The Coyote

The Coyote is a sort of bastard dog
Who is always hungry as a hog
And always around night and day
To carry your lambs and chickens
away.
When the dew of eve begins to fall
He is out again with his hideous howl
While he sits on his hunkers to- bark
and growl
Till the time has come for him to prowl.
The poison you put out he'll never take
No, not for you nor hunger's sake
His instinct teaches tits no fake
SO continues the howl to keep you
awake
A sneaking, thieving. pusillaminous
cuss.
Always around making a fuss,
Watching for chickens when out of the
coop
Before your ready with gun to shoot,
Up the hill he'll take skoot
And when we'll out of reach of your
gun,
He'll sit on his hunkers just for the
fun
And look at you as much to say
Shoot and bdarned I'm out of the way.
Then off in safety he'll go to his den
Till evening comes to annoy you again,
NJ
remain
In spite of poison, dogs or men
A nuisance to be endured ad infinitum.

Nobody Knows

There's a dull, bitter pain in my heart,
tonight,
But nobody knows or hears,
AS I toss alone in my boat of woe,
Down through the ocean of tears,
Nobody knows of the dear, dead hopes
That are pallid and cold today.
All, nobody knows that the light of a
life
Is burning itself away,
Burning to ashes, heart and a soul,
Burning to ashes, the love of years,
All, nobody knows am lying here.
My Youth undone in a flood of tears.

trhe above poem by Mr.. Seaman is
worthy of special mention as it has a
marked stamp of genius which properly
developed may lead to something of
which he may be justly proud. The
thought is coherent and felicitously ex-
pressed. 1t is with great pleasure that
we publish 1t and anything further
from Mr.. Seaman viii be received with

"And Then the Dark"

"And Then the Dark"
A little life, little light,
And then the dark for me.
A little while and shall stand
Beside the tideless sea.
The joy of life is in my heart
1 have no fear of pain,
Nor do 1 think that having died
1 shall but live again.
A few more days, a few more dreams,
And then my eyes will close.
Some say that death is but a change.
Some say it's peace. Who knows!
But life is sweet. 'Tis twilight now,
And out beneath the sky
My sweetheart waits, I'll meet her
where
The corn is standing high.
Good bye, for now, to these vague
dreams.
None are as sweet as she.
I'll love and dream few days more,
And then the dark for me.

TAKE UP BRITISH SPORT.
Wealthy Americans Are Now Tak- ing Shots at the Grouse Over
 Alien Moors.

Americans who have gone to Great Britain for the shooting season send word that the sport is expected to be above the average, the dry spring and early summer having greatly favored the matching and raising of the young birds in the preserves and on the moors. The shooting was poor last year-the worst since 1895 The advance conditions were the same in both bad seasons, an .un- usally heavy winter being followed by freshets and .protracted rains in the spring, so that the birds were drowned while matching or else the young were killed off by the wet The opposite con- ditions prevailed this year
 It is becoming quite the usual thing among American devotees of live bird shooting to take run across the Allan tic to get a share of the English sport with the grouse partridge or pheasants and to join in the country gayetfes issued in by the shooting
 The signal was the start of the grouse shooting on August 12, and the birds will be fair game until December 10. The red grouse Is confined to the British isles, and 1t is the best shooting in the world, according to wing shots. The law does not open on cartridges until September l, and on pheasants until 'Oc. tober l, both seasons closing on Feb raury 1.

CAUSES RUSH qFoR BRIDES.
Canadian Government Cuts Salaries of Unmarried Men in Yukon
 Territory $500 a Year.

Society in Dawson will be embellished next winter by at least sorce of brides. This situation results from the action of the Canadian government in making a difference of $500 year in the salaries of married men and single men in the civil service of Yukon territory. Mar ried men are paid that much more be- cause of the greater cost of living where there are two to provide for.
 The new regulation became effective on July 1, when the salaries of all the single men In the Yukon territory were cut $500 year The result of this in- novation has been stampede for brides. Many young men who have been content to endure the hardships of northern win ters in single blessedness, while their sweethearts in eastern provinces await ed their return in patience, have con- cluded that, after all, Dawson is place where 1t is not good for man to live alone.
 Nearly every mail reaching Dawson contains cards announcing wedding ceremonies in which government em- ployes spending annual vacations in the east are participants.

BEAR CUBS VISITORS
LITTLE JIMMY HAS AN INTER- EsTING TIME WITH THEM.
Ernest Harold Baynes Tells of the Experiences of Some People Who Come to See
 His Pet.

