BELLED WOLF, LOST LAMBS.

A settler on the Upper Mattawa river.
in Quebec, who caught a wolf last win ;
ter. had read that ships were some
times cleared of rats by fastening a
bell around the neck of one of them.
And bright idea occurred to him
that in similar manner he might
clear the adjacent woods of wolves.
He fastened a bell on his VOLTS neck
and reeased him.
After the snow had melted he allow
ed his flock of sheep to exercise their
lambs in the fields near the house. His
children were with their father look
ing ct the gambols of the lambs, when
the sheep were noticed 10 prick UP their
ears as If intently listening. Then,
with much bleating. the whole flock
raced to the woods.
Wondering at the vagaries of the an
imals the farmer went about his work.
About an hour later the children came
up to him with the news that the sheep
had returned, but had left one of the
lambs behind them.
The next day the same thing oc-
CURED again, and another lamb disap-
pearcd. The children tried to keep the
sheep in the fields. but, failing, follow
ed them into the bush. They reported
that they had distinctly heard a bell
tinkling In the distance.
Then 1t began to dawn on the farmer
that the bell which had been fastened
to the neck of his gray wolf visitor was
the same which was borne by the
father of the flock in the previous sum-
mer. The quick-eared sheep had rec
ognized the sound of the bell, and, true
to their instinct, had hastened to join
their last years companion.
That they found, not exactly vol
In sleeps clothing. but wolf attached
to sleeps bell. and ready to take ad
vantage Of his condition to dine OF
Spring lamb was no fault OF theirs
though certainly their misfortune. Th,
settler does not appear to think very
much of the bell plan of disposing o.

TWO RINGS FOR ICE WATER.
Haar tho Thrilling tcat

TWO RINGS FOR ICE WATER. Z
Hear the tinkling ice!
Joyful essence of delight!
AS the bellboy hastens with it
In the middle of the night!
Welcome. extract of delight!
Nearer. nearer he approaches
To the door that stands ajar-
Nearer yet to where you linger
Closer yet 10 where you are,
With his ice, Ice, ice,
For which you have signaled twice,
And for which. you're mildly waiting.
With q thirst that's aggravatingi
And yet grows and grows apace s'1.'
Underneath your yearning face!
Now he's Coming-there!- turning
And your parching throat is burning!
Heavens! Has he quite passed by you
Will the bellboy yet defy you,
AS you venture on swear
AS you yank your towsled hair?
See! he's stopping in the hallway
Shall you call him in the bawl way,
Or just whisper gently, boy,
Hand me that ere liquid ioy!"
While you're standing, all excited,
Half In fear, half delighted.
Poking out your night-capped head,
And for water nearly dead,
Once again the merry tinkle
Rings from out the pitchered sprinkle.
Once again the bellboy huiries,
And from room to room he scurries.
Leaving there and there glad ice
That for dozens would suffice.
"Boy!" you holTer. madly, fuming-
Cant you see where am rooming?
That's my water-bring 1t here!
That's my draw Of liquid cheer!"
" 'Taint!" the bellboy quick retorting.
Sends wour wits with fiends consorting
Till on lunaey you border
"Youse bells two days out O. order!"

MOST EXCLUSIVE CLUB.

L. A. d. Wilson, of Minneapolis,
now lying at the City Hospital with
an injured spine, which has paralyzed
him from his waist to his toes, has
Joined the ''Rroken Back" Club.
This organization which is probably
the most unique body in the United
States, has now 120 members, and It's
roll Is rapidly increasing. " was
founded last December by James w.
Patterson, a newspaper man, known
from the Pacific coast to New Yorh
City.
Mr.. Patterson has been lying in a
water bed at the County Hospital in
Chicago six months. He received his
injury by fall. He is paralyzed from
the fourth rib down, and his body Is
encased in plaster cast His mind
Is clear and he has free use of his
hands and arms
Mr.. Patterson's brain was too active
and healthy in tone to permit him
to lie supinely in bed and beinoan his
fate. He found that there were sew
eral other patients in the hospital who
were suffering from similar afflic-
tion. He found out their names and
the numbers of their wards from tho
doctors and nurses and wrote each
one of them letter. A cOrrespon-
dence was started which proved in
teresting to all who participated in It,,
and from them the idea of the club
sprang.
At first tho membership was con-
fined to hospitals in Chicago. but the
club now has members In New York.
Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland ami
Minneapolis. The doctors heartily en-
dorse the plan. as they say that the
occupation of the minds of their pa
tients over the affairs of the club give
them a more cheerful spirit and tends
to prolong their lives.
The constitution and bylaws of the
club were drawn up by Mr.. Patterson
and contain a number of unique feat
ures. Here are some of them:
This club shall be known as the
Broken Back Club of America.
"No one shall be allowed to become
a member who is able to move a mus
Gle In his body below the eleventh
rib.
Race, sex. age, previous condition
iof servitude-Holice or otherwise
turpitude or morality shall be no bar
to nor premium upon membership.
AhO SoiaOht VI SiC NAoO SAoAA w
the r.amDer whose paralysis extends
to the highest rib
Every member shall write a letter
once week which shall be sent to
the secretary, and by that officer for
warded to every other member. The
letters must be cheerful In tone, and
any new amusement or occupation
suggested to sufferers from broken
back will be heartily welcomed"
At present members Of the club are
considering whether or not they will
adopt the following as part Of the
constitutions:
Death to the healthy and strong IL
disaster. Death to us Is blessing
When a member of the club dies l
shall therefore be the duty of the othel
members to rejoice not to sorrow"
That the affairs Of the club are 9

DAN PATCH BEATS
HIS SIRE'S Time
Black Cecil Is Said to be Raced
Out.-WeIty's Horses Will
Start at Salem.

Dan Patch, the unbeaten son Of
Joe Patchen, 2:01 IA, started at Col
umbus Saturday to beat the record
of his sire and paced the mile in
200 3-4, and McHenry, his driver,
slowed him up on the last hundred
yards of the mile. The first half
was done in / minute. 1t is claimed
that had the horse been driven out
he would have beaten the worlds
record held by Star Pointer Of
1:59 ga.
BORALMA WAS HURT.
The $4,000 match race between
Lord Derby and Boralma ended in a
victory for Lord Derby. 1t was trot-
ted at Hartford, Connecticut, Satur-
day, the best time being 2:08. Each
horse won a heat, but in the third
Bora'ma pulled up lame, and 1t was
found that she had cut herself in
scoring. Lord Derby went over the
course and raked in the big purse.
AS TO BLACK CECIL
A habitue of the half-mile tracks
is authority for the statement that
Black Cecil, the renowned little pac-
ing mare, Is raced out. Her defeat
Aoot WVSh dl HhTOu caused no llLJl6
bit talk and some charged that she
was not being driven to win. It is
declared, however, by a man who 10
in position to know that the money
of her owner was down on her and
that she was being driven to help
her baekcr's cash. H. J. F. went a
great race when he took the measure
OF the black mare and 1t may mean
the passing of the little whirlwind.
She was started this season at New
burg and has been going 1t ever since.
Sometimes she has been raced twice
in week and has been a good thing
for the Deibels. If she was forced
to retire till next year, they would
be ahead as the result of her good
work to date.
WALTERS WILL START.
Allie Walters will start two OF
John c. Welty's horses in the races
at Salem. He thinks that they are
good enough to win in the green
classes. This will make the races
there of local interest to Cantonians
