Ma ddened by Solitude.

The Canadian northwest is a prOba-
tionary haven for wealthy young Eng
glishmen of nomadic instincts. Num-
bers of them annually purchase hunt
ing and camping outfits from the Hud-
son Bay company and strike into the
barren lands to prospect for minerals
Or take up land on the prairies. But
most often they return to the civiliza-
ton of the towns with nothing but
hard words for the wilderness.
The construction of the Transforming
railroad induced the younger son Of
one wealthy English family to take a
trip into that out1andish district He
returned to Ottawa a disappointed
man. Its the most desolate country
you can imagine" he said to his
friends. 81 have been out prospecting
sometimes for whole day without
seeing a sign of animal life. Once the
only living thing came across was a
bird, and it was so disguised that it
was trying to knock it's brains out
against tree"

An AIderrnanic Ball.

Some time ago q follower Of one of
the city aldermen cast covetous glances
upon desirable newsstand under the
elevated railroad stairs. Straight he
went to his friend. the alderman, and
made known his wishes. which were
that the news dealer should be evicted
from the locality.
Cali right, me boy; leave it to me-"
said the city father and began to pull
wires. Finally he got an order direct
ing the newsdealer to show cause why
he should not get out, but that obsti-
nate individual still remained. Then
he drew up formal complaint, whict
was duly laid before one of the judges.
The complaint. after telling how the
newsdealer had been ordered to leave
and had not done so. concludes:
"And now we have to complain,
your honor, that not only is this same
stand still there, but the defendant has
replaced it by a bigger one. New

BOY rs KILLED IN MIDAIR
Shocked to Death by Grasping a Trolle
Wire

Shocked to Death by Grasping a Trolley
Wire.
Newark, n. j., June 4.-Swinging in
midair, his legs twisted and doubled
with the force of a deadly electric cur
rent, blue flames issuing from the con-
tact of his bare hands with the trolley
wires, George Chandler had performed
his last pole-climbing feat for the edi-
fcatiOn of his playmates.
Recently George had been in the
habit of climbing telegraph and elec-
trio light poles and Selling the wires
with his bare hands. He knew just
enough about electricity to know that
when linemen work in midair and are
Insulated from the ground they can
grasp even a trolley wire without in
jury, providing they touch no other
wire. SO the boy, with his faculty of
climbing, often Skinned up the poles
and grasped wires without harm and
much to the surprise of his compan-
ions below, who applauded him for his
fOolhardiness. This time he tried the
experiment of connecting by a loose
wire the telegraph and electric light
wires. With the loose wire still in his
hands he was instantly shocked to
death

Testing the SchooImaster.

In the town records of the city Of
Boston there is curious passage
which records how a schoolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner in which the visit of inspection
is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
if he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d of May,
1922, it is set forth that:
"COll Pen Townsend Jeremiah AL
len Esqr, & John Edwards together
with the Select men, Vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
of Boston on Thursday the oath apll
1922. and Examined the Scholars I'm
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy-
phering & the masters ability of teach
ing & Instructing youth his rules &
methods therefore And are of Opinion
That it will be no Service to the Town
to Continue, mr. anger in that Employ"
Whereupon it was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the "Said South
school,
1t is true that nothing is said of the
methods of spelling inculcated at the
"wrighting School," and it is also pos
sible that a clerk rather than the COM
mittee was responsible for the errors
of the record but there is certainly
something absurd in the passage as it
stands

It may be ungenerous to dispel pop
ular delusion, but there is no one
among the thousands who witness a
ship launch who does not believe that
the beautifully garlanded bottle Of
wine broken against the stem of ship
is anything but the choicest brand Of
champagne drawn from the admiraPs
cellar. Whenever ship is launched in
a dockyard, the admiralty generously
allow f40 as the cost of the jubilation,
and included in this sum of f4O is the
item Of shillings for wine. Hence it
follows that not only is the wine not
drawn from the admiral's cellar, but it
certainly is not champagne of foreign
vintage.-English Navy and Military

CAME IN TO BE HANGED.
A Story Told of Abel Erasmus, the
BOer, and Lord WoIseIey.


A good story is told of the old Boer,
Abel Erasmus, and Lord Wolseley,
then Sir Garnet Wolseley, in connec-
ton with the part Erasmus took in
Wolseley's campaign in 1879 against
Sekukuni, the chief of the Bapedis, on
the borders of Swaziland. After the
capture of Sekukuni he was immedi-
ately brought before Sir Garnet Wolse-
ley, who asked him how he. a misera-
BILE Kaffir, living in a cave. dared to
defy the great queen of England. The
chief replied that he had been insti-
gated to do so by Abel Erasmus.
Sir Garnet in describing the scene at
a public dinner given to him at Preto-
ria on his return from the campaign
said that he wished there and then to
let Abel Erasmus know that if ever he
found that Erasmus had been melting
any chief to levy war against England
and he was able to lay hands on him
Abel Erasmus would hang as high as
Hannah.
A few days after the dinner Sir Hen
ry Brackenbury, Sir Garnet's military
secretary, was sitting in his office
when tall. bearded Boer entered and
asked permission to speak with him.
II am Abel Erasmus" he said, land
have very important business to do
here"
He explained that he had come to
see Sir Garnet Wolseley, for he had
heard that Sir Garnet had said that if
he could lay hold of him he would hang
him, and so he had come to be hanged.
Sir Garnet was in the next room, and
Sir Henry Brackenbury thought it
would be advisable to consult him on
the subject. Sir Garnet, however, hap
pened to be too busy at the moment to
see anybody, and Sir Henry after re-
Election persuaded his angry visitor to
take his leave and allow the hanging
to stand over for the time.

soldiers in a Clash.

Tientsin, June 4-There was a seri-
Gus ARRAY between international
troops Some British fusiliers who
were acting as police here sought to
prevent French soldiers from house
breaking, when they were attacked
with bayonets and bricks. The fusil-
iers, in self-defense. fired in the air.
This brought a number of Germans
to the aid of the Frenchmen. They
numbered together 200 men. Five fusil-
iers fired, killing Frenchman and
wounding three others. In subsequent
fighting, four fusiiiers, five Germans
and one japanese were wounded. The
arrival of a German officer and a
strong force ended the fray.

Both Lose Heavily,

London, June lon the anniver-

by the receipt of news of desperate
fighting and heavy British losses with
in forty miles of the Gold Reef city.
The battle at Vladfontein, on the Dur
ban-J johannesburg railroad, reported
by Lord Kitchener is the most serious
engagement since General Clement

eral Delarey is in no way daunted by
the capture of eleven of his guns by
General Darlington six weeks ago.
The garrison of Vladfontein, appar-
emily largely composed of yeomanry,
had ia men put out of action That
their assailants came to close quarters
and suffered heavily is shown by the
number of Gead left on the field.
The dispatch from Lord Kitchener.
