COWBOY ARTIST SEEKS BIG.GAME WITH 'ARROWS Plans to Shoot a la Indian After _Becoming Expert 'With Year's Practice By the Associatd Press. SHERIDAN, Wyo.,.-January: 256—E. W. (BIll) Gollings, famed as Wyo- ming’s “cowboy-artist,” plans to shoot big game .this year with bow and arrow, as dld the Indlans, who -are the subjects of some of his'pictures. ‘The artist became interested in archery a year ago and has become S0 skillful that he can pull and shoot a_fifty-five-pound bow, thus making things interesting for a rabbit or grouse within reasonable distance. With his tipped arrows he is confident Lie will be successful in his hunt for big game. An _arrow, shot unerringly and under”favorable conditions, will pass entirely thraugh, the body of a large animal, while in‘'many cases a bullet fromr a rifte will flatten out before complétely penetrating. Mr. Gollings makes his bows of imported lemon wood and flax strings. The ends are tipped “with cow horn. The arrows he' fashions from hardwood and turkey, wings, tlpping them with Ariny rifle cartridges from which the coptents have been removed. WOLF STORIES UNTRUE. Animals Do Not Attack Human Be- ings, Sport Writer Asserts. When asked recently if wolves de- your people, the trapping editor of | Sportsman's Digest had the following o say: “No, only in the imagination of writers and others who know nothing of the subject. The writer has spent some time with trappers in the ‘wolf country,’ and questioning the old trappers, they laugh and say they only wished that it was true that wolves did attack people. Explain- ing a litde more, they sald that if Auch were true they would soon be- come much richer than they are. “Wolves are destructive to deer and srost states pay liberal bounty, and the old traprers who are crack shots say that they wish wolves would at- tack them—they would reap a bounty off the scaips. The above holds true in various states where I have had the privilege to spend days and nights ~vith the ‘oid-time trappers,’ who know ,merchant seemed to what they are saying.” Mute Quarrelers Divorce. ‘'he odd story of how deaf mutes quarrel with one another and indulge fn mutual Insults through the medi- um of sign language fust has been adumbrated in a Parls court, says the New York Tribune. A deaf-mute wife was suing her deaf-mute husband for divorce on grouhds of brutality, and it was from the evidence which the wife produced that Frenchmen first became aware dumb people can be just as mean as can their more fortunately endowed brethren. 1t might easily provide a new plot for Anatole France, who wrote about a husband who was not dumb and married a dumb wife. Here neither of the two participants in the do- mestic tragedy could speak except through their hands, and yet, accord- ing to the interpreter who was called into the case, the husband, by quirk-} ing his thumb and forefinger in a! curious way conveyed most insulting and brutal phrases to his wife. 1t seems that within the sign lan- guage there has grown up a whole vocabulary of abusive words, though meaning nothing whatsoever to per- ons endowed with speech, and they constitute among the deaf mutes val- id_cause for divorce. Then, too, the wife testified, through her interpreter, that often- times, when she had been engaged in an animated conversation with her | husband in the evening, he would get | up and switch off the light, making it impossible for her to talk any more. The divorce was granted.

