Mutt, Chief Bully Of the Wolf Dens, Reformed

NEW YORK.-Mutt has reformed.
~ There is no doubt about this. He
is just as nice and amiable now as
any wolf in captivity.
Most of the wolves in the park are
as tame as house dogs. They like to
be petted by the keepers and know
their friends.
When still a cub Mutt showed that
he was going to be different He be-
gan by fighting with his brothers and
sisters and then with all the others in
the dens. His temper and bullying
got worse as he grew older, and then
he was given the name which he now
bears
A few days ago Mutt tried to show
that he was the ruler of the dens by
refusing to let the other wolves eat
any of the meat thrown to them until
ne had taken what he wanted. Even
after he had a full dinner he refused
to let the others get near the meat.
Then a cub, only a year old, decided
to reform the bully. Mutt was chew

Returned Traveller Finds Home Rolling on Skids

n HICAGO-Anton Baca, formerly OF
- GA West Harrison street, came
home the other night after a few
weeks spent with a railway construc-
ton gang in Montana, to find that his
happy home had disappeared
Enoch Arden at least found his
house on his return from his wander
ings, but all that greeted Baca was a
vacant lot Where a few weeks be-
fore had been a happy fireside, wife
and five children, and a family cat,
was now an aching void-a nothing
ness-a vacuum.
Baca made inquiries of the neigh
bors as to where his house had gone,
but none of them was able to give an
intelligent answer. Some limited that
perhaps the railroads had bought up
the property, while others intimated
that Baca's home" was a castle in
Spain.
Reaching South Halsted street in
his quest, he inquired of a policemen:
Have you seen anything Of my house?
1t was here a while ago."
Move on. my man." was the dis
touraging reply.
