PARlAH OF THE SKYLINE.
Coyote Always Tantalizing Mark for
 the Man with a Rifle.

coyote Alw0ye TantaliZtnU Mark for
 the Man with Rifle.
 There is deal of coyote hunting in the West that is not attended by the niceties of the club hunt. Ever since the first pioneers pushed their way across the great plains the coyote has been an outlaw, looking for no mercy at the hand of man. His predatory habits have made the animal the bans of the ranchman, and his howl has made him the eXasperation of tine camper and the terror of the tender foot. Then, too. his habit of skulkln2 just within rifle range has always made him tantalizing target for tho man with the rife.
 In spite of his unpopularity with all classes of men, however, the coyote has managed to hold his own better than any other animal in the great West. The antelope is swifter of foot, may. hap, but, not having the cunning of the coyote, has been lured within rife range until practically exterminated in many States. The ranchman's lust for fresh meat, the eastern tourists desire for antlers and elk teeth, and the na. tive who stays for the market have de- populated Colorado and several other States of their best game. The bear, cougar and bobcat have felt the same blighting influence, but the coyote still figures in the skyline of the aver. age Western picture. Sometimes he is unwise enough to eat of poisoned car cases of cattle, but this Is seldom. Again, he falls a victim to coyote "drive" organized by ranchmen and participated in by townspeople, tender. foots, newspaper correspondents and amateur photographers. These coyote "drives" are held annually or oftener in nearly all Western communities where the prairie pest flourishes. An average "drive" participated in by scv. sral hundred individuals will yield sometimes as high as twenty coyotes, and sometimes none at all. A good deal depends on the wind, and more depends on the coyotes cunning and ability to sprint.-Outing.

Have Gift of Imitation.

Some animals have wonderful pow. CTS of imitation. Dogs brought up in the company of cats have been known to acquire the trick of licking the paws and then washing his face. When a cat has been taught to sit up for her food her kittens have been known to initiate her action. Darwin tells of cat that was in the habit of putting her paw into the mouth of a narrow milk pitcher every time she got the chance and then licking the cream off her paw. Her kitten soon learned the same trick. A lady tells of q rabbit that she keeps in cage with a mon- key, and says that Bunnie has caught many of the monkeys ways. It Is said that starving pigeons that have been brought up on grain will not eat peas to save their lives, but that If pea eating pigeons are put with them thcr follow their example and eat pess.- Detroit News-Tribune.

 Mother, I am going to die, and when I am no more I wish the doctor to cut me open and look at my stom- ach."

French Auto Train.

The characteristic feature of the automobile train invented in France is the principle that each car propels itself; the propelling force only is fur. nished by the locomotive. The latter, therefore, as 1t has no pulling to per form, but only to supply power, can be built proportionately very light.

turedly to the fun that was naturally
poked at 1t, and worked the harder to
improve 1t.

boat fame, said:

fast"
"Oh, come. I'll race you upstream"

Disguised tone of voice; IF you're go

might as well drop the notion of a race.
