MONTOUR.
BY Mrs. X. f. holland.

Tom Poston Kills a Mad Coyote.
Tom Poston had quite lively time
several days ago with a very tame
coyote, which came to his place and
attacked his dogs. Tom managed to
pin the animal to the ground with his
pitchfork and hold him there until
his son could get a gun, when they
made short work of him. Mr. Poston
phoned to Boise to the state bacteri-
ologist, who advised him to kill the
dogs, as the coyote was undoubtedly
affected with rabies or it would not
have been so tame.

HER LESSON IN PROPORTION
Small Hearts, Too, She Found, Are TO
BE Found in Very Large
Mansions.

There was a girl who vas quite sure
that when it came her turn to marry
she could not live in q house any
smaller than her fathers. Love in a
cottage" was not her idea. Cupid, she
thought. needed plenty of to flap
his wings and to practice his archery;
he could not pine in a bird cage. SO
she must have an immense library
with a fireplace that would take a six
foot log; there must be a drawing
room with ~parduetry flooring and thick
rugs sliding about on it,; the dining
room must be able to hold a large
table with an imposing bowl of flow
ers. She visualized herself ruling a
salon, hostess to a brilliant coterie OF
people who would help her social am
bition and her husbands business.
A school friend of hers came to see
her a year and a half after she had
married and found her in a little frame
house on a side street, ridiculously
happy with her husband and her baby,
The back yard was Just about big
enough to hold a whirling clothes
frame and a narrow flower bed against
the fence; the piazza was as snug as
a sailors hammock: the largest room
was about the size Of the v~estibule Of
tho brides girlhood home.
81 know what you're thinking"
laughed the proud little housekeepez
to her guest. You're wondering how l
could make up my mind to live in this
tiny piano box. But I've made a dis
covery. I've found that it isn't the
size of the house that matters; it's
the size of the heart, and the biggest
hearts can live in the littlest houses"

The Practice of Kicking.

neglected yard, the malodorous cess
pool, the irresponsible motor car and

COMETS AND SOLAR SYSTEM
New Suggestion Has Stirred Up SCI.
entists-Existence of Gaseous
Masses Now Believed.

1t is suggested that some of he
striking changes manifested by GER
tain comets in executing their orbits
are due to the fact that they encOun-
ter masses of gas in interplanetary
space, and that they are not moving
in a vacuum, says a writer in the Sci
entifc American. If there are such
gaseous Masses, then in view of the
inclinations and extent OF their orbits,
comets are peculiarly fitted to act as
explorers, and there is every proba-
bility that they viii sooner or later en-
counter such masses. The planets
move in a narrow n near the plane
of the ecliptic, while the inclination
Of the cometary orbits is sometimes
considerable, varying for the periodic
comets from three degrees to 1872 de-
grees. AS a consequence, comets at
tain regions of the solar system, where
no other bodies peutrate. Many phe-
nomena seem to receive a satisfactory
explanation if the existence of gaseous
masses scattered through the solar
system be admitted. These gaseous
masses, probably Of different chemical
constitution, may be considered as the
residue of the initial nebula, having es-
caped the phenomena of combustion
which gave rise to the other members
of the solar system.
