lug bit of legend rc-Knrdlng the sheep
men's (fi'atest enemy:
lmi iiiK the coming month the stock
men throiiKhout the state of Oregon
propose to make a concerted war on
the coyotes, In un effort to free them
selves from the depredation's of these
cunning pests among their fiocks of
sheep, besides losses of swine and
poultry, says tho Madras I'lonerr. 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.
But how are the mighty fallen! In

where his godshlp once roamed and

Her curls cropped close to her pret

Kathryn Newton, traveling all tho way
from Quebec, Canada, disguised as a
boy, broke down and wept bitterly at
the Sioux City recruiting station of
the United States army w hen Sergeant
Hall asked her to strip for the physi
cal examination necessary to act on
her application for enlistment.
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.

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. The invisible force
opens and closes doors and hatches,
actuates automatic indicators, drives
ventilating blowers and winches
which control a greut variety of tackle
nnd supplies power for hoists.
nffjeer on the bridge signals to
engineer with electricity. Telephones
communicate with all parts of the
essel and wireless telegraph Instru
ments are In constant touch with land
or other vessels. The telephones are
1lso used to pick up fog signals trans
ited through tfie water. Even In
he kitchen electricity is found useful
