DRINK LAWS oF ENaLANp.

Mr.. Booth, in his pamphlet OF the
social. work Of the Salvation Army
In 1878, just issued, says with re-
gard to the drink laws OF England:
"There is no denying that the present
system of forcing public houses on the
people whether they want them or
not is fruitful cause of cruelty, OF
lunacy, of squalor, vice and crime.
The temptation TO drink is put down
at every street corner; the man-trap,
with it's billiards and It's beer, is there
at every turn"

the big bull raised his head,

It was less than p feet away.

dragged about until be was
nearly bruised TO death. At
one time, while the moose was
making a dash across AZ small
clearing. Tomab fell down and
the maddened animal made a
return charge, evidently with
the intention OF ending the
chase. AS the moose charged
he dragged the rope around the
trunk Of a birch tree. TOmah
took advantage Of the animals
bad judgement. and, boldiDg on
to his end of the rope, ran
around in the opposite direction
until be had made a fair bitch,
and then be began to run around
in Il circle. tantalizing the
creature, till the moose had
wound himself up close to the
tree. Then Tomab tied the re.
naming end of the rope to the
antlers and his work was &C
complisbed. He then went to
the shore and found that his Ca
noe bad filled with water during
the struggle. He soon bad it
emptied and was On his way
down the lake to find the men
who doubted bis word.

While they were specializing
on the best plan for future oper

deserted them, the black flies
and mosquitoes began to feast
upon them With such ferocity
tlIat it was found necessary to
lsipdle fire for Smudge. The
little steamer bad gone down !

do was to prepare for stay or
employ 4 new gpide. After
an hour or more of fighting flies |
and boxing mosquitoes, ii was

hours, and fears were enter

road.

smoked and fretted until it he
