are two or three. The women inspec-

WOLVES IN INDIA.
A Traveller Describes Their Way Of
Running Down Game.

One strongly-marked %characteriS-
tic common to dogs and wolves is
their skill in trailing and running
down game, in couples or packs. Such
a wolf hunt, says Golden Days, in
India is described by an English tfav-
eler, who, while with his telescope
watching a herd of antelopes feed
ing in a large field, observed six
wolves evidently %concerting how best
to secure their own breakfast.
Having decided on their plan Of
campaign, they separated, leavingone
stationary. -Four crept stealithly
round the outer edge of the field,
and one lay in ambush at each corner,
while the sixth crept through a fur
row to the middle Of the field, and
there lay down unobserved.
When all were thus posted, the first
wolf suddenly showed himself, and,
charging the antelopes, drove them
right across the great field, when they
were headed by another wolf, who
chased them in a fresh direction,
while the first hunter lay down to
rest.
No sooner had the frightened herd
reached the further corner Of the
plain than up sprang a fresh wolf, who.
again turned them and took up the
pursuit, leaving his painting accom-
plice to take his breath, preparatory
to another chase.
Thus the luckless, terrified ante
lopes were driven from corner to
corner of the great plain, till, stupe-
fed and exhausted, they crowded to-
gether, galloping in eyer-lessening
circles round the center of the field,
where the sixth wolf lay hidden, evil
oently waiting TIL they should be so
effectually tired out as to fall an easy
prey,
His calculations were, however, at
fault, not having reckoned on the
human presence, and just as he was
preparing for the final spring, a we'll
directed shot proved fatal to the
nearest wolf, w%hereupon all the con-
federates took the hint and scurried
off with all possible speed.

souri,, was filed with the governor a few
days ago. One recommendation Is the
consolidation of school districts. parlic-

"There are too many small schools
in Missouri. There are 1883 district
schools having less than twenty pupils
IN attendance. Such schools hom the

not be excellent. just think vi 1t, mole
than one-fourth OF all the rural schoolS
of the state have fewer than twenty
pupils, OF these $40 have less thtn
twelve pupils"
Prof. Darlington might have added
that there are l2l school districts in
the state that have less than four
months school in a year, but these dis
tricts are not the ones with the very
small attendance. The schools with
small attendance are largely in Ilch
counties and the reason tor the small
attendance is other than the poverty OF
the people. There are zoos school
houses 10 the state valued at less than
$500 each aud 1912 at less than $500
each. Many of the class valued at less
than $500 are log buildings or small
frame buildings OF cheap construction
