WANT HIS JOB Many Applicatants for Plummer’s Place as Liquor Deputy. Portland, Me., June 11.—Sheriff Pear son has not yet succeeded in finding a satisfactory man who will accept the position of head liquor deputy to suc ceed Charles A. Plummer, who on Tues day was hound over to the September term of the superior court on a charge of accepting bribes from liquor dealers. \lr. Pearson has had many applications for the position, but in every case there has been some objection which influ enced the sheriff against accepting the proffered service. Civic Deputy Dunn has been pressed to accept the position, hut he has re fused. Many others who have been ap proached by the sheriff also have re fused to consider the place, as it car ries with it a great amount of odium and publicity. As a consequence of reduction in the seizing force, the liquor dealers are do ing n rushing business. Several of the county deputies have been called in to assist in the work un til men are selected to succeed Plum mer and I,each, hut they are not famil iar with the lower section of the city and cannot work to the best advantage.

WHY DON’T THEY GO? A Way to Push off the “Hang On's.' Perhaps some day you will wake up to the faet that coffee is quickly and surely doing the business for you. You wonder why the symptoms of disease which grow more and more pro nounced do not disappear, but hang on in spite of all the medicines you can take. Fixed organic disease may result if you keep up your present course, and yet it is an easy thing to give up coffee and get well. Have your cook make Postutn Food Coffee strictly according to directions, and that is easy. Use enough of it and boil long enough to bring out the taste, then you will find that the famous food drink will satisfy your coffee taste and the old troubles gradually disappear. There are hundreds of thousands of cases in America that prove the truth of this statement. A gentleman from Columbus, Ga., says, “My wife had been an invalid for some time and did not seem to yield to any sort of medicines. She could not eat anything without distress, and naturally was badly run down in every way. "Finally we concluded that perhaps it was the coffee that hurt her, so she quit it and went on to Postum. also began using Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food. She immediately began to im prove and kept gaining strength and health, now she can eat heartily of cnything she wants, vegetables and anything else, without hurting her. She has gained nearly thirty pounds since she made the change. “I saw such an improvement in her health that I decide 1 to quit coffee my self and you would be surprised to see the change. I have gained in flesh about 25 pounds, and have entirely lost the old, dull headaches that I used to have so much. Our two children are very fond of Postum. You can use my name if you like.” T. M. Coggin, 1220—10th Ave., Columbus, Ga* GOVERNOR JOHN F. HILL HANDSOMELY ENDORSER. Maine Republicans in Gonveniion at Portland On Wednesday Renominated Present Popular Chief Executive. if m f SECRETARY SHAW ADDRESSES THE CONVENTION. Hon. Leslie C. Cornish of Augusta Presents Governor Hill’s Name and Is Followed by Other Brilliant Orators. Portland. llo„ June 11.—(Special).— The Republican State convention was called to order at 1.30 by Chairman F. M. Simpson of Bangor. Prayer was of ferred by Rev. Dr. Smith Baker of Portland. Hon. Newell P. Noble of Phillips, was called to the chair as temporary chairman and Fred G. Fas sett of Portland, K. M- Bland ing, Ban gor, G.- H. Gilman, Houlton, C. W. Richards, Augusta, and C. A. Pilis bury, Belfast, were made secretaries. Mr. Noble upon taking the chair re ceived an ovation. As soon as quiet had been resumed Mr. Noble said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: It is an honor, duly appreciated by me, I assure you, to be called to preside ovi r a convention like this. 1 am proud thus to stand before this body of the repre sentative Republicans of Maine, and *s neebdiy in this beautiful Republican city by the sea,—a city that has produced and sent forth such magnificent representa tives of the party as Wm. Pitt Fessen den and Thomas 15. Reed. It is worth something to be identified with a party which has always been right upon every important national issue. The Republican party was right in its oppo sition to the extension of slavery. It was right in its heroic defense of the union. It was right in its resumption policy. It was right in its policy of pro tection to home industries and home la bor. It was right in its policy of reciproc ity as outlined by our own peerless statesman. James G. Blaine. It was right in its recent hard-fought battle against the free and unlimited coinage of silver and tile degradation of our nation's cur rency. But while history vindicates the Republican policy on all these great is ues. it is not necessary to read between the lines thereof to establish this other fact that, on all these same great issues, the Democratic party has always been wrong. During my whole life T have been try ing to discover the mission of the Dem ocratic party, or even an excuse for its existence. Needless to say that my suc cess has been no greater than his who vainly strives to capture the wily will-o' wisp, or to locate the enchanted gold at the base of the rainbow. As I have studied the principles and platforms em inating from its distinguished leaders from year to year, more and more have I been melted with pity at its flagrant fallacies and dismal failures. Especially is this true since that wonderful conven tion at Chicago, when the silver-scaled monster from the great West swooped not only the convention, hut with few exceptions, the Democratic party itself. Years have passed since that memorable event yet the fast and furious dragon of NEWELL P. NOBLE. the captivity has not yet been induced to disgorge. The platform adopted at that conven tion was as marvelous as the convention itself. It sought to debase our nation's currency by opening our mints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver; it aimed a blow at t'aat bulwark of our na tion's safety and security, the supreme court, and would have made it a mere tool in the hands of demagogues; it of fered a prize to ignorance ami Insurrec tion. and would have abridged our na tional power and authority when mobs run riot and when the red flag of anarchy is unfurled in the streets of our great cities. Twice the people of this great and enlightened Republic have buried that platform and all upon it beneath an j avalanche of ballots. And the Republi can party stood firm and united in the j face of revolution, disloyalty and dun ger. Gentlemen, the period since last we met upon an occasion like this has been truly it history-making epoch. At that time we were near the close of a short and decisive war. As a result of that war. Spain, always tyrannical and retro grtssive, Wiis forever eliminated from the Western hemisphere. Porto Rico be came ours. Cuba, groping in darkness, starving and oppressed, at last beheld the star of promise, at last saw the light I of liberty. The stars and stripes were by tIio it d-hand.-d anarchist. Taneoln Oarlield.

