TRAMPY'S REGRETS.

Me side kicker and meSelf were
kicking along the turnpike some
time ago, when we spotted a couple
Of squirrels sporting themselves
on a fence. AS we stopped to
watch them [ noticed a sad ex-
preston spread over my pals face,
and [ asked him what caused an
old road-beater like himself to get
the blues, and he told me the
following story:
When I was eight and a half
years old, my father moved up in
the Muskoka country along the
Georgian Bay. At that time one
of the widest places a person
would wish to live in. The woods
were full of bears and other wild
animals and no one ventured out
after dark without a gun. We had
many adventures with the bears
and [ used to go with the men to
watch the corn-felds at night to
keep them away. l had never shot
a gun in my life and of course
was crazy to do so; but ammuni-
ton was precious and costly and
no one would let me waste a shot.
One day was out hunting with
our country pedagogue and saw a
squirrel on a tree and [ begged
him to let me shoot it. He was
feeling in good humor, as he had
just bagged two fat blue ducks a
little while before; so he rested his
winchester over stump and told
me to try, thinking that would
miss it though, and I wish [ had.
[ took a good aim and fired and
hit the squirrel in the middle. It
fell to the ground with half of it's
entrails hanging out and tried to
run away in that condition. In
stantly [ was stricken with re-
morse and began to cry while the
teacher ended the poor little
things life with club. The
little squirrel had looked so happy
on the tree, and then so frightened
and suffering when on the ground,
that 1 will never forget it, and it
makes me sad to think of it. Then
there is another regret that comes
to me whenever [ think of the
squirrel. It was getting to be cold
weather and the men began to set
traps for offers and minks and
muskrats and other fur-bearing
animals. That was something else
that [ had never done; so I got a
trap from the school-teacher and
set it on rock with few inches
of water over it and placed bait
SO an animal would have to step
on the trap to get it. The next
morning at daybreak I got up in
a hurry and went to see if I had
caught anything. I was very
tickled, when, on looking at the
rock, to see a fine big muskrat
sitting where [ had set the trap.
I stood contemplating my prize as
I thought; but the little animal

One Of the unique features Of
this congress of red men, which
has aroused great enthusiasm
among the Indians and consider
able interest among pale-faces, is
a dog feast, which will be given as
soon as the encampment is ar
ranged and the necessary supply
of fat dog can be secured. It is a
we'll known fact that our copper
colored brothers are very partial to
roast dog, and the opportunity to
observe such a feast with it's
peculiar attendant ceremonies is
not to be lightly passed by. AS an
opportunity for chronological study
this congress will doubtless prove
a great attraction, as many tribes
are passing away, and it is doubt
full if such another gathering will
ever again be witnessed.

The chapel services on last Sun
day were very beautiful and i'm
pressive. The Rev. Father Cor
coran addressed his hearers in his
usual earnest manner, showing
them the pathway to heaven, and
how necessary it was to be up and
doing. Life is short. We have
no time to flicker away.
Just before the services began,
Warden Wolfer introduced two
ladies of the Salvation Army from
Minneapolis who sang a very
pretty solo and after the services
these ladies sang "Just Break the
News to Mother" This being a
duet with autoharp accompani-
ment. We could tell how deeply
it was appreciated by the wrapt
attention Of the inmates, and the
tears of emotion which would not
and could not be suppressed. 1t
touched the responsive cord of
many a heart that otherwise would
have repudiated the soft impeach-
ment. This proves that the ma
jority of our inmates are looking
after better things. The love of
home and mother can never die.
We thank the Salvation Army
ladies for their visit and hope they
will come again.
