WOLF’S PURPOSE IN CREATION
Chicagoan Sees in the Use That Can
Be Made of Its Pelt Reason for
Itft Being on Earth.
If the sheep grower had his wish
there would be no wolf in America.
The sheep grower thinks that the
only thing a wolf was made for was
to kill sheep. The wolf must have
some other calling in life or the Good
Book “missed fire” when it said,
“Nothing was made in vain.” “My
opinion of it,” says A. B. Schubert of
Chicago, is, “the wolf is here to give
up the ghost and surrender his hide
to the furrier, who, by the way,
makes good use of the good wolf
pelt, but has but little use for the
poor ones. The European war creat
ed an outlet last year for the low
grades for coat linings for the man
behind the gun and in the trench.
ihe skm is large and requires but
little work; it answered the purpose.
Seventy-five per cent of the best
grades of the wolf pelts collected in
the Northwest are used in Amer
ica. Our manufacturers know better
how to use them and our dyers dye
them better than the Europeans. We
make better and more attractive ar
ticles out of wolf than are produced
elsewhere. The balance of the world
will some day learn the lesson and
I can safely say that the hide of a
midwinter-caught wolf will then
bring a much higher price than the
present one.”
FASHIONABLE CAMP
“And how did you like rough life
in the Adirondacks, Reggy?”
“It wasn’t bad fun. We drank the
champagne out of tincups.”
BRITISH EMPIRE EXTENDED.
Another addition has been made
to the British empire by the annexa
tion of 25 mid western Pacific islands,
the Gilbert and Ellice groups. An
order in council published in a sup
plement to the London Gazette re
cently stated that the annexation has
been made at the express desire of
the natives. There are 16 islands
in the Gilbert group and nine in the
Ellice group. The area is 166 miles
and the population 30,000. These
islands, which were declared British
protectorates in 1892, are coral
atolls. The natives are of Malayo
Polynesian race who have been
friendly to missionaries. The islands
were discovered in 1765 by John
Byron.
