JUDGE FROWNS ON PASTOR.
New Westminster, Dec. 16-
Mr. Justice Morrison yesterday
morning administered a rebuke
to Rev. Dr. H. W. Fraser because
the latter had commented in a
sermon last evening on the riot
cases now before the special assize, some disposed of and some
not reached by the jury.
His lordship's remarks came
without previous notice when
Mr. A. D. Taylor, counsel for
the crown, made an application
to have tho jury in the South
Wellington cases, which were
started this morning, kept in
confinment during the course of
the trial. Mr. Taylor said that
there had been an attempt to
tamper with the last jury.
Mr. J. Edward Bird, council
for the defence, in the course ol
of a dignified reply, denied thai
his clients had done anything ti*
attempt to influence any juryman. He referred to a recent
speech of Gosden in .the Horse
Show Building in Vancouver, ii
which warning was given ti
cabinet ministers to be careful
that poison was not administered
to them.
"All union men deplore the
making of those statements, "said
Mr. Bird emphatically.
His lordship agreed to allow
the jury to be kept in custodj
and smilmgly assured the twelve
men that the sheriff had promised to look after them in the verj
best possible manner. The court
however, declined to order intc
custody the ten accused mil
who are out on bail.
Continuing, his lordship sairi
that he regretted that ar Vancouver morning paper had published
the report of a sensational sermon by Rev. Dr. Fraser. dealini
with the strike, the riot, etc,
The court disapproved of tht
practise of trying cases by public discourse before they had beer
heard by the courts. Several of
the cases had not yet been before
the judge and jury, and it was
not only unfair to comment upon
the matters involved, but it was
destihctly against the law to dc
so. It was unfortunate that the
spokesman of a prominent churct
had dealt with matters of the
gravest importance in this way.
J'Dr. Fraser happens to be a
pastor in my own church," Justice Horrison continued. Before
making such statements one
should get the absolute truth of
so grave a situation as that which
exists in British Columbia. I cannot conceive of a more serious act
than to start a campaign causing jurymen to neglect their
sworn duty. If Dr. Fraser's statements are correct, then a very
serious state of affairs exists
here.
CHALLANGE TO DR. FRASER.
The Nanaimo Daily Herald, of
which Mr. J.S.H. Matson of
Victoria is the proprietor, has
ient the following telegram tt
The Province for publication:
"The Daily Herald of Nanaimo
ihallenges the Rev. Dr. Fraser
if Vancouver to make good the
several statements he is reported
to have made in his sermon on
Sunday evening, as reported' in
he Vancouver Sun on Monday,
Dec. 15, in reference to the strike
if coal miners in Nanaimo and
:he subsequent arrest of the
nen charged with rioting, the
same tn be debated in a
leries of articles published in
my daily newspaper of Van-
•ouver that the Rev. Dr. Fraser
nay select."
Dr. Fraser has declined the
nvitation saying he did not care
to enter into any further discussion of the strike. He had taken
the notorious Hedley pamphlet

PIOUS ASSERTIONS.
The Socialist Mayor of Cumberland is again in the field, asking for reelection. His election
card makes very pretty reading
but it fails to ring true. After
throwing a few honeyed words
to the wage-earners, very flattering to their vanity, the Mayor
proceeds to state that "thestrict-
est economy will 'continue' to
have his closest attention."
"Continue" is good. We suppose
he means hy this that illegal
taxes will "continue" to be exacted from the taxpayers, and
that the city funds will "continue" to be disbursed among the
lawyers in an endeavour to force
payment of these illegal exactions. The next clause in Mayor
Campbell's ticket is very good
and indicates an unexpected degree of magnanimity. We are
informed that local improvements
of an expensive character will be
proceeded with when the local
property owners, to be benefited
thereby, desire them and are at
Lhe same time prepared to bear
the cost," Now under these
conditions we wonder how our
enlightened Mayor is going to do
other than proceed with them.
Under the conditions named it
would manifestly be his duty to
proceetl with them, we fail to
see why he should use this opportunity to pat himself on the back
for doing what the majority of
men would as a matter of course.
I'he succeeding clause is an announcement that he will raise
money for general improvements
on the credit of the municipality.
We admire the Mayor's sanguine
temperament, but we cannot help
feeling that he and his satellites
have done their best during the
past year to shatter what little
credit the city ever possessed.
Perhaps he is unaware of this,
and yet it is very significent that
Mayor Campbell is appealing to
the electorate on almost every
either ground except his past
record. Surely his silence on this
point is not accidental?

the rear of the post office on

He was married! This was his lawful wife! Ho gazed round tie luxuriously furnished room—his home—hlB

of the room was entirely feminine; nothing to suggest that a man ever used
or occupied it. Daily, hourly, Ilelh-

parts and he had come t the conclusion that the most Important of all
was llie part of spy.
A private detective who shadow

