La Salle had leit Fort Fromenae some time after La Motte, intending to go to the site of the fort he projected at the onth of the Ni agara. However, he narrowly escaped boing shipwrecked, and landed at the wouth of the Genesse river. He visited the - chief Seneca village, met the chiefs; and obtained their consent to the building of a vessel above the Niagara cataract, ana the establish ing of a fortified warshouse at the mouth of the river, He immediately set to work to build the vessel. All the scols, rope, eie., were carried across the neck of land between Lewis ton, on the lower river, and the point seloeted by La Salle mbove the falls. This spot has heen well located on the Jackson Angevine farm, and there the monument to his memory and deeds has been erected. La Salle re- mained with the men until he saw the keel laid, and then be lod other men to the mouth of the river to take ad vantage of the permit of the Indians to erect a fortified warehouse. Two bloekhouses were built, and were later destroyed by fire while La Salle was absent at Fort Frontenac. La Salle arrived at Niagara again in August, 1679, only to find that his creditors ana enemies had well nigh ruined him. However, his boat, the Griffon, was ready to sail, and in the proceeds of a trading voyage be sought Gnancial aid.

They Met The Visitors. It 'was a thoughtful action of the 47th regimental band to go to Cape Vincent on Sunday to welcome the visiting American troops. As the troops disembarked from the train the band played ' 'Yankee Doodle," and as they were marching on boar the steamer St. Lawrence, they struck wp "The Stars and Stripes Forever." In friendly retaliation the 39th separate company's band, of Watectown, N.Y, playea "The British Grenadiers," an action much appreciated by the boys in red.

It is, perhaps, rue that such men are move easily amus- ed than the jaded brain-worker and mechanic in our modern centres of civilization, and what affords . en- tertainment to one might not appeal to the other. For instance, Mr. Alexander Tr , the well-known hunter and trapper of the Yarry Sound district, would sooner spend twenty-four hours in the woods than the same length of thue in a. thea tre, though the latter might ofier a bill to which even the heart of a callous first-nighter would respond with something akin to enthusiasm. Tremblay, on a recent visit to Te ronto, went to see a performance which had been réceived with favor by the critics and the public. I wearied him the crowds bothered him; the artificial light and the close atmosphere were not to his Hiking. The only incident in the whole show that gave him any pleasure was uo clever act by a number of trained dogs, and that only because he was confident that some of the canines would bave made good hunting dogs had they been trained from their puppyhood to "the great game." "Péepul, peepul.'"" he said in his quaint broken English, when speak- ing of his visit, "nothing but pee pul, an' stone an' brick, an' coal smoke. No tree, an' all the street so straight they run, onhe's head go swim. For me the woods, the lak', my gun an' pip'. What more'n dat to satisfy?" Fualed by His First Bear And some of those that heard sympathized because they under- stood, and those who did met quite catch his meaning joined with the others in demanding just "'ene morg story." He told more, and was persuaded to tell still another, pieced out at times by the comments and interjections of several who had witnessed with him some of the in- cidents he related His first bear, ""hee's verry fir't,"" fooled him, he says, with a merry twinkle of his decp-set eyes. It occurred when he was wandering through the nor- thern wilds of Quebec with the In- dikns who had adopted him, 'or whom he had adooted, "just w'at you HK'." He was at this tine about thirteen years of age, and the prod possessor of a musket, the first firearm with which be had been entrusted. Behold, them, not much taller than his weapon, and eager for adventure, setting off on his first lonely hunt. With every nerve strained he walked along, scanning the ground and brushwood for a trail. At last he found it--that of a fair-sized bear, With heart beat- ing high be followed it, until at last he found the animal, a bear of the male persuasion, vigorously tear- ing at a rotten log Child as he was, the inherited instinct of the hunter came to his aid and checked a sudden desire "to give vent to a vigorous whoop. Carefully he aimn- ed and fired, and the shot found its homie in bruin's shoulder, Mad- dened with pain, the animal thresh- ed wildly with its forepaws for a few moments and then started to run, Tremblay reloaded and fol- lowed. 'The blood-spattered tmuil was easily read for a considerable distance, and then hard and broken ground was reached; the signs grew fainter, and at last were alloge- ther lost. For two or three hovrs the lad searched, keen disappoint- ment and hope alternately in his heart, until at last his perseverance was rewarded and he found the bear lying close to a fallen tree, There flashed through his mind stories of the cunning of wounded animals, and he approached cautiously, halt- ing to fire another shot at the pros trate body. Not yet satisfied he fied again. Both shots found a mark near the bear's shoulder, and the animal made no sign. Trem- blay's imagination, however, was in full werking order, and he was con- fident that bruin had moved a paw and blinked an eye. He waited for stronger signs of vitality,-and then, in order to make assurance doubly sure, threw some stones at the ani- mal's head. Still the bear lay low, and at last young Tremblay walked boldly forward and nid a hand on bruin's side "Heem's near cold quite," he says when telling the story, "'an' heem's die of the first § shot. Wat's dat for hee's (I) heen fool?' Tired as he was he covered the animal with the heaviest slones he could lift, and returned trivughy ant, but with aching limbs, to the tent of his Indian friend, Bokko In the morning the whole family moved to the spot where the car- case lay, and did not leave it until the last edible morsel of bear had been disposed of.
