The offering at the Fargo opera
house in the near future will be The
Red Rose, a musical comedy in three
acts, by Henry b.. ana Robt. B. Smith,
with music by Robert Hood Bowers,
which has made a sensational hit in
New York City at the Globe theatre.
The production is under the personal
direction of John C.. Fisher, the noted
producer of Florodora ana The silver
slipper and many other musical sue
cesses. The company is unusually
large and is said to include some stun
ming young There are twenty
eight musical numbers, with a variety
of popular song hits and others of
greater musical worth. From a scenic
and costume point of view The Red
Rose is said to be a sensation. Money
has been spent galore. It is, in
short, a dressmaker's and m~illiner's
delight. The story tells the following
tale: A young American studying art,
falls in love with a model lola. His
wealthy father objects to the marriage.
Stormy scenes follow, but in the end,
Dick Lorimer, the young American,
obtains some pictures taken by a NOV
ing picture syndicate, showing the an
tics of the father with a young art
student. This, coupled with the dis
covery that Lola is really a baron's
daughter, enables Lorimer to overcome
his fathers objections, and the last
act ends with a scene reminiscent of
Sapho, when the student carries his
fiance up a flight Of steps and they
waltz way in true yiennese musical
comedy style and are married.
The cast includes some of the best
known musical comedy artists.
One of the features of the perform
ance is the Students Glide, a sensa-
tional dancing number which is now
the talk Of New York. 1t is a feature
that would bring success to any mu-
steal play, NJ matter how weak it may
be in libretto or music. 1t is difficult
to describe it's charm and requires to
be seen to be appreciated.

coyote is often confused with the
wolf. 1t is known in the fur
trade as prairie wolf or coyote,
and sometimes just wolf. The
coyote is smaller than the wolf.
It's fur is finer. 1t has a thinner
skin. It's ears are larger. Their
ears are erect. The VOLTS ears,
are more pointed and it has
longer tail according to its size.
A full grown coyote weighs
from Is to-, IS pounds. An aver
age one measures 4 feet 10 inches
from the point of the nose. to the
tip of the tail, with a tail of about
IS inches.
In different localities wolves
receive different names, such as
gray wolf, white wolf, black
wolf, etc. They vary greatly in
size and color, but in every other
way they are the same. The
most common color is gray. Sew
eral different colors can some
times be seen in one pack and
even in one den. An average size
wolf stands e inches at the
shoulders and weighs about Is
pounds, and measuring nearly g
feet. They vary in size from so
to 100 pounds and measuring as
much as six and a half feet. The
white wolves are generally the
largest, but there are large and
small wolves among all colors.
The largest wolves l ever seen
was a nearly black one and a
white one.

OF this country every year. They
also prey upon rabbits and in the
springtime the prairie hens suffer
from their depredations. They
kill the hen on her nest and then
eat the eggs.
While the coyote is the worst
enemy of the sheep the wolf is the
worst enemy of the cattle and
horses "A wolf sometimes kills
generally quite a number
and coyotes sometimes kill
calves, but not very often.
Both coyotes and wolves have
a large number of pups, often as
many as 10. They bring them
forth in April and May. They
have holes in rocks or in large
badger holes for their dens. They
have more than one den, some
times as many as a dozen within
a mile or two, so as soon as they
are molested they move to a new
one.
Coyotes are generally shy,
cowardly creatures, but they will
sometimes come close to a per-
son to fight with the dogs.
