Coyotes; Habits and Habitat.
the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Warm weather reports from enterpris-
ing correspondents that the coyote is
threatened with extinction fail to carry
conviction. Our faith is strong that there
will be pretty good coyote coursing on
both slopes of the Rockies when these
correspondents are enjoying their second
childhood.
The coyote is the little brother of the
Indian. When the buffalo vanished from
the plains the Indian shot his rifle into
the air, wrapped his blanket closer about
him and came into the reservation to
grow fat and unpicturesque under fed
sral auspices. When the jack rabbit and
molly cottontail vanish from the plains
and foothills the howl of the last coyote
will sink into silence beyond the Great
Divide Until that far day arrives, how
ever. hang the bacon high, for while the
rabbit remains the most skillful four
legged forager the world ever knew will
bay at the moon by night and keep just
out of rifle range by day. The coyote
knows more about traps than Canadian
.'voyageur," is an expert on strychnine
and never falls for the dead-fall. He is
rather fond of lambs and calves, but
rabbits are the oatmeal of this phan-
tom highlander, and as Diamondfield
Jack Davis would say. where two or
three of these are gathered together
there you will find the coyote, seeking
to stow one of them into his midst:'

The Father of Tobacco Smoking.

From the London Chronicle.
1t is quite hopeless to trace out the
fathers of smoking in general and to-
bacco smoking in particular. Who first
drew in smoke of any kind through a
pipe in England and who first of our
countrymen took to tobacco will always
remain disputable. 1t Is equally uncer-
tain which western tribe made the SUBJ
lime discovery. There is even dispute as
to whether tobacco takes its name from
the island of Tobago, from the Yucatan
Florida, or from y-shaped pipe which
the people of Hispaniola smoked with
their noses Only one name is definitely
associated with the great institution. that
of Jean Nicot the French ambassador to
Portugal, who spread the fame of the
herb through Europe And, of all who
are familiar with nicotine" today, how
many associate it with Nicot, or have
even heard or him?

THE AMERICAN CAPITAL.
An Observer Of Washington Lift
Gives His Impressions.


Unlike London or Paris or Berlin.
Washington is single-heartedly in the
business of being capital. That means
that 1t attains to a great deal of gayety
In it's spare time in a city where spare
time is measured out In double handfuls.
Washington is a social center for many
grades of society; so. although the social
season for gold-lace aristocrats ends
soon after Lent, for the rest Of us real
gayety at the capital begins with the
first warm days of March and progresses
with the buds and leaves. In front of
Washington's most pretentious hotel half
of the conveyances that are backed up
to the curb are taxicabs. and the other
half are one-horse hacks. The taxi is
for Them; the hacks for the Rest of Us!
The chief duty that We ordinary folks
owe to form in the capital is that of
smoking gift cigar in the office of the
representative from our congressional
district. After that we stroll out to en-
joy the freedom of the city; to relish the
general cheer. Down the broad side
walks under the elm trees. from late aft
ernoon till bedtime, schoolboys and clerks
exult in horseplay or go marching as
many as six abreast and singing in
CLOSE harmony" In appropriate ratio
to this army Of the easy-going and the
care-free, there are hOrdes OF pretty
schoolgirls ana unemployed young Wom-
en-. Flirting and love-making may be
studied here at great advantage: Multi
tudes of grinning negroes heighten the
impression Of pleasantness and leisure.
The motor cars glide softly and at a
speed regulated by comfort; and there
are more carriages left in Washington
than in most other prominent cities. The
presence of senators and representatives.
half of whose duties are social. and OF
scores of scientists to whom discoveries
are Of the greatest importance but lapse
of time is of no moment whatever. adds
further to the general impression Of ease.
In a dairy lunchroom in Washington We
have heard a porter and a counter man
argue for fifteen minutes over the best
way to arrange Strawberries on a saucer.
Philosophy, too. is given much attention.
In restaurants we have heard morality,
religion and government discussed over
the breakfast table calmly and at great
length These straws show that the Rest
Of Us enjoy the capital as much in our
own way as any one in the exclusive So
cial set does. AS We saunter down the
avenues bordering and debating. or ride
in economical luxury in one-horse hack
the city reminds us Of a college town in
commencement time.

Tabloid Fiction.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
This is the nervous age. We live ten
times as fast, we understand ten times as
rapidly. as did our ancestors. and we have
read and heard a hundred times az
much as they could read and hear. So II
is only natural and logical that We should
balk at epics in the line of verse. and at
thousand-page novels. just we cannot
afford to sit at dinner six or eight good
hours, for lack of time and constitution
That is why. especially during the last
two decades the short story-something
to be taken in, enjoyed, Immediately di-
gested-has become our literary favorite
and that is also why our authors have
learned to serve 1t up to us In very spicy.
appetiZing shape. -

Snuff Boxes.
rom the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Snuff boxes are not what they used TO
be. More people take snuff than Is COM
monty thought, but their tastes are nor
nice as to the utensils, receptacles and
agencies of the foible. Snuff boxes are
sometimes given by sovereigns to dis
tinguished visitors, as souvenirs, but the
recipients are not even under implied obs
LEGATION to fill them with rappee. The
great prices realized at the Schroeder
sale of snuff boxes in London may bring
them into vogue again, at least with coll
lectors but with collectors only. Count
Nesselrode, the Russian statesman OF the
last century, was a famous collector or
snuff boxes. He collected them as di-
piomatist, receiving one or two for each
treaty he signed. and when he had got
500 900 worth of them turned them into
cash and became capitalist. His CAPT.
tai he invested SO judiciously that his
descendants are multi millionaires. The
moral of Count Nesselrode's experience
is that a snuff box is not to. be sneezed
at.

slower gait because ii has acquired so
much momentum on its way. On this
account may we apprehend that the
new generations which shall follow ours

be still fonder of tabloid entertainment
yes, time wing pleasure-and will call
for fiction concentrated SO that their
popular novels will in size be little more

Just thirty years ago today lady at

few seeds OF st. Johns wort sent her

at hand for medicinal purposes. The
hardy weed, however, soon spread beyond
the garden. and before any one had
grasped the magnitude of the evil it had
been carried by cattle along all the main
stock routes and jumped the Victorian

Clyde Johnson induced the Peasants
county convention to indorse his idea OF
having state convention called for this
year to select the United States senator
ial nominee. Johnson, who is an ardent
Bryan man, previously wrote several
pieces for the papers along this line. but
his home county is the only one which
manifested sufficient interest to discuss
it, and that was because he was a lead
ing figure in the convention.
If John w. Davis should be elected TO
the House, democrats say, he will be the
logical candidate for the United States
Senate provided the legislature is of bis

New York, Nov. l2.-Tha specula-
tion In stocks displayed very little in
itiative today. Prices moved slug
~ishlv and indecisively. The severe
3ecline after the election and the
respond which followed seemed to
have reduced the commitments press
inc for immediate settlement to in
SIGNIFICANT proportions. Today there
was no urgent pressure of liquidation
and demand was infrequent Final
nrices showed insignificant changes
from last night.
The British political crisis is re-
earded as important in it's possible
bearing on international money relaI
tions. The advance today in the pri-
vate discount rate in London showed
i'm what direction the influence might
become directly effective.
The immediate easing of teh money
market in New York has not encour
aeed long extension of speculative
commitments in stocks. There WAS
caution in the dealings and dullness
was the consequence.
The bank statement showed an un-
eypectedly large increase in the actual
cash holdings. Compared with ac-
cOmpanying contracts of loans this
offered substantial gain i'm the sur
