NO PLACE LIKE HOME
HOW THE ANIMALS RECOGNIZE
AND WELCOME MASTER.
Young Timber Wolves Are Good Pups
Now-Deer Has Greatly Changed
Buffalo Calves.

Written fer The Star
The writer had been to Boston, had just
made the seven mile stage drive from Leb-
anon to Meriden, n. H., and was now on
the last half of the two-mile. uphill walk
to Sunset Ridge" his home on the sunny,
western slope of the mountain, which runs
the length of the famous Blue Mountain
Forest known to many as Corbin Park.
Miles away the house is visible, for it Is on
higher ground than any other house in the
broad landscape Before 1t Is reached the
road going east almost runs into the park
fence but at this point turns sharply to the
north and follows the outline of the game
preserve Far away on the slope of the
mountain two deer are grazing on the edge
of the woodland.
AS | seldom see deer in this forest
now. without wondering if it Is Actaeon,
the one reared from babyhood, and which
| turned back to his native woods very
early in the spring, l wonder now If one or
these is he l put my hand TO my mouth,
and give n long, loud CALL and both deer
start and turn their heads toward me.
Recognized the Call.
For several seconds they stand thus,
like bronze statues, save that now and
then they switch their broad, white-border-
ed tails. call again, and one of the deer
throws up his tail, snorts and bounds to the
cover of the woodland. But the other stands
for another second then switches his tail
once more, and then moves toward me, first
at a trot and then at bounding gailop.
On he comes, switching his broad tail
from side to side; now and then giving

been finished but yesterday, so sound and
stanch it stands. In a green pasture just
this side of the barn a large black-and-
white Holstefn COW raises her. head to low
softly at me, and walks up to the bar. to
have her head rubbed as l go by. A very
important COW is this; she supplies the
milk for two husky buffalo calves which
l am bringing up by hand. Plenty OF
good rich milk she gives, and her vigorous
foster children drink it every drop.
The Young Timber Wolves.
In the open barn door. four puppies are
standing, all alert; they have been watch
ing me sharply ever since l came in sight.
They are gray, with black chins and short
brown ears, and they begin to bark rather
nerve usly until l call them. Come, pop
pets, comet" and with wagging tails and
sn ling little faces my four young timber
wolves, Death and "Dauntless" Fate"
and vengeance" come tumbling out to
see me. Oh, how excited they get as they
leap upon me! and when 1 stoep down TO
pet them, how they struggle and whine in
their efforts to lick my face.
Good little pups they at present but
what they will turn out to be in year
from now time alone will'tell. And Romu
luS, the prairie wolf, ereets me like long
lost cousin. Selling the skirts of my coat
in his teeth, and walking along by my side
as though he owned me bodily.
Two things l miss on this homecoming
the matchless smile of my great little fox,
THE Sprite,' and the rough but honest hug
of Jimmy" the black bear. But of their
going l shall have more to say hereafter.
In the meantime, they are the tawny,
vigorous, kicking, butting. plunging and
withal very innocent-looking buffalo calves,
waiting for me in the next fieId-waiting,
because six feet of strong wire fencing,
stretched upon stout posts will permit them
to do nothing else but wait. Surely,
There's no place like home''-no place like
some homes, anyhow.

Farmers No Longer Lonely.
the Kansas CITY Journal

From the Kansas city journal
Conditions have changed in relation to
the farmer No longer is he segregated
from his fellows. His is not now a con
dillon of irremediabe loneliness Of isola
ton. With the advent of the interurDan
trolley car, the telephone and ,hc rural
mail delivery the entire condition Of his eX
istence has changed. Today the farmer
has his daily newspaper, his added facill-
ties for correspondence and his telephone
that brings him within speaking distance
of his neishbors and the great outside
world. The nature of the farmer has
changed with the changed conditions that
man who is in constant touch with his
markets and is well vcTsed in the varying
circumstances of trade in the commodities
that he produces. The old days of lonei-
ness are gone forever. The man with the
noe has triumphed at last lie has come
into his own.

an unnecessary high leap over some bush
or stone which happens to be in his way,
showing that he has vitality to spare.
Presently he stops, looks around the
landscape unconcerned though he
had never seen me at all; then switching
his tail. he breaks into a trot again, and,
as he nears me, he stretches out his neck
and beats by way of recognition, l sup

stroke his pretty head, while he ticks my
hand with his long warm tongue
Greatly Changed in Appearance.
1 have not seen him for several weeks,
and he has greatly changed In appear
ance. He is shedding his brown winter
coat. The long hair has already fall
len from his face. making the muzzle APP
pear longer and more graceful. In fact,
the whole expression of the face is more
dainty and refined. Most Of the brown
hair of the body still remains, though 1t is
loose and comes out at the slightest pull,
but in many places, noticeably along the
top of the back and on the TANKS and
shoulders-places apt to be rubbed IN
passing through the woods-the thin red
summer coat shows through in patches.
There is another change, too, for on his
head are two budding antlers; dark,
smooth Jumps about an inch high some
what like large inverted thimbles; firm, but
not hard to the touch, and having sprink
ling of fine hair. AS l leave him and con-
tinue on my way, he follows along the
fence with lowered head, well knowing
that when he reaches the northwest gate,
which is near my house, some one will
come out and give him a lunch of bread or
raw potatoes, sliced
/: Nearing Home.
And now 1 turn bend in the road and
the house itself comes into full view. A
large white, two-story -and-a-half house 1t
is, built hundred years ago, and built to
stay. The great hewn beams which form
its frame, securely fastened together with
stout wooden pegs, are as sound today as
they were when they were set in place, and,
barring accidents, they will yet live to see
the birth and death Of several generations
of men.
. On the opposite side of the road there is
a big gray barn built long, long ago. in
the same thorough manner The weather
beaten boards which cover 1t have seen
their best days, but the frame might have

Lower Than Those Paid the Employees
of the District.

much as the former lowest grade of one

the increase now begins with those former
ly of the second grade. Workmen of all
grades enter upon a higher grade one year
earlier than under the former schedule.
The highest wages, those of the nfth grade,
can be reached III thirteen years. In the
lowest grade the wages commence with 81
cents per day and increase to 80 cents
I.aborers who have to perform specially
hard work will receive additional pay

cations are not to exceed six days These
provisions will also apply to the personnel

Placanda Est Chicago.

From London Punch.
Mr. Henry James. who is a visit to his ma
tive country and has been revising his estimate OF
the inhabitants, is reported to have expressed the
opinion that the American girl lacks eIusiveness
Ii is said that Chicago society particularly resents
this remark, and is preparing warm reception fol
its gifted author.
OH Henry James this is shock!

But you have. dealt a nastier knock
Than have ever had to bear!
Critics who like easy prey,
Have been from time to time abusive,
But none till now, was known TO say

We therefore wish to have few
Plain but emphatic words with you.

That captivates the British peer

Though stamped with various foreign stigmas.
Who doubts that We Of all the earth,
Present the most profound enigmas!
We take the view that this is not

How many features we possessed
Common to that elusive bird;
Brought up beneath the Stars and Stripes

You knew by heart the tye Of types,
How fire its nerve its brain how ninhle;

To agility of mind.
Yet you. whose art has nobly earned
The right of being misconstTued-

Expert in periphrastic fiction,
Whose devious characters abjure

Perhaps your brain was overweight
With Analysing womans lore
Over in London, where you caught

And own that what You said in haste

But make you sit, demure and meek,
Upon the penitential stool;
And all Chicago's pure elite

And you, before that awful bar,
