SEE EXTINCTION OF COYOTE
Stock Raisers Confident That Their
Skulking Enemy Will Soon Be En-
tirely Wiped Out.

According to stock raiserS n farm
ers, especially in Kansas, the coyote
seems to be fast becoming extinct. The
fencing up Of big pasture districts
where practically every acre Is stock
ed with cattle has robbed the coyote Of
his once free and open range.
Because of his depredatiOns ON
young and helpless domestic stock a
bounty has in many places been set
upon his head and he has long been
a fugitive, hunted and killed by every
farmer and stock raiser. The greater
part of these bounties are collected in
the spring months before the mother
wolf has left her den with her fam
lily. SO persistently has the warfare
of determination been carried on that
the coyotes which rear their families
in safety must be cunning indeed.
The coyote has long borne a repu-
tation for cowardice, to say nothing or
other unworthy qualities, but in the
opinion of some this is unfair to the
beast. His warfare on sheep long ago
led to the institution Of coyote drives,
especially in the far Northwest. Hun
dreds of men turn out and manage
the thing pretty much as is done in
the case of Il rabbit drive, when great
numbers of iaCkrabbits are driven in
to a sort of corral, where they are
killed.
On me occasion many men and boys
in southern Idaho worked all day drlv-
ing in the coyotes and when they, the
men and boys, had all converged at
the corral they found just one coyote
in it, and he got awayl

To Control Jute Trade.

It is understood that the English
government is to keep control of the
flax trade during the next season, and
that it purposes to give greater facili-
ties for the export of yarns and cloth,
ms well as to deal literally with re-
quests for permits, etc, for the home
market.
Meantime the surprisingly heavy In
crease in the price of raw materials
has made all quotations nominal.
There being only one seller in Russia
now, the government has had to pay
what may be called an exorbitant rate
for the fiber.
Changes are also rapidly developing
In j~ute-goods trading arrangements.
The granting OF grading permits and
export licenses has been put on a diff.
ferent footing. More encouragement
will be accorded to the shipment OF
yarns until II is found that this is In.
terfering with the weaving of cloth for
home outlets.

Tom Price took his big hands from
the carriage handle and stood still
before her. "Your brother! !" he la
mented "and all this time I've been
trying to keep from falling in love
with another fellows girl"
"You have no right to speak to me
like that" Peggy began severely, but
Immediately her anxiety was trans
ferred to the nearness of a surrounding
stone wall.
'"Tbis is the place." she whispered,
"where took the baby. I've beer

magnanimously suggested.
AS there was still no response to
their at the great house
door, perplexed and feeling rather
guilty, Peggy followed her protectors
advice and waited with him upon the
%veranda.
Her eyes softened as the nice man
rocked the baby in his arms.
"He is not a bit afraid of you," she
murmured.
Then Tom Price laughed. "Why
should he be?" he said. "He is my sis
ter's kid. She left him in my care for
a couple of hours this afternoon. I'd
Just gone TO hunt up his nurse when

story that a white whale has made its

about 40 years and settled on a
claim near Big Stone where he liv-
ed until recent years. ani where he
experienced the hardships Of the
early days. He was a man who
united sound sense with strong con-
victions, and a candid, outspoken
temper, eminently fitted to mould
the rude elements of pioneer socie.
ty into form and consistency, and
aid in raising a high standard of
citizenship in a young and growing
state.

demise one daue hter Mrs. Pearl

The RISKY ROAD
Fridays Special Attraction

Dire necessity had forced Mar.
jorie Helmcr into an armed expert
ment in luxury. Melville Kings
ton was not in favor Of marriage,
but be admired Marjorie suffic lent
ly to set her up in a $4,000 flat
with French maid and Rolls
Royce car. Marjorie wanted a
wedding ring more than either of
these, but she finally consented to
this bargain; either she would come
to his way Of thinking or he to hers.
In the meantime Marjorie had
the name without paying the price,
except in her heart, of woman of
easy virtue. This strange contest
Of minds was interrupted suddenly
by Mariorie's discovery that there
was already a Mrs. Kingston.
Rage, humiliation scorn. dispair,
possessed her. Without thinking
Of the consequences, she peremptor-
lily summoned the country lover
whom she had spurned when she
came to the great city. He came.
He saw the $4,000 apartment, the
French maid the luxurious ward
robe. lncredulity gives place to
conviction that the Primrose Path
was COW lane to this Brussels car
peted, perfumed, tapestried twelve
cylinder avenue down which Mar
jorie was rushing to the Devil.
Certainly he would not marry her.
Men do not marry that kind of wo-
men. But he would
and just then Melville Kingston
came into the apartment with the
light of a great resolve on his face.
