 The first experiment in ridding Mon tana ranges of coyotes by means of an infection will be made in Teton and Chouteau counties. Dr. B. M. Knowles, under whose direction the experi- ments are being made, tonight ship ped as many coyote to Teton county and one to Chouteau. They will be turned out on the range by men who will endeavor to watch results and make report on them.
 At the last session of the legislature an appropriation was made for the pur- pose of making an experiment in kill ing coyotes and wolves on the ranges by inoculating them with mango. Sev- eral months ago Dr. Knowles secured seven young coyotes. During their confinement two died, but the others are husky They have all been inocu- lated with mango, the two that have been sent to Teton and Chouteau show ing the disease In a pronounced form. Two of the three that are still in con finement show the disease in marked way, but the third, while inoculated appears to be immune so far. Under the law, the animals are to be turned loose in different parts of the state.
 "The matter Is an experiment, says Dr. Knowles, "and I have hopes that it will prove a successful one. My only fear is that the coyotes l turn out may

Taking Chances.

From Lippincott's.
 A small boy had been punished. and in consequence was feeling at enmity with all the world, but with his father in par ticular. When he came to say his prayers at night he gabbled through them at a high rate of speed, and while asking for the customary blessing on all the other members of the family, including the cat, he left out his offending parent.
 His mother understood, but thought it best to appeal to his better self
 Harold" she said sweetly, what about papa? You forgot, dear"
 Why, Harold! when you love him SO? Just think, dear. papar has gone down town now. and how would you feel if he got lost or hurt because you hadn't prayed for him?''
 This rather worked on the boys mind, and slowly he began to chamber out of bed when, just as he got on his knees, he heard the familiar click of his fath- CTS key in the lock 'I guess I'll risk it." he announced. and quick as a wink jumped back into bed.

FREEZE CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
Deputy Sheriff Finds Cold Storage
 Only Relief From Ma.ady.

From the Cleveland Leader.
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Ed Horn is spend ing several hours daily in cold storage in a brewery.
 It is not that Horn likes beer or that he has a particular desire to be in cold stor- age It's just because the hay fever season is here and the only relief Horn can find is when he spends an hour or two each day in the refrigerator.
 Now the real time for hay fever spells is from 10 a. m. until noon The patient feels ugly, wants to kill something. sneezes and the scalding water gushes from his nose and eyes. So Just at 10 every morning Horn lays aside his pen and rushes off to the plant of the Co., lumbia Brewing company, where by spe- cial arrangement he is let into the cold storage room. An hour or two hours he spends among the ammonia pipes until his blood is chilled. his fingers and toes benumbed, and the million little devils in his nose are frozen stiff He comes out with icicles a foot long hanging from mustache, eyebrows, coat sleeves, and trouser legs.
 Its the only relief I can find and still have time for business. I hope to be cured soon." said Horn.

Divorce in Burmah.

 There is something to be said for Bur nah. If the Burmese husband and the Burmese wife come to the conclusion that they have injudiciously increased the marriage rate their procedure is sim- pie and direct
 The wife does not go to her solicitor. but to the tallow candler. From him she obtains two little candles. These she brings home. and she and husband sit down on the floor. placing the candles between them. One candle represents the husband one the wife. They are lighted at the same moment. and the owner of the one which goes out first leaves the house. taking only his CT her clothes, while the owner of the more enduring candle remains. also the owner of the house and all that therein Is.
 Thus divorce becomes simple and charming It will be observed that the wife always selects the candles.

Still, I have hope, as this is the breeding season, that my dis eased animals will get around some before they meet death by the poison route.
