sixhorse teams swung on to the show lot of a southern- town under the warm sun of a sunday afternoon in early octo ber crowds of sightseers watched elephants pulling bigtop and mena gerie centre poles upright while groups of racing youngsters followed cages of wild animals as they rolled smartly to resting places near their rapidly rising canvas destination teams of horses used for hauling were making for their long low tents jangling traces cro over their backs the cookhouse where sbrty cooks and waiters tolled busily at ranges and tables making ready the sunday dinner drew the attention of many of the visitors especially the women twenty elephants picketed in the open swayed to and fro in the midst of a curious throng a fourteenyearold boy freckled blueeyed wearing a cap a blue jer sey and newly washed overalls gaaed at the elephants eagerly steadily he had watched them step gingerly down the ramps leading rom their railway car and bad followed thern on the long hike to the lot nothing that the great creatures and their keepers had done bad escaped his eye nothing the keepers had said in the handling of their charges he had not beard a big man walking swiftly across the lot suddenly halted for a moment he inspected the largest of the ele phants jim i he called to the head bull man dont work trilby to day keep her out of the parade to morrow shes looking a ltle run dosm yes sir answered- jim h will do her good shes showing her aoe this fall the freckled boy was all attention as the big man turned to walk away the boy ran to bis side mister he said do you want to hire

gaaed into the boys frank pleading blue eyes and checked an impluse to refuse gently perhaps he recalled the day when he as a boy of sixteen had dodged among guy ropes and wagons until he had reached buffalo blws private tent with a like request perhaps he remembered the words of the famous scout and xn dlan fighter spoken with the warm cody chuckle major burke kindly take this young man to the front door and tell sam to investigate if that part is all iteht tell saw i said to put the lad to vork anyway the ug man put his hand on the boys shoulder turning toward jim and the elephants again

animal bat ive got k bxigbt and willing badly elephant here reasoned the boy it seems to me that snyders jess would develop au be learned to take steps just as those of a human bajby then began weeks of eareful pa tient teaching weeks that meant much in the circus business for there in the winteruarters elephant barn henry wallace evolved the greatest act even seen to america an elephant wsjldng hundred feet on bis bind legs carrying his trainer on- his tusis yes that was the goal henry had in mind that first whiter and gradually he approached it- by the time the trick was perfected snyder was as large as any of the old ele phants with the circus and he was still growing henry kks become boss of the bigshow menagerie as well as of all the elephants and through those years the affec tion between snyder and henry had strengthened several times the frightened herd stampttnghadbeen halted dyhenrys calling to snyder steady snyder dome herel and where in a herd of twenty elephants there is one that will heed its trainers call no matter how terrified a cir cus is indeed fortunate for stampedes of frighterased elephants are terrible things which cause staggertogpro perty loss and frequently stamp out human lives but the call snyderl come here never tailed to bring the young ele phant growing into a magnificent tusker to henry and in this response snyder was always aided by old mora mother of the herd for old mom wise and knjwmg that the de sires of the menfolk were always for the best ever followed snyder when henrys cry rang out and as old mom turned so turned the herd trans formed to a twinkling from a tremen dous rushing and irreststahle force of destruction to twenty scared ele phants relying on henry for protec tion from that which had frightened them in idaho henry gave orders to the bull men to take the elephants in to the shallows of the snake river for a bath take them in two at a tune and stay with em be ordered however it was but a short tune be fore one of the men came running and yelling vddly for henry who without waiting for the runners story mounted his horse and raced for the river one look at the edentaants which had waded to mid channel