Their virtues and achievements, a mon ument inure enduring than marble—av«. tin ir virtues and achicvomnts will live enshrined in the hearts of a patriotic people long after epitaphs shall have fad ed—long after marble monuments anj bronze statues shall have crumbled into dust. The state of Maine has ever been loyal to the policy of President McKin ley. it is none the less loyal today to thp lailicy of his courageous and conscien tious successor. President Koosevelt.

The thunder of Dewey's guns not only aroused the sleeping inhabitants of Ma nila. but awakened the nations of the earth. Hardly had their echoes died away in the Orient before they were caught up at Santiago, and the whole world suddenly realized our importance as a nation—the whole world at once ac corded us a prestige never acknowledged before. For humanity's sake we gave oSO.OOO downtrodden Cubans peace and lib erty. For humanity's sake we will yet give 7,000,000 dusky Filipinos the benefits of a civilization such as they would nev er have known while under the heel of a nation Itself groping in mediaeval dark ness. Call it “Commercialism.” call it Imperialism call it whatever you will, its place in history is unique. It stands out as the grandest effort ever p at forth by any nation or any |>eople for the up lifting of downtrodden humanity. By force of circumstances we are In the Philippines, and by force of circum stances there we must and shall remain, till American civilization shall have made the Filipino its friend—till American civ ilization shall have wrought such a change that those various tribes which have known nothing better than Spanish oppression, shall have reached a condi tion consistent with self government and their own national unity. Yes. great events have been transpir ing. But great as they may have been, the Republican' party in power has met them with its characteristic wisdom and promptness. It is no new and strange coincidence that upon the Republican t party should fall such responsibility. It I is entirely in accord with its high tradl I tions. It had the man for the occasion. We could with all confidence rely upon that valiant chief, that calm, dignified i man of the people—soldier, statesman. .diplomat and philanthropist—your friend! and my friend. President McKinley. How we congratulate ourselves that our votes contributed to his election! How We hon ored him. witness the righteous wrath of a loyal people when Uu was struck down and that state issues should be our first consideration. The last legislature of Maine was chosen upon a platform form ulated by the people—a platform which called for economy in expenditures, and a more just distribution of the burdens of taxation. Were the members of that legislature true to the demands of the people? Why, I don't believe that my friend, the genial Democrat of the Sen ate, voluble talker that he Is, discovered enough Republican extravagance during the session to furnish him the material BUdsand Flowers of Homo Life. PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND MAKES AND KEEPS THE CHILDREN WELL AND STRONG. Mothers Make It the Home Medicine For the Little Ones. The children, God bless them, are the buds and flowers of our homes. Without their prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would be desolate. They should ever be carefully tended in childhood and youth, if we expect them to ripen into perfect men and wo men. In the home and at school, the chil dren have their times of ill-health and suffering. We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks, heavy eyes, nervous movements and twitchings of limbs and muscles. They complain of headache, drowsiness, weariness, dys pepsia, and indigestion. All such symptoms and ailments mean that th^ seeds of disease will have a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures are taken to restore a perfect condition of health. Thousands of wise and prudent par ents have made their children happy, healthy, and vigorous by giving them nature's medicine, Paine's Celery Compound. In many severe and com plicated cases, Paine's Celery Com pound has restored health when the lit tle ones were given up by physicians. If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong, and rugged as they should be in June, try the health giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound. It makes and keeps the children well. for a three-minute campaign speech down in Knox county. The increasing revenues, the liquidation of our entire temporary loan, the better adjustment of the troublesome problem of taxation, tell the story of pledges fully redeemed—the story of public men true and devoted to pub lic interests. For the year 1901 the running expenses of the state were $1.706,000. Of this .amount about :t8>« per cent, or more than one-third of the actual expenses, was paid for educational purposes, and about 29 per cent for charitable and reforma tory institutions,—the aggregate for these purposes representing a total of $1,146. 