Back to the Wild,

There was a time when all dogs
were wild and when what we call
wolves were different from other dogs
only as a collie now is different from
q Newfoundland, for instance. From
time to time you will hear of dogs
that have returned to the life of their
ancestors and have run wild with the
wolves of the prairie or of the woods.
In the town of Sandy in Oregon a
greyhound n night made the &C.
q%uaintance of a coyote. which is a
kind of wolf. and ever since he has
lived away from the town, running
with the coyotes and approaching hu-
man dwelling-places only to steal a
hen or two when he has been more
than usually hungry.

Such is the part the turkey plays
as a tame bird-a pretentious and
pushing person who occasionally col
lapses ANONYMOUSLY. Nor are his
aspect and career as a wild bird
different. for he is one of the few
creatures which have altered very
little in domestication; and though
he may be regarded as the premier
bird Of America, and gains a GER
tain amour of dignity and consid-
GRAFTON thereby, there Is a comic
element in his performances and
misfortunes which robs him of the
dignity Of the feathered mobiles of
the older world. The blackguardly
tendencies which, seen In domesti-
cation, have caused some people to
suggest that he Is called a turkey
because he behaves like the proven
bal unspeakable Turk. are in full
swing In his wild ancestor, who Is
altogether born in sin. His wife, or
wives-for he Is an inveterate polyg-
amist. even in his primitive condi.

poults out Of his way. or he will

and when he conquers and Stays a
rival gobbler, he tramples him when
he is down and done for. His court.
ship Is every bit as absurd In the
wilds as 1t is in the farmyard, and
ancient turkey dowagers emulate
his absurdities in strutting to win
his regard, though the pullets main.

Moreover. the willy hunter brings

make him look undignifed-no other
bird is lured to his end in such
queerly discreditable ways.

Phoenix Charity Worker Says Sick
A People Are Dumped Into FL Paso
and Then Find Their Way
TO ArizOna.

That Albuquerque follows the policy
of shipping all its INDECENT consump-
tives to FL Paso, is the belief of Miss
Gilchrist, superintendent of associated
charities in Phoenix 1t is based on
her recent Investigations in Alouquer-
que and Flagstaff.
This allegation has come to light
through the tracing of cases from Al
buquerque to Tucson and Phoenix. The
charity worker says that Albuquerque
ships its cOnsumptives to FL Paso. and
that many later find their way to
Arizona from this city. On her visit,
however, she was unable to convince
the Albuquerque workers that this was
unfair to FL Paso and Phoenix.
Miss Gilchrist is here to attend the

New York, Sept Mrs. Lillian
Hobart French. formerly of Butte. Mon

nounces that she will do everything
possible to annuI the marriage of r.
Augustus Heinze, the copper king, to
Mrs, Bernice Golden Henderson.
Mrs. French alleges that she has a
contract with Mr.. Heinze to marry her
and also restore to her $500 II Sc
curities which he gave her not long
ago and then took back again.
Last spring Mrs. French gained con-
siderable notoriety when she appeared
as an associate of the exposed Ann

stitute. Letters were found showing
that Mr. Hence too had taken a sympa-
thetic interest in the esoteric cult.
For II years Mrs. French says she
has been waiting for Mr. Heinze. and
a number of graphically written letters
of the copper king will prove her
claim she declares
