I hi il Ml. 1 A RICH DISTRICT FOR MIXED FARMING Great Wealth in the Soil about Cranbrook "While tho earth rcmaincth seed time uiul harvest, ami cold ami beat, mul summer ami winter, ami day mul night .shall not cease." Tlw good eld bonk tells us this ami it is ilu* truth, but how to turn cold ami lie.it, summer ami winter ami day ami night to the very best possible account along the line ui making two blades of grass grow where only nue grow belore, or iu other words, to make the earth productive is tlio question that comes to tho mind ot everyone who is in the least interested in tho land and what the land will produce. There is no country that lies out ot doors thut is better adapted for vegetable growth than this same East Kootenay of ours. Nowhere In the world can better potatoes, turnips, carrots uud cabbages bo grown and nowhere can better prices be obtained for the fruit of tho soil. There arc a great number of instances that go to show what ean be done and is done with a garden patch in this district. Two years ago over $1000 uorth of vegetables were grown, raised and marketed off about four acres by a sixteen-year-old boy, and this within a mile ot Cranbrook. This was done by a son of Mr. John Dcrr, who has since located at Plains, Montana. Peter Lund, the president ot thc Crows Nest Pass Lumber company, at Wardncr, raised a thousand head of cabbages with very little trouble. Robinson and McKenzie grow everything at their mill ranch. There never was in any country a better variety ot vegetables than are placed upon the table at that milt. Just think ot the employes ut a saw mill being fed fresh strawberries three Limes a day, but that is what the writer has seen ut Robinson and Mckenzie's. At Wyollffc Otis Staples, the big .saw mill man raises large quantities of all kinds of vegetables. William Hamilton, of Suunyside iamb, is one of the pioneers ot tbe Industry ami liinls it eminently pro- (1 table. Not alone in the surrounding coun- tiy. but in the city itself many people make excellent showings ot vegetables and fruit. J. F. Armstrong, the government agent, is famous fur the enormous size of the rhubarb be raises. .lames Ryan grows squash and corn. Kdward Elwell's smalt fruits are as good as can be raised and so are those. raised by S. 11. lloskius, while Lawyer Morley is par excellence tho greatest raiser o! cabbages that ever happened. A subject of this kind ts incomplete without a reference to A. E. Watts and his Wattsburg ranch and experimental station. Mr. Watts is doing a great work for the country in experimenting along every line ot agriculture and horticulture that he can get hold of. The Cranbrook ilistriet is a great agricultural district ami it is only a matter of lime when everybody will know it. Walch the Cranbrook district. lt will he the Oreat Home Land very soon. In fact as bas lieen said the (treat Lone Land of this part will he the great home land ot thc future. Tlte YUKON EXPOSITION SEATTLE EXHIBITION Seattle, Wash., Mar. 24.-Whcn Ed- Seattle, Wash., Mar. 16.-St-eam- ward Paysou Weston, the greatest ships fur sale and charter are at a walker the world has ever known, premium on the Pacific coast and the left New York City on his birthday, Alaskan transportation lines are March 1, he will come directly to sending agents into the Great Lakes the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition country and along the Atlantic to iu Seattle.

It is 4.000 miles from New York City to the exposition grounds in Seattle, but Weston declares that he will do thc distance handily in 100 days. In England, in his younger days, he defeated alt comers by walking 5,000 miles in the same way. It bas becn Weston's desire to view the big world's fair in tbe Northwest ever since it was announced and as be had long planned a lecture tour be has decided to com- hine the two ideas and use the exposition, profitably speaking, on physical culture in tbe cities through which he will pass. Thc exposition opens in Seattle on June 1. Western wilt proceed by thc northern route, which slioulil hring him to the exposition city during thc early part of April. from Seattle to Alaska. Tho Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which opens in Seattle on June 1, is, of course, attracting hundreds of thousands to the Northwest am? thai many of them are going to take advantage of the opportunity to see also Alaska's magnificent glaciers and other splendid scenic beauties, is made evident hy thc fact tbat excursion reservations on tlte regular boats of the lines arc already made to the full capacity. No less than a halt do/en other large steamers are cither now on thc way to Pimm Sound, or shortly will be, ami these II handle the balance ot the traflic.