There may be some one within 8 radius of 20 miles from my home who does not know of Jimmy, the bear cub, but doubt it. And almost every one who knows of him considers it duty to call on him to pay their respects, so they walk in and drive in from all points of the com pass, and Jimmy receives them all with delight, condescension, indifference or unfeigned disgust, according to his mood at the time, or, in other words, according to the length of time which has elapsed since his last meal.
 Last Sunday over 30 carriage loads of people unloaded themselves on my premises during the day, and as many more came on foot Among the first to arrive was lady with a little child about two years old. Jimmy was lying quietly on the lawn, chewing clover, and did not rise to greet them.
 ! See, darling! See the pretty baby bear!" said the lady, advancing confi- dently, and letting go of the young ster's hand. Baby, pat the pretty bear," and without hesitation, the lit- tie one advanced, and patted the bear on the head. Jimmy took this familiar
 
 ity as an invitation to wrestle, and promptly but gravely arose on his hind legs and clasped the baby in his sturdy arms The frightened youngster screamed and fell over backwards. and Jimmy, letting go his hold, stood quite erect, and eyed his supposed antagonist as though greatly surprised at the sud- den termination of the contest. Tn the meantime the mother, thoroughly scared, snatched the child up in her arms, and drove off with remark not alto gether complimentary to owners of bear cubs.
 She had scarcely gone when man drove up and Jimmy went out to meet him. Under the wagon was 8 well-bred collie, who in some respects showed better sense than the lady had done. He knew nothing of bears, and, while not cowardly, edged away from Jimmy until he had had a chance to

THE ORIGIN oF SEARCHING
First Used in Flanders and Introduced Into England with Ruff of
 Queen Elizabeth.

Starch originated in Flanders. It was introduced into England, with the big ruff, in the time of Queen Elizabeth. It was like our starch of to-day, except that it was made in colors-red, yellow, green and blue. The effect of this was to tint delicately the white linen to which the starch might be applied.
 Before Queen Elizabeth's time ruffies were made of fine holland, which re- quired no stiffening. Then, the ruffs of cambric came, and these must of neces- sity be starched. It is recorded that when then queen had ruffs made of lawn and cambric for her own royal wearing there was no one in England could tell how to starch them, but the queen made special inquiries for some woman that could starch, and Mrs. Guilham, wife of the royal coachman, was the first ~starcher
 Tn 1564 Flanders woman, Frau Van der Plasse, came to London and estab lished there school for the teaching of starching. The school succeeded, and the Flanders frau got rich. She charged s lesson and an extra 20 shillings for recipe for the making of starch out of wheat flour h~ar ord rco+s.

JIMMY AT PLAY.

ssize him up" Jimmy followed him with an assurance born of inexperi- ence, until the man, who wanted a nearer view of the cub, stepped out of, the wagon. Whether the sheep dog had completed his investigation. or whether the close proximity of his master increased his confidence in him. self, can't tell, but the mans foot had barely touched the ground before the collie sprang forward and caught the young bear by the nose. Jimmy. having received the same lesson he had just ad- ministered to the lady, acted in prac- tically the same way. That is, he moved with all haste away from the object of danger, with series of uncomplimen- tary remarks, in his own language. of course. He ran underneath the piazza to rub his sore nose with his fore paws, and, although he soon came out, nothing could induce him to approach the dog again.
 Tn the course of the morning, another dog arrived.-a big, good-natured fel- low, of no particular breed, black and tan in color. and with a pair of eyes and a tail which seemed to vie with one an- other in appearing pleased and happy. He and Jimmy looked at one another for a moment, and, as though mutual confidence was established on the in- stant, they strolled slowly up to each other. Then began friendly contest which lasted for fully half an hour, and which amused score of people who gathered about to witness it. Jimmy was the heavier, but the dog was more active, so. take 1t altogether, they were very evenly matched. At times they would stand up on their hind legs and wrestle like men, but soon they would fall over on the grass, and roll about, each trying to get the other under heath.
 Another of Jinmy's victims was a nervous young woman whose curiosity was even greater than her fear of the bear. She was more than plump, and Jimmy seemed, to take special fancy to her. She wanted to see everything that was going on but was constantly on the lookout lest the bear should come too close for comfort. By and by, how ever, when she saw the cub playing with a group of children at distance, her vigilance was relaxed, and she turned to talk with some of her friends. Suddenly there was wild scream, as Jimmy came at full speed from the rear and struck her like battering ram, knocking her feet clean from under her. She sat down with surprising suddenness, and Jimmy, having no time for retreat, was caught as in deadfall trap. thought for a moment that he had been killed, but 8 muffled waugh" announced the fact that he was still alive, and presently he crawled out of the wreck with rueful look at the plump young woman who had so nearly smothered him.

DIG GOLD DESPITE WAR.
Americans in Korea Said to Be Pros pering in Their operations-
 Last Years Profits.

According to a report received by the state department from the American legation at Seoul. Korea. the Korean gold mines controlled by the Orienta! Consolidated Mining company are pros pering wonderfully, in spite of their be- ing in the center of the war zone.
 A few weeks ago J. Sloat Fassett and H. D. Perkins, of New York, and Leigh Hunt, formerly of Portland, Ore, applied to the United States government for pro- lection for their property and employea in Korea. Tn answer to the represen- tations made by the state department the government was assured by both belligerents that the property was saft from molestation.
 The report received from the Ameri- can legation gives some figures from the annual report of the Oriental com. pany. It shows that the company con. trols 500 square miles of rich territory in northwest Korea under a concession obtained from the emperor by Leiga Hunt. They are operating eight mines besides number of tributary mines worked by Koreans. The total operat- ing profit for 1903 was $762,315.S4.