And Hetherlngton the private detective asked Sir George lletherington

been running this London establishment, when and where he had met the
present Lady Hetherlngton and how

Was he a father? Hal children been

cigarettes.
It's unfortunate we both hav i such
bad memories, Isn't lt? He was fencing Cleverly, leading up to the crlcis
which he know couldn't be avoided.
Sooner or later he would have to tell
her that his mind was a blank, that
he bad no memory of tie past, no
knowledge of her and—most bitter
confession to make to a woman and a
wife—no love for her. It would have
been easier had she been more ordinary, had she been of geMle English
birth. But beneath the grace and
languor and soft femininity of this
woman there lnrked the tigress.
If she loved him, he kite Carmen
would fight for his love tooth and nail,
would fight for all tie rights law and
lite and nature gave her, and if she
knew sho had a rival in his heart—
Hethcrington dared not pursin his
train of thoughts. Peggy Mehon was
lost to him! Lot the brief dream
of happiness ln a new life, of a .ome
among tie moorlands, of children who
would beat his name and in the future
perhaps bring lt fame and honor. He
would see Peggy once again; right or
wrong he would have to do that. And
he would tell her tie whole truth; tho
story ot his miserable home-coming
trom the moment he had awakened to
consciousness on tho moo. land road
above Cranby Hall; tlie visit of the
man Bister that same evening, the accusation of murder and his tacit acknowledgement of the crime by succumbing to blackmail. She might not
believe that his conscience was clean
of crime; he begat to despise himself for aavinE held his tongue and
played tie jart of coward—even criminal. Well, Peggy should know and
she—the woman he loved better than
lite — Bhould Judge hiin, and if she
•fhose to speak and he were tried and
condemned for a crime of which he
had no knowledge of committing, he
would pay the penalty. He laughed
at the thought. He would not much
care now. Death would he easier
than lift; it would need all his pluck
to cll'ig to the ltttei and none at all
to fling himself once again into tho
unknown. Perhaps t'eath alone held
tie key to the horrid mystery which
surrounded him.' Death—and perhaps this woman his wife.
She had curled herself .p on the
chesterfield beside his chair—a mass
ot purple cushions— disclosing and
hiding her snakelike supple body. He
became conscious rhat her eyes were
fixed on him as though trying to read
his thoughts; ho fancied he saw many
emotions surging up from their dep' s
and among them expectation and curiosity; on her scark lips a little smile
of amused contempt.
You are uot verj entertaining,
( orge. And you ure not very affectionate. We are not going to quarrel
all over again, are wc? I thought, I
hoped that all that sort uf thing was
past and over now that Oscar Soral
is out of the way.
She had come to the point with
startling suddenness. It seemed indeed as though Carmen had read his
thoughts.
lletheiinglon was unprepared; he
had no reply ready. Who told you
that Oscar Soral was out of the way?
Carmen waited a moment before replying. She saw that Hetherlngton
was embarrassed and she seemed to
be enjoying lhe situation. He told
nn so himself.
Hetherlngton Jumped lo his feet, but
with an effort recovered his composure
quickly, Carmen was as Ignorant as
lie as to what had transpired on the
fritnl night of his return to Cranby
Hi'iherinulpn's self confidence returned. She knew rvhat had happened
before his journey to the moorlands;
he knew what had happened after his
his arrival there, lint neither ot
them really knew what had passed between him and Oscar Soral during the
short unknown space of time which
linked the past and present together,
lt Is probable that If Hetherlngton
had been free and this woman had
hern anything In tils world to hlra but
his wife, he would have been unable
to restrain his impatience, but flinging
himself upon her mercy, would have
I rusted her and told her then and there
of the ghastly dilir.ima in which he
found himself* He realized the bitter
irony of the fact that Carmen was
his wife and he could not trust her!

