Satisfied with Themselves.

The Haitian loves to play at being a
soldier. He delights in uniforms and
gold lace, military titles and display,
yet he allows his neighbor, San Do
mingo to push the frontier between
the states farther and farther to the
westward without offering the slight
est objection. Here is conversation
reported by Hesketh Prlchard between
three consequential Haitans, clad re-
spectively IN blue, green and pink uni
forms thickly netted over with gold
lace:

others.

"Our troops are the finest in the

Il have seen none like them," agrees
the Englishman. with caution.
The army of Haiti has never been

CAPTIVE WOLF LEADS
OTHERS TO SLAUGHTER.

For several months Wendelin Krisch,
a trapper residing near Nestoria, Mich,
has at frequent intervals appeared at
the County Clerks office with wolf
pelts on which he has been paid the
bounty Of SIT apiece. In the aggregate
he has drawn large sum. The sue
cess of the trapper has caused consid-
cradle speculation as to the methods
he followed, the wolves being very
cunning. stunning poison and not often
being trapped. Now Krischs secret
has leaked out.
1t develops that some months ago he
managed to catch female wolf in
trap. He built a large yard near his
shanty and in it keeps the wolf, fast
ened to a long chain. Her howls bring
wolves from miles around, and the
trapper. sitting in his cabin, calmly
shoots them at his leisure.
In every section of the peninsula the
wolves are reported unusually numer-
Gus this year. The deer in consequence
are suffering disastrously, as the many
carcasses seen in the woods testify.
and lately even men have been at
tackled. Only a day or two ago there
was case of the latter kind in Dickin-
son County, Claude Freckleton, en-
ployed as a cook at logging camp six
miles from Floodwood, started in the
evening to walk to the village. When
half the distance he heard something
running toward him, and, turning. saw
wolf close by. The man, not being
armed. was badly frightened.
The yelps of the wolf were answered.
by others, and soon four more of the

animals had Joined their companions.
Freckleton luckily managed to find a
club, and thus armed, began whacking
away. The hungry animals would cir
Gle around him and snap at his legs.
and whenever they came near enough
he would strike at them. In this man
ner the three remaining miles were
Travelled.
Freckleton expected every minute
would be his last, until finally when
just at the outskirts of the town the
wolves made a concerted rush. 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.

Out on the big ranches they round

tie are corraled and at the exit, where
but one steer may pass at time, is a
small pen, called the stock. At the
closed end is an opening between bars

sufficiently large to lead the steer to
thrust his head through. Three men
stand waiting for him. One of them
throws down wooden bar which
clamps the animal in a vise-like grip
and holds his head where he has thrust
it. The dehorners stand upon the right
and left. They carry long-handled
steel clippers, and when the steer is
caught in the stock they throw these
over the horns and snip them off in a
jiffy. The bar is raised and the steer

Use Knives In Quarrels.

In Burmah in Ceylon, and, though
fortunately in lesser degree, in Ma
dras, quarrels are constantly occurring
in which knives are brought into play
and serious wounds inflicted, resulting
more than often not in death. The
knives used in Ceylon are sheath
knives, and for long the law abiding
community has been trying to get the
authorities insist on these knives being
made with button on the tip. They
would thus be rendered harmless for
stabbing, while still available for
legitimate use.

horner takes precautions against the
dehorned cattle taking cold. When
the horn is clipped gouge is used to
hollow out the stub of the horn. Tar
is thrust into this, sealing it and pro-
tecting the animal against cold. The
dehorner ordinarily goes around with
his outfit like thrasher goes from
farm to farm thrashing wheat. A de-
horning outfit consists of the stock,
which is not too large to be carried in
a wagon, clipper or saw, a gouge and
a quantity Of tar.

completion.
The Decaturs have complied with all
the requests for donations made by the
railroad people, viz: $500 in cash, the

Montgomery, January S.-(Special.)-Ac
cording to a decision rendered in the City
Court of Montgomery by Judge A. d.
Sayre, only $3.50 can be collected as poll
tax by the tax collector. The judge is
sued a peremptory writ of mandamus to
the tax collector of Montgomery County
to give clear receipts for poll taxes to
citizens upon the payment of $1.50. Tax
Collector Halls had previously held that
the assessors fee of so cents should also
be paid, as he had been charged by the
assessor with about $1,000 OF such fees.
Judge Sayre holds that under the new
constitution the assessor is without au-
thority to charge a fee for assessing de-
linquents. The writ issued by Judge
Sayre was upon application of T. B.

Thompson, filed a friendly suit against
