FEW GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH.
Prince Henry disappointed Many OF
the F1ends Who Tried to Get
His Signature.

Prince Henry while here was nat
urally asked often for his autograph,
but it is estimated that not more than
100 persons succeeded in getting it.
Most of the requests came by mail.
The prince, who had met the auto
graph fiends OH the other side, decided
to give his autograph only to certain
individuals. These were the president
of the society or club of which he was
the guest and one or two of those
nearest him at table. To this rule he
persistently adhered, states the New
York Sun.
AT all the dinners at which the prince
was guest in this city, and elsewhere
requests for his autograph were sent
to him in large numbers, most of them
in notes addressed to him through the
presiding officer. Not few of these
requests were made personally.
The prince always took pains to in
form those who presided at the din
ner of the rule he ha made, and left it
to him to explain it to the applicants.
In accordance with the rule he made
for himself he always wrote his auto
graph on the menu card of the presid-
ing officer and of those nearest him at
table, sometimes extending it so that
perhaps five or six persons had the
favor shown to them at the head
table.
Had he complied with all the re-
quests made of him, it was said by
person who was with him and knew
about his mail, he would not have had
time to do anything else throughout
his visit but write his signature

Krisch, trapper residing near Nes-
toria, has at frequent intervals ap-
peared at the county clerk e Office
with wolf pelts on which he has
been paid 8 bounty Of SIT apiece, and
in the aggregate has drawn large
sum. The success Of the trapper has
caused much speculation as to the
methods he followed, the wolves be-
ing very cunning, stunning poison
and not often being trapped.
Now :Krisch's secret has leaked
out, says a Baraga (Mich.) report in
the Minneapolis Journal. Tt devel-
oped that some months ago he man
aged to catch q female wolf in
trap. He built a large yard near his
shanty and in it keeps the wolf, fast
ened to a log chain. 1. Her bowls
bring wolves for miles around, and
the trapper,e sitting in his cabin,
calmly shoots them at his leisure.
In every section Of the peninsula
wolves are reported unusually nu-
merousz this year. The deer in con-
sequence are suffering, as the many
carcasses seen in the woods. testify,
and lately even men have been at
tackled. Only a day or two ago a
case of the latter transpired in

Claude Freckleton, employed, as a
cook at a. logging camp six miles
from Floodwood, started in the even
ing to walk to the village. When
half the distance he heard something
running toward him and, turning,
saw a wolf close by. The man, not
being armed, was badly frightened.
The yelps of the wolf were answered
by others, and soon four other Of
the animals had joined their compan-
ion. Freckleton luckily managed to
find club, and thus armed began
backing away. The hungry animals
would circle around him and snap at
his legs, and whenever they came
near enough he would strike at them.
In this manner the three remain
ing miles were Travelled. Freckle-
ton expected every minute would be
his last, until finally when, just at
the outskirts of the town, the wolves
made a jump at him. The leader
was laid low with the club and the
man turned and ran to safety, the
wolves. frightened at the proximity
of the houses, giving up the chase.
