Chicage Boy Has Half-Grown Animal for a Pet Chicago.—Russell Dyer, of Hyde Park. Chicago, has an odd pet In Force, the half grown wolf cub, who plays with him like a puppy. Force came from the woods near Davis, Ind, where the boy's father, Dr. A. E Dyer, annually shools over the grounds of the Macsorber Hunting club The club dogs seven weeks ago pursued the small fugitive into the club hog pen, and there made him a captive The cub was old enough to “run” alone, but not old enough to have re placed his baby teeth by the long, sharp fangs that pow would render his capture more difficult. Force bitterly resented imprisonment at first And, though he spends most of his time peaceably In or near his kennel, he {3 quite sufficiently frisky to render his young master's daily task giving him exercise no sinecure, while the neighborhood dogs have learned to keep well beyond the length of his chain Foree never tries to bite me, young Russell, who handles his wolf chum precisely as be might a dog, and who hopes to retain his adult love and friendship: "but he'd bite any one else fast enough If he got a chance He really belongs to my brother, but we've adopted each other, somehow, and | feed and take care of him al ways. A tamed wolf, I am told, al ways has to have one person for mas ter, and Force seems to have decided that I'm the one.” It remains to be seen whether Force will be a good playfellow when he Is grown.
