A Fatal Pun.

According to John Stow, chronicler and antiquary, about 1860, who wrote and published "Summarie of Englysh Chronicles," Sir William Coliingwood was executed in 14S4 for writing the following political squib, in a manner which. in his day, was considered most excellent wit:
 The rat. the cat and Lovel the dog
 Rule all England under the Hog.
 This was during the reign of Rich ard III. at a time when the chief agents of his evil schemes were Gates by, Ratcliff and Lovel. Lovel was then a common name for a dog and as a white boar was displayed on the kings eScutcheon the reference to q "hog" was obvious and so offensive that 1t brought about the writer's death.

Just saeeze Right Out.

Never suppress sneeze." said the trained nurse to the young woman who had just performed that polite act. Ut is a great strain on all the nerves and blood vessels of the head, as 1t throws all the action to the back of the head instead of letting it come out of the mouth safely and naturally. The unusual and hard strain on a lit tie blood vessel that may be weak is likely to burst it and cause instant death. A loud sneeZe does not sound very nice, but it is a safe thing to do every time.''

lines and is largely constructed of steel.
1t seats 70 people, and has an observation
room in the rear. in addition to which
there is a smokers apartment and a bag
gage compartment.
One man operates the car, and by

tests on the trial trip showed that the
car can be stopped within its own length.
The Northern Pacific will utilize several
of the new cars on short branch lines.

Forest Fires Rage
In New Brunswick.

Fredericton, n. B., June There is
not much change to report this even
ing in the forest fire situation SO fan
as this section OF the province is con
cerned. Along the keswick stream
there has beer change for the better
since yesterday and it is believed now
that the worst is over. The~fire in thai
region last night burned to within q
mile of Bird Settlement. The fire today
owing to lack of wind has made little
progress but there is danger of it's set
ting up at any time, especially neal
Forks Settlement.
1t is estimated that at least sc
square miles of fine timber land be-
longing to the Keswick Lumber Co
has been fire swept, involving loss OF
many thousands of dollars.
A bad fire is burning at Half Moon
cove, where the Trans continental
Railway crosses the Mramichi Fire
Warden John Hurley of Stanley was
dispa tched to the scene today with a
crew of men, but will not be able to
reach there until tomorrow. The fire is
on lands owned by the Miramichi Lum-
Der 20. and New Brunswick Railway
Co. The last named concern mas a
crew of men on the spot but they are
inadequate to cope with the flames and
the crown land department is sending
reinforcements.
A large crowd of men has been dis
patched to the head of Little river to
cope with the fire in that vicinity
which IS burning the crown lands. 1t
is reported to have already swept over
large territory.
Deputy Surveyor General Loggie is
directing the operations of the govern
ment force of fire fighters. He now has
hundreds of men in the woods and is
daily organizing new expeditions.
