THE YOUNG COYOTES l
TRAITS OF THESE INHABITANTS
 OF THE WESTERN PLAINS.
History of a Nest Full of Cubs That Enriched an Eastern Geological Collection = Will Not
 Make Friends.

Night was falling over one of the great western plains, when the grizzled head of prairie wolf was raised cau- tiously from the mouth of burrow which ran far beneath the surface ot the ground. It was a long, narrow head, not unlike that of a fox, except that it was much larger. and that the ears and eyes were smaller in propor- ton. The face was full of cunning, but that cunning would avail no more, for at this very instant there was squirt of fire and the sharp crack of a rife from a nearby clump of grass, and the coyote was kicking and gasping on the very threshold of it's home. Behind the puff of smoke, a man jumped to his feet, and, with cry of Eve got yer this time. yer thief" ran forward and dragged the dying creature out upon the plain. Even in the dim light, it was evident that this was much smaller and far less formidable animal than the great gray timber wolf, but the man who was lifting it's limp, yell lowish-gray body had found by long experience that not even the timber wolf nor the red fox himself had more cunning than coyote. And something else the man knew, and this was that the wolf he had killed was the mother of number of cubs which must even now be in the burrow below him. So with the butt of his gun he broke in the earth about the mouth of the tun- mel, packed it until 1t was almost as solid as brick, and then, picking up the body of his old enemy, strode away toward his camp.
 Tn the morning he returned to the den with two companions, armed with picks and spades, and before long they reached the end of the burrow, where a bunch of soft brown fur marked the position of six shivering. hungry little coyotes, each doing his best to get little farther away. One of the men put out his hand towards the cubs, but the ones on top of the bunch curled their lips, opened their mouths and showed such an array of teeth, as sharp as needles, that for moment he hesi- tated. Then, realizing that they were but babies, he seized them one by one,
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-06

and drew them out snar1ing and strug- gling.
 The men had no intention of killing the little capitves. They had received orders to get just such a litter for geological park in the east, and as soon as the infants showed that they knew enough to eat small pieces of raw meat, off they were shipped.
 They grew rapidly Tn captivity, and in the fall they were put into large cage with number of other coyotes, and there they may be seen to-day. But one of them. on the 18th of April last, had six babies of her own, and soon made arrangements to buy them Un- fortunately three of them died within a few days, but the other three lived and when they were three weeks old I called for them and carried them off. ! had a long railroad Journey before me, and that my charges might not suffer from hunger I bought a pint of mink to give them on the train. I bought a baby's nursing bottle to feed them with, and, for fear that they might not grasp the meaning of this at once, took also medicine dropper. When opened the box, l thought I had never seen such stolid young crea- lures. They lay perfectly still and looked at me without the least express sion in their faces, and when picked one up he held his fore legs straight out in front, as stiff as ramrods. A young fox of the same age, and under the same conditions, would relax it's muscles and hang perfectly limp. When I was sure they were hungry, offered them the bottle, but, as I had half ex- pected from their appearance, they could not discover It's use. Instead of sucking 1t vigorously, on general prin- ciples, they allowed the nipple to rest quietly in their mouths, while they gazed rather stupidly about them. But they could not go hungry, so with a dropper I gave them what they would not take for themselves.
 When got them home they proved to be just about the same size as my young foxes, though little more than half the age of those ubiquitous rascals. To the casual observer, the young wolves and the young foxes looked very much alike, but to the critical eye they had but little in common except their size. The young wolves were creatures of coarser clay, with heavier bodies, but smaller feet, and shorter ears and tails. Their muzzles were heavier, and the faces more brutal, largely. fancy, because they lacked that charming. good natured, almost human smiles which so often lights up the countenance of that bright little be- ing which men call a fox

Star Jap Acrobat KilIed.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Thirty thou sand people saw the death of Kinta Kichi, a Japanese athlete who was performing before crowd in Luna park, Coney Island, yesterday. He was twenty-two years old and was the star performer of troop of Japanese aero bats. Balancing himself with paper umbrella, he was ascending a wire running at an angle to another horizon tai wire, where he was to have per- formed, as he had hundreds of times, feats in tight rope walking, when he met with the accident. The upper wire is thirty feet from the ground, and he got up within few feet of this when he swayed for second, lost his balance and evidently tried to jump to save himself, but turned in the air so that he struck the ground on his head. He died of fractured skull in a few. minutes in the Emergency hos pital.
