Richards, assistant land commissioner, is a hunter of no mean prowess, and in his home near the Big Born mountains, Wyoming, has killed more than one grizzly and mountain lion. Several days ago Mr. Richards jwas talking over sporting matters with a Washington Post reporter, when the conversation turned upon dogs and the yalue of the several breeds for hunting purposes, when he said: "In my section we have at last se cured a breed of dogs that is highly satisfactory. As wolf dogs they cannot be excelled, and the only time that tJ ;my recollection I ever saw these doga turn tail was on an occasion - when they faced four grizzlies. Even then they showed fight, retreating only (when it was absolutely necessary. Sev eral years ago we began experiment ing with a view to securing a breed of dogs sufficiently heavy and ferocious to attack and kill wolves and fleet enough to run them down. After many trials we found that a cross between the old Scotch staghound and the com mon greyhound proved far superior to any of the experiments we had pre yiously tried. "These dogs combine the fleetness of the greyhound with the strength and ferocity of the Scotch staghound and as a result are being extensively bred all through the west. A coyote stands no show whatever with these dogs, for as soon as the pack overtakes him he does not strike the ground until he is .literally torn limb from limb. The gray 'wolf is a better and harder fighter, but even in a fair fight one of these cross bred wolf hounds is an even match for the gray wolf. In fact there are some tot my dogs that are almost as wild and fierce as the wolves themselves. "These animals do not hesitate to tackle the black bear and generally make life a burden for him, while in hunting the grizzly bear they are quite useful in holding the game at bay un til the hunter arrives to give 'Wahb' his coup de grace." KRUGER'S NEW HOME. Description of tbe Ex-Boer Presi dent's Residence at Utreclit. The new dwelling which Mr. Kruger Occupies at Utrecht. Holland, is called "Oranjelust," meaning "Orange joy," or "favor," which is somewhat appropri ate, seeing the favor with which he iwas treated by the one remaining mem ber of the house of Orange here, the queen of the Netherlands. Oranjelust is separated from the public pathway by an iron railing and stands in a small garden. The garden Is flanked with bushes, and the center space is occupied with a rockery. Around the latter tulips have been planted to represent the Transvaal flag, and when they bloom the "Vierkleur" will be Just in front of Oom Paul's window. 4, Oom's part of the house is the right hand lower portion, consisting of re ception room, bedroom and dining room. The first of these is elaborately fitted up in the style of Louis XV., the walnut furniture being unholstered with green material worked with lilies In white. The curtains are of green stuff also. Mr. Kruger's bedroom suit is of oak, upholstered in green, and there are green curtains to the windows. But the dining room is the wonder of- those who are fortunate enough to get a peep into it. Oak upholstered with red leath er and red plush curtains, the chamber has a very warm appearance. The car pet comes from Smyrna. It is a most elaborate piece of work. It will be re membered that dark green is the color f Mr. Kruger's livery. The remaining portion of the house Is for the ex-president's followers, iWhile two doors farther up the road the family of the Eloffs have taken up their abode. Some time ago Dr. Leyds took a house in the town, so that now ,the entire Boer court is close together, and Mr. Kruger only needs to blow a (Whistle if he wishes to hold a cabinet fcounclL. 1 Some Pretty Valentine Gifts. A heart shaped cut glass flask for jperfume or a heart shaped box with kilver top for the toilet table or a ring ftvith a true lover's knot encircling a whole pearl, a turquoise or an ame thyst, which is the February birth stone, would please a young girl, says the February Ladles' Home Journal. 'A heart shaped locket with a single pearl and having a place for hair and a photograph inside is a pretty gift, as is also a pendant of the same shape for the watch chain. To My Youthful Valentine. "My love, she's but a lassie yet." So wrote a poet years ago. 'Full well he knew, the clever bard, He'd but to wait, and she would grow. And so to you, dear valentine, With laughing eyes and golden hair, 1 pray you hurry up and grow To womanhood; I'll meet you there. But yet perhaps I'd better not. For should time prove to me unkind, Tou then might say, oh, cruel thought. "Why. what a queer old valentine!" Thomas H. Wilson in Harper's Bazar. DECLINE OF POETRY. One hundred and fifty years ago the novel was unknown. It now slops over all literature. It is riotous, filling in the minds of many the entire field. History, science, philosopbp, and, alas, poetry go down before it. This is not a fanciful statement. It's a fact, and nine readers out of ten are perties to the transaction. Does not this hunger for fic tion account for the sad fact that the writing of poetry is no longer remunerative? Volumes of poetry are not salable in considerable numbers. Publishers shun them unless the writer is willing and able to pay the freight. Even the occasional poem no longer commands from the press a price it is so numerous, and no one reads magazine poetry. True, we have no Burns on tap at present, as they who were liy ing one hundred years ago had, but if we had a Burns or a Sir Waiter Scott today be would not command the attention or tbe money that was freely offered one hundred years ago for poet, ic products. Fiction is holding the popular fort. It wins the dollars, and its finer companion is out in the cold. Is this to continue? Are we to have no more great poets? Is the century to give us no Emerson, no Bryant, no Poe, no Lowell, no Longfellow, no Whitman? Here are six of the nineteenth century that wrote at least a good verse. At times they rose to heights far above tbe common place. vVe have many today who are tsingers of merit, as "The Re cessional" and "Tee Man With a Hoe" testify, but tbe poet of to day cannot sing to empty bench es. The market for poetry is lack ing. And herein is the trouble. If the century gives us no poets equal to the six we have mention ed, it will be because song has gone down in the market place, and fiction is filling the field; the potts are simply starved out. The law of supply demands applies, in other words, to poetry as well as to pork, although the forrrer is be ond doubt the truest and best mark of an age's progress and culture. Woodland Crumbs. Mrs. Cury Parker is in rather poor health, we regret to know. We are glad to note that Mrs. Levi Massey's broken arm is ims proving. Mrs. Willis Peele is much bet ter.we are glad to note. We hope she may soon be out again. If a cold winter is a sign of a good crop year, we may look for a bountiful harvest next fall. The Endeavor meeting at Woodland church was well at tended last evening, and was en joyed by all who were present. Mr. S. Newell and family have moved from near Woodland church back to the Hollowell place,where they lived last year. Mr. Will Carton and family have moved from the Ed Smith place, and Mr. William Howell, the bridge minder, has moved in the same place. Reader. Woodland, Feb. 25, 1902.

THE STATE DINNER. Washington, Feb. 24. The dinner given by the President of the United States in honor of the visiting Prince began at 8 o'clock tonight. The table was laid in the east room, neither the State dining room nor the spacious corridor in the middle of the house, where State dinners are sometimes held, being large enough to accommodate the large number of guests. All the apart ments on the lower floor of the mansion were decorated with palms, ferns, potted plants and cut flowers in profusion. HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE. Tupelo, Miss., Feb. The plant of the Tupelo Cotton Compress Company, together with 700 bales of cotton was burned to-day. Loss $50,000. The plant was not insured. Railroad Magnate Morgan's great dinner to Prince Henry must not be taken as an experiment on the part of the multi-millionaire to look the German royalty over so that if he likes it he can go over and buy the rest of it.