FKED ROO ON THE "OLD MAN" EIKo correspondent of the Fernie District Ledger: K. E. Simpson, well known in the vih/ed world as the "Old Man," who put Cranbrook on thc map, ami kept it there ever since, was in Elko Ins week on his return [rout tbe Big {ed Apple Country, tie acknowlcdg- d before a committee of business men that we had the Okanagan and ihe Nelson district skinned oft the n, Our land, Mr. Simpson says, is too cheap. With thc biggest markets of the Dominion at our doors it land, not rock nnd mountain sides, for a song. Take the "Old Man's" advice and come down to Elko and see for yourself. Why pay (300 an acre for a mountain of rocks that vou couldn'1 even raise trouble on, when vou can buy land all readv to crop with buyers for vour goods at your doors, with mountain scenery thrown In, for one-third the price. With n few live men in this district u'll seo a change and wonder why ni never heard of the place before. We'll tell you later on. But drop in see us anv way. ALL THE WAY FROM PARIS Ruins Bros, millinery opening will take place tomorrow. Miss Matheson has just arrived from the .-rent fashion centre* of the east and has brought with ber a verv large assortment of the verv latest Parisian models of up-to-date millinery. Such creations have never been seen before. Huge bee-hive liko hats with ie-el able flower gardens on them. Others covered with velvet ami ostrich plooms, but all ot them large larger than tho Merry Widow effects of a year or so ago. The window decorations, which will be seen tomorrow, will have the effect ot an old English garden with trellis work and bowers covered with flowers of all kinds. This will be done in tbe Burns boys very best style and that cannot be beaten In the west. * LIBERALS WIN IN AU3ERTA.

THE KING'S BUSINESS Only one week now remains for the churches*~to complete their arrangements for the Chapman and Alexander meetings, which commence in the opera house on Sunday, April Uiu An explanation perhaps is needed in connection with the name- Chapman and Alexander, especially as neither of these two Evangelists themselves will be lure. They are sailing tins week tor Australia with number ol workers to hold real meetings in many cities under the Southern Cross. Tho workers who arc coming to us are men trained under these noted evangelists, thev adopt their methods, and sing th'-ir tongs, and arc fitted in every way LO preach the gospel ol salvation from sin through Jesus the Savior of the world. Further, Mr. E. G. Chapman, the brother of the doctor, will lie the business head of the scheme, fie will eome and take hold ol ibe organizing, and will direct tbe forces at his command all through the Kootenay. It is most likely that he will make his headiiuarter's here. This gentleman, eminently successful in business, has given bis time to this work for the love of his fellows and the glory uf God. He comes absolutely without personal remuneration and devotes his time to the purely business side ot the arrangements, pr. Toy, the preach- r for Cranhrook, is a man with a wide experience, and he brings with him a sifted musician In Mr. .1 W. Reynolds. The stage at the opera house will prohably lie tiers of seats risin" one above another (or the fhoir. It is hoped that all who can assist will give their names to either Miss Connolly, Miss Finnis or to Mr. Stevens before next Sunday, when an united practice will he held in the Baptist church at 8.15. Books an be had tliere by all who have not lieen able to get one As they re onlv twenty cents each it is as well for not only the singers, but the general public to purchase I h -* without delay, It should be qutto understood that the books arc oui* boing sold for the convenience of ihose attending the services and for no idea ol gain whatever.

All who live in the vicinity of these homes are cordially invited, lt should lw qult6 understood that this effort is quite an undenominational movement, tbat is to sny, while it being directed and financed to a large extent hy thc committee on angel ism ot the Presbyterian church, the movement is too big to nfinc within the narrow limits ol any church or creed. Herein lies its secret of success, its seeks to save men from sin through the preaching of the old gospel, it depends upon no merely sensational methods. It re cognizes the sinfulness of sin, and tbe righteousness of right. In the past, wherever these evangelists have ministered, Ihey have left behind a rich legacy of blessing. It is not too much to expect that in this district, where the needs of sinning and suffering humanity arc no less marked than elsewhere, some blessing may also be ours, to the furtherance ot human happiness, and for the vcih'-'al uplift of society. There will be a mass meeting in the Methodist church nrxt Sunday nicht at 8 p.m. for prayer and preparation. FIRE IX THE CENTER STAR.

Mr. Gait, in company with Engineer Putter had spent several dn-s in iispecting these properties and the' report submitted by Mr. Gait was decidedly in favor of city ownership and operation, Accoiding to the report, the cost of acquit ing the two plants wuuld ipproximate (145,000.

