BOUNTIES PAID ON WOLVES.

4 The wolf is more dreaded Of
humanity than any other animal.
No doubt we of to-day inherit that
dread from ancestors who had oc-

quadruped. for there are few por-
tions of the world today where
the wolf is really dangerous to
mankind, says Field and Stream.

UNIQUE STORAGE OF ICE

\. f. Lane, who has just returned
from an outing in the woods of

Milwaukee Sentinel.
This fellow needed ice, being in
the dairy business, so he dug a
hole under the front porch of his
house, making it about seven feet
deep and five feet long and five
feet wide. Then when the real
cold weather came he poured
about two feet of water in the hole
and let it freeze, first covering the
bottom with sawdust. Then as the

The social life of st. Pierre Is

mer, when the French and British
warships, that keep the peace
among their fisherfolk, visit the
port, gay times ensue. Balls and
parties are held, usually on Sun
day evenings, and racing and fir

must, however, close at ten each

yolve dots and contracts as in the
motherland. Naterpipes running
from reservoirs in the hills, and
electric lights replacing the quaint
oil lamps, whose ornamental iron
brackets still adorn the street
corners, are the sole evidence of
modern progress. There are no
trans, street ears, telephones,
newspapers, theaters, laundries or
other accessories of advanced ex-
lstence. Everything is sleepy,
restful, and old fashioned. Save
for the Atlantic cable, which
touches there, it is as isolated
