"But I do. I don't take sass from

Forty rods beyond the residence ot
Judge Horton, for this tbe big bouse
was and It was his daughter Edlta in
the hammock, the tramp sat down
again. There was no hurry. On his
left was a four-acre lot grown up to
thistles, and It was a bit of scenery
for tbe wayrarer. His eyes bad
roamed over tbe Held when they were
brought back to the hlgbway to rest
on a big mastiff coming towards blm
on the Jump.
"Mad dog!" whispered tbe tramp
after watching for a moment
Head held high eyes a Oendlsh

were the true signs. Tbe tramp stood
up and grasped the stout stick by
which be carried his old satchel over
his shoulder. The dog came straight
at him, but at tbe last moment
swerved aside and passed on. He
was half-blind In bis agony, and be
may have taken tbe man for a
shadow.
"Gate open and girl In the ham
mock!" whispered the tramp. "Will
he turn in? If he does she will scream,
and what then? 1 musn't take
chances!"
Tbe dog had forty rods to go by
the road, and the man, by leaping the
fence and making a short cut bad
only about twenty-Ove. One Jump and
he was over tbe fence, and then be
struck a cinder-track gait.
The dog stopped for a few seconds
at tbe gate and then turned In. Just
then tbe girl sat up In the hammock,
and seeing both tramp and dog she
screamed. The tramp let out another
link, and he was at the foot of the
steps wben the mad beast came racing
up with growls of agony or anger.
With a full swing of his stick the
tramp bowled the dog over, and three
or four more blows finished him.
"What what is it!" demanded the
girl.
"Just a mad dog, miss." was the re
ply as the dusty outing cap was lirted.
"He's dead and there's nothing to
fear."
"But I want to know."
"Just a mad dog."
And tbe tramp bad reached tbe gate
when Judge Horton and bis wife came
driving up, and the Judge leaped out
and seized tbe man by tbe collar and
exclaimed:
"Hold on, here! I want to know
what's been going on!"
"Don't let him get away, father!"
cried Edith as she came running.
"What's be done "
"Why, be killed a big mad dog that
was after me! I want to know bis
name and make blm accept thanks."
"Just a mad dog," replied tbe tramp
with a deprecating smile.
Tbe Judge banded blm a $20 bill,
and wben it was refused he cast
around to give a reward in some other
way.
"Look here," he said after a bit,
"there's four solid acres of thistles
over there belonging to me. 1 want
'em cut down and rooted out. I'll give
you $10 an acre to do it. and you can
get board with the farmer Just below."
The next day the tramp went to
work with scythe and spade, and it
was a twenty-days' Job be had. Three
or four times in that stretch Judge
Horner visited tbe field and tried to
draw the worker out, but be did not
succeed very well. On two occasions

"Did, eb? Then I must warn him

It was the tramp's last day on hit

FEW FACTS REGARDING DRINK
Borne Striking Details Concerning Pub
lic Houses In Rural Districts of
Russia and Some Figures.
Tbe temperance organ of tbe CbHrcn
of England Temperance "society In
Great Britain, publishes some strik
ing details regarding drink and pub
lic bouses In tbe rural districts of
Russia and quotes some figures and
facts concerning tbe government mo
nopoly of the liquor traffic. An ex
tract reads as follows:
Vodka in Russia Is a universal
drink; it Is drunk in the palace of
the czar and In the poorest cottage.
As it is possible to obtain In the
government spirit shops a small bot
tle of vodka for less than a penny,
the poorest beggar Is now able to In
dulge In the national beverage.
"All atiempts to save the people
from drunkenness, and thereby raise
them, both morally and economically,
have hitherto been of no avail. Be
fore the government took over tbe
sale of spirits there were villages In
Russia where It was Impossible t buy
vodka, and where the peasants were,
comparatively speaking, well to do.
But now the government Is Inundating
tbe smallest and most distant villagee
with a flood of spirits. In some of
these villages tbe women have been
roused to fury not through their love
of alcohol, but owing to their hatred
of It. In order to save tbelr families
from destruction, they have In some
districts assembled and stormed the
'kassonkl' (the government spirit
shops), the offenders being afterwards
very severely punished.
"The government makes an enor
mous profit from the sale of spirits.
Last year tbe sale amounted to 50,
000.000." Official statistics from Russia show
that in 1908 there were 27.402 "sa
loons" where vodka was sold, 2.67T
vodka breweries, 511 private distil
leries. 26 reserve stores, and one fis
cal spirit distillery, divided Into 43
sections. The consumption of vodka
for the year was 232,813.382 gallons.
The first all-Russian meeting against
habitual drinking was held at 8t. Pet
ersburg. December 31, 1909, to Janu
ary 6, 1910.
Drink a Handicap.
During these days of competition
no man or woman should be handi
capped by tbe drink curse. It Is true
that many able men drink liquors, but
It Is frequently the case for men of
ability to lose their good positions
because tbey - become unreliable
through drink. They are branded as
fools and they ought to have known
better, but nothing was ever done to
warn them of the dangers ot drink
ing alcoholic beverages until It was
too late to do any good.
The fact that alcoholism In Its various-stages
Is a disease, and. like
pneumonia, consumption and typhoid
fever, requires a special treatment has
not been recognized until recent
years. . .v. ..
': Supreme Enemy of Labor.
' The supreme enemy of the work
ing man Is the liquor traffic it robs
him of his hard-earned wages and
gives him nothing in return. When
the leaders of tba labor unions open
their eyes to tbe facta of the case,
they will find that the grasping avarice
of the worst combinations la not to be
compared with the Injury wrought up
on labor by the malignant traffic In
liquor. It may well be conceded that
the time is not far diBtant when or
ganized labor will demand the con
demnation, the eradication, the ex
termination ot the liquor traffic; and
nay God speed the day. Bishop W.

