Hunter Kicked by a Moose.

One of the hunters treasures which
Charles Linklater, the trapper from Bal
sam bay, brought with him from the
north to Winnipeg, is mammoth moose
hide entire. The animal was shot by
L.nklater and will be long remembered
by him. 1t was an enormous brute, and
when 1t fell at the shot the trapper ran
up to give it finishing touch with the
knife. AS he stopped to do so the beast
struck him viciously in the stomach
with its hoof. Linklater fell back un-
conscious, and he was taken to camp by
his pals, He was severely injured in
ternally, and for six months he tossed
in his bed. He is even now only con-
valescent and watchful of his health. "A
dying moose" the trapper said "can
kick just about twice as hard as lively
horse"

PEER TEACHES BOYS.
FRIEND OF KING EDWARD CON-
DUCTS PRIVATE SCHOOL.
Marquis Of Normandy, Left Poor by
His Father, Preferred Humble
Work to Contracting a Mar
riage for Wealth.
London (Eng.) Special.

The marquis of Normandy is a distin-
guished member of the British peerage
who has become distinguished largely by
doing what, to most noblemen of his po-
sition, would have been an impossible"
thing For, when at his fathers death
IA years ago he inherited the title, with
a financial balance on the wrong side
of the ledger, instead of considering the
possibilities OF espousing an heiress, he
adopted the rather unusual plan of
earning the money necessary to keep
up his position, and to the great hor-
ror OF some OF his noble friends bios
somed out as a pedagogue, an occupa-
ton in which he already had had some
experience in private way.
His schoolrooms were a suite of
apartments in the old Gothic castle Of
Mulgraye. which he had inherited; his
pupils were the sons Of few of the
neighboring country gentlemen, and.
with this modest start, the marquis
founded an institution which, when he
discontinued it just before his marriage
few days ago. was one of the most
successful "preps" in England for the
great schools of Elton and Harrow
The peer-schoolmaster is also cler-
gyman. Thirty-ive years ago he was
ordained in small Yorkshire parish
and shortly afterward began to employ
his spare time for the hobby in which
he was most misunderstanding
young boys. He established hts first
school while acting as chaplain in the
little town Of St Reno. Then when he
received a small vicarage in Manchester
he still found time for his hobby, and a
year or so before he succeeded his IA
Their he founded small school for boys
in the little village which lies but a
mile from Mulgrave castle.
The school which saved Mulgrave
castle from the real estate market, and
the first one the marquis conducted for
profit, became fashionable soon after
its foundation, in spite of the hesitation
some Of the fashionable folk showed in

a carpenter shop was attached to the
establishment.
Fifteen years ago the marquis was ap-
pointed a canon of Windsor and has
spent a part Of each year at the pic
turesque little home in the royal
borough. Queen Victoria was one OF
his best friends. taking great interest
in his school, and his priestly office has
been perpetuated by King Edward,
whom the marquis often accompanies
on shooting expeditions in the great
park at Windsor
