The coyote has nut a friend on earth among beasts and It has been sup posed that the hand of every man Is against hlm. and It will doubtless sur prise many to learn that not more than a generation ago the royote was held sacred by the Warm Spring tribe of Indians, and was, In fact, knelt down to and worshiped by them. It Is said that there are still those among the old Indians on the reser vation who will not under any circum stances kill or molest coyotes. According to the tradition three or four coyotes would be taken captive. whereupon the tribe would irather around them and bow down and "mo- muk hlyu wnwa." The cunning of the coyote, his abil ity to extricate himself In safety from seemingly Impossible situations and Ills proverbial luck In keeping his hide whole, doubtless appealed to the In dian Imagination as something akl:i to the supernatural, and they fell lown and worshipped this thing which possessed to such a high degree those traits esteemed as virtues by unciv ilised Indians, while his weird and lonesome cries lntho night probably took the place of songs of heavenly angels.

The "boy" appeared early at thr office and asked for enlistment. "All right, pull off your coat." called tho officer from the" Inner room. "I I I didn't know you had tn rtn this." answered a broken voice. And then the sergeant, coming Into the room suddenly, found the "boy" In tears. "I left home two weeks ago,1 said.

The endless work aboard our huge warships is wonderfully facilitated by electricity. To the landsman It Is hard to realize what a variety of uses elec tricity is put to on board a modern ruiser. Electricity elevates the guns, brings ammunition up' from the magazines ind communlcutes advice to the gun ner regarding his aim from a post of observation in one of the tops. Elec tricity .supplies light inside and out- dde the ship and makes possible the great searchlights.
