Killing Horses and Dogs and Clearing Up
Traps and HIATT.

James X. Cornwall returned on Saturday
night from a months trip TO the northern
country beyond Athabasca Landing, writes
an Edmonton correspondent Of the Toronto
Globe. Mr.. Cornwall states that the wolves
are creating devastation m inestimable
loss among the settlers Of the upper Peace
River district.
At Dunvogan and Fort 81. John more than
s2S, 900 worth of horses have been killed
by wolves. The reason for the r~avenous

RABBIT SCALPS IN TRADE.
In Western Kansas They Are Exchanged
for Groceries.
From the Kansas Gin Sto,

FrOW the N On4u6 ttfU SfOr.
Did you ever hear OF rabbit scalps being
rated as an article Of or as a me-
dunn of exchange In the same manner as eggs
and butter? Out In Trego county, Kan, the
county seat Of which Is Wakeeney, the mer-
chants pay Ave cents each for rabbit scalps,
no matter whether the unfortunate bunny"
was full grown or not. W. J. Williams, who IL
the proprietor Of a grocery store IN Wakeeney.
bought ESQ soalps during the months OF
March, April and May this year. John
Keraus, another merchant Of the same place.
bought .760 scalps. while no merchant In
the little town paid for less than 500 scalps.
The farmers and ranchmen bring rabbit
scalps to the county stores along with eggs
and butter. The grocer accepts and counts
them with no more ado than II they we're
so many eggs.
A few years ago Trego county, In the hone
Of exterminating the troublesome jackrabbits.
decided to pay a bounty Of Ave cents for rabbit
scalps, the money to be paid whenever the
scalps we're presented at the County Treas
! ureris Office. Soon after men who had never
before been seen In Wakeeney came 10 the
Court House with big sacks OF scalps. Finally
the County Commissioner grew suspicious.
and L. eventually developed that certain
residents Of neiehbortng counties were taking
, advantage OF TreRo's bounty law and were
bringing scalps from as far away as fifty
miles.
To discourage this practice the county
decided TO allow payment for scalps not more
often than every three months. Three months
was a long time to wait. The hunters became
impatient At the long delay. IL remained for
the merchants to solve the difficulty. Accord
ingly IL was announced through the columns
Of the weekly papers that rabbit scalps would
be taken at the grocery stores In exchange
for merchandise. provided the owner OF the
scalps would give his word that they were

LINCOLN. Neb.. July ia freokle faced
lad OF II years, the murderer Of his widowed
mother, has begun a sentence of ten years
in the State Reform School here.
He IL Calf Mccoy, an alert little Irish
lad. whose first act was to attempt to thrash
one OF his fellow inmates who showed too
much curiosity in trying to find out what
Calf had done.
Calf Is not at all o~ontrite over his deed.
He says he killed his mother because she
was mean TO him. Rock county Ia way up
on the edge Of the sandhills, and on a quar-
ter section lived the Widow Mccoy and her
three sons. 1t was a hard life the family
led. Work all day, little pleasure. no school
! ing this was the programme the lad was
familiar with from infancy.
The widow was a hard taskmaster and
she did not spare the rod. On June 9 she
gave Calf a sound whipping for failure to
perform a task to her liking. Calf told his
mother he would "hx" her. She whalet
him a little harder for his threat. The
next day she told the three boys Il come
with her to the field to plant beans. Calf
slipped into the kitchen and got the family
revolver. Hiding it under his coat, he
went to the field. While his mother was
crouohed down at her task he walked up TO
within Ave or six feet OF her and shot her
through the head. She died in a few mo-
ments
Calf made no pretence Of lying about
whath he had done. He said she had whipped
him a number Of times without cause, that
she was mean to him and to his brothers
and that he had but carried out his open
threat. to her when last she whipped him.
He did not weep then. and he hasn't wept
since over her death.
Its a queer case" said Sheriff Marsh.
Il did not put him in jail. but kept him at
my home while he was in Bassett. I found
him an impulsive. wild boy, quick to anger
or t. resent anything said or done. and he
hasn't uttered a word of regret for what he
did. I really believe that while he was
with me he got kind treatment and enough
to eat for the first time in his life. He fol-
lowed me about like a faithful dog. and tells
me that when he gets out he is coming back
to work for me. The kid picked up, evil

