Boy Beats Wolf to Death.

Ray Ward, 12-year-old son of
Charles Ward, owner of the big Ward
ranch north of Santa Fe, was victor
recently in a fierce fight with a wolf.
The boy was out herding when the
wolf came in sight. A thrilling chase
of seven miles followed, in which
young Wards fleet cattle pony was
victor, the wolf at last coming to bay
on the open prairie. The boy was
unarmed but, according to the story,
jumped from his pony to kick the
beast to death. AS he struck the
ground the wolf caught him by the
leg. Ward spun around, throwing the
animal off. The boy then retreated a
short distance to a pile of bones ly-
ing on the prairie. Selecting thigh
bone for club he returned and in a
fierce encounter beat the wolf to
death.

MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it!
The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time.
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.

ada, and he is coming to visit some
friends in Newton here. It seems
that Lady Thurston has written to
aunty. They were school girls to-
gether. They made some sentimental
arrangements when they were young
for connecting the two families. IN
plain words, 1 think that one of the
motives of Mr.. Thurston in visiting
Newton is to see if poor little mo is
good enough to become the niece of
a high and mighty member of parlia-
ment.'
In other words" said Dick, eff you
suit him, this young scion of nobility,
he may ask you to marry him. Well,
if he does, you will tell him
what?'
How can you ask-how dare you
ask" cried Ethel Indignantly. You

Then what are you worrying
about?" challenged Dick.

kinds of scolding and unpleasantness.
They will learn that we are attached
to one another. Then there will be
a storm

nabob sees you he is lost. Now let
me make a suggestion. My sister
Eve is trying to write some stories.
1t is wonderful how that demure little
miss can think up all the ingenious
plots she does. You go to her. Ethel.
and see if she cannot devise some
way to help you out of this sad mud
die
The two girls set their wits at
work. They had little to proceed on be-
side the fact that Mr. Thurston was a
very prim, circumspect youHg man.
Ethel had painted the young Cana
dian as wearing monocle, having a
cultured drawl to his voice, and very,
very English in an unbearable way.
She was little surprised the first
evening she met Mr.. Thurston at a
lawn party. Certainly he was re-
served and rather formal in his ways,
but there was nothing to indicate
loneliness nor ostentation- The eve
ming visitor, however, Dick Wade,
fairly gasped as his fair inamorata
appeared upon the scene.
She was made up as to facial adorn-
ment in a way that was truly shock
ing. Her usually neat and tasty at
tire was lacking. An nl-ftting gown,
too short by several inches, hung
loosely upon her and her hair was
dressed in the most outlandish fash
ion.
Her friends stared in wonderment
at her boisterous greeting of the
guest of the occasion Ethel used
faulty grammar. It was quite evident
that Mr.. Percival Thurston was not
only very much disappointed but
positively shocked

you or anybody else, but somebody
merely spoke to me about it. I re-