000. These items are of especial and pe culiar Interest to the taxpayers of Maine. It should he of inturest to know that of the StJWzlJU# disbursed by the slate in MS. SfiSI.ono went directly to the people for the support of ihelr various schools. For the present year this amount will exceed $700,000, the largest amount ever returned to the prople in any one year for educational purposes. Regardless of the direct aid to academies and high schools, there were at least two hundred towns in Maine .last year that received more from the school fund and mill tax man they paid the state in taxes. Where did these benefits fnll? Surely not upon the cities and larger municipalities, for Portland paid $91,000 more in state taxes than it received from the school fund and mill tax; Bangor paid $27,000 more than it received; and Lewiston paid $10,000, and Auburn $9,000 more than they received from the school fund and mill tux. Tins $052,000 then, should not be regarded strictly as an item of expense, but rath er as a collection and distribution on the part of the state of so much money, whereby the wealth of the corporations and cities and larger communities is made to bear its just proportion of tli» expense in training our hoys and girls for intelligent citizenship. The other Hem for charitable and reformatory institu tions, amounting last year to $494,000, Is more properly and strictly speaking an item of expense. But it is an expense that you and l, and all loyal citizens of Maine, most willingly bear. It affords relief for the poor and unfortunate,—It affords protection to our homes and so ciety. While even this item may appear large to the average individual, it may be well to remember that it is more than balanced by a single item on the other side of the ledger, viz., the $500,000 of rev enue received by the state from that class of people whose money is deposited In our savings banks. Are we doing too much for our schools? Surely not, nor can we so long as our system of education is inferior to that of any state in the Xlnlon. Are we too liberal with our charities and reforms? Surely not. nor can we be so long as we have poverty, misfortune and crime in our midst. Rut we should not forget the fact that if the expense of our schools, our charities and our reforms, were elim inated from the disbursements of the state, or If the expense of these were raised by direct municipal assessment, our present rate of state tax. 2 44 ml*'*, would be reduced to Ipsa than one mill on every dollar of taxable property. The legislation of 1901, supplemented by the wisdom and economy of the present administration, have made It possible, up to the present time, to pay $2X6,000 of our I cm porarV loan, and on the twelfth day of next month the entire temporary loan of $386,000 will have been discharged. Rut tills Is not all—in the meantime the state’s permanent debt will have hern reduced by $120,€00. Such then is the record of the present. Republican administratlnn—more than half a million dollars applied to the re duction of.our public debt, and this with out Increase in the rate of taxation. Thus Is manifest the wisdom of the pol icy which seeks to place at the head of (Continued on page 2.)

(Continued from page 1.) the state's affairs, broad-minded and suc cessful business men—men too endowed With honesty of purpose and integrity ol character. The times are demanding men for pub He places who shall be so protected b\ nn armor of integrity that the thrusts of the enemy cannot prevail against it Defeat and disaster surely await any party in Maine, whenever it shall appeal to the suffrages of the people with tht names of men upon its ticket who do noi Ktand squarely and fairly for law and foi order, instead of lawlessness, nullification and anarchy. Wise and prudent would have been the unfortunate victims of St Pierre, had they taken timely notice of the mutterlngs of Mount Pelee and sough; safety beyond the reach of those burning rivers of lava. Wise and fortunate in deed will be that party in Maine, and victory shall be written across the ban ners of that party In Maine, which heark ens to the demands of the sturdy yeo manry, which anticipates their ideals of good government, which presents for their support only men of courage and dharacter. In this respect the Republican party of Maine may well be proud of its past. Its almost uninterrupted record of nearly half a century is a history of good men and true—oftentimes great men—and its achievements stand out like milestones marking the highway of our progress a; a state and as a pot pie. Two years ago at our State convention wc added a new name to our already dis tinguished galaxy. The courteous gentle man whom we named upon that occasion as our standard-bearer, has honored him self, honored his party, honored the state. In him we made no mistake. He has in deed proved an ideal man of the people. Again today will his name be placed up«n (he Republican standard, and again »i September will the voters of Maine rally around that standard, and roll up an overwhleming majority for our present most excellent governor, John F. Hill. At the close of Mr. Noble's remarks Mr. A. F. Moulton of Portland, moved that the State committee he the com mittee on credentials. Hon. S. W. Carr of Bowdoinham, presented the report of the committee as follows: The eommitte on credentials reported that the whole number of delegates en titled to seats in the convention are 1383, of which 1202 were present. On motion of Hon. Jtuel Robinson of Camden, the report of the committee was accepted. On motion of F. W. Butler, Esq., of Farmington, it was voted that the temporary organization be made permanent. On motion of Hon. II. E. Hamlin of Ellsworth, it was voted that all reso lutions be referred to the committee on resolutions without debate. On motion of Mr. Whitman of Nor way, it was voted that the convention take a recess so that the various county delegations might meet to select a vice president, a member of the committee on resolutions and a member of the State committee. After the recess nominations for the various positions were made as fol lows: STATE COMMITTEE. Androscoggin—Seth M. Carter, Au burn. Aroostook—Michael M. Clark, Hous ton. Cumberland—George M.

