A special from Vancouver, B. c., to
the Pittsburg Chronicle says: Two
children named Bertrand, brother and
sister, met a horrible death at Eng
lishmans river, on the northern coast.
They were attacked and killed by
wolves, which have committed num-
bers of depredations in this district re-
Gently. Young bertrand was Is years
of age, and he his sister were re-
turning from llage at English
mans river, sOL.- seven miles from
their fathers ranch, when they were
attacked. The youth was killed by
the animals in trying to protect the
life of his sister, and the latter expir-
ed from injuries and fright shortly at
ter she was carried home. The rtscu-
ing party arrived in time to drive on
four large gray timber wolves, and the
girls story Of how her brother fought
the great animals to protect her life
was pitiful. The lad had nothing but
a small knife. and with that he wound
ed one OF the animals.

ODE TO OUR cURFEW- BELL.

Contributed to the HERALD.l
Ring out old Bell, thy tdings;
send forth the peals profound.
Let every note from thy deep-mouthed
throat,
With its peaceful mission, bound.
Peace, peace, for the anxious mother,
For the waiting wife, good cheer;
They count thy strokes, as you sever the
Jokes
OF bondage from loved ones dear.
Ring cut old Bell thy message,
The demon drink is chained"
You have bound him there, in his
demons lair
A respite, at least, is gained.
Rest, rest, for the weary watchers,
For hearts, surcease from pain
Till with mornings sun, his works
begun,
And the battle is on again.
Ring out old Bell-ring louder
Let them who will complain
OF their rights assailed of their
"trafiic" curtaied,
Who have such greed for gain.
Greed greed for loathsome dollar,
Cast in human moulds,
Whose traffic is in 1.-THE wages of sin, 3"
And human beings souls.
Ring out old Bell-keep ringing
Till all the startled air
Resounds with the praise of thy clamor-
Gus lays,
And the message of hope they bear.
Hope, hone, for fallen brother
For dearth of the tears that flow;
Would that every cline could hear thy
chime,
Midst its dens of vice and woe.
Ring out old Bell-They'll hear you
| Thy mission can never be lost.
Heavens breezes will sway, to thy life
giving lay,
And speed it at Gods own COST
Ring ring till thy far. flying echoes
Are caught up by kindred bells;
Till thy glorious name fills earth with
its fame,
And thy crown wears it's sweet
immorteles.
