A ZOO" FRIENDSHIP BROKEN.

The Geological G~arden-always a popu-
lar resort in these bright days-has been
the scene, / regret to record, OF q sad part
ing of a dog with its wolf foster-brother
George, the great timber wolf, and Billie,
the collie-Gord setter mOngrel, have been
among the sights of the Geological Gardens
for three or four years. They occupied the
same cage, and visitors were puzzled to
know whether the dog was a detenceIess
dog or strange variety of wolf, we'll able to
look after itself. Now Billie has been sent
away TO 'save him from his friend for the
w~olf-nature had asserted itself IN George,
and the poor dog was in danger OF being
killed. The presence of the dog IN the
cage is explained by the fact that wolf and
dog are foster brothers, Billie's mother
looking after Georges wants from the time
be was born. When George WAS a growing
cub a member Of the Council of the Zoolo-
gicaI Society took both cub and puppy INTO
the country for six months. Unleashed,
they ran together, chasing rabbits and hay
ing q splendid time. Towards the end OF
that period George, then more than half
grown. betrayed an unhealthy interest III

TO be much modified, and, though otherwise
u lovable beast of prey, he had TO be sent
back to Regents Park. He and Billie shar-
ed one cage in perfect friendship, save per
haps that the dog bad q tendency to bully
the wolf. This year George refused TO De
hustled or give up the sunniest spot IN the
cage, or to put himself out for Billie 10 the
slightest. The breach widened, tall finally
Billie's position grew precarions. Billie Is
now no longer in the gardens. Ibid

Attacks on the Spanish Camp.

On Sunday afternoon the hostile tribes
men near Melilla made an attack on the
headquarters of the Spanish force. After
a sharp engagement The enemy were repuis~
ed, but carried off IT mules. At nine that
night the Moors again attacked with renew
ed vigour and attempted to carry the
barbed-wir ENHANCEMENT and capture the
Spanish guns. The Moors left l8 dead
round one gun. The Spanish outposts
fought hand to hand With the enemy, who
showed great tactical skill and were only
repulsed at 3 in the morning. TIL Spanlards
numbered 1000 and the Moors 5000.
There was further fighting on Tuesday
night and Wednesday, the hostile tribesmen
being very persistent in their attacks on the
Spanish positions.
Two influential chiefs, one named Maimon
and another nicknamed "the Cat, helped to
fight against the harka and beat 1t of.
The losses Of the enemy were numerous,

THE FALL OF A STATESMAN.
AXE heed how We read.

The fall of the French Ministry as the
result of it's weak naval policy has been
much commented on in London, especially
az it follows so closely on Lord Charles Der
esiord's attack on the British Governments
naval plans. The pitcher that goes often
TO the water is sure to be broken at last. 1t
was NJ. ClomenceAu's boast that he had sur
yIyed three hundred motions Of Censure, yet
he tinds himself overthrow by one man.
There are the elements of e Greek tragedy
in the duel between M. Delcass6 and the
defeated Premier. They have long been
political adversaries, and the dismissal OF
nj. Delcasse over the Morocco question was
not less gratifying to NJ. Clemenceau than
TO the German Emperor. The memory of
the bitter controversy that preceded the
Algeciras Conference mastered the EXPIRE
mier and prompted him to taunt NJ. Delcasse
with having brought humiliation upon
France by embarking on ambitious schemes
without having assured the military and ma
val power to support them. This taunt,
which NAV be ascribed 10 temper, was
bound to be- resented not by NJ. Delcass5
alone by by almost every Frenchman
However great the services of NJ. Clemen-
ceau and whatever the regrets of the Cham
Der Of Deputies, so wanton al insult could not
pass without censure. NJ. Clemenceau's re-
signation is q loss to France and to Europe.
He inherited the policy of NJ. Delcasse and
applied it with consistent success, with the
result that to-day the position of the Re-
public is more secure abroad than it has
over been. He strengthened the entente
with Great Britain, encouraged the friendly
approaches between Russia and Great Brit
ain, and by tirrnness and fairness reduced,
if he could not remove, the friction between
his own country and Germany. NJ. Aristide
BRAND, Minister of Justice in the Clemen-
ceau Cabinet, has been asked to form a Min
istry.-DdiI4 .Nal, July 24th-