BERLIN, January 25.—All wild ani- mals have a language: of their own, and the only persons who can traln and hapdle the beasts successfully are men and women who have learned their language and give it constant study. ‘Such is the opinion of Otto Sefler-Jackson, who has just com- Dleted twenty-five years of service as a trainer of man-eating animals and 1s now exhibiting his educated tigers in a Berlin circus. Seller-Jackson was born in a circus wagon and began training wild ani- mals when he was thirteen years old. His parents had a traveling menagerie and both were trainers. He passed his boyhood In circus trains wander- ing throughout Europe, so wild ani- mals have been his iifelong com- panions. In Jungle Eight Years. At thirteen he entered the Hagen- back School, in Hamburg. Then he went to Indla with Lord George Saenger and remained in the jungle for eight years, hunting tigers and ‘elephants and trapping them for for- eign zoological gardens. He later jolned Bostock, the menagerie king, in England, and after short service there became-an important member of President Roosevelt's second ex- pedition to Africa. Sefler-Jackson s married to Bour- bonnel, a popular woman clown, and they have been connected with vari- ous circuses in central Europe since the tiger-trainer returned from Africa. “There are really no secrets about Inspiration for Jack. From Everybody's Magazine. A salesman who was determined to sell a blll of goods to a shrewd old Yorkshire merchant had talked In his hardest, most eloquent and persuasive way for nearly an hour. Finally the be convinced that the line was just what he want- ed, and the traveler felt amply re- paid for his extra effort. But the Yorkshire man added, reflectively: “There's ma lad Jack. Ah'd lzike him to hear what ye have to say. Will ye coom this evenin' an’ go over your talk again?” The traveler gladly assented to the gronosltlon. and at the appointed our presented himself again for the interview with father and son. Again he went over the forceful seiling points of his line. Never had he put forth a more persuasive argument or a finer selling talk. When he had finished the old man turned to his son_most enthusiastically and said: “Do ‘you hear that, Jack? Well, now, that's the way I want Ye to sell our goods on the road. Disappointed.

It soon becomes possible to tell at a glance exactly what their mood and what every little grunt and growl means. 1 can read the inten- tions of a tiger in its eyes. I know whether he has aches and pains and whether he is in an ill temper. I can tell at a glance whether I dare attempt to kiss him on the moustache or whether I must approach him with 2 weapon. First Means of Impressing Amimal. “Raising one's voice is the first means of, impressing an animal. A tiger knows from the tone and vol- ume of his trainer's volce whether he \s expected to obey promptly. And. of course, one must keep tigers going all the time. It never does to let them stand still. Tigers are always think- ing about how they can get the better of their trainer, and, of course, one must not let them have any lelsure for thought and must keep them guessing by standinz in a different place each day when handling them and by conducting one's self in a dif- ferent manner. Varlety of action baf- flés them.” Setler-Jackson says he Is confident that the wild animals he handles love him. But, nevertheless, he says they are animals of prey and it fe their na- ture to tear man and beast to pieces. So one cannot blame them for béing hard to handle and must not rely on anything which is foreign to their natural instinct. £ Yeeding tigers is a pretty hard job in the Berlin of today because of the shortage of the meat supply and the PXH’!le¥ high prices. His OF Day. From Londons Answers. Bobby was of an inquiring turn of mind, but mother usually managed to answer his questions. *“Why doés daddy go to town every day?” he asked on one occasion. ‘o work, so that you and I can have good dinners,” mother replied promptly. Next day, as Bobby sat down to dinner, he looked disparagingly at the fare provided, then turned an accus- ing eye on father, - u dign't do much today, did he remarked.

STRICT CASTE RULES IN SCHOOLS OF INDIA From the Saturday Evening Post. The_ children of Indla are mot per- mitted to enjoy anything that remotely resembles free assoclation. There are a_great many public schools, but the children who attend them_ are caste equals or they are held to the strict observance of caste regulations. The children of the depressed classes are not allowed to enter anywhere. Yet in one way, and as far as the advan- tages go, the depressed classes enjoy better educational advantages than any class in India, because it is to them that the Christian missionaries devote their particular attention. The communities and castes are all mixed up in the general population, and are not, except in occasional instances, domiclled en masse in separate areas. A Hindu and a Mohammedan may live in_adjoining houses. The castes and comimunities may all enjoy a certaln measure of soclal inter- course. They may meet together and talk, but it must all be in the open or in places of public assembly. Chocolate Drink in 1690. From the Antiguarian. Chocolate was more of a luxury than tea or coffec. It was used in court circles toward the end of the seventeenth century, but was very expensive, and seldom found in the crdinary louse. Chocolate pots, there- fore, very rarely appcar in Europewn inventories in the seventeenth cen- utry. Consequently, “a silver joco- ato pot,” listed in the inventory of Villlam Pleay of New Amsterdam in 1€90, shcws that chocolate was known in this country as early as it was in Europe.
