wife full in the face as she was step

WALL STREET CONFUSED
Value Of New Standard Oil Stock Is
Unknown.

New York. Dec. Nothing like
the new Standard Oil stock certificates
distributed today had ever been seen
before in Wall street. Even their ap-
pearance was confusing for the 80
certificates We're printed in 80 differ

confusion was that no one had any
idea of what they were worth.
Standard Oil never has made pub
lie its financial affairs nor has it pub
hshed annual reports, as most large
corporations do. The value Of the
stock has been fixed by the size of
It's dividends. which, of course, repre-
scented the combined earnings Of the

outside of the company itself has any
idea as to the earning capacity OF the

Coyote Pack Chases
Party in Buggy for
Miles, Over Prairie

MEADE kan, Nov IA pack of
coyotes, which are ordinarily afraid OF

relatives fot several hours across the
pralries near here last night. The party
was driving home from here in a buggy
A large amount Of fresh meat was carried
in the vehicle and it Is supposed this at
tracted the animals.
All the coyotes did not begin to follow
the party at one time. At first there were
only a few ln the pack. Then several
larger animals Joined the band, and soon
some OF the bolder and bungrier ones
dashed at the horses, Norris leaped from
the buggy and struck some OF the animals
with a whip. TO his surprise they turned
on him and showed fight
Be.pg unarmed, Norris was badly fright
ened. He managed to return to the buggy
seat unharmed and then lashed his horses
into a gallop in an effort to escape the
hungry pack. The coyotes proved good
runners, however.
As a last resort several chunks OF fresh
meat were thrown out to the animals
and this checked the attack until the
party reached a town.
