Queer English Custom.

Persons aspiring to become baillff a,

a curious and somewhat unpleasant or
deal. Before the election the various
candidates ride up in a body to horse
pond and, there dismounting from theil
steeds, plunge into the water and strug

The music Of a brass band cheers then

the reign of King John, who once paid
a visit to the town In 1910 and found
no citing welcome prepared for him.
The blame of this state of unprepared.
ness was fastened on the luckless bal
lifts, who were promptly thrown into
the horse pond by royal command.

How Northern Indians secure veni-
son For Their Lnrders.

A New Yorker who lives small frac-
ton of the time In the city. being usual
ly long distances away In pursuit of
game, tells o. the method pursued by
the Indians of British Columbia in TAX
Ing deer. They have evolved system,
this huntsman says. that shows prac-
teal skill and sympathy and knowledge
of natural conditions. He says:
"rhe Indians to begin with, do not
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting.
They 20 for deer MS n housekeeper goes

In British Columbia. at any rate--they
don't go often. Salmon is plentiful in
the rivers and is easily caught. so why
chase animals when they can secure
fish? 1t is something as II is in New
foundland, where | went n couple of
seasons ago. There the prevailing fish,
as, you might say, Is cod, and, though
there is no end to the variety of edible
fish that can be taken, the natives new
er think of eating anything else. Cod
Is plentiful, and they form the habit,
suppose. This Is so ingrained TINT they
call Goldfish fish simply. The genus is
divided into cod and the rest of fish.
"Well, when the British Columbia In
dian makes up his mind for venlson, he
goes at II systemn, ally and without
sentiment. A group of half dozen or
ten men split and take either end of
valley. Then they proceed along the
mountain slope from the two ends to
the center. They choose the sheltered
side of the valley ON which the deer
seek TO escape the wind. Each party
covers the mountain side. some near the
foot and some Mt the top and others be-
tween the lines, keeping abreast by an
initiated owl hoot. The deer, on wind
ing pursuit. have the trick OF leaping
away down the slope, unlike the goats,
which go up, and thus between the two
approaching parties they are swept to-
gether at the middle Of the valley. A
good sized herd will thus be killed Off
and the Indians supplied for many
weeks by two or three days exertion."

A Hat Tragedy.

Not long ago lady was choosing
hat, with the usual uncertainty of mind
as to the kind Of hat she wanted or
whether, indeed, she wanted hat at
all. After trying on nearly every mod
el in the shop she pounced with glee on
one she had overlooked. "Here's some
thing prettyw she said. "Why did you
not show me this before" Without
waiting for an answer she appealed to
her patient friend "There's some style
about this, isn't there? How do look 2"
The friend distinctly smiled. 'Tt
makes you look a hundred, and it's
very dowdy," she said.
The other tried the hat at another an
gle. ut is rather dowdy," she admit
ted at this juncture. Perhaps I won't
risk 1t after ALL"
A voice from behind her made its
third attempt to gain a hearing. "If
you've quite done with my hat" 1t said
very bitterly, II should rather like to
put 1t on!'

II Made History.

Such slight circumstance as a glass
Of wine changed the history Of France
for nearly twenty years. Louis Phi
llppe, king Of the French, had son,
the Duke of Orleans, and heir to the
throne, who always drank only cer-
tain number of glasses of wine, be-
cause even one more made him tipsy.
On a memorable morning he forgot to
count the number of his glasses and
took one more than usual. When en-
tering his carriage, he stumbled, fright
ening the horses and causing them to
run. In attempting to leap from the
carriage his head struck the pavement,
and he soon died. That glass of wine
overthrew the Orleans rule, confiscated
their property of f20,000,OOO and sent
the whole family into exile.

SMILE AS you GO.
Everybody Loves the Man with q
shining Countenance.

Brighter than the most brilliant of
gems. electrifying with radiance that
does not dazzle so much as II calls
forth reflection of brightness. is the
shining countenance.
The soul of each man Is sun OF In
finite energy and glorious light. But
how few allow themselves to sbinel
How few faces are lit up with their
possible divine life!
Take your thoughts away from the
swamps of fear and evil, center them
on the ideals of faith and love, on good
intentions for others, and your counte-
nance is at once illuminated.
Look IN mirror. and you shall see
that my words are true. Absolve your
self of all troubles. be peaceful, be
still. cease all your replning; then your
countcnance will shine.
That such an instantaneous physical
change can take place by change Of
thought suggests what power there is
IN renewed habit Of thought, n habit
created by repeated conscious repose-
full efforts of calm, concentrated think
ing In line with the ideal.
Not only is the countenance changed
by bright thought. but the whole
body. The atoms are so many vortices
of ether, and the central force Of each
is the mind.
A shining countenance is n smiling
countenance. Look on life rightly, and
you cannot but be pleased. Then you
will smile, you will laugh with joy, be-
cause of life's possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights of power. You will
reach them easier II you will but smile
as you go.
There is every reason why the heart
should be glad. and your love for 9TH
ers will show this so. This Is the sun
shine that expresses itself in your
countenance. The mere fact of loving
drives away fear and darkness. All
false conceptions Of duty, the conclu-
sions of a biased reasoning, vanish at
the appearance of love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days
and every one loves the man whose
soul or individual sun shines through
his face.
Such n man will be trusted wherever
he is. He is an interpreter Of life; he
will intuitively grasp the meaning Of
things; he will be welcomed every.
where; he will recognize all and he will
be recognized by all; he will be re-
celved as the Son Of Man, true exem-
plar of his race. n leader In the evolu-
tion Of humanity; he will be an encour'
agement and an incentive to all.
A shining countenance is first Of all
an immediate phenomenon expressive
of the proof of right thinking, and the
same source of this illustration con-
tains the potency Of completely chang
ing character, body, surroundings, of
influencing the person, the community,
the race. of issuing forth from its in.
