It Is a story of n story. Its origin and
travels and of It reappearance to the
man who created It as lie made ptlgrlm
ares up and down this verdant earth.
A traveling correspondent of a really
great newspaper was returning from a
Journey that bed taken htm far from the
home office. Ily some slip he had failed
to connect with a through train on the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad. He
boarded the next train, which waa soma
irort of a local mix. up with a ohalr car
attachment. The engineer was doing tils
best to make good a lot of lost time.
An Ebony Flash.
The correspondent waa hungry, lie had
traveled over the line many times and
knw that there was nn eating house at
the station not far ahead. In a moment
of new-starvation ho hailed the sable
whUkbroora wlelder. who was even then
In ' state of gleeful anticipation of the
time when he would reduce the funds of
the lone occupant of the coach.
"Does this train stop at Harvard'"
gaaped the solitary traveler.
"No, soli, he don't even hesitate.','
The answer waa u quick aa the powder
-flaih that makes a snapshot saleabln. It
was a hair-trigger return. Its originality
waa not debatable. The ebony graftur
didn't know It. but he started something
that beat Puck's scheme of putting a
irlrdlo round about the earth without, of
course any expectation of beating Puck's
proposed time.
ThU story started ever 10 many year
aco. The correspondent put his head
against the toweled rest ot the chair and
closed his eyes. The tienegamblan reply
stuck In his brain llko n. feather In a
bucket of tar. It appeared In the next
Sunday Issue ot the correspondent's pa
per. It hit tho town, and a big city It
was as far back, as thatChicago, lief ore
night the story wns read and told In
hotels and clubs.
Did you ever hear of Hilly Mason, a
United $tatei senator from Illinois? lie
was familiarly called Ullty before he put
on the toga, and It sticks to him. He
caught a good story quloker than the
champion behind the bat. He knew such
a story on sight, and when he repeated
H you thought It was original with him.
lfe.took this Senegamblan story as a fish
takes the fly. Or as a woodpecker sur
prises a worm,
Tho story sot another send-off In a
Washington newspaper. The paragraph
began "Senator Bitty Mason of Illinois.
COYOTE IS NOT A COWARD

Old Prulrlp Wolf Mtooil Off
Twrnly-Flvr Fighting;

The coyote, or prairie wolf, having ac
quired a bad reputation for cowardlre
and other unworthy qualities, tn hclrg
rehabilitated as a flKhtlng animal In the
far northwest, whom his warfare on
sheep has led to the Institution, of "roy-
'ote drives." Itabblt drives are common
jn the weit. Hundreds of nien turn nut
and drive Jack rabbits Into a sort of cor
rat where they nrn killed In grsst num
bers. The success of the rabbit drives
led many people to suppose that tho coy
ote could be "rounded up" In tho sarno
war,
One experiment was tried In southern
Idaho. Hundreds ot men and boys workod
all day tn driving In the coyotes, which
swarm all through tho region, and when
they, the men and boys, had atl con
verged at the corral they found Just ono
coyoto tn It, and he got away.
when the next great coyote drive took
place better precautions were taken to
prevent the animal" from "leaking"
through tho lines. This drive was to the
Powder Tllvrr valley, Itr eastern Ore
gon. About ZA fanners, all thirsting, a
It were, for the blood of the coyotes
which had stolen their sheep, were
mounted on horseback, and they took
with them fifty dogs. They scoured the
country and kept well together, and after
good and well managed ride sixty
coyotes were rounded UP In a field.
There waa great excitement now, end
some of tho younger and mora Inexperi
enced men, thought they only had to put
these sixty "cowardly" creatures to death
In a heap. They soon found they wero
mistaken. The coyotes made a grand
and concerted rush for the compact, line
of men, horsep and dogs that henirrt'd
them In, and when thin rush warf over
the punters found I hat, they had only
nine wolves within the' Iqclosure. All
the rest were roaming the plains of esit
ofn Oregon at their own sweet wills,
The hunters now turned their attention
to those that were left, and, chiefly by
the help ot the dogs, succeeded In put
tins them to death, only one dog out
ot the fifty, however, proved adequate,
and he killed several ot tho nine.
One of the coyotes was the most valiant
fighter the hunters aver had seen. No
while In the cloakroom today told a new!Kr.y woIf' " Br,"'-V .cou,d ,,ave fol,S't
story." Then followed the Senegamblan
reply, and of course, Senator Mason was
the traveler to whom the -reply was made.
Worked Over for fa.
Thu correspondent Was hurried to Oal
vesten, Tex. While waltlpg for his
Johnnycake for breakfast he looked over
a morning print of the city. Ho read
that "nepresentatlve DsJley (he waa not
then senator) arrived In tho city last
night from Washington. Ho got here
twelve hours sooner than he expected be
cause his train did not "hesitate." Then
the story as told by Representative
Hal ley. what the porter of his car satd
to htm, etc.
The correspondent thought It was about
time for him to rope the yarn before It
went any further. He elaborated the
yam and rushed It to a New Yotlt publl-
caaon that waa then paying 5 cents "the
word' for good original stories, A few
weeks later he received a check for W
and something over, enough to pay ex
change.
The story waa In the first person, slngu
lar, and the writer's name was printed at
the bottom. He looked at himself In ii
mirror and his face reminded him ot
Nomethtng he had heard about a certain
little Jack Horner. He reckoned that lie
had this story lashed to the mast at lost.
Something happened In Philadelphia and
he waa aent there tc unravel auch an un
usual thing. It was tho day ot Mr.
Hok'a publication ot that wonderful mix
of high-brow fiction, layouts of lingerie
and stories of famous people. The story
of a colored porter of a Pullman
sleeper," as related by Benator Depew,
waa the Abou Ben Adhem of the page.
The correspondent chanced to look at
a calendar. It was the oay before New
Vear. He sat down and wrote Ws wtfer
I shall swear off tomorrow, not to drlnt
anymore, for drink I never do, but never
again to write a funny story. I can't
run counter to Chauncey Depew. He has
kidnaped my first-born, and there's no