Cornish of Augusta, was rec ognized and Mr. Cornish said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con vention Fifty-seven years ago. a distinguished son of Maine in the course of a speech in the* National House of Representatives on the annexation of Texas paid tribute* to his home land in these words: "I glory in New England and New Eng land Institutions. There she stands, with her free schools, and her free labor, her fearless enterprise and her indomitable energy! With her rocky hills, her torrent streams, her green valleys, her heaven pointed spires; there she stands, a moral monument, around which the gratitude o( her country binds the wreath of farm I while protected freedom shall repose for ever at Its base.” Thus spoke in his early manhood that typical scm of old Oxford, whose char [acter was as rugged as the hills that kept watch over his cradle and whose name will ever be spoken with love and rever 'ence in a gathering of the Republicans of Maine, the great commoner, Hannibal tiamisn. f But that tribute is as appropriate to t day as it was a half century ago. Th:* evolutions and the revolutions in the business world have wrought great changes, but the underlying substantial of New England life, those things that keep society sweet and make life in its larger sense worth living still abide. Honesty is still the standard of value. Integrity is still the coin of the realm, and civic virtue, which is only private character applied to public affairs, sail obtains. It must have seemed to her sisters a bit pretentious when in PCM this new born j State of Maine placed on the seal that marked her sovereignty, the bold word "Dingo,” “I lead;"—this child of the cold j northeast, great only in extent of terri tory. i But it was a motto wisely chosen for as this State is 'first to greet the dawn so has she been first to welcome lignt and progress in every realm of thought 1 and of action. Her jwople are high types of the best American citizenship, free, independent, self reliant, patriotic, with i intellect trained and conscience quick ened. the uncrowned kings of a free Ite I public. i In such a community shams cannot survive, gilt cannot long masquer ade as gold and nothing is settled until lit is settled right. When therefore we find that any political party has been able to maintain its prestige find has been entrusted with ihe management of public affairs for forty-six consecutive years, with only two exceptions, excep tions which but prove and emphasize the rule, we may well assume that that party lias proved itself worthy of confidence. For the 3«th time the Republicans of Maine have assembled to renew acquain tance, to catch the inspiration that comes from personal contact, to rcannounce their creed and to select their leader; and by chance we are meeting where the pioneers first met, in this beautiful city of Portland. What changes have been wrought since that Sth of July, 1S56! 11,,w the geographical map of our country has I been ehatnged, with our flag now floating !“ver states that were then a wilderness, and even over lands beyond the sea. How i the moral map has been changed and that dark area that then represented human j slavery has been effaced and forever. How the industrial map has been cn i larged, and the waste places have been j niade to blossom like the rose. And all this has been accomplished under th« leadership of one political parly; the party of progress and not of stagnation, of construction and not of destruction, the party of the future and not of the past; the party of the martyred Lincoln and the hero of Appomattox, of the martyred Garfield and the Plumed Knight of Maine, of the martyred McKinley end the hero of San Juan hill; tile party whose banner we bear aloft today wi h is much pride as did our fathers a gen eration ago. The chief magistracy of such a State under such a party has been and still is the object of honorable ambition. And well it may be. Nut only is the office it self the highest within the gift of the people but the long line of distinguished men who have tilled it have added lustre to the i»osition. -vlone of all the officials under our system of government the governor represents the choice of all Un people. Our Legislature is elected by iowns'or by counties; our representatives in .Congress* by districts; our r tilled States senators by the Legislature; our judiciary are appointed by the executive out the governor is elected by the votes of* the entire Stale. No scene is more impnssive than a free people meeting together and ehoos j big one of their own number to be their i ruler. For th»* tine- they take him from their midst, not because of royal blood or titled ancestry, but for the more potent i reasons of character, attainment and i worth, and they place him in authority to i administer the laws which they them j selves have made. Such a scene is the 1 glory of our Anglo Saxon civilization, and such a scene is enacted here today.* We are met to select our executive for the next two years. But one name is in all our minds and upon all our lips, that of our present leader who has already honored himself and honored us in that high office.