of pork and scattered its contents upon the road.
 On the Upper Gatineau, Barney Moore, the foreman of a shanty which was short of hay, went to beaver meadow a few miles away to replenish the supply. The stack contained about five tons, and stood about eight feet above the surface of the snow.
 Near by he noticed the hoofs and head of young moose lying in the snow, but not being a hunter in any sense of the word he paid no particular attention to the signs which would have told great deal to an expert huntsman. As the night was fine and Barney was tired, he ate a biscuit and packed himself we'll under the hay to catch few hours sleep.
 He was awakened by something jump ing upon him, and instinctively threw out his arms with all his great strength to dislodge 1t. A loud bowling ensued and the man threw off his covering and investigated.
 The noise proceeded, he found, from the snow at the bottom of the stack, where gaunt old wolf was lifting up it's voice in protest at the unceremonious manner in which 1t had been turned out of bed.
 :. Barney killed the wolf and carried the body to the shanty, where to his sur- prise he found that although almost as big as young steer, its weight was only just over 40 pounds
 On the Jean de Terre river, for the firat time i'll the history of numbering, wolves dashed open shanty door one dark night while the men were sleeping. Four greedy creatures came tumbIng, in as the door fell and stood for an in- stant stupefed i'll the tirelight.
 Each o+ the 40 men in tue hunks raised a. shout at the sudden invasion, and no doubt the cowardly brutes would have turned tail hastily at the sound had not one of them.fastened it's teeth in quar- ter of beef. Immediately there was terrific fight on among them.
 An Indian runner, White Duck. hap pened to be in the shanty that night. To him the wolves meant peltry and gain. So, jumping along the upper tier of hunks, he sprang to the doorway and quickly lifted the door into position and set barrel of flour against it to keep it closed. Then he killed the wolves at his ease From their famished appearance it was judged that many days had passed since their last square meal.

most side by side, fringed by woods all around.
 Questioned as to the report. Rev. MT. Whitaker looked distressed. He took painsgto deny that there had been any dissension in his congregation and said the stories of "ritualistic practices" as 1t had been phrased, were absurd. They must have been started by some evil designed person. 7 he said, and would say no more.
 As a man Of the cloth he did not feel not feel himself privileged to speak. But in the vi; SC the gossip was plentiful and so unanimous that 1t seemed as though it might contain truth. From this it appeared that MT. Whitaker had accepted the charge there about ten years ago.
 He was now man of about 50. tall spare and ascetic looking. With him came his wife, who Is about ten years his senior. She was Miss Sanders, of Albany, and was very wealthy. Even now, it Is said, she owns blocks of buildings in the capital city. For time the rector had the support of some wealthy New Workers who made their country homes at Norwood. They maintained the church until, as the years passed, death took them one by one and left no one to fill their places.
 Meantime the younger element of the small population of the village learned that the church was the best place to meet one another and enjoy those few diversions that life in such a restricted community offers. Harmless as these trifling pleasures were, so the story goes, the rector objected to them as friv- olities unbecoming a house of divine worship.
 For awhile the situation remained as it was, his protests unheeded, but he was firm and the result was that of his congregation those who had not died quietly dropped away until. as he him. self admitted, only six were left and these do not often come to church. Af- f1icted as he was by the secession, the clergyman was true to his convictions He would not compromise. He still had his church and no one could be more de- voted to it than he and his@wife They found their consultations.
 MT. WhltCaker Is an OrganiSt and his wife, despite her age, has an unusu- ally good soprano voice. Sunday after Sunday, as regularly asit rolls around. they step, arm in arm, from the veranda of their house. cross the field which lies between it and the church and hold their services alone.
 Sometimes she will sing hymns as he plays and the resonance, made the greater by the surrounding emptiness, rolls out on the wintry winds and carries far across the hills. Often there is none else to hear. so secluded Is tho place. but should anyone happen to pass as the strains arise-whether it be one of tlfe few loyal or one of the rebels he or she will pause and listen silently until the song is ended.

Joke Was on Professor.

