HUNTING WOLVES IN TEXAS.
Bio Prairie Animals That Are Not
Afraid to Attack Man or Horse.

Afraid to Attack Man or Horse.
"You can talk about the sport OF
hunting the fox all you want" said
Major Charles Russell of Vinita, l. T.
Down in western Texas, where used
to live, we have a sport that beats
fox hunting all hollow. l refer to hunt
ing prairie wolves ON horseback. In
that country we chase the varmits on
Texas ponies, with hounds, and when
we get the wolf within shooting dis
lance we kill him with pistol.
Let me tell you it is exciting sport.
Some of the wolves are larger than
mastiff and can tear up pack OF
dogs in no time. l have even seen
the creatures when brought to bay not
hesitate to attack mounted man. l
have killed them when they were leap.
ing for the horses throat, and 1 have
seen them almost pull rider from
his horse Usually it takes more than
one shot from a heavy pistol to STAY
the wolf.
I'VE have another sport in the Tex.
as Panhandle almost as exciting" con.
tinued the Major, "and that is the jack
rabbit hunt on horseback with grey
hounds. Contrary to general opinion,
a jackrabbit cannot outrun a good
greyhound, except straight away for,
say 800 yards. Even a good COW pony
can run over a jackrabbit within half
a mile. Those horses can jump, too.
l once owned pinto pony that could
Jump a five strand barbed wire fence"

MODERN CRUSOES USED AEROPLANE

the island the captain remembered,
! for the chart showed no islands
around there. By incredibly hard
work the two men worked the ship
thither. For it is incredibly hard
work for two men to work a ship
whose crew and captain are gone and
whose engines are not running, and
which it, in fact altogether out of or
der.
With more incredible hard work
Standish brought ashore provisions for
nearly month, and Count Adolf lug
ged in the aeroplane. Unfortunately
there was no gasolene to run her with.
No sooner had the two brought what
they needed than the ship drifted
away again to sea.
They did not bother much looking
around the island at first, for 1t was
utterly deserted. But when no ships
hove in sight and the provisions began
plainly to get low Count Adolf who
seems to have been pretty smart
fellow, pulled up his schnurrbart and
what he could find.
By the greatest of good luck they
found a natural oil well.
Filling their hats with the oil, the
aeroplanists went back and forth till
they had tanked up Count Adolf's ma
chine. Then they both got aboard and
flew off.
Which way? Count Adolf thought
that Australia lay yonder. So yonder
he went Perhaps it did, but after
day or so of flying it was not visibly
nearer. The oil, which was naturally
of a poor quality, was getting low.
Standish took some anxious looks be-
low, where the waters were deep and
limitless Suddenly an island popped
up on the horizon. 1t had banana
trees and some huts on it.
"This is where 1 get Off" said
Standish.
Not L; there are too many people"
said Count Adolf, doggedly. Il must
land where there aren't any"
You will all right" rejoined Stand
ish and slipped off into the air. He
fell and fell, while Count Adolf went
right on muttering only the words,
You're fred"
Before Standish could settle the
question whether he had not virtually
resigned first, he hit the South Sea
with a tremendous slap, and knew
nothing more for he knew not how
long, When he came to he swan Wig.
orously up to the surface, and fearing
sharks, made the best possible time In
to the island.
They received him kindly there. In
about a month a vessel came along
and took him of. He asked the cap
tain how far over yonder Australia
was? About 1000 miles, was the an
swer.
So much for Count Adolf. Standish
is very pessimistic about his ever
turning up to confirm the tale. Stand
ish is stopping at one of the Seattle
hotels just low, making arrangements
to go home to Boston and get work in
speeding stationary engines. While he
knows all Count Adolf's aeroplane Sc
crets, he says, he will never attempt
to put them in operation. Once is
enough.
Besides to have been the first man
to live through aerial shipwreck Is to
have lived sufficiently.

But there is just one mark of a COD

some of them carry it to their graves,

You know that on one tr0user leg
the cop carries billy and on the
other a revolver. Then in back
pocket he has his handouts. Nov
these things weigh considerable and
they drag the suspenders down. Any