—his excellency. Governor Hill. Born in the good old county of York, where political principle s are nursed from the mother’s breast, of sturdy Purita i stock, which is the blood royal of New England. educated in Maine schools, with bum a professional and a business train ing, he cam** to manhood fudy t quipped. Such an equipment, reenforced by keen j perception, persistent industry, strong common sense, and unswerving integ rity has brought him success along ev ery line. Wealth has come to him. but he is devoting it to the interests of his native State in whose industrial future he has the deepest faith; honors have come to him, but he has remained the same modest, unassuming man. Best of all. friends have crime to him. for in the last analysis the heart, as it is the cen ter of the life beats, is also the center State of Maine made no mistake, two years ago, when it nominated John F. Hill. He has proven himself to be a worthy successor of worthy predecessors. His administration during the two years he has been Chief Executive of the State, has been as clean as the driven snow. In his administration he has exemplified that old mandate that has come down to us from long long ago, ‘In righteousness shalt thou rule and in judgment do no evil.' “During his administration he lias kept his eye single to the welfare of the people of Maine and Tyrian and Trojan have been alike treated without dis crimination. "And now in behalf of the sturdy farmers of the new Northeast who have made the wilderness bloom and blos som as the Garden of Eden and whose fair and fertile fields are daily kissed by the first rays of the morning sun; in behalf of that great army of woolen shirted woodsmen in the wilds of north ern Maine armed with the ax and en gaged in preparing for the markets of the world the untold wealth of the northern forests; in behalf of the brawny men in the busy mills of the great northland where the singing saws roll forth a music more joyous to the hearts of labor than the sound of gold en harps; in behalf of the horny-handed sons of toil who dwell in the log cabins of the back lots, in the far north, and who today are marching steadily for ward shoulder to shoulder in the ranks of industrial progress; in behalf of the northern merchant in his counting room, and professional man in his office, and finally in behalf of the thousands upon thousands of intelligent citizens throughout the whole length and breadth of eastern Maine, whose loyal ty and devotion to the eternal princi ples of the Republican party know no variableness nor shadow of turning, l second the nomination of Gov John F. Hill.” At the conclusion of the speeches of nomination Hon. John F. Hill of Au gusta was renominated for Governor, by acclamation and amid scenes of the greatest enthusiasm. The Platform. The committee on resolutions re ported as follows: The Republicans of Maine, in con vention assembled, stand ready to put themselves on record regarding any vital issue that concerns the American people. Eefore we pass to the consideration of questions of public policy, memory carries us back to the cruel tragedy of j last September, when the assassin's bullet took away the precious life of i our beloved Chief Magistrate, William McKinley, and plunged our nation into I tears. We deeply lament our loss in this untimely death of one who repre I sented the highest type of American i manhood and American citizenship. His wise counsel, his prophetic vision, his steady hand, guided our "Ship of State" into the haven of peace, pros perity and power that is our exalted position today. Our nation is now a recognized and respected world power, with constantly multiplying commer cial interests, and rapidly expanding influence. We are moving forward in the van of a progressive civi'ization. and we cheerfully credit our martyred President with a generous share in this larger life that has recently come to us as a people. We reaffirm the doctrines and prin ciples of the Republican party, which, carried out as they have been, have given to the State and the country a prosperity unrivalled in history. Every industry is at its best, labor finds more constant employment at higher wages than ever before and is paid in the best money in the world. The public treasury is full, and a con slant surplus finds its best use in re ducing the public debt. 3"he overplui from the fruits of private labor is shown as never before in the constant ly increasing deposits in savings bank: and in building and loan associations We are justified in calling upon thnd business suspends pending a pro tracted debate. Perhaps more people would vote to reduce the tariff on glass, manufactured iron, wool and meat than on any other four items, but unfortu nately those who would reduce on glass and iron would not generally reduce on wool and meat; and if the producers of wool and meat were to unite in an ef fort to secure free trade In glass and iron, they would find twice as many, by actual count, who would fight to the bitter end for free wool and free meat. Because of special and peculiarly In timate relations Congress has been for months considering a reciprocity prop osition by which it is proposed to grant Cuba a reduction of HO i>er cent, from ;he Dlngley tariff. This will affect lit tle if anything other than tobacco and sugar, and yet it met very strong op position, but protected by rules it pass ed the lower House. What will be done in the Senate I am not here to ad vise nor predict. I only refer to it for the sake of propounding the following proposition which is not subject to de monstration by the rule of three; If It takes from December until July to pass an act granting our own and well-be loved child 20 per cent, reduction on tobacco and sugar, how long will it take to revise the entire tariff schedule?

