How the Little Man Persuaded the Morse and Beat the Driver. Harses fat and horses thin, horses that locked miserably sickly and horses "that seemed apparently heal. thy, liorses that broke a leg and hofles that slipping on the icy pavement were rendered worthless to their own- ers, to the tune of 149 were shot and vention of Cruelty Montreal last year. In these daws of automobiles, when gasoline is the motive power of fifty r cent. of the transportation faecili- es of the street when animals are looked upon as being a necessary evil, when the snow is off the streets and the asphalt is bared of the slippery coat of snow that has covered it all wintér, the sound of the lashing whip striking the flanks of inoffensive ani- mals ix all too often beard. Organized some forty-three years ago and ever since that time having provided eflective means for the pre- vention of cruelty to animals, not only in the City of Montreal but all through the Province of Quebec, the to Animals in Animals, has banished from the street corners and from the lonely routes the disgusting spectacle of dumb animals whipped Lo the blood for re- fusing to draw loads far too heavy for the emaciated condition to whieh ill treatment and lack of focd had reduc- ed them Ribs that stood out prominent up- on the flanks of the 'beasts, while others sported a glossy coat of fat, were noticeable upon the horses that the society put out of misery. Instruments of torture, whips which would have relegated the cat-o-nine- tails into the background, were con- fiscated from cruel drivers and form a collection of weapons in the offices of the CRP.CA. About three months ago, at the corner of Bleury and 8t. Catherine street, a very thin horse pulling a very rusty wagon, which bore no li- cense number and which was not adorned by any name of company was stalled and the whip of the driver, a foreigner who seemed absolutely ignorant of the capacity of the beast Plied often and hard upon the ribs of iis animal. A crowd had gathered and the man swearing gracefully in a language known to himself alone, finally brought the blood to the flanks of the dilapidated animal. Despite strain- ing every nerve the horse could not budge the load away from the cross. ing. All the while, the whip was plied furiously. A mild looking indiv. dual trotted out of the crowd, tap- ped the horse gently over the "nape" and presented him with 'a lump of sugar. The animal devoured it, while the driver stood dumbfounded at the audacity of the little man who would interfere with his right of beating his horse. : Another lump of sugar was held about three feet from the animal's mouth if the hand of his benefactor and what the whip had failed to ae- complish the sight of the sugar did and the horse dragged the heavy load away, grabbed the lump of sugar from the hand of the 8.P.C.A. man and kept right on down Bleury street. "1 thank you," beamed the driver, who weighed some 200 pounds upon the man in the street, who could not boast of more than 130 "Come off your seat,'"' was the reply. "1 wish to speak to you." Bmiling benignly the man descended and was told in terse words to get ready for a fight, As a straight right landed on the man's jaw the "sugar man" was heard to déliver himself of the following oration: "Any man who will beat a horse the way you beat yours, is a coward and will not fight. You are no good." Another punch landed squarely and the man went down. "1 will have you arrested," wailed the brutal Colossus to the little man. The man who a few minutes previous. ly had cruelly beaten a defenceless horse cowered before another who could not cope with him in size, weight and strength. A Double Loss. Out in the Township of Zorra, Ont, not far from Embro, live two Beots of the true type, now fast disappearing. Bachelors past middle age, canny and close grained, they for many years chummed together, argued and dis- puted, and fully enjoyed life until an unfortunate incident severed their re- lations and left them both miserable. Sandy Mathieson and Donald Gunn were their names and their last trip together was to Stratford, where they put in a big day and started home with a generous allowance of Heather Dew under each belt. On the way an argument arose which became so heat. ed that Donald declined to sit any longer with Sandy, who was driving. He got back into the long sleigh, putled out the tailboard, and putting it across the box, glowered at San- dy's back in solitary state. Sandy, of course, would not deign to look behind, and thereby failed to notice that a severe jolt, coupled probably with a slight unsteadiness on Don. out inte the snow. Neither would' Donald demean himsell to dgaw at- tention to his mishap, so that Sandy in due time arrived home alone. "Say, Sandy, you've lost your fail board," said a neighbor, as he turned into his gate. "Yass," said Sandy, as he turned and for the first time realized that he was alone. "Yass, an' I loss Tonal Gunn." A Canadian Cheese. london; the largest cheese in. the world is now being exbibited in a large store at Balham.

