Let me tell you two people some
thing" Tom stood up and went at his
argument. They looked at him In open
pride. He was the sort they liked:
he was their kind of young man--sen-
sible, buslnessllke, mature; he didn't
wear wasplike clothes and sing and
dance around instead of talking like
human being.
And all the while he was drawing
picture Of the bad girl" of the day.

completely since you were youngsters.

Rt. Hon. Austen Chamberlain re-

In the Eghty-ninth British regiment
1t is said the will Is registered at
Goderich and Is dated at Montreal,
1S47. AS legal document 1t seems
to stand in class by itself. The main
portions follow:

the Township of Colborne, County and
district of Huron, Western Canada,
Esquire, being in sound health and
body, and my mind just MS usual
(Which my friends who flatter me say
Is no great shakes at the best of
times), do make this my last VIII 0nd
Testament as follows, revoklng, OF
course, all former Wills.
leave the property Of Gairbraid and
all other landed property l may die
possessed of to my sisters Helen Boyle
Story and Elizabeth Boyle Dunlop, the
former because shesi Is married to
Minister whom she henpecks--the lat
ter because she is married to nobody
nor Is she like to be, for she Is an OLD
maid and not marketrife, and also
leave to them, and their heirs, my share
of the stock and implements on the
farm, provided always that the en-
closure round my brothers grave be
reserved, and II either should die With
out issue, then the other to inherit fhe
whole.
leave to my sister-in-law, louisa
Dunlop, all my share Of the household
furniture and such traps with the ey'
ceptlons hereinafter mentioned.
leave my silver tankard to the eloH
est son of Old John as the representa-
tive Of the family, but he would melt
II down to make temperance medals
and that would be sacrilege-however
I leave my big horn snuff box to him
he can only make temperance horn
spoons of that
/ leave my sister Jenny my Bible,
the property formerly Of my great
great grandmother, Bethia Hamilton of
Wood Hall, and when she knows as
much of the spirit OF II as she does of
the letter, she will be another gulse
Christian than she Ia.
| also leave my late brothers watch
to my brother Sandy, exhorting him at
the same time to give up Whlggery,
radicalism and uli other sins that do
most easily beset him.
leave my brother Alan my big snuff
box, as am informed he Is rather a
decent Christian with jolly face.
leave Parson Chevasse (Maggy's
husband) the snuff box I got from the
Sarnia Militia, as small token of my
gratitude for the services he has done
the family in taking sister that no
man OF taste would have taken.
leave John Caddle a silver teapot
to the end that he may drink tea there
from to comfort him under the affilc-
ton of a slatternly wife.
leave my books to my brother

read with them.

FirGte Put Treasure
Beyond Human Reach

Surchurged with wild romance Is the
tale of Duval's hoard on the Rock Of
Perez, which lies off the coast OF
Gaspe Peninsula, province OF Quebec.
SO many people have lost their lives
in trying to climb up and recover the
treasure supposed to be hidden there
that the legislature of the province
has passed an net forbiddlng anyone
to try to scale the height without per-
mission.
The rock Is one of the natural Won
ders of the North American contI-
nent, Thousands of years ago some
terrific CONFUSION of nature must have
torn 1t from the nearby mountain and
left 1t standing 500 feet high with n
fiat top and unscalable sides. At one
time two caverns pierced the base on
the seward side, but one of them has
collapsed and left only the larger,
through which the sea thunders in
stormy weather.
When Captain Duval, the French
pirate, was hard pressed by the British,
he collected all his treasure and sailed
for the rock. A Micmac Indian with
whom he was friendly wormed his why
upward through an opening in the
greater of the caverns and, reaching
the top, threw down light line with
which he hauled up block and fall.
He pulled up two British prisoners,
then the captain himself Boats con
tanning the treasure stood by below.
Tradition says that the men were a
day and night in getting II all up.
Then the Indian and Duval came down.
The captains sword was bloody. With
muskets he and his men shot at the
tackle until they had cut II through nj
point so high on the rock that no one
could reach 1t. Captain Duval never
returned nor did any Of his men.
For two generations the rains rotted
the stout hemp ropes on the side Of the
cliff until Mt last they disappeared.
Though there are fishermen In Perez
whose grnndfathers saw the ropes, no
one knows what happened TO the two
prisoners and the chests Of treasure.

One Of the queerest orchestras In

The players are members Of n flock
Of pigeons carrying various kinds Of
light air whistles attached TO their
tails by fine wires Flocks Of the
birds flying through the air provide
unique and melodlous aerial concert,
says Popular Science Monthly. The
orlgInators Of this unusual idea are

used are OF two different typos--bam-

Monkeys in Demand
in English Cities

Quite considerable trade Is done
In monkeys In Liverpool and round
the London docks, says London An
swers.
In these days the great majority Of
the creatures arrive In sailing vessels,
Of which there are still quite num-
Der, because the big liners are usually
too busy to take notice of such arti-
Giles Of commerce.
The length Of the passage, too, has
often the advantage of accllmating
the little creatures before they arrive.
On vessel reaching the docks, the
animals are sold to Italian or Jewish
dealers at prices varying from IS
shlllings to f5 ($3.75 to $3.50. The
variations in the prices are due to the
different states of health in which the
monkeys arrive.
While In the hands Of middlemen or
brokers the little animals do not, on
the whole, have bad time Of It.
They are carefully fed and kept very
warm, and usually have plenty Of
room and romp about, or fight, which
they do continually. The broker has
numerous Assistants" chiefly among
the Italian ice-cream or organ-grinder
fraternity.
When he has found his customer the
broker often has to receive payment
by installments, and Of course makes
correspondingly high profit, charg-
Ing for q small "tnckO" at least IL
shllllngs. Very often the poor little
beasts die from consumption, their
great enemy in these northern lati-
tudes, before the payments are com
plete; and It Is not uncommon for an
organ grinder to be paying for dead
and a living animal at the same time
On the whole, the "pugs." as they
are known In the trade, are well treat
ed, and II 1t we're not for the change
able climate they would live decld-
eddy happy life.
