nENACERIE WOLF
Escased Animal is Prowling in Wo ods
 Near Putnam, Connecticut.

Putnam, Nov 29.-A large gray wolf is prowling around Squaw Rocks and the Green Hollow road in the direction of Providence It sneaks after wood choppers and farmers on their way home at dusk, and has several times been shot at, but iappears toohave a charmed life. fsa
 The presence of the marauder in Western Rhode Island and Eastern Connecticut is known through the bOr- der towns and no sportsman ventures from home who does not go loaded for wolf. The hen groosts andy stables of the line towns are carefully secured, while women and children stay in af- ter nightfall, and men who have occa- ison to go out take a gun lsand extra shells. sS sfr4 3fs9IF z. On one night woodchopper on his way into the city over the Green Hol- low road stopped in the woods to light his pipe. He heard rustling of the . dead leaves behind, and, turning, es- pied the wolf taking long, slow steps on his trail. The woodchopper drop ped his pipe and ran, with his axe and dinner pail, for a cleared space ahead, The wolf followed likewise on the run, l but, with a timidity born of natural fear and some fami iarfty with the defensive powers of man, the beast did ], not close in.
 1 When he reached the open road the ] woodchopper dropped into walk, and, turning his head, could see in the edge of the forest the blazing eyes ot the wolf. He thought he had shaken his soft-footed pursuer, but when he had entered the next stretch or forest the woodsman was aroused, by the crack of dry sticks behind him and saw the
 beast again looking for his supper with himself as the prospective menu
 The woodsman decided to act on the offensive, so he turned, yelled and fourished his axe, drummed on his tin pail and gave chase to the wolf
 which turned and fled.
 The wolf is notsa native, but halt
 civilized beast that escaped along
 with several companions, from a me :, nagerie near Providence last summer

onr nfi.na,ned auaaI.

America's typical game 5ird the quail, is not named correctly at all, ac. cording to the government ornitholo- gist. He says that the real quail is the quail of the Bible and that this is 3 bird belonging exclusively to the old world. The true quail does not occur in America at all. In many parts of this country the American bird is known as partridge, but the American partridge is really the ruffed grouse, and the true partridge again is another old world bird and not American. He thinks that the name given to it in many localities, ''bobwhite,' is as good as any. The name comes from the cry of the bird, which is something like "bobwhite, bobwhite, bobwhite.'

Fatal Applause.

An English lady snake charmer named Leyton was performing at a village called Vaelhlinger, in Rhenish Prussia, in menagerie with boa constructor. This she permitted to coil round her neck and breast. Her cour age met with thunders, of applause from the spectators, who little dreamed that by their signs of approval they had sealed the poor charmer's death warrant. Such, however, proved to be the case, for, apparently infuriated at their demonstrations, the reptile tight ened it's coils and amid the shrieks of the public strangled the lady on the platform before anything could be done to assist her. The snake was i'm mediately killed

A coONsKIN FARE.
It Would Have Paid the Traveller t0
 Let the Change Go.

At Would Have Paid the Traveller tO
 Let the Change Go.
 Many years ago, as the story runs when coonskins were worth six bits apiece in Arkansas and a regular fee of two bits was assessed for ferrying a horseman across the St. Francis river, there came along a traveller whose en- tire capital consisted of but single pelt, and the ferryman hadn't a cent of change in his pocket.
 The traveller was bound to cross, but refused to pay three times as much as the man who passed before him or the one who was to come next. The ferry, man would not wet an oar unless pay ment for his services was assured Here was ample foundation for an ar gument, and presumably the opportu. nifty was not neglected But satisfac tory arrangement was finally reached, the traveller getting value received for his coonskin by being waited thrice across the stream This of course would leave him on the right side, and neither party to the trade would have cause for complaint. Such was the gen. erous spirit of accommodation which obtained in these earlier days, such but hold on a bit On the second trip the ferryman chanced to inspect the coonslin close ly and found that it was by no means up to the recognized standard. Maybe it had been killed too early in the sea son or was not properly stretched. Anyway, he decided that four bits was all it was worth, and the traveller frankly admitted the soundness of his l Judgment, acknowledged that he had received its value in the double fer riage and forthwith started on his fifty mile ride up the river to the nearest 1 point where 1t was fordable.-F Field | and Stream.
