This time it is Miss Caldwell who
refuses to agree to the terms of the

modern prize fight, and the inter
ested people are becoming quite
impatient. It is about time for
some one to put up or suspend OPP

aunt is wealthy woman, and |
wrote to her at once, but could
hear nothing from her. 1t occurred
to me that she was responsible for
the runaway, so | concluded to come
to st. Joseph to my aunt. Then she
confessed that she had arranged for
the marriage of the children. She
met them in small Pennsylvania
town on December 6, where she gave
her consent to their marriage and
betrayed all expenses. When |
demanded the whereabouts OF the
children, she told me they were liv-
ing with Mrs. Foss, near Canyon
City, Colo. When | asked her what
she meant by such apiece of extreme
foolishness, she said she had plenty
of money and that she hoped to
make the children happy by having
them married. She offered to sup

CANADIAN WOLVES INVADING MAINE.
BANGOR, Me-, Jan, 15.-The Maine
sportsmen, lumbermen and dwellers
on the northern frontier ofthe State,
who have scoffed at the reports that
wolves have again made their way
into the Maine forests, now know 1T
is fact. Gray wolves have been
seen in Maine this week in good
numbers and the farmers in the
thinly settled regions in the north
are already terrified, while the
sportsmen believe that their hunt
ing days are over, claiming that the
wolves will clear the State of game
quicker than fire. James Randall,
lumberman, started from his
camps on Beaver brook Monday to
go to Washburn, twenty miles away.
When some miles from camp he saw
an enormous gray wolf. The ami
NAL was as much surprised as the
man, and made no movement, but
looked intently at the intruder.
Every moment Mr.. Randall expect
ed that he would set up howl and
bring the pack down upon him. He
had no weapons, but Selling dead
tree limb he threw it at the wolf,
which skunk into the woods with a
yelp of surprise. The lumberman
returned to camp.

ages, and some bottles Of water. The

ordered the car men of the rail
way company to fetch the package

on the journey was awful and bone
breaking. Sometimes he was left

der piles of goods. He reached Paris

hidden his wife to visit them; but at this
time he was drinking heavily and on the
night of the fire she slept In Mrs. Sawyer's
dining-room on the lounge. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sawyer and Mrs. York testify that they
heard York who was intoxicated in the even
ing. pounding In the night and slamming the
doors; that about half-past four in the
morning York called up the front stairs to
Mrs. Sawyer. asking II they had fire up
there, saying he smelled burning wood. She
told him no. She came to the head of the
stairs and saw smoke coming through the
cracks in the stairs. 1t Is claimed on the
part of the state that the fire originated in a
closet under the front stairs. On behalf of
the defense some eight or 10 witnesses tes-
tify that they went.as soon as they heard
the alarm and then the fire and smoke were
coming from the roof that there was no fire
In the front hall or closet under the stairs.
George. York says when he awoke he
smelled the smoke and on investigation
found 1t was in the roof or the upper part
of the building and Immediately aroused the
inmates that he set no fire and was not up
in the night as testified to by the inmates
upstairs. Mrs. Sawyer swears that there
was only one stove In the upper part of the
house and there had been no fire in that
since noon Of the day before and that was a
wood fire. The jury went out at quarter

i an impression that
English u b b e r

made on this side of the
Atlantic, something in the
atmosphere, maybe, that

perfect than any produced
in this country. However
right or wrong the notion
may be it is generally be-
lieved in and so English
Macintoshes are acknowl-

made, and that's why the
demand for them is in
creasing, regardless of the
fact that they're expensive
and are in direct competi-

We shall open Monday
a large shipment of Mac
intoshes which we have
just received direct from
the makers in London.
The line includes the
"Neilsson" for women, and
