on the same questions.

the tariff and look how the par.

(even approximate unanimity Of

The scenes of Cameo Kirby are laid
in that delightful period and city of
which George w. Gable so graphically
wrote. In fact it would almost seem
that the New Orleans of 1882, with the
brave gallantry of it's men and the wit
and beauty of it's women, were rein
carnated in this wonderful imagery of
Messrs. Harrington and Wilson. Cos
tunes and architecture are faithfully
reproduced. The illusion of the atmos
phere is well nigh perfect. To those
who delight in romance who have fol-
lowed with throbbing interest the
stories of Dumas and Scott, to those
who love love theme, who have small
desire to follow a problem play,
"Cameo Kirby is an ideal stage tale.
1t pulses the blood, touches the chord of
sympathy that is akin to tears and
sweeps the heart with the wholesome
laughter of boyhood.

CONQUERED BY MOSQUITOES

In 1860 the Rev. John Sheepshanks,
later on the bishop Of Norwich was
travelling through British Columbia.
His book "a Bishop in the Rough"
relates his experiences on the Douglas
trail, where the greatest discomfort
was caused by the swarms of ferocious
mosquitoes. He met with Indians
covered with paint, carrying branches
of trees in their hands, which they
were sweeping around them as they
walked They were evacuating their
country, being temporarily driven out
by these pests If by chance traveller
arrived at a clearing or an open space
where there appeared to be an immun-
ity from them, ere long they would
appear.
quite early in the morning, after
meeting those Indians, l issued from
my tent, and found an open space on
the rivers side where l could get my
bath. But no sooner had / emerged
from the water than l found swarms
of mosquitoes assailing me, and do
what l would, slaughter them by doz-
ems, I suffered severely.

A wayside house, that / took part in

were twenty-five men, going up to the

was a ceaseless hum in the apartment,

ands of mosquitoes.

A well known gentleman took horse

had the strength of his son, Michael
aged 21, been able to stand the loss of
more than a quart OF blood which was
taken from the young man and infused
into his fathers veins on the Iatter's
deathbed.
Mr. Waters, his son. and the latter's
bride, attended the fair at Seattle. In
a streetcar wreck In which twenty
were hurt, Mr.. Walters suffered the
fracture OF both legs in two places.
Three amputations were performed
and when his strength left him after
the third operation, because of the loss
of blood, his son calmly told the sur
geons that he would supply what blood
his father needed to regain his strength.
The surgeons accepted the offer
When they had removed a quart of
the young mans blood and transmit
ted 1t to the fathers vines, the young
mans bride protested because she
could see her husband getting weak.
The aged man died soon after. The
son was scarcely able to make the
trip back to Conway with the body.