This change in conditions was still further emphasized when Manager lluid apologized for lus apparent lack of social and civic interest, pleading great stress of work in connection with the duties imposed upon him hy Ins employers in the reconstruction of the mines and additions thereto as bis excuse. He could not attend to both and he believed that he could do tbe town more good by attending strictly to «ompany business aud allowing the town to look after its special affairs without his assistance. .1.

WHAT THE ADVANCE SAYS. AGENT "The Mouse of Bondage," the new plav in which Florence Roberts will appear at tbe Auditorium on April 17th seems to have scored a really extraordinary success. In fact the word that precedes this play is not merely pleasant and reassuring, but highly enthusiastic It is declared that Miss Roberts has had no vehicle in her career that has offered her such salient opportunities or which embodied a theme so daring and original. When it is said that the pivotal climax of the piece arises through a vital operation by a great surgeon upon the husband of t-he woman he (tho surgeon) loves, some idea of the tremendous dramatic uower of the piece mav be inn-Hned, Miss Roberts, in the role ol the neg- lecied wife of a brilliant English parliamentarian, has a part that suits 'o a T. her great gifts as an emotional actress. Her support Is a verv strong one, containing the na - is of Arthur Forrest, Thurtow Bergen, Kent Hosworth, Harry Oibbs, Ami Warrington and Mary Bert rami RAILWAY NOTES I. H.

He had i.i-i'U a union cavalryman, and bis re- eord was of the best. But be was .strong und healthy, and the examiners had reported that he was not entitled tu a pension. I thought it retty rough." Tlie president leaned forward until Ins face was about three inches from lhe commissioner's. He lifted his arm and brought his closed fist down on Mr. Ware's knee with a good sound thump. "Mr. Commissioner," he cried, 'vmi take a wrong view ot this matter! That man should have been proud of those wounds, those honorable disfigurements; positively happy utcr them. fie should have been Willing, if able, to pay the government a bounty for them, instead of ■■e-triiig a pension trom the government.

Fernie, Mar. 12.—The young bulk elK in ttie herd which is yarded near llosmer, is_. dead. Hundreds uf people have been daily visiting lhe grounds where thc animals arc located, and have given them no rest, wilh lhe result that they are not in the best of condition, and the bull has succumbed to nervous exhaustion, The snow is still very deep in the neighburhuod aud there is little chance of the herd being able to get away for some time to come. The pruspect of a busy season is already bringing in quite a large number uf men seeking empluyment in , the buildiug trade. The great depth i of snuw whieh still remains on the , ground, however, is preventing the general resumption of wurk and it will probably be three or four -weeks before operations arc in full swing. The timber companies in this vicinity are closing down many of the bush camps and paying ofi the men. NEWSPAPER MISTAKES HOW MANY TIMES THEY MAKE "ERRORS" WHERE THE INFORMANT IS RESPONSIBLE. (Henderson County (111.) Journal.) "Newspapers never get anything correctly," petulantly exclaimed a woman who had becn annoyed by an error which appeared in The State Journal the other day. "I can't tor tlie life of me understand why they make so many mistakes." If the good woman had given a second thought to the subject and had considered tor a moment the difficulty attending the collection of the news, she wuuld have becn less harsh in her judgment. She hadn't taken into account the number of items of urws which arc printed every day, the various sources from whieh they nre obtained and the opportunities for errors before they appear in print. Several days ago Tlie State Journal received information concerning a common wedding. Following its customary course of verifying such news before publishing, the prospective bride was called up liy telephone. She 'denied emphatically that sbe was to lie married, but when "the-" supposedly fa'e announcement was discredited she was highly indignunt. Tlie following day sbe insisted that thc original announcement—which she had taken the trouble to condemn ns a fabrication when tbe paper was honest If endeavoring lo get the truth- he printed. Recently the Inter Ocean of Chicago discharged with dishonor a reporter who had secured an important Interview with one ot Chicago's leading citizens. The prominent citizen in question had denounced the interview ns false and the newspaper, convinced that the reporter had Imposed upon it, gave him his salary and told him to get out. A few days later events forecasted in the interview turned up and the Inter Ocean was furnished with undeniable evidence that thc discredit- i-d interview had taken place, that the reporter had told the truth and that the prominent citizen had, for business nr other reasons, lied. Thc uaper published an apology to the discharged reporter. Theiie instances are cited as exam- ntrs of whut occurs in thc daily) grind of getting out a newspaper Incidents of this character could he multiplied without number, hut it ts not necessary. Thc reader understands. HOW JOHN HOUSTON LIVES. (Prince Rupert Empire.) The Victoria Colonist calls the editor of The Empire "the Diogenes of the North" in announcing his arrival in that city. It is not quite clear what is meant by that statement. If it is claimed that John Houston Jives either inside or outside u cask, the allegation is indignantly denied by The Empire staft". Some of the residents of Knoxville do live pretty close to the bung-holes of casks containing "Hard Cider," "Kops Aie," "Schlitz Beer," and other non-intoxicating drinks guaranteed to make men blithering in their talk and wobbly in their walk, these beverages being supplied by the cider saloons of Knoxville, but the editor of The Empire is not one of their patrons. No more does John Houston live inside a cask. His "boudoir" may not be as palatial as that of thc editor of the Colonist, but certainly to describe it as either a tub or a cask is to say the least, rather misrepresenting the facts. The "boudoir" is 12 feet hy 18 leet which would be a cask rather too big for even the "drouthicst" resident ot the "dry" town of Knoxville to empty. It may be that the Colonist intended to apply thc other yarn about old Diogenes to John Houston, that he roamed around with a candle looking for a honest man. What Mr. Houston is doing in Vancouver and Victoria may be better known to thc editor of the Colonist than it is up here, but it is only suggested that a candle is a very inefficient searchlight with which to look tor an honest man in Vancouver and Victoria. As the candle was never used in Prince Rupert, except as a substitute tor the electric light to set type by either ot thc two inferences may be taken, that there were so many honest men around that it was unnecessary to look for them or that the task was regarded as hopeless.

THOSE not familiar with the facts might well ask the question, as it has been a query to many people how a weekly paper in a comparatively small town in the mountains could do as much business as the HERALD does. But the answer is easy. The HERALD has always endeavored to give the people the worth of their money, and a little more if possible. It has published at great expense an eight page paper when other publishers in the Province were content to publish only four pages and ask the same price that is charged for the HERALD. The HERALD has never hesitated at expense to give the people the news. For these reasons the HERALD leads in circulation. The HERARD has one of the b.st equipped job offices in all of Western Canada, and employs only artists in the typographical line. That is why it does such a large amount of JOB WORK, and receives orders from Alberta to Nelson. As to ADVERTISING, the HERALD "delivers the goods." This is evidenced by the crowded condition of the HERALD'S columns, where Ads. are printed from Vancouver to Halifax. It is easy to see why the HERALD'S business continues to grow. When you want the best of work, or to advertise in a medium that covers the field, or read a paper that gives the news all the time, see us. We can please you. The Herald Publishing Co., Limited F.

Many ol us would never be able, day after day, to (ace life with its struggles, its duties, its antagonisms, were it not lor the renewal ol strength which we get itt our home. A true home is a little fragment of heaven lot dowa on earth to inspire us with patience and strength for tho way. Home is tlte greatest school of liic. Few can receive the honors of a college education, but all are graduates of boute. The learning of the university may [ado, its knowledge may moulder iit the halls ol memory, but the simple lessons of home impressed upon the hearts ol childhood, ili'lv tile rest ol years ttnd outline the vivid pictuie ol Wo, "Mid pleasures and palaces we may roam- He it ever so humble, I here's no place like koine," II there is heroism ia the Held tliere is equal heroism in litany a home which the world knows tiolh- iug about, which only angols sec. Tneto are fathers who grandly struggle against the tides ol fate, and uever lisp the secret ot their despair, whoso voung dreams have all faded, but who patiently bear thelr allottctl burden with what tries to be resigaatioii. There are noble women whose domestic allllotions would crush them if they were not heroines, who silently sutler and make the most of their disappointed vcars. They siag ia tlte minor key. hut still thev sing, and so the world thinks theiu huppy when they are only brave. i; , <>,, "ni • in , >u hold the ctec- J n lumi thu was siiiiultali- lli lllll-i the There are men whose nightly return to their homes always means needless miser- to their households. The- lind fault with their dinners, with their household hills, with the children, aud with every thing else. They make sarcastic remarks that burn and scarify the sensitive souls ol their wives. They curry home the worries oi busiaess. They "take it out" ol their families for everything that has gone wrong ir the day's work, and some are cowards enough lo revenge upon the innocent and helpless those wrongs and affronts whieh tliey have not had courage enough to resist and resent upon the offender. Where is my boy tonight? Vou arc his lather or mother, and if vou desire to lay your hands upon vour boy within live minutes aay night you wouldn't know where to Und liim- He's on the street somewhere, or at the railway depot lumping on freight trains, but just wltere, with whom, iu what engaged, what plotting or what executing for thc shrewder ones who plot for him, you could not tell for the Iile ol you. He has a good home and he ought to he there at night. He desires to bo somewhere else with tho boys, and you lack the moral courage to insist that he shall be where ho should be, You hope that he will escape the pitfall, but you know the chances arc against him. Why don't you do the boy the kindness to keep him home nights'! The time will come when he will thank you lor it or reproach you lor not doing it. Une home is like a calm summer evening or a bright, Ircsh spring morning, because the mistress is lull of restful sympathy, or her mind of bright, Iresh interest in those around her. Another homo is a gusty, stormy morning or a log laden afternoon, when the darkness can bo felt, because the woman who makes its atmosphere is capricious, hasty and ill-tempcrcd, or dull and heavy, and careless of the comfort ol those who depend upon her, and incapable of putting brightness and warmth into the hearts ot those around her because there ls none in her own heart. Let those who are step-mothers look to it that they "keep hearts at leisure Irom themselves to soothe and sympathize," to create a rcstlul atmosphere for those who come in tired and weary Irom the outside and to keep light and brightness alive in tliclr own minds, that they may shed them over everyone who dwells beneath her root or who sits beside their hearth. THE OLD WOMAN. Was it you, young man, we heard using those words when speaking to your mother. "Tho old woman." A jtice phrase to be using about the dear soul who kept her Virgil over you in your inlancy, kissed away your tears in childhood and remains your trusted friend in maturity, ls this all tho love you have lor the silver-haired mother who bathed your scorching brow all through the long sleepless nights ol affliction, when your brain was wild with burning lever? ls thero no other torm you can Und lor her whoso love has lol- lowed vou through every trial, tribulation and misfortune ol your llie? lias mother, through all these vcars ot labor, watching and waiting, been wasting her love on a worthless bunch of clay, who, In the rosy dawn of manhood has no other term more lilting llinn "tlio old woman hy which to address nr speak ol his mother? Mother, young men, Is lhe sweetest name In all the world and should he held In reverence by every bov. The time is coming when her lecblc hands will ho folded, her watchful eyes closed and the lips once warm with mother s love lie cold, thc fond heart whose anxious heatings once followed your wayward feet will bo stilled lorcver. So while you can, call her mother, you will miss Iter when she's gone. Remember what she has Buffered lor you. When every friend has forsak- ca you, mother is as true as steel. And now that she is step bv step going down life's other side, to near the water's edge and to step across comfort her old age by speaking kindlv and affectionately to her and make her feel that Iile was not lived in vain and all the toll without recompense. Lead her gently through old age and when you speak of her or to her do not style her as "the old woman," but place a kiss upon her wrinkled brow and sav "mother and In a way repay her lor the manv heartaches she has suffered In your behalf. Sing to her sottl- and see thc light ol love come to Iter ev-s iti she hears her bov say In tones which seem to her as gentle as the rustle of an angel's wing, "Mother, I love you." CONDEMN EVILS OF DEFERRED ELECTION. Ottawa, Mar. 18.—The house divided tonight on Martin Burrell's motion condemning the practice ol deferring elections beyond the regular tlay. Forty-six was the majority rolled up, being one less than tho Liberal majority in a lull house. .Sir Wilfrid Laurier was at home, not having recovered from his indisposition, but he was paired. Mr. Sifton appeared in the houso lor the lirst time since he met with nn necident while riding at Washington. He was applauded by tlie Liberals. Ittirn'l moved "that this house is oi the opinion that [nr the purpose nf enabling the eleitois to exercise lho lull tights attd privileges ol their Iralii'liise, Die general elections should be In-lil nu Hie same day throughout all the piiaiiii-es of Canada," Under the system ol ileleniil elections the franchise was "a crippled, u maimed thing, which has been robbed ol hall its value." He would nol lake Hie ground Hint in Hie pasl all di-lci ted elections had been unjustified, hut lie did hold that Ihe 111(10 electors in constituencies where elections had been deterred had boon practically disfranchised. Tho opinion of theso people hud been stilled. It was possible to lions on Hie siiuie day Yale-Cariboo election cous with lho others, election was deferred. Referring to a previous debate on the same subject .Mr. Burrell showed that it had been argued by Mr. Mac- I'herson and Mr. Qalliher that t'om- ox-Atlin was the must inaccessible riding iu tlic province, vet in the recent by-election in UolllOX-Atlill lu mid a seat Ior Mr. Templeman onlv 211 days elapsed [rout the issuing ol tlio writ to the day uf lho election, lt wus possible to send tho writ by wire, and thus save six or seven days. Mr. Burrell advocated a lixed torm, as in the United states. Mr. Congdon (Yukon) said the matter was not one ol fair play or justice, but one ol geographical considerations. He agreed that tlio elections should ull be held on the same dav. but it was not practical ia the \\ukon, and lie proposed to submit sonic amendments to the election act to provide that the returning ollicer may be communicated with by (olograph. Mr. Fielding said the principle ol simultaneous polling was accepted by all parties, but owing lo geographical conditions it was impracticable. Mr. Burrell had adopted the way which was the least calculated to bring about tho reform desired, lie could have introduced a bill to remove the exceptions to the act, but he chose to take another position and introduce a resolution which must be regarded as a want of confidence motion.

I The constituency was thicc-nuartcrs us large as Ontario. The only communication was by steamboat and dog train. Had ho not been clcctwl j by acclamation in February, and had' a poll been necessary, half a dozen I polling places would have been without ballot boxes. Ruttan (Prince Albert, Snsk.) declared his constituency was in the' sanio position. ] Mr. Ooodovo said that in his own1 constituency his Liberal opponent, I months belore the election, dcclarid' that deferred elections wore vicious1 in principle and unfair In practice, I and he pledged himself that the election be deferred, so as to gain noltti- cal advantage. The Liberal candidate declared thnt ho had written and even wired to the government at Otlawa that his personal and political honor were at stake, hut despito lliis the government purposely delayed the writ. Ralph Smith pointed to Mr. Burrell's election os a disproof of his nt'giiim-nt that deferred elections wero invariably favorable to the government returned at tho general election. lie hoped, however, the government would rc-,_ (luce the number nf deferred elections. ' ' lie did not believe that there had * boen any necessity for ono in Kootenav. Sir. Foster argued that deferred elections were the onemv of tlie country, because It gave the opportunity for the worst kind nl argument, that the peoplo must vole for lhe partv which was going lo exercise the patronage. Mr. Knowlcs (Moose Jaw) said he could understand whv Mr. Foster did not like a deferred election, because his nwn election hud been deferred o-- (i years, during which time he was "a wanderer on the face of lhe earth." He pointed nut that in Edmonton there nre two nroviticinl constituencies, and in the recent elcelion there was not a single vote cast in one of them, that of Peace River. In his own ridiii" nine divisions were disfranchised. This would not have occurred if the election had been dc- '■••-d. Mr. Barnard (Victoria) said he had not intended taking part in the debate, but since the nrecedin* sneaker had referred to the Victoria election episode he proposed to have something to say of the career of the minister ol inland revenue. Mr. Templeman had been defeated in Victoria at tho general elections of 18(11 and isnr, and a by-election In MOB. Mr. Barnard had more reason to regret ihe Victoria Inlegram incident than had the minister, but the telegram had nothing to do with the results. They knew the stand Mr. Borden had taken on Asiatic immigration. Tho vote resulted: Yeas, 00; nays, 115; majority, 40. ********************** I Old Curiosity Shop JOSEPH It.

