strayed away last Thursday eve
ming he encountered a very large
gaunt bear who seemed to resent his
presence there. Mr.. Arbo was un-
armed, having not even a jack knife
with him but he would run a ways,
then face the bear and holler, then
run again. Finally the bear cornered
him but Mr.. Arbo had procured two
clubs and with these drove the an
imal off and reached home without
scratch. Mr.. Arbo was born and
brought up on that farm, which is
just north of Brownville township.
and has travelled in the woods rs
years and he says this is the largest
bear he ever saw and the only one
that didn't hurry to get out of his

he ever called for help. The bear

up to see it's mouth. Later a search

GRAVE HUNTERS STILL BUSY
Gangs of Searchers Wander About in
Quest of Overlooked Bodies of
Fallen Heroes.

TO the east, south and north stretches
an ugly, shell-chopped lifeless terrain,
where gangs of body snatchers" (the
1ommys' name for grave hunters) are
still wandering. Now and then, in
some out-of-the-way, grass-sn1ffed
crater they still find q weather-soaked
uniform. gray or khaki with a human
skeleton inside it, They gather the
bones together in a sack and carry
them back to headquarters.
Or, they find a forgotten grave. proh.
ably marked by little rain-blackened
wooden cross. The battle area is dot
ted with these crosses-the only epi-
taph, on some being rusty trench he'll

dig up the bodies, put them In sacks,
too, and bring them away for reburial.
Wrecked tanks, wagons, trucks, am
munition dumps, pill boxes are scat
tered up to the horizon. Four miles
down the Menin road from Ypres many
British tanks lie In one field, called the

IRELAND AND THE SHAMROCK
That the Two Are Inseparable Has
Been Proved by Plants Refusal to
Grow Elsewhere.

The shamrock and 1reland--Ireland
and the shamrock-the two are insep-
arabic, writes Katherine Edelman.
When shamrocks refuse to bloom, then
surely must ireland die; then surely
must Irish hearts cease their longings
for glimpse Of the green fields of old
Erin, and then surely must the land Of
poetry, Of sentiment, of romance, be
thing that is no more. And IL the
spirit OF Ireland should dIe--then. too,
would the little green plant wither on
its stem. and refuse to bloom again.
What wealth of memories and as
soeiations Is intertwined with the
precious little green plant What Won
derful tales and legends we have been
told about 1t in the good old days
when fairies roamed over every Irish
hillside and when Ireland was an en-
chanted land. And who can doubt their
truth when we know that the sturdy
little plant refuses to bloom in any
other land outside of its own green
isle? Time after time 1t has been
taken by loving hands and transplant
ed to other countries, but always only
TO perish. And. sure, why wouldn't it
be so, when st. Patrick blessed the lit
tie plant and called 1t the emblem of
the fairest isle under all Gods sky?

QUEUE IS SIGN OF BONDAGE
Remarkable That Chinese Have Come
to Look Upon 1t With a De-
gree of Pride.

If the Germans had won the war,
would they have made us wear mig
tails-in order that they might have
something to yank us around by. And
would they have applied their eff
cheney to new system of punishment
perhaps with different number of
yanks for each offense against our con
quering masters? The zeal with which
patriotic Cinnamon cultivate the
queues that they consider a sort of m.
uonal distinction, and the fact that
those Cinnamon in other countries who
discard them are forever considered
outcastS is indeed paradoxicaI For
the plgtail is sign of bondage the
earmafK of conquered race. Cen
turtles ago ancient China had civil
zauon all its own. But on every side
she was surrounded by warrior hordes
lhat coveted the riches and luXurieS nj
the more advanced people and
hafassed them continually. Finally
overcome by IL barbarian host tho
chinese were reduced to stote of
serNi'ity. One of the exactions Of tha
conquerors was that the men grow
long queues, by which, ms thev hav
by on their horses, they actually fool,
hoid OF the helpless creatures to swing
them before them to the saddle or 70

IRELAND'S HOPE

Tho prestige OF our Gaelic race
Our poets and our heroes fame,
Oppression never could erase,
Nor dim the light OF freedoms flame
Through centuries OF cruel wrong.
Though crushed, we never were sub
dued;
our love on liberty e'er strong
with hope and faith we were imbued.
The grandeur IL the bygone years
She sheds it's glamour on our path
And made ua smile amidst our tears,
Exult despite our foemen's wrath.
Disunion, fostared by our foes,
Left Us beneath the English sway;
United, all our nations woes
Had never traced in blood our way.
Bot now a brighter day has dawned
Upon the land we love 50 WELL
no more shall Erin's rights be pawned
BY sectarics with purpose fell.
THE ancient language OF our race
Shall be again the nations tongue.
And peace and comfort will erase
The mem'ries which our hearts have
wrung
hen rival creads and factions fight
No longer shall embrol our land,
and Ireland's children for her rights
In harmony win take their stand.
In Tara's ruined. silent hall
Where Irish monarchs once held state,
Music and gladness will recall
The times when we were famed and
great.
Then when our night OF grief and shame
lis ended and we're glad and free,
We'li build fame to Emrnet's name
Who died for Irish Liberty.
NEIL MACDONALD.
