When Roosevelt Hunted the Coyote.

| The coursing was done on the
fats and great rolling prairies
which stretched north from our
camp toward the Wichita noun
tains and south toward the Red
river. There was certain ele'
ment of risk in the gallops, be-
cause the whole country was one
huge prairie dog town, the prai-
rie dogs being SO numerous that
the new towns and the abandon
ed st0wns were continuous with
one another in every direction.
Practically every run we had was
through these prairie dog towns,
varied occasionally by creeks
and washouts. But as we always
ran scattered out the wonderful
ly quick cow ponies, brought up
in this country and spen ding al
their time among the prairie dog
towns, were able, even while rum
ming at headlong speed, to avoid
the holes with cleverness that
was simply marvellous. During
our hunt but one horse stepped
in a hole; he turned complete
somersault, though neither he
nor the rider we're hurt. Stunted
mesquite bushes grew here and
there in the grass, and there was
cactus.-From "a Wolf Hunt in

MADISON. SOUTH DAKOTA.

The primary election bill was the
canse of wrangle in the South Dakota
senate which called out good deal Of
bad blood In the report of the senate
committee Senators Cassill and Shober
were reported to have appeared ON the
primary petition twice. They presented
resolution of personal privilege in
which the rules committee of the senate
was attacked and demanded an oppro-
tnnty of explaining why their names
did SO appear on the petition. Lawson
objected ON the ground that the motion
was out of order; that ihe matter was
not u proper question of privilege; that
they were simply taking an opportunity
to play politics, and that the resolution
was disiespectful of the committee
This called out responses from Cassil II
and Rice. and Abel stated that the sol
ate was willing to hear the explana
tions. but the resolution as present Il
was a reflection on the committee ard
the majority of the senate who voted 10
indorse 1t. The president ruled that
the resolution would not be received,
for the reason that the committee rf-
GENTLY stated ths facts, but that explai
ations of duplication of names would be
in order. Shober insisted and appea' a'el
from the ruling, with motion to aG-
Journ on the pant of Lawson. and the
session ended in a general wrangl
Iwith Rice. Lawson, Toy and the presi
dent mixed up, and which came near
ending in personal encounter hetwet n

HINTS ON FASHIONS.
Styles In Belts, Handkerchiefs and
waisteoats For Men.

Belts for spring and summer for men
will be seven -eighths and one inch wide
and be made as plainly as possible,
says the Haberdasher. Tan pigskin
and black calf are old favorites, while
seal, morocco and whale skin are also
used to some extent in fine belts. The
ornamentation lies only In the buckles,
square and oval, which are of dull
finished gold plate polished gold plate
and also oxidized and gun metal to ac-
company black belts
Colored handkerchiefs will still be
smart for spring, and the linen article
will be a shade smarter than the silk
and linen mixture. Hello, blue, tan,
sky, pistache, black and white and
nankin are dainty, while grounds bear
ing plaids, jacquard figures, gradual
ed spots and fleur-de-ls are pleasing
Fancy waistcoats will be as proper
as ever, but the trend is away from
brown, which has been done to death,
and toward more springlike shades,
such as corn and biscuit. They are
cut q bit higher to accord with the
mode of the new season. While the
general leaning Of fashion is to bright
ness and color, there are no signs that
spring is to upset in any sense the ac-
cepted standards.

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system7 If so, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn to purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? If So
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
tho skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect,
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
can not help but benefit every part OF
the human machinery.
