WILL MAKE WOLVES SICK. (From the River Press.) Montana's new scheme for disposing of coyotes and other animals that prey upon stock, by the inoculation route rather than by tihe gun or other or more sudden means, is to be given its test early in the summer under the provisions of the law passed by the recent legislature. By the terms of the new law, Dr. M. E. Knowles, tihe state veterinarian, is to have di rection of the experiments, and he is to select reliable meni in each of the eight great stock counties of the state who shall have charge of the work for their respective counties. Eight coy ote and wolf puppies are to be se cured, and after being inoculated with mange are to be carefully guarded until the arrival of the proper mo ment for their release. When all is ready the official keep er of the coyotes and wolves is to turn the animals out, first, carrying them at least eight miles from the point of confinement. Under the law the animals must be carried in eight different directions and loosed, so that the inoculated ones may be thoroughly distributed about the country.

Invitations were sent out for Saturday, March 25, that being the day on which the young man should have celebrated, but on account of the illness of the young host the af fair was postponed until Saturday. Fifteen little tots, with their mam mas, responded to the invitation, and a happier and more enthusiastic ag gregation of babyhood would be hard to find. The afternoon was most pleasantly spent by the mothers in telling of the peculiar acquirements of their respective babies, and by the babies themselves in demonstrating the truth of the mothers' statements concerning them. A two-minute con test in guessing the combined ages of all the babies present, in months, was won by Mrs. Arthur Johnson. Re freshments were served during the afternoon, consisting of such things as the small ladies and gentlemen could enjoy, as well as more substan tial viands for the older ones. Master Jack was the recipient of many beautiful and useful presents from his youthful friends, all of whom, in departing, wished him many happy returns of the day, or words to that. effect, as interpreted by each one's mamma.
