THE SKY SIGNS or PARIS.
Of Late Years the City Has Broken Out Overhead in Electric
 Illuminations.

The other evening l was dining with Parisian who had been abroad for several years, and asked him what had impressed him most on his re- turn, says a writer in St. James Gazette. When I went away peo. pie called tea tilleul,' and drank it when they were i'll. They had ney. CT hearl the name of toast in those days, and pains grilles' were things to be eaten sparingly with chocolate after the theater. AS for the eiec tric sky signs, they make me- quite giddy on the boulevards now It is quite true. Paris, of late years, has broken out everywhere into electric sky signs, and if the craze for them continues it will be useless for shop to advertise it's whereabouts except with lettering which can be illumi- hated at night. On the Place de POpera and all along the boulevards the sky signs twinkle in and out like gigantic caterEillars in made Christ mas pantomime, some lighting all at once, others letter by letter, others again lighting in different colors, and going out at one end as the other end is illuminated. As for the cine matograph displays on curtains, these have become comparatively common, and the crowds which used to gather outside and stare up at the Theatre Robert Houdin now have rouad half-dozen moving picture shows to choose from, and nothing to pay for any of them. We shall soon be quite Londonized if we do not happen to become Americanized first.

COYOTES ARE PLENTIFUL.
Stockmen of Eastern Oregon Again Annoyed by the Destruc-
 tive Pest.

For the first time in some years coyotes are plentiful on the eastern Oregon plains this year. Once al. most driven out by the determined efforts of the stockmen and the co. operation of state and county gov. ernments they are causing trouble on the sheep ranges.
 Several years ago the state placed bounty on their heads and many eastern Oregon counties offered an additional sum for scalps presented to the county clerk. The sheepmen organized big coyote hunts and the animals were all but driven out. For time it was a rare thing to see a band and this made the sheepmen careless.
 This year finds them again very abundant and they are attacking sheep and even worrying droyes of cattle. Coyotes have systematic way of rounding up a bunch of sheep and then keeping them moving con- tinually. Many thus die of exhaus. tion, although only few are eaten. Stockmen are beginning to resort to their old ways of ridding the coun- try of coyotes. The state bounty law is yet in force and the sheepmen will organize coyote hunts.
 The Oregon bounty law has been a source of great abuse and the state has been robbed of many hundreds of dollars. About three years ago a scheme was discovered by which coyote scalps had been shipped into this state for months from Idaho, whtge there is no bounty, and the regular fee collected.

He Died Hard.

s. B. Clark. of Omaha, who had gore on hunt in the Big Horn mountains, was missing. His friends searched and found his body and the bodies of two grizzly bears lying together. The bears had died of bullet and knife wounds, and
 Clark had four broken ribs, a chewed arm and a severe wound at the base of the brain. A hug from one of the wounded bears probably had killed him.

He has a generous old soul
And has a friendly grasp for all,
Hes being feted here by us,
So that he'll not forget US thus.

His creed is Friendship, Love and