house hold pet and singer is undoubted one of the most interesting- of the feathered kind a large number of beautiful specimens oompose the at- tractive canary family few persons are aware of the fact that canaries have not been always a famllpfef beautiful birds but it is true thatftbelt beauty and todlviiluauv tyare manmade this bird was first found to the canary inlands from which it ac quired its name there was nothing any more attractive about ltfl ap pearance than bur common sparrow having a dullcolored feathering but its singing- voice was noticeable it was in the early part ofthe six teenth century that ft merchant from europe who was trading with gthe canary islands nofloed the remark able voice of the little birds of those- islands he captured an enormous number of them and set out for europe hoping to sell them as song mrde tfthe ship was wrecked but foruriate- ly a sailor thought to free the birds they took refuge on the nearest point of jand which happened to be the lale of elba here their number in creased rapidly very soon after the shipwreck they w transported to large numbers in to the countries of europe then be gan the breeding and domestication which brought about marked changes in their appearance in every european country they were bredv with various other- birds this has been continued until there s an unlimited variety of species throughout the world the german productions are the most famous one of the most fascinating things relating to canaries is the training of their singing voices in doing this a number of the birds are put u a room together with a canary organ which is placed to a comer at first the mphlnf is sounded so as to imitate the whistle of the ordinary untutored canary then by gradual steps the sound is improved until it has reached an hrritp of the highest standard of canary voice birds that reach the nn are easily sold at a handsome price others are priced in county co unc1l accordance to the heights they reach in some cases only the m birds are given the vocal training and this is done just before their brooding by this method the mother bird is able to translate the notes correctly to her little ones m most cases the brood of a good stoging mother bird becomes good singers merely through the guidance of their maternal teach ing canary breeding is a principal in dustry in many countries of the world and it is unfortunately for the birds a profitable one the county council mot in milton tuesday nov 17u when practically only routine business was transacted the whole session being taken up with committees

carefully and far down the bank saw where a bend of the river scarcely three hundred yards above the valb diverted and scattered the force of the rushing strasfi ahead of the etruggllng el ha galloped

relaxed in the glow of a surging thankfulness then he had his arm about snyders trunk while oftethy one the rest of the herd following old mom nosed into a circle about him as though to offer an expresskov of their gratitude andl so it went onthrongb the years the comrades between snyder and henry trnoughoat the show- world men marveled at it snyder became known among animal men not only as the greatest at an per forming elephants but as the mighti est worker of all captive pswhyderms tales were told of us p at the hagenbeck zoo to oetintny at tbe elephant stockades in burma and ceylon

known i once had friends living in phila delphia who bought a puppy of no particular breed fhey simply wish ed to own a dog and were not fussy about its having a proud pedigree in due season the- animal grew to ma ture dogbood but unfortunately it did not show signs of much intelli gence iii tact it was downright stupid to all its carryingson so stupid that the various nieinbers of the family finally decided that a bet ter and a brighter dog should be se cured to take its place all this occurred a good many years ago when the common mariner of npg of a dog or cat was to carry it away and drop it down to a section where it was to be hoped somebody would want- the discarded creature more keenly than did tbe ones who were disposing of it the society for the preventon of cruelty to animals and the animal rescue league were not then functioning to the splendid humane pianner which they are today so as one of uw inembers of the family was to make a trip by ran of a dozen miles over many bridges and king bund devious ways it was de cided to give the dog a ride and turn it loose in a strange section where someone might be yearning for just such an animal the journey was made and by night the dog was away to the darkness the poor homeless victim of its own- helpless stupidity all because it didnt have brains enough to endear itself to members cf its own family en justltw to his meuiiien of the fam- ly it should be said that then- con sciences pricked them not a little at the rather cruel manner in which they had disposed of the unwanted unfortunate member of their house hold they hoped he would find a home to which canine intelligence was not to such keen demand and so tbey slept and the next morning when they arose tbey found waiting at their door the dog they had- carried away because he lacked intelligence they greeted him with great surprse and with lcvlng kind ness the fact that he was able to make bis way home oyer so blind and dintcult a route convinced them that they possessed a dog that should ever after be given the friend liest of care for its high degree of intelligence if for nothing more and it was given just that a spinster of fortune died recently at telgnanouth devonshire who for the last 39 years has led a most ex traordinary life one evening in the year 1858 being then in her thirtyeight year and ln perfect health she retired bo rest as usual the following morning she remarked that bed was the most com fortable place to tbe world and an nounced her intention of r there for the rest of her natural life and she did from that day until trie day upon which she was placed in her coffin she never got up again although re maining to within a few months of her death in the best of health tor two years she lay in an upstairs room but for tbe last 37 years her bed was placed in one on the ground floor coniananding the entrartce to the house and grounds from this vant age point by an ingenious arrange ment of mirrors she could see every thing that went on around the house and in the gardens while her sense of hearing became so acute that noth ing transpired inside its four walls which escaped her attention neither the death of her father nor that of her mother which took place after she had retired for this long rest operated to alter her resolution on the matters decease she found her self possessor of the property 8hc had the house locked up at 9 oclock every night and the keys put on a table jtt her bedside she porved an excellent woman of tmsuaess trans acting all her affairs managmg her servants entertaining her guests and revising her visiting list without turn tog counterpane so to speak neither did she change her diet in any way but despite her recumbent habit of life continued to eat her usual meals dining at 8 and consuming such things as ducks game peaches perk and all things indigestible and taking her cof- mt fee and liqruors regularly all her life doctors visited her but she had no need of their prescriptions and it was only a few months asm that the effects of her extraordinary manner of life began to be visible then she gradually broke up the m men who made a post mortem rramlna- tlon of her remains found that her hearts and lungs were free from dis ease so that had she led an ordinary existence she would in all probability have lived for another 10 or is years at her

