Ink slinqlnq In Parliament.

I have no wish to make odious COM
PARSONS between our legislators and
others, but having watched the pro-
ceedings of other parliaments feel
that we have no reason to fear COM
parison, says M. A. P. For instance,
I once looked on when the parliament
in Vienna was in full blast. There
was a party in the state there which
sought to advance its views by its
members banging the lid Of the desk
which each member had before him,
and thus causing an intolarable din.
These gentlemen / venture to describe
as the liddites of the Austrian parlia'
ment. Another group attempted to
make it's mark by throwing ink pots
across the chamber. have done some
lnk-slinging in my time, but the Prov
ess shown by these legislative ink
singers filled me with admiring de-
spair, and l would have called them
the Utilities had it not been for the
fact that they often missed. Now such
practices are unknown at Westminster
though it is only fair to acknowledge
that we do not give our members the
opportunity of banging lids or throw
ing ink pots.

WATERS ALL QUIT.
Hotel Full of Non-Tipping Ministers
Too Much for Them.

A mysterious walkout of walters &C.
Cured recently in Brooklyn at the
hotel where 300 Methodist ministers
met in an annual conference. Inc
walters, paid at the usual rate, asked
for extra money, and, not getting IT,
departed in body.
A second force was engaged, and
very shortly they, too, quit. leaving the
clergy in imminent peril OF famine.
Did the walters happen to be Pres
byterians? Was physical plague or
a spiritual contamination feared by
the garcons, who hesitated not to
serve saloon keepers and tainted
money kings? The ministers felt
hurt. Neither theology nor experience
seemed able to indicate the cause OF
this unjust discrimination.
A waiter, however. made every
thing clear and simple by saying:

DEER AND TROUT ON LINE.
Stories of Remarkable Catches Made
in North Woods.

To kill a deer and catch a trout at
the same time out-Nimrods Nimrod
and outIzaaks Walton. A fisherman
has just done the trick on the Arrow
lakes. The deer weighed 200 ponds
and the trout ten. The fisherman was
trolling for trout when several deer
swan past his boat. One was an old
buck and the man managed to catch
hold of him as he was going by.
Having no gun, he tried to Kill the
animal with a clasp knife, says the
Toronto Globe. The buck objected so
strenuously that he got away, swim
ming off with the fishing line upon
his horns. The fisherman bailed out
his boat and started in pursuit. After
two hours rowing he caught up with
the deer, and with oars and knife sue
Ceeded in Staying it. While the chase
was proceeding a big trout got on to
the hook and after the deer was safely
landed the fish was secured. 1t is
quite a common occurrence to see
deer swimming in the lakes of British
Columbia, but to capture one and
trout at the same time is infrequent
Conductor Mckay, of the Nakusp
and SLOGAN branch of the Canadian
Pacific railway, previously held hon
ors in Kootenay for securing a wild
animal in unique fashion. He, while
on a moving train near Nakusp, shot
and killed a big bear, but the fisher
man has put him in the shade. Even
the captain of the Okanagan lake
steamer, who secured an eagle by
shooting it from the pilot house, has
had his fame eclipsed; while Neil
Getthing, who tried to lasso a deer
from the deck of the old steamer w.
Hunter on SLOGAN lake, and failed by
a horns breath, Is quite outdistanced.
The only man who can come near

Of South Vancouver, who few days
ago killed an old bear and three cubs
who were eating his strawberries IN

Oh, the breath of the clover
Borne on each wandering breeze,
The blue sky bending over
The swaying whispering trees!
Wavelets ripple along the shore,
Birds sing in branches tall.
A thousand odors scent the air,
But the clover is over it all!
Wisconsin's greatest treasure
Up-springing in sturdy pride
In each tiny bit of friendly earth
By the sandy, rough roadside.
We give the praise to the clover
That Wisconsin can maintain
Her claim, the wide land over,
To a Just and merited fame.
Abloom are her fields with clover,
Its honey the busy bees gain
Her diaries are brimfuI and over
With the products that follow its
train.
So we sing song of Wisconsin.
Her lakes and her forests tall;
Her health-giving air, her sunsets
rare,
And her clover-best of all.
