WOLF STORIES.
Wierd Tales as Given by the Pap.
ers Cause Much Worry.

Every day letters are being received
In the county from people in neigh
boring states who wish to come and
rid Duluth and the range towns of
packs of wolves which. from accounts
in the papers, are rowing the streets
by hundreds and menacing the lives
of the citizens.
The larger part of the blood-curd-
ling wolf tales are inspired by space
writing reporters and they leave the
oppression, in the country east and
south Of US, that life is one continual
howl and of lew days on account of
the wolves.
The strangest part of the large
number of stories that are being given
to the reporters is, that notwith-
standing the statement that every
man seeing a wolf is pictured as being
chased and freed by hungry pack
numbering dozens, occasionally a
NANCY solitary brute is captured.
The county auditor is paying $40
bounty on full grown wolves every
week. Several men are in the woods
making it business to catch wolves
but those brought in are few and
far between considering the large
number said to be infesting the
county. The bounty should surely
be incentive enough for wolf hunt.

The Big Fork Hunter.

Now friends, just read this poem
and I'll tell you of a scheme that was
Matched by a homesteader on section
seventeen. For four long weeks his
table was not graced with bite Of
meat. Says lie, "I've hit upon a plan
those wary deer to beat" So lie
strapped a cowbell to his neck, went
through the woods with mighty
bound, till at last one silly fawn
Glanced to stop and look around. He
brought his gun up to his shoulder,
the day being bright and clear with
his 4O-6O blunderbuss lie Stayed this
little deer.
Now says this foxy hunter, III
hungry 90 no more, nor will l tramp
around those Dogs until my feet are
sore. but will take my little cowbell,
and when daylight begins TO dawn
soon beside my shanty door, I'll hang
another fawn."
Now this bell and decky savage
| roams about the woods at will, seek
ing chance to devour, some easy game
to kill. If you would see him III his
shanty tanning a muskrat hide, you
would think that he was Dahlel
Boone or some old trapper guide.
Now we don't want to- say a word
nor yet raise any row, but another
farmer in this town has lost the bell
from off his cow, and if Willy dor't
return it he will never more be seen
in his little homestead shanty in
lsixty-two-seventeen,

fer Government Checks to
Bank Drafts.

Chicago-Chicagoa have acquired
the post Office money order habit, &C
cording to Postmaster Coyne. His re-
cent monthly statement shows a re-
markable increase in the money order
business since he took charge of the
Office in 1901.
Thereh as been an increase of nearly
s23,000,000 year in the money order
business, both foreign and domestic,
since 1901, and each month shows new
gains in that branch of the business.

the growth by the fact that the people
of Chicago were using the post Office
money order system in preference to
the banks. -
''The people Of Chicago are now in a
position to appreciate the large
amount of business which is transact
ed by the Chicago post Office" said
Mr.. Coyne. ''They have acquired the
money order habit and the wonderful
growth in that branch shows it.

compiled statistics showing the in
crease since | took my office in 1901.

ness has gained"
