THE JUDGE
The Disappearanoe of
of Laird's Watch Up
for Discussion
R Patriot) and Mike Towers appeared before Judge Alliums on Thursday
to iliscnss with that gentleman the
mysterious disappearance of Marshal]
Lairds watch.
The case tiga'nst Powers was dropped.
M r Laird called, identified Patrick.
The watch had not I n in bis possesion since Jan. 5th. They bad till boon
drinking and iwo or three companions
went homo with him. He was not
lure of Patrick, hut identified Powers
as one oft lie men wbo accompanied
him.
Powers awn "Ji stated that he was
slightly acquainted wilh Patrick. He
luul gone home with Laird on the evening ol'the 5th. I .ni ids watch was on
the tnlile anil he had taken it off the
table and given it to Patrick for safe
keeping. They were all drunk. He
and Patrick left the house together.
He saw Patrick 2 ur 3 dnys later nml
aske.1 if he had given Laird the watch
yet, and he replied he would do anas
soon as the snow went away. He saw
no scratches ou the in-i.ie of the
case.
C'.nstahle McLellan sworn said:—
He knew Patrick. Laird hud told
him of thc loss of the watch. He
kept ii watch on the pari i.s who hail
gone home with Laird and got a
slight look at the watch in the pus
session of Patrick. He asked him for
the watch on Wednesday night hut
Patrick said he would give it to no
one but Lnird. He said nothing a
bout waiting for the snow to melt, tin-
c.-listable saw the prisoners name
scratched on the watch case.
The Judge said that the fact of tl c
name being scratched on th.1 watch
showed intent of theft' but remanded
the esse until yesterday to allow a
watchmaker to ex min the scratches on
the watch.

CAPTURED BY
WESTERN PICTURES
Th»> Bison Filmi Are
Popular    With
Patrons
AU over the country—for that matter, all over the world—comes an iu
creasing demand fur western plcturel
There it something irretiaiible in tbe
attraction a good western pioture holds
for h. Tiie Bison pictures were the
lirst real wcateru pictures placed upon
-lie market, and they have had many
imitators.
A true western picture, taken in the
real west, with besutiful scenery fur a
back ground, and depicting inspiring
deeds, will continue to please the pub'
lie; but there it a grave danger that
imirationt will effect the popularity of
his line of subjects.
Furthermore, there it a possibility of
moving pioture patrons being turfieted
with too muoh Wettren subjects. There
it no doubt that the excellence of Bison
pictures have bean able thus far to carry
inferior imitations.
Two reels per week of Bison pictures
sre released and are shown at the City
Hall, they are taken in the West with
Westren themes. Many of the scenarios
tre founded upon Indians legends, and
the characters recuited from the tribes
upon the Westren ooat. The riders are
■plendid horsemen, and the leading parts
ire well acted.
There is something of interest and appeal in a real westren subject for sli
iges and classes and they have proven
.;roat attractions and the shreved exhibitor is alwaya careful to see that he
rets the real unadulterated film and that
t is the Bison.

A TALK ON
Citizens Greatly   Exercised Over This
Question
Is Mayor-elect Bate qualified?
This hat been the one tupio of conversation in the oity fur the past ft* daya.
At wUI be remembered thit quettion
wat asked by Mr. Bate't opponents'prim
to eleotion but aa Mr. Bate had documentary evidence which teemed t1 prove thai
he wat, aud at he was alto hacked up bj
legal advioe he decided to remain in tht
field, and the eleotort have uid with ne
uncertain voiee that they believe him tc
be the right man for the petition.
After election Hr. Bate left for Viotoria
to lo.k into the charge that hia propert)
wat not properly registered iu the Keg
istry Office, aud discovered tbat through
some technical error thit had not beon
done, but whether this it tuffioeut to disqualify him when the spirit of tha law hst
being complied with it a quettion thai
it now being investigated by Mr. Bata't
lawyer, aud Mr. Bate is confidant that he
will tit.
Mr. Bate't opponent!, however, not
satisfied with the verdict of the people,
deputed one of their number to go to
Victoria to press the case against tbe
Mayor elect.
They are equally confident that Mr.
Bate in disqualified and quote tht opinion
if a prominent lawyer and of tht Attorney Oeneral in support of thit view.
The Msyor is not bound to be swore
n until three weekt from the Monday
following elec i n, and Mr. Bate hat un
til that time to straighten out tha diffi
culty' if he it uot sworn iu by Iht dati
above mentioned the Mayor's teat becomes vacant and a new eleotion will be

Mrs.Livingston Speaks
at the City
Hall
Mrs. Livingston of Toronto, W. 0. T
17. Lecturer, addressed a fair audience
at tbe City Hall on Tuesday evening on
he Liquor tvU.
Mrs. Livingston is not a Rifted speaker, and hat a voice that it far too weak
for publio tpeaking, but an earnestness
of manner disarms oriticism and
covers a multitude of imperfection in delivery, and her addreii wat listened to
with pleasure aud attention by those
present.
The speaker hu discovered, as hss
almutt evtry othtr intelligent citizen,
that the abuse of the liquor is a grieveout
evil, and even those of us who oannoi
igree that the remedy for thit evil lies in
Prohibition or Local Option, must admit
hat t speaker like Mrs Livingston is s
much more effective temperance advoo
tte than crankt of tbe Spenoerian variety.
At tht conclusion of tht address, the
Rev. Mr Freeman tpoke at tome length
ifcer which the Bev Mr. Laffere made a
tew sensible remsrks.
Mn  Livingston announced that thc
noxt afternoon iha would address a meeting "for ladi t only" in the Presbyter ia
Church, when tha  evils of prostitute.
would be the subji oe ef her discourse.

With open hand that will not oluie
Until a recompense is paid
Tu compensate the toil iu full
Aud did'st thou love to day thy pel
Would cheer the toiler in his light
'Oaiust fearful odds.

i received a poem from a correspondent whi li upon reading I came tu thi
conclusion was not at all bad. It showed that the writer will get over it in

dreamt we will not be responsible for hit

cut down his opium and wake up.

Company might bo callod a history of

•iu<e it was formed back in the seven

Century ago it had no less than one
hundred and sitxy trading-posts ati'l

Cared to bring thoir furs as far back
as I'M mon tun and Prince Albert, begin

Objective point of mnny of the traders
is   Kort   Resolution,  a   post   on   Oreat
Slave Luke, nearly one thousand miles
north of Kdmuntou, as the trail leads,
and  something like four hundred  miles

D'.-i--' northerly post is Fort McPhersou,
Cn  the Peel Kiver, two thousand miles
porlli of Edmonton, and approximately
o>:e hundred and fifty miles above the
Arctic Circle.
Each company of traders takes a
large supply of provisions and goods
for barter, in addition to its own stock
Of food, guns, etc., and the journey in
Covering the thousand miles to Fort
Resolution, or tbo greater distances to
the more remote posts, is one of great
difficulty and hardship. Tho first nine
ty miles out of Edmonton is overland
to Athabasca Landing, on the A Iha
bases River, where flat boats and can
oes are taken and the trip to the fur
Country beginb in earnest, The route
lies downstream a!) the way, since the
Athabasca flows north into Athabasca
Lake, which is connected with Great
Blave Lako by tbe Great, Slave River.
But there are many rapids to be avoid
ed by means of long portages, so that
■ven this part of tho journey is not
tasy.
The traders come back to Edmonton
moru heavily Udon than when tbey
went away. Tho potts obtained by
barter direct from the trappers or co
letted from distant posts are packed
In bales weighing about a hundred or
an pounds each, and landed nn (heir
Canoes and dat boats. Then the fight
against the current sli the way back
to Athabasca Lund ing is commenced.
Tow linen are attached to the bigger
and heavier of the boats, and they are
)d   upstream   by    men    who   walk
too heavy for the best specimens, wh
he trapper must catch iu snares o!
render boughs or in some such way.
Sometimes ho puts a little grease on hi.-
kmitiug knife und lays it across the sue
cesstcn of dots and dashes in the snow
which show un ermine has passed thu
way. Along comes the little white forn
nu its erratic course again, The greosi
ippeals to it, and it begins to lick the
blade of the knife; but, alast thu.
piece of steel is icy cold, and the tiny
red tongue is instantly frozen to it si
tightly ns to render futile all the fran
tic struggling. The knife ia too heavy
lor the little animal to carry awuy
and in his own good time the trappei
comes and finishes his work.
If he manages to take a silver fox
the trapper is in great luck, for tin
pelt of a prime specimen of that ani
•nal is worth fifteen hundred dollar*
to the mun who buys it down at Kd
inonton, aud the very best will briny
the buyer as much ns twenty-five huu
lied dollars. But the trapper gets few
silver foxes, and for theso be receives ti
price much smaller than the figure at
whieh the white trader will eventually
make his sale. The animal of which
the trapper will probably capture most
is the lynx. One firm of traders brought
eight thousand lynx into Edmonton last
summer, and these formed only a part
of the total receipts. Others which are
tnken in large numbers are beavers,
beers, otters, wolverines, minks, martens, musk rats, musk-oxen, fishers,
weasels, and white, rod, black, and
cross fox. TeiiB of thousands are trapped during the course of a season.
The hunter or trapper must carry
traps and supplies into the remotest
regions, where even lumbermen,, are un
known. He builds a low, wide sled
holding three hundred pounds, nnd
loads this with por a, flour, undercloth
ing, and Bteel traps. And when the iei
on streams and lakes will bear his
we-ght he starts into the wilderness,
there to lead a hermit's life for seven
from the nearest habitation, the trapper tries to find two parallel streams
running near each other. Here h
pitches Ins home-camp, setting traps
along both rcvirs. The work of taking
months, Arrived at « point many miles
game from the traps is varied by catching fish, snaring rabbits, and capturing
musk-rats for bait and fond. Nnw and
then the hunter mny kill a wandering
bear—an event which may lend him to
a big store of wild bonny in a hollow
tree. In this utter solitude lives tht-
adventurer, perhaps forgetting the day
of the week nr the month nf the year,
lie fixes tho dato for breaking up camp
and fuming bnck to civilization by thp
condition of the fur on the animals he
takes or by the effects of sunlight on
the snow. Now and then hp will shoot
deer, or even a moose, for the sale
nf the rawhide, meat, and fat, which
latter keeps his traps from rusting.
A file servos him instead of a grindstone to keen uxor and knives keen:
nnd he washes his clothes through a
hole in the ice, drying them by an open
fire. The dazzling lylarp nf February
often brings snow-blindness: and a
month or two later the fast-thinning
fnr on his prpy shows that further work ,

terra firmn, wo bave bo far had very
tew accounts of how it really feels to
lly. lhe mun who runs the machine
hns other things to think about, and
:s not usually a graphic writer. A cor
respondent of the Loudon limes, how
ever, recently took an air trip, being
invited lo go because he weighed 190
pounds. The aviators wero having a
weight-carrying contest. The wind was
blowing about twenty miles an hour,
and the rest of the competitors declined
to take the risk, so tho aviator and ihe
reporter had a ''walkover,'' but not
as tame au most victories of that kind.
We read:
The worst part of such a journey
for the novice is the waiting until
everythit.g is ready for the start. Tho
sensation of anticipation is not unlike
the feelii.g that oue has when one ia

QUEER FIRE TRICES EXPLAINED
I MIU. tricks were practised in very
.     ancient   times.    The   first   known
tire-breather was a Syrian slave
named Kun us, a leader in the servile
war in Sicily, 130 B.C. He pretended
to hnve immediate communication with
the gods. Wheu desirous of inspiring
his followers with courage ho breathed
Hames and sparks from his mouth.
Iu order to accomplish this feat Eu
uus plersed a nutshell at both ends, and,
having filled it with some burning substance, he put it tn his mouth and
breathed through it. Thc same trick is
performed today in a more approved
manner, The performer rolls some flax
or hemp into a ball about the size of
a walnut, which he lots bum until it is
nearly consumed. Then he rolls around
it more flax while it is still burning
liy this means the fire is retained iu the
ball for a long time. He slips tins ball
iuto his mouth uuperceived, and theu
breathes through it. His breath revives
the fire, and he sustains no injury so
long as he inhales only through his nos
trils.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feati of this sort
performed by the ancients, observes
Harper's Weekly. An old ordeal was
thc holding of a red-hot iron by thc
accuued, who was uot burned if he were
innocent. Probably some protective
paste was used on the hands. The peculiar property of mineral salts, such
as alum, iu protecting articles of dress
from fire has long been known. An old
Milanese devised a costume consisting
of a cloth covering for tke body which
had beeu steeped ia alum. A metallic
dress of wire gauze was added to this,
nnd thus protected a man might walk
ou hot iron.
Pire walking it an ancient Oriental
custom, the origin of which is apparently unknown. It still survives in India, .Japan and some of the South Sea
Inlands. . The performance, sometimes
preceded by incantations conducted by
priests and followed by a feast, consists in walking barefoot over a bed
of stones which have been made red
or white hot by fire.
A tribe ou one of the Fiji Islands
was ouce persuaded to give an exhibition, and several Europeans went to
witness it. Oue of them, a Government
meteorologist, carried a thermometer
lhat would register up to fonr hundred
When the guests arrived they found
lundreds of natives assembled. The
oven was twenty-five or thirty feet long
and eight feet broad, and was shaped
like a saucer. The deepest part of the
depression was fifteen feet in length.
The preparations had beeu undertaken
long in advauce to avert any delay,
aud the visitors saw the stoues still
covered with embers.
Walking beside the pit before this
was done, the man with the thermometer recorded a temperature of one hundred and fourteen degiees. After the
stoned were uncovered he hung his instrument ' out over the centre of the
oven, »L ■.' feet above the stones, whereupon the mercury rose to two hundred
and eighty-two degrees. It ia said the
stoues were ''white-hot," and that low
ttaiues from several holes between the
stones could be seen leaping up around
them.
Two of the men who were to walk
across the oven were examined by the
Europeans before their daring act.
They wore garments about the neck aud
waist. Their feet nud legs were entirely bare. The soles of their feet wero
soft and flexible, showing that they had
not been rendered permanently callous
in any way.
In order to detect the presence of
chemicals that might have been applied for the occasion, various tests
wero made.
Finally, at a signal, the seven or
eight natives who took pnrt in the exhibition came down in single file to the
oven aud walked across the Btones from
one end of the pit to the other. They
spent less than half a iniuute there.
Immediately nfter they emerged the
Europeans again inspected their feet,
but could find uo iigu of burning or
blistering.
Several Englishmen have tried this
experiment, uue of them a British re
sident on one of the Society Islands,
lie stated that he felt something re
sembling slight electric shocks, and
that the tingling sensation continued
for hours afterward, but that that was
all. The tender skin of his feet was
uot even hardened by fire. Yet the
stonos were so hot that an hour after
ward green branches thrown on them
caught fire and hlar.ed np.
placed the offending finger in thc hinges
of his table, which was attached to the
cell wall, and violently raised the leaf,
with the result that the finger wae ab
solutely shattered and had to be re
moved."
Another ease, even more remarkable
iu its way, wus that of the notorious
American criminal, iJidwell, who waB
seuteuced to penal servitude for life in
connection with the Bank of Englund
forgeries.
"He was in good health on conviction, but uever did any active work iu
prison. Feigning loss of power in his
legs, he lay in ocd from day to day,
aud from year to year, defying all efforts of persuasion, and resisting all unpleasant coercive measures devised to
make him work. When 1 saw him at
Dartmoor at the end of eight or nine
years of his sentence, long disuse of
his legs had rendered him almost a
cripple. The muscles wero extremely
wasted, and both hip and knee joints
were contracted iu a state of semi
flexion, so that he lay doubled up in
a bundle. - Though he was examined
time after time by experts, uo one succeeded lu discovering auy organic disease, or any cause for bis condition
othor than his owu firmly expressed determination never to do a day's work
for the British Government—a threat
which I believe he ultimately carried
out.''
Probably the biggest cannibal orgy
on record is one of which Miss Beatrice
Grimshaw tells in "Tho New New
Guinea" (Hutchinson), "In 1858 a
shipload of Chinamen was being taken
down to Australia. The vess<4 wub
wrecked upon a reef close to Russel
Island (New Guinea). The officers escaped iu boats, but wore never afterwards heard of. As for the Chinamen,
numbering 326, the natives captured
them, aud put them ou a small barren
island, where they had no food, aud uo
means of getting away. They kept their
prisoners supplied with food from the
mainland, uud every now and then curried away a few of them to eat, until
nit but one old mau had heen devoured.
This ono succeeded eventually iu getting away, uud told something of the
story, which seems to have met with
general disbelief. True it is, however,
on the evidence of the sons of those
who did the deed."
A characteristic story of John Bright
is told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor In her
new book, " 1 Myself." He wns at.
dinner oue night with an M.P: whose
wife by no means shared her husband's
democratic sentiments. John Bright
waB sitting near his hostess, and she
was rather annoyed at having him among her smart guests, and thought to
give him a direct snub, so she said during u pause in the conversation:
"Mr. Bright, this rug, I understand,
wns made by you, ami * am very dissatisfied with it. I have only had it a
short time, and it is very shabby and
badly made,"
'Is itf" said Mr. Bright, getting up
deliberately from the.table and taking
silver candelabrum which he put
down upon the floor and, getting upon
his knees, closely examined the carpet,
"You are quite right," he said, blithely getting up. " It is a bad carpet, and

other in its place." And then he calm-

says one of the company, Kx.iuemelin

lesther, so hard and dry. Unto whom
I only answer; That could they experiment what hunger, or, rather, famine is.
'.hey would certainly find the manner,
by their own necessity, as the pirates
did. First, these took tbe leather and
sliced it in pieces. Then did they beat
it between two stones and rub it, often
dipping it in the water to render it by
these means supple nnd tonder. Lastly,
they scraped off the hair and roasted
or broiled it upon the fire. And being

THE PART PLATED BY CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN FA-
MOUS MURDER TRIALS
'IMIE Crippen trial haB raised once
1 more the much debated question
of capital punishment, garnished
with the usual stock-in-trade of the abolitionists—the uncertainty of circumstantial evidence. And yet, if the question be thoroughly probod, it will be
found that many murderers would escape the just award of the avenging law
if circumstantial evidence were no long
er admissible. Those who premeditate
murder, as a rule, take every precaution
to avoid direct evidence. In the majority of cases the murderer is caught
in the toils of circumstantial evidence
which he alone has supplied. The pieces
of underclothing, the scrap of hair, the
portion of flesh with the scar of an old
abdominal operation—all these might
have boen destroyed by Crippen. Mulder will out. Falsehoods cannot be
woven into the fine unbroken web of
truth, A close examination reveals tin
Haws of the most adept criminal who
seeks to cover his footsteps. The so
called romance of crime lips in the ingenious devices by which the accused
endeavors to throw the sleuth hand uf
justice off the scent. They spin such
a mazy web that they themselves are
caught in its toils.
Who has not heard of theae famous
partners iu crime, whose figures hold a
place of honor in Madame Tnssaud's
chamber of horrors! The thrill of horror with which the public learned of
their gruesome traffic led to the passing
of the Anatomy Act. Here was an organized, dividend-paying partnership,
syndicated for thc supply of corpses to
the unsuspecting anatomists, nnd, ns a
mere incident in the ungodly trade, for
tbe forcible emigration from this world
of many poor waifs and strays, who, despite their helpless despair, clung tenaciously to life. Having selected au easy
and unsuspecting victim, Burke, the
diplomatist and soft spoken benevolent
friend, tracked the quarry to hia lair.
Here his partner smothered the shrieks
of those who protested against *' tIn-
deep damnation of their taking off;"
some, doped with drink aud drugs,
yielding up their spirits without struggle or alarm. The corpse was then sold

