was surprised at the action of the plain
tiffs, because we always have been warm per-
sOnal friends. We did not dream they would
attach US. But guess we can settle the mat

time.

been the chief creditor of Hammersmith

industries, has now fallen to a matter

again be put upon profitable footing.

about the frost line," that bugbear of

Weren't the Mothers Surprised?

Some time ago there was a dance in q
Canadian settlement for tho benefit of
the settlers and their wives. Most of
the married ladies had babies with
them, whose noisy perversity required
too much attention to allow the ladies
the full swiag Of their souls pleasure
in the dance. So a number of young men
present gallantly volunteered to watch
over the refractory infants. SO that their
mothers could indulge without let or
hindrance in the sweets of the eight
fantastic" exercise.
The gallant offer was readily and
confidmgly accepted, but no sooner had
the women left their dear charges to
the care of those m;schievous young ras-
Gals than they commenced stuffing the
infants. changing the clothing and Civ
ing one the apparel of another, till all
were transmogrified.
The dance and the music continued
into the I'VE sma' hours" and then it
was time to 60 home The lights were
lowered, and each mother hurriedly
took a baby, in the dress of her own.
and started for home, which, in many
instances, was 10 or Is miles away.
The following morning there was q
prodigious row in the settlement. Moth
ers discovered what had occurred, and
then commenced some Of the tallest fe-
male pedestrianism on record. Living
as they did miles apart, it required two
full days to unmix the babies and as
many months to restore the mothers to
their naturally sweet dispositions
