Out in the Muskoga logging country a
successful minister of the gospel must
comply with long list of requirements.
He must not only possess more book and
spiritual knowledge than his parishion-
ers; he must know at least enough about
farming and logging and the tanbark in
dustry to discuss these matters intelli-
gently Above all, he must appear to be-
Iieve that he knows nothing at all.
But when the Muskoka residents do
take minister to their hearts they are
loath to lose sight of him; apt also, to
take it out Of the man who succeeds
him, slightly. Which was the reason why
Archer Gallupin, the young man who as
sumed the spiritual care of about twen-
ty-eight square miles of territory when
Providence and the bishop saw fit to re-
move good old Father Andrews to To-
ronto, wondered why the Muskoka coun-
try people had been described to him as
so hospitable and warm-hearted and
kindly.
Everything went against the young
minister from the beginning. He was
just 'out'' from England to commence
with-a delicate younger son sent out to
Canada for the sake of the weak heart
which bore testimony to the failing
health of his mothers family: he had
a positive manner, for a second disad-
vantage. For a third, the light trotter
and lighter cart which he insisted upon
purchasing, against the unanimous advice
of his scattered parishioners, utterly
failed to meet with the dire disaster pre-
dicted for its first encounter with the
mud of the rainy seasons; fourthly-but
the list is too long for recounting.
The inevitable happened to the young
minister, of course. He found the first
1J.,a
usualzcourse of the green Englishman,
he declined to protect himself sufficiently
and acquired a severe chest trouble, two
frozen ears and a frosted nose, which
cleaned brilliantly all the next sum-
mer as a result of his foolishness; he
gloried in the first summer, slhvered
through the first autumn, and only nerv-
ed himself to face the second winter by
sheer courage and dreams of the second
spring. He fell in love with the belle
of the Rippleville center and was snub-
bed and tormented and detested by all
the young men of that locality in conse-
quence. He approached the goodbye

and that in other respects their condition
was discredit to ST. Paul. A COPY of

Dish than this same miscalled little ami
NAL, for it isn't a rat eny more than a
rabbit is, and not half as much as a
squirrel is. and if people had called 1t by
its right Indian name of musquash, in
stead Of cOrrupting it into muskrat, it

that pass. We have no beaver in Mary
land, so it has no place in this argument
But don't makesany mistake about the
muskrat. It's the name that gives it the
black eye. You don't want any ordinary
cook to fool with your muskrat. though.
An ordinary cook is not fit to cook
muskrat, and consequently it is always
good in Maryland, where there are no
ordinary cooks. But the most expert cook
in all Maryland for muskrat is an old
negro woman in Dorchester county She
is the best cook in every way 1 ever
knew, as q matter of fact, but she can
get up a dish of muskrat stew that will
make the man who goes to scott remain
to feast, and the man who didn't know
what he was served with to want to
have the recipe for that dish of terrapin
OF course, it is only during a certain
season of the year that muskrat is at the
head of all things eatable. And that is
just the season, too, when terrapin is at
it's best. Strange isn't it?
Yes; it's too bad the way terrapin are
disappearing. Just like the buffalo and
the wild pigeon. And in sympathy with
it, somehow, the muskrat is getting
scarce, too. But I say nothing.
Il know this, though. There isn't any
bigger demand for muskrat skins now
than there was ten years ago to thin the
muskrats out so. And there isn't any
falling off in the supply of terrapin stew,
scarce as terrapin are, and it doesn't cost
any more now than it did when terra
pin were plentiful. But 1 say nothing!"

n logging Camp Zero.
BY ETHEL M. COLSON.

