ROOSEVELT AMONG DOGS.
Not the Ordinary Kind, But Those
That Run Wild on the
Prairies.

The coursing was done on the
flats and great rolling prairies, which
stretched north from our camp toward
the Wichita mountains and south toward
the Red river, says Theodore Roosevelt,
in Scribner's. There was a certain ele.
ment of risk in the gallops, because the
whole country was one huge prairie
dog town, the prairie-dogs being SO MI.
merous that the new towns and the
abandoned towns, were continuous with
one another in every direction.
Practically every run we had was
though these prairie-dog towns, varied
occasionally by creeks and washouts.
But as we always ran scattered out, the
wonderfully quick COW ponies, brought
up in this country and spending all their
time among the prairie-dog towns, were
able, even while running at headlong
speed, TO avoid the holes with a clever
ness hat was simply marvellous.
During our hunt, but one horse
stepped in a hole; he turned a complete
somerset, though neither he nor
his rider was hurt. Stunted mesquite
bushes grow here and there in the grass,
and there was cactus.

N N OF THE COYOTE.
Sharp and Wary Creature Accord
ing to President Roosevelt
in His Writings.

These southern coyotes, or prairie
wolves, are only about one-third the
size of the big gray timber wolves OF
the northern Rockies, writes Theodore
Roosevelt, in Seribner's. They are too
small to NEEDLE with full-grown horses
and cattle, but pick up young calves
and kill sheep as well as any small
domesticated animal that they can get
at. The big wolves fee from the
neighborhood of anything like close
settlements, but coyotes hang around
the n~eighborhood OF man much more
persistently. They show a fox-like
cunning in catching rabbits, prairie
dogs, gophers, and the like.
After nightfall they are noisy, and
their melancholy wailing and yelling
are familiar sounds to all who pass
over the plains. The young are brought
forth in holes in cut banks or sim
liar localities. Within my W ex'
p~erience | have known of the finding
of but two families. In n there was
but a single family of five cubs and
one old animal, undoubtedly the moth
err; in the other case there were 10 or
l. cubs and two old females, which
had apparently shared the burrow or
cave, though living in separate peck
cts.
In neither case was any full-grown
coyote found in the neighborhood; as
regards these particular filters, tho
father seemingly had nothing to do
with taking care Of or supporting the
family. | am not able to say whether
this was accidental or whether it Is
n rule that only the mother lives with
and takes care of the litter; | have
heard contrary statements about the
matter from hunters who should
know. Unfortunately | have learned
from long experience that it is only
exceptional hunters who can be trust
cd to give accurate descriptions of
the habits of any beast, save such

Coyotes are sharp, wary, knowing

care to keep out OF harms way.

Coughing Saves Your Life.

A cough is the response to a danger

WANTED TO BE MISTAKEN.
President Roosevelt Thought He

A story which shows that President
Roosevelt does not regard himself as

have a republican constituent appoint.
ed to the $4,000 postmastership of a
town within his jurisdiction, and used
his official innuence with the president
to this end.
The president for some reason did
not think much of the senator's choice,
and appointed another a more to
his liking-and a democratic the
post.
Well" said the senator, as he told
the story, the fellow has turned out
to be a mighty poor postmaster, &C.

few weeks ago | had a personal inter.
view with Mr.. Roosevelt on an i'm.

told him, just before leaving, how his
postmaster had turned out. He ap-
peared to be considerably surprised
and disappointed at what | said; and
replied, in his enthusiastically i'm.
pulsive way:
"'Well senator, I am sorry | did
not heed your advice and select the
man of your choice. But, then, you
must let me make a mistake every

Where Mocha Is Raised

The raising Of Mocha coffee is done
by Arabs out in the mountainous coun-
try of Arabia, where no white man has
ever been, and statisticians and ctop
~torecasters are unknown. There are
no extensive plantations out there as
we know them in other places. but
each Arab has his own few bushes
around MS little house, and raises
enough cofee for his W use and a
little for trading for other commodi-
ties. 1t thus becomes a difficult and
slow process to collect from hundreds

PIGEON FLIES WITH TRAIN.
Singular Habit That an Old HON.
ing Bird in Belgium Has
Fallen Into.

Homing pigeons are the craze In
England just now, and on one recent
Saturday between 200, 900 and 900, 900
birds were released in various compe-
titions.
A number of these were raced to
London from Retford and Branston.
The distances are 1877 and 113 miles.
respectively, but no birds of the sew
eral thousand released made the trip
in the traditional mile a minute, al
though every circumstance of wind
and weather was favorable to record
breaking.
Much better time was made in a con
test from Templecombe to London, in
which one bird made the 10S miles in
"a minutes, an average Of So miles an
hour, and mor than 100 exceeded a
speed of 60 miles an hour.
One Of the oldest homers is a bird
which makes its home around the rail
way station at Liege, in Belgium.
There is a train from Liege to War
emme which starts every morning at
ten o'clock.
As soon as the train pulls into the
station the bird commences to circle
in the air and as soon as headway is
gained follows the train 10 its destina-
ton, returning Immediately home,
where it flies about the station for the
rest of the day.
1t pays no attention to any other of
the trains and no one is able to offer
explanation as to why this partlc-
ular train should be favored.

Sold Out.

One of N%antucket's summer visitors
strolled into the little shop kept by an
old man, a native of the place.
In looking about she found a kind OF
linen cloth which she bought for fancy
work. Some friends who saw and
liked 1t went to the shop and pur-
chased all that remained.

stock and bought more Of the same
