pleased her fancy. Of course it was
expensive; what pretty hat isn't? She
knew the price was more than she
could afford, and for some days she
resisted the temptation to buy. But
the day before her departure for Mon
tana she bought the hat, and decided
to wear it on the train, thinking it
would be injured less than if packed.
"While changing cars at a railroad
junction in gale of wind her hat blew
OFT and it went sailing over the plains.
There was no time to run for it, as the
train was late and moved right on. Be-
sides this my cousin had both children
with her, the younger one in her arms.
Trying, wasn't it? And now what do
you think happened a year after? NV
cousin came E" st again and naturally
as the train reached the place where
she had lost her hat just a year before,
she looked out of the car window. and
there on the platform Of the newly
erected little station stood a souaw
rugged out in all the splendor of her
native costume and on her head re-
posed the very hat that had been such
an expense and annoyance to nv
cousin. 1t was comical sight and
almost reconciled her to the loss. es-

departed, the feathers looking forlorn
and the trimming generally the worse

to be the missing link" is offered for
sale in London. The officer who train
ed it to perform a share Of duty in that
memorable period of suffering carried
it to England. but for some reason is
unable to provide the com Portable home
it deserves. 1t was this apes duty to
ring the alarm bell the moment the
Beers began firing, and it never failed
to do the work in so ndefatigable and
conscientious a manner as to merit the
approval of all the residents. Having
sounded the tocsin and warned the in
habitants, the ape scurried off to it's
underground bombproof hole, thus
proving that it thoroughly realized the
danger to itself as we'll as to Others.

\ few bottles OF beer, a light luncheon
and a game OF ''draw'' were among a

made the hours slip rapidly by. About

was at it's height, a knock came at the
door. Everything became as quiet as
death in an instant.
"Who's there? said the host.

same time mentioning the name of the
professor of English.
A shout went up from the room.
Not on your life," called voice from
the room. You should brush up on
your grammar, old sport, before at
tempting to play a joke on us. Our pro-

The door was thrown open, and be-

stood the professor of English.

This last was said in a way mimick-

Mr. DAILY, was in progress the second

was a steady loser for the first two
hours. He played 'em we'll. but when
ever he had big hand somebody else
always had one just bit bigger, and
on bluff some fellow with more Gu
riosity than nerve or judgment would
call him down. At just II o'clock he
got up from his chair and walked back
ward around the table thirteen times,
offering no explanation for his strange
conduct. On the next deal he had
a pair Of treys, raised it when it came
his say, stood two raises from other
players and set it back the limit Both
the others stayed in, holding up an ace
and didn't improve; each of the 9TH
ers drew only one card. Hardy put
up a magnificent bluff never saw
a low hand played better, with all the
feints Of assured nervousness, frequent
glances at his hand, etc.

Canada'S Educational CamDairn.

Over 1900 textbooks and aliases of
the Dominion Of Canada have been SUD-
piled to rural schools in England by
Lord Strathcona, the Canadian High
Commissioner. The Canadian Govern
ment is very anxious to encourage the
study of the history, geography and re-
sources of Canada in the schools of the
United Kingdom, and therefore offered
about four weeks ago to supply any
rural schoolmaster with as many spe-
cially prepared textbooks as he had
scholars. Schoolmasters all over the
country took up the idea with enthu-
siasm, and one and all agreed that
from an imperial point Of view nothing
but good results can follow.
