Unto the Death.

Time has frequently shown at its
elapsing page examples Of the close
friendship of dog and master, yet none
more pathetic than the following Dur
ing the recent fatal illness of Granville
-Haines, he expressed a desire to see
his dog. His son fulfilled the fathers
request. The faithful fellow seemed
sportive and cheerful as he accom-
panied William up the stairway into
the sick mans room. He placed his
forepaws on the bedside and closely
scanned his masters face and smelled
the caressing hand. Then he lowered
his head with a sad expression, and
all efforts to make him play or man
ifest cheerfulness proved unavailing;
neither could he be induced to look
at his master, though called and urged.
The grief-stricken canine paved at
the door and was taken down stairs.
Previous to this event be seemed in
perfect health, but now he refused food.
Later he disappeared He was called
and whistled for but he did not come.
Search was made in places to which he
lad been in the habit OF going, but in
vain. Finally some Of the inmates
discovered him on the south side Of
the house, sitting upright, his head
elevated and his face turned imme-
diately upward toward the window of
his sick and dying master-and he
was dead.-HagerSto,cn Mail.

A young married couple from
Koontz, Va, went to Hagerstown the
other day on their bridal trip and
they stopped at the Baldwin House.
They were assigned to room "a, and
before going to supper blew out the
gas, neither of them having ever seen
a gasburner. After supper they
returned to the room, which was full
Of gas, but they remained. The porters
smelled gas and searched until they
found where it was escaping. The
groom said he had never seen that
kind of lamp before lie stated
that he had to stand on the bed to
blow the gas out.

Wolf-Raising in Nebraska.

The large number of claims coming
into the State Auditors Office, Lin
coin, Nebraska, for bounties on wolves
and coyotes has led to the discovery
that some farmers and ranchers in the
western part of the State have gone
into the business of breeding those an
finals for the bounty market.
In one instance a man was found to
have raised more than 100 wolves last
summer from several animals he had
trapped and penned up for that pur-
pose. Other cases were unearthed
where from Is to 60 of these animals
had been reared. In October and
November they were killed and their
.calps presented for redemption at the
Office of the County Clerk of each
county.
The State law authorizes the Coun-
ty Clerk to pay So from the county
fund for each coyote or wolf scalp
presented, and he certifes the fact to
the Auditor, who pays 81 additional.
At this rate wolves and coyotes pay
better than hog raising, and naturally
the farmers have turned their atten-
ton to this industry.
The law was passed years ago when
the wolf and the coyote were the great
foes of the cattle and sheep. In the
last ten wears $4,000 has been paid
by the State alone as bounty.
The Legislature of 1899 appropri-
ated 100000 for the purpose. OF
this amount $4,000 was Immediately
demanded by holders of old claims.
The remaining $4,000 was gone
within six months, and when the last
Legislature appropriated $4,000 ii
was at once swallowed up by holders
of old claims. There are now on file
with the Auditor claims aggregating
$4,000, and by the end of next year
this figure will be doubled.
These figures indicate that instead
of being killed off, the wolves are in
creasing. The explanation is now
simple.
What makes the State authorities
the angrier is that there is nothing tc
prevent man from running vol
ranch if he desires to, and with the
market unlimited and the price fixed
at very renumerative figure, the
business presents opportunities that
attract capital. The only drawback
Is that a man must wait for his money

B. & O. passenger train No. 6, one
of the finest on the road, running be-
tween Chicago and New York, was
wrecked and completely destroyed
on New years day at Glencoe, 80
miles west Of Cumberland. The train
was coming down the mountain when
it got beyond control Of Engineer Col
Inns, and it was running al 90 miles
an hour when the engine jumped the
track and the cars piled on top OF it.
None Of the passengers was killed,
though several were hurt. The en-
gineer and fremen were crushed to
death and other trainmen were injured.
The wreck caught fire and was entire
ly destroyed, the new Pullman sleeper
Melton and the splendid observation
car Blanca going up in smoke with
the rest. Nothing was left Of the
