The True Poet.
- " -

There's wlstful, che erful, something
In his work that spells success;
And from out his soul pours sympathy,
In the full notes of tenderness.
He hath heard the bird s wing fiutter,
He swnys with the waving corn,
He has trembled in the storm at night,
And yet welcomes every morn.
His is the force of earnest thought,
And his pen Las lost it's sting,
He is sincere-has downed deceit,
Courageous man: Tells everything

RECENTLY the London Daily Mail paid M. Louis
Paulhan the famous French aviator, fifty thousand
dollars for flight in his airshp from London to
Manchester, England. The paper makes an
offer of similar amount for successful fight of 800
miles in an airship. Flying through the will
soon be commonplace affair. Trips across the At
antic in airships will long be in general vogue
at the rate of progress that is being made in
aviation.

SHETLAND PONIES HOME.
Away to the north of Scotland
lies the group of islands in which
the diminutive horses commonly
called Shelties have their home.
The Shetlands are not all inhabit-
ed, some of the smaller islands be-
ing used merely as paslurage for a
few sheep. There is little to attract
either the agriculturist or the mer.
chant. SO progress is slow; the is
landers till their land by oldfash-
toned methods and many of them
still have recourse to barter as a
means of obtaining necessaries.
To the lover of the beautiful and
to the artist there is much to charm.
Some would perhaps describe the
islands as barren-but what bar
renness? The islands though des-
titute of trees, are SO varied in the
nature of their scenery that their
absence in no way detracts from
the general beauty of the landscape.
| Numerous streams ard lochs all
serve to make the coloring of the
heathercovered hills and tllegloomy
tints of the moors stand out in
pleasant contrasts, while near the
sea bold cliffs tower over the blue
waters, whose waves dash against
their rocky sides. Overhead nu-
merous sea birds circle on their
way to their nests on The lodges.
The largest island is knocn as
the mainland, with a length o
some 81 miles and general width
of 20 miles. The islands have

lands as we'll as some 10000 cattle,

to give much feeding to these title

bleak Winter months t h ely find
their way down IT, the sea shore
where they derive scanty living
from the seaweed which grows up
on the rocks or has been left by the
high Autumn tides and freshened
by melted snow or rain.
In spite of this precarious exist
ence the S Ii elites seem happy
enough and are extremely hardy.
The Shetland ponies cannot be
worked until they are three or four
years old and they don't reach their
maturity until eight or nine years.

A couple of interesting posts
were abolished when the late Ed

One Of these, that Of Royal Rat
Catcher, had been in existence since
the days of Charles IL. The Royal
Rat Catcher had nice, easy time
and his job was much envied, see-
ing that he drew the comfortable
stipend of 81 ,250 90 year, toge,h-
er with an allowance of $1,000 for
terriers and $4,000 for ferrets.
This office furnished occasion for
many witty sallies in Parliament
up 10 the time Of the accession of
Albert Edward.
The other office that the late
King Edward VI abolished was
that Of the Kings Ale faster.
This post carried with it nice
salary and the pleasant duty Of
sampling the ales that were sup
piled to the Royal table.
Among the old Offices yet retain
ed may be mentioned the Steward
ship Of the Chiltern Hundreds.
The original duty of this officer
was to drive out brigands from the
G hiltern Hills, but it is now a
purely nominal Office that every
Member of Parliament must accept
before he is permitted to resign
his post. 1t does not carry much
of salary however-only IS 90

Parliament having stepp. d out of
his position, by accepting this,
forthwith resigns it.
