THE GRAY WOLF.
His Cunning Is Marvellous, and He Il
Difficult to Catch.

His Cunning Is Marvellous, and He Il
Difficult to Catch.
The cunning Of the gray wolf is mar
yelous, and it is most difficult to catch
mapping. He somehow seems to
know that iron is associated with man.
A piece of iron anywhere will keep
him at a distance. If you shoot an
antelope, for instance, and just put
your spur on the carcass you may leave
1t as long as you like and no wolf will
touch it. A pocket handkerchief will
do as we'll.
Lobo, a great gray wolf who was
che king of the pack at Currumpaw, a
vast cattle range in New Mexico, was
q thinker as well as ruler. His pack
ate nothing but what they had killed
themselves, and thus poison was no
good. At last a thousand dollars was
set upon his head. This brought
noted wolf hunter from Texas, with
his pack of great wolfhounds. But
again there was failure. Then two
other hunters came with subtly devils
ed poisons to work his undoing. Then
I came on the scene. First 1 tried
poison, and there was no combination
Of strychnine, arsenic and prussic acid
which 1 did not use. I put the poisons
in cheese melted together with kidney
fat, and during the whole process I
wore gloves STEPPED in hot blood. And
I scattered the bait all over the ranch.
The next morning 1 went out and
found Lobo's tracks, with the bait
gone. / was delighted. / followed the
track and found another bait gone
and yet another Then 1 found the
three bats piled upon another one and
covered with filth. Lobo had evidently
carried the first three In his mouth
and had taken this means of express
ing his utter contempt for my devices.
But Lobo's downfall came about
through big white she wolf who was
always with him. managed to catch
her in trap. Then knew we should
soon have Lobo. Night after night he
came around the homestead and mourn
ed his mate in long, plaintive bowls.
knew he would try to find her body.
1 set $50 strong steel wolf traps, and
in one of these I caught him-a mar
tyr to constancy. And that was the
end Of Lobo.-Interview With Ernest

have seen in London only one office
where there is any real enthusiasm.
And the employees seldom have any in
terest in the business beyond drawing
their salaries. In most Of the factories,
and even in the offices, they are taught
a certain round Of duties, and they are
allowed to do nothing else. They sell
dom suggest improvements for fear Of
losing their places, where in America
they'd soon lose their places if they
didn't make suggestions. Here it's the
firm in its private offices and every
body else doing as little as possible and
never stepping out Of the rut they're

certain details and hobbies that he loses
sight of the main thing, the Navy. His
perspective becomes blurred and his ad-
ministration is failure, or his depart
ment is at best run by subordinates.
There have been Secretaries of the Navy
who became so lost in the intricacies of
the ordnance problems that grave abuses
have fourished in other bureaus all un-
known to the head. There have been
Secretaries of War who adopted hobbies
which monopolized their time and
thoughts to the exclusion of many of the
alrger problems and interests of their de-
partments and the President has become
convinced that the all around good man
without any technical experience makes
the best cabinet officer. and those who
have enjoyed the best opportunities for
observation are convinced that he has hit
upon great truth, susceptible of wide
application.

Toothache is something to be dread
ed. Until dentist can be consulted
and the exact cause of the disturbance
located and professionally treated it is
an excellent thing to moisten the finger
and, after dipping it into some bicar-
Donate of soda, rub it on the gum round
the sore tooth. 1t is also relief to
mix teaspoonful of this bicarbonate
of soda in half glass of warm water
and rinse the mouth with some every
little while, holding a little in the
mouth for few seconds so that it
penetrates all the crevices. The soda.
being an alkah, serves to neutralize the
acids in the mouth, which are often the
cause of toothache.

The Wickedness of Growing Old.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
of old age: Selfishness, stagnation, in
tolerance.
If we find them in ourselves we may
know we are growing old, even if we
are on the merry side of thirty. But,
happily, we have three defenses, which
are invulnerable. If we use them we
shall die young if we live to be hun
bred. They are: Sympathy progress,
tolerance.
The first is the hardest to most of
us, because our own little prison of
the actual is so immensely important to
us. There is no denying the fact that
when you have toothache yourself 1t
is hard to have to consider other peo-
pies aches. But it can be done. though
it generally involves physical effort, for
we must bestir ourselves and act. The
mere feeling of sympathy expressed by
action is a poor, useless thing, but the
soul, determined not to grow old. can
force the body to such physical effort,
though there is no denying that it is
hard work.-Harper's Bazaar.

A German epicure comes to the rescue

eggs, he says, are simply preserved in

somewhat like lobster. He declares
them one of the choicest delicacies he

The new Secretary of the Navy, Col
onel Charles Bonaparte, was sworn in
Saturday morning. and Mr.. Paul Morton
turned over to his successor the Seal Of
the Department. Friday the new Secre-
tary held little reception at which he
met the various chiefs of bureaus for each
of whom he had pleasant word. 1t is
generally expected that Mr.. Bonaparte
will make an excellent Secretary of the
Navy, despite-perhaps because-he has
no technical knowledge of naval affairs.
That may sound peculiar, but it is, never
less true. The great essential of a cabinet
member, in these days of specialties, is
common sense. The second sine qua non
is administrative ability. The secretary
who takes charge of department with

OLD PAPERS FOUND
War Orders Recovered
From Tree After 40
Years Hid.

While out hunting the past
week Mr.. Jake Sharp made find
ofpapers pertaining to the civil war
which are at least very interest
ing to those who delight TO delve
in the past and especially in the
period in which this great in
ternescene tragedy occurred.
The papers were found in a
hollow tree on the river bank
north of this city and are we'll
preserved. They appear to be
part Of a record book detailing
the movements of the Confeder-
ate forces in this State and copies
of order after order issued for the
movement of troops are present
ed. The leaves are yellow with
age and the writing bears every
mark Of being genuine.
Just how these papers came
there and what was the purpose
in hiding them will, perhaps, re-
main forever mystery. Old cit
zens who are familiar with the
movement of troops in this Sec
ton fail to account for it and
prominent Confederate veterans
who participated in the fights in
this State are equally ignorant of
the motive and the occasion for
the concealment of these reports.
Beyond the fact that they are
genuine their history must for
ever be shrouded in mystery.
The papers are valuable collec-
ton and will be preserved by
their owner.