A SOARING SKYSCRAPER
Six Stories Without Foundation
" Unique Departure In Building
In New York one of the most unique
departures in building construction ever attempted ia Is progress. The
twelve story building of tie Consolidated Gas Company now being erected
at Fifteenth street and Irving place
has six stories that are practically
soaring In midair without foundation.
The Engineering News explains the
phenomenon as follows;
As the old building ls not strong
enough to bear this additional weight
lt was decided to suspend six of the
aeven additional stories from heavy
girders, the girders tiemselves being supported on steel columns 250
feet high, reaching to tie ground,
alongside the old building. Tic seventh additional story rests on tie
girders.
The largest girders are slxty-thre;
feet long, eight fees, deep, and weigh
forty tons each. They are nt an cle-
vatioE of 250 feet above Fifteenth
street. The eight girders, having a
total weight of 300 tons were conveyed
to the foot of East Fiftee.-.th street on
one lighter. Th.*/ wero carried singly from tiere to tie job on trucks of
special constructloi each drawn by
tilrty-four horses. The truck wheels
were of steel and had eighteen-inch
treads. The girder were unloaded
from tie trucks and placed upon the
street by means of a large jteel stiff-
leg derrick with a seventy-foot boom,
Installed on '.he nlneteen'.'i floor of
the new building. The girders were
lifted one at a time, by this same
derrick and placed in their -espective
positions. The actual hoisting and
placing of the girders required twelve
Lours, distributed ever Aug. 1 to 3;
the last girder, weighing forty tons,
being lifted and placed in twelve minutes.
The uplift at tie outer end*, of the
derrick sills was taket by steel
beams and ono and one-fourlh-incli
Bteel cables, tie latter carried down
five stories- and there attached to the
columns at their intersection with tie
floor girders. In addition, nine adjacent panels ot the building structure were diagonally braced ln both
directions with steel cablet, to resist
all tendency toward racking bhe building horizontally. No vibration was
detected when tie girders were set
in place.
To Develop Zinc Mines
After listening to statements hy
members of tie Board of Trade and
mining men of the district, in which
the necessity for tie continuation by
tho Dominior Goveriment ot experiments in tie treatment ot complex
zinc ores and for the appointment of
a royal commission to make a thorough investigation into tbe requirements of the mining Industry was urged, Hon. Louis Coderre, Secretary of
State and Minister of Mines, has despatched Dr. Eugene Haanel, director
of tie Federal Department of Mines,
instructions to authorize E. Dldolph to
proceed at once with tic work at the
zinc plant in Falrvlew. Expenses of
the work will be covered by .,30.000,
which remains of the grant of $50,000
originally made for the purpose of experiments in methods of treating zinc
ores.

The method cf cooking a hedgehog
Is so simple that a novice can learn In
one short lesson. When the cpici
ls permitted to mak< a tmoice he
should shun the large old males,
which at times weigh thirty or forty
po'inds. The preparation consists ln
removing the ,'isceta, washing out the
interior and filling tie cavity with
slices of f* 1 pork, peeled raw potatoes,
sprigs ot sptarmint and wild celery
from tie rook.
Then, without removing tha quills or
skinning, the body ls plastered thickly
with wet clay from the nearest bank.
Tbt* muddy, bulky mass is thrust into
live coals and covered witj blazing
fagots to be roaster" for two hours.
On removal from tie coals, the clay
Is found to have been baked Into a
hard solid mass, which must be
broken open with an ax or a beavy
stone, whereupon the skin and quills
of the animal cling to the ..lay wrapping and fall away, leaviny the clean
white meat ready to be eaten.
A Statesman
At a meeting of a woman suffrage
organization in Kansas City. Kan., it
was suggested that tbe members talk
to their servants and other women
workers with a viev to forming an
estimate as to tie strength of suffrage sentiment ln that particular locality. One member, wbo bas employed the same washe-woman for the
last six years, reported that she put
the question to this worthy lady.
Aro you ln favor of votej for women? the suffrage womat asked.
I don't pay attention to politics, the
washerwoman replied, I leave all
that to my husband
Well, bow does your husband stand
on woman suffrage'
He don't utand at all. Ho believes
ln women staying at home and ttind-
Ing their own business.
How many families do you wash

