laz1ly, stare stupidly in our direction for few minutes and lie down again A good imitation of a wolfs howl from the Indian brought instant ac- tivity to the scene. Every animal was on its feet in a moment, and some young bulls which we had not noticed before came over the brow of the hill. The master of the herd became very busy with the rounding up of the cows which he had acquired in open com bat, and any attempt to stray was re- warded by savage putting from what seemed to be very fine pair of ant lers. This grouping of the cows. as they appear in the photograph, may have been intended as a protection from an attack of wolves, but moro probably 1t was merely an act of jeal- ousy prompted by the presence of the young bulls. The old bull still took no notice of us, although we were sit ting boldly up on the snow, and after few minutes left the COWS to drive away his rivals. who showed no de. sire to come to close quarters. Soon after this photograph was taken we noticed that the big bull had for the first time come clear of the band, and the time had arrived for the head hunter to stain the snow with the blood of his victim. It was a good open shot, not easily missed, and the head seemed to be big enough to form welcome addition to any collection However. on this occasion we had plenty of meat in our camp at tho edge of the last timber, and, after all. head never looks better than on an animals shoulders. The caribou now began to move quietly away without the least haste, still unaware that two representatives of their deadliese enemies had been sitting within Q hundred yards of them for half an hour. They seemed simply conscious that some unfriendly influence had ap- peared on the lonely mountain to dis turb their midday rest.

RICH WOMAN wEDs BURGLAR
Wealthy French Girl Offered Her Hand and Fortune to Criminal
 to Reform Him.

A curious example of feminine co centricity was the marriage which re- gently took place at Versailles. of . wealthy young French woman of that city to a notorious burglar, who ap- peared in the Assize court immediate ly after the ceremony. She offered her hand and her fortune solely, she said, fin the hope of redeeming him and causing him to forsake his evil ways" The bridegroom was Desire Ferger, a bandit, aged forty-four, whose sensational exploits have ob- tained for him a species of celebrity in criminal annals. Not long ago he was sentenced to five years hard labor by the Seine Assize court, but he contrived very cleverly to escape from prison. A few months later he was recaptured To avoid as long as possible undergoing his sentence he simulated madness, and was sent to a lunatic asylum. Once again he es- capped, but a short time ago he was recognized and taken prisoner. Con- fined in the Versailles jail. it was his legal defender, Maitre Coret, who brought him the singular ofrer made by wealthy young lady. The burglar did not hesitate to accept the good fortune offered him.

Chicago-The body of a woman lay in the morgue at the Rhodes avenue hospital the other night It was poor ly dressed. The gown was pttifully threadbare. The face, drawn and careworn, and the hands folded quietly across the breast, gave the appearance of great weariness.
 But there was a smile upon the lips that stopped even the most casual of the passers-by. It was the smile of one who runs out into the sunshine to greet long looked for friends-the smile of mother clasping to her heart children from whom she has been long parted. The woman was Mrs. Louise Irish.
 At o'clock in the afternoon she was found half conscious and appar- ently under the influence of an opiate at her residence at 3206 Cottage Grove avenue. A box of laudanum tablets was at her bedside. A taxicab carried her to the hospital. where, although the oxygen and pulmotor treatments were used, she could not be revived.
 The theory that Mrs. Irish may have taken her own life is suggested by the facts of her history for three years. The last important event in this history prior to her death was the recent drowning of her 12-year-old son, Charley, while skating on Lake Michigan.
 There had been other tragedies pre- ceding this-tragedies that had given powerful significance to the mothers exclamation when the body of her boy was brought home to her. What she said was:
 Poor Charley; he's gone. too. and now am alone-alone." And with the last "alone" Mrs Irish wrung her hands.
 Three years ago her husband de serted her. He left her without a cent to support a daughter. velma. aged 14, and the boy. She had only one other relative. a sister. Miss Dora ity, to look for help. Dora promptly eliminated this possibility of help by disappearing soon after Irish did.
 For four months Mrs. Irish strug- gled along. It was hard work, but the family managed to live. Then the girl. velma, was seized with diphtheria. Insufficient food and other elements entered into her case. Anyway, she died Mrs. Irish was deeply afiected by this. People living near her fears she might lose her reason.
 After the boys death Mrs. E1ss1 zcss. to her bed. She did not seem to want to live and when she A1no<e at all it was to reiterate the Exclamation: "Alonel AloneI"
 Early in the afternoon Dr. Ecul1e Heller, who has been attending her, found her in a semi-conscious c.tdt ton. There was the same smile 0n her face that was there when she dieds, She recognized the doctor when she sat down beside her.
 I'm going away" she said dream- fly. with that happy smile. I'm going away to see them-to SC them both You mustn't blame me. I couldn't bear to stay here all alone"

,1NE HALBERT THEIR PLANT
They Want Another Meeting Called for
Purpose oil Putting Up More
Candidates.

st. Paul, September 25.-Sixteen
members of the progressive state
central committee telephoned to H.
T. Halbert Monday afternoon to
register their disapproval of the
stand taken by republican nominees,
who were endorsed by the progress
ives, and of republican congressional
nominees.
A few of the more indignant COM
mitteemen, Mr.. Halbert said, urged
that the progressive committee of
tire state ticket of progressives,
with progressive candidates for con-
gress, be nominated by petition.
Others were anxious that J. A. A.
Burnquist, Attorney General Lyndon
A. Smith, State Treasurer Walter
j. Smith and congressional candi-
dates who were declared to be in
sympathy with the progressive
movement be put squarely on record
as to whether or not they will
indorse the Roosevel.-Johnson ticket
and the national platform of the
progressive party.
Not Satisfied With Statements.
Linton B. Swift, Hennepin county
committeeman, J. @. Macintosh Of
Saltwater, and 7. J. Conroy Of st.
Paul conferred with Mr.. Halbert
Monday. They said they did; not
want to be put in the position of
threatening to oppose congressional
candidates and candidates for state
office. who were indorsed, but that
they were not satisfied with the
statements.
The four committeeman declared
they did not disapprove of the state
ments made by the candidates be-
cause they indicated that they in.
tended to support Governor Eber-
hart and the republican state ticket
as opposed to P. ". Collins, pro.
gressive nominee.
Their Chief Concern. :.
Their chief concern was their in
depreciation of the statements to
mean. that, the Endorsed candidates
intended to support the republican
ticket from top to bottom including
President Taft and Vice President
Sherman, though expressing per-
sonal preference for Colonel Roose-
welt and the progressive party. They
promised that some action would
be taken within the next few days.
Petitions Were Held Up.
The petitions for progressive
candidates for state office, which
were to be sent out Monday were
held up pending more definite dec
larations from the state candidates
Endorsed.
The fight made by members OF
the progressive committee for can
didate for secretary of state to op-
pose Julius A. Schmahl, republican
nominee, has not been given up. 1t
is still possible that Schmahl may
be opposed in the November elec-
ton.

the republican nomination to the

day that he had stated that both
he and Mr.. Peterson would give
