OWL RINGS BURGLAR ALARM

IT the priests of St Gabriel's Roman Cathollc church of New Rochelle can ma the pet owl that freuuents their churchyard they will wiring his neck. on Monday night this owl caused a disturbance which not only aroused tne priests, but called out the entire GU! police force. A complete system or burglar alarms has just been placed m the church to protect the costly gifts given to the parish by the lselin family. These gifts consist of gold communion plates and chalices. dia- mona studded sanctus bells. gold vest lnents and statues. and relics from Rome and the Holy Land. These gifts are Kept in the tabernucles and reposi- tories of the high altars. and no can approach them without setting off the alarms, which are connected with the priests house.
 Late on Monday night the alarm went off suddenly With chatter Father kellner, the pastor. of the church, rushed to the telephone and called up the police.
 Il guess we've got q burglar at last, said he to Chief Timmons The alarm would not go off unless some one is in the church, and no one has the keys except the janitor and my self.'
 Chief Timmons and several police men hurried to the church, and were joined by the priests, who had already slipped pistols into the pockets of their cassocks and were guarding the doors
 The policemen, after flooding the church with light, advanced cautious ly down the aisles to the chancel, fully expecting to encounter the burglars They were surprised when they found that nobody was in the church and that nothing had been disturbed. The clergymen and policemen were forced to the conclusion that the alarm must have been set off by accident, and the burglar hunt broke up
 Just as the police were leaving the church there was flutter of wings and a deriSive hoot from overhead Then the owl, which had been sitting on the burglar alarm wire, flew away New York Tribune.

CANADIAN TRIBUTE TO DE WET

Y Sergeant Dixon, one of the Canadian officers returned from South Africa, bears testimony to the lively impress sion General De Wet made on his op- ponents. The following is clipping from the Toronto World of November IT:
 Sergeant Dixon was called on to speak, and he replied by reciting q poem of his own composition, which was Justify applauded. It is entitled
 The Chase of De Wet. There's gentleman named Christian
 De Wet Who Travels with a mixed but willy
 set; We have tried to catch him often, We've the contract for his coffin, But he does not seem to soften-
 Not as yet-not quite yet. Now, he's an easy sort of fellow to get
 round And he doesn't give d. if we sur,
 round; But when, he's had his little rest, lie just shakes his downy nest, And We follow to our best
 Cursing loud-blooming loud. Hes got the latest trekking wrinkles
 has De Wet; And can do his fifty miles without
 sweat; Does not stop to change his clothes, As across the veldt he goes With his fingers to his nose
 At our net-Lord, that net! Now, we think an awful lot of Chris
 De Wet, A more entertaining gent we never
 met. For he's shown us round the land With his blooming German band But-we'd like to dump the sand
 On De Wet-De Wet. Now, it may be in far-off Canada, When we're old and the hair turns
 gray, There's a bairn on either knee-per-

 And the sun of our years is nigh sci. Why then-then We may read in the
 paper
 That someone has captured De Wet.

Over 1870, 100000 Feet of Logs
Taken to Brainerd.

being more by one-half almost
than was transported last year.
All these logs have not gone to
Minneapolis and Saltwater.
Train after train load were

The logging trains and hoist

A Bemidii Invention

Bemidji has an inventor in the
person Of w. Smith, and his
invention ought to make his name
dear to womankind. For over a
year he has been working at
spare hours on an idea to Tighten
the burdens Of wash day, and at
last his efforts have been re-
warded in the perfection Of q
washing machine unlike any
other. At least this is the report
of the patent officers at Washing

ton for a patent

ers are so located that the clothes
pass through the machine twice
before dropping into the tub.
This saves handling and muscle,
and the ladies who have tried the
washer are loud in its praise.
They claim that It does cleaner,

any other washer in the market.
It will be known as the "Cy-

Smith has secured work room in

Europe. The streets are either muddy,
slushy or dusty; they are Uttered with
straw, cabbage leaves, newspaper posters

being grubbed up for some reason or
other; barrels Of beer, coal and other

at all hours of the day. So long as Lon
