PAYS FOR 81
WOLF SCALPS
County Auditor Collins Busy Issuing
Warrants for Wolf Bounties-
Many Dens Located.
FRED WILDER RECEIVES $4,000
A. L. Rogers Digs Up Nest Of Five
Cubs on the George Sprecher
Farm West Of Town.

From the number of wolf bOunties
which have been paid by the county
during the past week one would al
most imagine that Crawford county
belonged to the so-called wild and
woody west" During the past week
thirty-one wolf scalps have been
turned in at the Office of Auditor Col
Inns, five of which were adult and the
remaining twenty-six cubs. At this
time of the year the young are being
born and it is much easier to locate
their dens and capture the young be-
fore they are able to roam the hills.
While a number are killed during the
fall and winter months by means OF
dogs and guns, not so many are en-
terminated as during this season OF
the year. A. L. Rogers captured tive
wolf cubs alive in nest that he dug
up on the George Sprecher farm
west of town. Ernest Lownes, who
lives in Charter Oak township,
brought in the pelts of seven wolf
cubs, which he captured on his farm,
and received a bounty of $i4.OO. Fred
WILDER, who farms in Boyer township,
managed to trap four old ones, which
brought him a neat bounty OF $4,000.
Henry Schoenjahn, of West Side town.
ship, was in the city Tuesday, April
22d and turned in eight cub scalps
and received a warrant for $500
Rolla Matthias, of Union township,
turned in one adult and six cub wolf
scalps on last Friday and received the
sum of $17.O0. At this rate it should
not take long to eXterminate the
wolves in the county, and when the
new law goes into effect raising the
bounty hunters and trappers will take
more pains in Kidding the county Of
these animals, which do so much dam
age, killing chickens and hogs.

Going Beyond the Limit.

A rather fussy man travelling from
New York to Philadelphia had beer
annoyed by his opposite companion
a tall fellow whose bony knees troubled
him not little. There was stop OF
several minutes at Trenton and the
tall traveller rose from his seat, and
said with a yawn: 81 guess I'll get
out and stretch my legs bit" Good
gracious!" exclaimed the other, don't
do that unless you are prepared to pay
double fare, or to take compartment
all to yourself"

Secret of Life.

REALLY, the whole secret of life, OF
happiness, Of success, is self-control.
Self-control is breeding. If we gov
ern our feelings, we can accomplish
anything. It is the secret of marital
happiness, and every woman ought to
learn it. The woman who can be
pleasant to the woman her husband is
pleasant to is the successful wife. Self
control is the secret of charm. 1t gives
certain sphinx-like quality, which
people are forever hoping to unearth,
and that is charm"

When It's III.Gotten.

Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo
was praising the modest comfort of
the life of the physician, the author,
the school teacher, and such-like
workers. Don't let us desire wealth,
he said. Don't let us waste our lives,
forfeit our joy, in scramble after
wealth that is bound, nine times out
of ten, to be fruitless anyway. Wealth
what is it, after all? May not
wealth too often just be defined as

Evening Entertainment.
While everyone was invited to at
tend the afternoon meeting, the even
ing program was of secret nature
and only members of the order were
allowed to attend.
At the Odd Fellow hall in the Sag.
gau building degree work constituted
the evening program, nine candidates
going through the initiatory and de-
gree work, six of whom were from
Schleswig and three from Denison. 1t
was not until 1870 that the work was
brought to close.
The Rebekah order, an auxiliary
of the Odd Fellows, had their degree
work exemplified in the hall in the
Review building by the Beulah lodge
of Jefferson, after which a delicious
supper was served.
The City in Gala Attire.
Denison was in gala attire in honor
of the event and every business house
had special decorations in honor of
the Oath anniversary of the order.
The welcome banners and l. O. o. F..
pennants were in evidence every
where. A number of the business
houses had special window displays
for the day, the most notable being
the large floral emblem displayed in
the Charles Bartcher window on
Broadway.
While the attendance was not as
large as had been anticipated it is
estimated that over three hundred
and fifty visitors We're in the city to
accept the hospitality of the local or.

ORGANIZED FOR
ROAD WORK
Mr. Holden Of Scranton, Visits Coun-
ty Supervisors and Urges Ap-
pointrent Of Road Engineer
MAY LOSE 7RANscoNTINETAL
Movement en- Foot to Change Route
to Go Through Harlan From Car
roll Instead Of Denison.

