Many of the poor Beers in the Trans
vaal, by whom all the shooting that
is done is for the pot and not for sport,
have perfected a system of shooting
with the assistance of oxen. A steen-
buck has no fear of cattle and will
lie still even If they Craze right up to
him. The hunter gets together a few
cattle and with his gun walks behind
them in such way that he cannot be
be exercised to drive the oxen so that
they may seem to be grazing natural
ly. The hunter must be ready to shoot
without having to alter his position.
The slightest movement is noticed by
the buck.
Dean Earrar records In his Men
Have Known" an amusing and per-
fcctly good natured retort which Mat
thew Arnold provoked from Professor
Huxley, for the better appreciation Of
which it may be added that the sweet
ness and light" of which Mr.. Arnold
wrote, were exemplified in his own
very airy and charming manners.
| sometimes met Huxley in company
with Matthew Arnold, and nothing
could be more delightful than the con-
versation elected by their contrasted
Municipalities.
I remember walk which once took
with them both through the pleasant
ground of Paris Hill, where Mr. Ar
nold's cottage was. He was asking
Huxley whether he liked going out to
dinner parties, and the professor an
swered that, as rule, he did not like
it at all.
"Ah," said Mr.. Arnold, Il rather like
it. 1t is rather nice to meet people"
"Oh, yes" replied Huxley, but we
are not all such everlasting Cupids as
you are"

In a flash the crowd understood. The
Provident was meeting the run by
paying out money sent under the street
from the First National. The money
was making an endless chain, being
paid out over and over again. Half q
dozen men in the crowd began to ex-
plain how the bank was profiting by
the evasion of interest, and Ridgley
retired hurriedly. With the crowd in
its present temper he was not anxious
to be within its reach. A little talk
would precipitate riot
But Degnon had planned skillfully.
and his orators talked just enough to
check the run on the Union. There
were muttered threats, but the drain
was stopped, and a back flow of de-
positors was started toward the I'm
ion. Ridgley's reprisal had proved
boomerang
That evening Degnon explained to
Daisy and her father his inspiration.
Il was looking over the installation
in the First National" he told them,
''and l saw that there was a pipe Of
the pneumatic system that led out Of
the building.
Il thought 1t odd at the time, and
when you spoke of the relations be-
tween the two banks l realized the
game. They could shift the money
back and forth as it was needed and
no one was the wiser. 1 got permit
to open the street and drove a crowbar
through the pipe. That was ALL"
Il should like to give something to
that Italian foreman" said Daisy.
You might give him a kiss" sug-
gested Degnon. "At college was one
of the stars of the dramatic club"
You were the foreman" cried
Daisy. you shall have a dozen
kisses" And she made no protest at
Degnon's prompt collection.

The Bound Robin

The round robin" had it's origin sew
eral centuries ago In France.
1t was used there by officers of the
army as method of expressing their
dissatisfaction with the course of the
king or his ministers. BY signing in a
circular form the leaders of the move
ment could not be ascertained and
singled out for punishment.
The first instance on record Of the
use Of this form of protest in the navy
occurred In 1925. At the instigation of
the Duke of buckingham, the kings
favorite, an English feet, under Adj
miral Bennington, was dispatched to
Rochelle to assist in the coercion of the
Protestant subjects of Louis XIII. Of
France. But the English tars, in COM
mon with their fellow countrymen,
looked with favor upon the resistance
of their cOreligionists against the pros
elytfng zeal of the French king, and
they signed "round robin" express

there is a butchers shop which has no
name nor has it had one for the last
120 years. The reason affords a strik-

owner for some reason or other did not

Trade, however, was brisk, and the

The Manchester Martyrs,

Along in '67 or whereabouts some
Irishmen tried to rescue a bunch of
Fenian prisoners in Manchester, and a
police sergeant was shot and killed.
The prisoners got away, which may
have had something to do with the up
shot too. The government was natur-
ally sore, and they managed to hang
three of the rescue party without too
much fine haired fuss as to whether
they had anything to do with the shoot
ing or not At that time Fenians and
Nationalist were at daggers drawn,
and the church was heavy against the
Fenians, Of course, but they were all
one, one In agony and shame over

