TRAINED WOLVES.
Illinois Man Uses Them Successfully
In Hunting Rabbits.

In Hunting Rabbits.
Bert Decker, u young sportsman of
Tuscoa. Ill.,. has succeeded in tanning
two wolves. and they are very valua-
BILE as hunters writes the Charleston
On, correspondent OF iile Cincinnati
Enquirer. He captured them when
young, raised them as kittens" and
now. though they are as large as shep-
herd dogs, they are quite tame and
playful. Decker says the wolves can
outrun dogs on the hunt and are very
long winded. Their favorite way of
catching rabbit is to run alongside
of him, put their nose underneath Mr..
Cottontail and throw him ten or twelve
feet In the air, catching him in their
mouths as he falls. The wolves al
ways return to their master when
called.
Decker's success has caused other
sportsmen to undertake the training of
wolves to supplant dogs in hunting.
and it is probable that wolves will find
a place in future kennels.

One of the TELEaRAM's readers
says that the story as to how the
thistle came to adopted as the Scotch
emblem as published in the TELE-
GRAM last week is not the way be al.
ways had understood how the selection
had been made. Hesays that at the
time of the invasion Of Scotland by
the Danes and an attack was planned
on one Of the principal Scotch strong
holds. The night was very dark and
the attack would have been successful
but for the fact that one OF the at
lacking force stepped upon thistle
the sharp spines penetrating, his flesh
caused him to cry out with the pain
thus warning the garrison and allow
ing them to prepare for the attack
which was repuised. As sign OF
thanksgiving at the service done by
the thistle it was adopted as the en-
blemoof Scotland. Either this story
or the one published last week in the
special column Of British news is a
pretty bit of fiction and one is as
likely as the other to be true.

ABANDONED AND BURNED.


Unknown Schooner Left In Ice on
Cape May.
Cape May, N. j., Feb 1.-THE hulk
of an unknown schooner which was
burned at sea off this place Is now
floating about in the ice few miles
offshore. The crews of five life saving
stations went to the assistance of the
burning vessel, but after being out un-
til 6 o'clock in the morning they gave
up the attempt to reach her and ro.wed
back to the shore.
Most of the crews were compelled to
land at Anglesea, n. j.. where the mar
Dor is protected, the high wind pre-
venting them from landing at they
stations. The night was very dark
and the ice was so thick that it was
almost impossible to force the boats
through it.
Seafaring men here believe that it
became necessary to abandon the
schooner and that the crew were tax
en- off by Il passing vessel. Before
leaving her the captain may have
dropped anchors and set fire to the
ship in order to remove her from til"
path of passing craft.

The Original silhouette.

The name silhouette was derived
from Etienne de Silhouette, French
minister Of finance in 1850, who intro
duced several parsimonious fashions
during his administration called la
Silhouette, name which continued to
be applied to the black profile portraits
SilhOuettes were executed in various
ways.
One Of the simplest Is that of tracing
the outlines Of shadows profile

reducing them to the required size e!-
Their by the eye or by means Of pan
tograph. The camera obscura and cam
era lucida are also occasionally used
for the purpose.

Country Inns In England.

A noted traveller says he has sam
pied large number of hotels in his
time-even In Greece-but for bare
faced dishonesty in the making OF
bills the bluff British landlord takes
first place. "After charging twice
what his food and rooms are worth he
tacks on further charge for service,
another for lights, another for bath,
another for fire. In short my expert
ence Of country inns in England-and
can speak with some authority-is
that pay as much day at a shabby
little country inn Of England, where
the food is poor and i'll cooked, the at
tendance inferior and the beds poor, as
would at good hotel in such towns
as Springfield, Mass, or the very best
in Switzerland or Germany. Indeed, it
must have struck the average Ameri-
can that the Incompatible Baedeker
hardly ever finds it possible to recon-
mend an English hotel"

CARTER WHIPS cHoYNskI.
Knocks Him Out in First Round At
ter Terrific Fighting.

Chicago, March 24.--"Kid' Garter Of
Brooklyn, knocked out Joe Choynsli in
the first round of a siX-round contest,
tonight, at the American Club. II was
either mans battle up to the final blow
Choynski had reached Carriers Jaw
with both hands at least 20 times and
had the Brooklynite staggering, wnen
the latter made desperate lunge with
his right for Choynski.
The blow landed in the pit of Ch1yn-
skis stomach and doubled him up. Be-
fore he could straighten himself out
Carter chopped him with ri~.it on the
Jaw. Choynski went down, but came
to his feet staggering, barely able to
hold his hands up. Instead of endcav-
oring to clinch, Choynski stood off and
began smuggling.
Carter, who had recuperated from the
terrible beating he had received, was
the stronger and after missing evaral
desperate swings finally landed a full
right swing on Choynskis jaw The
blow had such force that it lifted
Choynski clear off his feet and he went
down on the top of his head.
1t was thought for a time that he had
been seriously injured, but with the
assistance of a physician his handlers
brought him to his senses, after he had
been unconscious for fully 10 minutes.
The round lasted minutes and 35 sec

.. DYNAMITED THE DAM,
Course Necessary to Save Reduction
Works on Union River.

Ellsworth, Me-, March 24-There is a
slight feeling of relief here although
the Union river is still threatening
trouble and in fact is practically as
high as at any time during the present
freshet. At the highest mark reached
the past two days the swollen river was
but inches below the mark of last
year which was the highest known for
many years. At l o'clock Monday af-
ternoon, the water had dropped only Q
inches from this mark.
The largest sufferer up to date has
been the Boston Reduction Co., it's
plant having been damaged quite Sc
verely and may suffer yet more, al
though it is believed that relief has
been found.
Sunday afternoon, during the very
down stream and in their course tore
out a corner of the mill, carrying away
quite a quantity of flooring and some
of the large tanks used by the COM
pany. The latter at once sank to the
bottom.
1t was a very serious situation and
the management at once decided that
heroic measures We're necessary. Re-
lief must be obtained and at once and
the only feasible method to obtain such
was to lower the water by blowing out
a portion of the dam.
A crew was at once put to work and
on Sunday evening a charge of dyna-
mite was put in on the east side Of the
dam. A 20-foot section of the dam was
blown out, changing the course of the
current somewhat. This relief. how
ever, was not sufficient, so Monday
forenoon. two more explosions We're
made. These, it is hoped. will be suf-
ficient to prevent more damage to the
mill, but if not then the company will
continue the use of dynamite.
1t is learned here that considerable
relief is felt concerning the dam at
Green lake. The dam has thus far
stood all the demands upon it manfully
and the stress of the waters is not as
great as it has been.