THE "KIOTE” A Despicable Animal of the Western Plains. t yr- A Character Sketch by One Who Knows His Subject. BMikri.. More Like the Jackal Than the Wolf and Always a Sneak. I The Spanish half-breeds of the Southwest call him “coyote,” giving to tn>‘ word a value of three syllables; arid ‘upon their full-fleshed lips it has a soft, gentle. purring sound, which makes you kindly predisposed in favor of the beast himself. You think of him as a roly-poly, furry, puppy-dog sort of creature, inclined to be friendly with the world, and bear ing its harsh rebuffs with the mute pathos of Christian resignation. All this, mind, is before you've seen hint; you borrow those notions from the mere sound of the name. Hut the Spaniard is notoriously a slave to politeness in all its forms, even toward the brute creation; and besides, he is a man of infinite leisure; he doesn’t grudge an extra syllable, if it w ill make tin- unhappy animal feel better. Not so with the American. Politeness with him is reserved for occasions, and he has no time for needlessly elaborat ing his speech. On his tongue the name nines "kiote,”—a brisk, crisp word; sharp as the crack of a whip, and ex prtssive of contemptuous scorn. It is a fitter word than the other, inasmuch 11s it carries in its accents a just ap praisement of ihe nature arid charac ter of the brute. He is nothing but a -kiote.’ By courtesy he is called a wolf—a foolish thought. By common consent, “wolf” has come to mean something, to stand for certain hardy if not ex actly noble qualities of mind; for craft and courage and a willingness to take long chances with luck—all virtues w hit h dignify the possessor in the eyes "f the sportsman. The West country has a retd wolf, a big gray fellow, neat as a soldier, ferocious as an old-time pirate, -who inhabits the timbered regions, and to do battle with whom, when hunger is on him, is no sinecure. If one wants a stimulus for fat wits, a corrective for failing interest in life, let him go out alone amongst the deeply Yijopdcd foolhillsof the Rockies late on n winter's afternoon, when the ground is covered with six inches of snow and the cold is so intense that game has grown scarce. He should time his Walk so as to be starting bac k for carnp in the thick dust of evening. As he stumbles along over the hidden wreckage of the forest, growing uncer tain whether ho is In the right path, there will presently come to his cars a thin, wailing whisper of sound, long drawn and eerie as the voice of the whiter wind in n empty chimney. He stops to listen, wondering if it was an illusion of his high-strung nerves; hut from the other side of the compass one's a,i) answering cry, twin brother to the lirst, and hi a few moments another, cutting his path to camp. If lie is at all versed in outdoor craft, ho will understand. Th;rt is the hunting cry of the limber wolves, and it means that tiny are onto him. The notes mutiply and draw in, not much, hut Just enough to be appreciably nearer, and in a little while they form a ragged circle of sound about him. He will mnst likely strike into a wretched, breathless trot, alternately shivering with moist fear and congratulating himself that the beasts seem to have mistaken the trail, for their cries are ever far away. Hut soon his starting eyes will behold a loan gray shadow skulking swiftly across an op n space on the snow, only a hundred feet away. If he stops to look, he will see other shadows like to this one, a stealthy half-dozen or so. slipping front hush to hush off to either side of his way, silent as ghosts, in tangible as thought, persistent as re morse. If they would only say some tiling! But th ur silence is perfect: there is not the lightest sound of a footfall as they slip along, on their course, timing their movements to those of th frightened man. "What are they waiting for?" he wonders, trying to convince hi« heart that they nre hut a cowardly pack, after all. He knows better; for in the distance swells that Insistent baying, where eager wolves ate trumpeting the news abroad and recruiting the attack, while these near er figures are keeping watch until their number is great enough to war rant a demonstration. If they are very hungry they will be gathering an impudent courage scon, running in to close quarters, chattering their long teeth together, their deep throats choked with suppressed snarls. It ail depends now upon how large a force cap be summoned to help. The wisest course, providing the man has been restored to a sane love of life, is to take to a tree. To remain on foot and use the rifle against the band is exciting to the last degree, but not always sure; an Ill-timed miss w ill, he likely to result in speedy calamity. Yes. the best wav if to shin tip a tree; there the adventurer t an dispose- his weary limbs amongst the branches and amuse himself b> picking off the brutes at his leisure until h> has Ruled enough to s.uin.* the hunger ef there that remain. Well, that’s is the real wolf. The "kiote" is another and a very different proposition.