THE PRIZE ESSAYS.
Original Poetry and Prose Compositions

Sometime ago Herman Wise advertised
that he would give two prizes to the first
and second best original compositions to
be handed in by boys under sixteen years
of age, on the subject of "Why should
people trade with Herman WISE"
The boys we're to select their own
judges, expressing their preference on
their compositions.
A large number were handed in; A. A.
Cleveland, G. J.ICurtis and J. F. Halloran
were selected as judges, and yesterday
afternoon awarded the first prize, a suit
of clothes, to the following, written by
No. 16, Lester Busey:
Why should people trade with Herman
Wise?
Well, when a feller goes and buys,
He gets a suit that's Just his size,
And Herman never tells him lies;
Or cheats him out of both his eyes;
But gives him back rousing prize.
That's why we trade with Herman Wise.
Why should We buy of Herman Wise?
He is the man to advertise;
And never by the slow coach tries
To catch the business as it flies.
1t surely is great surprise
To see the nobby suits and ties
That fill the shelves of Herman Wise.
The second prize, hat, was awarded
to No. 15, Jas. Layzell, the author of the
following:
In answer to your advertisement of
last Sunday morning Salmon Tips Il
answer why should people trade of Her
man Wise. First because he is cheap.
Second because his articles are good.
Thirdly because he is one of the most
obliging, polite men in the city. Fourth.
ly because he was the only one eyel
gave US Christmas box ever since We
left the old country of all the store
gentlemen there is in the city. l am
sure if more Christmas presents were
given away there would be more trade
during the year. l would recommend
everybody to trade of Herman Wise. II
his clothes don't suit take them back
like l did and he will change them foI
you. remain his well wisher.

pembroke, by q marriage with the
daughter of Delmot obtained posses
sion of the Leinster principaIity, and
thus laid the foundation of the Anglo
Norman rule in Ireland. The dis
racted condition of O'Connor's king
dom prevented him raising sufficient
troops to expel the Norman invaders.
Submitting to the inevitable, he came
TO terms with his enemies He did not
even insist on the submission of Der
mot, but appealed to his honor not to
invite further au xiliaries into the coun-
try. Dermot promised fidelity, but
broke his word at the first opportunity.
Rodericlx, IN despair, appealed TO his
old enemies, the Danes, to assist him.
In vain did Roderick strive against
the inevitable. The first united effort
OF the allied armies proved disastrous
failure. but the proud spirit of the king
was not broken. Listening to the willy
plans of Henry, the Irish king con-
cluded treaty with the English
monarch. So far from fulfilling the
provisions of this contract, solemnly
agreed upon In Dublin, Henry, soon.

Two smar. Birds.

Birds of many curious kinds are
found in Australia which cannot be
found anywhere else. One of them is
the bower builder, or walk builder, as
it is called. 1t builds a long walk or
bower with grasses and sprigs, and
then collects all sorts of little things
to decorate it.. Gaudy feathers he
likes. particularly for this purpose, but
he does not disdain Shells bleached
bones, pipe bowl, penlnife, or any
small object that he can find. So well
is his propensity known, that when
persons lose such things in the bush
they generally find them In the bower
birds walk: 1t is evident that the
bird takes them purely as ornaments,
for he lives entirely ON seeds and fruit.
Another noteworthy bird native to
that far off land is the Tyre bird. BE
can not only initiate the notes of all
other birds, but also nearly every
sound made by man. Settlers are
often deceived by him, and many
amusing stories are told. Sometimes
a man working on his clearing hears
somebody chopping wood short dis
lance away. and dog barking at his
heels. He goes in search of the in
truder, and finds after long walk
that the Tyre bird has been making
game of him. A man using cross
cut saw hears somebody doing the
same thing. and after searching un-
successfully for him, discovers that it
is the bird. Philadelphia Times.

ROderick O'Connor was crowned
with great pomp m Dublin in the year
11l6, when his stormy reign began.
All his life he was engaged in hostili-
ties with piratical Danes and even
more troublesome subjects. To insure
psaee he entered into compact with
the Danish hordes who settled on the
coast, never penetrating into the in

I. Has become Monotonon..

One of st. Paul's distinguished citi-
zens who rejoices III the title of gen
eral, and Whose name is household
word all over town, is a member OF
the Presbyterian denomination. In
former years he used to cross the
ocean quite frequently. and each time
before venturing out on the briny
made his will, in which he bequeathed
good round sum to the church Of
which he is a pillar, for building
fund But he always passed through
the perils of the great deep with safety
and returned home in better health
than ever before Then he would tear
up the will and leave the church out
IN the cold again. This sort of thing
has become rather monotonons to the
congregation, and it is understood
that they have taken matters into
their own hand and will make up a
building fund by subscription instead
OF waiting longer for the demise of
the healthy church member.-St. Paul

Hunted by = Hare.

The Figaro published not long since
an account of a practical Joke which,
unlike most practical jokes. has the
merit of being amusing:
An enthusiastic sportsman went to a
breakfast given at the commencement
of the shooting season. The converse
ton naturally was of game, when sud
denly in rushed a servant, exclaiming
to the host that a hare had been seen
moving about the lawn. Out ran the
enthusiastic sportsman, gun in hand,
fred at the hare and missed il.
The hare scratched its nose, then
stood on its hind legs, presented q
horse pistol at the sportsman and fired
in return.
No one was hurt, but the sportsman
was naturally astounded to have the
tables turned in this unexpected and
surprising manner. II was explained
to him, and then his laugh was as
hearty as any ones. This remarkable
hare was performing animal, which
bad been hired from a neighboring
show. The sportsman's charge had Of
course been tempered with by the con-
fdential servant.
