COYOTE is MALIGNED

and the wolf, as they are commonly
called on the ranges, led the dogs into
trap. A half dozen other coyotes
came out from ravine and took after
the dogs. Suddenly the wolf that was
being pursued stopped and in mo-
ment there was the all-firedest fight
you ever saw. They killed one of the
dogs before l could get close enough
to unlimber my Winchester and get
into the game.
"A wolf knows when he is in danger
and when he is not. Once l had a
coop Of chickens in camp. The coyotes
were prowling about, so I took the
coop out on the prairie not far away
and surrounded it with wolf traps
Early the next morning 1 took my re-
volver and went out to see if l had
caught anything. Not trap had been
disturbed. While I stood there seven
of the rascals snooped up out Of the
darkness and surrounded me- They
came up to within ten feet of me and
began to expect a fight. l drew
away from them, making toward camp,
thinking to unchain the dogs and have
an early morning chase. They fol-
lowed. but when they caught smell of
the dogs, they took to their heels.
There is something queer about
the bowling of coyotes. 1t reminds
me more Of Indians dancing than any
thing else. think the Indians learned
some of their antics from the coy
otes; and then again when you re-
member how smart the doggoned
coyote is, it may have been the other
way, he may have caught the trick
from watching the Indians.
One night, several years ago, saw
coyote come Looping along until he
reached little knoll, where he
stopped. He sat up on his launches
and emitted a CHASTITY long-drawn
yowl. Silence followed; then another
yowl. In ten minutes a dozen other
coyotes gathered around him. In.
stead of sitting up on their launches
like the first one they circled around

there are many dainty ways of cook

Apples baked with figs are sure to
be liked. Select the plumpest and

wash them, carefully pinching them
into their natural shape. Then select
good, firm apples, and wash them.

Mrs. Goodhue's invention does not

hatpin, the point is sharp, and it would
be as dangerous a weapon as the kind

told Doctor Crumbine that hops were
used by the natives Of India in the

allowed to grow all over the little

manufacturers weren't simply using tip

for being to those who understand the
art of dress, the wild contrast in color

Some of the ready.made fancy

coarse floss and tinsel at the 'front.'
One little beauty of faded and yet
deepish blue had red roses and green
leaves In the lining and sort of
purple embroidery with tinsel touches

design were In every color imaginable,
the embroidery matching or contrast

five dollars. The bodices are for wear
with the smarter coat suits of cloth
best when matching the skirt or suit

would be intensely vulgar If relegated
to everyday wear. In fact, the fancy
bodice signifies some elegance in the
get-up, though a yelled waist In a

Instead of continually buying lace

cheaper to buy coarse torchon lace the

tacks. Whenever dirty, take of, wash
and iron. This will last for years and
your pantry will always be fresh and
clean.
