He now lives in Kings- ville, near Windsor, When he was quite young, he used to go out with his brother and shoot birds. He was CAN You CHANGE THIS FISH INTO A NEWSBOY ? p ) gets sharper-the mare it is. used. Thet. a crack shot, and unlucky was the individual who crossed Jack Miner's path. Wherever he went shooting he, left a bloody trail behind. One day he was hiding behind some. bushes waiting for any of the air fowl. At last two geese came along and espied him, which instant- himself, "Wouldn't it be greater if 1 made friends of the birds instead of enemies?" After that he has been a great lover of birds. He has a farm of 200 acres| Wheu he got go that he loved birds he made two ponds in one of his fields. Every year geese and ducks came by thou- sands to his place. No guns are al- lowed on his premises; therefore, his bird friends are safe from all harm. He sald the geese come in there in the sprifig in greater numbers than in any other time of the year. The reason .is they come there before they tly = north for the summer. Ducks, he said, come in autumn mostly. There is.a story that one year a gander with its family, in- cluding mate and goslings, flew on the ground near his door. He threw them an ear of corn. As he threw it the birds flew up in the air, and as nothing happened flew down again. He repeatedly threw them corn until at last the gander knew he could: be trusted. He then trapped the gander, and while his wife shut the door he put a clamp or tag on its leg. On the tag was Jack Mmer's name and address with a request to return the tag, for which one dollar would" be paid. In this way he could tell if such a bird had been there before, and whether it had been killed. He let the gander go (he called it Sir John Moore), who soon came back with its young and mate. A year later four tags came to him, one of which belonged to Sir John Moore. When he comes to Kingston I hope to hear him speak.~--Herbert Hamilton, senior III. School News, The inspection will soon be here and the cadets will soon have their uniforms. Some of the Rifle Club are dis- appointed because they have been . waiting quite a while for the pins they have won. ' The company sent our principal a letter saying they were out of stock. There is not as much shooting now, because of the baseball games. We expect to win the baseball shield this year. (Contributed) As Pat was going through a field a bull chased him. When he was in the next field he saw a calf. He picked up a stick and going toward it said, "I'm going to kill you for what your father did to me."--H.H. Riddle.

I love the ice and snow, though it's terribly cold sometimes. They're always welcome." "See! I knew it, sister mine!" cried North Wind proudly. "He likes me." ' "Not the best," laughed Bobby. "I love you all for the good you bring to the world. Now, grandma tells me that we would miss East Wind terribly it she failed to visit us, for she brings the cooling showers that soften up the ground after old Win- ter has crept back to his bed. And West Wind, I love you because you make the fruit trees grow so we can have pears, peaches and nice juicy apples. And dear little South Wind, I love her because she brings us the beautiful flowers. So you see, friends, there's no cause for quarrel. We love you all, and couldn't do with- out any of you." > "I knew it," laughed the tiniest fairy.
