 A very disagreeab1e feature during the inspection occurred when the men were passing. the Yale dormitories on Elm and York streets, where the stu dents, leaning from the windows, shout ed and jeered the parade passed by. The rowdyish action, however, did not interfere with the procession as the police ignored the insults entirely, at tributing them to thoughtless persons. Chief Cow1es was very much incensed over the actions of the students and stated so in warm words immediately after the men had been dispersed. "If the students were parading down the street any occasion and they were jeered at, they would call the persons fnuckers and various other uIrty names. Their action yesterday dis played ignorance on all sides and the ungent lemanly conduct of the students I attribute to thoughtless fools,'' said the chief.
 Many of the. other members of the who were in line when the insults were hurled, were also exceed ingly warm under the collars, to say the least, and condemned the actions of the Yale men in much the same manner as did their chief.

BABYS TERRIBLE CONDITION

When my baby boy was six months
old, his body was completely covered
with large sores that seemed to itch
and burn. and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run. making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body. causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
We tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before could see that he was

was entirely cured. He had suffered

we had tried several other things, and

COYOTES IN CHASE
Farmer and Daughter Have
Thrilling Ride in Kansas.
Pack Of Usually cowardly Animals Get
Scent Of Meat in Wagon and
Make Attack. but Are Eluded
in Flight.

Meade, Kan.-F. A. Norris. his
daughter. Mrs. Beulah Robins, and
Mrs. W. o. Johnson, living in Gray
county, were chased by hungry coy
otes while driving TO their home. 1t
was shortly after dark when they
started home by starlight. Shortly
after they crossed Crooked creek they
noticed several animals following
them. At first they believed the pur-
suers were dogs. Then others Joined
the pack and the party found them
selves being chased by pack of hun
cry prairie coyotes.
Ordinarily the Kansas coyotes are
cowardly and seldom venture to follow
human beings. but Mr.. Norris had
lot of fresh meat in the carriage. and
1t is probable the hungry wolves got
the scent of this.
AT first little attention was paid to
the wolves, but as the pack grew in
size and some of the holder wolves
made dashes at the horses, the situa-
ton became more alarming.
Mr.. Norris was unarmed, but, sup
posing the coyotes could be easily
driven off, he stopped the team and
started back with a whip to lash the
animals. To his surprise, they showed
fight and jumped and snapped at him
in such a vicious manner that he
hurried back to the carriage, whipped
up the team and made wild dash for
the nearest settlement.
1t was in sparsely settled section
of southern Gray county Mr. Norris
succeeded in checking the pack for a
time, by throwing out to them the
meat which he was carrying. The
party finally reached home without
mishap further than a good scare.
1T is possible that they were To-
boes, or Texas timber wolves, which
are larger and fiercer than the coy
otes," said Mr.. Norris. Probably the
scent of the fresh meat rendered the
hungry wolves more ferocious than
they otherwise would have been"

ELK TAKE A LONG JOURNEY
Wyoming Herd Transported by Train
and Sled to Oregon
Forest.

Portland, Ore.-More than score of
the elk which were starving in Wy
oming this winter, and consequently
taken in charge by the government
and distributed to places where they
would have chance to live have ar
rived at the CEesninimus forest pre-
serve in this state. Most of their long
journey was made in cattle cars, but
the last 30 miles was by sled on roads
through snow that was about four
feet deep.
The elk were brought to this state
as a result of the establishment of a
popular fund to pay the expenses of
transportation. More than 10000 per-
sons saw the animals at the various
stations on the way, and the game

the very best speller in each district
was obtained, and the class Saturday
was the acknowledged pick of the
county.
The match lasted from ten in the
forenoon till 6:10 in the evening. Each
district champion has hosts of friends
and relatives who came to- see the
event, and the big courtroom was
crowded all day long.

spelling honors from Jefferson city,

can count on Macon county's solid
support for congress or to any other
office that may suit her fancy.

CATS PERPLEX NEW YORK
Advocates of determination Say He
roic Measures Are Necessary to
Avert Real Plague.

New York.-Whether New York
may intrust the disposal of its gar
bage to four-footed scavengers in the
shape of cats, corresponding a way
to the dogs of Constantinople, is the
most striking possibility in the contro-
versy now raging as to whether cats
are a public necessity or a public
nuisance in this city demanding imme-
date recall.
According to the latest feline census
it is estimated that there are 100000
cats in this city, as compared to $4,000
dogs, and in view of the rapidty with
which the former are increasing in
numbers 1t is now proposed either to
license or eXterminate them.
The proposal to license cats is at
tended with many difficulties and OBJ
jections. Aside from the difficulty of
catching a quarter of million strays
and establishing their ownership, one
expert holds that such step would be
on a par with licensing birds, white
mice or rabbits.
On the other hand, an expert of con-
trary views paints a shocking picture
of cat-ridden city in the near future
If steps are not taken to eliminate
these animals.
According to him, in the thickly
populated districts the cats are really
wild animals, attacking chiefly the
odoriferous garbage can. A recent in
vestigation shows that these animals
come out only at night, so that to

The two women were domestic SER

officials of the state declare that the
event has stirred up much sentiment
for the preservation of game.
The herd was located at st. An
thony, Idaho, after having been driven
from the former grazing grounds in
Wyoming. In it was a snow-white
heifer called Lady Whitebird, the most
graceful animal among the elk. The
leaders of the herd were two big bulls
called Taft and Roosevelt. Unlike
those for whom they were named they
were able to get along in peace, and
stood together to repel outsiders.
They held constant station at the door
of the car, and showed desire to
fight wheL there was any sign of dan
ger. 1t was with difficulty that they
were put into the cars on which they
were shipped on sledges to the forest
reserve.

FROM CoWPUNcHER TO SENATE

There has been a tradition that in
termeddling from Washington never
did presidential candidate any good.
The people, it was thought, wanted to
be let alone while making their choice.
AS Woodrow Wilson would say, in
writing confidential letter to a trust
ed friend, that tradition has been
knocked into cooked hat.
Anyway, Washington this year has
become the main show, and energetic
managers at the door urge the
crowds to walk right in, study the lit
erature, gaze at the photographs and
decide the matter for themselves, as
patriots and intelligent men. 1t is a
strenuous business. William Brown
Mckinley, manager for President
Taft, tells me that his physical train
er calls him every morning at $50
o'clock, puts him through his gym
nastics, and then strikes coffee from
his breakfast and tobacco from his
daily comforts. 81 had to hire him."

Altogether, the question as to
