The Wolf Trapped Chickens.

A wolf that seems to have reasoned
from cause to effect, from bait to cap
tives, was shot near Susquehanna, Pa.
the other day. When the slayer Of
the wolf, a farmer named Sturdevant,
claimed the bounty on the beasts's
skin, he told the county commissioner
a remarkable tale which the New
York World prints.
The wolf, cartured in Potter Coun-
ty when a cub, had been raised III
5turdevant's holue and was as tame
as dog. But he had one evil habit;
he was fond of chickens and would de-
your the farmers poultry.
When the wolf received his food he
would scatter it about him, and Their
lie down with his head on his paw,
feigning sleep. Soon the hens would
surround him to eat his food Wo to
the one that came within reach of his
paw! She was killed and devoured in
a minute.
For this crime the wolf was con.
demned to die. Sturdevant fred a
charge of shot at the beast, but only
wounded him, and ne ran to the woods.
The farmer and his two men followed
the animal two miles and shot at him
again. He crawled into thicket, and
the hunters, thinking he was dead,
went home.
The next morning the wolf came to
the kitchen door when the family We're
at breakfast, and scratched for admis-
sion. The farmers son was delight
ed He and the wolf were great
friends and together they had happy
time all day.
Sturdevant resolved to give the wolf
another chance for the ooy's sake. but
the very next morning the beast set
his trap for chickens and devoured
two. Then he was despatched.

Live Stock Increased.

Live Stock Increased.
Because OF the wet season the corn
crop was damaged, and this accounts
for the comparatively small value Of a
large output. But this loss in corn
was counter-balanced by the rise in
the value Of live stock, chiefly cattle.
This was 23.000,000 in 1901 and $751;
i09, 900 last year. .
The banks naturally showed the
rOwing prosperity of the people OF

There is more significance in this
statement than an outsider would inn
agine, as South Dakota people keep
large sums on deposit in Chicago, New
