LICENSE ON WOLVES.

00uth Dakota Town TaOs Aninals In
Sn0e Manner ~ Dogs.
The little town Of Eyarts. situated on
the east bank Of the Missouri river, in
the north central portion of South Da.
kota, enjoys the distinction Of being
the only place in the United States
where wolves are licensed. says a Sioux
Falls dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. The town council has enacted
an ordinance which IL probably the
most unique instrument OF the kind in
existence.
1t bears the title of IAN ordinance to
license dogs and wolves"
The ordinance provides that all per-
sons owning or having in their posses
sion any dog or wolf shall on or before
the irst day Of May Of each and every
year hereafter pay to the town treas
urer an annual tax of 81 for each dog
or wolf. The payment of the tax en-
titles the owner Of the dog or wolf to
permit it to run at large within the
limits of the town. Licensed dogs and
wolves must he provided with the Gus
tomary tag. The town marshal is re-
Quired to impound any dog or wolf
found without collar and tag. The
owners can redeem" them within
three days by paying the tax, together
with an additional fee of 81 to the mar
shall. Otherwise the dogs or wolves will
be killed at the expiration of the three
days. The equine ordinance covering
the licensing of wolves and dogs in
print fills about three-fourths of a col
m of space.

The Plumb Line In Porto Rico.

One OF the curious things that men
Of science have discovered in their in
Vulnerable efforts to easur and map
the earth with the least possible error
ID the fact that there are places where
the direction Of a plumb line is not
vertical. Irregularities Of density in
the crust of the globe may produce
this phenomenon. A remarkable in
stance has been found In our new is-
land OF Porto Rico. where the devia-
don from the vertical is SO great that
IN mapping the island the northern and
southern coast lines US shown on the
elder maps had each to be moved IN
ward half a mile.

POPE LEO XIII.

AT few minutes past 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the earthly
career of Pope Leo XIII came to an
end. He was born March 2, 1910, and
was, therefore, over SO years of age
when he died. While few of his
predecessors in the papal chair may
have possessed stronger personality,
none of them brought greater execu-
tive or diplomatic ability to the high
position. For a little more than 20
years he has ruled the destinies of
the Catholic church with it's two
hundred and fifty millions of adher-
entS.
Pope Leo was the two hundred and
tifty-ninuh regularly elected pope, and
besides these there have been about
seventeen anti-popae, or those who
have usurped the office without be
ing regularly elected The high of
flee depends upon tradition alone, the
strongest of all laws. for its author
ity. St. Peter was The first pope, but
his title was bisnOp of Rome and the
exact date of his reign is in doubt,
but it was about A. ID. 49, Rome be-
ing the capital of the world, her
bishop gradually come to exercise au-
thority over the entire church, and
in the elev nth century was univers-
ally recognized as the head of the
church.

of the pope the college OF cardinals
will begin balloting for his success

REFORM NEEDED.

Deaths from lockjaw occasioned
by injuries received in celebrating
the Fourth of July are still being re-
ported by the press dispatches. and
the number of casualties reported
after each celebration of the day, has
come to be so large as to make one
wish that the day might he cale-
brated in some more sane and rea-
sonable manner. AS a result of the
last celebration over 100000 in
property was destroyed by fire. and
up to date % deaths have been re-
ported, while over $500 persons were
injured, many Of them manned for
life. list that would do credit to a
modern battlefield. and one that is

any battle of the late Spanish-Ameri-
can war. From quiet day spent in

the celebration should cost more
than did the thing itself. The day de-
serves the most fitting commemora-

the hearts of American youth, but
it is doubtful if that end is reached

A LONG LIFE.

The valiant fight that Pope Leo
made against death held the at
ton:ion of the whole civilized world
is a sI-at political, social and reli-
gious force in the world, the personal
character eff the venerable pontff has
been the real cause of the universal
regard and solicitude shown. Aside
from any sect or creed, Pope Leo had
come to be recognized as one of the
worlds ablost men. Coming to the
papacy at time when the affairs of
the church seemed hOpelessly in
volved because Of the hostility OF the
Italian government BY his tact and
diplomatic ability Pope Leo Mi
changed that hostility into respect,
and that without sacrificing in the
least his independence, At the age
of H3 the pope's mind seemed as clear
and as keen as it ever was. but the
worn out body faltered and
failed. knowing that he must soon
start upon his last journey, the pope.
while waiting, still ATTENDED to the af-
fairs of his office and enjoyed the
greetings of friends. With serene
confidence he faced the future. know
ing that his life work had been we'll
completed, and for him death had
truly been robbed of its sting
All interest will now center in his
successor, but just who that will be
no man can say. Doubtless an italian
will be chosen, and Cardinal Gotti
seems to have the best chance.
