Has Wheels in his Head.

In spite of all that the editor of the
Doudlejack can do to attract EASTERN
ers to the mineral fields of Wyoming,
he receives on an average a half doZ-
en- letters each mail, asking about
hunting and game in the Sierra
Madres. He therefore wishes pub
lie announcement made to the effect
that these hills abound in game of
various and strange kinds. We have
the Oogly Woo, which is six-legged
animal with n sharp, stiff tail. 1t
has the faculty when closely pur-
sued and cornered, of standing upon
this tail and whirling rapidly around
thereby boring hole in the ground.
Into this hole it disappears-the hole
also disappears. This animal has
been faithfully described by a noted
naturalist who has written for sew
eral eastern newspapers.
We have the deadly Rackaboar,
which is four-legged animal with
short legs on the left side and long
ones on the right side-idjusted adj
mirably for mountain climbing.
This animal courses its swift way
around mountain peaks with its four
legs always touching the ground
equally, no matter how great may
be the slope of the mountain. 1t
can be captured only by turning it's
course in the opposite direction,
when its long legs become upper
most and it suddenly falls off into
space and is lost.
We have the One-eyed Screaming
Emu, which is terrible bird inhab-
iting the highest peaks. 1t has the
faculty, when closely cornered, of
casting back upon its bafiied pursuers
a look Of mingled scorn End derision,

Just One Year.

One year ago yesterday Tom Horn,
the most noted murderer in the his
tory of Wyoming, was arrested,
charged with the killing Of Willie
Nickel at Iron mountain.
Since that time Horn has passed
through many trying ordeals, Ian
gushing in Jail for several months,
then tried and found guilty Of MUIR
der in the first degree, sentenced to
be hanged, and motion for new trial
not sustained, but a stay Of execution
granted until a hearing could be had
before the supreme court. There
seems likely to be no change in the
dicision of the lower court and it is
thought that an appeal to the gov
ernor will be of no avail. Yet Horn
bears up under the awful suspense
and confronts the situation as few
men could, apparently perfectly cog

A close friendship has long existed
between Mark Twain, the humorist,
and Stuart Robson, the actor. They
are in many respects similar and en-
joy many things in common. Mr..
Robson recently told this story of his
friend:
"Up in Hartford where Mr.. Glenn
ems used to live" said Mr.. Robson,
"his closest friend is Rev. Joseph II.
Twitchell, pastor of the Asylum Hill
Congregational church. Mr.. Twit-
chell, by the way, is the original of
Mark Twain's minister in 'Innocents

children, in fact, so often was an ar
rival of little Twitchell chronicled

Things are little more quiet at the
good old college now. Although sum-
mer school now Is i'm session there are
not quite so many students in attend
ance, and the high competitive class
spirits has left us. However this
same spirit is being freely breathed in
the fields and shops. Power is being
generated and stored away ready for Il
bursting forth early next year. The
class of 1905, who were successful
in heading the list on the trophy roll,
are now laying plans to hold the cup
during the next two years. Mr..

The summer school course of lectures
has begun, and the three lectures that
have already been given were all that
could be asked. The first was deliver
ed by Prof. Hall of the Brigham
Young College on Ideas VS.. Ideals. "
Brother Hall favors the ideal, and his
lecture was of that sort.
Prof. VIM. NJ. Stewart of the Uni.
versity of Utah delivered two lectures
on Friday. They were excellent
both instructing and entertaining.
The teachers begin to see clearly now
what awaits them.
improvements are already being
made preparatory to next years work,
among which is the remodeling of the
carpenter shops so as to offer increased
facilities in this department.
