile. It makes the customer grateful, the owner of the establishment is enriched and the sweet -mannered young woman makes growth in true womanliness and re- f1nement evry time she exercises pa tience and tact and good taste. and makes tiresome necessity pleasant.
 Yesterday a friend thought she had seriously tried the endurance of a charming young girl, and said
 T have given you so much trouble to-day that I will have to promise not to bother you again for month"
 The young saleswoman, in handing her customer the ribbons which had been so hard to match, said with de- lightful smile:
 Don't stay away month, please"
 The lady who had been sorry to be so particular came away quite in love with her gracious young helper and said:
 T would go long way to have the pleasure of buying anything from that lovely girl"
 Do you see how threefold the benefit was? The shopper, a delicate woman, was made to forget fatigue, the firm won a steady customer and the young salesWoman made a true friend.-From the Ledger Monthly.

THE DANCE OF THE GITANA

The gipsy's dance is full of humor fuller of humor than of passion; pas
 sion indeed 1t mimics on the purely
 animal side, and with a sort of cold ness even in it's frenzy; it is a drama, but a drama improvised on given theme; and it might go on indefinitely, for it is conditioned only by the panto-
 mime which we know to have wide limits. A motion more or less, and 1t becomes obscene or innocent; it is al-
 ways on doubtful verge, and thus gains it's extraordinary fascination.
 held my breath as l watched the gip- sy in the Seville dancing hall; I felt
 myself swaying unconseiously to the rhythm of her body, of her beckoning hands, of the glittering smile that came and went in her eyes. I seemed to be drawn into a shining whirlpool, in which I turned, turned hearing the buzz of the water settling over my head. The guitar buzzed, buzzad, in a prancing rhythm, the gipsy coiled about the floor, in her trailing dress never so much as showing her ankles with a rapidity concentrated upon it.
 self; her hands beckoned, reached out, clutched, clutched delicately, lived to their tips; her body strengthened bent, the knees bent and straightened, the heels beat on the floor, carrying her backward and round; the toes pointed, paused, pointed, and the body dropped or rose into immobility a smiling, sig nificant pause of the whole body. Then the motion began again, more vivid, more restrained, as If leased by some unseen limits, as if turning upon itself in the vain desire of escape, as if caught in its own toils.-Arthur Sy- mons in the Spectator

 Up to six months old the gray wolf pup is awkward and unwieldly, and it is favorite cowboy pastime of the Powder river ranges to locate gray wolf litter on the prairie and shoot the pups from horseback as they skulling- ly roll and tumble from their coverts in the gray and sagebrush.

MACHINES AND OPERATORS.
Some Peculiar Ideas of the Force Of
 Habit-Maehines and Men.

