lie With tbo Wolf*
Bunt is a mule. His career lias been
checkered, and Ids life ha3 boeu full of ups
and downs. Ho Is 18 years old. * Ho has ;
long since passed the tlmo in lifo when j
even a mule has a lighting show to be
boautiful.
Yet Hunt is famous, and money cannot j
buy him. He was born in Mississippi and i
when 3 years old joined tho regular urmy, I
going to Fort Bliss, Ter. Ho served five
years there and then was transferred to
Fort Stanton, N. M. When the Thirteenth
regiment moved to Fort Sill, Runt went
with them. Ho served faithfully until
three years ago, when he was retired ns a
veteran. Tho first hard service in the field
that Hunt met was in 1884. In the first
skirmish ho was wounded by his friends.
It was in August. Runt was ono of oight
imiles hauling n wagon of a government
train from Carthage, N. M. t to Fort Stan
ton.* Two companies of the Thirteenth
guarded tho wagons. Twenty miles out of
Carthago tho Apaches attacked tho train.
As tho Apaches circled about, yelling and
firing, Runt got nervous. Finally with a
kick and a squeal ho broko away from hU
harness and galloped straight toward the
Apacbes. The Indians at onco bore down
on Runt to capture him. Tho soldiers
made ready to fire.
‘'Don’t shoot!" yelled ono of them.
“You’ll kill Runt."
“Blazo away!" said Sergeant Ray.
“Ho’s got no bnsiness there." ,
Tho soldiers fired. Tho Indians scatter
ed, leaving Runt alone. Runt hesitated,
and a socond volley poured forth. Ono of
the bullets struck his tall. With a snort
he lowored bis head, planted bis fore feet
firmly and began to kick. He kicked un
til he fell over exhausted. Tho teamsters
then caught him and tied him to ono of
tlte wagons. But his first campaign ruined
Bunt aa a soldier. No matter whore ho
was after that, whether in harness, at tho
feed trough or in pasture, if a gun was
fired Runt would lower his head and kick
until ho fell exhausted.
Runt lost his car 11 mouths ago. Tho
companies at Fort Sill livo far better than
any othors In tho army. Beef is cheap and
game is abundant. Each company has a
party of hunters continually in tho field.
These parties hunt in tho Wichita moun
tains. White wolves are more plentiful
in thoso hills than perhaps In any other
part of America. In fact, elsewhere white
wolves are seldom seen. Tho white wolf,
so called, is of a gray color, much larger
than tho common wolf and for fiercer.
Hunters dread him equally with tho moun
tain panther.
Bunt, of his own accord', joined ono of
the hunting parties going up into tho
mountains. Btovo Shipper, tho most noted
bear hunter In tho Oklahoma country,
was ono of tho hunters. Tho men set
tlieir camp about 23 miles from Fort Sill,
on the Signal raugo. Panthers and wolves
wore 60 plentiful at night that tho men
took turns keeping watch. Tho horses and
mules wore picketed within tho clrclo.
Bunt alono refused to submit to the bai
ter. Ho would back away and threaten to
snap tho picket lino until ho was freed.
At night ho would roam about in the flro's
light, occasionally wandering out into tho
darkness, but returning vory shortly.
Tho fourth day before Christmas two
wagons lots led with gamo were sent to
Fort Sill. In the ovening, after thoy had
gone, Shipper brought in a big buck. It
was decided to have a buck roast. A mon
ster spit wes rigged up, a big firo was
kindled, and soon tho odor of juicy moat,
pioperly cooked, filled tho woods. Tho
panthers, the wolves and the coyotes hur
ried toward it. Aa tho timo passed a cir
cle of wild boasts crouched on tholr
haunches or stole softly about on the edgo
of light, howling, yelping and barking.
