Il HEN

| forgot to say, so will say it now,-the hen was rather
foolish. Even see a foolish hen? Sometimes when we ride in
an auto and meet a flock of sheep, we must drive slowly else
there is danger OF running over some of them. Even when
we sound the horn, some of those sheep will start running right
in front of the car. ''Foolish things we exclaim. But sheep
are not the only foolish things in this world of ours. There
longed to a farmer away down East. This farmer had trouble
in making his hens lay eggs. He used to place china eggs in
the nests, so that when the hens saw them, they would believe
they We're real eggs, and thus be tempted to lay. The china
the same color. But, after all, they We're only made of earthen-
ware.
Some of the hens on that farm were so ambitious that
they took 1t into their heads to hatch chickens. They went
struthng and clucking about the yard, until one grew weary
of their chatter. One in particular was so ambitious, that she
sat on a nest Of china eggs for weeks, expecting of course, to
and stay in the nest all night, when she might have been having
a jolly time out IN the yard scratching for worms with her hen
companions. But no! there she stayed trying to raise a brood!
There was no use however, the eggs upon which she sat would
not fructIfy.
Foolish hen! you say. Now, don't be too sure Of the mat
ter. Why, there are boys and girls like that foolish hen. There
are boys and girls why try to do things Just as foolish. There
are some things we can't hatch ANYTHING out of. Why? Be-
cause there is nothing in them to hatch! There are boys who
shlrk their school work. Here is how he does it. He will get
his friend to work out his problems and pass them in to his
teacher. He is sitting on china eggs! Yes he is! Examination
time comes, and the EGGS will not hatch! That times comes
when we must all stand on our own feet. We cannot purchase
character; nor can we expect to pass examinations without
study.
Then there are girls who spend their time before the look
ing glass. Ever see them! They primp, and fuss about their
looks. All they have in their minds is having a good time. Her
clothes must be the best-and after some years, this girl grows
up INTO a selfish creature; unattractive. Here was a girl try
girls who go to Sunday School just when it pleased them; and
to the meeting of the Scouts, just when they took the notion.
Perhaps the boys go to Scout meeting one week, and stay away
two. Perhaps they go to school for a period, but while there
never study their lessons, and yet expect to know a great deal
about life, and education. They will fail in the end, lust as
the hen failed; for they TOO, are trying to hatch china eggs.

Odd Fellows 5Oth
Anniversary Held
Laramie Last Week

The forty-second session of the
Grand Encampment of Patriarchs,
odd Fellows of Wyoming, met at
Laramie on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of last week. Many Raw
Inns members attended the session
and they are very enthusiastic in
their praise of the Grand Encamp-
ment.
The attendance of members from
the several encampments in the state
was especially gratifying. The ses-
sion was the largest that has ever
been held in Wyoming in the history
of the lodge.
On Tuesday the work of electing
and installing the officers was dis
posed of. In the evening an auto
ride was taken and there was a
parade which was under the direc-
ton of the Imeprial Order Of Musco-
vites.
The Grand Lodge of Wyoming and
the Rebekah assembly went into ses-

sion on Wednesday,. This was the
Golden Anniversary session Of the
Odd Fellows. The commemorative
service was held at four O'Clock In
the afternoon. This gave rise to
one of the most notable features of
the session. Henry Altman of Chey-
cane, the surviving member of the
original sixteen members who formed
the Grand Lodge in Laramie in 1874
was present. Thomas Cottle called
the names Of the sixteen men who
constituted the first grand lodge
membership. and as each name was
called, and the Odd Fellow failed to
respond, the chairman designated
some member of the present grand
lodge to speak for him. When the
name of Henry Altman was called,
he responded in person. This caused
a loud burst of handclapping which
lasted for several minutes and all the
Odd Fellows stood up in respect of
the living member.
On Thursday new officers of the
lodge were elected and Kemmerer
was selected as the place for the
melting next rear.
The Rebekah Assembly of Wyom-''
ing, held their convention in con
junction with the Grand Lodge. This
was their 18th annual session and