COYOTES IN KSfTTAHA
A MONTANA
SINCE the transformation of
prairie into grain fields by a
host of eager farmers, nearly all
tbe wild creatures have disap
peared. To the old-time ranch
er, riding home from the distant post
office at sundown, the careless coyote,
as It slinks across the crop-dividing
lane, seems a last link with a bygone
era, and Its evening serenade becomes
a bowl of sympathetic protest against
the roar of gasoline englnea. For the
coyote is not pantc-atrlcken by advanc
ing tides or hyper-clvlllzed life like
Its large congener the wolf, but adapts
Itself to altered conditions, and prob
ably finds In the latest boom of tbe
poultry yard some compensation for
the disappearance of sheep, writes E
8. Cameron In Country Life. I have
somewhere read tbat tbe cat which
can strike an octave Is the only must
cion among mammals, but I think the
coyote can excel the tabby In this re
spect. It can do anything It likes with
Its voice and, with the ease of a light
operatic soprano, can shriek in altls-
simo or rattle out staccato at top
speed, besides barking and howling In
all the variations peculiar to a dog of
Its size. When several coyotes affect
orchestral combination tbe effect la
Indescribable.
Recent systemattsts assign eight
species of coyotes to the United
States, and four more to Mexico, but
in the present account I refer only to
Canis latrano. Coyotes, like foxes, dif
fer very much In size, but an average
male coyote In Montana weighs 25
pounds snd stands about twenty-five
Inches at the ahoulder, with a total
length from tip to Up ot 44 Inches, of
which the tall occupies IS Inches. The
prevailing hue of onr coyote is ash
color, which darkens on the back ow
ing to tbe profusion of black balrs,
and turns gradually to reddish yellow
at all tbe extremltlea, excepting tbe
tip of tbe tall, which la usually black,
but occasionally white.
Aid to Farmer,
If the farmers are wise, the coyote
will date a new lease of life from the
new agriculture; for where .there are
no aheep, the quondam foe becomes a
valued friend and ally to keep down
tbe hordes ot jack-rabbits, gophers,
prairie dogs, fleld-mloe and other pests
which destroy tbe crops. Owing to an
epidemic among the once abundant
cottontail-rabbits, coyotes, in default
of carrion, subsist during the winter
chiefly upon mice. Among the latter
are included tbe volea (Mlcrotus),
which are very deatructive, and (as
ably demonstrated by Mr. Stanley E.
Piper of tbe Biological society) so pro
lific tbat, in the absence of natural
checks, they might multiply to a
plague every four or flvo years. The
Nevada vole plague within recent
memory forbids a doubt that unless
the threatened extermination of
hawks, owls and coyotes can be avert
ed, the result must be disastrous to
the farmer, yet "he declines" (I quote
the eminent naturalist, Dr. As K. Fish
er, Yearbook, United State depart
ment of agriculture) "to give a mere
pittance In return for value received,
and visits Indiscriminate' persecution
on the humble and faithful workers
that have helped to save bis harvest
or orchard." That coyote may devel
op Into confirmed poultry thieves is
Indisputable, but In my experience
these crafty robbers of the henroost
are either female with hungry pups
dependent on them, or Individuals of
feeble type, whom age or Injury pre
clude from bunting in a wider Held.
The raids are made at night or early
dawn, and it I thus a simple matter
to safeguard the bird by shutting
them up when they retlr to root
Turkey, however, must be excepted,
tbelr vagrant habit rendering them an
easy prey. Coyotee wltb a taste for
chicken know by Instinct when the
homestead 1 untenanted or insecurely
watched, and the persecuted beast
forthwith become extremely bold. At
the time ot writing, 'a neighbor (Mr.
Hagen) happened to be alone on her
ranch in the early morning hour with
out companion other than her little
girl and an old blind dog. Hearing a
terrible outcry among her fowl, she
rnshed to the barn where they were
gathered for the night, and surprised
coyote in the mlddla of Its gory
work. One headless pullet already
stained the ground, and a second was
just saved from a similar fate by her
sudden appearance, which alarmed
tbe murderous brute, causing It to re
treat without It booty. Meanwhile
the thoroughly terrified fowl cat
tered wildly to all direction, and one
bewildered nn alighted In the center
of a near-by pond. Bravely the owner
breasted the flood to save ber favorite
from a watery grave, and cleverly on
the Instant the watchful marauder, re
turning at fuU speed, captured a 6
md pullet, which It proceeded to de
vour within full view of the house
Nothing short ot destruction will pre
vent a chicken-stealing coyote from
persevering In its raids until all the
accessible fowls are gone. An adult
fppd coyote, for example, which -jepd
from us with a collar on, was

Swift as the coyote undoubtedly is,

and mother of this younger, while;
visiting a resort near the capital, werai
watching the boy and girls swine
the circle on a merry-go-round. The
father commented upon the. sight pre
sented by one small-sized youngster
astride a huge Hon, and, as he did so,
noticed a serious look on the faoe or

beside him. "Why such a solemn ex
pression, Tom?" asked the father. "1

tor another, wlahed to use It to the
best advantage, ' whether would get
a longer ride than 1 had on the Dorse

bottles, I was completely restored and
