He Hacked or His Leg.

Caught in bear trap on the banks
Of the Athabasca, near Milford, Me-,
John Mcleod, lumber scaler, was
obliged to take out his jackknife and
cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy
to move and was sprung in such way
that he could not reach over and re-
lease it. He was far from any human
being, and the only way out of it SEEM
ed to be to cut off the leg.
That was done easily. because the leg
upon which he operated was Of wood.
But when he stumped back to camp It
made him mad to hear the jeers of the
French Canadian cook of the lumber
crew.
"Why you no take off you whole
wood laig, all? You get out um thrap
and no Spite you wood laig tall, ah?"
Such way out of his difficulty had
not occurred to Mcleod before.

The ocean scorcher, the woman or

to be in the vogue. OF course you may,
if you truthfully can, say 1.-The time De-
fore last was over" or 1.-The tenth time
I crossed or during my seventh trip

thing is better than the ocean scorcher

how many times he had crossed.
