The minister had dropped In to tea.
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels to the ques.
ton of whether or not we should know
each other in heaven. Presuming that
our physical beings would be perpetu.
ated, and that recognition would be as
sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib
lical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing.
Some mentioned one prophet and
some another, but one lady, noted for
her social exclusiveness. had not
spoken. Turning to her the minister
said: And who would you like to meet
In heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?"
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. II

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
Tremble.

The surgeons duties require clear
judgment and steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir-
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Ills.
surgeon conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years l was coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly,
broken down, my han DIS trembled SO
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could I safely per.
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-
cision? When l saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, decided to stop 1t,
and three years ago l prepared some
Postum, of which had received a
sample. ,a.s. j.
1.-THE first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild. soothing, delicious. AT this
time I gave some Postum to friend
who was in similar condition to
mine, from the use Of coffee.
"A few days after, met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de.
claring he would never return to COT
fee. but, stick to Postum. We then Or
dered a full supply and within short
time, my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as we'll as insomnia, disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor.
NAL, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
my friend became Postum en-
husiast, his whole family using it ex-
clusiyely. "

who breNed the Postum, ii it did not
taste good when served. "a

The richest Indian in the world is
Lion Hill of Harrington, Texas. HIS
wealth is conservatively estimated at
$500, 900, says the Denver Post. He
owns more than 100000 acres of the
best land in the Rio Grande valley
Every foot OF it can be irrigated.
At the rate which other land in this
section of the same character Is SELL
ing 500 per acre for these 100000
acres would not be an excessive fig
ure. Figured on that basis, this In
iian is worth $6,OOO,00O. He is not
given to overrating things, and the
first estimate is his own.
Lon Hill Is a full blood Choctaw

This is true. He never shared in
any of the allotments in Indian Terri
tory. He has been making his way
ever since he was a boy.
The marvellous thing about the
great fortune which Hill now pos

The government has just issued the
following bulletin concerning the re-
suits of the coyote-killing campaign
in the forest reserves. The bulletin
says:
The forest service has made vigor-
Gus efforts to destroy wolves and
other predatory animals on and near
the national forests. and through its
force Of forest rangers has carried
on the most systematic and successful
war on these pests ever undertaken.
Besides the regular force of rangers
a number Of expert hunters and trap
pers have been employed in the worst
infested regions and gratifying results
have been obtained.
It must be borne in mind, however,
that the areas thus protected are but
widely separated spots in a vast ex-
tent Of wolf country, and unless
ranchmen and settlers are stimulated
to similar efforts permanent results
are not to be expected.
Following is a record Of wolves and
coyotes killed in 1907. furnished by
the forest service. In many cases the
records are incomplete or approxi-
mate. but they come from widely
scattered localities and serve to give
an idea Of the success Of the war
against these animals. Numerous
bears. mountain lions, bobcats and
other animals also were killed.
In making up these reports the su-
pervlsors Of the various national for
ests have added to the number Of an
imals killed by forest rangers and
hunters employed by the forest serv-
ice those killed in the vicinity of the
forests by ranchmen, cowboys and |
professional hunters and in many |
cases It has been impossible to sepa-
rate the records. Also in a few cases
bounty records for the county have
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-09
WAR ON COYOTES HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL

been included. Hence the forest ser
vice should not be credited with the
total number of animals killed.
The capture of 1928 wolves is re-
ported from 39 national forests,
which comprise an area of 1880
square miles. The surrounding
country included may amount to as
much more, making an area of about
145,520 square miles to which the
reports relate, or about one-tenth of
the total area inhabited by wolves in
the United States.
The capture of 23,2Os coyotes is
reported from II national forests,
which comprise an area of 106,746
square miles. This is doubled to in
clude the surrounding country to
which the reports also refer makes
an area of approximately 213,492
square miles, or about one-ninth of
that inhabited by coyotes in the
United States.
Poisoning.
No poison has yet proved so effec-
tive as pure sulphate of stychnine,
provided the proper dose is used. The
most effective dose is grains for
wolves and 2 grains for coyotes. The
common 3-grain gelatin capsules sold
by druggists viii hold, If well filled,
4 grains of strychnine and are better
than the larger capsules. The regu-
lar 2-grain capsules should be used
for coyotes. The capsules should be
Tiled, securely capped, and every
race of the intensely bitter drug
wiped from the outside.
Each capsule should be inserted In
piece of beef suet the size Of a wal
tut and the cavity securely closed, to
leep out moisture. Lean meat should
rot be used, as the juice soon dis
;olves the gelatin Of the capsule. The
necessary number Of poison bats may

The bats may be dropped from
horseback along a scented drag line
made by dragging an old bone or
piece of hide we'll saturated with
fetid scent, or they may be placed
around or partly under any carcas
on which the wolves or coyotes are
feeding, or along trails which they
are in the habit of following.
Gelatin capsules quickly dissolved

nine taken on an empty stomach

but on a full stomach its action Is
much slower, and the animal may
have time to travel a considerable
distance.