Six.
And what does your husband do.
Mary?
He ain't doing anything right now—

DOCTORS CONDEMN
OILYLINIMENTS
Public are Warned Against Strong
Smelling. Oily Liniments Containing Harmful Acids and Amonla
Many people have clung to the old-
fashioned idea that a thick, greasy
liniment is the best kind. DoctorB
say not—and they know.
Recently a number of theso white,
oily liniments ero analyzed and they
were found to contain an enormously
high percentage of harmful acids, and
such iriitat.uo chemicals as amonla,
etc. For the moment they may cause
a warm sensation when firs; applied,
bnt their continued use never cures
rheumatism, and only deteriorates the
skin, sets up inflanv atlon, and
causes endless trouble.
When the doctor warns you to quit
using a white, oily liniment—do so.
He knows that a thick liniment can't
penetrate, can't sink through the
pores and reach the seat ot the pain.
When asked his opinion a few days
ago, an important physician stated
that he considered a strong, penetrating pain-subduing liniment, such as
"iVervillne," to be superior to any of
the white ammor.Ii. liniment.. In his
twenty-five years *-f practice he had
witnessed cases of rheumatism, sciatica, and lumbago that simply would
not respond to ordinary treatment—
but Nerviline cured them. The Bame
physician ulso spoke of tho great advantages of keeping a prep.- atlon like
Nerviline in the house, because of
cramps, diarrl.oea, stomach disorders,
earache, toothache, headache, and
such minor ailments. Nerviline Is a
first-class euro. There is scarcely
an ache or a pain, internal or external, that Nerviline won't cure. In
thousands of homes no other paln-rc-
Ileylng medicine is used. Fifty years'
continued success nd the endorsement of the profession are proof thnt
Nervilinr is tho liuimint for the
home.
A FAMOUS WOMAN DETECTIVE
Mrs. Goodwin ef the New York Police
a Real Sherlock Holme:
In the Woman's Homo Companion
appears the following account of Mrs.
Isabella Goodwin, tbe famous detective ln New Tork city ln connection
wltb the police department:
Here ls a real Sb flock Holmes who
has been instrumental In the capture
of hundreds ot lawbreakers without
smoking a single pipeful o. tobacco.
She ia Mrs. Isabella Goodwin, police
matron, recently promoted to detecUve
of the first gradV on the New York
city force wltb a salary of 12,250 a
year ln recognition of her services ln
procuring the capture ot tbe taxlcab
bandits, whose reckless exploit! bad
startled tbe city. Mrs. Godwin la a
widow, forty-serin years old, tbe mother of three children, and her home
life Is u peacefully busy as tbat ot
any village housekeeper. Since tho
death ot ber hushani, a roundsman on
the police force, fifteen years ago, until ber recent .iromotion Mrs. Goodwin
served as a police matron incidentally
exercising her gifts aa a detective ln
quietly gathering ovidennr against
hundreds ot dangerous frauds and
quacks.
Her elder son Is a detective of tbe
flrst grade, her sister is a department
store detective, and her daughter also
has already manifested ability ln detective work. When tbe taxlcab bandits after robbing .wo bank messengers of $25,000, had seemingly baffled
the police Mrs. Goodwin w_s enlisted
ln the caso. By impersonating the
sister* oi the landlady ot a boarding
houso frequented by friends ot the
robbers she was enabled gradually to
pick up information that was invaluable to the authorities in running
down the criminals. It was this case
that won her promotion and official
standing as a detective, y through
her fifteen years of service she had already done an enormor..., amount ot
even more valuable though less sensational work in obtaining evidence
against over 500 dang.rous swindlers
—astrologers, palmists, fortune tellers
and crystal gazers, psychics, trance
mediums, Hindu magicians, quack doctors and surgeons and others that In
the largo cities prey upon foolish people, almost unmolested because of the
difficulty of proving that they actually
violate the law.

It was the breaking ot a teapot in

John Flayter, grandfathe.- of John
h. and Albert Flayter of North River
dale, lived at tbe time of tbe American occupation ot York, on the east
bank of the River Don. After the
evacuation of Yjrk by tlie British
troops thj American commander
learned that John Flayter had the
custody of some valuable documents
and a largo quantity of silver money.
Plrryter buied the treasure lett ln
hiB charge.
An officer and some rmen were detailed by the commuidor to go to the
Flayter homo and take charge of
these valuables. They found Mrs.
Playter engaged in preparing the supper. The men demanded to know the
hiding-place of the treasures. Mrs.
Flayter remained client and persistently refused to divulge -Jie spot
where they wero buried.
In a moment of rage tLe officer

When a street was cut close to the

Ellerbeck, after the maiden name of
the woman whose firmness had defeated a detail ot soldiers one hundred years before.

A Merry Christmas to the Readers of The Islander.
T-HE names chosen at the meeting of the Cumberland City-
Voters' League for nomination as mayor and aldermen, respectively, are a strong aggregation and should make a most
useful and effective Council. With the exception of Mr.
John Brown all the men selected have served in the Council
Chamber in former years, two of them being ex-mayor. The
affairs of our town-thanks to the present incompetent administration-are in sad shape and the need of experienced
heads is painfully apparent.
Messrs. Thos. E, Bate, D. R. McDonald, W. Wesley
Willard, Thos. E. Banks, N. McFadyen, Charles J. Parnham
and John Brown are to be commended for their public spirit
and unselfishness in permitting themselves to be nominated,
and we sincerely trust the electorate will realize the city's
present need and confide its destinies to these tried men,
whose names stand for all that is progressive and sound in
its past history.
FOR MAYOR
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :—
I have the honor to present myself as a candidate for
Mayor at the forthcoming election.
For seven years I devoted my time and energy serving
your interests as an Alderman, and assure you, that should
I be your choice as Mayor, I will devote my time and energy
in a conscientious manner for the advancement and welfare
of the Municipality.
Yours Sincerely,
THOMAS E BATE
-«■•♦-
THE season of especial goodwill and fellowship towards
our neighbours is close upon us, but it is not yet too late to
ask for consideration towards tne long suffering shop assistant and the hardworking delivery man. Christmas shopping
is an annual event looked forward to by most of us, but we
are afraid that we have often been selfish in that we have
thoughtlessly delayed making our purchases until Christmas
Eve. In the cities a movement is always initiated to get {'..*_•
public to do their shopping as early as possible, and the idea
is both businesslike and humane. It works to the advantage
both of the public and the shop assistant. It ensures
greater attention to one's orders and a greater probability of
being able to purchase what is desired, as supplies frequently become exhausted before the demand. And above
all it gives the shop assistant a chance of enjoying his or her
Christmas Day. Store hours are always prolonged during
Christmas week and if the shop assistants are worked to
death on Christmas Eve, the day of Peace and Goodwill
towards Men is apt to be spent in recuperating exhausted
energies rather than in the solid enjoyment, happiness and
merry times we are wont to associate with Christmas Day.
Let everyone in Cumberland do their shopping early and give
the shop assistants a chance. They deserve it.
THE Court of Revision has now held its sessions for revising the municipal voters' list and it will perhaps be concluded
that the inclusion of of one's name in the revised list confers
the right to vote. Ordinarily this might be so, although not
necessiarily. In the present instant, however, we are far
from satisfied with some of the decisions given by the Court
of Revision, which in our opinion were often unjustifiable.
We can see no ambiguity in the words " continuous residence " neither is it difficult to determine what constitutes
" British Citizenship." We .are persuaded that many names
are included on the list that have no legal right to be there,
and it is our fixed intention lo challenge each and every
party attempting to exercise the franchise, of whose right to
vote we have our doubts. In such cases we shall ask for the
oath to be administered and, if perjury is committed, we shall
in the public interest invoke the ait! of the law to its utmost
extent.
This is plain talk but some of the transactions at the
Court of Revision were so rank that silence ceases to be a |
virtue.

