A WESTERN WOLF DRIVE.
II Casts a Drag Net over Twenty
Square Miles of 1erritorv

Everything is big out here-the
men, the ranches, the aspects of the
earth itself, says the Wahoo (Neb.)
correspondent of the Buffalo Express.
Hunting is big like the rest. 1t has a
breadth that astonishes the Easterner.
And, like everything else In the West,
sport out here has its practical SIDE
Wolves and wildcats kill the cattle,
and so the men hunt them as a means
of getting rid of them.
The average wolf drive takes in
twenty square miles. Four captains
take charge, each Of one side OF the
big square. They set their men in
motion at $3.50 o'clock In the morning
and oil the hunters simultaneously
begin to push in. toward the center.
As they go they drive along In front
OF them all the animals and birds In
the square. The hounds were let loose
IN the center and drive the wolves to
the sides, where they are shot down.
Only shot guns are used In the wolf
drives. The closing scene is usually
a large hay field, where the game has
email chance to hide or escape. The
men go to the hunt In rigs, and after
the battle you can see the wagons
roll along back home. carrying men
and game.

HOW TO SHAKE HANDS WITH A BOER.

E:m Your Lifelong Enemy

The laugh has long enjoyed the
place of honor as confession of char

laugh, in the opinion of TEaddeus S.
Graham of Worcester is the hand
shake. The handshake, in the first
place." he said, 'is a modern custom
at least, as far as l ever found out.
In the biblical days and in the
Homeric days men used to step up and
fondly embrace enc another, and this
you can find to-day on the continent of
Europe. But now every nation shakes
hands moro or less, and no two alike.
Here in America the typical shake
lasts thirty or sixty or ninety seconds.
''In the orient there is no genlality
about it, but a deep, reverenticl cere-
mony, and often it is merely symbolic,
with no clasping of the other fellows
hand at all. But If you want the
queer and mysterious handshake go to
the Transvaal. If you literally shake

It was our privilege during many
years to count Wendell Phillips and
John Boyle O'Reilly among our best
friends.
We well remember the evening
when both, at our request, took part
in one of our annual meetings at the
fremont temple. 1t was at the time
when we were fighting at the state
house for our law to prohibit the shoot
ing of pigeons from traps. We were
opposed by some hundreds of Boston
gentlemen, who employed three prom
inent lawyers, and we needed help.
We need not say that our application
to Wendell Phillips and John Boyle
OReilly brought the help we wanted
and assisted us in causing the law to
be enacted
From O'Reilly's poem on the death
of Phillips, in the Boston Pilot of Nov.
Is, we take the last two verses:
Come, brothers, here to the burial!
But weep not, rather rejoice,
For his fearless life and his fearless
death; for his true, unequaled voice,

note of human right;

where 1t was to be sent, and on being
told that it was to be delivered to q
beer saloon on South street, said at
once, "The sale is off; we never sell
goods to anyone connected with that
business" and all the talking the
builder (who was and is still lifelong

For his brave heart always ready to
enter the weak ones fight;
For his soul unmoved by the mob's
wild shout or the social sneer's dis
grace:
For his freeborn spirit that drew nc
line between class or creed or race
Come, workers; here was a tcacheI,
and the lesson he taught was coed:
There are no classes of races, but one
human brotherhood;
There are no creeds to be outlawed,
no colors of skin debarred;
Mankind is one in it's rights and
wrongs-one right, one hope, one
guard.
By his life he taught, by his death we
learn the great reformer's creed;
The right to be free, and the hope to
be just, and the guard against selfish
greed.
And richest of all are the unseen

By the toil-soiled hands of workmen-
their sob, their kiss, and their

FIRE DRIVES TO DEATH
careasses Of Wild Animals Choke q
Lake In Washington State.

