The wolf. in spite of its modest share
in the founding Of Rome and making
heroes Of our Boones and other pioneers.
has never been considered of much use
except to embellish a winter tale of snow
or furnish bounties. He has been killed
or pretty generally in the east but In
the west where bounties on his scalp are
the highest, he has thrived. although
most OF the wild animals that the states
sought to preserve have become almost
extinct. Many a farmer boy of Iowa and
Minnesota has wept to see his winter
spendfng money disappear when some
reckless hunter in wantonness has laid
Low the faithful she wolf that for years
has raised her bounty producing litter in

The Winter Use of Fans.

From tho Pathfinder.
There is an old story Of a monk who
would have nothing to do with a stranger
who stopped at his cell. because the fellow
blew on his hands to warm them and
into his teacup to cool the beverage.
Away with thee!'' exclaimed the monk.
IT will have no man about me who blows
both hot and cold from his mouth But
that monk didn't live in the twentieth
century. Had he done So and thrown
away his electric fan because it did as
the stranger did. he would have lost
an invaluable aid. There are many uses
to which the electric fan can be put in
the winter, as. for example. the man
who has q heating plant in his house can
use It for creating a forced draft. thus
aiding much In getting the house warm
on a cold morning. The fan can also
be made to blow through radiator and
distribute the warm air more evenly.
Merchants are now using fans for circu-
lating warm air In the show windows to
prevent the accumulation Of frost OF
course they assist materially in ventila-
ton In both summer and winter.
