Wolf RaIded shsepfoId.

George B. Israel, who lives on the
farm of Sheriff Samuel Parks, in John
son township, Brown county, thought
his sheep were being killed by Oscar
Ault's dog. Israel went to the Ault
home armed with gun, where he In
tended to kill the sheep-killing dog.
A fight took place between the two
men, and after they had paid their
fines before Justice Robinson of John
son township they learned that he
had just trapped large timber wolf.
The neighbors Immediately made
friends and decided that the wolf had
been killing the sheep instead of the
dog, as supposed. The pelt of the
dead wolf was taken to Nashville.
Numerous wolf tracks have been found
in Johnson township, and number

Gift Of Speech Puts Him In Class by

The gift of speech is the last proof
of Divine favor, in virtue Of which
mankind has the rest of the animal
kingdom faded, and stands in class
by himself.
Some beasts are stronger than men,
and some know more, but no beast
can be such bore as man, nor can
any beast slop over, in the true sense
OF the term. These distinctions we
owe to the gift of speech.
The gift of speech, moreover, lays us
under compulsion to read a great
many things which otherwise we
would not, in order that when we
have nothing to say, we may neverthe-
less say something. Thus we promote
the publishing business, create a de-
mand for wood pulp, assist in the de-
forestation of the earth's surface, stir
UP a new school of kickers, increase
discomfort and contribute, at length,
to progress and petulance.
Our ancestors used to consider
speech means of concealing thought,
but we have nothing to conceal

Red Coral.

The red coral that is used for neck
laces is horny axis which supports a
number of soft-bodied, coral-like, ami
mails, or polyps, the entire structure
bearing a strong resemblance to a
small shrub. The fishermen after they
have brought the shrub-like colony to
the surface clean the soft animal mat
ter away, preserving the red core or
axis, which is sold as jewelry. AL
though red coral contains some lime,
it is largely composed of substance
akin to horn, and, like horn, 1t takes
fine polish. Horn, wool and other
animal substances of this nature al
most invariably change their color
when brought into intense heat.