Old Runt was in great spirits. Ho cavort
ed about, threatening sevoral times to
kick tho buck into tho fire. As the rich
odor floated forth tho beasts prowling
ai>out bocaino bolder, and occasionally a
coyoto would sneak into tho open space,
only to retreat before a brand of burning
wood. A big wbito wolf, bolder than his
fellows, twice sprang into the circle and
snupped onco at ono of tho horses and onco
at the skin of tho buck. Bunt was walk
ing slowly to and fro in the shadow far
from the fire. Suddenly thorowns a howl,
a snort, and tho white wolf sprang through
the air and lit on Bunt's shoulders. Tho
mulo trembled and squealed. Ho backod
nnd shivered and shook, but ho did not
klok. Tho white wolf sunk his teeth deep
Into Runt’s nock andusod Ids claws, tear
ing the roulo’s flosh. As tho wolf olawod
Runt seemed to beoomo powerless, proba
bly through fear.
Tho hunters crowded around trying to
get a shot at tho wolf. Finally Shippor
seised a big burning stiok and thrust it
over Bunt's neck into the wolf's face.
With a snarl the wolf oponod his jaws. Ho'
clung fast with hia claws, however. As
Shipper thrust forward tho burning wood
a second time the wolf shifted his position
until ho crouched on Bunt's back. This
gave Tom McGrath an opportunity to
shoot him.
"Bangl" went McGrath's rlfls. The
bullet missed. The wolf was untouched.
But with the report a great change took
place in Bunt. From a frightened, help
less animal ho waa transformed into a
fighting, kicking mule. Ho bucked and
kicked and Tollod. Tho hunters were
forced to beat a retreat to tho wagons.
From there they watched the fight. The
wolf held fast, and as Bunt rolled, the
wolf would creep quickly round or loosen
his grasp until tho mule rose again.
At length Hunt in rolling worked tho
wolf back to his hind quarters. Quick as
a flash the old mule sprang to his foot,
lowered bis head and let fly his heels. Ho
caught tho wolf full in tho side. Tho Im
pact of the blow was like tbo crack of a
black snako whip. The clutch of tho frolf
gave WAy, and bo sailed through tho air,
landing in the heart of the Are. Ho sprang
away, but Shipper shot him before he
reached tho outer darkness. The distance
he woe kicked was measured by tho men
and found to be 21 feet. Hunt continued to
kick until bo waa lassoed and hobbled and
tied to ono of the wagons. Tho singed
skin of the white wolf is in Shipper's pos-
pessiou and is ono of the treasures of tho
old hunter. Ho shows it to prove that old
Bunt bested tho wbito wolf. Runt’s left
car, or rather what remains of it, and his
worthless eye bear out Shipper in his story.

RICHEST TOWN IN THE COUNTRY.
(Mil, O n Ic Wealthy, Coataated
aad CcswqMxtlr Happy.
(Special Ooirwpondeuce.]
Pittsburg, Deo. 20.—It was a com
mercial traveler who waa talking, and
the subject of hie remarks was the little
town of Cadis, O.
“There is not another town like it in
the world," he declared, with enthusi
asm. “Its population is only about
1,800, less rather than more, I should
say, but it has four banks with on ag
gregate capital of $390,000 And a sur
plus of $175,000. Mind you, Cadis is
not a suburb of any big city. It is on in
dependent plaoo by itself, not located
on a trunk line railroad and reached
from the outside world only by means
of a short line, of which it is one ter
minus, and the only other station is the
other terminus, Cadis Junction.
"It is years since the plooe has grown
any, for it is not a manufacturing town
—for from it—and the blaok, pall-liko
olonds of smoke that hang over so many
western towns are conspicuous there be
cause of thejr absenoe. In fact, there
may be somo falling off in population,
bat the Cadis people do not worry about
that. They feel contented in the belief
that thoy are secure from financial un
certainty for years to oome, for they
say there is greater por capita wealth
held in Cadiz than in any other town
in tho United States or possibly in the
world. Of oonrse there aro some sum
mer settlements and suburbs no larger
than Cadiz whore there is greater wealth
per capita, bat I doubt if there is a
place of independent existence where
the inhabitants are so uniformly woll
off. And surely there is no great oity
that can show any such general prosper
ity as Cadiz. At least half of the fami
lies are rich, and no ono is actually poor,
dxccpt perhaps some of tho darkios, who
comprise probably one-quarter oi the
population.
