A TENDERFOOT
ON.
WOLF RANCH.

Out in the country WneTe the soutu-
western mountains throw their shad-
ows on the plains you may hear this
story of Wolf Ranch.
Wolf Ranch was the property OF
Dad" Perkins, first name long since
passed out of everybody's memory save
possibly that of Dad himself. Perkins
had charming daughter, Phoebe, who
lived with him and kept the ranch
house sweet and orderly. Phoebe was
pretty, and the boys Of all the country
round knew 1t, if she didn't.
A young man came out of the East
and took up quarters at Dad Perkins
ranch. He was big and handsome, and
when he wasn't shooting in the noun
tains he was talking 10 Phoebe Perkins
of books and poetry and all sort of
things, which made the girl believe he
was Of different mold than the ranch
men.
The New Yorker gave up hunting af-
ter while and stayed about the ranch,
and the hours that he was not with
Phoebe were not many The New York
er talked to the ranch girl of the de-
lights of city life and of the pleasures
that awaited her there if she would
but 60 with him. The New Yorker
wasn't an honest man.
There was a sheep herder named
George Wilson on Dad Perkins ranch.
The herder had loved Phoebe in his
own way for a year He knew that
the girl was not for him any more
than the stars that looked down at him
when he kept his sheepfold vigil.
George Wilson had eyes in his head.
He had seen more than any one else
OF the attentions that the New Yorker
was paying Phoebe.
Wilson alternated with another herd
er in the matter OF his nights on duty
with the focks, When not on guard
he stayed at the ranchhouse. The
New Yorker and Phoebe sometimes sat
under the wide reaching roof of the
porch after the mountains had shut
out the sun and the shadows filled the
valley. One night they sat there and
spoke in low tones. The girl said: 81
must not 60"
Then there followed some words OF
pleading.
There was movement back of them.
The New Yorker drew apart from the
girl and turned. George Wilson was
standing just back of him. He looked
at the New Yorker and said.
you asked me the other day while
we were hunting why this place is
called Wolf Ranch. / expect TO leave
here tomorrow to take a place on an
other ranch many miles away and to-
night | will tell you why this is called

this section; in fact, there had been
none for years, until one came-a big
gray, hungry fellow, who fattened
nightly on the fold. Our dogs were of
no service. The wolf was too smart
for them. He had hunger for lambs,
and he was shrewd enough to find a
4 way to get his meal. He tried poison
and spring guns, but we could do
nothing with that wolf. He knew his
wolnsh business, and knew 1t well
( from the VOLTS standpoint.
Il said our dogs were no good. There
was something about that wolf that

home OF my father miles away. The
men said: This is no wolf: It's a

there is a real and distinct dividing

A REcREANT STATE BOARD.

The board of managers of the State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton,
after supporting and approving malad-
ministration in the institution for years
has been stirred out OF It's lethargy by
the Assembly investigation to the ex-
tent of making long-needed changes in
the personnel of the executive manage
ment. 1t required a fearful sacrifice of
life and an upheaval In the affairs of
And Its action is only preliminary to a
radical reform In the board itself.
The tradition that the affairs of an
Institution are safe when some respect
able names figure in the directorial or
managerial board has not been made
good in many instances. Banks with
highly respectable men as directors
have been wrecked by mismanagement
or dishonesty, and other lduclary insti-
tutions have suffered in like manner
The manager who doesn't manage and
the director who doesn't direct are men,
aces to the trusts they have in charge.
The managers of the Trenton asylum
have been managers in name only. They
let the hospital be run by two officers
who were at daggers' points and were
constantly getting into each others
way, to the detriment of the interests
OF the hospital. They permitted the
warden to handle the large funds of the
hospital without audit or check of any
kind. They believed he was honest, and
on that theory they paid all bills with
out any question. In the same belief.
they allowed him to make wholesale
purchases without competitive bids.
The procession of d~isgraced executive
officers out Of the hospital will natu-
rally be followed by an exodus of the
managers.

JERSEY E @ H

That New York owns the Kill Won
Kull is a new claim hat should not be
permitted to go unchallenged. But
ever If that, concession is made. Jersey
men should be permitted to fish therein
so long as New Workers. are allowed to
monopolize the best fishing waters Of
our coast. It's a poor State that will
not protect its own citizens 10 their
rights as against another state.-Tren-
ton Times.
We AVE commented In the same vein
on the recent incident of the arrest OF
four New Jersey fishermen by the New
York harbor police for digging CLAIMS
in the Kill Won Kull, which is popu-
larly believed in this state 20 be New
Jersey waters. Be that as 1t may, the
law of New York forbids fishing in
New York waters. At the same time
the inlets and bays of New Jersey are
daily visited by fishing boats from New
York and dragged with large nets, n
the New Jersey waters are so thor
oughly cleared out Of fish that there is
nothing left for the Jersey hand line
fishermen to catch.
There is no State law to protect New
Jersey fish in salt waters and New Jer-
sey fish is the spoil of n~on-residents,
whose nets encircle the coast n
sweep the bays and inlets. As n result,
the State fisheries are in danger of
destruction. Striped bass, a valuable
and priced food fish, has nearly dlsap-
peared, and other species are diminish
ing in number. All appeals to the
Legislature to enact legislation to pro-
tect and conserve the States saltwater
fisheries have been futile. New York
protects her fisheries and appropriates
New Jerseys fisheries.

JUDICIAL AIDS TO CRIME.

Police Commissioner Bingham, OF
New York, in speaking Of the wave Of
crime that has swept over the city,
points out the responsibility of the law
judges. "The courts.'' said the COM
missioner, seem free to grant any
sort of application that is made to pro-
tect lawbreakers and keep the police
from getting evidence. 1t will be i'm
possible to suppress gambling as long
as the judges hand out these fake in
functions"
Unfortunately, the criticism is true.
A court can be made a sanctuary for
criminals, high and low, against pun
ishment by the law. Judges in New
York were made the tools Of Fisk and
Gould when they were footing great
financial interests, and they have pro-
tected gilded crime in other instances.
This debauchment of the judicial err
mine naturally descends to the protec-
ton of gamblers and other ordinary
l~awbreakers. The police authorities
should not alone complain of these UNI
worthy judges. Public sentiment
should lash them.

A PAUSE IN STATE POLITICS.

The warm summer has taken the
starch out of partisan politics in this
State. Here and there a languid move
ment is witnessed. A few devoted ones
talk is ~llfeless and the plans are vague.
The New Idea. which displayed so
much midsummer vitality last year,
has practically taken a vacation.
Senator Colby is in Europe, and no.
body else cares for a shirtsleeve cam
paign, nor does anybody care to at
e meetings and listen to political
oratory.
1t is now generally felt in the State
that deserved reforms will not wait
upon politics next fall, but are in q
fair way of accomplishment by legis.
lation before the next election. Thu
Assembly investigating committee ha;
already accomplished more real good
than could be brought about by hall
a dozen campaigns, and the work 4
has done was not dreamed of last No.
vemher or suggested in any way by
candidates or political parties. In poin'
of fact, the inspiration for the inves.
tigation was an inspiration by the
state, which pointed the way wher

ment.
Reform is working itself out by in.
v~estigation and legislation. The Legis,
lnture has not adjourned; the depart
ments OF the State are under a genuin,
investigation, and long-concealet
abuses are being turned up to tn
light. AS a result the two politica
parties will be compelled to make tn,
best character of nominations TO
Governor and Legislature. So far al
State reforms are concerned there vii
be competition between the two or
