extension of tho mill spur for over half a

room to unload or load several cars of

It is planned to have a wolf and coyote
hunt on St. Valentino's day in this end of
the county. It will be pulled off if there
is a sufficient number to take nn, interest
in it. A good place for the final round up
t is in a canyon about four miles north of
i town or a little northwest about a mile
or two north of Britton's ranch. It has
h ticen suggested that thoe interested meet
on the forenoon of Feb. ind the day of
theTelephouo Co-'s meeting and make
the "necessary rules and provide for the
stakingjjoiTt of tha circle usually about a
; a mile in diameter where the final
shooting is to take place. The usual
thing is to drive all the coyotes and wolves
Snd other game into this central place be-
fore killing thfem and then to shoot only
those who try to break thru the driving
JJme before arriving at said place. The
west lino will start probably -from the
x
county line, the north lino from a couple
pf miles north of tho river, the east line
from. Dunlap running in a southwest
i direction to llerea, the remainder nf the
distance to the point of beginning as may
ijbe arranged for. The idea is to start a-
Rbout 7: a. m. and form as complete a line
as possible nnd to drive tho wolves into

Innocent slander.
One's friends like otic to be interested.
They detest one who Is curious.
To be Interested In those one meets

To see the best of those about us will
cause us to wish them well.

Don't, therefore, seek to know what

something from you he hns a reason
for doing It. Prove your interest nnd
your lack of vulgar curiosity by trust

TRAVELING IN INDIA. 1
One 31 nut Hire 11 Nntlvc Servant or
L3 ml u re KnillvhH Trouble.
Every one who goes to India to travel
or live at hotels, fays the Chicago Ucc-
ord-Ucrald. niltst have n personal serv
ant, a native who performs the duties
of vnlet, waiter and errand boy and
whatever else may bo required of him.
'l'hls Is 11 Used custom of the country,
to resist which brings endless trouble
to tho traveler.
Many of tho Indian hotels expect the
guests to bring nil their own servants,
both chambcrmnlds and wallers, und
aro consequently so short handed tliat
the traveler who conies without them
has usually to wait upon himself.
On tho railways n native servant Is
quite indispensable, for travelers are
required to carry their own bedding,
make their own beds and furnish their
own towels. The company provides :t
bench to sleep on similar to those in
American freight cabooses.
Each car has also a washroom and
sometimes water. But If the traveler
wishes to be sure of washing his face
in the morning and If he Is wise he will
send his servant to the station master
before4 the train starts inyl nMc to hove
tho water tank filled. Then a Hindoo
with a goatskin full of wnter will
climb to the roof of the car and fill it
and, having descended, avIH stnhd be
fore the door and touch his forehead
every time the traveler looks toward
him till he receives a penny.
At the eating houses along the road
the bcrvnnt "will have to raid the ta
bles and shelves for food and bring it
to the car for his master, since no wait
ers are provided. In addition he will
biro baggage carriers and will nttend
to all the details of catching trains and
engaging rooms.
A good servant can be hired for $15
a month. Poorer "bearers," as they are
called, can be engaged for 52 or $3 a
month nnd expect to ''find" them
Belvcs, but the traveler must pay roll
way fare for them.
