An order in Council made a special grant {of land in the west 2 to Trooper Munoy, the blind vet- eran of the South African war. A very unexpected and sad death occurred in our midst the 27th of January. Mass Agnes Mcâ€" Gauchie, aged 26 years, 9months, passed peacefully away. Although she had been ailing for the past year. still it was thought nothing serious. On Tuesday night she went to her bed, feeling rather better, and about 11 o’clock that evening she awoke her father, who was sleeping in a room just below hers, by making apeculiar sound. Mary called her father, and in a second he was by her bedside and raised her, but she was then stiff, and never spoke from that time until she died on Wednesday afternoon. The ‘docâ€" to'r thou ht that it was a para- lytic stro e thlt caused her death. Agnes will be much missed in the home circle, and also in the church, for when she was in good health she was as plendid church helper, both in her willingness to do her share, and also ‘in financial affairs. There is :no position, how- ever high, can take the place of a humble life led for God. Much sympathy is felt for her mother and father,.and also the family. who are all at home.

He has lived so much with the Indians that he talks like them in short, jerky, low-voiced sentences, often without bothering to use the articles, auxil- liary verbs, and other unessential parts of speech. This is not because he does not know how, for he has a wider knowledge and education than many a man who has spent all his life within reach of schools, libraries, and newspapers. It’s because he thinks by short-cuts, and talks the same way. To the bush wise, much talk is foolishness, and a. grunt ex- presses a whole lot to those with understanding. and IOI‘CT‘ 11111: the 11111:) :1111111111’s: ruajiis broken nmflantaneoushr. 3 ”My trap is 1"ahbit-p1oof. ” saidi Mr. 21113311111011. ‘30 1a'ubit is going; into a place i" ke that to eat fish and meat.

He has seen ani- mal suffering enough in that time, God knows. At any rate he has thought out a humane trap. The idea is a combination of the "old-fashioned snare noose and a strong steel spring. A little box is used instead of the little Indian ho tse of driven stakes: In the box is a hole about the size ot a mink’s bod}, and the bait is hung on a hook inside the box, at the back.

For centuries men in the pursuit of fur have considered it quite legiti- mate to snare, or dead fall, or spring trap, irrespective of the fiendish cruelty involved. Animals are caught without compunction or protest in any convenient manner, so long as the method employed does not injure the fur. The common spring trap catches the animal by the leg and b‘reaks it. Then the little animal must bear the pain for days until the trapper returns, or must die slowly of pain and cold. Mr. McMullen has been trapping and prospecting in the farNorthwest all his life, that is since at the age of fifteen he joined forces with his father in the Rocky Hountains of 3.0. He came down into the James Bay country a few years ago, and finding that there were few white men in the region of Patricia, he settled down there for a while, with two or three pals of his. Allen Mc- Mullen has done what nobody else in all the years that trapping has been a feature of industry in this country has had the heart or the brains to do. He has invented a hu- mane trap, a trap that catches the little furry animal and kills it inâ€" stantly. It has been endorsed by the Humane Society. 1 Mr. Allen McMullen, some time of the Peace, Athabasca, and Mackenzie Ri-ver country, originally of British Columbia, and, during the gold ex- citement an qptive Klondyker.

She only know that when she saw the strikingly handsome features of a gentleman the answer came to her “I have kept my part of the contract. It only remains for you to keep yours. What is this artiole that I may not take by force?” “My heart.” At that moment there was a sound of horses' lmofs coming, and the high- wuyman rode away with the words: "So be for it.” “I will give you, sir." she said. “the only valuable article I have. which you cannot take from me by force, pro. vided you will give me a glimpse of your features." “Pray what may that be?" “1 shall not tell you.".
