ElkS Social.

The social given by the Elks last
night to thier wives and sweethearts
was one of the rost enjoy bale events
in the social calendar Of that lodge.
This is the second social of the kind
that has been given by the lodge and
that it was a splendid success it is
almost unnecessary to say. The pre-
parations for the social devolved
mainly upon Frank Mason. whose
aptitude as a manager OF such events
is acknowledged by his brethren aud
Their efore the burden is usually shifted
upon his shoulders.
The program included instrument
tai selections by Miss Buckius. Mrs.
Jennie Munson and her sister Miss
Glare Thompson. vocal skit by
Mrs. Limbaugh. Miss Pearl Bannis-
ter, Messrs. Blair and Leslie. A
solo by Mrs. Limbaugh and very
excellent short talk and recitation
by Mr.. McCalla. a visitor in the
city.
The pieo de resistance of the
evening however, was Kangaroo
court. over which John O'Boyle.
acted as presiding judge. Frank Mason
as prosecuting attorney and a number
of members of the lodge as officers
of the court.
Ridiculous charges were read
against any number of members OF
the order, who were brought before
the very grave Judge O'Boyle, who
in his witty way sentenced each
and everyone to fine. he finding
no one innocent OF the crime charged
against them. There were some
distinctly humorous charges.
Following the kangaroo court and
until the tables were spread for lunch
con, the ladies and gentlemen wan
dored through all parts of the rooms
of the order, some PLAYING cards,
others taking a hane at the billia I'd
table and others wandering to and fro
in the pleasant rooms.
over two hundred sat down to the
tables Tor tho luncheon and here jol.
lity reigned supreme. There was
singing and general good time. AT.
ter the luncheon came cigars and so.

one of the most pleasant evenings
ever spent in the Elks' history.

dent Sunday afternoon while on his
wedding trip. The sight of the right

Mr.. Reid will be able to leave to
night for Denver accompanied by his
wife and his brother and sister. The
satisfactory change in his condition
warrants the removal to the city

!: A COWARD !:

In going from Chicago to Denver
one comes to many weary miles of
open prairie and. especially is this
true in the western part of Kansas
and eastern Colorado. Recently while
on train on the Burlington railroad.
which was several hours out from the
city of Denver, tho writer was look
ing out of the car window and gaz-
ing DER the vast territory of sand
waste, dotted heie and there with sage
brush, when a pack of coyotes WAS
noticed off at a distance of perhaps
one hundred yards from the railroad.
The sneakinR animals run a little
ways and then sat down ON their
launches, and one could easily see by
their up turned heads and open
mouths. that they were bowling. The
way these animals ran with their
heads thrown to one side and glancing
back at the train as they ran showed
the COW ardly. nature of the brutes.
They reminded one of many men met
on the journey of life.
The coyote is an animal something
on the order of the common wolf that
pestered the pioneers of the eastern
states in early days. and you know
the wolf is said to be such a coward
that it will not attack man unless
driven to it by hunger. The coyote,
or prairie wolf. has sharp snout and
coarse yellowish gray fur cloudod
with black and they are very common
on the plains of the great west.
If you want to get true definition
CT coward. learn the ways of coyote.

With the recent experience of
Mitchell in mind it Is not likely
that there will again be a demand
for a capital contest. But to put
the matter beyond question it
would be well for the legislature
to make an appropriation for
something permanent in the
way of a capitol building. The
state should at least be provided
with a building that is not in
constant danger from fire, in
which valuable records would be
destroyed. While we believe
the capital should have been
placed at a more accessible loca-
ton, the recent vote on removal
should forever settle the ques-
ton, and it will do SO if a credit
able public building is erected
in the near future.

Friendly Gray Wolves.

Gleeson in st. Nicholas. Immediately
on my appearance, no matter what
they were doing, they came at once to
the bars to be scratched and talked to,
and when their coats were changing
and their skins sensitive they would
stand there any length of time while l
pulled away the loose tufts of hair,
their every action expressing q some
what sullen friendliness. But with the
coyotes it was different. They never
make friends with or lose their fear of
man. Generally speaking. they resem-
BILE the prairie wolf, but are much
smaller and Of a browner color. Their
fur II also longer and the tail more
bushy. They vary considerably in col
or, changing with the seasons. In win
ter their coat is lighter, In summer
darker and with more brown. Black
coyotes, while not common, are some
dimes seen, but these are only freaks

What the Pixies In Tipperary Waters

kills many pike during the winter

SO beating him down in price that he
felt justified in resorting to somewhat
questionable means to increase the

the winner of the stakes in the cele-

he would introduce some weighty sub

Once he went so far as to stuff two
old handless latirons he had picked
from a refuse heap down the gullet of
n before taking it to his customer,
who, having weighed it carefully and,
after much haggling, paid him a frac-
ton less per pound for it than he might
have perhaps obtained elsewhere. Meet
ing him next day, he was instantly
aware there was trouble in the wind
by the opening remark, what do pike
feed on, Paddy?" "Och and indade.

With reference to the two loads of

say that l bought forty head of Colo

horned them on Oct. 13 last year.

corn with the husks on. About the
middle of February they were on full
feed, and | fed, them until the 1st Of

me out of corn, so | turned them out
on the grass, and it was July 20 before

one more. This time | gave them

chased from Mr.. Arnour's Hereford
herd eleven bulls and toob them to

them two miles and put them on the

l think was pretty good considering
the way they were fed. OF course |

A Pretty Custom Which Is Still In
Vogue In Some Villages.
An ancient custom which still OBJ
tains in many villages in the south of
France is a pretty variation of the
choosing of the May queen with which
we are so familiar. The mayor and
six of his political officers choose from
among the village maidens the most
beautiful girl. AS oon as the choice
Is made known the queen, dressed in
white, even to a long white veil and
q wreath of white roses, assemblies
with her parents and all the villagers
In front of the mayors house. Here
he and six friends, dressed in frock
coats and top hats, form in procession,
the mayor and queen leading, and
march to the church, where there is d
short ceremony.
They then march back to the may
or's house, where a favored few are
entertained at luncheon. When he
proposes her health he enumerates her
virtues, kisses her on both cheeks and
hands her an envelope which contains
the prize, 5000 in money. But the cere-
mony does not end here. They form in
procession, the band leading this time,
and in a sort of follow my leader"
game walk through the village, up
lanes and over hills for three hours.
That evening a ball is given at the inn,
where the queen dances first with the
mav0r and his Siy friends and aftar-

sc the celebration ends. The queens

are carefully folded away and are
brought out again only when she be-

to return to Its proper position. When
a friend of either official Is observed
the train is brought to a standstill. At

through whose lands the line ran, the
young lady would take her stand at a

would be stopped, and the young man

our goats on pasture almost destroyed

scarcely a weed the goats will not eat;
even buck brush disappears before
them.
