HE MADE WOLVES DANCE
Tri rtddler Draws th Bow Hastily
M Clvrlr Baca th
Cam.
Th VnJy man In Wirt, Minn., that can
play a flddl worth whlla la Henry Hlnkena,
a homeiteadcr, whose ervlor arc always
In demand whenever the lumberjacks rive
a dance, which they did the other night at
Houpt
After Hinkens had eaten his supper and
done the evening chorea a&out his place be
put his kit under, his ann and started on
the eraa-mlie tramp through the woods to
Jloupt. There was considerable anow on
the ground, the thermometer was hoverin
about the sero mark and the sky was clea
and brilliant with stars. Hinkens trudge
along the lonely trail, whistling the Ules
dance tune and occasionally slapping his
Imnds together to keep them warm.
lie had gone but a couple of miles when
he haard the distant bay, of a wolf. He
paid no attention to It. for wolves are com
mon In this section and rarely attack a
man unless pressed by hunger. Neverthe
less, when he heard several answering
howls Hinkens quickened his pace and oc
caatonally Utrew aa apprehensive giauce
over his shoulder. It was not long before
he discovered that half a dosen big gray
fellows were trotting down the trail after
him, only a few hundred yards away.
The homesteader was unarmed, and, see
ing a giant pine, partly broken off by the
wind, near the trail, divided to ascend It
In the hope that the wolves would pas
him by unnoticed. He reached the top of
the stump, a trlflo over six feet above the
level of the snow, none too soon, for the
band of wolves, Inutend of passing on down
the trail, followed his footsteps to the foot
of the pine. and. seeing their prey treed,
sat down on their haunches and awaited
developments. ,
' Nothing happening, one big fellow, appar
ently the leader of the band, suddenly
leaped at Hinkens' feet, welch were bang
ing carelessly down the side of the tree
trunk. Henry drew them up Just In time
to escape having his flesh nipped, and then
the rest of tM band began to follow their
leader and see how near they could come
to nipping the treed homesteader.
Hinkens hgan to find their amusement
rather tiresome, and, remembering to have
heard somewhere that there Is a charm in
mii.t. whlnk utn K . ' u t t ,
Vlded to try. the effects of a tune upon the
K wives. He unloosened his kit. drew the
fiddle to his chin. and. after a little pre
liminary tuning up, started in with his
favorite, "Teasing, Teasing, I Was Only
Teasing You."
The effect upon the brutes was Instan
taneous. They stood stock-still for an in
stant with ears pricked up as if curious to
know whence came the lively music. Then
the full force of the cutchy ragtime seemed
to strike them, and, swaying their bodies in
unison with the notes of the music, they
began what Hinkens afterwards said waa
the best imitation of a cake walk he had
ever seen. The big gray leader waa espe
cially active, and cut more tajitaatlc
pigeon wings than the biggest "buck" that
ever led a walk.
By the time "Teasing" was finished Hin
kens had warmed to the work, and struck
into the "lilue Danube" waits, and again
the timber wolves " perfor med their gyra
tions in unison with the music.
Hinkens likes to fiddle ; with him It is a
labor of love. Bo he continued to rlay,
walls following waits, with a two-step
thrown in now and then and an occasional
divergence to raytime. And still the wolves
leaped snd bounded to the strains of the
mualo. Apparently It had become a contest
between man and beast to see which would
tire first. Hinkens felt that his reputation
waa at stake, and sawed tune alter tune out
of his fiddle with such vigor and animation
that he did not notice the lapse of time.
When, however, the lumberjacks were
ready to begin their dance, they found their
fiddler was absent, and a party of them
started down the trail to look for him. They
had gone about half the distance when they
were puizled to hear the strains of a waits
wafted on the night air from the woods a
little off the trail. They started to Investi
gate and discovered Hinkens perched on top
of the tree stump fkldllng away for dear
life.
Five big gray wolves were stretched out
on the snow, apparently dead, while one Im
mense fellow was circling round and round
with flattering step and drooping head, try
ing In vain to keep time to the exhilarating
strains of the waits which was flowing
under Hinkens' skillful manipulation of the
bow. They gave a shout, and Hinkens
dropped his fiddle to the ground, and him
self followed it. His arm was so tired he
could scarcely raise It, but he was able to
whlvpr in a husky tone: "I outstayed 'em,
anyhow."
The wolves were speedily dispatched and
Hinkens was lifted on the shoulders of the
stury "Jacks" and carried to the dance
hall, where he played for the balance of the
nlghU New York World.
LEAD PIPE CINCH BUGS
Millions of Little Wlgsrlers Eat Iaan
latloa from Electric Light
Wires.
Electrical engineers and fire underwriters
interested in the Union stock yards, Chicago
have "gone bughouse" over the advent of
unidentified larvae swarming certain sec
tions of packing plants and Insisting on
feeding upon the lead pipe Insulation of
electric wires.
Biting off no more lead than they com
fortably can chew and easily digest, thess
brown, hairy little wigglers, each five
eighths of an inch long and of svelte figure,
are moving through the "hoof" housrs at
the yards, gnawing irregular patches of
lead, often cutting through the cloth and
rubber Insulation and short circuiting the
electric current.
Holes an inch long and half an Inch wide
have been cut through one-tenth Inch thick
ness of hard pipe. Under the microscope
this cutting shows Infinitesimal lines where
the larvae's incisors have marked the edges
of the holes.
"The lead pipe cinch" bug is the designa
tion given the creature by Director Fred J.
V. Skiff ef th Field Columbian museum.
In whose entomological laboratory this lit
tle lead eater Is under observation.
William J. Gerhard, assistant curator of
the division of entomology, who has a small
handful of the whiskered little squirmers
In a domestic cigar box n the laboratory,
accepts the Judgment of his chief that the
creature has Just that kind of cinch. But
since the little lead eater has been under
scrutiny of the laboratory, with a side or
der of cake from a nearby reetiurant placed
conveniently In the cigar box. Mr. Oerhanl
can't Induce the Insect to eat any more
lead pipe.
" 'The cake may be a little heavier?'
that's so; I hadn't thought of that," said
Mr. Gerhard, dragging an Index finger
thoughtfully across his brow.
It is In the "hoof" house at the yard"
that the little creature has appeared l
millions. These .houses are for the storag.i
of hoofs that are under way in the pro
cesses toward glus manufacture. In th
houses the floors are cf wood, three or four
Inches thick.. Yet this hairy worm ha
honeycombed them in Its search for lead
pipe.
Danger from fires caimed by the short
rlrcuitlng of electric currents caused N. A.
Burleigh, inspector for fire underwriters, to
carry a consignment of the larvae, pupae
and beetles over to Mr. Gerhard at the lab
oratory.; A cross section of the guawt4
lead pipe and wiring, cut from one of these
buildings, were enclosed in the box for
luncheon purposes, but the little pests hare
disdained it and feasted exclusively oa
Hyde Park restaurant cake.
It has been a question whether the larvae
had not been eating away the lead In order
to get at the canvas or the rubber Insola
tion, but it is the consensus of opinion in
the laboratory that it would be a fool bug
that would gnaw away seventy grains of
lead to get four bites of cloth Insulation,
especially when . the larvae would rather
have restaurant cake anyhow.
So great have been the ravages of these
larvae upon the lead Insulation In the hoof
houses that already new Installations of
electric wires are being conducted in gas
pipe protection. Borne of the floors of the
houses are so bored and weakened that
cement will have to take the place of the
wood. Chicago Tribune.