OLD COUNTRY NEWS: 1NTEHEST1NO ITEMS ♦ fcAAAAAAAAAAAA_A a* AA A A A A wwww w w •#▼▼▼▼▼▼ ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ A strange story of a desperate adventure with a lion m told bv Lieutenant Anderson, of thc lath Hussars, who has just arrived Iu England suffering wiib blood poisoning. About two months ago Lieutenant Anderson went out with a native servant for a day's shooting on the borders of Somalilaird and Abyssinia, lie encountered a lion at short distance, and lired, the shot grazing the animal's skull ami slightly wounding it. Then the Infuriated beast leap! upon the lieutenant, throwing him to tbe ground ami biting hlm through the knee, just as he fired a second shot from his rifle. The animal continued to claw and bite the hunter, whilst he, fighting desperately for lus life, continued to club the lion with ihe butt-end of his rifle, All tin lime blood was streaming from tin woumls of the lion, which was nf unusually large size, The native servant, fortunately, was quite ooual to the occasion. Although practical lv unarmed, he rushed to the aid of his injured master, anil made such an attack on the lion that al length the wounded animal slunk away, leaving Lieutenant Anderson in a vcr* '■re- carious condition. Subsequently the lion was found dead a short distance from the scene of the encounter, ami the injured officer was conveved to the coast. While .on the liner Lieutenant Anderson was so ill that it was found necessary to perform an operation to save his leg, and he is still very ill. The performance of "Julius Caesar" hy the Sonipting Village Players, which took plnco recently nt the Theatre Royal, Worthing, was well worth seeing. The east was entirely filled hy working men ami bovs— one of them a carpenter, another a market gardener, the rest for tho most part agricultural laborers. Soimiting is a small villains near the Sussex coast, between Wort-bin-* and Lancing. Its working-class Inhabitants seem to be seized with a liiirl) dramatic fervor. Men, women nnd children, they act plays and even write them; they shout their words to each other as they work in the fields, and ii is no uncommon thing for a whole family to spend the evenings in their cottages rehearsing each other in their respective pints. They owe their enthusiasm for literature aud many other things to Miss Harriett Finlay Johnson, who came as mistress to the village school eleven vears ago. She began, of course, wilh the children, taught them to sin*** and to dance and to take an interest in everything thev saw around them. A little later their mothers became imbued with the dramatic s»lrit, and now the men, nut to be Iseaicn, have tackled Shakespeare. They chose "Julius Caesar," because it is "a man's play" and eliminated the women's parts. In recognition oi the services of his brother and bis other assistants in building up his hosiery business, Mr, Evan Roberts, of Cardiff, lias, ou his retirement, banded over the concern to them. Tire gill is subject to the payment ot au annuity of £1,000 to Air. Evan Roberts. In an inter- Mew, Mr. Roberts disclaimed having done anything beyond what was right and just. "Because 1 live ye shall live also," he said, "has been mv guiding mot tti. There are men in the business who have given me the besl of their lives, and it seems to im- onl) just that such service should bu recognized. To my brother, who has helped me for main years, I give 2-10 (iftr-pound shares, to the chief assistant twenty shares, ami to three other assistants leu shares of £iUI each. These are absolute pills, subject to my life annuity. 1 am told this is a rate thing tn do, but am benefits 1 am able to leave 1 feel ought to [all to those who have done so much to create those benefits." The capital ol the concern is £15,000. Mr. Evan Roberts started business in Cardiff twenty-nine vcars ago, and his assistants have been in his employ for periods varying from twenty to twenty-six years, Au unusual objection was made before the Birmingham licensing judge recently. Mr. O'Connor, solicitor, objected to the renewal of the music license of the American Skating rink, ou the ground that a man of color, and a student of the university was refused admission, and his monev returned, solely on thc ground that he was an African. Mr. O'Connor added that lhe notification Ihal for the future the rink would not exclude any colonial student of the university was not sufficient, and asked that the rink should be open to all persons, irrespective ot nationality, so long as they were under the protection of the law and were respectable citizens. The management of the rink frankly admitted that thev had injudiciously refused an African gentleman admission. They regie! ted whut had been done, aud had apologized, lu future the rink would he open to anyone. The license was renewed. Three luds while playing on New- biggin Beach, Northumberland recently, picked up a strange substance, which appeared to them to resemble dried hones tied together, the Had being several inches Ion™ and candle shaped. Placing tlie material on the bank side, they began throwing stones at it. One bo<- hit tbe substance, and a loud explosion i in medial, followed. Benjamin Robinson, who stood neni .vas seriously injured, his face and head being hadl' burned and cut, Rbile his -n and legs were covered with wounds from living debris. The other lads were also more or less injured. The explosive substance is supposed to have heen gelatine dynamite washed up from wreckage in the bav. I The New Zealand Shipping company's steamer Huapchu, on arrival at Plymouth, recently, reported that Thomas Butler, of Birmingham, who I wus on his wav home from Welling- i ion, jumped overboard during the voyage and was eaten hv sharks, lie was seen to clamber over the ship's rail while most of the passengers were dressing Ior dinner.
