Scared by Wolves
Jack Sprst could eat no tat;
His wife could eat no lean;
Thus together they would sit

his wife could eat no LEAN;
Thus together they would sit
And lick the dishes clean."'
Whether or not thoughts of this Cd
juvenile rhyme applied to the wolf
famiIy's meat apetites added to the un-
comfortableness of their position, it is a
pretty good wolf story that comes from
Schroeder. in which Harry McIver, the
veteran land hunter, and 1. B. Gaskil of
that township are the central figures.
The whole story comes out through
their accusations OF one another, about
the only point of difference being as to
which was most badly scared. Early in
the week the two started out on snow
shoes to look over some land back of
Schroeder. When out several miles they
heard pack OF bowling wolves coming
In their dlrectlon., With thoughts only
OF security against a supposedly immi-
nent attack Gaskill quickly cut loose his
snow shoes and made squirrel-ike
ascent of the nearest tree. Harry's $50
pounds overdupois prevented him from
duplicating his partners" tree climbing
teat' SO he stuck to his snow shoes, cut
good sized club and made: ready for a
fight. Presently the pack passed, in
close pursuit of deer and SO intent on
tue chase that they did not see the men:
The wolves caught and killed the deer a
short distance awav: - ?: ].
Now it was Harry's turnato laugh, for
in order to continue the trip I. B. had to
take off shirt and tear it up for strings
with which to rrx up his. snow shoes.
