Cross From Missouri and Live in Duck
Hollow Caves.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 27-William
Pryor, a prominent farmer near Wa
terloo. ILL.,, while blowing land near
Duck Hollow yesterday, saw a large
gray wolf coming toward his house.
He ran to the house, got his shotgun
and shot and killed the wolf
1t was four feet from tip to tip, and
two feet high, and weighed fifty
pounds. Mr.. Pryor took it to County
Clerk Albert Gauen and received the
SIS bounty which is paid for each wolf
killed in Illinois.
Duck Hollow is a dense wilderness
which has many rocky caves. 1t is
two miles wide and over eight miles
long. 1t is only five miles from the
Mississippi river, and in winter the
wolves come across the river from
Missouri when it is frozen.
Over twenty wolves have been seen
there in a herd, and they attack and
devour young hogs and lambs. and also
attack cattle.
Several hunting expeditions have
been made after them, but the wilder
ness is so dense that they are hard to
find.

BURDETTE IN THE PULPIT.

Pope's Death Is Timely.

Leo XIII. was happy in his death. Or
perhaps We might say, if the phrase be
properly understood, that the Roman
Catholic church and indeed the whole
Christian world, were happy in his
death. The time was we'll chosen, when
peace prevailed on every hand, when
no great issues were impending, and
when, thanks largely to Leo himself.
the Roman church was in the highest
estate of influence and prosperity that
it had known for many years. Since
the church had to lose him, it was well
to do so at such time. The manner
of his passing was also fitting, for,
agonizing as it was in some respects
the pope's protracted illness, with its
alterations of hope and despair, was
unquestionably profitable to the church
of which he was the head and to the
world at large. Because of it Sympa-
thies were aroused and expressed as in
other circumstances they might not
have been, and the mutual relations be-
tween that church and the world were
materially ameliorated.-New York

Lipton's Winning Chance.

Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger
has shown herself to be the best boat
that has come across in the quest for
the Americas cup. Years ago there
was wide difference between the
English and the American plans of
building racing. yachts, but the design
ers have been coming closer and closer
together. Americans have abandoned
the "skimming dish" style of boat and
the English have modified their deep
and narrow models until the differences
are matters of detail rather than of
general design. Such being the case it
is inevitable that the speed of the best
products shall become approximately
the same. We shall all cling Loyalty to
the belief that the American boat will
prove, as always, the better of the two,
but it is undeniable that Lipton's
money and persistency have made him
an antagonist to be regarded with
something more than respect.

When Union Men Are Hupes

Common sense would seem to show
that the labor unions must presently
rid themselves of their parasites. 1t ~
inconceivabIe that they should permit
themselves to be exploited, at their own
expense, for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
sharp-witted rogues who have gained
the ascendancy in their management
1t is not in human nature to stand IT;
and there is as much human nature IN
labor organizations as there is in any
other coalitions of men for a common
end. When men quit work because
they consider their wages to be insult
fcient or because they think they can,
by doing so, get higher wages, they
are well within their rights. When they
quit work ostensibly for either of these
reasons, but really only because their
leader or walking delegate has not re-
ceived thousand dollars which he de-
manded as the price of their remaining
at work, they are fools.-New York

AS. THE JAPANESE SEE US.

One Toyokichi Iyenaga, a traveller from Japan told
the students of the University of Chicago the other day
that the Japanese better dressed possessed better
of morality and knew of the of entertain
ing than the Americans do Incidentally Dr. Iyenagas
took sharp rap at American and their meff3ds
of dressing. He said:
sOur women have tried to bridge the spaeehe4s
tween themselves and the savages by boring holes
their hang bones and FROM by tofturing
themselves with high heels, by incasing their waists
steel cages by shocking the sensibties by wearing the
bodies of dead birds around their heads"
1t is bit rough to have lecturers from Japan
come to tell faults but the candor Of Dr..
Iyenaga compes the admission that there is much of
truth in what he says of the absurdy of the costng
and decorations affected by Occidental women he
japanese much closer to nature in their hab
ments, but the average Weserner would hesitate long
before demanding of his women folk that they adopt
the kimono for street
Perhaps DR.. Iyenaga would not have been sharpin
his comments women and morals if he
not exasperaed in measure by the attitude of the
Occidental to his people He says that have gathered
cur knowledge of the life manners and morals of the
Japanese from "The Mikado" "The Geisha" and the
queer that have been told of Sir Edwin Arnold
We have to believe that the Japanese is

society," and the crudes possible ideas of dressing and
adornng herself And those of to whom it is given
write of Japan have been careful foster these mis-
taken ideas We have taken the caricature for por
trait and Japanese have perhaps fallen into the

the idea that Pitt Sing is typical of the Japanese
just Dr. Iyenaga and his countryrnen should give
the belief that the show girl is the typical American

1t will not be easy for Americans and Japanese to
agree standards of and morals The fact we do
agree in matters of business is very much the
point We will press the the Japanese if
they do not insist making the krnono the only