"How did-Cadiz como to be so pros
perous? Well, tho town is looatodin the
hoart of the best wool producing region
in the United States. So favorablo are
the conditions for 6heep growing in that
vicinity that it has always boon profit
able there. The Cadizcra aro conserva
tive, temperate and proud of their place
and tho prominent men they have sent
out into tho big world. While I was
tliore I talked with the landlord of tho
hotel a good deal, and he pointed out to
mo tho law offico occupied, whon a
young man, by Edwin M. Stanton, after
ward Lincoln’s secretary, of war. Tho
landlord also informed mo that Congress
man John H. Bingham was originally
from Cadiz, and that Cy Young and
both tho Bill Watsons (father and son)
bogan lifo within tho borders of tho
town. I do not know who Cy Young
and the Bill Watsons aro, but I did not
tell the landlord 60, and ho, mistaking
my look of uncertainty os to their iden
tity for ono of admiration, no doubt,
wound up his enthusiastic catalogue of
the notables Cadiz has furnished to tho
world by pointing out two men that had
just entered.
'“Them fellers,' ho said proudly,
•played in tho band with Buffalo Bill
all summer. Cadiz is little, but somo of
her folks is in it in most everything
worth while on this footstool.' "

EXAMINATION AT YALE.
Ways'That Are Dark and Tricks That Are
Not Always Vain.
(Special Correspondence.]
New Haven, Doo. 20. —Twice a year,
in the early part of Docembor and of
June, a visitor on the Yale oampns may
see, gathered about the steps of old
Alumni hall, a group of students anx
iously awaiting the Btroko of tho hoar.
The regular semiannual examinations
ore about to begin. The old ball frowns
down grim and silent like a feudal cas
tle. Tho studious among the students
stand apart in proud self reliance, dis
cussing Greek roots or mathematical in-
trloaoie8 in a learned way. Questions
fly thick and fast through the rest of
the group. Anxious faces now show on
eagerness- to piok up crumbs of infor
mation which would have made glad
the tutor's henrfc in months gone by.
Borne, too, are dealing out knowledge
with a mysterious and cunning air.
The olook strikes, and the doors are
thrown open. Anxiety seems to van
ish for a moment, and the crowd pushes
forward with cheers.
Once inside the hall, every desk is
soon taken, and all is quiet Tho pro
fessor in charge is seated on a raised
platform, whilo tho watohers pace noiso-
lcssly up and down the aislos. There are
usually five or six of the latter, and their
sharp eyes are everywhere to dotoct any
attempt at dishonesty. The penalties
for such dishonesty are severe—failure
in the examination, suspension or oven
expulsion. In faoe of this it would hard
ly seem that cheating would be attempt
ed or could be carried through under
bo many eyes, yet it is. Many and in
genious devices are used every year and
seldom detectod.
It is an easy matter to conceal a close
ly written slip in the left hand, and
mnoh information can bo carried in that
way, or the palm of the hand itself is
often written upon. Every year, at Yalo
or elsewhere, dates and important facts
aro smuggled into tho hall ou the inside
of the cuff or on the edges of a blotting
pad.
The presenoe of a watch on the desk
dxcites no suspicion, for time is limited,
and therefore precious. But tho circular
piece of paper, parted neatly in tho
cover, is often muoh moro valuable than
time for the successful issue of an exam.
Somo "cribs," as these aids are call
ed, are by no means so simple. One that
has been used sevoral times in New
Haven, to tho writer’s knowledge, was
made of a long strip of paper, about tho
width of a newspaper column, and deft
ly fastened to two match sticks, after
the manner of a papyrus roll. This
txrald be easily worked by the move
ment of the fingers of ono hand and ex
pose only a small portion of tho roll at
.one timo. On one that I saw was a fall
digest of a three months' lecture course.
