her pups may now be seen playing with the wolf at most any time of the day.
 Watched from the street playing with the puppies. the wolf is appar- ently the same as dog But when human being approaches her, her tail falls and it's friendly wagging stops. For she again assumes the habits of her wild state in her dis trust of the human.
 Whether or not the wolf can be tanned remains to be seen. She is still young, and it may be that she will some day overcome her wild habits Certain it is that captivity improves, to a certain extent, the domesticity of a wolf, for a short time ago one which had escaped from a corral few miles below Cinema was caught for no other req son than that it insisted on hanging around roadhouse.
 ALUMNI Some of the high TO DEBATE school alumni who AT SCHOOL. were prominent in
 school activities year or so past have been advanc- ing the idea of debating the present members of the high school. They think that it would be pleasant for the members of the high school to meet someone that would give them a hard fight. The attempt to bring the series about will not take place until little later, as some of the alumni who might take part are out of town now.
 Of course, this alumni bunch think that they are going to put it all over the present high school stu dents or they wouldn't have advanc- ed the idea. Of course, it will be only those of the alumni who have been in college on the Outside who will debate. Which fact makes their

 The war, however, still remains the chief topic of interest to some And, of course, the telegraph edi- tor also has to size up the man who wants to know the war news provided again that he knows any Most of those who care for war news, however are directly or re- motely connected with the countries which are at war.
 Frank Gordon says that newspa- per cannot be made without war news. Frank Wiseman is of the same opinion, but only when the Germans win. In fact, that might be said of all of the war enthusi- asts. For there are very few of them who want to hear of the other fellow winning.
 Since the opening of the baseball season, however, MT Wiseman has forgotten there ever was war. For he is a most enthusiastic baseball fan, and a newspaper without the scores of the games played in the big leagues would be as nothing to him.
 John Moe and a few more kindred spirits like to get the political news, both national and otherwise. It is bread and butter to them, morning, noon and night. But they are not the only ones who are interested in politics this fall. as that subject is quite as absorbing as baseball and war. The reason is, of course the presidential election and the close race which is expected between Hughes and Wilson.
 It is understood that several good sized bets have been made-in even money. It is stated, however, that one prominent Democrat is weaken ing in his belief that Wilson will be elected. He already has sev- eral hundred dollars placed at even money, but when approached recent ly for another bet, and he can af- ford to lose, he wanted odds of three to two.