* He’s only a little, dun colored. mangy.beast, with foxy man ners and a toward heart; a craten freebooter, a thief of the conventional "sneak" type, an outcast yellow* our slinking through the alley-ways of the wilderness. He’s the Bow cry “tough of the brute t realion, the very jackal of i he American plains, a prowling, friendless scavenger. If you can think of anything else to say along these lines, say it freely, even to his face. It will not be amiss, nor will lie show the slightest resentment: instead, he ll sink his melancholy tail between his cringing ^egs, standing at a coward s distance and grinning a sickly grin, watching you with sly eyes and ready to scuttle away out of sight behind the neatest hill if you do but menace him with your fist. Truly a poor apology for a wild animal, and one not worth men tioning in the same breath with big same. He'd never dare attack a man in single combat, as the gray wolf will do on rare occasions; he attacks only in packs i half a hundred, and then he must he tortured by famine and his victim already half dead. He's a bad lot. Nobody thinks of hunting kiotes when there's anything else to do—no body, that is, with a reputation as a sportsman at stake. Now and then there will appear a marauding bund in some thickly settled rural neighbor hood of the lower prairies, prowling by night and devastating the poultry yards. Then the farmers will saddle their plough horses, arm themselves with pitchforks and scythe-blades, and •set oft for what they call a "hunt.” But it Isn't a hunt; it's a i shameless travesty; they might as well apply ihe naiiie to the annual butchering day. All they do is to heat through a patch of brush where kiotes are known to be in hiding, driving them out into the open and slaughtering them out of hand—a score of buriy. corn-fed farm ers on horseback to one poor, shudder ing little cur, paralyzed with fright’ That's too much like an English fox chase to be good sport; the weak point in it is that the beast has no show at all, from first to last. Most or the killing of kiotes is pure ly utilitarian in motive and crass in details of n- -ut ion. They may multi ply so rapidly in the sheep country as to become a post. Then the herders set prosaically to work at extermina tion. They kill a sheep or a steer, strip it of its hide and drag the fresh hide, llesli side down, over the ground in a plentiful s-ries of long lines which converge at a common point. This is “making scent.” At the hub of the wheel hits of meat are scattered about, laden with poison. In the night the hungry beasts on their travels pick tip the scented trails of the raw hide and are 1—1 in all directions to a feast of death. In the morning there will he pi rhaps a dozen 01 a score of them ly ing around ill all sorts of negligee atti tudes. And nobody is si rry, for that has come to be regarded as a fitting nd for the sheep stealer, whether man or beast. “Hut what's the use,” you say, “of trying to make literature of such pool raw material? Is the kiote in any sense worth while?" Yes. If one goes about it wisely he may have a lovely hou: occasionally even with the maligned kiote. The secret of enjoyment lies in accommodating one's si if to the game, playing jt on the principle of art for art s sake, and taking what comes without caring a continental. There nia\ be some genuine excitement at tinn s. One of the best ways of getting it is to undertake a night hunt. I don't know why this practice hasn't come into great vogue: many good things may be said of it. !,et me tell you of the first time 1 tried it. I was fiatering with ihe herders in an Arizona sheep camp. There were four thousand Merinos in one bunch, driven about from place to place in search of new grazing: and with the bunch were two vast sheep wagons with five men—one a cook, 'he others plain herders. Incidentally there were ..logs—a collie, a staghound and a lank brown nondescript, all trained to their business, and royal companions. It is a lonely life, that of the sheep man; he learns to love his dog with a stout and abiding affection; and the dog Ik- ones wry human and very wise. There were said to be antelope in ihat neighborhood, which accounted for my presence; but the antelope were shy—I hud got but one in thr-e days' stalking. Of othi r game tfi. re was none. The only will life to reveal it self was the kiote. which may always be depended upon to hang around the edges of herd of sheep, trusting to the lucky cham e of picking up a stray landi or a feeble laggard. We saw nothing of them in the daytime; but at night, when wo lav in our blankets upon the sand, staring up into the deeps of the skv and speculating, man fashion in all walks of life, about the things of this world and the next, thor. not infrequently we would hear a far away, shrill “oo-oo-oo”—a wee thread I of sound, like 'he wail of a six-weeks baby in the flat above, troubled with a colicky si- II. Prsently the sound would lravv nearer and evolve into a pesky, sharp “yio-yip-v ip!” The sheep would stir upon th-ir bed-ground, and a sleepy bleat vvotlld dicker across tin* herd: the dogs, stretched out beside the (ire. would cock th ir sagacious heads and mutter in their throats. Then sleep would overpower us, and in the morning we would be likely to find on the further side of the bed ground a few f!• silly gnawed bones and some wildly scattered tufts of lilood specked wool, all that remained of sonic hapless ewe which had risen in the night to take a bit of solitary exer cise or to gather an extra mouthful or two of grass. That sort of thing http pens continually, and there seems to he no help for it; still, it's very ex asperating. w.e night, at the week's end. I told the boys I would sit up for a while, in the hope that something would come to pass to vary the monotony. My pony w.> lariated close at hand, bridled, a bl mket cinched into piano for a saddle. in readiness for omeryucy service. Aft r m> companions were asnore 1 squatted hy the lire, now playing with the dogs then falling silent and op ning niv ears to the mighty silence of the desert. A slow wind stirred now and then, in deep pulsations, as though the night too slumbered, drawing its breath in strong, even rhythm. The fire had fal len low: by eleven o'clock it was but a bed of embers, tlameles. a ruby glow showing through thin rifts in the blan ket of feathery ash. There wasn't muoh doing. I thought it was going to turn nut a fiasco. Jt must have been midnight when there cam- a challenge from the heart ot tne great void, a sorrowful, waiting eo-on-oo"with slow falling inflection. In a moment it was repeated, down wind. and 1 knew that a hungry hi«te hail caught the odor of the sheep. He would he coming along presently, per haps bringing a companion or two with him. The more the merrier! The dogs had heard, too but they grew uui t at a word and lay waiting. 