AUTOS AT A COYOTE DRIVE.
California Hunt Not as Successful as
Had Been Hoped For.

A large crowd of San Joaquin coun-
ty residents assembled at the Boil
linger ranch. in the eastern part Of
the county. and enjoyed coyote
drive, which was not as destructive
as the people OF that district hoped
for as the animals kept out Of sight
and only a few were killed. or late
the coyotes have been killing sheep
pigs and chickens The scarcity OF
dead animals has caused the coyotes
to invade the ranches and give the
farmer lot of trouble AS a general
rule. these animals seldom attack
stock. but when driven to starvation
they become bold.
It was with the hope that large
number would be killed that a general
invitation was extended to the people
to assemble aud make roundup. All
kinds OF vehicles, from the old fash
ioned top buggy TO the latest In au-
tomobiles. were In evidence, and many
men appeared on horseback and join
ed the chase One drive was made In
the forenoon and another in the aft
ernoon, lunch being served between
the two trips Later another effort will
be made to extermnate the trouble
some animals.

Of telling.
For some years there had been a
Presbyterian mission at the Winnie
bago reservation in Nebraska, but
there were few converts. The mission
ary hit on a brilliant plan. There were
some bucks on the reservation who
had been at the Carlisle school, where
they had studied singing. He organic
ed a quartet. The bucks liked to show
of their hymns. One Of them had a
yellow dog that always accompanied
his master to church.
At first the Indians liked the sing
ing. Then they grew tired OF It, Even
the choir lost its religion. 1t became a
trio; then a duet finally the solo quit.
A new missionary came into the field.
One day he ascended the pulpit and
looked around. The only sign of life
in the pews was a yellow dog. Calling
to the sexton, he said, Put that dog