A BOY HUNT.
Chased From Hedge to Hedge by a Big
Pack of WeaseIs


Pack of WeaseIs.
The following extract from an inter
esting book may be of interest to our
friends. 1t is From My Life as an
Angler" by William Henderson, pub
lished in London in 1879.
about this time, while rambling in
the picturesque lane leading from Mer-
rington to Windlestone with two other
boys, an adventure occurred sufficient
ly startling to two little fellows from
nine to ten years old. We were busily
engaged in picking wild Strawberries,
which clustered in the hedgerows,
when we saw at about a hundred
yards distance pack of at least
twenty weasels running from hedge to
hedge and evidently seeming out foot
steps. 1t flashed upon us that we were
being hunted. So, sprlnging over the
nearest hedge, we ran across pasture
field and, standing upon the farther
bank, looked back toward our assaiI-
ants. To our dismay we saw the whole
pack, with noses to ground, steadily
tracking our course. The word was
given, Run, rum and off we scam
pered across another field to take up
our position on another hedge. Still
the pursuit was going on, and the crea-
lures were evidently gaining upon us,
so with a wild shout we fed to the
village, which, happily for us, was not
far off. l have frequently heard Of
persons being attacked by weasels, but
was never hunted by them on any 9th
er occasion"
The above must have occurred about
1912, the locality being the north of
England.-Forest and Stream.

The Indians Reply.

A distinguished army officer tells a
story on himself which relates to the
days when he was a young lieutenant
in the far west good many years ago.
He was of party who had gone to
see the Indians at Spokane Falls.
Among the redskins was Chief Moses,
who was fairly well educated and
spoke capital English. The young lieu
tenant addressed Chief Moses in the
Indian tongue, saying, Moses, l have
often heard of you, and l have seen
your picture and your name In the
newspapers. but l have never before
seen you" and, offering his hand, add
ed, Il am glad to meet you" Moses
scanned him from head to foot, and
as the young man stood with out
stretched hand the lengthening silence
and stolidity of the chief were becom-
ing painful, when old Moses at last
and with great deliberation said in
English, young man, l have never
heard of you before and l have never
seen your picture in the newspapers,
but" he added lightly, nevertheless l
am glad to see you," and accepted his
hand

The Old Spelling Class.

Rev. George Claiming wrote an ac-
count of the school of his youth, which
he attended just after the Revolution.
Girls and boys attended together the
primary school and sat on seats made
of round blocks of wood of various
heights, which were furnished by the
parents. Children bowed and kissed
the teachers hand on leaving the
room. The teaching of spelling was
peculiar 1t was the last lesson of the
day.
The master gave out long word,
say, multiplication" with blow of
his strap on the desk as a signal for
all to start together, and in chorus the
whole class spelled out the word in
syllables The teachers ear was so
trained and acute that he at once de-
tected any misspelling. If this hap
pened he demanded the name of the
scholar who made the mistake. If
there was any hesitancy or refusal in
acknowledging he kept the whole
class until, by repeated trials of long
WORDS, accuracy was obtained The
roar of the many voices of the large
school, all pitched in different keys,
could be heard on summer days for a
long distance.

but some cotton underclothing and
plunged in. AS he swan something
appeared to seize his leg, and he re-
membered in an instant that the sea
swarmed with sharks He nearly
sunk with horror, fully persuaded that
his leg was gone. But mastering his
fear, he swan on to the boat Then
he found that his alarm had been
caused by tape with which his under
clothing was tied below the knee 1t
had come unfastened, and the sup
posed shark bite was only a wet tape
winding and unwinding about his leg.

into his bedroom. Usually lights were
placed in all the bedrooms, but this
evening for some reason-probably the
moonlight-the servant had not per-
formed his duties. could hear my
friend fumbling about on his dressing
table, and then suddenly he gave cry
of horror and rushed out to the light.