Old Room at C.P.R. offices In Men-
treat to be Reconstructed
Tte old room at tbe Canadian Pacific, offices it. Montreal, in which Sir
William Van Ilorno as, successively,
manager and prtskleLt, tat and pored
over the map of Canada and drew hi*
plans, and thought rut great undertakings, is being knocked out of all re*
mcmberable shape of its former self to
correspond with the grea'. scheme of
reconstruction.
In this room Sir William used to
receive his visitors, varied as to importance nnd dittin .ion.
Tho great ones of the earth have
foregathered in th, old room which
has almost an historic significance.
Mon like Sir Henry Irving, MnT.hew

of Connaught and many others belonging to lhe old world aristocracies and

room where Sir William, getting down
the maps before him, used to evolve
his policies of ox'ennlon and consolidation—when ha had time to think of
mora general things than the paying
rrf the wages—in the eat'.y days.
Some of the older officials, who re-
motulrer the room so well, and the
many timos Lhey have appeared before
tbo president to discuss large things
with him, as well ift to enjoy the president's epigrams (when he had a moment to sparp for thcml, feel a little
sentimental regret tbat Its glory haa*

Gentle Reminder
It was midnight Tho man had entered tho house as quietly as possible.
His shoes mado some noise. He had
just reached tho door of the bedroom
when ho *"card some one moving in

paused. The sound of a woman's
voico floated to his ?ars.

you come into this house, lt said,
there's going (. bo trouble, and a whole
lot of lt. Here it's been raining for
three hours, and you dare to tramp
over my carpets with your muddy
hoots on! Go downstairs and take
them off this minute!
He went downstairs without a word,
but he didn't take off his boots. Instead ho went straight out into the
night again, and tho pal who was waiting for him saw a tear glisten in his
eye.
I can't rob that house, he said. It

A Forgotten Burns Poem

companion piece ln a recently disotra***
ercd poem by Robert Burns, hitherto
Unpublished, says the New York
World. The Poem waa found ln the
possession ot Mrs. John Moffatt ot St.
Andrews, Scotland, and, as told ln the
preface by tho poet, lt was composed
and presented o the nobleman addressed "upon being called up from
the servants' hall, whero he bad been
sent to dine along with them, to add
to the entertainment of his company.
The poet adds: On presenting which
he put on his hat, turned on his heel
and retired.
There are thirty-one lines ln the
poem, the closing part of which is as
follows:
Among our lordship's hopeful guests
There must be here somo sad mistake
I would not play for such a stake
Be a buffoon for drink and meat.
At a poor earl's tax paid seat!
Ko, die my heart, ere such a shame

A Bridge of Ants
A species or. ants which spin sillt ts
eommon in hot countries. The ants
nest in trees, bindlnt the leaves together' to make their netrts. Tho sill;
used for this purpose is not secreted
by the adult ants, hut by the larvae.
In order to attach tho silken threads
•nd draw the leaver together tho ants
must carry tho larvae about from one
leaf to another. When two distant
leaves aro to be drawn together a remarkable method is employed. Five
or six r.nts form a chain bridging tho
gap between tho leaves In its mandibles. A numbor of such chains will
co-operato in bringing two leaves together.

