No wonaer, men, that the best shot of tnat sort on record should have been made by a Texan of Kentucky descent. We may call him Hank. His enemies. nowever, bad other names for him. It was, In fact, because a Dartlcular one of these enemies, commonly known as lorm, naa heen indiscreet in this mat ter of nomenclature that Hank had extra-oiled his six-shooters and rone out to take a walk in the cool of the evening. Torm was warned, and with his sir shooters also extra-oiled, Intrenched nimseii behind one of the solid brick pillars of the courthouse porch. It was past dusk and the swing ing kerosene .lamp In the porch failed to illuminate the gloom of the village street where Hank was with his battery, while it made an easy target or a Human head poked from behind the pillar, ae it must be if the owner were to do any effective shoot ing on his own account Torm wisely Btuck behind the pillar. Hank maneu vered in vain. Wherever he stood, the pillar was between him and every on or Torm. At last he gave vent to his disgust in these words, distinctly overheard by listeners well under cover across the road: "I see I've got to try a carom shot or I'll never get the coyote." He carefully eelected his position, took aim at a certain spot on the brick wall behind the pillar, and pulled the trigger. The bullet went true to the mark, ricocheted, caught Torm in the side of the head, and killed him where he stood. The story Is' vouched for by a mem ber of the Republican party In Texas. New York Evening Post. News of an Ancient King. Following his recent return from Egypt to England, Prof. Flinders Ee trie, the eminent Egyptologist, lec tured before the British School of Archeology for Egypt. He told of hav ing exhumed the mummy of a woman that offered evidence that labor unions existed 5000 B. C. She was a mem ber of a "union of cake sellers," and the inscription that told of her occu pation also declared that she was the daughter of one Apollonlus. The latest Egyptian excavations un der Doctor Petrie have been rich in discoveries, according to the London correspondent of the New York Sun. A king who had hitherto been unknown to history is now brought to the knowl edge of the world. His name was HaJ No portrait of him was found, but a clue to his existence was given by the carving of a Jar that was found in one of the graves. "It is a scratchy drawing," says Pro fessor Petrie, "and was evidently done by a prehlstorio man. There is no mention of this king since Mena, who was the first king of Egypt; so he must have belonged to a date previous to that, and was probably short-lived;" Youth's Companion. Not Much Doubt Several Americans in London re cently applied to an agency for an automobile in which to go sightsee ing. There was difficulty in getting one on such short notice, but when the hour arrived a luxurious limou sine car was placed at their disposal. The chauffeur proved very informed. When they returned they remarked that they had never had such a car or such a driver. "Well, it is not often that one like this is for hire," was the reply. "Did you notice the coat of arms on the door? That automobile belongs to Lady ," naming one of the wealth iest American heiresses married to an English peer, "but she is out of town." . The Americans who had the use of Lady -'s car are wondering wheth er she or the chauffeur enjoyed the profits. "Copper." ' i How about copper? What has hap pened to it? Who does not remember when it played a most Indispensable part in our industry, yes but more especially in our psychology? How we used to worry about it as we wended our ways to our offices in the morning and how we grabbed the newspapers to read about Its antics as we left our offices in the afternoon! Hqw the furrows deepened in the brows of our brokers and our finan ciers as they eagerly watched the tickers for a few ticks of hope. Whether Amalgamated or flsslparated, crystallized or amorphous, as copper went so went the fortunes of the en tire nation. Tempora mutanturl How many things are now allowed to happen without copper's being taken into the slightest consideration! If copper has any work to do, it is permitted to do It without being subjected to articles In the magazines or editorials In the newspapers. It is a fickle public! But still, if we were copper, we should hardly know whether to be Joyful or aggrieved over thlo loss of prestige. JUie, KILL BEASTS OF PREY FOREST RANGERS WAR ON THE PREDATORY ANIMALS. Not" Only Save Stockmen Many Thou sands of Dollars Yearly, but Afford Protection to the Milder Class of Game. During the past fiscal year 4,686 preaatory animals were killed by fed eral officers on the national forests, ac cording to an actual count of car casses. An Indeterminate number of animals, whose bodies were not found, are presumed to have died from poi son. The ranger's bag of beasts of prey this year, as shown by forest service figures, was made up of 206 bears, 3,541 coyotes, 133' mountain lions, 62 lynx, 683 wild cats, 64 wolves and 97 wolf puna. The fleures indicate that the national forests are becoming cleared of wild animals that prey upon domestic live stock and game for tha forest ranger fills in odd moments be tween other Jobs by thinning out "un desirable citizens" of the animal world Wolves are said to cause greater losses to western stockmen than any other or tne predatory animals. It is esti mated that a family of wolves will de stroy about $3,000 worth of stock per annum and that one able-bodied wolf costs the grazing industry 600 a sea son. The wolves are of two classes the smaller prairie wolves or coyotes ana tne larger gray, black, or timber wolves, called "lobos." These latter are the great stock destroyers against wnicn tne campaign of the rangers haB been waged. The methods of hunting wolves in the west vary. On the plains wolves are sometimes bunted with dogs and horses, but this wav la considered expensive and often dangerous. This sport is described by Roosevelt In his earlier hunting books. i On national forests the rangers either set out poi son or baited steel traps or, by watch ing trails and hiding near a wolf's den, are able to shoot one or both.of the old wolves when they return from foraging., In no other way, according to the forest service, can the number of wolves be kept down so well as by finding their dens and destroying the young. The skins of the Dredatorv animals killed by the rangers are either kepi as -souvenirs or sold for a price or for bounty. Wolf skins in the west ar said to bring from $4 to S6 fortobes and rugs; a mountain lion skin, $10 to :u; and a bear skin, anywhere from $20 to $150. according; to size and sne cies. In addition to this there arc bounties on bears, Hons and wolvei in most of the western stock state Wyoming, in ten years, has paid out it is said, over $65,000 in bounties on wolves alone and $95O00 more on coyotes and 'mountain lions. Throuch his activity against these pests the iorest ranger, it is said, has saved the stockmen many thousands of dot lars during the year, while the pro tection to game animals, such as deer, elk and antelope, is of almost equal importance.

While surgeons of the Methodist hospital, in this city, were amputat ing the feet of John Guest who was run over by a train at Bangor, Pa., his gold watch was stolen from his pocket When he recovered conscious ness from the anesthetio he missed the timepiece, and the loss caused a hurried search, but nothing could be found to explain the Iobs. Suspicion fell on Paul Relker, an orderly at the institution. " He was arrested, confessed, and was held for trial In the night court This led to the discovery that another patient Frank Price, was robbed of a dia mond stickpin while under the in fluence of ether In the surgical ward, and Relker also confessed that theft.
