Rough on the Wolves.

the war we used to see a good many pictures of whiskered Rooshian gents razooing over the snowclad plains in sledges drawn by three snorting horses hitched abreast, and flinging' "children; to the ravening, red-mouthed wolves that were pursuing ’em,” musingly said Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. “Last night, while my children- were pulling hair and bumping each other’s heads on the floor, and wife was slapping ’em right and left and I •was"cussing ’em in a genePl way, and such aS that, I sorter got to contemplating that if I was tearing acrost the prairie with my kids in a wagon and the wolves raging around us, if I’d fling five or-six of the children out amongst the varmints them wolves would sure get the surprise of their lives. I reckon in about two minutes the children would be feeling right at home and the wolves howling for help.”—Kansas City Star.
