CARIBOU WERE THICK é Migrating caribou along the Yukon river near the American-Canadian border were so thick during the first week of October that the United States Government steamboat Gen. Jeff Davis had difficulty in navigat- ing among the animals swimming in the river. Thousands swarmed the shotes and waters. Members of the crew said they lasooed a dozen and hauled them aboard for fresh meat. HANGED IN LONDON FOR BURN- ING COAL, -- In the reign of Edward I. the in- habitants of London petitioned the King against the growing use of coal, declaring that it was "a public nui- Sance, corrupting the air with i stink and smoke, to the great detri- ment of their health.' Whereupon the King prohibited its use, offenders to be punished for a first offense by a fine, and for a second to have their} kilns and furnaces destroyed. The practice of using coal was at length made a capital offense, and a man was tried, condemned and hanged for burning coal in London. In those days the population of England probably did not exceed 4,000,000 or 5,000,- 000, and wood was plentiful and cheap from the vast forests that cov- ered tens of thousands of square miles where n@w are great towns. BUFFALO HERDS ARE THRIVING IN PARKS The current report of the Commis- _}sioner of Dminion Parks contains in- formation regarding the national buf- falo herds in Buffalo and Elk Island parks. It is not very widely known that the Commissioner of Dominion Parks has under his care nearly three thous- and buffalo, that live under natural conditions, with the same habits of feeding and the same liberty of range, within certain limitations, en- joyed by the herds on the prairies in the early days. These animals are healthy and in splendid condition. Their handsome appearance and the fact that the normal increase is tak- ing place afford excellent proof that they are in their natural surround- ings. During the year 1917 there was an increase of 356 buffalo in Buffalo park, and 28 calves were born in Elk Island park. The report states that the young stock are splen- did. types and are thriving. HOW MONEY MAKES MONEY The Orillia Packet says: '"Postmas- ter Thompson had an interesting ex- perience a few days ago, when a far- mer living near Jarrett, called with a savings-bank book which his father, who had died three or four years ago had left and desired to draw the am- ount to his credit. Examination dis- closed the fact that the year of the Franco-Prussian war, away back in 1870, the father made a deposit of $50 which for the intervening forty- eight years had lain at Ottawa un- disturbed, so far as the depositor was 4 as concerned. The book was sent to Ottawa and a computation of the in- terest showed something over $237 to the credit of the depositor. This after certain necessary formalities had been complied with, was paid over. The experience is a good il- lustration of how money makes mon- ey even at the low interest tate. * GROWTH OF SPRUCE It takes about forty years for seedlirig spruce trees to attain a dia- meter of one inch, 100 years to make a 6-inch tree, and 150 years to reach the minimum diameter limit of 12 inches established by the cutting re- gulations for pulpwood in Quebec for white and black spruce, according to the ninth report of the Commission of Conservation.

He wrote a letter to his brother, who had elected to stick by , the farm, telling of the joys of city life, in which he said: "Thursday we autoed out to the country club, where we golfed until dark. Then we trol- leyed back to town and danced until dawn. Then we motored to the beach and Fridayed there." The brother on the farm wrote back: "Yesterday we buggied to town and baseballed all afternoon. Then we went to Ned's and pokered till morn- ing. . To-day we muled out to the cornfield and geehawed till sundown. Then we suppered and then we piped for a while. After that we staircased up to our room and bedsteaded until the clock fived." te & & The Point. A member of Parliament was ambi- tious to distinguish himself by his oratory, and watched for a favorable opportunity. 'A motion was propos- ed in the House for enforcing the execution of an ancient statute, whereupon the would-be orator rose and, after solemnly gazing around in silence for a, moment, said: "Mr. Speaker, have we laws, or have we not laws? If we have not laws, and they are not observed, to what end are these laws made?"' So saying he sat down, his chest inflated with con- scious consequence. Instantly another member rose and said: '""Mr. Speaker, did the honorable gentlemen who last spoke speak to the purpose, or did he not speak to the purpose? If he did not speak to the purpose, to what purpose did he speak?" bt & & & He Knew a Lady. The cabby was brought before the magistrate for using violent language to a lady. "But she ain't no lidy,'"' he protest- ed fiercely. "Indeed!" quoth his worship. 'And do you know a lady when you see one?" "Of course I do!' indignantly an- swered the man. "Why, only the other day I saw one! she gave me a parned note for a shillen' fare and walked awya. "I mum,' I alls, 'what abart yer change?' 'Don't bea blinkin' old fool! ses she; 'keep it, and git drunk enough to kiss yer mother-in-law." "Now, yer worship," he ended, tri- umphantly, "that's what I calls a real lidy." *¢é¢ ¢ Helping Matilda A.certain selfish man came home }the other evening with an enormous bundle. "Matila," he said, '"'you know those wonderful 40-cent shirts and 15-cent neckties that you bought me, so that I could put more money into the war loan?" ids ht "Well," the man went on, "I step- ped into the same shop to-day and bought something for you. It's a beautiful red and green checked dress material, and I got you eighty yards at 6 cents a yard. The clerk said it would make enough dresses to see you through the war." eb & & Well "Proveesioned."' Sandy and Donald were going on a fishing expedition. Sandy said to Donald: "Gang get the proveesions." When Donald returned. Sandy ask- ed what he had got. 'Twelve bottle of whusky and half a loaf bread,' said Donald. Sandy looked at him sadly and said: 'An' what are ye gaen o do wi' all that bread, mon?" MAIL BOXES DAMAGED (Mildmay Gazette.) Last Friday night a couple of mis- creants from a neighboring town, in search of adventure, amused themsel- ves by damaging the rural mail boxes along the Elora road between Mild- may and Clifford. Some of the boxes were completely twisted off, while others were less damaged. It is quite evident that the guilty parties were under the influence of liquor, as they were heard shouting and cursing all along the road. They arrived at Mild may about three o'clock in the morn- ing, and after serenading the town, started on their homeward journey. The matter has been reported to the post office department, and it is ex- pected that prosecution will follow soon. These young fellows will pro- bably find that tampering with mail boxes is a very serious business. GIRL BRIDE AS A SIX YEAR HERMIT An unprecendented story of neg- lect was unfolded at Detroit last week in the divorce suit of Mrs Grace Maynard. She had married William Maynard,at Banff in 1908. Soon afterwards Maynard took his fourteenlyear-old bride to a home- stead he had secured, forty-five miles from the nearest neighbor, where he left her with instructions that she must not leave the place or they would lose it. She did so utterly alone in the wilderness for six long years, except for occasional visits from her husband. Her only cloth- ing was of skins and sacking, and during the exile she bore three child- ren, without a soul to help her. Her position was ultimately discovered by accident, while she was still maintain- -- - OUR CLUBBING LIST.
