A WESTERN WOLF DRIVE.
It Casts a Drag Net over Twenty
Square Miles Of Territory

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 $50 o'clock In the morning
and all 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
large hay field. where the game has
small 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.

Why. II the fast land scout prove SO

four persons. and to be capable of con-

of athletes whose corded muscles
stand out on their bodies like the
wrestlers of the stadium-advertise

Gymnasium work today has become
sort of craze. Even the women have

Lawyer Was Told at Least All He

Representative Fordney of Michigan
the champion story teller of the house
unless it be Mr.. Capron of Rhode
tsland-was once called as a lumber
expert in a court trial at Saginaw. The
trial turned on the question whether
merchantable Timber had been fur

lawyer on the opposing side was a
very vociferous man, who shouted
when he talked and who was also
much given to pounding on the table
with his fists.

well, witness, what would you say
about slabs and culls? Are they mer.

They are the products of the

"Ah!" yelled the lawyer again.

Fordney. Take a lawyer for instance,

the perfectly proportioned figures and
the erect and graceful carriage which
distinguish these women of the North.
The Swedish belle may have acquired
her charm as the result of ten or fif-
teen years OF physical culture, yet as
the years lapse and she passes the
meridian of womanhood she still con-
tinues her exercises in simpler form,
for they maintain her vigor in old age.
The Swedish soldier practices ath-
letics almost as much as the manual
of arms. The military regulations re-
quire fully an hour day. from which
the officers are not exempt. Most OF
the garrisons have extensive gymna-
siums erected with them.
The men must become SO proficient
in calisthenics that they can pass n
rigid examination by the drill officer,
while. as already stated. every COM
missioned officer must have a certain
knowledge of physical culture before
he is given a command. The army is
also encouraged to indulge in sports
and contests requiring skill and en-
durance Such games as the tug-of-
Wal, IL NdilttS vi lootpaii' tShiiS "Hi
ice-hockey are common among both
rank and file. while the Swedish cav
airy include some of the best horse
men in the world.
Experts are agreed that the military
force of King Oscar is not only one of
the best drilled, but in general ply
sique is equal if not superior to that
of any other European power. This
is due to its physical culture, which
is also responsible for the fact that
medicine administered for disease in
the kingdom is almost unknown and
the physicians gain their principal
reputation by their knowledge of mas
sage and gymnastics-not of potions.
