The suggestion of hunting coyotes
In an automobile came to the trio from.
having run near the animals often
when out in the country without
frightening them. They started at
daybreak for hunt.
I'VE ran the animals down." said
Mr.. McGill, land the dogs did the rest.
We concealed three big Russian wolf
hounds belonging to Mr.. Pedro In the
auto until we would spy one of the
animals. We knew II they saw the
dogs that they would never permit us
10 get near them.
when we would find a coyote he
was generally looking at us in amaze
ment He would stand and gaze at us
so long as we did not make straight
for him. SO we ran at him in Circuit
tous ways. We would act as II we
were going to pass HIM, and he would
stand his ground, but when near him
and just ready to pass ! would turn
the machine direct upon him and give
II 40mile speed,
After We had run the first one
about mile we came upon him and
then Mr.. Pedro threw his dogs out
of the auto and they picked the tired
animal up before he had doubled 40
PAGES.
"The second coyote we only chased
about half mile. He soon got tired
and the dogs picked him up In short
order.
Then we struck a big strong fellow
and gave him chase. He was the
swiftest animal ever saw on foot, but
we finally landed on him and threw
the dogs out. but he escaped them
He fought like satan, and the dogs
were tired anyway. We did not mind
losing him so much. as we had already
bagged two of the animals"

HOLLANDS QUEEN.
She Has All the WOndrouN Egotism
of Her Race.

The American impression OF a poor
little WHhelmina covering beneath the
orutalities Of the man she asked %
marry her is extremely curious 20 those
residents of The Hague who under
stand the sort Of disposition for which
the house Of Orange is celebrated. For
Wilhelmina is a true daughter Of the
house OF Orange. The Queens mother,
the most obed.pnt Of parents, has pro-
claimed this more than once, says
Current Literature.
She IS never forgetful Of her own
immense Importance TO Holland. When.
FIVE years ago. the Queen lay on that
sick bed from which II seemed certain
she could never rise. her mafesty's

Of her royal authority. She is said 20

the conduct Of Dutch foreign relations.
She looks upon the Dutch colonies as.
in some sort. the private appausges Of
the house of Orange. Her prodigious

her subjects saves her from some Of
the consequences Of her unConstitu-

There is no doubt but that many will
remark the curious parallel between the
volume of verse called Poems Of Emo
tional Love by Mrs Ruth Crosby DIM
mick. and the Poems Of Passion, by FL
IN Wheeler Wilcox. Indeed, Mrs Dim
mick, who is now in Washington, has
already been christened the Ella Wheeler
Wilcox Of St Louis. though the parallel
extends further, even 70 the fact that both
Mrs. Dimmick and the other passionate
poetess" both hail from Oshkosh. Wis
There IS lit and n rhythm 70 the
poems OF Mrs Dimmiek that remind one
forcibly OF the poems Of passion" and
they are equally as intense and amorous.
Nearly all Of the emotional poets have
their ardent wooers visit them in their
dreams and Mrs. Dimmick is no ex-
ception. She has "A Dream Of You" and
IS almost naughty in its intensity:
