or disposed to concern themselves over
such problems as that of annexation.
England is not in the habit Of giving
dependency or colony absolute inde-.
rendence for the msre asking OF it,
nor would it supinely submit to the an
nexation of Canada to this country.
Is it likely that the United States will
engage in war with England over the
possession of Canada? There will have
to be a grand overturning of the
worlds affairs before such a thing can
happen, and the signs or cause of such
an overturning are not to be seen on
the horizon. England holds Canada as
firmly as it does Australia or India,
perhaps more firmly than it does
either of them. and would as soon
think of abandoning one as another.
1t is probable that Canada will belong

of destiny will have to make many
revolutions before it comes about.
We are not saying that the annexa-

doubt it would be a splendid thing for
Canada. But the desire for the ac-
QUESTION is by no means general in the
United States; it exists in still smaller
degree in Canada; while England

Last week several of the Lubec
sporting element, accompanied by their
fox hounds, went on a hunt in the west
ern section of the town. and on reach
ing the point of destination, the dogs
were soon noslng around and their deep
bay soon notified their owners that
Reynard was reused form his lair and
out for dash. Each man sought his
favorlte point of advantage, ready for
a quick shot. and as the deep tones of
the hounds sounded nearer and nearer,
eager eyes We're gazing in different di-
rections for sight Of the fox, who soon
made it's appearance to one of the
hunters and in the tWinkling of an eye
fell dead a short distance away. Hear
ing the shot and calls from the suc-
cessful hunter, the others were soon on
the spot, and after the comments
natural on such an occasion. they pro-
eeeded to divest Reynard of his glossy
hide. The process of skinning was
nearly completed and the hide about
to be removed from the head of the
animal. when the mouth suddenly
opened and caught the thumb and two
fingers of one of the hunters in a death
grip. With howl of pain, he called
to his mates to pry the animals mouth
open, which was done after con-
siderable difficulty, and the hunter
wears the marks on his hand, proving
Thereby what Lubec fox can do after

There was keen rivalry among the vari-

man, got around ahead of his rival
Jones, of the north end. He explained
all about the splendid equipment of his

for ice. She answered that she had
been thinking Of buying ice from Mr..
Smith, she mad understood that he had
the larger ice house, carried a corre-

doubtless, the more satisfactorily sup
