 CHILD STEALING CASE
Taken Out of the Jurisdiction of the Local Court.

The case of Manuel ROchin, charged with child stealing, which was set for half past one in Justice Carr's court yesterday afternoon, did not come up for the reason that the United States authorities took the matter up and took it out of the local sourt. ROchin's offense was a rather serious one and he stands a splendid chance of serving a term in the penitentiary. The off cers have the best of evidence against him and the chances are that a con- viCtion will be secured in the case.

A Second Solomon

One of the occupations in Australia
IS sheep raising. There are large
ranches upon which many sheep and
lambs find food, and the shepherds
guard their own.
One day a man was arrested Tor
stealing a sheep. The man claimed
that the sheep was his own. that 1T
had been missing from his flock for
some days. but as soon as he saw the
animal he knew him.
The other man claimed the sheep
and said he had owned him since he
was a lamb and that he had never been
away from the flock.
The judge was puzzled how to decide
the matter. At last he sent for the
sheep. He first took the man in whose
possession the sheep was found TO the
courtyard and told him to call the
sheep.
The animal made no response, only
to raise his head and look frightened
AZ if in strange place and among
strangers.
Bidding the officers take the man
back to the courtroom. he told them
to bring down the defendant. The ac-
cused man did not wait until he entered
the yard but at the gate, and where
the sheep could not see him, he began

actions showed that a familiar voice

The WhirI Blast

whirl blast from behind the hill
Rushed Ger the woods with startling
sound:
Then all at once the air was still
And showers Of hailstones paftered
round.
Where leafess oaks tower'd high above,
] sat within an undergone
OF tallest hoilies, tall and green;
A faireT bower was never seen.
From year to year the spacious floor
With witherd leaves is covered ov'r,
And all the year the bower is green:
But see. where'er the hailstones drop
The wither'd leaves all skip and hop:
There's not a breeze-no breath Of air
Yet here, and there, and everywhere
Along the floor. beneath the shade
BY those empowering holiies made
The leaves in myriads jump and spring,
As IL with pipes and music rare
Some Robin Goodfellow were there
And all those leaves in festive gfee,
Were dancing to the minstrelsy

How About Dinner {?

A soldier who has served many years
with the colors was travelling in rail-
way carriage in company with num-
ber of workingmen. Very soon the
latter got into conversation with the
soldier. when IL was ascertained that
he had served through the greater part
of the South African war.
The talk proceeded. and the soldier.
in rough but graphic fashion, related
several incidents connected with the
war, in which he himself had played a
part. At last he described a certain
battle which had commenced at s
o'clock in the morning and lasted right
through the day until the evening
When the soldier had finished his in
teresting narrative one of the work
ingmen eyed him intently for a few
moments before venturing to speak
Look here he said at last there's
one thing about that story of yours
which don't happen quite to under

What about it. I. should like to
know?" replied the soldier. with pride

ingman explained. II suppose it's all
true, but what / don't make out is this

In strange country, unheeding, con-

Hither and thither. Ger brake and
Pastureland, cioverland, valley and

Taking no note of the time of the day
Bow wow. I'm glad that the folks

Wynken. BIynken and Nod

Wynken. Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in wooden shoe
Sailed on river of crystal light.
Into a sea of dew.
Where are you going and what do you
wish?'
The old moon asked the three.
1--WE have come to fish for the herring
fish
That live in this beautiful sea:
Nets of silver and gold have we,"
Said Wynken.
Blynken
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe.
And the wind that sped them all night
long
Ruf1ed the waves of dew
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea
Now cast your nets wherever you
Never .afeard are We:
So cried the stars to the fishermen
three,
wynken.
Blynken
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the
wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home.
Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed
AS If 1T could not be.
And some folks thought twas a dream
they dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea
But l shall name you the fishermen
three:
Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
Wynlen and Blynken are two little eyes
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the
skies
Is wee ones trundle bed
So shut your eyes while mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
AS you rock on the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen
three:
Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.

WHY the Sea Is Salt

In the Golden Age. runs the old Morse
legend, the earth was ruled by god
named Frodi. who among other trifes
possessed a beautiful hand mill that
ground out sold and happiness and
peace. and anything else that it was
asked for. The grinders were two
giantesses ruled over by Frodi, and all
went well until a sea rover appeared
on the scene. After this, however. all
went badly. for the rover slew Frodi
and carried the hand mill and the
giantesses out to sea, where he ordered
them to grind salt. This for a whole
day they did; but when night came
they awoke their new master from his
sleep and asked if they had not ground
enough. But the sea rover sternly
bade them keep grinding till morning.
The maidens took him at his word and
worked with such vii that long be-
sore daylight the great load OF salt
they had made sank the ship.