They were more valuable in death than
in life. Human wrecks whom no one
wanted brought $50 ea.ch when ready
for the hospital theatre. The very
helplessness and friendliness of tbe
classes preyed on proved to be the
strong card in evading suspicion. No

without auy thought or knowledge of
its gruesome antecedents,
Tho notorious euse of the murderer
George Muilins, is a typical instance of
the lata! tendency of tho criminal to
weave the uoose for his own neck,
.Muilins was a policeman in Ireland and
also iu Euglaud. After leaving the
force he did odd jobs as repairing contractor, and in this capacity did work
for old Mrs. Elmsley, a penurious, auspicious old woman, whose house rente
from tenants brought her iu the comfortable weekly sum of $200. Thc murder of this lonely old woman leaked
out ou n Monday, and straighLly pointed to robbery as the motive. It waa
dourly the work of some one hungering
for the weekly rents which she had collected on the Saturday night. Midline,
the ex policeman, wua the oue being she
trusted, Search proved that the old
miser hud disappointed the hopes of her
murderer, 'lhe money wus afterwarde
found carefully hidden away. No cine
was found to tho murderer. The whole
tragedy seemed wrapped iu impenetrable mystery. A reward of #1,500
was offered, and the greed for money
led Muilins to the scuifold. lle came
forward to claim the reward, informing
the police that tho crime had been
committed by a friend uf his, named
EmtiiB. To the hitter's house Muilins
and tho police went, but uo clue wae
found. Unable to resist the glitter ol
the big reward, Muilins critil: "Yon
haven't half searched; look behind tbat
.-lab there," pointing to it large stone
in the yard. Under ihe slab was found
a parcel containing spoons belonging to
the murdered woman. The parcel wae
tied with a piece of shoemaker's waxed
cord. The eagerness of Muilins and his
indiscretion in locating tne booty led to
hiB arrest along with Emms, the latter was a shoemaker, aud Muling, with
u fur-seeiug cunning that failed him in
the end, hnd deposited the parcel in
his neighbor's yard, and to throw suspicion on uu Innocent man, hud got possession by some means ut a piece ol
waxed cord, wilh which to tie it. He
went to the scaffold protesting to the
last his innocence of the crime.
The mills of Cod ground slowly bnt
surely in the caso of Eugene A nun. He
murdered Uuniel < lurke, the mystery
of whosedisappearauce wus not at the
time unraveled. Time passed, uud the
name of Clarke was forgotten, save by
tbe oldest inhabitants. The lapse of
yenrs brought a sense of security, li
not freedom from remorse, to the murderer, Excavations led to the unearthing of a skeleton which set the memories of the older Inhabitants jogging
backwards to the fatal yeur of the die-
nppeuraiice of Clarke. Ao accomplice
of Aram's, who, like Muilins, unwisely
aired his superior knowledge, stubbornly insisted that tho skeleton was not
thut of Clerke, To buck up his theories ngainst some of tho in habitants, be
pointed out the Bpot where another
skeleton bad beeu found. The second
skeleton was unearthed, and Eugene
Aram was placed on trial for his life,
lle relied, like Crippen, ou the difficulty of identifying the remains, bet
the court and jury showed sound common sense'by sending him to the scaffold.
Anothor crime immortalized in literature wus the murder of his young and
eutitiful bride by John Hcunlon, u dashing young offlcor of twenty-live, of good
family, and a great favorite iu the
highest circles. Staying over at DubHa
on his way home to Limerick, iu the
days of the rumbling end uncertain

niece of a rope-maker (ominous tradel)
rfnmeJ Ellen Connedy. After tbe marriage they went to live at Glln, County
Limerick," Ireland, where, within n fow
weeks after his marriage, Scnnlon determined to get rid of his beautiful wife.
He selected ns his accomplice u servant
mau named Sullivan. Inviting his wife
for a row on the broad waters of the
Kiver Shannon one quiet evening, he
did hod to death, and cast ber body into

story. After a time her dead body wm

his victim so that it would be uurecog*
nizable. Still the identity was estaD-
lishod .»y a sensible jur^r of her cobntry-
men. The case was tried before Huron
Smith, and he, fearing the great family
interest of the accused ordered Scat-
Ion to be hanged forthwith. Ills titled

North America, says Chambers's Journal, doapite tho great, changes which
have occurred ou that continent, on
poeially within tin, laat fifty yoara, by
tho nettling of what wm formerly u
wilderness, The vnlue of tho yearly
fur hunt on sea and land throughout
the world is about five million pounds,
Of this anumnt Canada and Alaska
contribute nearly one-fifth, not because
of tlte large numbor uf skins secured
by lhe hunters, but because bo many
of thfin are rare aud valuable, for we
must remember that tho souls taken in
tbe waters of North America a luu* re
present a very largo mnn each yoar.
The history of tho Hudson's Bay
Company might bo called a history of
tbe American fur industry; because,
■ince it was formed back in the seven
teeuth century, this corporation has
hud ita agcuts and hunters scattered
over an enormous territory, Over a
century ago it had no leas than one
hu lulled aud sitxy trading 'posts and
"factories"—the term factories mean
ing stations in charge of its factors or
bin era. It nut only obtained furs from
nioht of thm part of Canada which is
north and west of tho Great Lakes,
but many thousand pelts were received
from the Pacific North-West—that portion of thu United Btatos comprising
the states of Oregon, Washington, and
Nevada—at that rime almoBt unknown
to the white man. In those daya Win
nlpeg was the head-ceutro of the Hudson's liuyJJompany, too log fort which
It constructed bolng tho foundation of
the present city. No longer is this tho
head centre, for divlUzaticn has crowded the fur-hunter farther aud farther
nnrth, uutil Winnipeg ib only one of
tiie minor stations of the great corporation.
Seven hundred miles to tho northwest uf it is Edmonton, tho largest
Dim ket for "raw ' furs tu the New
World, the capital of Alberta, aud tho
most northern point on the North
American continent to be reached by
a continuous line of railroad. Picturesque yet modern, and an outpost of
empire, Edmonton in tho old days was
an Important settlement in that sec
tion, the extreme north western market
In the fur-country, lt was founded a
century or so ago by the old North
Western Fur Company, for a brief time
a competitor of the Hudson's Bay Com
pa/iy.
Tbe industry is no*- divided into

Who yearly make expeditions into thc
Wilderness, and obtain a "load," often
for a supply of provisions and clothing,

the iee aud auow commence to thaw,
the agents of thc big concerns, the 1'roe
traders and the few trappers who have

as Kdmouton and Prince Albert, begin
to move back to the north couutry. Ibe

Slave Lake, nearly one thousand miles
north of hMmonton, aa thu trail leads,
and something like four hundred mites

pewnyan, on Luke Athabasca is another
important post, also on the edge of the
fnr couutry; and there are a number of
Ioata iu the interior and along the Mac-
euzle River, winch flows from Great
Blavo Lake into the Arctic Hen, The
most, northerly post is Port MePhoraou,
Cn thi* Peel Kiver, two thousand miles
north of Etdmnnton, and approximately
oio hundred and fifty miles above tho
Arctic Circle.
Each company of traders takes a [
large supply of provisions and goods
for barter, in addition to its own stoek
Of food, guns, etc., and the journey In
Covering the thousand miles to Port
Resolution, or tho greater distances to
lhe more remote posts, is one of great1
diflicnlty and hardship. Tho first ninety miles out of Edmonton is overland
to Athabasca Landing, on the Athabasca River, where flat boatB and canoes are taken aud the trip tn the fur*
•ountry begins in earnest. The route
lies downstream all the way, Hince the1
Athabasca flows north into Athabasca I
Lake, which is connected wiih Great]
Bliive Lake by the Great Slave River.
Bnt there are many rapidB to b* avoided by means of long portages, so tbat
•ven  this part of tbo journey is not
too heavy for llie best specimens, whicli

-diver foxes, and foT theso he receives a
price mueh smaller than the figure at
which the white trader will eventually
make his sale. The animal of which
tho trapper will probably capture mosl
is the lynx. One firm of traders brought
eight thousand lynx into Edmonton last
summer, and these funned only a part
of tho total receipts. Others which arc
taken in large numbers are beavers.

