Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-03-14

few days ago. There we're so men
on horseback and about as many on
foot. They sighted about half dozen
wolves, but none shot. Dorm & Repp's
bear dogs were taken to hunt the
wolves, and one belonging to Attor-
ney T. P Reep of Petersburg did not
return after the hot chase. 1t is the
theory that the wolf being hard
pressed took to the water and crossed
to Logan county with the dog.
Should an Illinoisan visit the hub of
culture in the far east and be asked
if wolves caused any trouble now days
"out west" the Rossville resident
would be compelled to answer in the
affirmative. A great many complaints
have been made of chickens and young
pigs being molested. There seems to
be number of wolves in Point Pleas
ant also.
About three years ago DR.. George
Zeller received a wolf puppy at the
Peoria state hospital at Bartonville,
which was placed in an enclosure
with four others. A few days ago IT
broke out of it's place and was seen
sinking about the grounds. DR.
Kahn, noted rife shot, was sum
moned. He lay in ambush with his
trusty rife, and finally a chance came
and he aimed and fired and the vol
kicked the snow. Hence the story of the
beautiful wolf hide rug in the library

effect in later life. Similarly is there danger
that the child will attempt to walk at earlier
age than is desirable. From earliest childhood
the average Indian girl has been subjected to that
rigorous outdoor life which results in making
them almost perfect physically For instance,
there may be cited the method followed in giving
an Indian child bath,-a weekly event. The

point where she felt she could do Jus

ness.
"Send him to me when you want
him spanked" said Miss Manners one
morning, after her colleague had re-

About II o'clock Tommy appeared at
Miss Manners door. She dropped her
book, grasped him firmly by the hand,

HIM over her knee and administered
punishment.
When she had finished she said,
