Fought Shy Of the Trap.

Some years since, while hunting in
northern Michigan, l tried, with the aid
Of q professional trapper, to entrap a
fox who made nightly visits to q spot
where the entrails of a deer had been
thrown. Although we tried every expe-
dent that suggested itself to us, we
were unsuccessful, and, what seemed
very singular. we always found the trap
sprung. My companion insisted that the
animal dug beneath it, and putting his
paw beneath the jaw pushed down the
pan with safety to himself, but though
the appearance seemed to confirm it l
could badly credit his explanation. An.
other year, in another locality of the
same region, an old and experienced
trapper assured me Of its correctness and
said In confirmation that he had several
times caught them, after they had made
two or three successful attempts tc
spring the trap. by the simple expedient
OF setting it upside down.. when, OF
course, the act Of undermining and
touching the pan would bring the paw
within the grasp Of the jaws MIR. Gre.

Manitoba's Premier Opens the
Debate on tbs Separate

NO DESIRE TO RUSH MATTERS
Opposition Claims the Gov
eminent Has to Pursue
Its Policy.

WINNIPEG, June 19.-In the legisla-
ture during the afternoon the motion
dealing with the separate schools
remedial order, a given out in the
house on Thursday, was the first mat
ter taken up. Premier Greenway, in
moving the adoption Of the resolution
which was to be Manitoba's answer to
the Dominion government regarding
separate schools, spoke for three-quar-
tiers of an hour, and was listened to
with close attention by members and
also by . large audience in the gal.
leries. Premier Greenway said he
merely proposed to introduce the mat
ter to the legislature, leaving the full
discussion of the subject to members
who might follow him. There had
been no desire on the part Of the Mani
toba government SO far ~ he knew, or
on the part Of their followers, to run
hurriedly into the discussion Of the
important subject. Some Of the separ-
ate school advocates
Had Been Very Much Afraid
Of the government pursuing o course
that governments sometimes pursued
in such cases, that was to take advan-
tage Of the very strong feeling that ex.
listed in the province when that m
dial order from Ottawa was made pub
lie and ask the views Of the people on
the subject. But the government did
not adopt such a course, as he was Of
the opinion that such a question as this
could be discussed outside of Q political
campaign. Premier Greenway's speech
was heartily applauded at the conclu-
sion.
MIR. Armstrong, who represents q
French Catholic constituency in the
legislature, was the first member Of
the opposition to reply. His attack on
the government was q very mild one,
chiefly confined to the point that it was

with the Greenway government; not
that they were in favor Of national
schools, but that it was their only sal
walton at present to pursue that policy.
Attorney General Sifton arose 1t 4:SO
to second the premier's motion. His
address was continued until late in the
evening. The constitutional side Of
the question was dealt with In all its
phases, the attorney general taking the
position that the latest Judgment of
the imperial privy council was not
mandatory on the Dominion govern
ment; it did not command them to act
or not to act. Manitoba, he asserted,
should not comply with the terms of
the remedial order and maintain an ef-
icient school system such a young,
growing province demanded.

MONEY NO OBJECT.


when IL Allowed Telling Henry Clay the
sort Of Partner He was.
Zone Of my boyhood recollections,"
said General Wade Hampton, "refers to
Henry Clay. He was a frequent visitor
at my fathers house in South Carolina.
Both Clay and my father were ardent
whist players, and nothing was more to
their minds than the collection Of a
brace Of gentlemen equally addicted to
whist. and then the quartet. would play
for hours. While the name Of whist
might serve to imply q game where ST.
lence reigned, my father and Clay
didn't play whist that way. They ex-
ulted audibly over q success, and did
not hesitate when they were playing as
partners to violently point out mistakes
the other had made and attributed de-
feat to the others ignorance and utter
lack Of natural intelligence. Indeed, on
occasions particularly trying, they were
even known to apply hard names to n
another. This they did in no slanderous
spirit, but to brighten up and sharpen
the wits Of the other to the improve
ments Of his play. As they were sitting
down to a game as partners one evening
Clay remarked:
"'1t's q great outrage the way we
talk to each other, and my idea now,
at the outset, is for each of us to put up
$50, to belong to the one who is first
called hard names by the other. OF you
assail me, the money is mine; if I for
get myself, you take it
my father readily agreed. He felt
in a mild, agreeable mood. He was con-
fdent he would never again be q prey to
the slightest impulse to speak harshly
to his dear friend Clay. And, besides, it
was his recollection that Clay was the
man who ragged and did the loud talk
ing. So my father cheerfully placed the
$50 on top Of Clay's. He thought it
would be a good lesson to the blue grass
orator to lose it. As they proceeded
with the game Clay made some excess
lively thick headed and i'll advised plays.
He led the wrong cards; he trumped
the wrong tricks; he did everything
idiotic in whist that he well could. My
fathers blood began to boil As he and
Clay lost game after game his wrath ran
higher and higher. Still he bit his lip
and suffered in silence. 1t went ON for
hours, until Clay made some play of
browning imbecility which lost him and
my father the eleventh game. Flesh and
blood could stand no more. My father
sternly pushed the $40 over to Clay.
"'Why,' said Clay, opening his gray
eyes with look Of innocence and amaze
ment, why do you do that? You haven't
said q word
"'No,' retorted my father. but I'm
going to tell you, sir, that you are the
most abject idiot, the most boundless
imbecil6 that ever dealt a hand at whist.
Yes, sir; I repeat it, you r the -
fool I ever met in my life. '"-Chicago
