winter. intensely cold and with two feet or
more Of snow everywhere. a pack Of
wolves made a determined assault on the

battle for life. No less than thirty wolves
were shot down. Finding destruction was
almost certain. Gidley tied the lines 70 the
brake, and walking ont on the tongue

horses. From this perilous position. with
the wolves swapping AZ him. he managed
70 loose the team 81 leaders. The wolves

Surely mankind has sufficient faults
and failings Of its own 10 answer for
without being called upon 10 assume the
responsibility Of animal failings as well.
An American author has discovered thai
domestic animals, such as cats or dogs,
are not only subject to ennui. but also
display their feelings under that infiic-
ton after very much the same fashion
as their human friends. a fact which no
one who has kept tame animals will be
tempted to deny.
But from this fact cur contemporary.
The News. leaps TO a perfectly unwar-
rantable conclusion and boldly asserts
that ours is the fault, that mankind has
inOculated the beast creation with its
own particular disease and that il il
civilization which produces ennui, not
only in men. women and children, but
even in cats and dogs" I'VE may well
blush" il continues, when we think
how man has demoraized the dog. We
have taught the dog TO be bored. We
have corrupted him by our society"
And again, "Ennui is one Of mans many
inventions. but he has taught the I'M
profitable vice 10 the domestic OF at least
TO the household animals-pupils only
too apt in evn."
/ Was ever so monstrous a charge lev
eled against our innocencel The next
thing we shall be told is that we are the
cause that dogs do bark and bite and
that whatever may have been the NOR

Another work Of fiction describes

Mrs. Croker does the same in her
latest one. These careless people
would be first to lay the blame Of all
such faults to laundering proof-read-
ers. But the ones to which | refer
are unmistakeable evidence of having
been the work OF the author.
There is little change in the 'make

change has taken place in one OF