The fascination of hunting must he very great when it will lure men out onto the Niagara River in the winter te an almest certain death trap. Ib seems that the duck hunting is espe- cially good but especi.lly dangerous about a mile above the falls. Every winter adventurous duck busters put out in small boats snd dodge the ice cakes while they hunt their favorite game. As a rule. however, most of the hunters perch themselves upon | a ledge of ice and hunt from it. They take a terrible risk even by this method, for the ice jam that is con- stantly moving down stream. is at anv time liable to disledge the hunt. er's perch and down he goes a victim to the merciless cataract. Not many years ago iwo men were observed in' a duck boat trying des- perately to row out of a rupning ice jam which had carried them down the Canadian channel from far up the river. Their terrified efforts were closely followed by a man with a spy glass, who had discovered them from the windows of one of the large shore factories on the American side. The unfortunate men had already drifted too near the first roaring cataract to admit of any possible rescue, so the watcher could only helplessly wait for their pitiful death. In describing the incident after. ward, he said: "God, what could I do to help them--what could any man do? The Almighty alone seemed to hold them in His power. One man seemed to be wrenching his shoulders from their sockets with the oars; the other stood in the stern, desperately plying a pike pole. An oar broke, and was replaced by a third. The man did- n't lose a second in its replacement. Then, in a mighty stroke, the other oar went, and he fell sprawling back in the boat. He stood up, pulled the good oar from its pin, and began pad- dling insanely from the side. "They made little progress. 'Slowly the great field of ice swept them down, down toward those snarling, angry cataracts below. I writhed in agony before the hopeless vision. In- to the rapids swept the fore part of the ice jam. Then the first great wave seemed to rise up and hover hungrily over the little boat. Both men saw it and rushed toward each other. Locked in each other's arms they dis. appeared into the curling swell That was the last 1 saw of them." Niagara also plays the death trap to hunted as well as hunters. Hun. dreds of wild fow] are swept each year over the falls: During densely foggy nights strange ducks often stop to roost in the upper waters of the river Drifting unconsciously toward the brink, they are suddenly hurled down into the abyss of plunging water. Too terrified to take wing and quickly en- gulfed by the spray, they plunge into the gorge, and are either killed out right. or stunned, to receive wounds that keep them helplessly in the waters below for days and weeks. After the formation of the ice bridge many of these unfortunate birds are washed up on the ice, where they are quickly gathered up by the little group of souvenir sellers and saloon men who erect shacks on the path across the river. These men string lines of such ducks in front of their ram- shackle stores and over the bars of their saloons. It proves both an at. tractive advertisement and adds slightly to their source of income, as they dispose of the ducks whenever possible. Dance 24 Hours Without Food. The adoption dance is one of the ceremonial dances of the Shawnees. This is quite different from any one of the festive dances. They come many miles around and camp; their faces are painted and their bodies de- corated wath~beads. They dance all day and night with- out eating. A bonfire is built in the centre of the camp and they dance around this. The fire is kept burn. ing about the same all the time. This serves also as their light The adoption dance is rather quiet, more so than the other dances. The women do most of the singing and sing very low. They dance around the circle in twos. The men dance together in front, and the women to- gether in the rear. The two leaders in front are us. ually the ones who are adepting the child. They carry tin pails; in these are rubber balls, which bounce and keep time with the drummer. This is all the music they have to dance by. If a large crowd is "assembled they may bave two or three drums At these dances good order is kept No drunkenness is allowed. The dance is in a grove, and if any one does not behave decently they tie him to a tree for the rest of the dance After the dance they have a great feast which lasts all day, and visitors, and all others who attend the dance, are invited to partake of the feast.-- Taronto Globe. Shot Five Bears. There is a good bear story told by General Agent Lee of the Temiskam- ing and Northern Ontario Railway, a man who knows every inch of the North Country and can supply every- thing from a good fishing spot to an Indian guide. He and a tenderfoot doctor were out bear shooting. After a while, they todk separat: routes and in a few minutes Lee heard six shots in rapid succession. Running to find the doctor, he was discovered leaning exhausted against a tree and a big black bear laying dead on a hillock along a narrow path. Behind the ani. mal were four good-sized cubs, also dead, and, making his escape, was father bear. The doctor had shot five out of six, but, in the excifement of his maiden shooting expedition, thought he had shot only one, for as fast as they came up the hillock the medico blased away with eyes half shut.
