But never perhaps has fortune smiled in such strange gnise as upou Edward Reed, a prospector owning what are believed to be valuable copper properties located on Prince William Sound. Confronted with the necessity of doing assessment work, Keed has been hampered for ready cash, and his efforts to obtain oven the few hundreds of dollars necessary to satisfy his immediate demands even have been unsuccessful. Reed concluded that unless something out of the ordinary happened he was in bad straits, and was strolling along the shore near his claim in search of inspiration when he chanced upon his Godsend. Swashing against the beach Reed observed the body of a sea animal not long dead. Reeci was dragging his find upon tbe beach for further ins-pection although hit*, belief was that it was a land 'otter, when along came au Indian, who upon catching sight of Reed's' burden began ejaculating his surprise and crying, \"heap skookum sea otter.\" It was not until then that Reed realized the extent of his fortune. He has disposed of the pelt for 8900, more than enough to defray the expenses of the necessary assessment work, Ho that liveth on hope will die fasting.

It is said that the most common form of duel between animals is that afforded by the instance of two stags, which, while fighting, interlocked their antlers so tenaciously that they could not separate them, and so starved to death. One'of the most interesting of animal duels was that told ofta swan and a pike, which occurred in a body of water situated on an English estate. A laboring man, who passed this pond every morning on his way 'to work, observed a swan with its head under water. The next morning the bird was in exactly the same plape and position. Still, that was not remarkable, however, ��������� when he saw that the swan was in precisely the same position, he called the attention of the keeper to it. The keeper found that ��������� the swan's head had, been swallowed by a large pike. Both were dead. . - In India ,a native went to bnthe in a ravine. He was in tho water up to his neck when a tiger on the hill above gave a leap toward its prey. But the tiger had mot calculated that, since his victim was much lower than himself, ,a leap of the, right strength for a horizontal range would carry him far beyond his mark; consequently he fell some ten feet on the other side. Now it happened that a hungry crocodile was at the same timo drawing a bee line under water toward the native. When the crocodile had almost come upon his prey, he heard a splash just in front, and made a dash bringing his enormous jaws down on the tiger's paw. The bather nearly fainted with fright when he saw the tiger fall into the water, and for a few moments he could not understand why the creature did not devour him. Why did he pi-rsist in keeping one of his paws under water beating savagely with ,the other. And the water turned \"red! Then all at once the assaults of tho tiger became more furious and his growls developed into roars. The huge tail of a crocodile reared up out of the water. - The obvious intention ; was to pull the tiger under water ��������� and drown him and the tiger under- j standing this purpose, tried to frus- ��������� trate it by beating the snout of tho crocodile with his other paw. But the snout was too far down, and he left much of his force on the surface of the water. His struggles became more and more feeble and at length he disappeared altogether, only a cluster of bubbles remaining to show where he had been. His fight, however, had been a game one, not entirely in vain; for, when the bodies of the two beasts finally-came to the surface, it was seen that the tiger had literally torn away the whole frunt of the crocodile's face and had blinded it so that its victory was a1 useless one. Story of a Royal Residence. It is not generally known that Kin;; George almost purchased a residence in the North'of Ireland a few years ago, and the true story why he did not do .so has never previously been told. The residence in question wa-i one that particularly appealed to him. The estate was extensive and possess ed excellent fishing and shoo ting rights, while the scenery in the neighborhood was among the most picturesque it would be possible to imagine Both the Prince and Princess of Wales (as their Majesties then were) fell in love with the place, and negotiations for its purchase were well advanced when the matter came to the ears of the leaders of the Irish paity. A protest was at once entered with the Prime Minister of tho day, and a significant hint was given that if the Heir-Apparent took up his residence in Ireland matters would be made pretty awkward for the Government in tha House of Commons. The Premier was consequently in something of a dilemma, and sought an audience of the\" late King. King Edward listened to what his chief political adviser had to say, and then consulted the Prince of Wales, and pointed out the objections that had been raised, and the awkward position in which the viceroy wouiJ be placed every time the prince or princess appeared in Dublin. King Edward further added reasons of his own for opposing this plan chiefly on account of the distance from London that his heir would be when residing upon his Irish estate. His present Majesty at length agreed to forego his project, and to accept Frogmore as his country home. Mr. Arthur Fairbank, of 647 Lansdo*wne Ave., Toronto, ia the speaker, and he eays: \"A bad eruption on my forehead quiokly spread until it covered my scalp *with toul and painful sores. I went to a doctor, who treated me for it. Still the sores spread until almost the whole of my head was affected. As the doctor's treatment did me very little good, I left it off and tried various home remedies. I also tried taking various __^ aperient medicines to try to cure the outbreak through ^ the blood. Still it was in vain 1 \" Then I tried blood mixtures, but not one of them did me any good. I was by that time in a shocking condition, and as a last resource I went to a skin specialist. He treated me for ��������� a period and it cost me over $50, but the sores got no better. They would^tch and burn at times until I was nearly mad. I must have spent over $100 on useless remedies, when one day a friend asjeed me why I had not tried Zam-Buk, and gave me a little.

