The story of a terrific fight between an Eskimo and a Jota bear is brought from the Arctic slopé by JujiroWada, the. Ja musher. In middle of December a na- tive named Nigakuse was in his snow house, when on looking out through the peculiar little place of exit he saw a polar bear. The man seized a rifle and went out fo give battle to the great white brute. Thinking it was best to let the besar get wilhin close range and then to plug him with the leaden pellet, and thus make no miss shot, the Eskimo let the bear advance to within a few paces. Nigakuse raised his rifle, took steady aim down the glistening barrel and creeked the finger. The next rhomént when the native expected to look the lifting wraith of smoke and see the prostrate form of a blood-stained giant, he was horrified to realize that the rifle had failed in its service, and that with the clogged barrel he was at the mercy of the on-rushing monster, With angry snarl and rampant arms the beast fell on the now fleeing man and hugged him ferociously The bear held the man in such a way as to clasp the vice-like jaw on the unhappy Rigakuse. The man erked the arm away, but in the oaming mouth of the beast remain- ed a slice of the arm. The native then side-stepped, dode- ed and stepped away from the bear. Another native, attracted by the noise of battle, émerged from the house and with ready rifle and steady aim sent home the death messenger. Nigakuse was repaired with the crude process of surgery available and lived to sink his teeth into the forearm of the bear and to devour Kis heart, his brains and tenderloin and to sleep in peace on the hide of the brute which had daredsto walk and to fight like a man. MORAL LAWS IN DAWSON. Order In Mining Centres Is Excellent Says Minister. Rev. J. R. Seymour, a well-known Methodist clefgvioan, who has spent about eight vears on various stations in British Columbia, and who for the past two years has been stationed at Dawson as pastor of the Methodist "Church there, said recently in refer- ring to the conditions affecting church work, that after an expefience in var- ious parts of the Province of British Columbia he could say that the mordl conditions in Dawson were quite as good as they were in any place of its size in the province. The dance hall had been wiped out by the council, and the police were exercising quite rigid' oversight, and seeing that the laws wére properly enforeed. Mr. Beymour, from his long experi- ence in the mining towns of British Columbia, is well qualified to judge of these conditions, his announce- ments on moral conditions in Dawson are contrary to the reports that Rev. Dr Pringle has been circulating. Questioned with regard to Dr. Pringle's action, Mr. your said that as tor of a sister church he did not feel that he should attribute mokives to him in his' course. Dr. Pringle, he said, had taken an active part in pressing for moral 'reforms. It was not for him (Mr. ) to find fault with that, as his efforts were similarly directed along" these lines. As fo the methods employed to ac- complish the ends, that was & matter, he said, that rested with the individ- ual worker. Statements had been ly made that Dr. Pringle "hs had not beert properly treated by Liberal party, and_ would take the p ag that paxiy. undoubtedly lessened 3 gle's i with a considerable on of the population, and alienated a number from him and his work. Canada's Century. That the nineteenth century belong- od to the United States and that the twentieth would be Canada's has been the jubilant attitude of the Canadians for ten years and more. Now the per | grain carrying trade of New York is suflerin SNOW | White Star line has withdrawn five of its freighters from the service at this port. Other lines have taken simi- lar action. Two and one-half cents can be saved on each bushel by ship- ping by way of Montreal, and the grain trade will follow the line of least resistance. ; It remains to be seen what action ean be taken to bring this trade back to the United States. The steamship officials want reductions in railway charges to overcome the present ad- tages of Montreal. This presup- io the willingness of the shipping mén to do their share. Yet if the natural advantages are with the Cana- dian port the effort to compete with it by means of artificial stimulation is not likely to be successful in the long run. Has Canada's century begun?--New York Sun. Generous Canadian. Ierd Mount-Stephen has once more shown his great interest in Aberdeen. This time it is in the Royal In- firmary that has given it no less than £96,758 8s. 6d. as a free gift. Note the fivepence. No round sum with Lord Mount-Stephen, apparently. The fivepence, and all the odd money for that matter; was explained by the fact that the sum handed over to the infirmary is the proceeds of certain railway stock, and that is the exact amount the property is worth. He wishes the money spent on the permanent improvement of the infirmary rather than for increas- ing the regular inecbme. The regular income, he thinks, should come from the general public. This is not the ! first big donation Lord Mount-Stephen has given to Abetdéen Royal Infirm- ary. He gave £25,000 in 1901, capital producing £1,000 per year for all time | in 1902, and £10,000 last year. The | directors may be very glad that he | was a patient in the infirmary 62 | | years ago. He has paid for his nurs- ing pretty well. Synod Scores Gambling. The Anglican Synod at Toronto re- cently passed the following resolution: | "Your committee observes with deep- | est concern the great increase of the habit of gambling in many ways in the ity, and especially de- plores the serious prevalence of race | track gambling at the Woodbine, and | irges thé synod to. express in the most emphatic manner the possible conviction that existing . legislation should be extended so as to makeé race track gambling unquestionably illegal, and that the Dominion Govefmmen "The committes also deplores the fact that so many members of the Church of should attend race meetings in to. We regret the extreme worldliness of so many of the members of our We re- gre that the lives of so many are ab- solutely self-centred, and that there is very little of the spirit and practice of self effacement which be the mark of the true mem chureh." ' Excessive and indiscriminate novel reading, week-end excursions, undue time spent in playing games of chance an of Ta leading to spi * "It is sincerely to be re that in many of our families, of eminent respectability, the afternoon should be devoted to such games as bridge, which is played for money, and many of the younger L ilies are introduced into the gambling and betting habit.
