NORTHERN GAME HOGS

The reports that tourists and others little interested in the deyeI- opment of the Northlaud are sIaush- tering game by the wholesale in the vicinity of Scolai pass deserve the careful attention of the Cana dian as well as the American OfliC- iaIs. Game in that region wanders to and fro across the boundary line, and belongs Lo Jhis side as much as 10 the other. Miners in that section have hardships enough yo endure to get their supplies into the remote locality without having to see the food supply which nature has provided kiled by oppuleut and heartIess kid-sloyed nOmads.

There are to be no technical pleas,

A Wartime Masonic Lodge.

The Mansfield (La.) Enterprise
says that two old brick buildings have
been demolished in that place which
had notable history. The second
story of one of these was the home
for many years OF De Soto Lodge and
De Soto Chapter, F. & A. NJ, where
hundreds of men had been enlisted
into the mysteries of Freemasonry.
1t was the most important Masonic
place in the State. On the morning
of April 8, 1854, the day after the
battle of Mansfield, the town was
crowded with wounded Federals and
Confederates. DR.. Wilson Godfrey
was Worshipful Master at that time,
and although too old 10 have entered
the army, he had fought at Mans
field as a citizen volunteer. He
found number of Masons among
the Federal prisoners, secured a tenn
porary parole for them, and with a
few old members of the Lodge who
were at home the Lodge was opened
in due form, with the prisoners par
tic ipating. There was terrible scar
city of medicine and medical sup
plies. and the result of the meeting
was that the Federal doctors made
a requisltion for a large supply OF
medicines, which was sent to Grand
Ecore under a flag OF truce, and hon
ored by medical supply boat a,
that place. The building was used
as hospital for number of months
and during that time frequent lodge
meetings were held with both Blue
and Gray in attendance.

FARM FABLES.

'ho's', says Ny Bunk, 'that
when there is real showdown, wo-
men have more nerve than men. l
used to know a little woman down in
Douglas county who wasn't much
more than five feet high, and who
wouldn't weigh more than a hundred
pounds, Her husband was a big.
mild-mannered man about six feet
high, but he had no more spunk than
a rabbit. They had a neighbor who
was a bully. He was one of the
meanest men, think, that the good
Lord ever permitted to live on this
terrestrial globe. He imposed on
everybody who would let him, and
his neighbor, Johnson, who was SO
meek and good-natured that he
would not quarrel with anybody, was
the big bully's meat. He would let
his cattle run in Johnson's fields and
even tear down the fence so that they
might get in. Johnson would go and
drive the stock out and fix up the
fence and the next night the bully's
cattle would be in again. Little Mrs.
Johnson was getting warmer and
warmer about it but she waited for
her husband to call the bully down.
At last Johnson did manage to pick
up spunk enough to make mild
protest, whereupon the bully, who
saw that he had his neighbor cowed.
flew into rage and proposed to whip
Johnson. Johnson said he wanted
no trouble and backed off toward his
own house. The bully followed him
up, cursing and abusing him, till he
got as far as Johnson's yard. That
was where he made his mistake.
Little Mrs. Johnson heard the talk
and ran out of the house to see what
was the trouble. She saw the bully
following her husband and abusing
him. Then trouble commenced.
She picked up hoe that was handy
and as the bully stepped into the
yard she brought the hoe down over
his head with a force that put him
out for the count. While he was
, dreaming, she grabbed rope, tied
his feet and hands and waited for
, him to come to. When he did she
I was ready for him with horse whip
, and before she let him up she made
, him weep and beg ior mercy. Now,
she said, as she turned the big bully
. loose, ''ii your cattle ever come onto
t this place again will shoot them.
, If you ever come over on this place
without my permission will whip you
, within an inch of your life. Now you
travel for home and don't look back.
Don't walk. Go on last trot. And
. that was the way he went. And ye,
