says, however. that the bounty system i
a failure and adds:
"A floating class of hunters and trappen
receive most OF the bounty money. am.
drift to the sections where the bounty IL
highest. IL determination ia left to those
men it will be q long process.
Even some OF the small ranch owners
support themselves IN part from the wolf
harvest, and 1t IL not to hear
men boast hat they know the location OF
dens. but are leaving the young to grow
up for higher bounty. The frauds which
have frequently wasted the funds appro-
priated for the destruction OF the nox!ous
animals almost vitiate the world records
Of some of the states.
IF bounties resulted In tho extermina-
ton OF the wolves, or In an important re-
duct!On in their number, the bounty sys-
tenn should be encouraged. but IL 1t mere
ly begets fraud and yields a perpetual har-
vest for the support of Il floating class
of citizens, others means should be adopt
ed"
Mr.. Bailey IL convinced that the only
way to war successfully on these pests IL
by poison. He says that many mere ami
mails could be killed In this way IL the
methods in use were less crude.
He thinks that the only safe poison to
do the work is strychnine. and declares
taiat iOui 6idHiS vi WV SuiHIL&1to
OF strychntne should be put in a gelatine
capsule. from which every trace OF the
bitter poison should be wiped. These
capsules should he placed in small pieces
of beef fat and should never be touched
by the naked hands. 1t Is best to use for
cops In handling them. An old wolf will
rarely touch halt poisoned IN the ordinary
way, but with the approved methods a
whole family may be killed with one car
cass.
1t has been learned that the largest
wolves are in the north. The wolves are
divided into two groups-coyotes and the
large gray or black wolves Known as tim
Der wolves. The light gray wolves of the
middle plains region are smaller than
those of Canada. and the wolves of Texas
and whereabouts are said to be the small
est Of all the species.
The middle plains wolf is the most de-
-structiNe- and ii every place where the
stock raising industry has grown the num-
Der of wolves has increased despite all tina
hunting. the poisoning. the trapping and
the bounty premiums. 1t is the opinion
of all who nave studied the matter that
they are the most costly of all the wild
creatures that nature maintains in tn.

King Edwards Clocks.

IRON the London Mail.
during the coming season. when the
king and queen are away from Sand
bingham and the park and grounds are
occasionally open to visitors, the plat
form of Wolverton, the station of
Sangringham. is now and again occu-
pied by bands of people who complain
a,iSrily that they are half an hour too
soon for their train. They have not
discovered in time that all the clocks
at Sandringham are kept half an hour
fast.
This is a curious fancy which the
king shares with several of his friends.
Lord Pembroke for instance. whose
hour fast. At no place, however. is the
scheme carried out more thoroughly
than at S~andringham. where all the
clocks I'm the house, stables and ken
nels. n even the church clock. are
kept exactly half an hour fast.
a we'll known scientific writer visit
ing Sandringham recently from HIM
stanton. and finding himself at the sta
ton with these thirty minutes of leis-
ure. occupied them in an interesting
discourse to some fellow sufferers on
the influence of human beings on
clocks and on other objects which
would not be suspected by the ordinary
human Uciik vi having nerves.
II dare wager" he said. that in the
private rooms of a punctual and bust
ness like man such as the king the
clocks do not lose or gain a minute a
week. Put the same clocks I'm the
room OF an untidy. cratic. u%npunctual
man. n even IL he does not alter

being wrong. they always will be
wrong.

MEN FROM SMALL COLLEGES.
A Remarkable Showing Set Forth /.
Statistics as to Graduates.