Some Peculiar Ideas of the Force of l Habit-Maehines and Men.
 1 q have reached the conclusion,' said a representative of a manufacturing 1 concern at the St. Charles yesterday, | that machines take on many of the | pecuiarities and mannerisms of the
 men who operate them They seem to | become attached to the operators, and l I have known of many instances where they positively refused to work for strangers. TypeWriters are notoriously cranky. They will sull in minute on stranger, and it will require the skill of an expert to put them in working
 order. It is because they become sen
 sitive to a certain touch, and.aany de-
 parture from the wonted way of hand ling the machine simply meant that
 the machine would clog and the whole thing would get out of gear.
 Telephones display the same pecu-
 liarity in another way, and l have had
 women who work at the exchange tell
 me that they could tell who picked the
 receiver up at a given place by the
 way the bell rang at the exchange.
 Different men have different ways of
 doing things, and these mechanical de-
 vices are quick to record the difference,
 l recall a story told me by a printer
 who had been employed in a newspaper office in Atlanta where linotypes had
 been introduced. One of the older printers had been operating a certain machine for some time, He was a man of many eccentricities, and the men in the composing room had come to believe that the Mergenthaler looked like him, and, in fact, had taken on the peculiarities of his personality. The old man died suddenly.
 Another was given his machine He began to peck away on the key board, but the keys seemed to be a trfle stiff, and if they yielded at all to his touch it was with apparent unwil- lingness. He soon discovered that the machine would not work and reported the matter to the foreman. The ma chinist was called for. He examined the machine and could find nothing out of gear It seemed to be in perfect or der mechanically, and the machinist was greatly puzzled He worked with the machine for some hours without finding anything wrong with the gear ing, and finally abandoned the work for the night The next morning, when the operator tried it again, 1t worked without any sort of trouble, and no of explanation would ever con- vince the men of that office that the had quit working for the night out of respect to the dead opera tor. r.'-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Strange Find in an Old House in Ash
 ford.
 The Hon. F. A. Buck recently pur- chased a farm at Westford, town of Ashford, and found In the house a curious harness, made of wood except a couple of straps and pad on the saddle which are of leather.
 The wood is hickory. The breeding, saddle and harness are pieces of nick Ory shaped to fit the horse and the reins, traces, girths and lold-b back straps are thin strips of the wood fastened together with iron links in stead of buckles. There are only three buckles in all The harness was made by Stephen Chapman, who lived in the house in which 1t was found, and MT Buck remembers that when he was a boy Mir. Chapman drove about, using this homemade harness and riding in a wagon which he made himself. MT Chapman was then an old man and MT Buck thinks the harness must be fully 100 years old.

SUGGESTION FOR THE HAIR.
RATIFICATION OFRAW ONIONS ARE
 BENEFICIAL.
Cold Feet the Worst Enemy-One Who
 

Hair in nine out of ten cases does
 not come outfit comes off"
 Cold feet are one of the greatest , enemies to the hair.
 Raw onions used on the scalp are
 better than any hair tonic. If one dis l likes the odor use carrots; the effect is
 almost as good.
 These statements made by the oldest hairdresser in the United States, a
 man who for thirty five years dressed | the hair of A. T. Stewart every Satur- 1 day night, and who has massased the 1 heads of the old Knickerbocker set in
 New York
 | He is William Dibblee, of 943 West l Twenty first street, and he still dress es the hair of the fifth generation Of some of his aristocratic patrons. Dib- 1 blee was hairdresses to Jenny Lind and the great opera singers who came to New York when buses ran north of Twenty-third street.
 "The reason that hair falls off and does not come back" he explained, 'is this: The scarf skin OF outer layer of skin on the skull becomes diseased, and therefore, dry. It binds tightly the hair, which has it's follocles in the skin lying immediately on the skull and causes it to break and fall off But the hair is still there. Most bald men have plenty of hair but it can grow through the scarf skin. And hair in this respect is like grass. It's got | it won't do we'll.
 And your scalp" he went on, needs to be cultivated. Hoe it up as you would a garden. Rub it up with your finger tips and then use the car rot or the onion."
 When MT. Dihblee begins to talk about his old patrons among the Van derbilts, the Sloans, the Van Horns, the Belmonts, and a good many of the other Knickerbockers he is just as in- teresting. Thirty-fve years ago, when the charity ball was under no circum- stances to be missed by this set, Mir Dibblee was the one proper hairdresses In his little buggy he drove around from house to house, beginning on the morning before the big ball, and did the hair of these great ladies up in patiotts. which is the kind of papers they used then. And they would sit up in bed all night and wait until he got around the next day, took thef papers out and finished the dressing. This was when A. T. Stewart owned little grocery store and got his hair trimmed on Saturday night because he didn't want to spare the time on any other day. For this MT Dibblee got two hundred dollars a year.
 When Jenny Lind came over here to sing Mir. Dibbee was engaged to dress her hair. To the.' hangers about the stage entrance he sold hair purportinS to be hers when they begged for lock
 And in a week they forgot about it anyway, so what was the difference he argues.
 He is now eighty-three years old and has been married twice and has sev- enteen children. ]
 He recalls with a smile of sadness the time when he was especially en-
