KILLING PRAIRIE WOLVES.

Indian Boy, Initiating Their Cry,
Brings Them in Range of His Rifle.
We struck out across the sandy bed |
of the lower end of Death Valley to-
ward a low range of blue-gray hills, |
where Bob said there were lots of coy
otes and foxes. 1t was at least three
miles over the hills and the shadows
of night were falling when we drop
ped down behind a huge lava colored
boulder in the head of a little draw
down which the wild hogs were said
to come.
Midway down the shallow canyon
was a patch of green grass, fed, L sup
pose, by some thermal spring that rose
almost to the sulface and then sank
away again into the myriad under
ground streams that sap this whole sec
ton. Perhaps fifteen minutes passed
and there came, windborne and weak.
from far across the valley, the call
of a wandering coyote-and then hap
pened one of the most utterly novel
things 1 have ever known. Putting
his hands to his lips, Bob let go per
feet imita ton of the coyotes cry; a
moment passed, and from some closer
point than the last one another little
wolf answered him Again and again
he called, and again and again came
the answer; then another and yet an
other Joined in. until a perfect circle
of the wild dogs were crying around
us. and still they did not discover the
deception.
/ began to fear it was some trick
to decoy me into the hands of a band
of Piutes. but just then a shadow,
only the least bit less black than the
surrounding night, swung suddenly
around a huge stone some thirty feet
beyond Bob, and, neither seeing nor
smelling us, the timid little wolf stood
for an instant as If carved in stone.
Silent as a snake in the desert grass,
vet with deadly certainty of his prey
that made me SILVER, the half-breed
turned over so as to get his right arm
free to act. For a moments space
there was a silence, then ever so light
a sound, and, although l saw nothing,
heard next to nothing. the coyote leap
over once and fell to lie silent in his
tracks.
Attracted by the cry. another of the
band trotted out into a little patch of
light cast by the now rising moon, just
in time to stop the bullet from my
rifle OF course, the report of the gun
stopped the sport for the night in that

HOW TO TRAIN a SON.
Judge Parker's Mother Tells of the
Teaching of His Boyhood.

reaching or his BOynOOd.
Mrs. Harriet Stra ton Parker has
succeeded, according to the representa-
tives of great party, in the ambition
of every mother with a son, that of
fitting him for the highest position in
the land. Judge Parker's tribute to
the teaching and example of his pa
rents is: whenever 1 am sorely per-
picked it is my custom instnctively to
think what my father or mother would
do in my case" In telling the story of
the presidential nominees early train
ing his mother said:
Il woke him up every morning, BIZ
BILE in hand, and taught him a verse
before he got out of his little cot
Il trusted the boy, but his father
and 1 kept an eye on him just the
same. Trust him, but watch him has
been my motto with children.
1--WE didn't whip him much-he
didn't need it. We never threatened
him. If he offended he was punished
at once, and that was the end of it.
I'VE are a family of farmers. and
my son was early taught to take as
much interest in the farm as his pa
rents. He was taught to be serious,
and the seriousness of work appealed
to him.
Before Alton was s years old 1 be-
gan taking him to the Presbyterian
Church, five miles away.
L believe in boys having pets, al
though my son never had any other
pets than the horses. cows, pigs and
sheep on the farm.
'.Of course, my boy didn't smoke or
drink while under our charge. He
smokes now.
1--WE took pains to interest the boy
in Abraham Lincoln.
HE took but little interest in girls.
You might say he was too serious for
young girls. He changed his mind and

my son is not son to worry over.
He has good health and will make the

Most women buy their children's
shoes by inches instead of by sizes,
says the head clerk of one Chicago
