Indian Runs Down Wolves

Charley Taylor, a halfbreed Indian

ing business for the bounty there is in

them down. He hit the hot trail of one
of the timber beasts February 10 and

February % He killed it with stout
club, which he carries When hunt

Taylor says that there is nothing
remarkable about hunting wolves in
this manner. With snowshoes a man
can run down a wolf, whose pace is
slower in snow, in from one and a
han to two days, but Taylor was with
out snowshoes. All one needs is en-
durance, patience and the ability to
follow the trail of the wolf after dark.

heard of any farmer fool nuff to watch

Then YOU can't believe that if he
sees his shadow he will go back in his
burrow and stay for six weeks?" was
asked
What's his shadder got to do with

Il can't say"
No more can I. He's a fool of a
grounding if he don't make his bur
row in the woods, and hows he goin'
TO see his shadder there? Would it
make any difference if a calf saw his
shadder on that day."
Then can take it that you don't
believe in the old saying?"

man, but I'm tellin' you that Eve got

Nests That Meinh Ions

In Australia are to be found the
largest, heaviest and most peculiar
nests in the world These are the
nests of the jungle fowl, so-called,
and are built in the form OF great
mounds, the average measurement in
heisht being 10 feet and the circum-
ference 100 feet. The nests are erect
ed in secluded, sheltered spots: and,
as in the case of the small nests of
birds, they are skilfully interviewer
with leaves, grass and twigs. and such
other suitable material as the fowl
may be able TO procure
A similar system in the construc-
ton OF nests is followed by the bush
turkey whose home is, however more
comprehensive in design. Its shape is
pyramidal. 1t has been asserted by
Australian naturalists that the nests
of the bush turkeys. which live in col
onies, are so large that to move them
requires the services OF six or seven
men. The material of a single nest
has been found TO weigh upward of
five tons-Sunday Magazine.

Real Meaning OF "cravat..

"Cravat," or RATHER the French
~cravate." means simply Croatian:
Hume, the historian. for instance,
speaks of certain troops as "Cravates
and Tartars, Hussards and Cossacs"
But the French borrowed the word for
the new neckwear introduced among
them in imitation OF the linen scarfs
worn by the Croatian mercenaries
whom they saw during the Thirty Years
war. In English "cravat' has ranged
in meaning from tie to comforter
and has varied also sn pronunciation,
both Pope and Dryden accentins the
word upon the first syllable.
