planned to scour four entire town

as snow was falling heavily, and it was
also quite cold. The wolves for the
most part succeeded in keeping en-

those which were sighted left only a

ward them. Several coyotes were
sighted, but none was captured or
killed Another roundup will be ar
ranged in the near future.

indianapolis, Feb. 2.--The joint CON
ference of the operators and miners
of both the Central competitive and
Southwest districts has adjourned sine
die withoU; an agreement on a wage
scale. The adjournment was imme-
diately followed by a session Of the
miners national convention, at which
the position taken regarding a demand
for increased wages was reaftirmed.
Unless some influence not now fore
seen intervenes 100000 miners will
quit work April l in an effort to en-
force the demand for an increased
wage scale.
At the final session Of the joint con
ference of operators and miners a
motion made by F. L. Robbins, the
spokesman for the operators, that the
present wage scale be continued, was
lost, as it required under the rules a
unanimous vote to carry any of the
principal propositions. Operators of
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania voted
for the motion; Illinois operators de-
clined to vote. The miners of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois voted against the
proposition. Patrick DOlan, president
of the Pennsylvania miners, voted his
state for the proposition, which caused
an uproar among the miners. His
right to vote the Pennsylvania miners
for the continuance of the present
scale in spite of the fact that the
PittsburS convention had voted for
an increase was challenged by several
other Pennsylvania miners, but on an
appeal to the chair the vote was so
recorded. The motion to adjourn sine
die was made by F. l.. Robbins imme-
diately following the announcement
that the proposition of the operators
as embodied in his motion had been
defeated.

RABBITS STRANGE REFUGE
Bunny Leads Pursuing Lynx Into

His Escape.

That the instinct of self preserva-

race is evident from many instances
in the experience of hunters in the
north woods.

er country, relates the fact that while
seated in his tent one evening at dusk
there was a sudden commotion at the
entrance and in popped rabbit. Be-
hind the rabbit in hot pursuit, came
another animal, which fairly shot
down the snow incline into the tent.
This animal proved to be a lynx
For a moment it did not dawn upon
the lynx that it had been caught in a
snare, and then it jumped to the op-
posite side of the tent and began to
claw the canvas and snarl. By this
time the trapper had grabbed a club
and was On his feet. The fight that
followed was livery and how he man
aged to dodge the lynx and also hit it
in the semi-darkness is, he says, a
mystery, but it was not long before
the lynx was stretched out lifeless.
The hunter came out OF the encounter
with a few scratches, and in the
meantime the rabbit escaped

BIRD HAVEN ON THIS FARM
Illinois Agriculturist Who Keeps Close
Guard and Provides Shelter
for Birds.

John H. Doris, who owns q large

Oh his land, writes Harrisburg Gil }
cCI respondent of the st. louis Globe
Democrat. He has set aside a num-
Der of acres to grow UP in under
brush, in which all kinds of birds, es-
pecially quail, find a nome through
the winter; and in the summer the
place is alive with birds.
Mr.. Doris claims that hawks do
very little damage in comparison with
the good they do in killing field mice
and rats. There are hundreds Of
quail on his farm, and they have be-
come SO tame that they come to the
dOoryard for feed. So careful does he
watch these birds that he can tel
where nearly every bird nests in the
brooding season. Last fall one of his
lane with a load of hay, saw a quail
sitting on the fence close by, and,
taking his whip, he knocked 1t Off,
slightly crippling it. He picked the
bird up and took it to the house to
feed to the cat.
When Mr.. Doris saw this he re-
buked him warmly, questioned him as
to where he found the bird, and upon
being told remembered where it had
a nest. Unhitching one of the horse 5
ana saddling him, he rode a mile ard