Why the Burglar laughed
One of the most interesting collections of burglars' tools is that possessed by Canon Horslcy, rector of
St, Peter's, Walworth, England, who
years ago was chaplain at Clerken-
well and Pentonville. A short time
ago he took to a bazaar a big assortment of skeleton keys, jemmies, crowbars, and a photograph of Charles
Peace, once a member of his congregation. The canon is an authority on
burglaries, and tells a good story of
a brrrglar who uneu to carry pieces of
doctored liver for silencing dogs. One
night ho entered a house, saw a (log's
staring eyes in tho hall, and at once
produced tho liver. The animal did
not move and on close inspection the
burglar discovered lhat the dog was
stuffed. Hero is a joke! he thought and
laughod so uproariously tbat the members of tho household awoke and he
was caught.

Education
Education is ultimately tesled by its
power to develop efficiency, knowledge, wisdom and enthusiasm. It
is Important to distingulth between
miscellaneous information and well
organised knowledge. Not how much
but what kind of knowledge does a
man possess is the vital point. Facts
and experience aro valu hie only
when they aro properly related and
raised into general principles. Education today must deal with actual
life, must give the student insight
into natin*'*, man and society. Studios
must be kept In fruitful relation to
the world of experience. Knowledge
is not power until it Is put to solving
problems. Solving these is tho true
test of efflciency

Almost anyone who ban suffered
from appendicitis will assure yon
that this trouble developed only after

Appendicitis can almost Invariably
be prevented, and very frequently

dered an operation, but a thorough
cure was brought about by this great
medicine.
Mrs. J. A. Ballantynt. Sturgeon
Falls, Ont, writes: "My husband
was treated for appendicitis, and the
doctors ordered an operation. But
he would not consent to an operation
and began tiro uso of Dr. Chase's
Kidney-Liver Pills. Since doing so
lie has had no need of an operation,

Canada in the old cowboy days. The
batsman's bat-handle had become unwound, and he hail several times stopped to gather up the slack. But In
making a big hit his bat flew out of
his hands leaving only an end of the
twins round his fingers, the stretched string catching the hails and dragging tbem oft. Hit wicket, was exclaimed, but the umpire preferred tho
formula: Lassoed wicket, and gave
him out at tlrat anrld gr-nt mirth.

tbe last decade bas substantially improved, as offlrrii.1 figures ohew. Learning that the moving picture muchino
was being utilized elsewhere tor agricultural demonstration work, the
officials of the Department have been
studying the possibilities of the cinematograph for the extensicn of their
own work. It is believed that moving pictures work, bo particularly
valuable at the lectures which for
somo time have been an attractive
feature of the farmers' institutes.

*ta unfamiliar to mnny persons wbo
kave never rend Ur. Llvlngstone'a
books. Tho adventure occurred while
he wns living among the Bakntlas, not
tor from the present town of Ma felting This account la from his own
aariallve:
Tbe people of Mabotaa were trou-
Ecd by lions, which leaped Into tbe
ttlo pens by nlgbt and destroyed
elr milk and draft animals. Tbey
men attacked tbe herds boldly by day-
;Bght. and although several expeditions
{•gainst the wild beasts wero planned
I Vie pcoplo bad not tbo courage to early them through successfully.
It Is well known tbat If one ln a
troop of lions is killed tbe others leave
ithnt part of tho country. I therefore
Iwent out wltb tlio people to help them
Itestroy ono ot the marauders. Wa
jfound Iho animals on a small bill covered with trees. The men formed
-found It in a circle and gradually
iClosed up. Being below on tbo plain
Kb a native schoolmaster named Ms-
tnlwe. I saw oue of tbe lions sitting
•n a piece of rock. Mabalwe fired at
tlm. and the ball bit the rock. The
ion bit at tbe spot as a dog docs at a
•tick or stone thrown at bim. nnd tben,
jlni|ilug away, broke tbrougb Ibe clr-
jele and escaped. Tbe Bnkutlas ought
to have speared hlui In his attempt to
'ft out. but they were afraid.
When the circle was reformed we
•aw two other lions tn It, but dared
not lire lest we should aboot some ot
the people. The beasts burst through
the line, and as It was evident tbo men
eould not face their foes we turned
tack toward the village.
i In going round the end of tbe hilt
I saw n Hon sitting on a piece of rock,
■bout thirty yards off, wltb n little
tnsb In front of him. A took good aim
■t him through Ibe bush and Bred botb
barrels.
The men called out. "He Is shot, he
h shot!" Others cried, "Let us go to
tlm I" »
I saw (bo lion's tail erect tn anger
•nd snld, "Stop n little till I load
•gain!" 1 was In the act ot ramming
•Town tbo bullets wben 1 beard •
•bout, and, looking half round, 1 saw
the lion lu tbe act of springing at me.
Ho caught me by tbe shoulder, and
We both csme to the ground together.
Growling horribly, he shook me as a
terrier dog docs a rat The shock produced a stupor llko that felt by •
mouse In tbe grip of tbe cab It caused
• sort of dreaminess, In which there
trail no sense of pain or feeling of ter-
lor, although 1 was qulto conscious ot
•rhnt wns happening. This placidity
h probably produced In all animals
tilled by tbe carnlrora, and, If ao, It la
■ merciful provision of tbe Creator for
lessening the pain of death.
As be had one paw on the back ot
Bry bead, i turned round to relieve my-
•elf . f tbe weight and taw bis eyes
glroetf to Mabalwe. who was aiming
•t blm from n distance of ten or tit-
teen yards. The gun missed lire In
both barrels. Tbe animal Immediately
left me to attack him and bit bis
thigh. Another man, whose life I bad
tared after be had been tossed by a
buffalo, tried to spear tbe Hon, upon
wblch be turned from Mabalwe, and
Seized this fresh foe by tbe shoulder.
At that moment tbe bullets tbe beast
tad received took effect, and he fell
town dead. Tbe whole was tbe work
•f a few moments and must bave
teen his paroxysm of dying rage. In
order to take out tbe charm from him
the llaballot on tbe following day
|vadc n huge bonfire over the carcust,
which wns declared to he tbe largest
ever teen.
Besides crunching the bone Into
•pllntcrt, eleven of bis teeth bad pen-
ttrnred the tipper part of my arm. The
bit*? of a linn resembles a gunshot
around. It Is generally followed by a
great deal of sloughing and discharge,

