1T Is Second Nature to People of Good
Breeding.

If for no other reason than that coIlr-

just such situations good breeding shows

1t is then the bystander notes the
ease with which the courteous woman
gets exactly what she wants with no
pereeptible exertion. Quietly she makes
her way through the crowd; in low
voice she tells the shop woman what
she wishes to see, makes her selection,
pays and gets her change, while the
other contestants are angrily disputing
over some bit of stuff, each determined
to conquer.
And the well-bred woman avoids any

questions to be settled, does she go di-

First Gasoline Auto.

The first gasoline automobile run sue
cessfully in this country was that in
vented by Elwood Haynes of Kokomo,
Ind, who still has the machine in his
possession. 1t was merely a motor at
tached to Il one-seated buggy, and Mr..
Haynes succeeded, after a great deal of
difficulty, in getting Il speedy of twenty
miles an hour out of the machine. 1t
was generally the case that, when he
undertook II spin along Il country road,
he stalled in the mud or at the foot of a
hill. and had to furnish the motive power
from a broad pair of shoulders. Mr..
Haynes enjoys many Il hearty laugh now
as he thinks over his first experience
with the vehicle, and of the anxiety of
his neighbors, and frankness compels the
statement that they had little confidence
i'll his ''contraption," which he ran up
and down the street, hours at time,
pushing it much of the way, and his
soundness of mind fell under grave sus-
picions after time. 1t requires no wild
stretch of the imagination to conceive
what Il sorry figure the pioneer machine
would make in a race of the present day.
Its construction was of the crudest and
most bunglesome character, but it was
the demonstration of an idea Mr.. Haynes
had long thought oyer-that buggy
could be made to run as well as trac-
ton engine. He thought for long time
about a steam buggy. The relic is one

Ranchers Find 80 Elk in Enclosure.

The spectacle of thirty elk inside an
enclosure is something rarely seen in
this country, but nevertheless such a
sight has been witnessed by several Of
cur ranchers recently, and within a few
miles of Pinedale.
Mrs. NJ. j. Westfall has a school sec
ton near the head of Willow creek,
which is entirely fenced, making an en-
closure mile square. This is we'll up
in the mountains, and recently the gate
was left open. which is near the trail,
with the result that the elk entered.
Uncle George Smith and a party of
riders, who were out rounding up their
beef cattle, found it necessary to ride
this pasture, and rode right into the
herd, which Immediately fled and fol-
lowed the line of the fence, making no
attempt to go through.
The riders were without weapons and
contented themselves with watching the
bunch for some time. and then proceed
ed on their way. Ordinarily an elk will
go through barbed wire fence and scatter
it for great distances, but this bunch did
not. Great damage is often done to the
fences of ranchers by these animals

Montana Mountaineer's Dog Wolf.

l was smoking my pipe in the cabin of
an old timer who lives on Muddy Creek
in southeastern Montana when I han
pened to look out of the window and
saw an animal pass by that for n mo-
ment | took TO be a red wolf.
| said to the old man: What have Won
got out thereY and he replied. Yes. I
am glad you spoke about that: wanted
you to see them pups" Then, while we
walked out of doors, he told me that he
had q litter of six pups half gray wolf
and half ordinary domestic dog, and thar
he had two of these puppies still about
the house, the other four having been
given away.
The wolf-like animal. with four or five
other dogs, was standing near Il wagon
close to the house. and when called gal
loped cheerfully to us. wagging its tail
and twisting its body, and thrust its nose
into the hand of each of us, seeming to
enjoy the pats and caresses that it re-
ceived. In color it was reddish. some
what the color of the summer coat of Il
deer, yet hardly so bright; there was
more of a brown in ii. On the tail the
hair lay parallel to the skin and did not
stand out as it does on the brush of a
fox or the tail of Il wolf or coyote. On
the other hand, the shape of the creature
was that of Il gray wolf, which it also
equalled in size.
These pups are great thieves, and
things have to be kept out of their way
or they will steal them. They cannot
bark. Sometimes they appear to try t.
do so. and break out into regular wolf
howl--ForeSt and Stream.

STOPS CLEVER JAIL DELIVERY.
Constable Sits on Roof of Bastile Till

Constable Otto IT. Kruger cf Cudahy.
Wis, is brave man. Alone and unaid-
ed he prevented a delivery at the Cuda-
ny Jail recently, thwarting the attempt
until aid reached him. and he did it by
sitting on the Jail roof.
w. II. Coleman was responsible for it
al. Mr.. Coleman was sentenced to ten
days for drunkenness, which he was or.
dered to serve in the Cudahy bastile.
Now this bastile is a cozy little affair, a
sort OF cross between a dry goods box
and molasses barrel. 1t is reinforced
with a paddock

hectively, the other morning, as he drew
on his trousers and pinned on his bright
brass star, Il think I'll go over and see
WEether Mr.. Coleman wants eggs or
pancakes for breakfast.
When he reached the jail, the CON
stable was surprised to behold Coleman's
head protruding from between the Jail
roof and the side of the structure 1t
eqdlred but a glance to show the officer
that Jail delivery was being carried
out. Mr.. Coleman, firing of confinement,
had lifted the Jail roof like the top of a
Noah's ark, and was on the point of de-
parting
Never hesitating, the constable leaped
to the jail roof and sat upon it with all
his might until his cries for help brought
relnforcements. Then he transferred Mr..
Coleman to the county JAIL