weasels, and white, red, black, and

The hunter or trapper must carry
traps and supplies into the remotest
regions, where even lumbermen, are un
known. lie builds a low, wide sled,
holding three hundred pounds, nnd
loads this with pora, flour, undercloth

there to lead a hermit's life for seven

running near each other. Here he
pitches his home-camp, setting trans

months. Arrived at a point many miles
game frr/m the traps is varied by catch
ing fish, snaring rabbits, and capturing
musk-rats for bait and fond. Nnw nnd
then the hunter mny kill s wandering

a big store of wild honey in a hollow
tree. In this utter solitude lives the
adventurer, perhaps forgetting the day
nf tho week or the month of the year.
Tie fixes the dato for breaking up camp
and turning back to civilization by the
condition of the fur on the animals he
takes or by the effects of surPght on
the snow. Now and then he will shr.nl
a deer, or oven a moose, for the sake
of the rawhide, most, and fat. which
latter keeps his traps from rusting.
A file serves Itim instead of n grindstone to keen axes nnd knives keen;
nnd he washes hi» clothes through a

fire. The dazzling rrlnre nf February
often brings snow-blindness: and a

trnps in hollow logs ready for next
season, packs his load nf pelfa on the
wide sled, nnd trudges off through the
forest to the nearest pnst or settlement, On arriving, the trapper sells
his furs.
Whon the trading season In over, the
trappers' go bnck tn their winter hir.t

from October till -Tunc. Here thoy may

QUEER FIRE TRICKS EXPLAINED
IMHl'l tricks were practised ia very
. ancient times. The first known
fire-breather was a Syrian slave
named Kuutis, a lcador in the servile
war in Sicily, 180 B.O. He pretended
tu havo immediate communication with
the gods. Whon desirous of inspiring
his follower* with courage he breathed
flames and sparks from his mouth.
In order tu accomplish this feat Eu
nus pierced a nutshell at both ends, and,
having tilled it with some burning substance, he put it in his mouth and
breathed through it. The same trick is
performed today in a more approved
muniier. The performer rolls some flax
or hemp into a ball about the size of
a walnut, which he lots burn until it ia
nearly consumed. Then ho rolls around
it more flax while it is still burning,
tly this means the fire is retained iu the
ball fur a long time. Ho slips tins ball
iuto his mouth uuperceived, and theu
breathes through it. His breath revives
the fire, and he sustains no injury so
loug hs he inhales ouly through his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feats of this sort
perfunited by the ancients, observes
Harper's Weekly. Au old ordeal waB
the holding of a red-hot iron by the
accused, who wa* uot burned if he were
innocent. Probably some protective
paste was used on the hands. The peculiar property of mineral salts, such
aB alum, iu protecting articles of dress
from fire has long beeu kuowu. An old
Milauese devised a costume consisting
of a cloth covering for the body which
had beeu steeped ia alum. A metallic
dress of wire gauze was added to this,
and thuu protected a man might walk
un hot iron.
Fire walking is an ancient Oriental
ustum, the origiu of which is apparently unknown. It still survives in In-
lia, Japan and some of the South Sea
Islands. . The performance, sometimes
receded by incantations conducted by
priests and followed by a feast, consists in walking barefoot over a bed
post and told his Btory the. price of
the skins was handed over to him with
out question. The accounts of the white
•nan had been carefully kept, and he
was certain that no claim but a just
mio would be made,
NERVE AGONIES
The traders come back to Edmonton
Bioro heavily laden than whon they
went away. Tho pelts obtained by
barter direct from the trappers or collected from distant posts are packed
In balea weighing about a hundred or
f> pounds eaeh, and loaded on their
«n noes and fiat boats. Then the fight
against the current all the wny back
to Athabasca Landing is commenced
Tow linen arc attached to the bigger
and heavier of the boats, and they are
pulled upstri-am by men who walk
tlong the hanks "tracking,'' as it is
Culled. When the portages are reached
th'* boats must Iw unloaded and the
Cargoes and the boats carried past the
rapids. Going down, it is possible to
fr--''; the goods by land and "shoot"
lhe rape's in the empty boat sometimes. Going up, it is unload, carry,
tnd reload from end to end.
But if the men who do this part of
th-' work have a hnrd task, the lot of
th** trapper is in finitely harder. He
must pursue the sources of his livelihood with the utmost cunning, varying
bis methods, from lodging a bullet in
the vitals of a bear or other large animal in such a way as will not injure
the pelt to setting  tho  subtlest   of
emires for such wnry ones ss the little
ermine, only the jet black tail of which
in visible as" it whisks across the blinding snow. The Otmlne is very shy, and
It must be specially dealt with In order
to avoid injury to its delicate skin,

ALL AERVOUS DISEASES CURED
BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
Nerves that are overworked or weak
quickly indicate their distress by pain.
That pain may be neuralgia or Inflamed
nerves, usually affecting the head, hut
ofton the spine and limbs. It may be
nervous dyspepsia, easily started bv
worry, excitement or weakness. It ma\
be St. Vitus dauce, a common affllctioi
among children, or neurasthenia, a con
A it ion of general nervous exhaustion
accompanied by acute melancholy.
Worst of all tiie pain may signal the
early stages of paralysis or nervous dt
cay. All these disorders signify that
the hungry nerves are clamoring foi
nourishment in the form of good, rich
blood. The numerous cures of the abovi
named nervous diseases and weakness
in both sexes hy Hr. Williams' Pinl*
Pills, are accounted for by the fact that
these Pills act uu llv make new, rich
blood and so supply the starved nerves
with thc vital elements needed to
strengthen them. Mr. Win. O. Jones
Westmead, Man., says: "A few years
ago it was my misfortune to suffer from
nervous debility, brought about through
a severe attack of lu grippe or infiu
ensa. When the first effects were felt I
used to wake up ia the middle of sleep
trembling like i leaf, and in a bath of
cold perspi rati mi. Later the trouble
grew so bad that I scarcely got a wiutt
of sleep, and would toss about in bed.
growing ao weak that I feared for my
life. A doctor wns called iu, and then
another, but without avail. I became
more aid more low spirited, and with
out any apparent reason would have fits
of crying. While iB this condition, s
pamphlet was given me telling whnt
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done for
others, aad I determined to give them
a trial. By thc time I bad finished a
few boxes I began to get some sleep,
aad this greatly encouraged me. Then
my strength begau to return, my nerves
grew steadier and in a few weeks more
t was feeling aa well as ever I did in
my life, and you may be sure I will al
ways gratefully recommend Dr. Wil
Hams' Pink Pills to every one sick or
ailing, as they restored me to henlth
and strength after all other medicines
had failed."

"or white hot by fire.
A tribe on one of the Fiji Islands
wag ouce persuaded to give an exhibition, and several Europeans went to
witness it. One of them, a Oovernment
meteorologist, carried a thermometer
that would register up to fonr hundred
When the guests arrived they found
hundreds of natives assembled. Tho
oven was twenty five or thirty feet long
and eight feet broad, and was shaped
like a saucer. The deepest part of the
depression was fifteen feet in length.
The preparations had been undertaken
long iu advance to avert auy delay,
aud the visitors saw the stoues still
covered with embers.
Walking beside the pit before this
was doue, the man with the thermometer recorded a temperature of one hundred and fourteen degiees. After tbe
stones Wjwe uncovered he bung his instrument''out over the centre uf the
oven, t.L •! feet above the stones, whereupon the mercury rose to two hundred
and eighty-two degrees. It is said the
stones were "white hut," and that low
llamcs from several holes between the
stones could be seen leaping up around
them.
Two of the men who were to walk
across the oven were examined by the
Europeans before their daring act.
Thoy wore garments about the neek and
waist. Their feet aud legs were entirely bare. The soles of their feet were
soft and flexible, showing that they had
not beeu rendered permanently callous
in any way.
Iu order to detect tke presence of
chemicals that might bave been applied for the occasion, various tests
were made.
Finally, at a signal, the seven ot
eight natives who took part in the ox
hiliition came down in single file to thi
oven ami walked across the stones from
one end of the pit to the other. They

Immediately nfter they emerged the
Europeans again inspected their feet,
but eould find no sign of burning or
blistering.
Several Englishmen have tried this
experiment, one of them a British re
•Orient on one of the Society Islands,
He stated that he felt something re