COURAGE OF NAPOLEON.
Tht Way It Carried Him From Aapern.
Ettling ta Wagrtm.
Professor 1. Holland Itose In "Th*
Personality of Napoleon" wrttea of Napoleon's courage. He aaya that hla
personality "never stood forth ao
grandly aa after a defeat" Tbe moat
serious blow In tbe middle part of hla
career waa tbat dealt him by the Archduke Cbarles at Aapero-Kssllng, north-
east of Vienna. The Austrlans were
nearly double blm In strength. The
bridges over tho Danube had been
broken down tn bis rear. His great
marshal, Lannes, bad been killed, and,
lu fact, be had suffered a terrible reverse. All hla generals were for retreat, but he withstood tbem, and Professor Itose ranks the next alx weeks
"among tba most glorious of his military career." He secured new troops,
deceived his enemy by false movements and finally defeated blm at
vVngram.
But a decline came to sucb a prodigious man. Ho himself aald nt SL
Helena that he bad been spoiled by
auccess. It was natural tbat tbe victor In fifty pitched battles and innumerable entailer engagements should
come to believe himself omniscient
and,Invincible. It wns this hardening
of the mind that betrayed blm Into tbe
Russian campaign, tbat caused blm to
refuse all compromise in 1813 and 1814
and that led him to defeat by bis Inferiors, Wellington ami Blucbcr, at
Waterloo, Just aa Hannibal was finally beaten by bis Inferior, Sclplo, at
Zama.
Putting Traaa to Btd.
An Interesting method of protecting
peach trees from frost during tbo winter bas been practiced for several
years at tbe agricultural experiment
station at Canyon, Colo. Early tn November tbe earth Is removed from a
circle about four feet In diameter
round each tree, and water la turned In
to saturate the soil. Wben the ground
haa become toft tbe tree la worked
back and forth to loosen the roots and
It then pushed over on ltl tide. Tho
branches ire brought togetber and
fastened wltb a cord, and burlap covered wltb earth Is put over tbem.
Thus the treea lie snug until spring,
when the covering tt gradually lout-
encd and finally removed, and they are
raised and propped up.-Kocky Mountain Newt.

Matt Talkative, It la Said, of All ths
British Islanders.
Ia the Welshman the most garrulous
man In the British Isles? The result
of an Impartial test by a London newspaper baa abown tbat for actual talkativeness tbe typical Welshman heads
the list; next in order come Irishmen,
then Scott, and last ot ull tbe Englishman.
Unobtrusively made In a number or
well known London restaurants, club*
and public places, the tests Invariably
gar* the aame results. By means of
a teat watch the following table waa
compiled:
Welthmen—Very talkative, animated
In manner and speaking at an average
rate of 200 worda a minute.
Irishmen—Also very talkative, but
leu animated ln manner; average rate
•f apeecb. 100 worda.
Scotchmen-Far lesa talkative and
deliberate ln manner; apoke at au average rat* of 120 worda.
Englishmen—Almost silent, rarely

worda * minute.
The comparative alienee of tbo men.
tn striking contrast to tbe vivacious
chatter of tbe women folk, was an
naual noticeable. A curious detail waa
tbat dark men were always tbe bigger

A lost will fouud In a celling nt

to take possession of tbo estates to tbo
exclusion of hit daughter and only
child. Sbo tent some of ber terrains
to lock np tbe family mansion, which
tbo bad to giro up, and from some
window shutters tbcre dropped out
upon tbe floor from behind a panel the
mtttlng will, which secured ber all lhe
family estates and property. Why do