Mr.. Holden, of Scranton, Iowa,
and other members of the State Iowa
commission were in Denison today
comforting with the board of supervis-
ors with view of organizing COM
mittee for effective work. Under the
new law it becomes the duty of the
board of supervisors to appoint a
county engineer, who will have super.
vision of the work in various parts of
the county. AS the law is amended
effective work on the roads is to be
expected from now on, and different
methods which have heretofore OBJ
tanned will not be repeated. The COM
mittee reports that great activity is
shown on the road question through
out the state. 1t becomes the duty of
the board of supervisors to designate
what roads shall be improved and at
ter that is done there is little doubt
but what the work will move along
expeditiously.
1t may be we'll to suggest to Deni-
son people that there is move on
foot to change the transcontinental
route from Carroll to Council Bluffs.
The Harlan people are back of the
movement to have the route extended
from Carroll to Harlan and from the
latter point to Council Bluffs. 1t is
up to Denison and other points along
the Northwestern route to see that
this change is not made.

Henry Finnern, editor of the Den.
ison Herold, was taken sick last Fri
day night with severe attack of ap.
pendcitis and at first it was thought
that an operation would have to be
performed to gain relief. His condi-
ton has been improving so rapidly
that it is thought an operation will
not have to be performed for the pres
ent at least. The attending physician
thinks he will be able to be about

LITTLE WAITS ENJOY
THE YuLETlDE SEASON

To thousands of children In our great
Christmas festivities that those who
have pleasant homes and parents in
comfortable circumstances enjoy. But
because the home surroundings are
lacking one must not jump to the con
clusioD that the children of the unfor-
tunates and the waits who are parent
less or have been driven from home by
drunken and inhuman parents do not
have their Santa Claus and the other
pleasures that make Christmas the joy
and delight of childhood the world
over.
Ii one were inclined to believe that
Christmas outside the home circle Is
devoid of all that brings pleasure and
happiness to the child he should visit
one of the great institutions where the
children of the poor and homeless are
provided with the comforts of life by
the city and the contributions of the
charitable.
In these homes are housed hundreds
and hundreds Of children, few of them
over ten years of age. Here one Will
see during the Christmas gayeties a
scene of happiness that will make him
wish himself a child once again and
enter into the spirit of the occasion
with the same joyousness and entnu-
| siasm as do those he Is watching. II
is possible that he might even realize
that the presence of so many children
enjoying Christmas together under one
roof is a thousand times to be pre-
ferred to the sight Of n lonely child
of the rich playing alone with its toys
with no one but the nurse to look on.

Christmas for all good Christian menI'
1t was an old carol, and Thomas JEFF
ferson had never given much thought
to the meaning of it before, but now
as he walked along with so many good
things the little fellow felt so grateful
that he longed to share his blessings
with some one less fortunate. The
woods seemed deserted, however. and
Thomas Jefferson reached his cabin
without meeting any one.
The children crowded about him
eagerly, and all could hardly wait I'M
til he had opened the basket, spread
the cloth and dished the dinner.
Thomas Jefferson was most particular
as to how he did this. Each plate
must contain an exact share of the

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

By every American soldier and sailor
Christmas day is celebrated with feast
ing and sports. though the men may
be thousands and thousands of miles
away from home. Dinner. consisting
of turkey, mince pie and all other dell
cacies. is served. There is also a gen.
erous supply of soft drinks. Intoxi-
cants are never permitted In army and
navy circles.
Those who wish to attend church In
the morning are permitted to do go.
although this is moi compulsory. as In
the British army. 1t Is not always
possible for sailors to so to the church
around the corner. but religious exer-
cises are conducted by the vessels
chaplain. The afternoon is usually
devoted to athletic sports.
1t may be that a concert of amateur
theatricals will enliven the evening or
that the men will receive permission
to give a dance. Those who wear Tn
Gle Sans uniform DO not lose their
taste for social pleasures and as a rule
are capable entertainers.
Even the men or an outpost. en-
camped far In the interior of some
Philippine province. attempt to invest
the day with as much of the Christ
mas spirit as possible unless the coun-
try Is In an unsettled state and par
tial war conditions prevail.
The British soldier makes the cele-
bration of Christmas the chief event of
the year, and his only regret Is that
the day does not extend over an entire
week.

. CHRISTMAS TREE TABLE.

A favorite idea for dinner en-
Pertaining is the Christmas tree
table. Tiny fir trees, arranged
with Kate Greenaway SYM
metry in straight lines, are set
IN a row, one little Christmas
tree being placed between every
two guests. This is not, how
ever, so successful in the g of
q round or oval table as 1t 10
where a dinner party for twelve
or more is concerned, ~necessitat-
ing a long table. The trees, fes-
TONED from one to the other
with ropes of tinsel and garlands
OF silver and golden "rain," give
q most festive appearance to the
dinner.
Each tiny tree, planted in a red
lacquer tub, 10 hung with mi
mute ~glistening balls and with
bonbons wrapped in bright tin
foil paper in different colors, the
light from the candles or cleo
trio lamps, reflected by the
bright decorations, giving tho
appearance of lamps.