of things dot live tn trees rds end monkeys and you sho ahnt got no teathera on you economic and canada as it is aptly put to the of ficial circular containing details of the 1931 national service loan the offering of this considerable amount of bonds to investors is one of the most important financial unaer- tnhngb this country has ever wit nessed certainly since the war days when victory bonds were offered m large amounts and readily subscribed to save the country from foreign ag gression now the necessity has arisen of saving the country from economic conseauences of an extraordinary character and that the public will respond with the same promptness is as uncjuestloned as when canada stood on the verge of a cataclysm to the darkest days of the great war owing to worldwide c economic problems are confro canada which require tbe public to respond with the same promptness and in the same measure as when canada raced the darkest days of the oreat war that is why the present appeal for funds is being made one of the important features of this issue is that the public will re ceive a little more than 5 per cent on their investment the bonds are being issued to mature at the end of ave years according to the wishes of investors the ave year bonds are priced at 99u and the ten year ma turity at os both classes can be ob tained in denominations of 500 and tl000 but the ave year issue can also be obtained in 100 lots lfhlch will appeal to people of modest means the interest dates are may 15th and novensbef 15th the interest rate starting to accrue from nov 15th 1913 fully registered bonds of larger denonodtnaions running up to as high as 100000 are also obtainable with the interest payable on these direct to the holder by government cheque all the banks in canada and then- branch offices are authorised to accept subscriptions as well as all recognised bond dealers throughout the domin ion general feeling in wellinformed financial circles is that there win be adequate response on tne part of the investing public to make this issue a great success there is profound con fidence among bankers and other lead ers in the realm of finance that cana dians can be depended upon to back up their country with their money when call is made for their assistance that there is a large amount of money awaiting favourable opportuni ty for investment m some highclass security such as a government bond provides is unquestioned the public have sayings in the various banks ag gregating upwards of 1600000000 tins total approximates art increase of 48000000 over tbe figures of a year ago which goes to ahotw that the public atejtlsplaytog pronounced ha bits of thrift one of the heartiest signs possible for any country to ex hibit besides this source of purchasing power it is stated on good authority that trust companies hold a substan tial reservoir of funds which wujd come into service to connection with just such an offering as the lfntoon of canada is making through the de partment of finance at ottawa these are encouraging factors which ought to crown the offering with suc cess if the public at large second the efforts of financial organisations
