CANADIAN LYNX Clyde Holmes, who
was employed in Newburg last week, met with
a strange experience there. In coming out
from the dense woods into clearing he saw
strange gray animal of not very pleasing coun-
tenance and was undecided whether to-advance
or retreat. He tried to brighten the animal,
but failing in this started for his boarding
place and reported what he had SEEN Several
men with dogs and guns at once set out in
pursuit and soon landed the strange beast,
which proved to be Canadian Lynx weighing
in cave near by and was faring sumptuously
on the lambs of nearby farmers

/ WILLIAMsoN's HISTORY. There is an in
creasing demand for the publication of the
second volume of Williamson's History of Bel
fast, which completes the annals of our city
for the first one hundred years. Last week
we quoted subscriber as saying ne would
GLADLY pay $40 for a copy if necessary and a
day or two later we received personal note
/ from George P Field of Boston, in which he
said: Il noticed in The Journal some weeks
ago that somebody was prepared to subscribe
/ for the publication of the second volume of
/ Wilhamson's History of Belfast Now couldn' t
you undertake to start, through The Journal
such subscription, and if you are willing to,
and think it wise, you may put me down for
| $500, besides an agreement to take several
copies of the book when published. 1t seems
| to me that if you call attention to it in your
! paper there may be enough of the present and
! former residents of the city who are willing to
subscribe to put the matter through The
Journal is, of course, ready and anxious to do
/ everything in its power to ensure this publica-
! ton. We need the book in our business, and
want to see it beside the first volume which oc-
cupes shelf within easy reach as we write
| The author had no thought of making money
in preparing this volume. 1t with him a
/ labor of love. Those who survive him, and
who hold the manuscript, are imbued with a
like spirit, and would gladly enter into any ar
rangement that would ensure the publication
without financial loss We have no doubt but
! the book would pay for itself in time, although
/ it might not be possible to obtain a sufficient
number of subscribers at the outset. Even
now there are calls for the first volume and
double the regular price is paid for it. Why
not call for subscriptions to guarantee fund
/ the money to be returned when the book has
/ paid for itself, as it will eventually? Then GO
/ aheaQ ana get SuDScTlptIOIS LOT tlS DOoh. L lie
columns of The Journal are open for sug-
| gestions.