INDIAN WEALTH FROM OIL.
Greeks Income From Their Lands Gov

creeks Income From Their Lands Gov.
eminent Sees They Arc Paid.
The tremendous production Of oil in the
Glenn pool is making the Creek Indians as
rich as the Osages. A citizenship in the
Usage nation is now worth about So. 900.
but the Creeks are coming fast.
The average daily production in the Glenn
pool is I25.OOO barrels. or this. writes a
Tulsa correspondent Of the Kdnsas City
Times, the indian owners OF the land get
1880 barrels, one-tenth. The oil Ia worth
about al cents a barrel. This gives the
Indian lessons OF the 10, 800 acres oompris-
ing the pool S.. 1925 a day. This amounts
TO sl.s72.O25 a year. This is the royalty
which is paid as long as the oil is in the
ground Then there is the money for the
lease and the bonu which frequently runs
SIS and $40 and sometimes $40 an acre. This
is ell profit for the Indians.
The Indian never gets the worst OF il in
the oil game because the Government looks
after him and sees that the bonuses and
the royalties are paid when due. Further
thar this the Government sees that the
Indian gets the full benefit OF the market
price. It's the white man who is putting
up his money to develop the country and
make the Indian rich who has to stand all
the chances Of failure.
There are l20 Indian owners of the leases
in the Glenn pool getting the si,s72. 1925 a
year. This makes an average OF SIS, $50
each on royalties alone That is more
money than a Cabinet officer OF the United
States or a Justice OF the Supreme Court
receives IA salary. The beauty Of II all Is
the Indian does not have TO work to get
the money The Indian agent comes
around and hands IL TO him
just for speculation a statistioian was
figuring the life Of the Glenn pool with the
life of other pools and he came 10 the total
of ss5, 200, 900 which will be paid out to the
Creeks in royalties before the pool passes
the stage Of marketable production. That
will make every Indian rich. And the
beauty OF il is that the royalty is in the
shape OF AN annuity on a monthly payment
plan. The indian cannot anticipate his
royalties. lie cannot sell them or make
a contract to sell them. The Government
looks after that All the Indian can do ls
to spend the money after he gets IL every
month. And he can do that as well as
who ever lived

A GLIMPSE OF SPAIN,
The Manner Of q Wedding Dance N
the Provinces.

The wedding dance was being
held in long, narrow building near
a fountain, and we entered on
smooth earth floor. Seats we're ar
ranged about the sides of the white
washed room, and the low rafters
were drapcd and festooned with fan
cy wall paper with gold scrolls in it.
The music was furnished by piano
organ at enc end of the long room,
turned in rotation by a number of
small boys in their clean blue
blouses and brown corduroy
breeches, who felt their importance,
and at the other end of the room
table was spread with cakes and
bread and a wine eoncoetion very
sweet and pleasant, but seductive.
The women, some bringing their
babies. were pleasant set, but not
beautiful, although a few, with
their large dark eyes, came very
near to it. They did not wear the
gay costumes of my imagination,
but their dresses showed great care
and conscientious patching. A gay
handkerchief was often folded
around the neck and across the
breast, and large earrings and big
breastpins we're the vogue even
among the young women. The men
wore broad brimmed black felt hats
and clean blue blouses, corduroy
trousers, either light tan or brown,
and the long red or black sash belt
called "feja" wound many times
about the waist, the folds serving
as pockets for cigarettes. tobacco
pouch and the villainous knife that
every one carries.
The dances we're "round," inter-
spcrsed with a square dance, where
four people comprised a set-a sort
Of fandangs, with lots Of stamping
and attempts at 1.-the, serpentine
motions, with the hands raised
above the head. There was a very
old man who danced with great
gusto and amused the crowd OF
young people, who encouraged him
with clapping Of hands. - Edward
Penfeld in Scribner's.

The Lobster an Idiot.

The best naturalists remain tim

poke him there, he does that; poke
a thousand of him in the same way,
and they do the same things. Shall
We therefore conclude that the lob
ster lacks mentality, that he's a
mere machine and that he doesn't
even know he's a lobster? BY no
means. All we can affirm with sci
