Gives TJp In Despair. IHck Bielefeld, the "Wells, Fargo expressman, has given up In despair until yesterday he has been amply able to keep the wolf from the door, but the climax came last night when attending the Wells Fargo express at the Erie, the expressman handed Dick a big heavy box, with all the caution and direction at his command. Dick at first thought he was getting some infernal machine, and has decided this morning that it was an infernal machine all right, but not the kind he thought it was. The box was shipped from Oklahoma, and consigned to the Ripley menagerie. a small concern that is traveling the smaller towns around here, and Dick realizing that there was no Ripley concern in town, took the box up to his office for the evening. He noticed a bad odor, arising from the box when he took it out of the car, and also noticed the look of relief and amusement on the face of the wily expressman, and pedestrians around the square also noticed that the doors and windows were wide open to the express office last evening. Dick having several crates of eggs, a case of limbaurger cheese and a box of canned goods in the office, decided that the whole consignment would spoil if he Heft the box in the office over night, so 'he proceeded to investigate the con- : tents. He knew there was something alive and strong inside from the odor, -but imagine his surprise when he discovered two wolves in the box. Dick '.'3-sn't any ordinary expressman and has 'tackled all kinds of propositions, but

it he wolves were too much. Between

ithe howls of the two hungry coyotes

the could be heard frantically trying to i-fcet their owner over the telephone, but to no avail. What to do with the 1 -wolves and the odor? Dick has had ftlcphants on his hands, in the shape sof town offices, etc., before but he

.never ran up against any of the gray wolves in Crown Foint and the situa-

'um appaled him.

The animals had to be fed, as was

evidenced by their howls and their efforts to get at Dick's calves. Finally

'nick decided to take them home, not

as pets for his children or any thin

like that, but to relieve the public : square of a howling nusiance. He took 'them to his barn, barricaded all the

floors. and fed the hungry brutes

"through the hay shoot, with a pitchfork

'from the second story all last night and

this mornins they are still howling for

more. Dick don't know whether to

send them to the county-farm or ,

himself and let the wolves start eating

his house and lot, for they have con

ceived everything else that was loose

around the place.

This morning, tired out with his night's experience, in guarding that

box of wolves, Dick is petitioning his

neighbors to donate a cow or a nor&e or their flock of chickens, or their po

tato patch or anything that will keep

those two hungry wolves from his Tloor. The only satisfaction Dick is going to get out of the deal is when lie interviews Messrs. Ripley & Co., and lie promises that the above firm will not have the only circus in the coun

try when that great event happens.
