MANY WOLVES ARE KILLED
Hunters Are Also Bagging Bears in
Large Numbers in Northern
Wisconsin Forests.

Superior.-A condition which has
excited surprise on the part of hunt
ers during the present deer season is
the heavy slaughter of wolves and
bears which has been reported from
northern Wisconsin forests. Should
the present rate of killing keep up
until the close of the season for deer
the dens of the wild beasts will be
depleted to vast degree.
A Dedham hunter bagged six bears
in one week, and many instances
wherein wolves have been slaugh-
tered in groups have been reported.
According to parties from the vi
entity of Dedham, wolves are much
in evidence in that territory and con-
ditions indicate that the county will
be compelled to pay heavier boun-
ty this year than for several years
past

WISCONSIN CAT TURES TITLE
Badgers Defeat Minnesota, IL to O..
in Gridron Battle Superior
Dash Wins Game.

Madison Wisconsin returned to
its own on the gridiron at Minneap-
oils. The greatest Badger eleven that
has stepped onto gridiron since the
days of juneau, Driver and Cochems
and other heroes of decade ago
trampled on Minnesota's northern gi-
ants IA to 0.
By their victory the Cardinal boys
annexed an undisputed claim to the
championship of the west for the
first time in more than a dozen
years. It was a case of superior dash
winning for the Badgers. They got
the jump on Williams men in the
second quarter and before the pom
derous Gophers had thoroughly
awakened the scoreboard showed IA
points for Juneau's men, with Min
nesota scoreless.
Of the individual players Van Ri
per was tower of strength, his line
smashing netting long gains. Tand-
berg and Bright also played marvel
ously strong games. Gillette's punt
ing resulted in good gains, and no lit
tie credit must be given him for the
victory.

Graceful East Indians.

Describing the women of India, a
writer says: Even the most withered
toil-worn hag has a dignity of carriage
and a grace of motion that the west
ern woman might envy. The 'sari is
draped in an easy flowing style and
adjusted as it slips back with grace.
full turn of the silver bangled arm,
the skinny legs move rythmically, and
the small feet fall with a silent and
pantherlike tread. 1t is the beauty
of natural and untrammeled motion,
and says much in favor of the abol
ton of the corset, for the Indian wo-
men retain their uprightness and sup
pIeness of figure till bowed with age.
THE commonest type is the coolie
woman, who undertakes all sorts OF
rough work, carrying heavy burdens
on her head, and she is, perhaps, the
least attractive, for her workaday
garments are usually faded and dirty;
yet, even among this poor class OF
burden bearers. we see many with
handsome straight features and supple
well proportioned figures.
mo matter how poor their gar
ments, jewelry of some sort is worn;
necklaces of gold or beads, colored
glass or silver bangles and heavy sill
yer anklets."
