SAVED HIS MASTERS LIFR

In Wild Animals / Have Known,
Mr.. Ernest Seton Thompson relates a
terrible experience. h had gone out
alone to a remote district on his pony
. inspect some wolf traps. In one of
them be found a wolf, and having
killed it, was engaged in resetting the
trap. when instantly he sprung the
next one, and his hand was caught in
the massive steel jaws.
i lay on my face" he says, land
stretched out my toe, hoping to draw
within reach the trap wrench, which I
had thrown down a few feet away /,
Wolf traps are set in tours around a
buried bait, and are covered with cot
ton and fDe sand so as to be quite in
visible.
Intent on securing the wrench, I
swung about my anchor, stretching
and reaching 90 the utmost, unable to
see just where it lay, but trusting to
the sense of touch to find it. A mo-
ment later there was a sharp 'clank!
and the iron jaw Of uap Nc. 3 closed
On my left foot!
Struggle as 1 would, l could not
move either trap, and there l lay
stretched out and securely staked to
the ground. No one knew WhereI had
gone, and there was slight prospect of
pny ones coming to the place for
weeks. The full horror of my situation
was upon me-to be devoured by
wolves, or die Of cold and starvation.
Ny pony, meantime, stood patiently
waiting to take me home.
The afternoon Waned, and night
cine on, g night of horror / Wolves
hovled in the distance, aud then drew
l5arer and nearer. They seized upon
sld divorced the carcass OF the one
slaughtered, and one of them, growing
b2Ider, came up and snarled in my
a39. Then there was a sudden rush,
and a fight among the wolves
Il could not see well, and for an in
slant I thought my time had come.

Away he went, and came dragging

This ii inc it was my sash, but at last
he brought the wrench, and wagged
his tail in j ~ that it was right. With
difficulty, reaching out with my free
hand, l unscreWei the pillar nut. The
trap fell apart and my hand was re

Every farmer who has not had the
advantages of a course at an agricul

also sac that his boys read it. We be
lieve it would pay any farmer to do
without a new plow if necessary in
order to purchase this book. It is time
to get out Of the old ruts; time to quit
planting corn and killing hogs ''in the
moon" time to quit letting timothy
hay go to seed because it lasts longer
time, in short, to learn that farming is
as much a business as banking and the
progressive farmer must study his
business just as the banker does. This
book helps those who read it to do these
things; helps them to get into the cur
rent OF progressive agriculture.

CONGRESS HEIGHTS CITIZENS.
why Government Should Not PAY
$245,O 900 for Wilson Park,

protest of the Congress Heights Citi-
zens' Association to the proposed purchase
by congressional legislation of Wilson
Park as an addition to the Government
Hospital for the Insane was laid before the
Senate today. This petition recites that the
estimates Of appropriations for the fiscal
year ending June 80 1901, contain an Item
OF S2ioGOO for the purchase of this addi-
uonal land, amounting to nearly Jog acres
The petition declares the price named for
the purchase of this land to be exorbitant
and that it is assessed for only IS S513 1t
says that last summer 1-10 acres located
e1 yards from Wilson Park were sold for
1880, the estimated value of the improve
ments on 1t being $1,000 leaving S4l9 per
acre as the valde of the land.
The petition states that if S245 900 is paid
for these Jog acres the government will be
paying 100000 above their value; further
that Wilson Park does not adjoin the
grounds Of the Government Hospital for
the Insane, and that the grounds now oc-
cupted by the government are ample for the
erection of buildings needed by that insti-
tuition, which now has in the District and
in Prince Georges county, Maryland, T69
acres to accommodate 2,204 patients and
about 450 employees.
Finally the petitioners say that the pur-
chase of Wilson rark for the insane asy-
lum would injure the growth of Congress
Heights.

OF SPANS vessels and other means of de-

FUNERAL OF REV. DIR. McGLYNN.
Vast COncourse of People Take Last
Look ut Remains

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE funeral
today of the Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn in
st. Stephens Church, of which he was
formerly the pastor, was the occasion of a
manifestation of popular affection such as
has rarely been witnessed. The coffin con-
tanning the remains of the beloved priest
was deposited at the altar rail of the
church at $50 am, and from that time
until the doors We're closed at 1890 pm
40, 200 persons, 1t is estimated, looked upon
the face Of the dead. For four hours
compact stream of humanity poured into
the church through the 2Sth street en-
trance.
They moved in pairs up the middle aisle
to the foot of the coffin; there they parted,
one person always going to the right, the
other to the left, and then, after gazing
upon the face that had been loved by so
many thousands, they passed out of the
church by the exits On 29th street.
Many remained in the church and the
pews were crowded with more than $500
persons long before the doors were closed
At that time there were many on the street
who had not been able to gain admission.
The obsequies began at $50 with
solemn chant for the dead, conducted by
Rev. Thomas P. Mclaughlin and Rev.
Thos. O'Connor of St Stephens.

THE TREATY WITH FRANCE.
RumOr That 1t Will Meet Opposition
Denied in Paris,

PARIS, January ia representative of
the Associated Press has been informed at
the foreign Office that, SO far as they are
aware, there is absolutely no truth in the
dispatches from Washington, published in
London, to the effect that strong opposition
In the United States Senate and in the
French chamber of deputies will be made
against the ratification of the commercial
treaty between France and the United
States. 1t is probable, the foreign office Of
hcials say, that they would have heard of
it had such been the case; yet nothing
whatever had been received from the
French embassy at Washington casting
doubts on the ratification, and they utterly
discredited the cabled reports, pointing out
that, so far as the chamber of deputies is
concerned, there is not the slightest reason
to suppose that the ratification is in jeop-
ardy. The foreign office officials are conf
dent that there will be no hitch on either
side and that the treaty will shortly be an
accomplished fact.