for hours afterward, but that that was

A REPORTER'S AEROPLANE RIDE
I'HERE aro plenty of reporters at tbo
aviation meets, but as their cbser
vat ions are usually mado from
terra firma, wo have so far had vory
few accounts of how it really fools to
ily. The man who runs tho machine
haa other things to think about, and
is not usually a graphic writer. A correspondent of the London limes, liuw
r, recently took an air trip, being
ited to go because he weighed 196
pounds. The aviators wero having a
weight-carrying contest. The wind was
blowing about twenty miles an hour,
■ind the rest of the competitors declined
to tako the risk, so tho aviator and tho
reporter bad a "walk-over," but not
as tame as most victories of that kind.
We read:
"The worst part of such a journey
for the novice is the waiting until
e very thi i g is ready for the start. Tho
sensation of anticipation is not unlike
lho feeliig that one has when one ia
wuttii g for a wounded boar to break
cover from the corner into whicli ho
is driven. But onco tho propeller starts
lo whirl behind you all other thoughts
hey und the exhilaration of rapid motion vanisn. You have grlpt tho struts
thinking that you will have to hold ou
like grim death, but you Immediately
find that this is not necessary, 'lho
machine moves along the ground nt an
extraordinary pace and I only knew
hat it was actually flying when I saw
the elevatii g ] lane change from the
horlftoi tal. Of the motion of flight it
•a difficult to speak clearly, Even in
the high wind that Mr. Grace was now
elmbiig, it was not more than the sensation ot a beautifully balanced motor'
enr, Thc earth—in this case the sward
of the Lanark racecourse—seemed to
be racing away from under us, and In
a flash we were level with the first pyl
and the judge's box.
"The machine was now up to 150
feet, and 1 became engrossed in Mr.
'1 race's method in flyi. g. It seemed
to mo that his attention was glued to
his elevating plane, with just moment'
uy glances out of his eyes to judge
tho distance by which he had to thuu
each pylon in its turn. Wo were now
crossing fields and water. I rould observe the gates, the wire foiiceH, and
i man bathing in the water. Then wo
went nround into the wind. Our pace
immediately Blackened, and Mr. Grace
vas working to keep his machine in
the air. As we crossed s road we were
going so slowly that I could observe
the direction of the hoof marks of a
horse that hid recently passed. Here
all observation ceased, ns Mr. Grace
was now battlitg with the wind. Wo
hnd only noo yards to traverse to cross
the winning line, but the dead weight
against the wind was bringing tho mn-
hine down. Then there came tt gust
heavier than them alt. Tt took the machine just up the requisite amount to
eros"B the line, nnd we came gently to
earth. It had only been a four minute
•i V, but it was certainly the most de-
'ightful ride that I have ever experienced. The only recollection that I
have that will describe the general sensation is that of exquisite motiou."
A YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED BT
PROXY
MVRRIAGES by proxy are yet allowed by law iu Cuba, On Wednesday (Bays a Cuban nnwspaper, a
marked copy of which hns been sent us
by a Toronto mnn now in Jamaica) one
of these weddings took plnce in this city
it the residence of Mrs, floler on the
Mnleeon. when her daughter. Sta. Monl-
na Holer, became the wife of Mr.
Francis Rur., son of the well-known
broker of this city, who is now in Paris.
Sr. Bit sent a power of attorney to
his friend, Speaker Orestes Forrara, and
another to Br. Manuel Torres. Br, Torres
represented the bridegroom at the wedding, aa Sr. Ferrara was away in Santa
Clara.
The ceremony wm performed by the
placed the offending finger in the hinges
of his table, which was attached to the
cell wall, and violently raised the leaf,
with the result tbat the finger was absolutely shattered and had to be removed."
Another ease, even more remarkable
in its way, was that of the notorious
American criminal, Uidwoll, who was
sentenced to penal servitude for life in
connection with the Bauk of Kngland
forgeries.
"Ho was in good health on conviction, but never did any active work iu
prison. Feigning loss of power in hiB
legs, he lay in bed from day to day,
nud from year to year, defying ull efforts of persuasion, aud resisting ull unpleasant coercive measures devised to
make him work. Wheu I saw him at
Dartmoor at the end of eight or nino
yoars of his sentence, loug disuse of
his legs had rendered hiin almost a
cripple. Thc muscles wero extremely
wasted, and both hip aud knee joints
were contracted iu a state of semiflexion, so that ho lay doubled up in
a bundle. - Though he was examined
time after time by experts, no one succeeded In discovering auy organic disease, or auy cause for his condition
other than his own firmly expressed determination never to do a day s work
for the British Government—a threat
which I believe he ultimately carried
out."
Probably the biggest cannibal orgy
on record is one of which Miss Beatrice
Grimshaw tells in "The New New
Guinea" (Hutchinson). "In 1858 a
shipload of Chinamen was being taken
down to Australia. The vessel was
wrecked upon a reef close to Rossel
Island (New Guiuoa). The oflicers escaped iu boats, but wore never afterwards heard of. As for the Chinamen,
numbering 326, the natives captured
them, and put them on a small barren
island, where they had no food, and no
means of getting away. They kept their
prisoners supplied with food frum the
mainland, and every now and then carried away a few of them to eat, until
nil but one old man had been devoured.
This one succieded eventually in getting away, and told something of the
story, which seems to have met with
general disbelief. True it is, however,
on the evidence of the sous of those
who did the deed."
A characteristic story of John Bright
is told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor in her
now book, "I Myself." He was at
dinner one night with nn M.P: whose
wife by no means shared her husband's
democratic sentiments. John Bright
wag sitting near his hostess, and she
was rather annoyed at having hiin among her snuirt guests, und thought to
give him a direct snub, bo she said during a pause in the conversation:
"Mr. Bright, this rug, I understand,
was made by you, ami * am very dissatisfied with it. I have ouly had it a
short time, and it Ib very shabby and
badly made."
"Is itt'* said Mr. Bright, getting up
deliberately from the table and taking
l silver candelabrum which he put
lown upon the floor aud, getting upon
his knees, closely examined the carpet.
"You are quite right." he said, blithely getting up. "It is a bad carpet, and
I will order my firm to send you another in its place.'' And then tie calmly resumed his political couversation
aud the dinner went on.
LITTLE TALES FROM NEW BOOKS
"llHt; infamous Captain Morgan and
1 his piratical crew were sometimes
in tight places in Panama, and on
one occasion were reduced to eating
their leathern bags. "Some persons,'*
says one of the company, Kxuuemelin
(whose narrative is reproduced in "The
Buccaneers iu the Went Indies"), "who
never were out of their mothers' kitchens may ssk how these pirates could
eat, swallow and digest these pieces of
leather, bo hnrd and dry. Unto whom
1 only answer: That eould tbey experi
ment what hunger, nr, rather, famine is,
*hey would certainly find the manner,
by their own netessity, as the pirates
did. First, those took the leather and
sliced it in pieces. Then did they beat
it between two stones and rub it, often
dipping it in the water to render it by
these means supple and tender. Lastly,
they scraped off the hair and roasted
or broiled it upon the fire. And being
thus cooked tbey cut it into smnll mor
sels and ate it, helping it down with
frequent gulps of water, which by good
fortune they had right at band."
Malingering is common in jail, but
surely a case quoted from his own experience by Br, Qninton, the late Governor of Hollr.way, in "Crime and Crim-

THE PART PLAYED BY CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN FAMOUS MURDER TRIALS'
'|MI.\ Crippen trial hns raised once
I more the much debated question
of capital punishment, garnished
with the usual stock-in-trade of the abolitionists—the uncertainty of circumstantial evidence. And yet, if the question be thoroughly probed, it will be
found that many murderers would escape the just award of the avenging law
if circumstantial evidence were no long
er admissible. Those who premeditate
murder, as a rule, take every precaution
to avoid direct evidence. In the majority of cases the murderer is caught
in the toils of circumstantial evidence
whieh he alone has supplied. The pieces
of uiiderelr.thing, the scrap of hair, the
portion of flesh with the scar of an old
abdominal operation—all these might
have boen destroyed by Crippen. Minder will out. Falsehoods cannot be
woven into tho fine unbroken web of
truth. A dose examination reveals tht
flaws of the most adept criminal who
seeks to cover his footsteps, The so
called romance of crime lies in the in
gouious devices by which the accused
endeavors to throw the sleuth hand of
justice off the scent. They spin such
a many web that they themselves are
caught in its toils.
Who has not heard of these famous
partners in crime, whose figures hold a
place of honor in Madame Tussaud's
chamber of horrors! The thrill of horror with which the public learned of
their gruesome traffic led to the passing
of the Anatomy Aet. Here was an organized, dividend-paying partnership,
syndicated for the supply of corpses to
the unsuspecting anatomists, and, as a
mere incident in the ungodly trade, for
the forcible emigration from this world
of many poor waifs and strays, who, despite their helpless despair, clung tenaciously to life. Having selected an easy
and unsuspecting victim, Burke, the
diplomatist and soft-spoken benevolent
friend, tracked tbe quarry to hia lair.
Here his partner smothered the shrieks
of those who protested against "the
deep damnation of their taking off;"
some, doped with drink and drugs,
yielding up their spirits without struggle or alarm. The corpse was then sold
to good, easy going Dr. Perkins, who
asked no questions. Old washerwomen,
idiots, the flotsam and jetsam of the
streets, arrived nt this human abattoir
singly on foot, and found their way to
the dissecting table. Some, on tue pretext of having a drink, passed into tbe
murderers' den, never to emerge alive.
They were more valuable in death than
In fife. Human wrecks whom no one
wanted brought $50 each when ready
for the hospital theatre. The very
helplessness and friendliness of the
(lasses preyed on proved to be the
strong card in evading suspicion. No
one wanted these poor, down-and-outa
in life; in death thoir only market value was as subjects for the dissecting
knife. The score of victims to the ere |
dit of these ghouls was forty, and all
seemed well until Hare, avaricious man.
took in ledgers. This proved his undoing. Even with the sworn testimony
of the lodgers, who were the horror-
stricken eye-witnesses of the murder of
victims, the prosecution eould only In* I
ally succeed in accepting one of Ue
partners in crime, Hare, as a Crowi
witness, so well" had the firm coverel
ibeir tracks, "Wo always took cue
when we were going to commit murder,'' said Burko when the game wu
up, "that no one should bo present-
that no one should swear to seeing the
deed done. They might suspect, bst
they never saw.*'
Burke, who suffered the extreme pea
ally of the law, has enriched the Knglish language with a new verb. "To
burko"—to sniolher, to get rid of
noiselessly—is often used by the public
speaker and Parliamentary debater,
without auy thought or knowledge of
its gruesome  antecedents.
Tho notorious case of the murderer.
George Muilins, ia a typical instance of
the tatai tendency of the criminal to
weave tho noose for his own neck,
Muilins was a policeman in Ireland and
also in Kngland. After leaving the
force he did odd jobs aa repairing col-
tractor, and in this capacity did worh
for old Mrs. Elmsley, a penurious, bus-
picious old woman, whose house rente
from tenants brought her iu tho cons-
i'ort able weekly sum of i'J.00. Tho murder of this lonely old woman leaked
out ou a Monday, and straiglilly pointed to robbery as the motive. It wu
dourly the work of some one hungering
for the weekly rents which she had collected ou the Haturday night. Muilins,
the ex-policcman, wus ihu one being she
trusted. Search proved that the old
miser had disappointed the hopes of bar
murderer, 'ihe money wus afterward!
found carefully hidden away. No clue
was found to tbo murderer. Tbe whole
tragedy seemed wrapped in impene-
41 mystery. A reward of $1,500
was offered, and tho greed for money
led Muilins to the scuifold. lle came
forward to claim the reward, informing
the police that tho crime hud bees
committed by a friend of his, named
I.iniiis. To the latter's house Muilins
and tho police went, but no clue wat
found. Unable to resist the glitter of
tho big reward, Muilins cried: " Voo
naven't half searched; look behind tbat
slab there," pointing to a large stone
in the yard. Under the slab was found
a parcel containing spoons belonging to
the murdered woman. The parcel wat
Lied wilh a piece uf shoemuker's waxed
curd. The eagerness of Muilins uud hit
indiscretion in locating tue booty led to
his arrest along with Kmms. The lat
ter was a shoemaker, and Mulliu*, with
a far-seeing cunning that failed him in
tho end, had deposited the parcel in
his neighbor's yard, aud in throw suspicion on an innocent man, had got pot-
session by some means ui a piece of
waxed cord, witb which to tie it. He
went to the scaffold protesting to tht
laat his innocence of the crime.
The mills of Uud ground slowly bnt
surely iu the case of Kugene Aram. Uo
murdered Daniel Clarke, the mystery
of whosedisappearauce was uot at tht
time unraveled. Time passed, and tho
name of Clarke was forgotten, save by
the oldest inhabitants. The lapse of
years brought a Beuse cf security, if
not freedom from remorse, to the murderer. Bxcavutious led to the unearthing of a skeleton which set the memories of the older inhabitants jogging
backwards to the fatal year of the die-
appearance of Clarke. Au accomplice
of Aram's, who, like Muilins, unwisely
aired his superior knowledge, stubbornly insisted that the skeleton was not
that of Clerke, To back up his theories against some of the inhabitants, be
pointed out the spot where another
skeleton hud been found. The sreond
skeletmi was unearthed, aud Kugene
Aram was placed ou trial for his life.
He relied, like Crippen, ou the difficulty of identifying the remains, bnt
the court and jury showed sound common sense'by sending him to lhe scaffold.
Am.ther crime immortalized in literature was the murder of his young and
beautiful bride by John Scanlon, a dashing young officer of twenty five, of good
family, anil a great favorite in the
highest circles. Staying over at Dublis
uu his way home to Limerick, iu tho
dnys of tbe rumbling cud uncertain
stage coach, ho fell iu love with tho
niece of a rope-maker (ominous trade!)
named Ellen Conuedy. After the marriage they went to live ot Clin, County
Limerick,* Ireland, where, within a few
weeks after his marriage, Scanlon determined to get rid of his beautiful wife.
lle selected ns his accomplice a servant
mau named Sullivan. Inviting his wife
for a row on the broad waters of tho
Kiver Shannon one quiet evening, he
did hed to death, and cast her body into
the water. Presuming on his stand-
iug ns a "gentleman," be gave out that
his humblv-born wife bad turned out to
be of indiucrent character, and had gono
to America. How Crippen-like the story I
I he lady's character was ton well-
known, however, and few believed thit
story. After a time her dend body wto
cast up on the shore—mute wit neat
against her cruel husband. Like Crippen, Rcanlon had mutilated the body of
his victim so that it would be unrecognizable. Still the identity wns established oy a sensible jury of ber countrymen. The case was tried before Huron
Smith, and he. fearing the great family
interest of the accused ordered Scanlon to be hanged forthwith. His titled
relatives were unable to reach Dublin
in time, and Scanlon paid the death
penalty. Out of these gruesome materials Gerald Griffen wove bis finest romance; Dion Boucicault his famoot
"Colleen Bawn," and Benedict's "Lily
of KiHarney."

