One day, when I was a little boy about six years old,‘ my father left home. About four weeks after we were agreeably surprised to see ham enter the room while we were at am- ner. He gave me a basket and told me there was something in it for me. I opened it and was delighted to see a. little pup roll over and jump .out. When everybody hail seen an! admired him, came the delightful task pf christening him, at least if it .wasn't pleasant. for the dog, it was rare fun for me. It Was so hard‘ {though to find a. name i wanted. that at last I- said he could go without one, though I was quite disapr‘oint- ed at not being able to christcn him. qt last big brother Bill said, ‘Can’t you call him after someone whom you like ? ‘Bill’ is all right for a dog.” I thought this a good idea, but Bill in?!

Suddenly a flock of partridge-arose in the air in front of him with a whirring sound which was immediately followed by the bang oi Ben's rifle. No sooner had the report died away than a louder crashing was heard behind and Ben looking in that direction was just in time to see a large grizzly charging forward. Ben was so greatly taken be surprise, that his only thought was; to run. He started to run down the slope, but stumbled and fell and at lass. dropped his gun and put fort-hi; all his efforts in running. The bear came on,at a lumbering pace. but, Ben managed to dodge around some tron-s and roqks and at length scmmble onto a big boulder eleven or twelve feet high. The grizzly, now mad with rage, was just behind Ben when he scrambled onto the boulder, and with one SWipc of his monstrous “AV-Hair bsmmm n.7, y’hdrwzmhgout veryhuflLbut he had not seen any.

It says reports come that in Eastern Canada Dr. Pringle “is edifying the natives with the most harrowing tal-cs of hard- ships and privations endured in his very laudable effort to spread the gospel among the benighted heathen of the Yukon territory,” The doc- tor is represented as “occupying the centre of the stage with the caiciums all thrown in his direction” at the Presbyterian Assembly at St. John, N.
