Winning . Reputation.

An amusing story of how he won the title of being the champion cocoanut shier among the clergy is told by the bishop of Chelmsford.
 He informed a gathering of clergy men. says the London Globe. that when vicar of Bethnal Green he took a party of workingmen to Epping forest and was there challenged to have a shy at the cocOanuts.
 He accepted and. paying his sixpence. was given seven balls. Then some thing happened which would not hap pen again were he to live to be as old an Methuselah. With those seven balls he knocked of seven cocoanuts. He has lived on the reputation of that feat ever since. and when any one asked him to have a cOcoanut shy he said. You go and knock seven of with seven balls and then will speak to you" B: .+'

BATTLE FIELD TACTICS.

Operations Involved in Consolidating .
 Position.
 In military reports and accounts or battles one often comes across the phrase consolidating position with. out knowing just what 1t means.
 Consolidating a position means to so prepare 1t that it will offer the maximum resistance to an attack on the part of the enemy and the maxi mum protection to the troops hold ing 1t. ~7
 Where trenches have been captured the first thing to be done is to make them face the opposite way from that in which they have faced. This is done by building loopholes and over head covers on the side exposed to the enemy. which. of course, prior to the capture was the rear of the trench.
 When trenches have been partially destroyed by shell fire or mine explo' sions and then captured they have to be rebuilt facing the enemy. As no communicating trenches exist leading from the captured trench to the one the attackers came from. they have to be built connecting with this main position in such way as to prevent the enemy from taking it in the flank.
 All this work and any other which may be done to strengthen the cap- tors hold IS meant when a report speaks of consolidating a position Spokane Spokesman-Review.

The Best ef All, Though Not the Swift.
 est, Is the Polar Bear.
 Nearly all animals are better swim mers than man and take to the water naturally, while he has to learn to pro pei himself The rhinoceros and hip. popotamus are wonderful swimmers and divers. while the Indian elephant crosses great rivers with heavy loads. The elk and the reindeer are first class swimmers. The elk keeps his head above water and crosses directly from bank to bank to avoid turning. The reindeer. on the other hand, turns as often as he likes, keeping his head only little above the surface.
 But of all swimmers of all climes the best. though not the swiftest. is the polar bear. who passes half his time in the water swimming and diving. His swimming power is nothing short of miraculous if it be remembered that the water in the regions he frequents is invariably cold and that cold Is nor mally prohibitive to good swimming. There are bears that can swim from forty to fifty kilometers without great effort.
 One of the swiftest swimming ami mals is the squirrel. A sportsman on one occasion. having at hand squirrel born in captivity. which had never seen water. wanted to see if 1t could swim and took it with him in row. boat to the center of lake. The squirrel turned toward the bank. head and paws above the water. back and tail underneath 1t, and began to swim SO rapidly that it was with the great est difficulty that the man recovered 1t when 1t reached the shallow water near the land It is said that even many nonaquatic birds will swim like ducks if m attempt be made to drown them.-Pearson's Weekly.

CANVASS SHOWS COUNTRY
 DOES NOT WANT TEDDY

Is Theodore Roosevelt growing in favor as possible Republican nomi- nee for the presidency, was the ques- tion put by the Chicago Herald to it's correspondents in the forty-eight states, asking for an analysis of pop ular sentiment. The message sent out by the newspapers was as follows:
 "Is there any increase in sentiment tor Roosevelt for republican nomina- tion for president in your state and z reighborhood? If so, among what classes? Are any of his opponents of three years ago now for him?"
 The replies which have been re- ceived show some noteworthy results. About 70 per cent state that the ex- president is not growing in favor as a possible Republican candidate, and two-fifths of these, or 20 per cent of the total, go further than this and assert that the colonel has fewer sup porters today than in 1912. The re- maining 40 per cent of the corres- pondents assert that in their states an increasing sentiment for Roose- welt is discernible.
 Judging from the replies, Roose- welt and his attitude are the absorb ing topic in the talk of politicians and party rank and file. It is widely ad- mitted that he is force to be reck- oned with when the national conven- tion meets in Chicago, and that to stand chance of winning the. ticket named must be one that will gain his approval.

HALIBUT VESSEL THAT
 NEVER WET A LINE

An instance of how money can be lost in halibut fishing ventures is shown in the recent dismantling of the Royal City. The vessel which was originally a torpedo boat de- destroyer was laid aside by. the British government many years ago. She was used as a tug boat for a time, but went ashore and after be- ing salyed her steam engines were taken out. and the hulk lay around Van :ouver harbor until 1t was finally purchased by Capt. Betts who insrall- sAa 75 h. p. gas engine in the vessel, and at the same time her rounded decks were built up with wood, and everything possible was done to make her halibut fishing vessel. On her first trip she broke down in Seymour NarIcws and returned to port for re- pairs. On her second trip she got as far as Alert Bay when she again broke down and was lowed back to Vancouver and laid up for two years. A few weeks ago the gas engine was removed, and she again lays. in Van <puver harbor a hulk. Although over Io,0n0 was spent to fit her up for halibut fishing she never, wetted . line, and every cent which was. in- vested is gone except what little may possibly be realized from the sale of the 'econd-hand engine-Pacific I"sh- erman.
