Healthy Girls.

It Is not longer fashionable with the
fair sex to feign delicacy, nor are the
girls of the coming generation actual
ed by an insane desire to appear frag-
lie and genteel, at the expense of
health. The scores Of buxom, bright
eyed young ladies one will meet in any
OF our public thoroughfares any after
noon is ample evidence of the truth OF
the assertion, says Woman's Life. No
longer do the fair ones seem wan and
pale to look upon, nor is their style of
locomotion suggestive of effort. but.
on the contrary, nearly all seem strong
and 1.-the of limb, and with cheeks sur
fused with the ruddy glow of health.
Doctors generally agree that there is
far less sickness among the sex than
had formerly been the case. and this
could be attributed solely to the
glorious practice young ladies had Of

Rough and Tumble Fight With

Are Shot.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-To crawl into a
wolf den with rifle and fight life
and death battle with gray wolves
those pest of the range-was the ex-
perience of George Porch, a rancher,
living in the region between the Mis-
souri, river and the Black Hills, in
! western South Dakota.
The gray wolves of that part Of the
state are unusually large and fierce,
and when the region was devoted to
cattle raising, it was nothing uncom-
mon for the wolves to attack and kill
half-groWn steer. The losse OF
; stockmen from the raids of these
pests being greater than from any
other cases, not even excepting the
herds of cattle were turned loose on
the open range to shift for themselves
until spring.
Recently the small ranchers, who
have supplanted the big cattlemen.
| have suffered considerable loss from
the depredations of gray wolves, and
Porch and four neighbors started to
run down and kill the varmints which
tad been particularly active in killing
their cattle and sheep.
The five men came upon the trial
Of four fullgrown wolves, and after
following the trail several miles,
killed one of them on the open
prairie. The other three animals wero
cornered in a cave. Porch, however,
when the party reached the opening
to the VOLTS den, did not hesitate, but
entered the cave after the wolves.
He crawled a mile or more into the
side of the high bluff before he
reached the lair.
1t was necessary at times to en-
large the hole which, while large
enough to admit of the passage of
the wolves was not large enough at
some points for a man to pass. One
of Porch's companions did a part Of
this work while engaged in enlarging
the passage Porch suddenly saw
ahead of him, in the darkness, six
sparkling bright eyes. But there was
no stopping short of securing the
three wolf pelts which he had set
out to capture. Some more trimming
out of the hole and he was near
enough to fire a shot from his rifle
straight into the group Of shining
wolf eyes ahead Of him.
Bang went the rifle and in an in
slant all was darkness and smoke
Porchs lantern was extinguished by
the conclusion of the rifle. He re-
lighted the lantern and saw the body
Of one wolf.

Soldier Victim of Rare Afflicti

His remarkable recovery and the
fact that he retains his reason are
the most remarkable features o. this
case. While he is alive, in good
health and able to walk around the
streets and converse with his friends
and acquaintances, Dunn is handt
capped by the loss of all sense OF
smell or taste and has lost the sight
OF his right eye. Despite these af.
tude. He cannot enjoy meal, for no
matter what choice viands he may Or
der, he cannot relish them any more
than he would bareback and salt pork
The loss of the sense of taste he
looks upon as his worst affection.
Tommy Dunn, as he Is known among
his friends, is a ward of the govern
ment, though not Of his own choosing,
for he has relatives and influential
friends who take care of him and look
after his comfort at all times. His
impaired eyesight has proved an OBJ
stacle toward his securing employ
ment, and idleness is something he
breads because of his Affections. His
only amusement is to join several con-
genial companions and tell stories Of
past experiences, or to take street car
rides or journeys through the country
in automobiles. He cannot go to the
theater, being handicapped by partial
blindness and fearful lest the glare of
the lights shall impair the sight Of
his remaining eye.
AS ward of the government Dunn
must report at Washington or some
ether military headquarters at certain
periods and to undergo the periodical
examination required by the surgeon
generals office.
