CHERRY. THE CANARY.

Last Fourth of July, instead of get
ting fireworks, my brother and I got
canary bird. He Is a lovely singer,
and sometimes he sings so loud that
we have to tell him to be quiet. The
more we talk, the louder he sings.
Whenever my father or uncle comes
into the room, CHEEKY begins to flut-
ter his wings and make his little
mouth go so hard that he can hardly
talk in his little bird language.
CHEEKY does not like to take bath
at all, and the only way he gets one
is when mother puts him in bowl of
water and covers him with colander
and makes him walk around in the
water. But when she takes him
out and puts him back in his cage
the first thing that he does is to try
to get in his water cup and take an
other bath in that.-Doris Staunton,

FIGHT WITH BRIGANDS.

Two nights ago a band of brigands
attacked the railway station of Ro-
setti on this line. Choosing the hour
of midnight they approached the sta
tion, which is desolately situated, and
commenced their attack on the dwell
ing of the telegraph clerk, which
stands some 200 yards from the sta
tion itself.
This official possesses a savage
watchdog, but the brigands silenced
it by throwing to it dead fowls stolen
from the adjacent shed. Then they
proceeded to force an entrance by a
back window, thinking they had an
easy task, the only inhabitants being
the clerk and his wife.
They reckoned, however, without
their host, for hardly had they begun
to force the window when a door was
thrown open and shot from Mar
tint rife stretched one bandit dead.
This threw the others into disorder.
They rushed from the yard. the
clerk following, but seeing he did not
fire again (havingrecklessly advanced
without loading) they turned on him
with the knives and axes with which
they were armed, and for moment
his death seemed certain, when his
courageous young wife ran forward
and fred with a shotgun with which
she had armed herself, and another
brigand fell wounded. Picking up
their companion they, fairly cowed,
now took to their heels. The clerk
and his wife, loading, followed them,
but unfortunately both fell in the
dark, the band making their escape.

BAGGING A POLAR BEAR.

| DAddlNd n IOlLAGt DGAft.
To be frozen in for winter at
Cape Bathurst, on the Arctic Ocean,
Is an experience described In re-
cent number of Recreation. The
ship was on a whaling cruise and was
well loaded. They had about sixty
dogs, and had secured several car
casses of walrus, and cached them on
the ice as food for the dogs.
One morning, says the captain,
who tells the story, my Indian boy,
Neponack, came running up the
plank, shouting at the top of his
voice that there was bear near the
ship.
| am not much of a hunter, but 1
object to being run over by game; so
l always keep a rifle and belt of car
trldges within reach. l grabbed
them and started to look for the bear.
AS / drew near the meat cache
saw big polar bear, with his head
down In the barrel, helping himself
vigorously. The whole pack of sixty
dogs were leaping, barking and
bowling about him. The bear paid
no attention to them, and they all
seemed afraid to take hold of him.
walked up to within hundred
yards and took a shot at old Ursus
arcticus.
When the ball hit him he leaped
into the air, and as he came down on
the ice the entire pack of dogs "lit
into him.
The bear let out in all directions
with his great paws, and at every
blow some poor dog was sent shriek-
ing and spinning across the ice.
AS soon as the bear had thinned
out the pack sufficiently to escape,
he struck out across the ice-hoe for
bit of open water half mile away.
At that stage of the game there
were but three dogs in the whole
pack that wanted bear. The others
had had more than they cared for.
But in a few seconds the race was
reversed, and the dogs were coming
for the ship as If they had been shot
out of a gun, and the bear was after
them. This was my chance, and I
fired again, and my shot finished him.
BY this time the whole crew had
come out to see the fun. We put a
line around the bears neck and
dragged him on board, where we
skinned him.
While the fight was going on, I
would have sworn the bear would
weigh ton, but when we got him on
deck he seemed to have grown much
smaller. Still, he was good-sized
animal.

WISDOM OF ELEVEN.

The latest definition of the woman
suffragist is furnished by a strong
minded girl of eleven, who attends q
certain fashionable private school. AT
a Sunday luncheon recently this child
announced to her parents that she
was going to hear debate on woman
suffrage.
"The class Just above the one I'm
in Is holding it," she said Importantly
"The debaters are reading up a lot
for it, and they said l must be sure
to come"

her, you don't know anything about

TALE OF PERvERsIvE JANE.

Great-grandma had received let
ter by post. 1t was not in an envel-
ope, though at first glance at the out
side 1t would seem so. There were
no envelopes in those days. It was
written on large sheet of paper,
curiously folded and sealed with red
wax. It came from the Philadelphia
cousins and in formal, gracious lines
gave family news and good wishes.
It also said that in seventh month,
Cousin Benjamin and Cousin Caroline
were to visit in the town, and their
youngest daughter, Cousin Jane,
would accompany them. Great
grandma and great-grandpa talked
about it at breakfast, as told by Har-
riet Mendenhall in the Churchman.
"They will be welcome guests here.
They will spend the afternoon with
us and take tea, and doubtless we
shall see much of them"
Harriet, Sue and Mary heard. They
saw the letter, too. Letters were rare
in those days. They saw the impress
of the seal on the red wax. 1t was
an hour-glass and the motto, "Time is
short" They knew how 1t was done,
for they had seen father seal letters.
When they grew up they meant to
write letters and have seal them
selves.
They were glad Cousin Jane was
coming. She had wavy, brown hair
and bright, brown eyes. She laughed
merrily and she liked to see Gyp
stand and beg. When three odd shoes
were found in his kennel and father
wondered to whom they belonged,
and mother declared she could not
have a dog that stole from the neigh
bors. and the little girls trembled for
Gyp's fate, Cousin Jane had laughed
gayly. She said he would be the
family provider; and she and Harriet
and Sue and Mary made calls up and
down the street to restore the prop
erty. The children thought it grave
offense, but nobody scolded Cousin
Jane, at which they were somewhat
puzzled. So Harriet. Sue and Mary
we're glad she was coming. Cousin
BENJAMIN and Cousin Caroline were
like other people who visited or dined
and of whom the children had
glimpses. Cousin Jane was different.
"Thy ways are perversive." father
said once. He smiled in the saying
and mother smiled also. The little
girls thought perversive meant pleas

It was toward the end of the Sixth

breakfast the little girls went into the
garden to gather currants from the
bushes. Mother was to make jelly

A LABRADOR RESCUE.

In his work among the people of
the Labrador coast DR.. Wilfred T.
Grenfell has often imperiled his life.
One such instance is given in his
book, "Ardift on an Ice-Pan," in
which is told the story of his remark
able escape from death. What fol-
lows-an account of the rescue-is
all the more impressive from being
told in the homely words of one of
the rescuers.
One day about a week after DR..
Grenfell's return two men came in
from Griquet, fifteen miles away.
They had walked all that distance,
although the trail was heavy with
snow. 1--WE just felt we must see
