DEAR ATE,
THEY PICKED.
BRUIN FEASTED WHILE THE BOYS
SUPPLIED THE BERRIES.
DOG WAS ACTING STRANGE
An Investigation Reveals A Circumstance
That Ends the Amusement.

An exciting moment was eXper-
fenced by two Sonestown boys, Her.
man Stackhouse, aged II, and Glen
Cook, aged s years, while on the
North mountain one day last week
picking berries. That the picking
might be made easier in the thick
brush they carried with them small
pals which when filled would be
emptied into large pail which was
placed along the path where conven-
lent to be reached. They had with
them dog with which they amused
themselves when not engaged in
picking berries. Suddenly the dog
came tearing through the brush to
where the boys were and showed
evidence of being frightened at some-
thing. The dogs strange action In
wanting to engage in an encounter
with something that it greatly fear
ed aroused the curiosity of the boys
and they decided to investigate the
cause. They were brave boys and
showed good courage until they
reached the place where their berries
were stored and there to their great
surprise saw Bruin leisurely devour-
ING the fruits of their labor. The
thief seeing that he was discovered
took hasty flight and the boys lost
no time in beating retreat for hasty
hOmeMard Journey.

Edward Beaupre. the biggest man in
 the world. was ore of the sights on Broadway in New York, the other day. Beaupre does not enjoy his unique dis tinctiOn. Being independently wealthy and intelligent and refined as well he is not a sideshow sight. He stands 5 feet inches in height and weighs 3GS pounds. He wears a No. 8 hat and a 22 shoe. Beaupre weighed nine pounds
 when he was born. He was just like other babies until. at the aga Of 9. he began to grew with remarkable speed. His parents are Of normal size. He was feet 4 when 9 years old. Now it takes thirteen yards of cloth to make him a suit of clothes. He has two brothers and four sisters. none of whom is remarkable for size except one of the boys, aged 9, who Is feet S inches and growing at a rate at which he will soon catch up to his big brother.

few plain words upon the latter aspect Of it.
 "On Saturday one Halifax hotel low cred the record by displaying two American fiags-one of them on it's stan and another out of very prominent window-but not a single piece of British bunting.

It was torn to shreds. and trampled under foot by the mob, and its owner only saved his life by promptly seizing and waving the Stars and Stripes. at the suggestion of a friend.

Here. as soon as summer opens. q lot Of mean-spirited purveyors and keepers Of things to sell thrust the american flag under our noses at every temptlble and making us ridiculous in the eyes of ourselves and our visitors.

 We have the greatest possible re- spect for the American flag, and what 1t symbolizes. We understand and like sympathy with them as good ana friendly neighbors. Understanding and respecting them, We would naturally have them understand ard respect us. They can do neither the one nor the other while We allow fawning trades people among us to wave the Ameri- can flag over our heads.
