The Coyotes Were Too Cute.

An amusing Incident occurred the other day on the Lemon farm, near Garfield, Wash. Burt Lemon and an employe of the farm were plowing, when they came across three young coyote pups, which had not yet opened their eyes. While they were examining them the old ones appeared, and approached to within fifty yards. Mr. Lemon went to the house f<y a gun and a sack, aud placed the young ones in the sack, which was tied up and left In the field until time to go In from work. The old coyotes kept a respectful distance from the rifle, but hovered agouud. Several turns of the field were made with the plow, and finally, when the men came In sight of where they had left the sack containing the young coyotes, they saw one of the old ones with the sack, puppies and all, streaking It over the hill, and that was the last seen of them.—Spokane (Wash.)