Started on July 16 of last year, the union has now a membership of 120,000, and before the end of the present year has come it is expected that the flag of total abstinence will be firmly planted in each of the chief towns and cities of the United Kingdom. The origin of the organization ii a singularly interesting example of how seemingly trivial incidents change the current of men's lives and alter the social customs of the people On July 13, 1909, Rev. It: J. Patterson, LL.B., a Presbyterian clergyman in the city of Armagh, happened to pass a lamp post around which stood six men, some of whom were recovering from the effects of a drinking bout the day before. One of the men suggested half in jest to Mr. Patterson that he should try and inJuc< his com panions to take the pledge. A conversation followed, and tiie six men promised to go to the manse three days later as the curfew rang and take the pledge. The men carried out their undertaking, signed the pledge, and the union became an accomplished fact. The idea of the society was, admirable illustrated by Mr. Patterson, who said: \"The men who drink to excess are the men who make the drink problem, Let those who make the problem' solve it. Let the drinker.- take the pledge, and go and get their 'pals' to do the same. Let the responsibility of the reform of the drinkers be largely left on the shoulders of the drinkers themselves. Let thtf drinkers be inspired with the idea that even they are their brother's keepers.\" No fiery cro.-s of old traveled with greater celerity than did the idea throughout Ulster. It seemed as 'f the people had been hoping against hope for the opportunity to help themselves without the aid of legis lation. From end to end of the province the union spread with amazing rapidity sweeping into its net all sorts and conditions of men and women, the employer of labor and the.worker, tlie erstwhile temperance mah who no.v took the pledge as an example to hi= fellows, the moderate di inker, the secret drunkard, and the police court habitue. The phrase \"hopless drunkard'' holds no place in the lexicon of tliu union, as it is maintained, ani the history of the movement seem-* to justify the contention, that there is none so degraded but has at least a spark of good in him. From Ulster the organization spreal to other parts of Ireland, and now branches are to be found south, east, and west. Then the Channel was* crossed, and several of the' large industrial centres iu Scotland came-un der the influence of the movement, brasiches being formed in Glasgow Edinburgh, Abeidcen, Paisley, and other towns. A most gratifying feature of the work is that the union has united all the Protestant churclies of Ireland under its banner, and, to quote one instance, the unique spectacle was witnessed in a Presbyterian church in Londonderry of the bishop of the d;o- cese, Dr. Chadwick, occupying the pulpit at a demonstration of members. The pledge of the union is a-* follows: \"For God and \"home and na tive land. 1 promise, by God's help, to abstain from all intoxicating drinks or beverages, and to do all that in me lies to promote the cause of total abstinence by getting others to join the union.\" BROOCH - which U the latest, daintiest ant! prctticat Jewelry norol- ty, all tlie rages ������rerr. where, We are giving 11 1 ABSOtUTEtl\" FREE <������ IntrwluM our goods.

It is true,. that there are not many positions of that kind, hut in a monetary sense thoy are very, desirable. It is stated that Mr. Hodges, who recently went to Peru, receives a salary of $,00,000 a year with' trim mi'ngs. Here in Greenwood, ,we uiid-rtand that Mr. McAllister's salary has gradually risen' from Sfi.OOO a year until he now receives SI,200 a month for guiding locallv the affairs of the B. C. Copper Co. This is a huge salary in Canada, and indicates that Mac must have a large area of gray matter in order to command it, even if his company does procrastinate in the diffusion of dividends. People who hold stock iii tho B. C. Copper Co. are impatient for dividends, and mentally chafe at their nou-appearance. They forget that all large bodies move slowly, and that Rome was not erected 'between two moons. Bide a wee! The B. C.

Orippen had a wife who constantly nagged him with her insane jealousy and suspicions, added to her slatternly habits, and love of boasting how other men loved her. Hell bath no demon worse than a woman of that kind. Evidently, she drove Crippen in-, sane from her manners of speech and action, judging from the way lie killed her and disposed of the remains. No sane man would have committed such a diabolicsil deed for which Crippen passed in his checks by the enforced rope route. His terrible fate should be a warning to all -men and women who do not live together like turtle doves. \" Many women who complain about being sick are merely suffering Irom i'i.\"inking tea and wearing corKftf.

O. \" For stating in his paper that South Fort George is a wildcat townsite, promoted by tinborns, friskers, boot-leggers and four- flushers, John P. McConnell has been committed for trial in Vancouver upon a charge of criminal libel. Such is strenuous journalism. It is full of thorns, writs, indignation, with an occasional shot-gun\" thrown in. Whether in the right or the wrong, the bold editor who steps outside the soft trail of. meek and submissive journalism must bo prepared to receive a shower of blows from the enemy. The world loves a brave man when he does not hit its pocket. We know nothing about tlie case in point, but we do know that trying to save the sucker from losing his money is, as a rule, a thankless position. The fool does not like to be dragged away from a shell game. We once exposed a townsite scheme and nearly got lynched by the dupes. Then, over in frenzied Fernie, during our short but fitful existence in the city of coke, we were f-landored by hundreds because we attomptvd to break the cinch that the O. N. P. Goal Co. held over its meek slaves in that burg. Our work in Fernie eventually brought forth changes that would save the people of that city-S100,000, and yet we did not even get thanks, let alone a dollar. Such is the gratitude of the multitude. Then, again, during the stock craze of '07, wo exposed the Ibex and other wild-cat mining stock schemes;\" and for our pains we received an outburst of abuse, alike from sucker and shark.

It says: \"Thero is no railway, no banking corporation, no private enterprize of any kind, conducted on a scale at all similar to that of the Government's business, but would, were the searchlight turned on, show wrongdoing and petty graft quite as great as could possibly be shown in Governmental departments.\" A more injurious assault upon the great corporations, the banks, the railways, the loan companies, the insurance companies,* and all the officers of these institutions could not be iinagiued.
