The Cunning Coyote

Hon. George w. Norton contributes the following instance to the annals of psychological investigation:
 Col Norton, at his home at Mohawk, is poultry raiser in a minor way, but was recently deprived of his feaihered i flock is peculiar manner. His chick ems were in the habit of roasting on the limbs uf tree near his residence. On each of several mornings Col. Nor- ton found numerous feathers around this tree and the number of his chick- ems was c0rrespondingly depleted. Finally, on a bright moonlight night he remained awake and kept watch of the tree in which the remainder of his fowls were slum bering, About mid night several coyotes emerged from the shadows and silently stationed then+ selves around the tree. Notes of alarm and warning from the chickens an- nounced their cognizance of the press ence of their wuuld-be Gestroyers. One of the coyotes at once began to circle around the tree imtnediatel beneath the limbs. He kept this up persistent l ly. much to the mystifcatiun of Col. Norton, while his comrades looked on patiently. Finally chicken toPpled from a limb and plunged to the ground It gas immediately grabbed by vigil ant coyote and summariiy executed. The circling coyote continued his trot around the tree. Directly down came another fowl. There was sufficient l light for Norton to see the fowls in the tree and observe that they were peer | ing downward and watching the nov l ing coyote. Then the Colonel caught on. The astute coyote was making use of acquired knowledge Of the excessive curiosity of the chickens, who constant | ly turned their heads to watch the circling coyote until one by one they lost their balance and feil from their perch. So interesting did Col. Norton find observation of this example of the coyote s shrewdness and keen 0bserva- tion that he watched the destruction of his fowls, one at time, for some time before putting stop to the pro- ceedings.

The citizens water commission OF
Minneapolis has decided that Missis
sippi river admixture is good enough
for drinking purposes. BY vote of
Il to the committee defeated the
proposition to purify the inhabitants
of the mill city by the introduction OF
water from Mile Laos. The only
objection to Mississippi water appears
to be microbes, dead animals and
mud, all of which may, however, be
removed by scientific methods. But
there is another drawback which the
committee apparently overlooked.
That is, after extracting the microbes
carcasses and mud there will be very
little water left.

Samuel tUntermyer, noted New
York lawyer, says: "Whenever the
government really wants to bring the
criminal rich who are managing these
conspiracies that are. notoriously
violating the criminal law within the
penalties of that law, it will not be
difficult. There never has been an
honest, intelligent effort to enforce the
ample provisions of the law against
any of the monster monopolies.
Somehow or other, it looks as if the
power of these men is too much for
the government. And there appears
to be no grounds upon which to base
a contradictory statement which will
hold good.

Women who are anxious to secure
the right of franchise would perhaps
profit by reading the following excerpt
from an address by Cardinal Gibbons
to the girl graduates of St. Joseph's
college, Emmetsburg, Nd:
II am entirely opposed to woman
suffrage, not because I hate the
women, but love them and want them
to fulfill the mission God intended. If
you play in the arena of politics you
will be covered with it's dust. No.
where is woman so honored as in the
United States. This is due largely to
the chivalry and courtesy of the men,
and if you are protected by the male
sex what more do you want? I want
to remind you that woman has great
mission in life. You should, there
fore, have a deep sense of your
responsibility in the domestic walks
of life.'' D. i.
