That Wolf. Foster, Mo., Dec. 10, 1907.—The large wolf caught at Mat Adame’ on Nov. 21st, 07, mention of which was made in Taz Times, was caught by the hounds of Brisco Bros., John Miller, Roller Hinsley and Willatd Whitely. There were about twenty doge all told. The game was flushed at Broshy Mound, northeast of old Reavely. They gave Mr. Wolfabout three hours run in that country, when he led them northwest through the Island and we lost them. Never heard of the “catch” until we saw it in Tae Toaks.

Now, when you come right down to good, sound reasoning, isn’t {t afact that the troubles of the poor man and the rich man are about evenly divided? The rich man hae a square meal and a canary appetite; the poor man has a square appetite and canary meal, The rich man wants the poor man’s appetite and the poor man wants the rich man’s meal. The rich man hasn’s money enough to buy the appetite and the poor man lacks the funds to buy the meal.