! when, from a logging camp peg to hang
jokes on he was transformed to a logging
camp hero. The manner of his apothe-
osis was as follows:
1t was the week before Christmas. and
the young minister, making his Christmas
visits to his parishioners, had traversed
many miles of hard-packed snow in the
light cutter which had replaced the de-
bated cart. He drove I'D the ''side road
to the Hardness farm Just about noon
time He had promised himself to &C
cept the inevitable dinner invitation and
to get thoroughly warm. During the sec
ond winter the unfortunate "greenies''
are usually "bOne cold' perpetually, and
Archer was proving no exception to the
rule. But the young minister was not
destined to warm himself at the Hark-
ness fire that day.
The barnyard was deserted. The kitch-
en-, into which he presently let himself
after repeated knockings, was empty as
well. From the front room opening
out of it came a sound of sobs and trou-
bled feminine voices. Stretched out on
the big bed in the corner lay Ben Hark-
ness, the youngest son of the household,
white and unconscious from the force of
the wrongly felled tree which had fallen
upon him at his work of taking out
logs from the family bark lot" He
had dragged himself home, only to faint

Toronto for day or two, the older boys
up at the Mclnness camp: Mrs. Hank

Nell's summons, and there was only the
pretty object Of the young minister's adj
Grafton to care for her mother and
brother and to summon the doctor. some
how.
'sTn get the DOCTOR" said young Archer,
naturally.
The grateful look which Nell gave
made his heart beat joyously, but it
didn't strengthen the tired horse, which
was presently speeding back toward
Bracken, as it did the tired driver. Half
way to The village the young minister
was compelled to ask shelter for his
horse, and go on without him. He COW
cred most of the intervening four miles
on the run, and arrived at Bracken all
but exhausted. Yet back he would go
with the doctor. And on the whole, it
was well that he did
There was a fighting chance for
Ben's recovery, so said the doctor,
presently, but Ben didn't think so,
upon recovering consciousness, and he
wanted his father and brothers. The
doctor would telegraph the elder Hark-
ness from the next village, but the Me-
Inness camp lay sixty miles out Of the
course he must follow.
There's a very sick woman I must
see, right in the opposite direction he
told Mrs. Hardness. Il came here first

. ENGLAND's WOMAN FARMER


One Of England's foremost farmers IS
q woman, the Hon. Mrs. Murray Smith.
On her estates at Gurnley Hall Leices-
tel shire. she raises some of the finest
jersey cattle that are bred anywhere.
She is an early riser and is up and about
among her men as soon as the sun is
IN sight. All of the details of the work
connected with the herd are under her
own management. All of the improve
ments which can contribute to the well
being of the animals are made at her
direction The latter receive the best of
care and have the best Of food and the
most comfortable quarters AS a result
they have taken many prizes.
One cow, LORNA. which carried off
the milking prize at Tring and the but
tee certificate at the Bath and West of
England show. gives 800 gallons of milk
yearly. Mrs. Smiths rule is not to keep
any COW which yields less than 600 gal
Ions of milk year.
She herself attends to all of her cor
respondence and the record keeping in
connection with the animals. In her herd
beck is kept the pedigree of each ami
mai and the daily milk returns and the
amount of butter each yields in a week
are also entered on a record.

And a saddle horse it had to be, any
way because the only Hardness team
not up at the McInness camp for the
winter was in Bracken, waiting to
bring Mr.. Hardness home when he re-
turned from Toronto. and all the
neighbors were in similar case-both for
horses and men. So the young minister

THACKERAY'S FAREWELL DINNER

Before sailing for Liverpool Thackeray
gave a farewell dinner at Delmonico's,,
then on the corner of Broadway and
Chambers street, opposite A. T. Stewart
& Co.'S. Thirty-two guests sat down with
him, including Reed and several other
Philadelphia friends, who came to New
York to attend the entertainment The

night Of it." and he remembered that the
party included Cozzens, Cranch, Curtis,
DAILY, Dana, Charles A. Davis, Duer,
Hackett, Halleck, Hicks, Charles King,
Robinson, Taylor, the two Wallacks,
Ward and Young. Alas!
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
''Thackeray was in fine spirits" writes
George William Curtis, "and when the
cigars were lighted he said that there
should be no speechmaking, but that
everybody, according to the old rule OF
festivity, should sing song or tell a
story. James Wallack was one of the

result was that Miss Jennie Pinch sec