When Michael J. Fleming, now a prominent lawyer of Pottsville, Pa, was principal Of the Donaldson high school, few years ago, he had before him one day very bright boy, but who was hopelessly stumped by a problem in algebra. Prof. Fleming got angry. "You should be ashamed of yourself" he said. @2--. your age George Wash ington was a azs1eyor." The boy looked his instructor straight in the eye and replied "Yes, sir; and at your age he was president of the United States"

WOLVES ARE HUNGRY
DESPERATE EXPEDIENTs TO GET
 FOOD IN THE FAR NORTH.
Their Usual Supply Cut Of by Deep Snow - Lumbermen's Shanty Broken Into at Night by
 Starving Pack.

According to a New York Sun corre- spondent, writing from Lachine, Can., the long winter has been very hard upon the wolves. The snow is over four feet deep in the northern woods, and as there has been no rain nor any thaw to make crust it has been impossible for these sharks of the bush to move about freely.
 Red deer, their chief food, were evil dently warned by their instinct to pre- pare for an exceptionally hard season, and yarded, in every instance noted, in dense swamps, where browsing mate rial is abundant, so that there has been no need for them to leave their we'll trodden runways
 A guide named Beaudouin stumbled the other day upon yard of 37 deer, and three COW moose, not very far from Lake Coulonge. The deer were all thin, but looked healthy and strong.
 Fearing lest his snowshoe tracks should lead wolves to this fine herd of deer, Beaudouin retraced his steps for a few miles, taking care to keep 8 good distance from his actual path. Just at nightfall he made out an almost snow white wolf gingerly picking its steps, planting it's feet in the middle of the shoe print, just where the weight of the man had hardened the snow sufficiently to bear it's weight Beaudouin drew up close enough to plant a bullet through it's forequarters and heart.
 Up the Mattawa three teamsters found themselves pursued by seven wolves, which came up from the rear with such ferocity that, fearing for their lives, the men hastily broached barrel

RECTOR IN TROUBLE.
NEW JERSEY CLERGYMAN HAS
 ONLY ONE PARISHIoNER.
Minister Plays Organ and His Wife Sings Hymns and Listens to His Sermon-Strange State
 of Affairs.

Tn the wooded soIitudes of northern New Jersey, far from the busy haunts of men, a drama is being played, Whether it is comedy or tragedy de- bends upon the Eoint of view. No blare of boisterous trumpets accom panies it. Its only orchestra is the twfttering or birds on bare branches, it's only scenery the snow-clad hills and icy walks of that pastoral region.
 Norwood, little village on the banks of the Hudson, is the place, and the chief actor is one Arthur Whitaker, an Episcopal clergyman with church, but without congregation, and even the church is so remote from every activity of toe hamlet that 1t is not readily found except by those who know the way. Two persons only, perhaps, know rot alone how to find it but how to love it. They are the clergyman and his wife
 The other day there came from some vague source the story that Rev. MT. Whitaker was at war. with his flock be- cause of his ritualistic practices and that nearly all the memb bers of the congra- gation had seeded and joined the Pres ,byterian church, which is represented there by simple structure of frame on the border of the railroad.
 After much search the church and the home of its fockless pastor were found Norwood itself is one of those towns that lie concealed behind the little station house that does duty as railroad sta tion. It has not even the dignity of a town. Back in the hills lie few houses, the country residences of New Workers for the most part, and the whole popu1a- ton of the place is not more than 300.

Many remarkable small animals abound in Cape Colony. Among them is a gecko. called by the Dutch farmers ''gejte." whose large tail comes off with a slight touch, and remains jumping about on the ground, attracting the at tention of an enemy. while the animal itself meantime sinks away, and eventually grows new tail.

MARRIAGE MUSINGS.

The honeymoon sometimes reaches
its last quarter.
Marriage is woman's sphere and
mans hemisphere.
To the altar may be only fifty feet.
From it may be fifty years.
Some husbands are known by the
keys they are allowed to keep.
Love lights life's pathway, but for
practical purposes the gas stove has
advantages.
1t does not add to the joys Of the
wedding trip TO recall that there are
no Pullmans on the suburban sched-
ules.
The word "obey" sounds well in the
ceremony. There is always plenty Of

groom throughout the year.-Philadel-