SIR f. GREY AND THE GEAR,

The Labour Party raised a protest in the
House of Commons on Thursday against the
visit of the Gear, and received a crushing
reply from Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign
Secretary.
Mr.. Arthur Henderson, chairman of the
Labour Party, said that the position in
Russia to-day was as serious as when the
Labour Party made their protest against
the Kings visit to Reval last year. MAY
we not to-day e~zclaim, How Long, 0 Lord
how longr
Sir Edward Grey, the picture Of cold
dignity, made an uncompromising reply.
Turning towards the Labour Party, he
declared that Mr.. Henderson's demand
with reference to the Cars visit placed
the Government in an impossible position.
How could they interfere in the internal
aft airs of another countryp "Sir," he sand,
cit is not our business even to know what
passes in their internal afairs-"Oh, OH"
ooh, oh |" cried Irish end Labour members.
He suggested with cold irony that repre-
sentatives of the Russian Duma might know
better what was in the interests of Russia
thun people here.
Then Sir Edward grew stern. "If I
thought that some of the abominable things
which have been said outside were regarded
uS ANY GuAuk DuU n@AAA CSCnGlOAI - NOA4O
folly I should have spoken in q different
tone and made a different appeal to the
House"
He said that the reign of the Gear would
be rem embered in history as that IN which
a Constitution was granted to the country.
1--WE desire" he said emphatically, "to
welcome him as the head of a great State,
with whom and with whose people we de-
sire tO he on friendly terms"
Mr. Keir Hardie supported the protest.
Mr.. Grayson began quietly. Mr.. Asquith
regarded him with an air of cold curiosity
Sir Edward Grey did not look at him at all.
He finished by saying that, bad as our
country was, it was ''too good to have its
traditions besmircbed by contact with this
exceptional monster" He took his seat in
a remarkable silence.
1t appears that the Chairman thought Mr..
Grayson said monarch" and not monster"
and therefore did not call him to order.
A division resulted in favour of the Go
~vernlnent by 1877 to 79.-Ibjd.

does not begin to exhaust the list of novel
lists whose works are we'll worth reading.
They are worth reading because they are
worth thinking about For he who reads a
work of imagination pro6tably will endeav-
or TO image to himself the scene, or the
Incident, or the character described. t1c-
ton is worth reading only az we make 1t real
to ourselves. Reading that is an excuse for
for not thinking is, except occasionally for
the over-tired brain, Improbable reading
even though it is fiction that we read.
Religious reading is sometimes made an
excuse for not thinking. In fact. unthInk-
ing reading of religious literature is perhaps
the worst OF all unthinking reading. The
Protestant looks with self satisfied pity upon
the Roman Catholic who repeats the Pater
Noster and keeps account Of the number OF
the repetitions by her beads. But how is 1t
better to read o chapter of the Bible and
impute it to ourselves for righteousness 7 1t
is not the amount of the Scripture we read
which profits it ia the amount of thinking
which we give TO the reading. One man
reads O chapter o day. Monday morning he
Fends the fifth chapter Of Matthew. Tins
religious duty done, he closes the book and
turns to other themes wlich interest him
more. His neighbor reads one verse III the
same chapter-"Blessed are the meek: for
they shall inherit the earth" "1s It" he
says to himself, 'the meek who inherit the
earth2" He goes ont to study life and
see what comment life makes on Christ's
teaching. What he sees is the greedy and
the g~rasping getting the earth. He is puz-
lied turns the text over and over in his
mind compares it again and again with life.
The promise and the perplexity to which 1t
has given rise mix in his subconscious think
ing. Gradually he perceives that while the
greedy and the grasping get possession OF
the earth. it lie not they who get enjoyment
ont of it. Suddenly it comes to him that to
inherit is cot to earn it is not to acquire it
is to receive 90 q free gift. He looks again
at life, and as he looks gradually it comes to
him that the grasping and the greedy do not
enjoy what they possess that they are not
blessed in their possessing that he who
gives his energies and enthusiasms, not to
acquisition, but to service, and accepts as a
free gift that which life gives him, is the one
who enjoys life. And he has got more out
of one verse of Scripture which he has read
and thought about than his ~ueighbor got out
of an entire chapter which he read as an e1-
cuse for not thinking.
Take heed how we read.