Horses on farms nro so frequently
worked in pairs that it is very neces-
sary that they should lit- well matched.
BV this is not meant that the team
should be closely alike in color, size nnd
general appearance. It is desirable that
her should be so, but this U only one
and* by no means the most important
part of the matching. It requires a
good deal of skill and judgment to
bring together a pair of horses that re
semwe each other in nil characteristics
sufficiently to work in harmony, und action comes first In this connection.
Stylo is required in the action of any
"lass c.f horse, nnd n team, each of
which stands up to the bit in about the
Bnmo way, is attractive to buyers, and
pleasing to the man who drives it.
A team ill matched In regard to action, strength nnd staying powers is a
liberal source of irritation, no matter
how nearly alike in color the horses may
ho. Proper action—that is, strong.
clean, vigorous movement of feet aud
legs—is highly desirahle, and if it can
be combined with general conformation
nud coIot, so much the better. Size, to
a certain extent, may be sacrificed for
strength and conformation, but only
within certain limit*.
CARS AND FEED IN WINTERING
HOQB
TNDOUBTEDLY there are better
_ methods of earing for and wintering hogs than some of us are practicing now, but if we all give our views
and methods to tho public, we eau all
derive some benefit from oni. another;
for the practical hog breeder and feeder
will always he on the lookout for pointers; he will sift out those good methods
that best conform to existing conditions,
und use the material he has on hand
or that which will be cheapest for good
results. None but a selfish breeder wiil
try and keep all the good things to himself. We should all try and help out
the beginners in the same business wo
are in, as there is nothing so detrimental
to any business ns to have a beginner
fall fiat. It is the young man that will
take our places sooner ot later, and if
started right he will, beforo we know
it, repay us in some way. It is useless
to talk to the Young Know-It-Alls, for
they will never aBk for advice, but they
soon learn by experience at a high cost.
1 consider the best way to get next to
one who wants to loam is to give our
views through the press, for then they
can take it for what they consider it
is worth or let it alone, und follow their
same old ruts.
Many successful breeders and feeders are always on the lookout for a better way than the one they have, and
if another method looks practical to
them thoy will try it, and for this rea-
WEDDED TO WOOD
IN the midst of the Hay of Bengal
is a little-known group of islands
called tho Nicobnrs. It i_ inhabited by a half savage people who have
an extraordinary taste for image making. They make images of everything
imngiiinhlc, carving them out of'wood,
nnd utilizing them an fetiches to keep
off bad luck and evil spirits.    For this
Eurpose they hung ttiem up in their
ouses, and sometimes the rafters are
fairly crowded with ttio wooden images.
Missionaries have made these people
at least nominal converts to Christianity. They did their best for quite a
while to discourage the business of
manufacturing " idoli."—regarding the
images aB corresponding to that description more or less. But the natives
refuso to be bruken of tbo habit, and,
without intending any irreverence, they
have' not hesitated to produce carveti
representations of angels, and of the
missionaries themselves, the latter being appropriately adorned with stovepipe hats.
SENDING PICTURES THROUGH
SPACE
A REMARKABLE development has
bcen accomplished in connection
with the telegraphing of pictures. Hitherto such work haB been
confined to cortnin newspapers possessed of the requisite financial ability
and enterprise to indulge in expensive
and deeply scientific devices of a delicate character, necessitating the services of a skilled operator. Now, however, it is possible for nnyone to pos-.
sess a picture telegraph nig apparatus
ud thus Becure quicklv pictorial illustrations  of far-off scenes.
This invention has been perfected
by Mr. T. Thome-Baker, whose telec-
trograph has superseded tlu* Korn apparatus for tbe transmission of pictures between London and Paris or
Manchester for the "Daily Mirror"of
London. It is n simplified modification
of tlte telectrograph, great Ingenuity
having heen displayed in its design
and operation so as to render it work
able by anyone. It is completely self
contained and occupies no more space,
nor weighs more, than a typewriter.
Closed, and with a strap, it can be car
rled over tho shoulder as if it were an
ordinary camera.
The single apparatus ean be used
both as a transmitter and receiver.
There is the revolving drum over which
the style moves, transmitting and receiving the  varied  tonos and   shades

The apparatus works at high speed and

This application is especially useful f»
military and naval purposes. A plan
can be secured by photography, and
within a few minute?; %y coupling np
with tiie wireless, nn outline of the
drawing of the position can be in tbe
hands of tbe general.
The apparatus is similarly within tha
reach of private residents and commercial houses and should be useful i»
transmitting diagrams, sketches, and
drawings which have hitherto had to
be mailed or sent by train. It is only
necessary to call up the number required on the telephone line and request
the coupling up with thc wire of the
receiver, and the pictorial message cam
be quickly transmitted, thereby saving
severul hours of possibly valuable
time.

Costiveuess and Its Cure.—When tbe

If a gentle horse be hitched to a tree
or other immovable object and commanded to poll, he will at firBt pull all
he can; the seeond time he will not pull
with qulto so much confidence ns at
first; while on the third or fourth at
tempt he will pull but little, or perhaps
net at all. To whip and urge htm to
pull would only start in him the habit
of balking. If a horse i» overloaded or
so exhausted that he cannot pull the
load, and In this condition ia whipped
and urged (9 go, he will balk; or if he
starts too" qmeltly and if pulled back
violently and whipped till confused and
excited,, the. habit of balking is begun.
Thus we see that this habit is purely ac
quired the same as kicking and other
habits for which Ibere can hardly be
anv reasonable excuse.
|    there are few men sufficiently gifted
son I t^nk it advisable to pass the good
metho**J5>loiig so thut all got a little
benefit t'jdm them; nnd we certainly can
all get-trome good by comparing notes.
One of the principal things in wintor-
ingbogs is the housing, ft is not necessary to have a high priced house;
many of tbe expensive houses will iu
the courBe of a few yenrs turn into
breeding place for most of the contagious hog diseases, pnless disinfectants
are continuously used.
What I considl'i1 the best is the individual hog house—OxS or 8x0—as they
cun be place.1 in Hue, and all but the
front covered with straw until spring;
It will make them divide np in bunches
of not mote than six or ei.dit in a pen.
If the doors are so that they open to
the south, and a small tight foncc
placed not far from them, they can be
left open most of the time for ventilation; if tue funds or time are not available, a well-built straw shed wiil be
better than some hog houses I have
seen, but it should be built so that there
!b enough ventilation. Tbe three Gilts
that were iu the winning Poland China
herd at Winnipeg, where tlte females
wero required to be' bred in Western
Canada, wero wintered with four others
vt like age in a straw shed 8x8. You
should by all means see that they have
a dry bod. Tt should be changed ut
least every two or three days, for the
steam produced in cold weather will
cause it to get wet and unhealthy much
sooner than it would in warm weather.
Next iu line I consider exercise. Have
their feeding places some distance from
Their sleeping quarters, even if you have
to- tako otf your coat now and then to
shovel a path in the snow to it. This
is necessary especially with the sows
kept for breeding. Exorcise will tend
to make them stronger] and then they
will farrow a strong and large litter
f the exercise is had long enough be-
ore brooding time.
It may be that the fall pigs will have
to be kept inside all the time through
the severe cold weather; if so, it will
lie well to have their quarters closo to
tho cow or horse barn; then they ean
tnke a run back of tht cows an hour
so every day. It will he time well
spent to see that they get this run.
Before winter s< ts ia it is well to feed
a rstf>n with a large percentage of oats
and other muscle forming feeds to make
them strong. They do not need to be
fat enough for market to stand the
rigors of a severe winter, but a good
supply of meat covering the body will
help keep up the animal heat.
As soon as it is cold the feed should
have more heating material in it than
is contained in outs; the lust available
in this country is barley chop.
In the corn belt they always food
corn to supply the heat. A little taste
of mangolds every dav will help to
keep the bowels in condition and keep
the digestion in good working ordor.
This is as necessary with live stoek as
oil ou nny kind of machinery. Bo always watch that part of your feeding
operations.
Pigs of uniform size should be kept
together, for if yon have smnll ones
among tho larger ones the little tellows
will havo to take the outside, or eold
sido, or they will pile on to» of the
others after they have gone to Bleep.

