Once Every Year.

London.-The modern Rip Van Win
lIle had an eighteenth century prede-
cessor in one Nicholas Hart. But Hart
was able to turn his sleeping to good
account He made money out of it.
The Daily Courant of August 8, I'LL,
contained the following advertisement:
Nicholas Hart, who slept last year in
ST Bartholomew hospital, intends to
sleep this year at the Cock and Bottle
in Little Britain"
An account of this astonishing per
son was published in the Spectator.
Addison, who made investigation, re-
ports that Hart lis every year seized
with a periodical fit of sleeping, which
begins upon the 9Th OF August and
ends on the 18th of the same month;
that on the 1st of that month he grew
dull; on the Cd, appeared drowsy; on
the Sd, fell yawning; on the 4th, be-
gan to nod; on the 9Th, dropped asleep;
on the 9Th, was heard to snore; on the

Paris.-"Oh! sleep, it is a gentle

But people who indulge in forty winks

Two judges of the Seine tribunal

According to a report that has

wonder why the court was dissolved

Moscow Nicholas Savin, the no

himself Count Nicholas de Toulouse
Lautrec, has been released from pris-
on in Riga by the czars manifesto of
March S. When the count came out
of prison he had only three rubles in
his pocket. He has earned 5000 ru-
lies so far. A Moscow newspaper is
publishing his diary and a cinemato-
graph firm has paid him $1,000 for
films Illustrating his life. In Russia
he is the man of the hour.
He is known to the police all over
Europe and America as an exceeding
ly accomplished swindler, who speaks
half dozen languages and whose
speciality is the passing off on the
guileless of forged bonds and securi-
ties.
3 He accounts for all the records of
charges and convictions against him
in various parts OF the globe in two
ingenious ways.
Either they were crimes committed
by a cousin who is remarkably like
him or he says they were charges
trumped up against him by the Rus
sian secret police in order to get rid
of a dangerous nihilist.
According to his own story, he took
part in the RussoTurkish war of 1877

COYOTES ARE NEARLY EXTINCT
Closed Ranges and Bounties on

of Animal.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan.-According
to stock raisers and farmers of this
county the coyote seems to be fast be-
coming extinct The fencing up OF
the big pasture districts in this and
neighboring counties, where practical
ly every acre is now stocked with cat
tie has robbed the coyote OF his once
free and open range.
Because of his depredations on
young and helpless domestic stock
bounty has been set on his head and
he has long been fugitive, hunted
and killed by every farmer. The boun-
ty of a dollar which is paid by the
county for every coyote scalp turned
in probably more than any other
cause is responsible for the decreasing
wolf population.
In order to get the reward many
farmers, and especially the farmer
boys, not only trap and kill coyotes
whenever the opportunity comes, but
have made a practice of hunting the
coyotes dens and robbing them Of
their young For the scalp of baby
wolf, though only a few weeks old
and innocent of any wrongdoing. is
the same in the eyes Of the law as
would be that of veteran chicken
killer.
Only few years ago the county
money paid out in this county alone
for coyotes ran as high as $500 or
$500 annually Now, it is said, the
number will hardly reach 100 a year.
The bringing in OF a dozen or more
scalps by one farmer. which was once
so common no longer occurs.
The greater part of these bounties
are collected in the spring months
before the mother wolf has left her
den with her family. so persistently
have the farmers carried on the war
fare of determination that the coyotes
which rear their families in safety
must be cunning indeed. Though this
may seem cruel, yet from long expe-
rience the farmers have found that
in a stock-raising country the coyote
has no place. Were they left to null

among its residents ambassadors and
high government officials, while Sir
Isaac's entertainments drew to his
house all the leaders Of the scientific
world of the day.
Many amusing anecdotes are told of
Sir Isaac Newton during his residence
in st. Martins street. One of the best
concerns DR.. Stukely, the most famous
antiquary of his day, who called on
Sir Isaac by Appointment The servant
who opened the door said that Sir
Isaac was in his study and must not
be disturbed. DR.. Stukely sat down to
wait for the great mathematician, as
it was near his hour for dining, and by
and by boiled chicken under cover
was brought in for dinner
An hour passed and Sir Isaac did not
appear The hungry and philosophic
and, replacing the cover on the empty
dish, requested the servant to get an
other bird prepared for his master
Before the dish was ready, Sir Isaac
came down from his study, and, apollo
giving for his dilatoriness, said, Give
me leave to take my short dinner and
l shall be at your service. l am IA
tigued and faint" Removing the cover
and discovering the empty dish, he OBJ
served to Stukely with q smile, See
what we studious people are; forgot
that l had dined."
1t may have been courtesy, or it may
have been forgetfulness.

tirely to business purposes.

There is some ground for doubling
this account for he received no medal
and no wound pension. All that is
known is that in 1878 he gave up his
commission.
When Savin was on trial at Pau In
1908 for swindling he told the same
story of being wounded at PleVna as
well as at Santiago de Cuba. The
French court ordered the prison doc
tor to examine his wounds" The
doctor reported that there certainly
were scars visible, but they were re-

After a thrilling escape from the
French gendarmerie he fed to the

His schemes, however, were frus-
