Among the items are: Twelve white
robes of the temple, IL robes OF the

AS means of distributing the
articles mentioned THE REPUBLICAN
has hit upon the idea of permitting
subscribers to estimate ON THE
NUMBER OF WORDS WHICH
WILL APPEAR ON THE FRONT
PAGE OF ITS ISSUE OF DECEM-
Der 10TH.
The paper will be made up as
usual and the front page of that issue
will contain such reading matter as Is
naturally its portion. We mean by
this that there will be no scheme car
ricd out to limit or increase its con-
tents to any certain number OF words,
The editor will not know what will
appear on that page at that time and
no employe of the paper can possibly
know before o'clock of the evening of
December 18th, and as THE CON
TEST ENDS ON DECEMBER 18th
AT NOON, and no estimates will be
received after that time. the contest
will be fair as IL is possible to make

ENGLISH IDEAS OF CANADA.
Life In the West Not What the Gals
nists Had Pictured.


Curious accounts come to hand OF
the colonists who went to western
Canada. A proportion OF them, as
might have been expected, entertained
extraordinary notions Of what life in
the wild west would be, and the ma
jority of them seem to have armed
themselves with as many guns as they
would have needed to fight Indians
twice week.
Unfortunately some Of these warlike
individuals had not taken the prelimi-
nary step of learning to shoot, and the
air seems to have echoed with the dis
charge of their guns let OF In pure
wantonness. so that the police had TO
interfere to check their enthusiasm.
Those of them who were sportsmen
were genuinely disappointed. as the
buffalo has entirely disappeared, and
as to the redskin of Fenimore Cooper's
novel, he exists no more. since the In
dian of to-day saturates himself with
gin, wears the same clothing as the
white man. and goes to church iegu
larly.-Sketch.

KNEW THE VALUE OF TEARS.
How Little Piece Of Femininity Dis.
comfited Boy Enemies.

The eternal feminine knows at
very early age the value of tears in
softening masculine obdurateness. A
little girl of five was plodding along
to school when she saw three little
boys laying for her" with a pile
of fresh.mown grass. She was little,
alone. and knew she stood no chance
of passing these naughty bits of mas
culinity without trouble. So she re-
sorted to ruse. Putting her arm over
her eyes, she walked slowly along in
grief-stricken attitude. The boys
hesitated. One started forward with
his arm full of the grass, but the 9th.
err two grabbed him. saying:
stop. Jimmy, can't yer see she's

did not come up to what the sultan ex'
pected. whats the matter?' asked

he thought the beard was necessarily

The Prince OF Monaco, who was pre-

delivering his lecture at the Royal In

first of living oceanographers. When
the British Association last met In

large audiences to hear his accounts
of his experiments upon the routes
followed by the waters of oceans them
selves, as distinguished from the voy
ayers upon them. The gambler al

tied to Edward L. Henry.

Edward l.. Henry. the Academician,
Is considerably over sixty years old,
but his youthful smooth face, aside
from his gray hair, has deceived many
persons. He is an inveterate JOKER
and also exceedingly absent minded.
This is an actual experience he had
at the Century club not long ago. 1t
was reception, and Mr.. Henry was
very busy talking to a fellow artist
when something irritated his ankle.
He stopped down, lifted the edge OF
the bottom of one of the other man

other mans ankle just above the pat
ent leather tie, and replacing the gar
ment, went on talking, wholly obliv'
ious of his action and apparently per-
