PARlAH OF THE SKY LINE.


There is deal Of coyote hunting
in the west that is not attended by
the niceties of the club hunt. Ever
since the first pioneers pushed their
way across the great plains the coy
ote has been an outlaw, looking for
no mercy at the hand of man. His
predatory habits have made the ami
NAL the bane of the ranchman, and
his howl has made him the exaspera-
ton of the camper and the terror OF
the tenderfoot. Then, too, his habit
of skulking just within rifle range
has always made him tantalizing
target for the man with the rifle.
In spite Of his unpopularity with
all classes of men, however, the coy
ote has managed to hold his own
better than any other animal in the
great west. The antelope is swifter
of foot, mayhap, but, not having the
cunning of the coyote, has been
lured within rifle range until prac-
tically exterminated in many states.
The ranchman's lust for fresh meat,
the eastern tourists desire for
antlers and elk teeth and the native
who Stays for the market have de-
populated Colorado and several 9th
er states Of their best game. The
bear, cougar and bobcat have felt
the same blighting influence, but the
coyote still figures in the sky line Of
the average western picture. Some
times he is unwise enough to eat OF
poisoned carcasses Of cattle, but this
is seldom. Again, he falls victim
to a coyote ''drive," organized by
ranchmen and participated in by
townspeople, tenderfeet, newspaper
correspondents and amateur photog-
raphers. These coyote "drives" are
held annually or oftener in nearly
all western communities where the
prairie pest fourishes. An average
"drive," participated in by several
hundred individuals, will yield some
times none at all. A good deal de-
ponds on the wind, and more de-
ponds on the coyotes cunning and
ability to sprint. Outing.

corralling a Client.

A leading kings counsel recently
said at his club in London that he
was indebted for his rise in the
world to the active cooperation of
a humble but resourceful individ-
ual.
In the days when he was brief
less barrister he went one afternoon
to read in the Inner Temple library.
He had not been there long when
his small errand boy appeared,
greatly excited and breathless from
running.
IF you please, sir," the boy gasp
ed, "a gentleman is waiting for you
at the chambers with brief. He
can't get out, sir. I've locked him
in"
Together the barrister and the
boy hurried back to the chambers,
and the gentleman with q brief,
who was amused at his capture,
afterward became a most valuable
client.

RECOGNIZED His Genius.

A writer whose stories of south
ern life have made him famous
while on his way across the country
few years ago stopped for day
or two in one Of the large cities. The
reporter for the daily papers heard
of his presence in town and began
focking to the hotel. He sent word
to them that he had no desire to be
"interviewed," but he would see
them all together in his room if
they desired.
They came trooping in, and he
entertained them an hour or more
with stories and "reminiscences, told
in his. best style.
They listened with great interest,
and when he had come to the end
of them one of the reporters, a
young man who had just begun his
newspaper career, said, with the ut
most earnestness:
"Mr. c., why don't you write up
some Of those things and have them
printed? They'd 60 like hot cakes p

A Useful Ladder.

Among the peculiar "geniuses''
OF Byfeld, Mass, place to be re-
membefed, and of which J. L. Ewell
has written a book, was a man in
the north of the parish who was
asked by ladder vender if he would
like to buy.
Glow much are the ladders a
foot ?" he asked.
Twelve CENTS" was the answer.
Very WELL" said he, 3sI'll take a
foot"
The ladder vender jumped down
from his load, pulled down a ladder
and sawed off foot.
The purchaser took it, paid the
price and remarked quietly:
That's just what I've been want
ing to pick huckleberries with.

Cause For Tears.

Some friends were talking once
before a well known caricaturist OF
the effect of a powerful painting
upon the mind, and some one said
enthusiastically:
'The painter with his brush can
bring tears to the eye quite as well
as the poet with his Tyre"
sThat is indeed true" replied the
caricaturist. 81 was in -'s studio
yesterday, and he was showing me
one of his pictures, and, though
am not usually in the melting mood,
| wept for ten minutes"
"Ah! I had heard that was
treating a very pathetic subject.
And you found his wonderful
brush
ooh, that isn't it. He stuck his
wonderful brush in my eye while
gesticulating."

Saving
Money

We wish to call your atten-
ton to the desirability of saving
money. John D. Rockefeller
tells us that anyone can make
money;few can safe it. 1.-THE man
who is saving money Is build
ing character; he is acquiring
power. It is the man with char
acter and money who is able to
take advantage of Opportunity
when she knocks at his door.
It is the fixed habit of saving
something, no matter how small,
that counts. Persistent saving
creates a habit of life that is
fruitful in results. It is Russell
Sage's advice to young men to
save twenty-five cetns out of
every dollar earned-and stick
to it. But if you can't save
twenty-five cents save ten or
five; saversomething anyway.
The best way to save is to
start a bank account. Money in
your pocket is easily spent, but
money in the bank is out of
easy reach.
Did you ever think about the
power of interest? Do you
know that 81 deposited each
month will amount to $64.72 in
five years and to $l39.8O in ten
years at 8 per cent? That IS de-
posted each month will amount
to $324.8I in five years and to
$699.58 in ten years?. Think it
over, remembering meanwhile
that The SAN JUAN COUNTY
BANK is we'll equipped to care
for its large business; that it has
established a Banking by Mail
department, which it places at
your service, and that it receives
deposits from 81 up. It aims to
encourage thrift, to promote the
saving "habit." It would be
pleased to open an account with
you and to help you save.
An attractive little booklet,
Banking by Mall" will be
mailed upon request if you
mention this paper.

Wanamaler's Idea Of Advertising

Everybody has heard OF John Wan
amaker, the great merchant OF Phil
adelphia and New York, and how
he makes trade through the medium
of printers ink. Mr.. Wanamaker
was once the largest advertiser in
the country and his business was
growing at such a rate that Compel
itors were forced to initiate his meth
DDS of publicity if they expected to
remain above the surface. They went
into advertising and few have
had occasion to regret it. Mr.. Wan
amaker's ideas regarding advertis-
ing are summarized in the following
brief words s'There is only one way
to advertise, and that is to hammer
your name, your location, your bust
ness, so constantly, so thoroughly In
to the peoples heads that if they
walked in their sleep they would con-
stantly turn their faces toward your
store. The newspaper is your best
friend in spite of your criticism. 1t
helps to build up the community that
supports you. When the day comes
that newspapers are dead, the peo-
pie are near the edge of the grave
with no one to write their epitaph. :