In a special dispatch from Tacoma,
WASH, not long ago, the strange story
was told of lake in Clarke county
that was choked with the bodies Of
wild animals driven into 1t by fierce
forest fires. L. e. Duval, timber
cruiser for the Northern Pacific rail-
road. tells the following story about
it in the San Francisco Bulletin:
''The lake is only about one acre
in extent, and l have frequently Wis
tied the place before. When passing
near the spot several days ago no
ticed a peculiar smell, and turned
aside to make an investigation. I
found the surface of the lake one mass
of deer, foxes, bears, wolves and all
the small varieties of animals that
roam in our woods. The lake is in g
deep hollow between the hills, and the
fire had encircled it at a great dis.
tance in the first place, crowding to.
ward the lake by degrees, and at last
driving every living animal that had
made it's home in the woods for miles
around into the lake, to be slowly
roasted to death before the fierce heat.
"The whole surface of the water
was covered with carcasses, and how
many deep they were had no means
of knowing. From the remains Of
otner animals near by surmise that
some tried to escape through the cir.
Gle of death. l have heard that in
such supreme moments the fiercest
animals forget their ferocity. Some
thing like that must have occurred
here, for bears, deer. wolves, mink and
squirrels were indiscriminately min
gled in the mass. Probably the only
struggle was for lodgment on the
backs of the already dead animals.
Numbers of the people Living remote
from that region were making pill
grimageJ to the lake to view the spec
tacle."

FISH WAS BADLY FOOLED.
Uncle Eph Was Ready for Business
Thouoh His Eyes Were Shut.

Though His Eyes Were Shut.
Uncle Ephraim had fished in the
little river from boyhood. In his old
age the habit overmastered him, and
he fished on, daily, Notwithstanding
there were, by popular consent, no
more fish left in the stream.
Eph would bait his hook and throw
it in, attend to the business in hand
for a little while, and then go to
sleep. He would sleep hours at time,
and sometimes all day, holding on to
his fishing pole from mere force OF
muscular habit.
One day, while he was sitting thus,
perfectly unconscious of what was
impending, big catfish swan down
the stream from some mysterious hid
ing place, grabbed the hook with raw
enous vigor, and started to sweep on
down with the whole outfit.
But the jerk, the swish, the commo
tion, aroused Eph's muscles to kind
OF automatic action, before he awak
ened from his slumber. The muscles
gave a great jerk and landed the silu
roid way back, twenty-five or thirty
feet from the bank.
Eph awoke, looked around, saw IL
struggling and Hopping toward the
river, got up, rubbed his eyes in
sleepy bewilderment, grabbed the fish
and, while securing him by slipping a
little willow through his gills, gave
him a bit of salutary advice:

AUTO RACES FOR THE

Strong Sentiment FavOrs Making

Strong Sentiment FaVOrs Making
This One of the Attractions.
Automobile races may be a feature
of the Savannah Agricultural and
Industrial Fair; certainly if the Fair
Association offers purses for the Win
ners in the horse races.
There would be few better drawing
attractions than automobile races be-
tween some of the real fast flyers of
the country, and perhaps no place in
the South would afford more interest
than Savannah where so many auto
mobiles are owned.
At present there are no racing ma
chimes here. However, if the Fair As
ISOLATION sees fit to offer a purse of
sufficient size for races some of the
fastest ones in the country will be
brought here.
Mr.. r. A. Bryson was seen yesterday
and said that it would hardly be
worth the while of any one to enter
races at the fair unless the purse We're
sufficient to defray the expenses of inn
porting racing machines.
IF purses as large as those offered
for horses were offered for winners in
Automobile races" said Mr.. Bryson,
there would be plenty of entries and
L believe some of the fastest machines
in the country would be seen here.
1t takes considerably more to put a
racing machine in condition for a race
than it does a horse, and one of the
kind that would be entered in such
races would cost ten times as much
as any horse that will appear here. l,
for one, would like to see good purses
offered for auto races, and will enter
them with one of the fastest machines
l can procure.
The Racing Committee has not yet
been appointed, but it is believed that
the strong public sentiment in favor of
auto races will have a great weight in
influencing the committee to offer a
purse for auto races.
