Exhorting the Ducks.

There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request, and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The 9TH
er day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtub, and
strangely enough the ducks were more
dnclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
temps to keep the misguided ducks
straight. the older boy shouted:
Stand up, duck, stand up!" Then
two-year-old, noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex-
horted: "'Tand up, duck! 'Tand up
for Jesus!"

1.-THE Grand Old Man of Highgate
Ponds" William Mckenzie, long
known as grandfather by his fellow
members Of the Highgate Lffebuoys
club, has passed away at his North
London home. He was in his ninety
third year.
Up to six weeks ago Mr.. Mckenzie
was bathing in Highgate Ponds, where
he had bathed for many years. His
unfailing regularity at the age Of 90
probably constitutes a record in nata-
ton. Until three years ago he joined
in the winter lifebuoy bathing sports.
His practice was to walk over the
two miles from Highburg and back for
his swim.-London Chronicle.

The sixth Of August was calm and warm,
the sun shone brightly and the innumerable
pans of floating ice glistened under the slant

the mouth Of Whale sound.

said Mat Henson, who had come aboard from
the Roosevelt to take charge of the hunt; and
Mat knew, for he had hunted walrus in Whale
sound many time.
In half an hour several pans of walrus had
been sighted-it was then four in the morn

Henson, two Eskimo and myself in a rowboat;
Whitney, with a crew, in the launch We
were soon busy. When an animal was killed

tricks Of the trade" we're soon learned, for
instance: walrus killed in the water would
sink nine times out of ten, and unless there

ice pan, unless killed instantly-he would
slide off into the water and sink

stop on the Labrador coast, in the midst of a
thunderstorm. Turnivik is fishing station,
and here Capt. Bob Bartlett said good-by to
his father, Capt. William Bartlett, who is
owner Of the station.
The run through Davis strait, across Baf-
fin and Melville bays, around Cape York and
into North Star bay, where we waited for the
Roosevelt, consumed nine days, during which
time we overhauled our outfit, worked on
sail for the whaleboat and fshed for guls that
wouldn't bite. We crossed the arctic circle

August, having stopped at Cape York to pick
up dogs and natives, and at the suggestion OF

in the morning with three Eskimo guides,
steering our power whaleboat west through
Wolstenholm sound to where Saunders island
lifts its steep, bare sides, washed on the west
by the open water of Bafin bay. In the sound
and about Saunders island congregate the old
bull walrus, while further north in the Whale
sound regions are found only the COWS and
young bulls.
OF the eastern end of the island one of
the Eskimo pointed to black spot on a float
ing cake Of ice, and as we pushed nearer the
black turned to dirty brownish yellow, soon
easily recognized as two big walrus bulls lying
asleep on the ice pan. The engine was stopped
and the boat drifted up quietly. Two Eskimo
stood in the bow with harpoons ready, stood
next, and the others somewhere behind me.
When within about 30 feet both walrus raised
their heads, showing long white tusks and
thick necks crisscrossed with scars. As Whit
