Valuable Stock Put Up.
From the New York Sun.


Blake, the man from the east, threw
down the cards.
I'm money there was about 500 on the
table. The first Goldfeld man went to
his grip and returned with handful Of
paper. The other followed suit. Then the
first threw out some stock.
There's $4,000 worth OF stock to such
and such a mine," he said.
"'See your $4,000 and raise you $25, 900. >
said the other.
"'seen, and raised s50OOO,' came the
reply.
"They went on in that manner, throw

popping out of his head.
"'Good landv he said. Is this the way

II was little surprised myself. but
didn't say much.
"'Sure, we play 1t this way said one
of the Goldheld men.
when they had both placed their last
piece Of stock on the table they decided
1t was a showdown. One of them had
aces full on tens and the other had four
kings.
THE winner raked In the money and
stock and began piling up the paper.

Blake just couldn't restrain himself any
longer
"T should think you would be- he said.

Up Traps and Bait.
James X. Cornwall returned on Sat
urday night from months trip TO the
northern county beyond Athabasca
Landing, writes an Edmonton CORE
spondent OF the Toronto Globe. Mr..
Cornwall states that the wolves are
creating devastation and inestimable
less among the settlers Of the upper
Peace river district.
At Dunvegan and Fort st. John more
than S25, 900 worth of horses have been
killed by wolves. The reason for the
ravenous rampage Of the wolves is the
scarcity OF lynx and rabbits. which
have died off or have migrated In large
numbers.
So numerous have the wolves become
and so desperate In their invasions that
for the first time In the history OF the
north the Oogrib Indians have been un-
able to pay their debts at Fort Ver-
million because the wolves have reg
ularly cleared up their traps and bait
and have even aevoured their dogs.
Clement Paul. the celebrated hunter
and trader OF Hay river, killed twenty
eight wolves this winter within radius
Of five miles of his cattle corral.

N woMAN,s LErrERs.

Unless a woman uses brains and tact
In her correspondence she will fall OF
social success, one reads In the Define
ator for August. a. young woman
once wrote a letter of coincidence to a
widow whose husband had committed
suicide after defaulting. In the same
mail she sent a letter to her sister. In
which she intended to enclose sensa-
tional newspaper clipping on the SUBJ
ject. BY some fatal mishap, she put
the clipping into the wrong letter and
sent 1t to the widow with her note OF
sympathy. The mistake was never
forgotten or forgiven.
Letters OF coincidence are particul-
arly difficult to write. A calling-card
Inscribed with the words, with sim
cerest sympathy" is an accepted form
which eliminates the possibility Of a
EARRING note. s .s
Appreciatiye acknowledgment OF an
invitation or a gift should be made on
the very day that 1t is received; and II
more than one gift comes, as at Christ
mastide, each note must be so distinc-
tive In its mention OF the gift as to re.
move any suspicion that one form OF
letter Is being made to work overtime
The bride who words her note OF
thanks so vaguely that she can copy II
over for Aunt Eliza's embroidered
centerpiece and Uncle Johns plano, and
the lamp from her Sunday-school class
is breaking one Of the important canons
of etiquette.
The courteous woman must not fai
to write to her hostess within twenty
four hours after her return from q

sometimes known as the ''roofer, y
