Wolves In Minnesota.

For the first time in the history Of
logging operations in northern Mime
sofa woodsmen are afraid to 60 any
distance from camp after nightfall.
Even when travelling in numbers and
armed they are afraid of being pounc-
ed upon by pack.
Among the many adventures with
wolves reported lately are few Of
thrilling interest. The most extraordi-
nary was that of Paul Mckay, tie
maker. He was working on a small
contract thirty miles northwest of Du-
luth, getting out ties for logging
road. One night in the latter part Of
January he worked later than usual,
and it was already dark when he
started for camp, two miles away.
Mckay had not thought seriously Of
danger from wolves, though he knew
that it existed. He had scarcely got
started for camp before the woods
resounded with the howls Of wolves.
Mckay was instantly panicstricken.
He took to his heels and ran for his
life but he was soon aware that the
wolves had scented him and were
after him. Mckay realized that his
only hope lay in climbing a tree, and

The palace makes ridiculous the oc-
cupant who is beggar in mind and
spirit. 10 no purpose is the country
great If the men are small. Life is
more than life's circumstances, man
more than his environment.
The American patriot then more
than others seeks grounds for his love
of country chiefly in the world of
mans higher being. For him freedom,
knowledge, truth, justice, good will,
humanity are the essential needs, and
it is a little thing that America offers
facilities for satisfying the physical
and material wants if here the soul
is starved. Democracy itself is, not
an end, but a means. The end is a
nobler, wiser, stronger, more benefi-
cent kind Of man and woman. How
shall such men and women be formed
except by opportunity-opportunity
for all of worship, of education, of
culture, of work that strengthens and
purifies, while it creates material COM
fort and independence. If nobler
race is to spring forth in this New
World, all the influences that are
active and potent in the national life
must conspire to form public opinion,
by which, in the end, we are all ruled.
A public opinion which shall be
favorable to pure religion, to the best
education and to sound morality.
The better kind, however, otherwise
they may disagree, must unite and
support one another in ceaseless ef-
forts to create such a public opinion.
They must not merely lead loyal,
brave, chaste and helpful lives, but
they must so live that the atmosphere
in which they move shall receive from
them magnetic quality-the power
to stimulate all who breathe it to
nobler thoughts and loves; to deeper
and more tender solicitude for the
rights and needs of all men, of women
and children, Of the sick and forsaken
of the criminal and captive.

Birds Sang Her REQUIEM.

Sister Julia Anne, an aged Sister Of
Charity, died a few days ago ut the
Sisters hospital, Los Angeles, and was
buried at the new Catholic cemetery,
Boyle Heights.
The venerable Sister was for, thirty
four years religious, and was well
and favorably known through the Pa
cific coast. The old-timers will well
remember her charitable deeds and
humane work for suffering humanity
at time when help was required for
the poor and needy. The pioneers that
are still living will, no doubt, remem-
Der with pride her noble and Christian
work in Virginia City, New, and in
many parts Of California.
Those who were acquainted with
the Sister were perfectly aware Of her
great love Of birds, and it was evident
that there was no music so charming
to her ear as the clear note Of the
mocking bird. She would listen for
hours, If time permitted, to natures
warblers, and it was her usual custom
to say to the gloomy and down-hcarted,
"Listen to those sweet, singing little
birds and take lesson from them and
you will be happy" A pretty incident
occurred during the celebration Of the
requiem Mass for the repose of her
little band of her favorite birds came
together on tree outside of the chapel
window and kept up their song con-
tinually during the solemn service for
the dead. 1t made great impression
on the congregation as it was well
known to all that the dead Sister was
pnssionately fond during her lifetime
Of the song Of the wild birds.

End of a Land Agent.

A few weeks ago the mortal re-
mains Of celebrated land agent, Mr..
Matthew Weld O'Connor, were laid in
their last resting place in Granard
Protestant churchyard. lie had been
living a few miles outside the town Of
Granard, at place called Clontin, in
an old disused and dilapidated resi-
dence, almost rooliess, in great soli-
tude and poverty, without servant
or anyone to cook his meals. lie was
generally in bad health and spirits any
time he could venture outside in fish
ing and shooting to help to support
himself. His SONS were in South Az
rica. 1t was, says a correspondent of
the Anglo-Cclt, a strange ending for
so remarkable n man-one who was
so well known and feared in the sur
rounding counties only short time
before. None of his old friends, the
landlords, came to see him-he was
completely deserted. The writer vis-
ited him some time before his death,
and was told by him of his past event
full career, and that he was spending
his lonely hours in writing a history
of his life, which he would title '"rhc
Life Of Land Agent in Ireland for
Forty Years." His funeral, which
consisted of hearsc and three poor
men, would have passed unnoticed
were it not for the lonesome tolling Of
the church bell. Such was the end Of
a man ut whose glance many Il tenant
tremblcd.

! he hurriedly scrambled into poplar
about six inches in diamtter, In less
than two minutes the parting, al
most exhausted, and terrified man
was looking down at three wolves.
Their eyeballs glowed like balls of
fire, and Mckay was so scared that he
was afraid he would fall out of the
tree from sheer terror. Then some
thing extraordinary happened. Two
of the wolves fell upon the third and
killed and devoured it. 1t was ter
rible fight for short time. Then the
other two wolves quarreled and
fought, and finally left the tree, con-
tinuing their hostility toward each
other, swapping and barking until they
could be no longer heard. Mckay was
still afraid to come down from his
uncomfortable perch. He shouted for
help, and then noticed that he was be-
coming weak and deadly cold. He
attempted to change his position, and

flowing from the back Of his right
hand. He had hurt it on the stub of
broken limb while climbing into the
tree and in the excitement had not
noticed it. While attempting to band
age the wound with his handkerchief
voices were heard in the road, and
two men with lanterns and rifles in
their hands approached. They had
heard the wolves, and, observing that
Mckay had not returned at the usual
time, had gone in search for him.
Mckay half fell and half climbed
out Of the tree. He told of how the
wolves had fallen upon one another,
and the men who had come to the
rescue said that their conduct was
easy to explain. Some Of the blood
from McIkay's torn hand had fallen on
one of the brutes, and the others
smelling it, and locating it upon their
companion, had torn him to pieces.
The two survivors, both being wound
ed in the struggle, and probably bleed
ing, were disposed to eat each other
up, but, their hunger having been sat
isfied, their ferocity was temporarily
abated. Doubtless they fell victims to
other wolves who smelled the blood
upon them.
George M. Smith, Jr., son of George
NJ. Smith, general agent of the Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
road, in Duluth, had a terrifying ex-
perience with wolves near Hibbing
recently. He was riding horseback
from one of Powers & Simpsons
camps to another, about nightfall, and
was pursued by wolves for several
miles. Smith had a good revolver and
a full box of cartridges with him. He
says that there were not less than q
dozen wolves in the pack. He fired
into the pack several times before he
wounded one of the beasts, and they
showed unusual disregard for fire.
arms. One wolf was killed outright
by shot, and as far as Smith could
tell these two We're the only animals
that were hit. The dead and wounded
wolves were both dcvoured by their
companions. The revolver was what
saved Smith, for his horse was scrub.
When he arrived at the camp Smith
was 80 scared and faint that he re-
