Began Habit When Ono Year
Old, Parents Assert

Waterbury, Conn. Physicians are
puzzled over the case of John Lippke,
Jr., son OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Lippke,
who at three years old smokes daily
three cigars. The child, according to
his parents, has been smoking since
he was Il year old. and all attempts
to break him OF the habit have failed.
The physicians declare they have new
err heard OF a parallel case. Consump-
ton If more than 1000 cigars a year
is not his only accomplishment. for In
addition this infant relishes a pipe and
cigarettes.
The boys father Is a machinist In
one OF the local factories and an in
veterate smoker. About two years
ago. according to Mrs. Lippke, her
baby found a lighted cigar on a table
and picked 1t up. He placed it be-
tween what few teeth he had and puff
ed vigorously. as he had seen his
father do many times. His mother
took the weed away from him, but
the baby cried so hard that she finally
gave it back to him. After that, ac-
cording to the parents. the boy had to
have his smoke every day. in addition
to an occasional cigarette and a pull

WILD ANIMALS
Killed on the National Forests
Methods of Killing the
Animals

Washington, Der. 24.-During the
past year 4. 1856 predatory animals were
killed by federal officers in the nation
al forests.
The rangers bag of beasts of prey
this year. as shown by forest service
figures. was made up of 200 bears,
3 ,541 coyotes. 1873 mountain lions. 81
lynx. $50 wild cats, "a wolves and 81
wolf pups. The national forests are
becoming cleared of wild animals that
prey upon domestic live stock and
game, for the forest ranger fills il
odd moments between other jobs by
thinning out undesirable citizens OF
the animal world.
Wolves are said to cause greater
losses to western ..stockmen than any
other Of the predatory animals. 1t is
estimated that a family of wolves will
destroy about $3, 900 worth of stock
per annum, and that one able bodied
individual costs the grazing industry
5000 q season.
The wolves are of two classes-the
smaller prairie wolves OF coyotes.
aud the larger grey, clark. or thinner
wolves, called ''lobos." These latter
are the great stock destroyers against
which the campaign Of the rangers has
been waged.
The methods of hunting wolves in
the west vary. On the plains wolves
are sometimes hunted with dogs and
horses, but this way is considered
expensive and often dangerous. This
sport IL described by Roosevelt In his
ear lier hunting books. On national
forests the rangers either poison OF
trap, or BY watching trails and hid
ing near u den, shoot the old wolves
when they return from foraging.
The skins are either kept a. sou-
vepire, or sold. Wolf skins in the
west IRE said to bring from a to IS for
rohes and rugs; q mountain lion skin,
go to go, and a bear skin, any
whore from $40 to $50, according to
size and species. In addition to this
there are bounties on bear. lions. and
