Hot-Tempered Woman Evidently Not Altogether Bad. IX: * . o Surely: No High-Priced Lawyer Could Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea of Husband Which Won "Her Her Liberty. 3 There was a negro family Hving in 'Bowling 'Green; Ky. . The wite had ® notoriously ungovernable temper, bsually taking it out ou ber husband, who was meek and lowly. On this oe easion she struck him with a skillet, inflicting a wound so painful and dan- geroMs as fo necessitate his huving to be taken to the hospitaf for treat ment. The neighbors, knowing the violent temper of the wife, and the gruel treatment she had inflicted upon her husband for such a long time, were so outraged they could endure ft no longer, and procured a warrant for her arrest on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. ; The husband sat through the trial, giving rapt attention to its every de tail. © The case was handed over to the jury and after very hrief delibera- tion it brought in a verdict .of guilty. The old darkey husband rose and sald: "Marse Jedge, I don't reckon noth Ing a ole nigger could say would make much diffunce, but I would fak to say f word before you send the 'old 'oman to the penitenshy. She's always been a good mother to the chillun, all the neighbors will tell you that. + She washes and scrubs afid sews and mends for 'em, and keeps 'em clean and nice, an when they's sick she sits up with 'em at night... And, Marse Jedge, I jest want to ax you if you won't let her go by the house and see the chillun befo' you send her to the penitenshy, They's at home all alone right now, cryin' they po little hearts out-and it would do 'em good, and the ole 'oman, too, if she could just go and kiss em good-by befo' she was put in the penitenshy." By this time the judge and the spee- tators were In tears and the judge Said: "Gentlemen of the jury, 1 haven't passed seutence yet and if you want a few minutes to further consider this case, I will be glad to grant it." The jury retired and in a few minutes returned with a verdict of "not guilty." Sailor Values Charm. The king and queen recently. re ceived at Windsor castle the Austra- lian, New Zealand and South African press delegates now on a visit to Great Britain. His majesty spoke warmly of the gallantry of the Domintons troops, and exchanged recollections of his empire tour of 1901. When Mr. Pirani of New Zealand mentioned the name of Maggie Papakura, the Maori goide who conducted the king round the hot springs wonderland of Rotorua, the king sécalled her at once, and was fn- terested to learn that she Is now in England. The New Zealand delegates. found that Princess Mary knew all' 'about 'the pre-war Maori prophecy 'con- cerning the battle-cruiser New Zen: land--that she would go Into action within a given number of years 'and "|'would Be hit but escape serious dam. age if her captain wore a Maori tiki '| (greenstone charm).

Yilhjalmur Stefansson Explains the 3 Reason, One of the eurions errors about the north that are prevalent among those few who have\any ideas, about the north at all, writes Vilhjelmur Stefansson in Harper's\ Magazine 1s that cold is the chief egemy we have to fight beyond the 'Arctic Ciréle. 1 am sure that all: thoge who have traveled extensively on the moving polar ice would agree with me that the cold is our best'friend. For that reason February is a bettér month than Mareh for sledge travel, and January would as' good as Feb ruary were it not for the facet that it is then too dark for safe working among broken ice, where' waterholes are an danger everywhere. In April, when the temperature, seldom goes lower than 30 degrees below zero for a night, it a gale breaks up the ice, as often happens, forming open leads that crisscross each other in all di- rections, it takes several days for the frost to cement the broken places and to form ice over the lanes, which are impassable moats while they re- main unfrozen, but which become smooth boulevards when covered by 8ix inches of young ice, In February, when the temperature is seldom above--30 degrees and tly goes down to --50 degrees, the sa lanes would freeze over in a®night, saving 'muny.a tedious delay. It was therefore heart-breaking to lose by the delays in outfitting, as it proved, the whole month of March, for, although we were ready to start on the 22nd, a gale which had just swept the country had brok- en up all the ice to eastward, and seven miles from land we were stop- ped by impassable open water, We had then an extraordinary spell of warm weather, about twa months ahead of its time, when for a week or 10 days the temperature seldom dropped to zero and occasionally went as high as 28 degrees above. With regular March temperature ~30 degrees, the gale would have delayed us only two or three days. shite Aircraft for Surveys. Among the peace time possibilities of aircraft are forest fire patrol and aerial photography. It is now expected that fire patrols by flying boats will be established during the current year by the British Columbia Forest Branch and by one or more of the forest protective associations of Quebee; assisted by the Quebec Gov- ernment, The St. Maurice Forest Protective Association is the leader In this respect in the east, as the British Columbia Forest Branch has proved in the west. It i8 believed that there are large possibilities also in connection with aerial fire patrol on Dominion lands in the west, through the Dominion Forestry and Parks Branches, Many men, whose experience in aviation overseas should qualify them to express thor- oughly practical opinions, state that, beyond question, these things are eminently feasible, --Similarly, there is undoubtedly a large field for developments along the line of 'actnal photography, both in conjunction with forest protection and independently. The recent ad- dress of Col. Cull before the Geodetic 4 wed some of the possibilities of sireraft in fur- thering the line of work with which the Geodetic Survey is partially con- cerned. The possibilities fn connection with forestry work are also very great. There are vast areas of rela- tively inaccessible lands in all the provinces, where only. fragmentary data are available as to d 'and topography, or as to the extent, com- position and volume of the forests. e importance of our forests in the na- tional econtmy' is now recognized as never: before: An adeguate knowl- edge of the. character, location and Wi forests of Canada is es- 8 to the proper administration and exploitation of this vital re- source. ko 3 The Comthission of Conservation made a survey of the forest resources of British Columbia and Saskatche- the. data available as to extensive areas were of the most fragmentary character. Similar work in other provinces is planned, as rapidly as the necessary funds are secured. The prosecution of such projects would be enormously sim- plified, and the results would be much more accurate and valuable, it necessary work on the ground could be supplemented by systematis sur- veys made by means of, aerial photo- graphy. Such surveys might of course serve other public purposes | aswell: 2 suggests thé extreme desirability of co-operation bétween all' agencies interested, Dominion and Provincial, as well as private.-- Conservation. ~~ - Not a Swimmer 5 The orderly officer was on his usual round.

For more than eight centuries it has been trained to grow in a most remark- able shape, lower branches éextend- ing along the ground, then curving up In such a way as to suggest the shape of a boat; while the tree it- self rises from the centre, recalling the position of the mast."

Wery few people escape from hav- Ing wen at some time, All the poulticing and landing you may do won't cure them and gtop more coming. \ _ Boils are caused by bad blood bursting out, and the bad blood must be made pure before the boils will disappear. 2 Burdock Blood Bitters is the great- est blood puritier known. It cleanes the system, and purifies the blood by removing every particle of foul ma- terial from the system, and when this is done, never another boil' comes and health and strength are perma- nently restored. Mr. C. 'H. Bridges, 470 Barton St. E., Hamilton, Ont), writes: --*1 was troubled with boils 'for about six months and tried several remedies without any relief until I tried Bur- dock Blgod Bitters, and the affect has been wonderful. After ustiig two ttles, I was rid of them all. "I feel ter, and I sleep better than I have for years. 1 can highly recommend B. B. B. to all who are troubled as I was." . A ?
