Amendment No. 10.

President G. E. Byrd of the

He says: "The adoption of this

Canada, the Eveless Eden.

Canada is winning the unenviable rep
utation of an Eveless Eden. The men
outnumber the women. and even immi-
grafton does not mend matters. for il is
figured that of the 1900 new settlers
who have arrived in Canada since the
first of the year not more than s per
cent. of them have been women. of this
s per cent the majority were married
women In the western part of the Do
minion the lack of women is q serious
handicap to the development of the
country. The settlers can not find wives.
and as woman plays just as important
a part as man in the drama of il new
country, the government of Canada is
worried over the unenviable situation,
The government is satisfied with the
class of immigrants that have arrived
this year. They are said to be a sturdy
lot of men, few of whom are past IS.
and most of whom are between 20 and
% years, and many are fairly well to
do. A large number are from the north
of Ireland, many from Scotland. and
the rest from the crowded centers of
England. The government frankly add
mits that the dominion cannot supply
wives for these new settlers and advises
them to send to the old country for
mates. Now, if Massachusetts were
only in Canada the problem would be
partly solved, for in the OLD Bay State
the women largely outnumber the men,

Race Between Motor Boat and Deer.

f. S. Peck of this city and L. \.
Peck of East Haddam had an exciting
race yesterday with a doe in the river
opposite the Champion House at East
Haddam.
The PeckS We're running up the river
in their fast motor boat when they saw
a doe swimming out of the mouth of the
Salmon river and headed across the
Connecticut toward the west shore. The
river is very wide at this point and the
occupants of the boat decided to catch
the deer before she reached the Tyler
vile shore. The deer saw their inten-
ton and swan with great speed. but
the boat finally drew alongside SO that
the occupants could touch the animals
head. As soon as the doe touched bot
tom near the Tylervile shore she gave a
tremendous jump, then leaped fence
and sped up across the railroad and dis
appeared in the woods.
Last summer some people who We're
cruising near Essex saw Il buck swim
ming the river, and on drawing along
side one of the occupants tried TO grasp
the animals horns. Thercupon the deer
lifted IL front hoof from the water and
gave the boatman lunge i'll the chest
which nearly showed him into the water.

ENGLISH woMANs STRANGE JOKE.
Package She Called Valuable Surprised
Lawyers and Bankers When Opened.

There is such a thing as carrying a
joke too far. Six years ago an English
woman who was travelling in Canada de-
posted in the vaults of Toronto trust
company a parcel carefully secured with
a number Of imposing seals. 1t was I'M
derstood that the parcel contained Jew
els of great value, and therefore it was
guarded with Jealous care.
4 few weeks ago the English woman
died, and clause in her will made men,
ton of the deposit i'll trust III Toronto.
After due process of law it was ordered
that the seals be broken in the Canad-
ian city. Heirs in the old land and one
in far distant point in Canada sent
their respective lawyers to be present
at the opening of the valuable package.
On the day appointed the lawyers as
sembled in private office of the trust
company. Here is a correspondents de-
sCription of the scene that followed:
Red seals on the outside of the bundle
were first to be broken then an array
of green cOlOred seals We're encountered.
After this wrapping came fold after fold
of paper. Then the lawyers saw an
obong pasteboard box. also carefully
sealed. The excitement was almost in
tense Beads OF perspiration stood out
on the learned brOws of the privileged
few present. With the unfolding of
each successive wrapping around the box
they expected to see the glitter of gold
and the Iuster of diamonds. AT last
with nervous fingers. it was opened, and
the treasure seemed near at hand. Two
more folds OF paper We're undone. and
several pairs of legal eyes saw an in
nocent and faded pair of corsets.'
Nothing is known of the motive for
leaving the faded pair of corsets in n
trlSt deDoSit Vaulr We may as.,,,,,o
that the English woman was eccentric
and wished to play a prank on her rela
tives If so the joke was a successful
though she may not be able to appre-
ciate it. There is material for a novel
in this incident. Wikie Collins or
Charles Reade would have based nm
exciting three decker" on it. and had
Conan Doyle foolishly decided not 10
write more Sherlock Holmes stories he
could expand the episode into a most
battling detective problem. - Rochester
