AFTER MANY DAYS"

Truth is sometimes stranger than
fiction Rev. John Pate. who is sup
plying the church at Hot Springs dur
ing the month of July. had a pleasant
surprise the other day
While minister of the Presbyterian
church, Miniota, Manitoba. he had the
misfortune to lose beautiful finger
ring, with the Masonic and Oddfellows'
emblems engraved thereon. 1t was a
gift from friends. and was highly
priced. That was in the year 1916, and
mr. Pate had given up all thought of
seeing it again. Judge Of his surprise
when he found in his mail, last Fri
day, little carton containing the ring,
with letter stating that while Lift
ing some vegetables out of the manse
garden in Miniota, a week or two ago,
a lady found the ring in the SOIL
and his name appearing on the inside,
had it forwarded to him 1t was none
the worse for having lain all these
years covered over by mother earth.
The lady who found the ring was
one of the many who had been joined
in wedlock by Mr.. Pate during his
ministry in that part of Canada.

Property Owned by Nobody"

Nobody has property rights that
are respected In England
Every now and then the efforts Of
county authorities to acquire q piece
of land for public purposes disclose
that the land Is owned ny nobody"
Two plots near Hampton court re-
Gently were discovered TO he such no
man's land" When the Surrey County
council tried TO buy them. and similar
cases have turned up In the older and
poorer parts OF London.
The usual procedure is TO have such
land valued by disinterested person
and the money paid into court ny the
county council or incorporated town.
Then If "nobohdy" ever shows up he
can collect his money. knowing that
his rights were looked after while he
was gone.

Bones of Animals Long
Extinct Found in Hawaii

Bones of an extinct ground sloth,
the first ever found on the island of

cast further light on the animal life

the Smithsonian institution.
La Gonave. probably the most prim-
tive part of Haiti, WAS combed for
two weeks for bones of creatures
which have disappeared from the
earth. The sloth. no larger than a