Mrs. John Campbell la Nieci of
Gunner's f.'ate on Board Famous
Flagship al Trafalgar and Can
Well Remember His Stories ol th*
Great Sea Fight—Rose High la
His Profession.
She was just a gentle, kindly faced
olri woman who lay and smiled in tho
s.rnshine. "Here's a gentleman to
t-0 you," said her daughter, and a
slim hand came groping out from
beneath tire bedspread, till it met the
fingers ef the stranger and enclosed
them in a grasp, the strength o!
Which was a surprise.
The younger woman stooped b-aaide
the Led. "He wants to speak to you
nb.-'Ut your uncle, w'no was at the
battle of Trafalgar." she explained,
ar' a flush oi pride and pleasure
enine to the wriirkled cheeks ol the
old lady.
, She is Mr?. John Campbell, ar-eil
eighty-two years, and lives with a
married daughter at 15 Bishop street,
Toronto, says a writer in Tbe Torouto
Telegram,
Her utHle, John McMurcliy, of
Mirlreese, in tire Isle of Kilincny. oft
the coast of Argyllshire, waa a gunner's mnte al onrd the Victory nt the
battle or Trafi.l"ar, where an English
fleet of t'.veiity-seven ships defeated
the combined fleets of Trance nnd
.Spain, numbering thirty-three ships
in all. Mrs. Campbell lias been in
this country tor thirty-three years.
She is a widow, who lias been blind
for nearly ball a century. Witli increasing age slight deafness hns coma
upon ber, but her mind is still clear
as to the manner of man ber uncle
was.
"A tall man and strong." she said
when questioned regarding him.
"Last time I saw bim bis face waa
clear and bright as a young man's
should be. He fought the French
for twenty-four years. Aye, twenty-
four years," she mused. "Was 'pressed' when he was nineteen, taken prisoner at bis first tight, and hold in
France for a year; but be made them
pay for that—he made them pay for
that.
"A great and a brave man be was.
Gentlemen came from all o'er tho
country to speak tae him of Nelson
an' the fights wi' the French." She
was losing the preciscness of speech
which marked tier first words. "I
couldna tell ye all tbat was said fol
f*4
mrs. job* cAiirsm,
tome ot the men only spoke Englitn,
an' t'was kin' o' hard on me thot*
days, wts English, for I first learned
the Gaelic—an' I haa it yet," ahs
said proudly.
"But I was tellin' ye about my
Uncle McMurcliy, the grann' man
that he was. '{cared me like * very
daughter, he did, for he had neither
chick nor child ot bis ain. Oft I
hae heard him tell o' that bluidy
battle n' Trafalgar. He waa gunner's
male on the Victory, an' it was hia
crew helped fire the first broadside.
An' I've heard bim tell o' the shot
which felled Nelson, an' how the admiral raised hiniael' up on hit elbow
an' continued gien' orders whiles the
life's blu i ebbed away.
An' 1 mind 1 ,'.j tellin* the gentlemen who came to see him, tbat Nel-
«on truly said, 'Thank God, I ha'
done my duty,' liefore Ire died, to say
naethin' o' words to the effect that
the enemv were beaten.
"He helped carry Nelson below, an'
then went back to the fight, where
the bluid was boilin' in (be men that
served the guns that day, to that
some men were crying, and the wicked among them were swearing terrible things against tbe enemy—an'
they fought, an1 fought, till thev won
the battle. For so my L-.--.le told m«
an' others beside.
"Some brave thing my uncle 'lid
about the tin i of the battle of Trafalgar—I diuna ken just what t'was
now, for he was not the man to talk
o'er much of what things he had done
—led the captain of the chip to say,
'McMurcliy, yo can hae whatever yon
like; name it, an' it will lie given tae
ye,' " she smiled. "An* what do you
suppose he asked for? Why. notlii'C
more or less than tlrst half of hit
pension should be paid to bis wife
after his death. Bhe was much
younger than him, and she lived to
get about thirty pounda a year from
the Government, to say nothing' c'
prize money, an' the like, which had
made my uncle quit* a well-to-do
man."
Her voice began to falter » li'.tie,
but after a moment's pause she weot
on. "Oh, ay, I eome o" gnid stock.
My nncle was as high rank as he
could be when he left the service, an'
all the officert bad a guid word for
him, ior he was a praun fighter an' a
great an' willing worker.". She paused again, then, "Why wouldn't ha
lie?" she said. "All his fowk wero
born beside the tes, or made their
living on it, captains an' sailors, an'
fishermen,, an' a'. But I'll be. bid*
ding yon 'good-bye,' " sire paid suddenly.' "I'm tired wl' talltln', though
it's dorre me a deal n' gootl to speak
to aomeone concerning ray uncle who
fought at Trafalgar, an' inary other
places in tht wars with the Freucb
an' the Spanish." . 1 H II"IWjAINUKH," trUMhKrvljAl-l 1»