Repeating Shotguns
USED   IN   THI   U.S.. ARMY.
TheU. 8. Army authorities know a gun; thai
le why, when they decided to equip tome troops
with repeating shotguns, they selected tbe Winchester in preference to all other makes. Tha
experts of the U. 8. Ordnance Board also know
a gun; that's why, after submitting a Winchester Repeating Shotgun to all aorta of tests, they
pronounced it safe, sure, ttrong and timple. If
you want a shotgun—buy the one whose
atrengtb and reliability led tho U. 8. Army
authorities to select It and tha U. 8. Ordnance
Board to endorse It—that's the Winchester.

What the Editor has to say.
Although our Canadian Election law ia generally looked
upon as one of the best systems in the world it is yet far from
perfect, and although it may be laid down as an axiom that
majority rule should prevail, it yet remains a fact that many
representatives of the people in both Dominion and Provincial
houses and on Municipal Council boards, are really minority representatives.
As an illustration let us take the case of Mayor Morley of
Victoria, who, although he led his highest opponent by SOO
votes, never the less fell 800 short of having a majority of all
the votes polled.
In Germany, when there are three or more men running for
an office, unless the man polling the largest number of votes
receives a majority ofall the votes cast, the candidates receiv
ing the lowest number of votes is dropped from the contest
and another contest held, in which the electors have the pri
vilege of voting for the men receiving the most votes in the
first polling,
This system insures that every man elected to office must
be a majority representative.
Had the citizens of Victoria the privilege of choosing their
mayor under a system such as we have outlined, it is a certain
ly that Mayor Mosley would not  lie the Chief Magistrate of
that city today.
Last year ex-Mayor Macdonald of this city was elected in
a three cornered fight, and was a minority representative, and
had it been necssary for him to have secured a majority of all
the voter cast, it is probable that he would have failed, and another man would have occupied his seat as a Majority represt-
atives and as Mayor.
it is high time that the law was changed in the manner
we have suggested, so that the wishes of the majority Bhould
prevail as to who should represent them.

We would like to suggest to our newly elected Aldermen
that the first work that should engage their attention is the
consolidation and revision of the city by-law.
This is one of the planks of the Citizens League candidates
elected, and as they constitute a majority of the members on
the Aldermanic board it is up to them to carry out this promise
to the electors.
The by-laws of the City are in a disgraceful condition and
there ate hardly any of them that will stand a Police Court
trial.
It would cost something of course, but it would be economy
in the end for the city to have the various by-laws revised and
placed in legal form by the City Solicitor, and then have them
passed in their revised from by the council and the old ones repealed, and in fitture they might submit any proposed municipal by-law to their solicitor to see that it is put in legal form.

Again, wc have the long, close-fitting mantle of silk or
satin in very high favor until tho time cf furs comes round,
and perhaps' even after tbat. These garments, whish reacb
practically to tbe foot of the skirt, are in tho one piece,
uud aro loosely adjusted at the waist. They are plain aud
flat, without any adornment whatever beyond the big buttons of the same material in front, the fancy collar, and Ue
lining, usually mude cf blaek silk or satin, as soft and supple
uh possible. Thoy are lined with fho same material, but in
some delicate shade, Buch as fawn, cerise, pale grey, or white,
which may bc Been In tho revere, or not openly shown at all,
but merely disclosed by glimpses as the mantle swings open.
Thp broad sailor collar still appears in these, but the most
fashionable style of the moment is to bave enormous rovers
in front, entirely covering the breast aud falling in folds and
gathers like a huge ruffle.
The latest idea in millinery also is to trim hats with
the entire skins nf Btnall animals like the muskrat, marmot,
or polecat, the pelt being laid on flat over crowu and brim,
usually without auy artificial embellishment, such as a hoad.
Of course, with fur iu sueh demand, it is inevitable that
imitations fihould be largely introduced, and of these thc
common rabbit provides the moat uBual basts. They ean
do up rabbit skins so skilfully now as almost to defy the
detection of any but experts. Very mueh <it the sealskin
used is made in this way, which no doubt accounts for the
fact that this fur will be loss fashionable this winter than
it was this time last year, when it was all the rage. Rabbit skins, too, may bo made to imitate many other kinds
of fur, and, when well made np, fetch quite a high price,
even among the wholesale dealers.
TWO THOUSAND PHOTOGRAPHS A SECOND
WILL the problem of aerial flight be finally solved by
the cinomatographf To the average person, perhaps,
there seems no possible connection between the two.
When it is explained, however, that an apparatus has recently been invented which will enable cinematograph pictures
to be taken at the rate of two thousand a second, affording
opportunities of fully Investigating the flight of insects, and
thus arriving at a true understanding of tho many problems
met with in aviation, tho value of the cinematograph to the
aviator will be readily understood.
This cinematagraph is the outcome of experiments on the
part of a French scientist—Lttflien Bull, of Paris—who has
developed a most ingenious method, which greatly increases
the scope of tbe cinematograph by augmenting its speed.
Whereas the ordinary apparatus takes from thirty to fifty
pictures during a second, this high speed cinematagraph
enables as many as two thousand views to be taken during
this short interval,
The apparatus consists mainly of a pasteboard roll bearing on its circumference a photographic, film, which, under
the action of uu electric motor, rotates with extreme rapid-
FREAKISH HARNESS INVENTIONS
IN no other place in the world can
oho see such evidences of the im
meuse amount of energy wasted
over impossible or impracticable
^themes us in the Patent Office at Washington. Two of these inventions have
reference to tbo safety of those that
ride behind horses.
The first is an expedient to prevent
horsos from running away. The contrivance consists of a strong chain pass
cd ubout the forelegs of the animal,
and kept supported against his chest
by a lino secured to the dashboard, lf
the animal takes fright and run* away
the line is simply loosened, allowing the
chain to fall to the horse's knees. ThiB
is expected tc, throw him down and
break his legs.
Another still more ingenious' expedi
eut aims not only at keeping tho horse
from running away, but at protecting
him from exposure to storms and tc the
rays of the sun, and at saving the euer
gy wasted in descending hills.
With a bold stroke the inventor loft
all conventional methods behind. He
placed the herse under the wagon in
stend of before it, arching the vehicle
above him. Thus the animal is protect
ed from the weather and he does not
obstruct the view.
A strong canvas and leather band en
circles the horse's body, tbe ends of
it being passed upward through the bot
torn of the wagon and attached by
chains to a windlass above the flooring.
With this device, should the burse at
tempt to run away, er have to descend
a steep hill, the driver calmly turns the
crank and lifts the animal off his feet.

An Eastern Newspaper Man's Impressions of the Wast
(By T. W. King, in Canadian Courier)
IjlVERYONK who visits tbe Canals dian West seems to have an obsession that he hae discovered tbe
country. This is quite trying to our
friends who have to listen to us upon
our return. Indetd, bo one, not even
the volunteer who fought in Bonth Af
rica, or the man who onee lived in the
Yukon, is so liable to take the floor and
keep it ae the traveller returned from
the West. Bnt published accounts are
apt to be somewhat uniform in express
ing astonishment and admiration. Much
as I admire the West, I cannot suy that
I was greatly astonished. I think before going West that 1 had a pretty
fair idea ol its condition and prospects,
I was not stunned hy the sight of Winnipeg, having been long familiar with
the City of Toronto, I was not amazed
by the great fields of grain on either
side of tht? railway track, because 1
wns quite prepared to believe thnt one
hundred and twenty million bnshels of
wheat produced in three provinces must
naturally grow in the fields and he quite
visible to persons passing through that
part of the country. I think I had a
fairly accurate idea before leaving the
Bast of the else of the various cities
and towns between Winnipeg and Vancouver, although 1 had lumped Begins,
Edmonton and Calgary in uiy mind as
being about the same size, which was
quite unfair to one of the three. I will
not say which, as I may bave occasion
to go West again, 1 ean quite understand that people who have seen a town
founded must exult in its growth and
returning after a time be astonished to
find a substantial city of twelve or fifteen thousand where they had left a
few straggling houses. Bnt the traveller who arrives for the- first time at
Saskatoon or any othft* "toon ' sees
only a city of so many people, neither
larger nor better, although younger than
many other cities which he has visited,
Charles Dickens was probably unfair
to the United States of his day in
"Martin Ohuzzlewlt"; but the fleld was
ripe for a Satirist, and thero are features of life in tbe Canadian West
which invite some kindly, even though
it muy be an unwelcome criticism. One
encounters, for example, what may not
unjustly be termed a "pose" among
certain Western people. Because tbey
nre in the West they feel thut they mnet
nfleet what might have been racy of
Ihe soil iu cither Canada or the Vailed
Stutes fifty years ago. The pioneer who
lived with his family alone in tbe forest, fought Indians, killed bears, and
was only overtaken in old age hy people
and civilization, had a certain contempt
for some refinements of life and a rugged independence, nlmost indifferently,
bred by his lonely life of hardship, adventure aud privation. He was a type
aud more or less a law to himself, and
he had a certain right to he "wild and
woolly" in the midst of civilization, if
civilization insisted upon overtaking
him. But can we look with favor upon
anything erode or srass iu people who
"pioneered" not by blazing e trail
through the forest, but by buying tick
cts and sleepiug-ear berths from the
railway companies; wbo have never
spent a day or night outside of a well
populated town; who have never been
iu a house uot equipped with plumbing
and hot water, und who havo found nb
Bolutely no' difference i" their comfort
or environments by moving from On