A recent examination of the member
ship of a college organization having over
10000 members. drawn from over sixty
colleges and universities. disclosed soma
striking facts regarding the success at
tanned by men from different colleges, and
some limitations upon success peculiar to
some professions. A table was prepared
showing the total number of members
drawn from each college and the number
from each college who. according to popu-
lar judgment. had achieved success. The
list Of colleges was then arranged in order
according to the number of successful men
that each had contributed to the organiza-
ton, and the first striking thing seen
from the list was the fact that the three
colleges at the head Of the list which had
the largest number of successful members
were De PAW university, Ohio WESLEYAN
university and Allegheny college. each of
them comparatively small Methodist COL
leges In the middle west. The first con-
tributed seventy-one successful members
to the organization, the second fi%fty-three
and the third forty-four; while their per-
centages OF success were, respectively,
seventeen, thirteen and eleven.
Out OF the first dozen on the list ten
were small church colleges and only two
were state universities. the University Of
Virginia being fourth on the list and In
diana university being ninth. Both OF
these institutions. however, nave had, dur
Ing most of their existence, a ompaYa
lively small attendance. and have really
been colleges of extremely high rank, in
stead of universities. The other places
were held as follows: Fifth, Washington
and Jefferson college: sixth. Bucknell uni
v%ersity: seventh, Dickson college: eighth,
Northwestern university: TENTH. Witteu-
berg college: eleventh. George Washing
ton university. District of Columbia.
twelfth, Lafayette college.
The first large university in the list was
the University Of Pennsylvania in tho
thirteenth place, which, out of a member
ship of go. had contributed twenty men,
bers. or about ~ per cent. to the list of
prominent and successful men. Next to It.
In. the fourteenth place. wa Johns Hop
kins university. which. out Of a total
membership of 133 drawn from a college
attendance never more than o%ne-fourth or
one-dfth AZ large as that at the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania. had contributed the
same number to the list Of successful
members. so that it's percentage Of success
was twice as great.

IT rs DYSPEPSIA
A Multitude of Ailments Arise
From Indigestion

It is generally conceded that q multi
tude of human ailments arise from indl-
gestion and in it's various forms it taxes
the skill of the physician to prescribe the
proper remedies. It is undeniable that
the closest intimacy exists between hap
piness and good disgestion. A healthy
digestion aids materially in making a
cheerful disposition, and the "feast of
reason and flow of soul'' is due as much
to the functional integrity of the stomach
as to strong and generous mental organl-
zation.
The following prescription is said to be
good and anyone can easily mix it at
home.
Get the ingredients. which are all OF
vegetable extraction and harmless, from
any good pharmacy and mix them by
shaking we'll in bottle: Tincture Gin
chona compound, 21 ounces; Kastor COM
pound, ounce, and Fluid Extract Cas-
cara Aromatic, ounce.
Take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal.
Those who are suffering from indiges-
ton should prepare this mixture and take
as directed for few days and note results.

FUN In THE HOME

The home should be made the
iolliest place on earth for the
children. Don't be afraid OF a
little fun at the family freside.
Don't let the boys think that all
mirth and social enjoyment is
barred from the home, if you
wish to keep them away from
places that lead to vice degreda-
ton. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere,
and if they do not find it in their
home, they will seek it at other
and less desirable places. Par
ents should not repress the buoy
ant spirits of their children, but
join in their merriment around
the home freside. The children
will lose none of their respect for
their father or mother if they oc-
casionally loosen their dignity
and take part in the children's
fun and sport. An evenings
romp and play with the young
folks will drive dull care away
and dispel the memory of many
an annoyance of.the day. Have
fun at home.

THE NEW ROAD

On another page will be found
the text of the new law regulat-
ing the care, maintenance and
improvement Of the public roads
of this county, except so far as
the building of new roads is con-
cerned, which was made the sub
iect Of a special act, which we
hope to publish in an early Issue
It will be observed that the en-
tire charge of our roads is now
vested in the Levy Court and the
County Road Engineer, The
Levy Court has appointed Henry
Wilson as such engineer and the
appointment was a good one,
Mr.. Wilson being in every way
competent to perform all the
duties. 1t will probably be some
time before the actual working OF
the system can be determined.
It can certainly be no worse than
the old one. One thing is certain
the repair and maintenance Of
the roads will have some system
and method about them, and the
County will be able to buy and
maintain suitable machinery to
properly do the work. One OF
the weakest parts of the old sys-
TEN was the lack of these tools
and the various hundreds were
not able singly to own and keep
them. The best implement used
on a road IS a heavy roller, and
we do not think there is one used
south of the Christiana River.
