A large audience is promised for the
concert to be given by the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra on Sunday after
noon. February 18th, in the Coliseum.
Seats can be reserved from now on
at the Starr Piano Company without
extra charge. This orchestra is the
biggest musical organization that has
ever visited this city as the Thomas
orchestra, which played for the May
Festival a number OF years ago, did
not bring it's entire personnel with it.
There are eighty-five men all of whom
will appear in this city, and there will
be three soloists, the concertmaster,
Richard Czerwonkey, violinist of in
ternational reputation, the harpist and
Miss Ohrman, soprano. The price
was put at a popular one so that all
could attend and the fact that this city
will get to hear an organization at a
nominal figure which packs Carnegie
Hall at two and three dollars a seat
is cause for congratulation. The Or

route to the East because it desires to
play in a city which has the reputation
Of being music loving community.

COUNTY'S WOLF HUNT

of their hand quarters. but would die
from the effects Of the attack.
An attack would be telephoned from
one ranch at daybreak, and at the
same time fresh tracks of the wolves
would be found at another ranch miles
away. This made it confusing and dis
couraging for the stockmen in pur-
suit. The services of Mr.. Elkins, pro
fessional hunter, and his pack of train
ed hounds were obtained, and since
then the wolves have been sighted re-
peatedly and shot at, but never over
taken until crowded back into the
Meadow Creek range.
Great relief is felt and general re-
joicing prevails among rachmen
throughout the country over the fact
that the larger and more vicious one
Of the pair of wolves has been killed
He measures feet 7 inches from tip
to tip, height feet s inches and
weighs $50 pounds.
The chase for the female is being
continued by the hunters, and it is be-
lieved that she will be easily run
down, since her meat getter," as one
of the hunters called the big wolf, is
dead.

FEARLESS RAVENS

From time immemorial ravens have
been the subject Of song, story, and
superstition. Their fearlessness, trick
cry, contradictory manners, artlulness,
harsh note, ugly form, and beautiful
black plumage have formed the theme
for many a bird.lore story.
Perhaps one of the most curious
facts about the raven is that while
there is no more shy bird, or one more
difficult to get near to, when it is wild,
none tames more easily. and when
tanned it is totally fearless. When
wild, the raven will never dare to at
tack any bird, but will steal eggs or
young, and hover around uttering the
most dismal croaks. But once tanned,
he thinks nothing Of walking up to
your dog and using old Towsers back
as a sort of penwiper for cleaning his
beak, and will often go so far, if the
dog is asleep, as to pull the animals
ears and tweak its tail, flying away
with a great scurry when the dog
growls at him, but returning again in
few minutes to renew the attack.

MARINERS QUEER MIXUP

One of the most extraordinary
stories ever told Of the sea is related
by Captain Engellandt, owner of the
steel sailing ship Erndte. He was at
sea with three men on board when a
great gale came sweeping and tearing
and screaming over the waves, and
drove his vessel before IT into the
gathering blackness of night. The
skipper stuck to the wheel all through
the long hours of darkness, and the
gale dying down to a snarling growl
at 4 a. m, he relinquished his post
and stepped down to his cabin for a
change of clothes.
1t was at this moment the real busi-
ness of the day began. He had just
got into dry underclothing when the
vessel quietly turned bottom upward,
and he found himself standing on the
roof of the cabin, with the door over
his head Theoretically sealed by the
ocean. Was ever a man in such straits
before?
He climbed through into the hold
Of the vessel, where he found raisins,
condensed milk, prunes, rice, and, of
course, a Teutonic sausage. Eating
sparingly of this healthy fare, and
hammerlng on the steel bottom of
the boat to attract the attention of
any ship that hight happen to pass.
he spent 12 days in this strange man
ner before he was rescued. The wreck
had to be .towed to a mighty crane
before a steel plate could be unloos-
ened and the skipper be free to look
once more on the blue sky.

Philipsburg, Mont-A big gray wolf
that had been the terror of the stock
men of the Rock Creek country, Gran

run down by a pack of dogs and a
force Of mounted hunters. The wolf
was laid low by six shots fired on the
run by Jack" Guinnane, a rancher of
Rock creek, and Fred Elkins, a profess
sional hunter from Colorado Mr..
Elkins dogs continued the chase for

PEELED the men to discontinue
Wolves were never seen in the
Rock Creek country before last fall
This pair is supposed to have come
across from the Big Hole country.
Many depredations among the stock on
Willow and Rock creeks were COM
mitted by the wolves before stockmen
were aware of their presence in this
section. A few stockmen who knew of
the characteristic manner in which the
wolf attacks his prey started the be-
lief that wolves were actually in the
country, and the stockmen of Granite
county offered a reward of SIS to any
one killing wolf in the besieged sec
tion and afterward raised it to 500,
when the effort to sight a wolf proved
unavailing by individuals on the hunt.
About three weeks ago the whole
Rock Creek country rose up to the
pursuit but found the wolf a willy ami
NAL to deal with. All day the crowd
would track the animal and just before
nightfall be obliged to give up the
chase without a result
The wolves committed their depre-
dations in the dark Of the early morn
Ing, visiting pens or fields where stock
might be corraled for safety and de-
vouring from the living animal what
meat they needed. Colts and two-year-
cid beeves were their special prey.
Sometimes the victims would escape
with the loss of their tails or portions

A SUNLESS VILLAGE

In the valley of the Lyn, near Lyn-
mouth, North Devon, there is quaint
little hamlet called Middleham, where
for three months in the year the sun
is not seen.
The cluster Of houses forming the
hamlet is surrounded on all sides by
hills so steep and high that from No
vember until February the sun does
not rise high enough to be seen over
their tops.
The first appearance of the sun is
eagerly looked for, and as it is first
seen on February IA, the inhabitants
call it their valentine.
II the day should be foggy or
cloudy so that it cannot be seen, there
is great disappointment, especially
among the children.
For the first few days after the
14th the sun is only seen for a very
short time, but as the sun rises higher
in the heavens the time it is in sight
increases daily until its height is
reached, when it gradually begins to
fade from view again until in Novem-
ber it entirely vanishes from sight
for another three months.

The man who finds himself con-

fort from the disclosures Of DR.. Leon
ard P. Ayres of the Russell Sage
Foundation Dr. Ayrcs. in order to

monty, analyzed 1000 personal and

different words in them. Forty-three
words half Of the total number used.
The word u" was repeated oftenest,
and numerous others. including the, -

CURED many times. Il 43 words CON
stitute half of the average correspond
ence, the discovery is startling, al
though the statement has beer rather
frequently made that the ordinary
Americans vocabulary is limited to
800 words. Dr. Ayers raises the ques.
tion if the spelling lists used in the
schools are not too comprehensive.
Why should a boy who will talk and
write in Anglo.Saxon brevity scratch
his head over "metempychosis" and
"ratiocination?" Educators will find
in this something to think about, even
If they DO not agree with DR.. Ayres.
