rauder is. He knows that the coyote
is paying him an unlimited visit as is
his way, and il he arises and takes his
more or less trusty gun and sallies
forth in search of his enemy. he will
do well if he but catches a glimpse of
the heet-footed, Quick-witted robber.
Long before his arrival at the scene
of the raid, most likely. the wiley coy.
ote will have taken the return trail
with his fat fowl in his watering jaws,
il he has been fortunate in his efforts
and if not successful, then he goes as
he came, empty of provisions and cor
respondingly disheartened. When the
dish of his preference is not to be had
he will turn to other if less enticing
viands At times he is vegetarian,
eating pumpkins and the like; again,
he is a Unitarian. and the rancher's
vineyards and orchards will receive
his attention. Yet it is a question in
the minds of many whether the occa-
siona. fowl that the coyote purloins,
or the small amount of vegetables and
fruit compensates him for the bene-
fit he returns in destroying many of
the ranchman's greatest enemies.
The coyote will run down and ks1l
the long-eared jackrabbits, whose
sharp teeth and large appetites do so
much harm, and, too, the smaller cot
tontail who does his share of damage.
He destroys many ground squirrels,
gophers, mountain rats and other
pests.
At one time, some years ago, the
coyote was hunted by horsemen and
! bounds, as the fox is hunted in other
! places. Packs of fine grayhounds
were kept for that purpose, though
! fcxhounds were also used. In recent
! years the cutting up of a great deal
CT territory into small ranches, and the
| building of towns and villages has put
an end to organized coyote hunts with
| horses. Near the towns the coyote
stays we'll back in the hills during the
daytime, and only descends into the
valleys when darkness has obscured
the land and he may in its friendly
shelter enter the precincts of man un-
noticed. Then he is stealthy, making

Berlin-To the horror and disgust
% Kaiser Wilhelm, Crown Princess
Cecelie has announced her intention
to give up life in palaces and castles
and live thereafter in hotels. More
trouble seems ahead for the royal
family, as both the kaiser and his
daughter-in-law are strong minded
persons, and the kaiser is determined
that the old tradition about royalty
living in castles shall not be broken.
If trouble comes over this little do
nestle difference the kaiser will blame
the Princess Of Pless for it all. The
Princess of Pless, who is regarded as
all Germany, put the idea in Cecelie's
head. She has been living in a hotel
for some time and thinks this is the
only way for a royal person to live.
Not long ago, in a tete-a-tete with the
crown princess, she dilated upon the
joys of hotel life something in this
wise:
My dear Cecelie, you are missing
half of the Joy of living l, too, have
lived in castles and palaces, but il
was only when my husband and took
up life in a hotel that l really began
to live. II is WONDERLAND house

planning Of great dinners, etc. I can
give the most elaborate dinners and
the smartest 5 O'Clock teas on Just
enough notice to send out my invita-
tons or to call my friends.
Then I know Just what these az
fairs cost. including flowers, wines
and cigarets. Why don't you try it?
If you did you would not exchange
this free, happy life for all the palaces
you nov have or caa ever possess"
Needless to say, the remarks of the
Princess OF Pless made a deep i'm
preston on the crown princess, who
has travelled enough to know that no.
tel life has some very distinct adTan
tsges That veTy day she took the
o7ow1 PRICE into her confidence and