Mr.. Freel got there in time to shoot
him before he escaped.
Like all of his kind, he was a
killer and many stories are told of
his prowess in that direction. Mr..
DAILY affirms that Bigfoot killed over
a 100 head OF cattle for him. and
Chuck Fitch has lost about SO head
from h same source. For another
he killed II calves in n night and
Is known to have killed SO sheep In
two days at still another ranch. At
one time 1t is claimed that he was
a leader OF about IL wolves. A story
credits him and two others with the
killing of a large saddle horse on a
ranch neal Gillette.
A conservative estimate Of his
damage to livestock would be around
100000. Because of this, numer-
Gus rewards have been offered from
time TO time totalling in all probably
around $1,000. Many determined
and repeated efforts have been made
during the past fifteen years to
capture Bigfoot. but the years only
seemed to Increase his almost human
cunning and intelligence. Although
eight OF his mates have been captur-

Notorious Wolf is
Caught Near Gillette

Mr.. Charles Freel, a government
trapper, was placed on the honor list
by the killing of Bigfoot. one OF the
largest and most destructive grey
wolves remaining in this part OF the
country. The animal was about 20
years old when captured and weigh
ed 14O pounds. He measured six feet
nine inches long and was about three
feet high. AS souvenirs of his fight
Ing career. he carried many scars.
h left eye was gone. part of his
tail and a toe of his left hind foot
was missing. His tusks were con-
s~iderably worn down but even SO
they measured 2 inches.
II one only knew the entire his.
tory OF this one wolf. 1t would rival
the stories of Ernest Thompson Sc
ton. but what is known is Of great
interest to this section OF the country
because 1t was the VOLTS home. Big
foot Is known to have quite an itin-
cry to his credit before his death.
When one part OF the country be-
came too hot for him he moved on
to where his reputation was not so
unsavory. II seems that he was
raised down OF Indian Creek, so
miles south of Buffalo. From there
he went to Barber creek. then Cow
hide creek and from there to the
DEVILS lower region. After leaving
there he stayed a while on DefYen-
baugh creek before going to Four
Horse creek. and It was here that he
was caught on a small tributary on
Friday the thirteenth Of June. The

uncanny cunningness of the animal.
At one time he placed a great num-
Der Of traps in the trail over which
Bisfoot would travel only to find
that in each case the wolf had step
ped off the trail to avoid the traps
Still another time Mr.. Freel thought
to wear him out and he followed him
for eighteen days. Bigfoot would
make for a butte in order to view the
whole country. Then If the persuer-
er was far enough away. the wolf
would carefully retrace his steps by
putting his feet in his old tracks.
In order to throw his follower off
the trail he would Jump to an access
sible bare spot, or il none were near,
would make as far a jump as possible
and go in a different direction.
All wolves can go about three days
without food, but on the evening of
the third day, they make a killing
and eat till they are loggy and bed
down till daylight before continuing
their journey. Bigfoot followed this
plan, but unlike his kind, would re-
sumo his journey before daylight, so
that Mr.. Freel often found he was
on an hour old trail. One time this
wolf made a journey of about 400
lhiieS, SoiHS from SOutH Oh tne Cney-
enne river to the DEVILS Tower and
winding up in the Pine Ridge
try.
But now the menace of this beast
is removed forever and even his
worst enemies do him honor by view
ing his skin with mingled feelings
of couriousity and respect. The skin
and skull We're on display last Tues
day and Wednesday at the News Of

of permit for the construction OF
q garage with a frontage on the
west side Of Vermont avenue be

Construction of such a garage, Mr.
Lambert says in a letter to the

"Were it otherwise the regulation
would be a trick upon the public
and become grossly unfair and
legally void as unreasonable" Mr..
Lambert declared.

that Industries which are notably
