An international Question

There is a little matter which has
evidently escaped the notice OF our
ambassador to England. A short time
ago Mr.. Harry Payne Whitney, with a
party of guests. spent $4,000 for a
single days shooting upon the Hell
wick Hall moor at Upper Teesdale
and a number of the London newspa.
pers criticized the proceedings as not
worth while.
Our ambassador should insist upon
more respectful treatment OF Ameri-
can citizens. II this money had been
contributed by Englishmen there
might possibly have been some basis
of criticism. but the affair is entirely
our own. We have the right to give
our millionaires. young or old. what
ever income we please, and. of
course. after we give it to them, Il is
their duty to spend it In a way to
reflect the most credit upon the finan.
cial condition Of our country.-Life.

He Did Read Them.

Some years ago, big ffnancier who
had steadfastly spurned advertising
and emphatically declared that he new
er read it, gave his pride a neat fall
one day. He is known to be model
OF courtesy and politeness, making a
serupulous point of his memory for
people he has met. Going out to his
country home one day he noticed a
woman seated in his car whom he was
sure he knew in some way. He was
unable to recall her by name though
every line of her face had something
familiar about it, but his scrupulous
sense of politeness troubled him so
that he went to her.
81 am sure ! know you, madam, but
cannot recall your name. VIII you
kindly set me right?"
The woman smiled, and replied, Il
am Lydia Pinkham!"
The financier has since been relat
ing this as a joke on himself, which
proyed that he did read advertise,
ments. whether consciously or urcon,
sciously. How about yourself? Do
YOU read ads? Certainly.-Printer'

Number OF Animal Species.

In 1880 Bunther made list Of alp

another list was made and the two
lists were compared. In 1880 there
were about 1883 species; In 1891 the
number had increased to 311.653 And
as the minimum yearly increase since
then has been $4,000, about 100000
are known at the present time. Tits
is a large figure, but 1t is probable

stating prices. A customer may be
deceived in the quantity of the goods
he is buying by what the advertise
ment states, but If the advertisement
says a certain article will be sold for
four cents or four dollars, that goes,
and if the advertiser should put the
figures up the least little bit, the Gus
toner would raise howl that no sort
of explanation would quiet. The ad-
vertiser might explain about quality
and get away with his published mis-
representation, but figures are figures
and the price that is printed the gen.
uine price. The customer knows
enough to claim the full truth as
stated in the advertisement and he
gets it. 1t is a reprehensible code Of
ethics which permits an advertiser to
misrepresent 1t one way and not in
another, and, at least, a fair degree
Of consistency should be maintained.
Whether it is contrast, or whether
it is the innate love of truth that lives
in most consciences, l do not know,
but the advertiser who has proved
himself truthful in his advertisements
so inspires confidence in those who
read that they will put themselves to
almost any Inconvenience to buy from
him and no matter how alluring the
advertisements of the other kind may
read they believe that the only virtue
in the goods offered is in the adver'
tisment, and stick to the real thing.

MAN VS.. THE MOOSE QUEER COINCIDENCE
EXCITING ENCOUNTER ON THE
HUDSON BAY RAILWAY LINE.
Adventure Is Illustrative of the Fear
less Daring of individuals Who
Make Up the Far North Path
finder Parties.

A letter from Mr.. Charles J. Bruce
one of the engineers laying out the
line OF the proposed Hudson Bay ran
way, contains the description OF
most exciting encounter between
man and moose, illustrative OF the
fearlessness of the individuals VINO
make up these pathfinder parties IN
the far north. There are three sur
veying parties at work between the
Pas and York factory, and the scene
described occurred on the Nelson
river. The country is q sportsman
paradise, literally swarmlng with
game. The adventure in question oc-
Cured about the latter part or july
and is told as follows:
Yesterday afternoon Silent JACK
Labelle and ScOtty were exploring a
creek running into the bay In front
of the camp. Padding around point
they came into little lake and In the
middle of the lake a young bull moose
swimming across. They didn't nave
gun, knife or weapon or any
kind. but that didn't have any
effect on Silent Jack, Maniwak1
boy, by the way, and our head packer
He wanted that moose, and he was go
ing to get him. In spite of the fren-
zied protests of 'Scotty,' who was sure
he was going to be upset and drowned,
Jack laid the canoe alongside OF the
moose and went for him with pad
die. The first blow sheared the
moose's ear off as though it had been
done with a knife. The second
smashed the paddle to smithereens on
its horns. Nothing put out by this,
Jack caught the horns and pulled the
canoe on the animals neck, to try
and keep it's head under water and
drown it. But the moose was too
strong, and it took some quick paddle
work from the now hysterical Scotty
in the bow to keep from capsizing.
The contestants were getting near the
shore by this time, and Jack, fearful
of losing the fresh meat for three
days which that lively animal repre-
scented, and regardless OF little thing
like disparity of 800 pounds between
his weight and the moose, went over
board on the creatures back. Once
he was in sole charge OF the canoe,
Scotty had leisure to observe one of
the liveliest duels he ever saw. At
times he was uncertain whether 1t was
Jack drowning the moose or the
moose drowning Jack. Unfortunately,
the moose got his feet on a sandbar
which extended into the lake, and
once on solid ground, shook Jack off
with ease. AS Labelle, with badly
ripped shirt where his late rivals
horns had almost caught him, with
his lungs filled with water, and his
hair full of mud, watched that roast
moose, venison steak. moose potpie,
and broiled tongue disappear in the
woods at 40 miles an hour, he justi-
fed his sobriquet of Silent Jack. for
the things he said are not repeatable