1 loosed the lariat rope from its peg and sat down by the pony's head. Ten minutes later the kiotes were near by, scudding around the herd to reconnoitre, signalling to one another in their staeeato “yip-yip!" telling the news as well as they could concerning the location of camp, dogs and nen, and laying plans for attack. As usual, a few sheep were getting to their feet and beginning to “mill” nervously. In another minute the kiotes were all on one side of the bunch—the far side, chattering like a sewing-circle: then fell a sudden dead silence; then a quick, bleating commotion. I sprung to my pony's back, calling to the dogs with one subdued word, a word they knew well—“Kiotes!” With that we were off, running in a wide circle be yond the edge of the bed-ground. The beasts must' have been very hungry or very intent upon their slaughter. AVe got within thirty yards before they took account of us. At that distance I could just discover their dull-colored forms against the brown background of the sand in the clear, tnoohless darkness. In an instant they dropped their noise and struck out across tho plain, three thin, dusky streaks, eluding the eyes as a dim ii'- e,’ 13 eludes the waking senses. Atone, I should have lost them at once but, the does were abler. I should have lost the dogs, too, hut for a lucky circumstance. The collie and the hound ran as Destiny and Death tire said to run, voiceless, saving the ir wind for the business in hand; but the mon grel was ;c fellow of exuberant en thusiasm and a barrel-chest, tie couldn't keep still when things were happening; he’d bay with one lung and run with the other, leaving behind him a resonant wake of sound. That was the trail 1 followed. It was a jolly run. I let the bridle rein go. charging at headlong speed straight against a blank wall of dark ness. behind which lay unknown ac cidents to limb and life—listening for the e ncouraging voice of the clamorous dog. and guiding the trained pony by a hand's touch against his neck. Danger? Yes. but the outdoor heart leaps to meet the dangers of the chase. Sonic where In the lilac kness were three kiot*'S, running for their lives: "Wow wow!” bellowed the excited dog, •’Here they art f'onie on, man!

He? was a stranger to the neighborhood, know ing none of the paths: but with a beautiful loyalty he leaped straight on the way chose for him, willing to fare with his rider in all things. The earth was but a wide obscurity, blotted with vague patches of mestpiite, cactus and sagebrush. Nothing was defined, stive the frantic try of the clog, himself unseen. Once my mount stumbled badly over a thic ket of brush; once coming abruptly to the edge of a shelv ing gulch, he stopped just in time, gathered his sturdy feet bSneath him and cast himself out into space in a wide, arching bound, t didn’t know where Do was going; and 1 didn’t care: as earth and sky whirled together a passionate recklessness was upon me, and it was almost a disappointment to have him iir.d his footing again on the other side. But regret was shortlived. We had run perhaps a mile when we came to a bit of roelty ground, jagged and weather-rutted—just the sort ot place a hunted wolf would be likely to seek, where pursuit was impossible, on the instant pandemonium broke loose just ahead: the mongrel's rollick ing so'o was merged into a tluind tons c horus, all* gro. fortissimo, becoming, then tin intricate fugue movement mongrel, collie and staghound. with another voice doing some lively ob bligato work ever all.

New York, June It.—Capt. Merton Al len of Giffords Point, Staten Island, is happy in the. thought that, with the help of two men, the crew of his naph tha launch the Shark, he saved the lives of 13 persons, men and boys, dur ing the severe gale of Monday. Captain Allen, who is the chief clerk of the money order department in the general postoffice in this city, is promi nent socially In Staten Island and a noted yachtsman. He is said to tie wealthy and is the owner of several boats. One of his boats broke awny from its moorings luring the wind-storm, and the captain started out in his naphtha launch in the teeth of a 00-mile wind. He had gone but a short distance when he saw three small boats strug gling in the heavy sea. and, putting on full power, he hurried to their relief. Five miles were covered before they were finally reached, and the rowboats were then almost swamped. In one boat were four men, and the other two held three each. As thev were being blown out to sea the rowboats drifted by the steam yacht Sunshine, owned by S. S. Fontaine. On board were Mr. Fontaine and a party of friends. On account of the high wind and rough sea it was impossible to low er a boat to help the fishermen. Cap tain Allen transferred the 10 men to his launch, and taking the seven boats in tow started back for Gifford’s Point against the wind. As they passed the Sunshine the crew fit that bout cheered Captain Allen for his bravely and fired a gun. Captain Alien took his charges ashore, where they dried their wet clothing, and started back for New York. Two hours later, as Captain Allen was looking after his boats, he noticed a sloop yacht showing a signal of dis tress, and again summoning his crew, went after it in his launch. As in the case of the other boats, this one was nearly swamped, and the captain, after a long chase, rescued three men and took the boat in tow. PERILS OF GENIUS.
