The various breeds of hounds of to-

The various breeds of hounds of to-
day are called hounds because they are
the present survivors of the time when
all hunting dogs were used to hound
game. In the early hunting days of
England every dog that was used to
accompany the hunt was selected main-
ly for his speed and endurance. There
were hounds that were supposed to
follow the game by scent, and others
which were supposed to sight it long
way off, but all were expected to be
able to run the game down. Cense=
while the name of hound
or hund in the accent Saxon, was first
used for all kinds of dogs, it finally
came to denote hunting dogs only;
that is why we call our running dogs
hounds today, such as grayhounds,
hounds, bearhounds, deerhounds etc

Margaret's mamma told the little girl
that she must go 10 bed early, as she

Margaret very obediently consented
to prepare for bed. When her dress

Lona.Ranoe Ancestry.

A double succession of very late
marriages brought the Hon. Lowell
Coke, now ten years old, into this
world 140 years after the birth of his
grandfather. This was William Coke,
who gave his name to the billycock
hat, and was born in 1854 and became
first Earl of Leicester. He married
a Keppel in 1922, being sixty-eight
years old, and left three sons. One
of them, the present Earl, now eighty
one years of age, became the father
of the Hon. Lovel when he was sew
enty-one years old.

OF THE DAY !

As was amply demonstrated last year.
this section of the country particu-
larly suffers in the case of coal FAM
inc, and the fact that prices are still
higher than normal, In view Of the
fact that the quantity Of coal mined
In this country was greater than ever
before, shows that some check Is need
ed on the rapacity of the coal-mining
and coal-carrying roads and the indie
pendent operators"
The reason that the anthracite coal
trust was willing that its friends in
Congress should repeal the duty on
hard coal was that there Is no such
thing us true anthracite coal imported
The tariff protection was, therefore.
worthless to the trust. The case OF
bituminous coal is different; a very,
great quantity of soft coal Is import

Vancouver TINT completes in the mar.

The Republican leaders have, there,

the duty on coal to come before Con-
gress. The trusts certainly have ex-
traortinary influence with the party in
power.