came in the first proposal l ever had
put to me by young woman.
4" You take itg' she asked sol
emily.
II knew perfectly we'll what she
meant, for she always spoke of her
self as it, but ] pretended not to
understand and replied
Take it? Do, you mean take
you?'
''She nodded.
No. | answered. L don't care
to marry.
What S matter-you no like it @
she persisted, as if she were asking
my opinion of the mornings pan
cakes.
Yes; | like you all right, An
ME, | responded, but | don It care to
turn squaw-man like Bill. | don't
like squaw-men.
She thought this over for long
time, blinking solemnly from her post
behind the stove. Just as ! was con-
vinced that my first misplaced leap
year proposal was over she broke into
the next round of argument
Me plenty work-all time cook
Plenty wood chop; no eat much. You
take it?'
" Nothing doing, Annie. No
solemnity and conviction which finally
carried home. After my meaning had
at last been absorbed, she slid along
the wall as shyly as she had entered
and made her escape out of the door.
When She had been gone for some
minutes the absurdity of the whole
situation came over me in such wave
that | rolled on my bunk and laughed
as | hadn It laughed since | came into
the country. Solitary men, in a soil
tary country, do most of their laugh
ing inside-but the comicalness Of the
whole affair came over me so that I
fairly yelled and groaned aloud. Per-
haps ] didn It feel quite as heartless
and as fattered as the girl who turns
down an awkward and in-sorted
sutton, but it was near enough to it to
suggest it to me.
After that / fell In with "a jolly
lrishman and We went to work
claim way up the mountain side on a
high bar-aIbout thousand feet above
the creek bottom. One end of our
cabin burrowed it's nose into the side
of the mountain while the other looked
out over the tree tops. We had a
handmade front yard which might
have suggested the hanging gardens
OF Babylon to stray sky-pilot. It was
made of logs laid up in the shape of
cribbing filled with dirt-the founda-
ton of the c11bbing being a rocky
shelf about thirty feet below our front
door steps. 1t was good stiff days
work to climb from the creek bottom
to our nest up on the mountain side
and We were fully ten miles from
town.

"But the scratching began again
and Mike called out Come in!'
CATER a moments suspense the
door was softly opened and | saw one
cleaning black eye peering in. We
sat quietly and a, moment later the
door opened a little wider, revealing
another bright and beady eye and
copper-colored nose. Then the head
of Annie the Amiable poked itself
into view.
Come in, Annie I called.
What in the world brings you here at
such a time?'
"Edging along with her back to the
the stove and stood there, fattened
against the wall, her hands nervOusly
twisting into her coarse skirt which
was soaked nearly to her hips. At a
glance it told the story of the creeks
she had waded, Of the mire through
which she had foundered, of the climb
up the face Of the mountain in the
darkness. [ felt that she must have
been in deep trouble to have made
such a journey-a trip which the
hardest prospector would have under
taken only when driven by some ur-
gent necessity.
You sick?' she finally asked;
you send for it?
q No; I'm all right, Annie. I
didn't send for YOU
Man say So.
"While she was eating the supper
that Mike cooked for her | managed
to get at the truth Some thought
less acquaintance of mine who knew
that Annie regarded me as her pro-

to see her. That was enough for her.
| had stood between her and the bru-
tai mutineer and, believing that I was
sick or needed her, she had unhesi-
tatingly started out for the cabin on
the high bar. Every step she had
taken in that ten-mile tramp had been
in mire up to her knees and two or
three times she had been obliged to
wade swollen streams. And then, in
the darkness, she had climbed the side
of the mountain.
She was only an ignorant, I'M
couth little savage-just little higher
IN intellect and morals than an ami
mal-but the intimation that, some
how, | stood in need of her had been
enough for her; she had endured an
amount of hardship and exertion that
would have been test of the strong
est friendship between men. I'm not
ashamed of the fact that it made a
lump come to my throat as | thought
it over.
"We made her comfortable for the
night, gave her present of few
ounces Of gold and the next day she
trudged back to town-without a sign
of regret THAT she had come on her

it to her own use.
" Annie, asked, you sure didn't
take that pin?' / hope I may never
see woman as angry as the meek
and amiable Annie was the next
minute. | had offered her the last
word in the language of insult-the
suggestion that she would steal, and
from friend, at that! She talked in
Indian and English at the same time
and the way in which she dressed me
down was work of aboriginal art.
For a little while, it looked to me as
if she would tear my hair out or go
after me with knife. Probably she
would have used the knife, if one had
been at hand the moment when her
anger blazed UP the fiercest.
'But, after little while, I claimed
her down and inside of an hour she
was singing hymn. she had learned
at the mission. Of all the mercurial
temperaments I've ever come in con
tact with that of poor little half-sav-
age Annie could show the swiftest
fluctuations.
Before spring opened up in good
earnest, had managed to bring about
separation between Bill and myself
and to do it without opening up any
bad blood-which was something of
an accomplishment considering the
fact that Bin s blood was decidedly
tainted and always on the point Of
eruption. Beside, he was as undesir-
able as an enemy as he was as a
partner.
II moved my belongings into a
shack about mile away. The first
night in my new quarters, while was
busy arranging my Things, I heard
soft knock at the door. I opened it
and there stood the frousy-headed,
shapeless little waif of the wilder
ness, her straight, black hair hanging
in strings, but her shoe-button eyes
bright with the light Of high resolve.
She edged timidly into the room
and sidled along the wall until she
could stand behind the stove. From
this half sheltered point of vantage
she watched me in furtive, abashed
silence. I knew She had something on
her mind that would come out in her
own time and in her own way. Evil
IDENTIFY, she was laboring under a great
strain Of bashfulness as we'll as ex-

it. To give her time to gather her

that it might be decidedly important
