NOTES OF THE DAY

The Fish and Game Protection club of
Montreal, Canada, asks the province of
Quebec to give bounty for wolf scalps
and one Of their observant members sug-
gests that while they are about it they
should include foxes, as these animals,
he is convinced, are much more destruc-
tive Of small game than wolves, even.
The fox, he says, is great destroyer Of
partridges, and in his tramps through
the woods he has had abundant proof
of it.
Here is an Atlanta boys composition
on Vaccinations" II don't believe in
bein' vaccinated. Iknew boy once who
lost one of his two arms by it, and he
never could play baseball after that.
The other night papa came home an
tried to open the door with his umbrella.
I asked mother what was the matter
with him. She said she didn't know, but
she s'posed he had been vaccinated. So
you see what 1t brings you to-"
A sign on an office building in Geor-
gia county reads: Couples married on
short notice. Come one-come ALL"
And next door there is another sign, as
follows: Couples divorced on easy
lGIIllSy WltIlOdl 6ittiAA AA eAAN AAN"SFss
perl" A citizen explained the two signs
by saying: "Them fellers is brothers.
Ones a jestice an tother's lawyer.
They plays into each others hands an
divides profits"
The Oberholzer sawmill, near Clay
City, Ind, is the scene of peculiar fire,
Near by is an immense dump of saw
dust. which has accumulated during
the many years. activity of the mill.
Some five years ago it caught fire, anti
has been smoldering in parts ever sifcG.
Recently the fire broke out afresh, arGiit
has now been burning fiercely for 1zw-
eral days.
There are now about 10000 miners at
work in the gold mines of eastern and
southern Siberia The grains Of ST.
berian gold are said to be on an average
larger than those of any other part of
the world. All efforts to obtain any,
thing like correct information regarding
the output of gold in Siberia have SO far
proved unavailing. No one outside of a
few Russian officials is permitted to
know.
The spectators gallery is now fea-
ture of all the large banquet halls in
New York. There sweethearts and
wives gather to look down upon husband
and lover, to size up the solids and
liquids, and listen to the burning words
of the after-dinner orators. The view
from the gallery in any of the new BAN
quet halls on the occasion of a big dinner
is we'll worth seeing.
Attempts to evade the death duties act
are causing queer complications in Eng
land. An old man transferred all his
property by deed of gift to his young
wife, not expecting that he would sur
vive her. She made will, leaving it to
former beau of hers, and then was
killed on the hunting field. The husband
was thus left dependent on the lovers
generosity.

WoLSELEY EXCEEDED ORDERS
Captured a Rebel Position and Greatly
Displeased His Commander

Let us glance at one occasion on which
a comparatively Junior officer had the
courage, the initiative, and. as generally
accepted. the clear-sightedness to act
contrary to his instructions, to perform
a brilliant feat of arms, and in doing so
to incur the wrath Of one of England's 3
most able and valiant generals. 1t was
during the long and anxious operations
which constituted the second relief Of
Lucknow. The old mess house Of the
Thirty-second, strongly held by the reb-
els. stood in the way Of Sir Colin Camp
BELLS advance, and beyond it was Mott
Mahal. These two strong positions car
ried, junction with the beleagured gar
rison could be effected. Sir Colin, hav-
ing made arrangements to secure his
communications, directed the gallant
Peel to open fire with his heavy guns on
the mess house.
The fire continued from the early
morning till o'clock in the afternoon.
At that hour the musketry fire Of the
enemy having been almost silenced, it
appeared to Sir Colin that the mess
house might be stormed without much
risk.
He ordered for this duty company
of the Ninetieth, under Captain Wolse-
ley, with some other details. The ac-
tual leader of the storming party was
Captain Wolseley. Never was daring
feat of arms better performed" Through
the hot fire Wolseley led his men,
clambered through the breach made by
Peel's guns and entered the house, driv-
ing the enemy before him. His orders
had been only to take the mess house,
but "the victorious stormers followed
the fleeing enemy, and Wolseley, far
from checking them, determined to push
his advantage to the utmost" He
pressed on to the Mott Mahal, and, with
the assistance of the sappers, succeeded
in making narrow openings in the solid
wall.
Through these Wolseley and his men
eagerly marched, and attacked the net
work Of buildings within. The resist
ance they encountered was, however,
stout, and even desperate, every room
being contested. At length the enemy
were expelled and the Mott Mahal, the
last building held by the rebels on the
line communicating with Outram and
Havelock, came completely into British
possession"
The best known biographer of the
present commander in chief and, indeed
the vast majority of persons who know
the story. think that 1t was an astonish-
ing thing "that Sir Colin was furious
with him for having exceeded the letter
Of his instructions, in that, when he was
only ordered to take the messhouse, he
actually. of his own motion. had driven
the enemy out Of the Mott Mahal! The
brigadier (Adrian Hope) advised him to
keep out of the way, as the chief was
asking for him, and he never saw man
more enraged in his life."
I'VE know that the grand old soldier
subsequently, after having administered
severe wigging, condoned the offense,
congratulated the offender on his cour-
age and ability, and promised to recon-
mend him for promotion. But is the ex-
ample given by Captain Woolseley one
to be received as approaching rule of
conduct for the army? Has the present
commander in chief perfect confidence
in it's propriety ty?-Blackwood' Maga-
zine.

The Gold Smell

Take it all in all this cold spell has
been blessing in disguise. 1t has en-
phaslzed what we have frequently said: ::
That many thousands of orange trees
We're planted where they never should
have been. 1t also emphasizes another
fact: That genuine orange land, in the
proper location, proved by this freeze, is
worth far more than has ever yet been
asked for it.-Redlands Citrograph.
The herald., 1897-12-27
Ship No Frozen Fruit

Now that some of the orange crop is
undoubtedly frozen, it is to be hoped
that none of the frozen fruit will be
shipped away. That would work an in
jury to the market hereafter. 1t is bad
enough to lose the fruit. No use throw
ing in our reputation along with it. Let
the public understand that we sell only
good goods. and then when we have any,
thing to sell. we can sell 1t for q good
price.-Pasadena Star.
