They made way with a fish steak and few slde dishes. and sat talking for haif an hour over their cigars.

s might be expected there is war in ianapolis over the colored vote We r know just how many negro vot-
 there are in that city, but as there not very large Republican major
 the detection of any considerable
 eentage of that vote would defeat
 Republican municipal ticket. The vs, practically charges that the ne- es of the city are to be numbered election day and counted of and ed like so many dumb creatures.
 # course the Republican Star denies
 soft impeachment with more or Vehemence. It pats the colored thFen on the back. tells them what splendid and incorruptible citizen ship they represent and assures them that 1t has no doubt of their loyalty to Epe Republican party. It is amusing to see Republicans coddling negroes when an election is to the fore and forgetting them as soon as the votes are counted. Indianapolis is no ex- ceptton among Northern cities.

In the last few weeks elections have been held in the following counties: DeKaib, Chambers, Clay, Randolph,
 Tallapoosa, Blount. Coosa, Monroe. Lee and St, Clair on the question of local taxation for schools. Of these, friends of the tax succeeded by good majori-
 ties in all of the counties except De- KaIb and Lee. In DeKalb County the campaign for a bond issue was on at the same time, and this is responsible for the defeat of the local tax measure there. In October elections will be held in Butler and in Baldwin coun- ties. The local authorities in these counties believe the prospects are good.

Home People the Ones to Build Town

When a town grows it gets its im- pulse from the enterprise of It's citi- zens, not from any outside boost. Some folks think. however, that the outsiders bounce down upon a town and make 1t grow despite the disposition of its citizens. This Is a mistake, and one made too often by property owners. The people who live in a town are the to profit by the increase in rentals and property values, and should aid with energy and money every effort to ad- vance its growth.

A Rift i'm the Cloud.

A winter day.
 Yet a summer sun
 Peeps through a rift in wonder cloud A lonely robin, shivering, Bursts into song, clear, sweet and loud He upward looks from hill and plain And needless thinks 'tis spring again A darkened life.
 Unrequited love,
 Across the street a laughing face. A song floats outward nnerrily- One sad hearts lighter for a space She quite forgets the world of pain And thinks that life is bright again.

Japan's Victory.

MOhiIe Register.
 The only criticism of the treaty made by the Japanese is that 1t failed to se- cure to Japan the protection against Russian aggression that was sought by the waging of a long and bloody war. We see now, and the Japanese will see, that Japan has obtained what she started out to obtain. and, at the same time. has left Russia with no ground for seeking what the French call ''revanche"@ or new trial on bet ter terms at some future date.

MANY WOLVES IN VERMONT.
Animals Becoming So Thick md Bold
That Farmers Are Alarmed.

That Farmers Are Alarmed.
Much to the establishment and anx-
lcty Of residents of Windsor, Rutland,
Orange and Washington counties, In
Vermont, wolves are making their ap.
pcarance this fall and in several re
gions town hunts have been organized
10 rid the communities of the danger
Gus beasts, says a special dispatch
from Northfeld, VT. to the New York
World Thus far several have been
killed. but they continue to increase
For many years wolves have been
considered extinct, and when Graf
ton man declared he saw one three
years ago the report was taken with n
grain Of salt. This SO incensed the
Grafton man that he spent n week
hunting the animal and finally brought
1t to the village In triumph, where 1t
was seen to be genuine specimen.
Since then the wolves have been breed
Ing and farmers fear that they will
soon become mighty troublesome un,
less meas res are promptly taken to
exterminnte them.
The increase Is laid to the fact TINT
q few years ago the wolves were driv.
en- southwark from Canada and be-
cause the state decided about this time
to remove the bounty on all noxious
animals. Then. too. deer have been in
crcasing. and young fnwns make ex-
, ceIlent feeding for lone wolves. When
the animals travel in packs they have
no difficulty In overcoming a buck.
Within the last few week. wolves
have been seen In Barnard, Waits
field, Grafton, Gaycsville, Chittenden.
Pittslield md in several other towns.
In three Instances they have been
killed, but In the others they escaped.
Last spr;ns n farmer named Purdy,
who lives III Northam, found In the
woods near his place what he thought
were two shepherd puppies. They werp
about three weeks Old and he had no
difficulty in catching them. He had
the little fellows in his arms and was
starting home with them when he was
ferociously attacked by an old She
wolf and was badly bitten in the leg
before he could beat the beast Off
This Is the only case where a wolf
has attacked man, but two children
have been set upon, and countless
sheep have been killed. For time the
town authorities laid the depredations
to dogs, and II is believed that they
paid damages in several instances
where wolves were to blame. For the
most part tho wolves keep well back
in the mountains during the daytime
coming down to the pastures only al
night This makes hunting them cx
tremely difficult and accounts for th
small success the farmers have had r.
exterminating them. Up to the pre-
ent they have not become numero,
enough to hunt In packs. but they vii
shortly unless some concerted actor
be taken to kill them Off. Concern Is
felt for children in the remote dis
tricts, who frequently have to trave'
over long. lonesome woodland stretches
In order to reach the district schools.
