lily fills the larderS of the families of
the idle miners and insures warm but
plain clothing as Il protection against
the deep SHOWS and the cold winds that
sweep up the valley of the Montreal
river from Lake Superior and the
ice-bound regions of the British pos
sessions. Yesterday twenty sleigh
loads of clothing and provisions
brought to Hurley by fast train, were
hauled to the city hall and unpacked
ready for distribution, and today the
local relief committee has been busy
in preparing orders for supplies and ar
ranging for the distribution. The sup
plies came from Milwaukee, to which
point they had been sent from all parts
of the state.

sistance. The families average four
persons each, indicating that at Hurley

caused Il sensation at Mason City,

A Canine COw-Niiker.

What has been mystery for some
weeks to the dairy people on Colonel
X. NJ. Lynchurst's stock farm, situated
nine miles from Bushvillc, Penn, was
solved a night or two ago by shrewd
mixer known as Jim. Into ,Jim's special
care was entrusted the Colonel's we'll
blooded, pcdigreed COW called kentucky
Rose, which has been accustomed to
give three full gallons Of rich milk daily.
But all al once Kentucky Rose dwindled
down to a gallon, scarcely enough for
her calf Jim was puzzled over the
mystery.
Every night watchers were set to try
and solve the problem. One night, after
waiting until nearly morning, the party
started for home, when all at once the
Colonel saw white object shoot across
a patch of moonlight He and Jim re-
turned to Kentucky Roses stall, the
furthest from the sleeping rooms of the
men, Just as ,Iessaminc Bell managed to
squeeze himself through the narrow pass
into the stall. The two men then noise
lessly climbed to the loft above, and
there they saw the setter Oh his hind
legs steadily draining the COW as dry as
his capacity admitted.
At last Kentucky Rose, no doubt az
gricvcd at the wrong done her offspring,
who were compelled to go hungry, turned
about and gave. him a severe punch in
the side and it was to this treatment,
undoubtedly, that the setter owed his
present adornmcnt. The next day he
was seen to steal to the pasture, to give
himself another good "tuck-in," but on
looking up he saw his master and the
man just gazing at him with laughing
countcnanccs. He dropped his tail and
disappeared for days, avoiding the other
animals and the men on the place, as
we'll as his master, as if he felt guilty of
having been sly, greedy and treacher-

Spanish GrandeeS.

In Spain the Crown gets goodly fee
from the heir who succeeds to Il grandee-
shi on the death of his father or a rela-
tive, and this fee is due for each title
that comforts the rights of grandee,
though they are held by only one person.
There arc Spanish mobiles who possess
from ten to thirty titles, only few of
which generally have q grandee's priv
lgees in the original grant. The late
Duke Of Frias was fourteen times a
grandee, the Duke of Pastruna eleven
times, the Duke of Medina Sidonia nine
times, the Duke of Medina Cell is a
grandee in virture of no less than eight
dukedoms, five marqusates, several earl
doms and lesser titles. In Spain women
inherit titles of all sorts and first class
grandeeships. When Spanish peer
leaves no sons his daughters in tail sue
coed to the estates and titles, and carry
them into other families The consorts
of these peeresses are allowed to use the
titles of their wives - London News

Hunting Wild Geese

A sure way to hunt wild geese is to
stalk them at daybrcak or ust after sun
set, when they are resting overnight in
the waters of rural lakes, way stations in
their migratory flight to the north or
south. Sometimes the sportsman builds
a blind on the shore Of the lake, and,
screened by its leafy thatch or wall gets
Il dozen shots day at as many different
tlocks. Oftcncr, though, he trusts to
luck for a shot. From his home above
the shore of the pond he marks a flock
that has dropped leisurely and unsus-
piciously into its quiet waters at sun
down, and a little later, musket in hand,
skulks through fields and pastures,
tangled undcrbrush and swamps, fire.

Then, with wonderful patience and self
control, he fingers there, prone on his
face, until the game, splashing about in
the water as it feeds, has worked we'll
in toward the shore. Very slowly and
cautiously he lifts himself upon his
knees, stealthiIy forces the muzzle of his
piece through intcrlacing tree boughs
and netted wild vines, brings the ribbed
gun barrels into line with eye and game,

huntsman's rigor, pulls both triggers at
once. There is q deafening report, a
wild cry from the startled birds The
recoil of the overcharycd piece hurls the
gunner bodily back upon his launches,
| but he leaps forward instantly, tearing
his way through the thicket, and darts
down the beach. The surface of the
| lake that a moment before was almost
tranquil. shining with the crimson lustre
of the dying day, is now scene of wild
commotion, beaten into foam and spray
by the sinewy pinions of half score of
mangled wildfowl. The sportsman does

That Paris is favored as medical
centre is evidenced in the statistics of
last year, showing the Faculte de Paris
to have had 9215 students in attendance,
as compared with 1920 at Vienna and
5527 at Berlin, and of those at Paris
more than three-fifths were of foreign
birth. The foreign student or prac-
titioner going to Paris to supplement
or complete his studies generally seeks
some specially, either of medicine,
surgery or some department of labora-

The tournament between expert tele-
grsphers in New York was an interest
ing event, even to those who have no
special knowledge of work wit h the
key, and it is matter of some gratif-
cation that Pacific coast men carried
off the highest honors. How much
keenness of mind and suppleness of
hand go to make up the first class tele-
graph operator is little known to the
general public, but it is safe to say,
remarks the San Francisco Chronicle,
that no man rises to any prominence
in the craft who has not endowments
that would make him success in any
Of the professions. The work is COM
monty regarded as largely mechanical,
but this is an error, for it makes con-
tant demands upon the Judgment, gem
eral information and technical skill of
the operator. The American telegraph
operator takes genuine pride in his
business; he is usually quick to adopt
any new methods that will increase his
efficieneyand speed. He is also stu
dent sf electrical science, and most Of
the valuable inventions in applied cleo
tricity in this country have been made
By working operators,
