Coyote dialing with taut running dogi ia becoming n popular aport among number or lieppner people. it aeemi tnat aiooe tbe bounty was taken oft, tbe interest in acalptog coyote baa fallen to low ebb and consequently tbe cunning and wary coyote la last on the increase. it la eaia tbat coyotea were never more numerous in Morrow oounty. ia not onuaual tcr oue or more these animala to oome into town and raiae city ben rooat in tbe early boura or tbe morning and oarry away chicken for breakfast. Coyotea are not only bard to trap and aboot bot tbey are bard to oatob any way you go after them, it la only pastime and light exercise for one these animala to run away from an ordinary dog and to get them requires tbe fastest running does obtainable. Dr. Kistner, Mike i'.oberta, Peioy Garriguea, Hilly Cowina aod a few otbera bare for some time been gath ering up a bunch of docs tbat can ru fast enough to oatob a coyote. It not only takea speed but enduranoe and fighting ability to handle a full grown coyote, for when run down and caught tbe coyote wlil put up a right for hi life tbat la not to be aneered at. Dr. Kiatuer bai a paok of blgb bred Russian wolf hounds, while Mike lioberte. Percy Uarrlguea. llilly Cow ioa, Newt Wbetstone and a few otbera bare a number of tbe cross between the grey bound and ataj bound which makes a good dog lor oatooiog coy otea. Last Sunday Mike Roberta, Percy Garriguea, Wm. Cowina and Byland brotbera witnessed one of tbe moat exoitiog chases of tbe season. With aeven of the fleetest doga the party went up Uinton oreek baak of Jack Matlock's plaoe and aoon found a family of six ooyotea traveling in company. The doga were turned loose and tbe fun oommeoced. Two royotea were run down and captured by the dogi. One of tbe coyotes was picked tip by tbe doga right on top of a pair ot rattlesnakes. In the Hunt and mix np that . followed one of tbe flneBt doga owned by Mike Roberta was ult ten on tbe foot by one of the snakes. The dog was unable to get home and was brought in the next day. I he animal's leg Is badly swollen and be is still a mighty slok dog. lieppner Ga zette. Telling Immigrants of fie Country. While the farmer In tbe west, in tbe north, in tbe south and in the east wants belp and is making bla wants known in every possible way, tbe big cities are crowded with immlgiaota from foreign countries, some of whom bave never beard tbat there la i "country" in this broad America, Tbe Chicago Tribune a few days ago bad a pitiful story cf a Poliab Jamil- grant who bad bueu sent by an agent to that otiy, had seourt-d aork In tbe "oooler" of a dirge packing bouse where constant labor in a freezing at mospbere induced consumption trom which the man Is now dying, while bis wire and three young children are starring In one of tbe wretched tene meots that do duty for homes In tbe packing house district. wuea asuea wny tbey did not go straight to tbe oountry when tbey landed in Aniericoa the wife replied : "How should we know where the oountry h Hud bow to get there? I'o Chioago the ngeut fixed us eut, and nere no one told us about tbe ooun try. XV o one around these places seem to know there Is suoh a thing aaooun- uy in America." ioiuk or it, we wbo live in this great western ooun try, with ita freb and health giving Bimospnerei in a case ot tbat one man Is probably duplicated in hun dreds or thousauda of instances In Chicago and New York. No knowl edge ot the oountry. It is to meet tuoli conditions that tin division of Information inoouueo tion with tbe federal bureau of imml gratiion has been organized and ia commencing ayste uutio work among tbe immigrants. 1'. V. Powderly, formerly one of the ohlefs ot organ Ized labor and now head ot the gov ernment information division, hopes to make this branch uf tbe iminigra tion bureau a great faotnr in settling tbe social as well as tbe industrial problems of tbe oountry. Bulletins are to be printed In almost every Ian gunge under tbe sun, wherein the im migrant will be told what America means, what the government means, what the flag stands foi and what are bla rights and duties in addition, informative literature will be distrib uted among all alienB at the immi grant atations, so tbat all may know exactly what opportunities are open to tbem in the United States. Tbey will learn tbat there la something more before them than tbe oongested and insanitary distrlots of tbe tirf in dustrial centers. Mr. Powderly 's Idea Is to reaoh tbe Immigrants as aoon aa tbey come and transfer tbem to farms. Tba major part of those who oome, he says, are agriculturists aod naturally want to do tbe same kind of work here. The information to be given tbem will de scribe tbe different cliaiatlo condi tions throughout the country, tbe kind of crops raised, eto. With suoh a plan thoroughly and systematically worked out there should be none able to say tbey didn't know there was a "oountry" here. Public Pays the Freight, .

I was dining with some friends of mine whom I had not seen for some time, and the little daughter of my host waa seated at my left During the meal I turned to her and asked her name. She blushed rosily and bung her bead upon being addressed by stranger. Her papa said, "Can't you tell the gentleman your name?" l-auence wruiace," tbe little one made reply. "And how old are you?" I asked. "Four years old at H p. m." I have thought of this quaint reply and laughed at It many times since. Louise was a blue eyed, golden hair ed child seeing her fourth summer. Her grandpa was a churchman and Bible reader, so the child bad been told wbo sends the flowers, the sun shine, tbe rains, etc. God. As is tbe custom, during dry weather the grand pa would put tbe hose on and sprinkle tbe lawn and even the street, but at this particular time there bad been many days of rain. une morning her mother pushed up the shade of a window In their bed room and said, "Oh, Louise, the sun la shining, and the day will be fine," whereupon Louise remarked In her slow, serious manner, "Nen Dod won't have his hose out today, mamma." A few days ago a kindergarten teacher la this city was explaining to a class what It meant to be a "knight" Tho children listened with close atten tion while the teacher explained that "the knights must learn to suffer and not complain. They must learn to be tired and keep on working. They must learn to be hungry" But before she could finish the sentence a four-year-old girl exclaimed contemptuously: "Oh, Miss Edith, I learned that the first day I was born." Ruth, aced three years, had been presented with a small silver knife and fork, of which she was proud. She used them at the table In such a way. however, as to bring constant reproof. One day when she persistently put the knife in her mouth In spite of her mother's reprimands she was told crossly that the knife would be taken from her and that no one would love her. Like a flash she replied, "If you loved me as I love you, mamma, no knife could cot our love In two." Chi cago Tribune. Why Fret and Worry when your child haa a severe cold.
