HUNTING FOR BIG GAME.

The Highlands of Ontario is an ideal
spot for the sportsman during the open
hunting season for big game. In the
Temagami region moose are plentiful
and may be killed during the period
from October 10th to November 18th.
This territory is forest preserve of
vast expanse, and in addition to being
the hunters paradise, it's waters
abound with game fish of many
species. The home of the red deer is
located somewhat to the south of
Temagami, particularly in the dis
tricts known as "Muskoka Lakes"
Lake of Bays, "Maganetawan River"
Lake Nipissing," and "Kawartha

DIE IN Mine FIRE.
Many. Perished Ii Flames Which
Followed Explosion.
FIVE HUNDRED MEN AT WORK
Fifty Miners Went Home and Tween.
ty-five Escaped After Explosion
Little Hope for Entombed
Men in Horrible Disaster.

Cherry, Ill. Nov. 15.-Mine officials
of the st. Paul Coal company, after
an explosion which occurred Satur-
day, say that 400 men are dead in
the mine. Twelve bodies have been
taken out. Six of these were heroes,
not employed in the mine, who gave
their lives in a futile effort to save
the imprisoned workers.
Mine Superintendent James Steele
declared five hours after the explos-
ion that it was almost impossible that
any of the miners could escape. The
mine has day shift of 4S4 men OF
these fifty left the mine at noon.
twenty-five are known to have es-
capped after the fire broke out. The
others are believed to be dead.
The entrance to the mine has been
sealed in the hope of checking the
flames. The building above the pit
entrance was blown up to permit this.
The fire causing the explosion,
which may prove one of the greatest
tragedies in the list of mine horrors,
had an origin most trivial. A pile of
hay allowed to smolder too long, fl
nally ignited the timbers of the mine
and before the workers realized their
danger tie mine was filled with
snake, gases and flames, and all exit
was impossible.
Heroism such as is rarely exhibit
ed, was shown by officials of the mine
and residents of the town of Cherry.
These men, who were outside the
mine when the fire originated, con-
triOuted five to the list of twelve
known dead. Alexander HerSerg,
pitman, gave his life in a futile effort
TO save those of his comrades who
risked their lives with him.
Standing at the bottom OF the shaft
he carried the bodies of four men in
to the cage, the only way of escape;
as the last was carried in, he fell I'M
conscious across the body. He was
dead, as were all his companions,
when the cage had been lifted to the
top. Those who had gone into the pit
with him were John Bundy, the mine
superintendent, John Flood and Isaac
Lewis, merchants of Che y, and
Dominic FOnenti.

Taking Care Of Yourself.

There never was time when PEG.

Time was when fine stock and fine

human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra.

that the same thing is true OF man
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the

wonders in the health and strength of

School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at

the best food. One of the attractive
