We think that he's a wonder and we've

A-votin' for him regular. He's not much
for legislation,
But he's wonderfully able when IL comes
to conversation.
He isn't very active underneath the
great white dome,
Where intellects assemble, but he's
mighty fine at home.
It's not till Congress has adjourned that
work for him commences,
An then they say it's marvellous to
see him mendin' fences.
An that's the kind Of man we like; a

With simple homely duties that he
likes to superintend.

tell you that, on an average, full
grown wolf will destroy one thousand
dollars worth OF stock every year Of it's
life. Mountain lions prefer horses to
any otner food, but still they will put
up with calves and sheep. They, too,
are easily chargeable with a thousand
dollars worth Of damage each year.
The coyotes, bobcats, and lynxes do less
harm, and that mostly to sheep. Yet
] think it is a very conservative esti-
mate to say that each coyote or lynx
annually destroys stock to the value of
fully one hundred dollars.
Taking these figures as basis for
comparison, it is very easily seen that
the value of the animals killed by the
forest service men, is more than 81 ,o00,-
600. Hence, SO far as return for their
SS36920 in grazing fees is concerned, the
stockmen get it back in full and with
some to spare"

WON ON A BLUFF.
Tho Way Ore Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.


There Is prosperous merchant In
Chicago today who owes his success to
bis donation Of a $1,000 organ to a
church at time when be didn't have
money enough to buy hand organ,
This donation was a case OF bluff pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth of
the lucky buffer
John Smith was seeking capital TO
start in business for himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking Of he
could not borrow the money be needed.
When he had tried every person he
could think Of who would be likely TO
have the necessary cash and the incli-
nation TO lend II and had been turned
down, he conceived the idea of present
ing his church with an organ

fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future TO look out for itself. The man.
ufacturers OF the organ never thought
Of questioning the financial standing
of the philanthropist whe was handing
out 5000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument set up in the church on
time.
or course ]. Smith was not a bud
that was born TO blush unseen, nor did
he hide his benehcence under a bushe.
He managed to bring In at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means Of the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news Of his
gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretensc OF consulting some
wealthy member Of the congregation
about some minor details of the organ
he would drop into an Office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject OF the company that he was
forming. Most OF the men that he thus
saw thought that it would be a good
thing TO be associated with a man who
was making so much money that ha
was able to hand out $500 Without
missing 1t, so that all were glgxlous TO
take stock in J. Smiths company,
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough yfaoney to start his
business ara WIS doing SO well he had
no difficulty Hi borrowing the amount

STRANGE FACT ABOUT rAPEwoRMs

Their Source Had Long Puzzled SCENT
lists Until Won Siebold Discovered 1t.
A German named Won Siebold made
himself specialist on tapeworms, and
in the course Of his researches discovered
that cats and owls were infested with
exactly the same kind OF tapeworms. He
then cogitated on what the bird and the
cat could have in common, and conclud-
ed that it could be only in the single
matter of die, namely, that both ate
mice. He proceeded then to Investigate
mice, and found in some OF them not
tapeworms, but a great number of mi
mute bag-shaped createures now called
cysticerci. which had burrowed into their
flesh. These had as little resemblance
as possible to tapewOrms, which may be
twenty feet long He then fed the meat
OF such unfortunate mice to dogs, pigs,
and chickens, and Ill due time, lol all
three grew the same tapeworms with
those of cats and owls. The commonest
kind among our tapeworms comes from
eating beef not sufficiently cooked TO
kill the cystieerci in it.-Dr William
Hanna Thomson, in the July Every
body's.

The God with-Us" Cure For Human
Ills.

Rev. DR.. Robert Macdonald tells in
the July Woman's Home Companion
how the church is once more becoming
active in the cure OF human ills.
Through the Emmanuel Movement"
started al Emanuel Episcopal church.
il RoatqE and taken up by Doctor
MacDaTEald n his own church in Brook
wy the church is again saying, "Arise,
lake up thy ped and walk"
"The complaint is going up from
everywhere says Doctor Macdonald,
''tEat the church is losing its hold on
practical men Nand women. The reason
- not that the church is not faithful
to its duty, but that the world has in
creased its facilities to satisfy man. But
here is a new way Of reaching the man
Of the world. HIS modern way Of liv
ing, with all its hurry and worry, has
gotten onto his nerves. He sleeps poor
", is depressed aud melancholy, has
nervous breakdowns, r. dyspepsia and
sluggish and miserable. The same man
who will not listen to a, purely spiritual
appeal wants help, and wants 1t badly.
The church that can promise him health
with which to do his work, wins him.
His bodily pain Is very reakt to him, for
it is so much nearer than cramped
and dormant spirit of which pc is not
conscious.
Where does the Emmanue! Move
lnent differ from Christian Science
There can be said to be only one point
Of similarity. 1t is that both aret de-
sirous of getting rid of disease But
they no sooner join issue than thay i is
agree The point Of separation is IN
what constitutes curable and incurabie
malady. The Emmanuel MoYementA
treats only functional disorders Of thu
nervous system Christian Science does
not distinguish between functional and
organic diseases. Then, again, the En-
manuel Movement works hand in hand

az they recommend, cases that are be-

In the July American Magazine Lin

Following is his advice, given in a

The police everywhere warn citi-

know Of such troubles. They say that
if the newspapers get hold Of the news
they iwll publish it; this will brighten
away the thieves and prevent the po-
cile from recovering the stolen prop
crty. This is only a police trick to
avoid criticism. They give to the press
ell their successes; they suppress their
failures, and thus keep up the appear

Of fact. the first thing that the victim
