Mistake in Labelling.

Tuesday night Policeman An
derson was around the Southern
depot seeing that the moon and
stars kept in their proper courses.
1t was about twelve O'Clock and
train No. 20 pulled IN. Two very
innocent looking barrels were
billed as ginger ale. Anderson
was suspicious and thought some
mistake must have been. made in
labelling the barrels. They turned
out to be full of liquor and were
seized and turned over to State
Constable Howie. No one put
forward any claims and the per-
sons to whom it was addressed
were ain o5t dumbfounded with
astonlsnment when they were no,
titled. - Chester Lantern.

tariff bill by IA vote of Az to 90 strict

mitted by voice or by vote to partici-
pate I'm the proceedings.
An amendment restricting the opera
tion OF the sedition laws enacted by the
Taft commission was passed.
As passed the measure provides that
articles Imported into the Philippine
archipelago from the United States
shall he required 10 pay the duties
levied against them by the. Philippine
commission and paid upon like articles
imported into the archipelago from for.

Trained MorNes.

Bert Decker, young sportsman OF
Tuscola, H., has succeeded in tanning
two wolves, and they are very valuable
as hunters 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 fayorite way of
catching a 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
always 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 1t is probable that wolves will find
a place in future kennels-Charlesto