I must protest ngaiusl tho affectation
of "hustle," about which we hear
much from the West. I think that

is uncertain whether to be angry
or amused. At a good sized town I
went lnt* the harbor shop of tho principal hotel quite early in the morning.
Thero was a gentleman ahead of me, a
rather portly, fine looking man, and In
reply to his' good-morning I said, looking around me, for apparently uo barber was in sight: "I wonder what
chance I huve of getting shaved f"
"You are after me," ho said laconically, removing his eoat and collar. No
r.ue. appearing, ho then proceeded t->
shave himself. When ho had finished
and wiped hiB foco ho stepped to the
back of the chair and motioned me to
get in. Tho portly gentleman wns the
barber, and ho naturally shaved bim-
If before attending to a customer. At
Moosejaw I asked a bootblack to shine
my saoes, nt the same time mounting
a chair which stood on tht sidewalk
uear a barber Bhop.
"All right," he said. "Just wait
there a few minutes; I'm going in for
a shave."
M'litary fever iB quite acute in the
West, and amusing stories are told at
ihe expense of tho newly-fledged officers. Oue gallant major at a church
parade is said to have marched hiB bat
talion into tho wrong church. But a
few moments later, although the service was well under way, he re-formed
bis soldiers and marched them out
again.
People undoubtedly have made money
in the West quickly, and the opportunities there are better fur many people
than they are in the East. I do not
doubt that some men are doing well in
tbe West wbo would starve to death in
the East. For a time I labored under
the impression that anybody who came
West and Hayed loug enough would
automatically become a millionaire. I
inferred it must be automatically because I could not see that the men who
lived by their pens were any better paid
—or, taking everything together, were
as well paid—us their brethren ia the
East, wbo usually fall short of acquiring au even million. Still, it is die.
concerting to be told "if yon bad beeu
here tbree years ago yon ceroid havo
got that lot over there for tbree dollars
and a half, aad today it la worth tbree
hundred asd fifty thousand dollars."
Yon feel you would eertainly have been
there if yon bad only known it. One
Buuday we were at Battleford, tbe ohl
capital of the Northwest Territory. It
is situated in a beautiful country, but
for years had no railway connections,
and meanwhile a new Battleford—North
Battleford—haB grown up on the other
side of the river. Well, here at Battleford wo were shown the first issue of
the first paper printed west of Winnipeg. It preceded Hen. Frank Oliver's
Edmonton Bulletin by tbree years. It
was not a large paper then, and it hi
not a large paper now. It is still iu
possession of the family of Mr. P. 6.
Laurie, the able mnn who founded it,
but other papers founded by bim, in
Ontario, for example, proved better
money-making ventures than tbis first
newspaper in the Canadian West. Even
Mr. Oliver would probably have dono
as well in a financial way had he never
gone West. Tbe man who walks in
midwinter from Edmonton to Winnipeg
will not long remain a poor man in any
part of the country.
One drawback to the Western visit
is the obligation the visitor is under
of loohing at wheat fields and giving
an opinion as to how many bushels it
will run to the acre. I was honest
enough to admit that I did not know
wheat from onts or outs from barley,
bnt it availed me nothing. I was called upon to hasard guesses until I was
driven to fremy. Sometimes I would
guess two bushels to the acre, and if
this seemed too low I would guess two
hundred the next time I was asked.
What I most objected to was getting
cut uf tbe automobile in the dust,
climbing fences and standing in the
growing grain, looking nt it in a voeaut
manner and trying to be enthused. It
was a grent relief to strike British Columbia, where they did not seem to have
any grain. I also became somewhat nervous on the subject of real estate values. When a man would Bay, "Do you
see that corner lot over there? It waB
sold for two dollars and forty cents two
years ago; what do you think it is worth
nowf" I would be at a Iosb what to
suy. If I guessed five dollars or some
liko amount iny interlocutor would be
come indignant, and yet he would seem
disappointed if I named a figure like
two million dollars. I finally hit upon
the expedient of always saying "one
hundred thousand dollurs," Sometimes
it seemed absurd ty low and sometimes
a little high, but I positively refused to
become excited wheu a different amount
was mentioned,
Bnt the Western people are all right.
If they did not boom their country no-
one else would do it for them. It may
not be a get rich-quick proposition, but
it is surely a get enough to eat proposition, which, nfter ull, is whut we are all
of us after.

Ing ihv big lines, I pushed on to the
plough that separated the fishing
fruunds from the main beach, and.
Crossing waist deep, found myself on
tbe big reef known as Southest Break
Cr—a  long,  low  sand bar that  reached
annoying crabt and small fish. Another
hour passed, and still our lines rode
straight out in front of us. This was
liacourugiug. As for me, my legs gave
out aud i was tired and disgusted with
ibe monotonous routine of throwing
out and winding up again, without a
single bite to encourage uie. Where tbe
lisli bad gone to I knew not,
However, the water on tbe bar was
not yet deep enough for bass, and, after
ull, we had the whole duy ahead of us
and the best of the tido to tisli out. So,
witb tbese cheering reflections, I retreated to higher ground, and, being
somewhat exhausted, sat on my box
uud dozed—lulkd by thc soothing sound
of rippliug water that unceasingly
swept in and as unceasingly retreated,
carrying with it the annoying little
minnows tbat viciously nibbled at my
white toes as thoy lay half-submerged
iu tbe soft sand aud shallow water of
iht. reef. Fifty yards away, like
statue cut out of ebony, stuod Dave,
my faithful friend and servant, with
drooping bead and closed eyelids—bim
self a victim to the seductive inllueuce
of the hour and tbe narcotic effects of
tbe salt sea air.
Away out, somewhere in tbe mysterious depths of that great heaving mass
of waters, lay our hues. Armed with
six big steel hooks, each baited with a
mullet and anchored wilh great sinkers
of some two pounds each, and bo eon
structed as to withstand tbo undertow
and thus keep tbe rig in position. Fear
ing thut I might lose my line by having
it jerked out of my hand duriug one of
my cat naps, I made a noose, through
which I inserted my hand; then, tightening it somewhat around my wrist, I
ouce more gave way to the drowsiness
that for the lust two hours had takeu
complete possession of me. Turning up
tbe collar of my coat to protect my
neck aud throat, I endeavored to keep
awake awhile—heartily wishing myself
ensconced amongst, the blankets of my
tent, nestling snugly amid tbe distant
saud dunes of the Point. The crash
and roar of the breakers grew fainter
and more remote. My senses grew confused, and soon I wns dozing soundly
—ouly to be ruthlessly awakened by a
jerk tbnt almost dislocated my arm.
The next moment I found myself pulled from my seat into the shallow water
aud being rapidly towed to sea at a
rate that almost took away my breath.
At first I attempted to make a stand—
iligging my toes into the sand and bracing for dear life. Hut I might just as
well have pitted my puny strength

to turn the big fish at the end of my

while I strained every nerve in my
body to turn his head uud coax him

fearfully, and I made several fruitless
attempts to loosen up the slipknot, bul
never succeeding in accomplishing any

this I likewise failed. Things were
uow tfricing a serious turn. Utiles* 1

would surely be curried beyond my

half strangled by tbe ducking 1 got
every few minutes; for the short rollers, racing shoreward, would bit mo a
-tap that would completely submerge
my entire body from head to foot. Then
I would pop up un thu other side, only
to see a straight bar of white line cut
ting deeply through the next wave—a
line, too, made of our famous long
stapled Sea Island cotton, strong and
tough as a bar of steel wire. I groaned
in spirit, for I well knew thnt it would
cut through my wrist, even to tho bone,
before there would pnrt one fibre of the
tough and closely spun cotton cord. No
—thero was no earthly chance of its
parting. This I knew, and my heart
almost stopped beating as I thought of
what the very next few minutes might
bring about. Diet Henvensf I could
not die with just a smnll line, a mere
cord, between me and freedom. Break
It t would, even if the blood flowed
and the flesh tore apart. Thoroughly
excited, T continued to yell ut tbe top
of tny voice for Dave, hoping he would
come to my rescue. Deeper and deeper
grew the water, ns the great fish slowly
forced me out into the great swash of
big, choppy sens, each of whieh lifted
tne clear of tbe beloved bottom and so
deprived me of foothold—my only
means of retarding his seaward progress.
Turning mr head to one side, to avoid
the fearful slap and buffet of an incoming wave, I caught sight of an object
struggling amid the flvlng spray and
veiling as only an excited black can

veils!   Ohl the love that welled ap in
my heart when I heard David's cheery

it jostles against mine in a frantic ef

■ccing the happy couple, and feeling
omewbnt jealous, shrieked an insult to
hem from a nearby Btump. The offend-
mI insect never uttered a sound, but,
leaving hiB mate, flew direotly to the
