Ha Didn't Know Where to Find a Mose, But He Warned Them Net to Make a Slaughter -- Turned Them Over to Pat Murphy and Patrick Did the Rest--Five Moose Just Off the Railway Track! Bir William Vaan 'Horne, of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, once told Mr. J. R. Barrett how he furnished Jubisn Ralph and the late Frederick Remington a complete moose hunt, which was duly described anil de- picted in Harper's Magazine, a few years ago. True the moose were there, were shot, and photographed, but how they happened to be thére is another story. Mr. Barrett quotes Bir William as follows in The Bellman, (Minnea- polis) . I was sitting in my office one day when two eards were brought in bear. ing the names of Julian Ralph and Frederick Remington. I knew the names and told my secretary to show the gentlemen in. They came, and presented a letter from Harper's Mag- azine, "from which it a that they had been sent, the one to write and the other to illustrate a Cana- dian moose bunt. The editor of Har- per's Magazine asked me to show them any courtesies which 'would as- sist them in their objeet. Now 1 hadn't a notion whether there was a single bles. meoese. along the whole line c! the Canadian Paci- fic, but 1 wasn't going to say so tw two men from New. York, Bo "1 understand, gentlemen," 1 said, "that you have come here to shoot moose." They said that was the, case. "Well, now," 1 continued, "I sup- pose that I' can take it for granted that you are gentlemen and have the proper &porting instinet. If I turn You Jone. you arenot going tw go aughtering our x and filling the Rang with Blood HE ia No, no, no; they wouldn't think of such & thing. » "You don't propose for decimate-gur herds of these noble animals?' "Why certainly not." "l presume that one geod bull moose apiece would satisfy you?" And their eyes glisteded as they said that indeed it would. "On that understand- ing," 1 eaid, "I'H give you a letter to our agent as Mattawa." The reason why I chose him was botause if there was a moose #0 be found in Canada Pat Murphy was the man to md it when told to. If there wasn't a moose in the comutry, I. knew he could take a joke. So I wrote: Dear Murphy.--This will to you Frederick. Remington, the well-known artist, and Julian Ralph, the equally wellknown writer, who have come in the interest of Harper's Magazine to. deseribe and illusteate a gous hunt. They have promised not to kill too many of the noble animals, but will be content with gett X good bull moose apiece. I trust 10 you to see that they get them.

Then he sent out runners. He sent them to every point of the compass to start the Indians beating the woods to- wardd Mattawa. I '¢ know how many Indians and he got to work, but they beat for all that was in them.

By the evening of tho saxth day, men came in and told Murphy that they bad five moose, two bulls and three cows, safely cornered ten miles off in the woods. So Murphy announced that his hunters had come back, and would be ready to go out next day. They went.

They Knew Their Bible But Not' Their Court Etiquette. Recently two little girls from Len- don came down to spend the day at Windsor Castle with the little Batten- bergs, Queen Victoria's grand chil- dren. and it so happened that Her Majesty paid a vigit to the nursery and found them there. 2 . ng visitors were taken a back; they not ex to see the Queen; and had not been instruct ed how to conduct themselves in the presencé of royalty; but they had been well brought up and knew their Hibles, and they thought at once of Daniel before King Darius. They de- cided that what Daniel had done must be correct, so the pair threw themselves on their faces on the floor at her astonished Majesty's feet, and eried out with a loud voice: b *"Oh, Queen; live forever!" However, this proved an excellent introduction, and presently the Queen and they became great friends. She. took one of them on her knee, and all three chatted together in the friend- liest way. 3 rian "And whereabout in Londen do you young people live?" asked the Queen, Oh, ssid the little girl on her knee, "we live just opposite W's," --naming one of the new mammoth stores that had just been opened in London. "But please won't you tell us where you live when you go to London?" said her little friend. The Queen looked thoughtful for a moment, and then remembered that in Buckingham Palace road there is also a. mommoth store. "Oh," said she, smiling, "when in London I live opposite Gerringe's." On an Ostrich Farm, A writer In a recent number' of the Boy's Own Paper gives an interesting account of a visit he paid to a Bouth Autralian ostrich farm at Port Au- gusta. The ostriches, he says, were chiefiy batched in incubators. The eggs take 45 to 50 days. The chicks are first fed on bread .crumbs, bran, and water. On the fourth day a little enclosure is made round the incuba- tor, and the young are allowed to take exercise. They are then fed on grain, reen vegetables, and water. The dangerous age is from birth to three months, after which time they gener- ally live, When the ostrich is sevén months old the first crop of feathers is ripe. At 12 months A begins "to develop black feathers, and his plum. age reaches perfection at the end of three years. The hen ostrich lays from 12 to 20 eggs, but if these are re- moved she will continue laying like a domestic fowl. One bird has been lL known to produce 120 eggs antmally. Both parents share the duties of in- cubation. The hen covers the nest during the day, and the cock through- out the night. The chicks are releas- ed by the old bird pressing upon the shell with its hard breast. Ostriches are hot expensive to keep, because the greater part of the year they find sufficient food in the paddocks, and at. other times .they only, require a Tittle -Indian corn or béans and some additional green food, cerne or cabbage. -Russia's Greatest Dancer. 80, by gencral consent, Mlle. Anna Pavlova, whose wonderful dancing at the Palace Theatre in London bas aroused such enthusiasm, has been termed. Mlle. Pavlova, in her in- fancy, decided to become a dancer. She was taken by her mother to see a ballet. The dancers fascinated her, and she exclaimed, enthusiastically, "Oh, mother, that's what I want to do. 1 want Yo be a dancer, too. I must dance. I'll! pever do anything else when I grow up." And before she was ten entered the Imperial School of Dancing in Bt. Petersburg, and studied under M.

His Majesty was the proud possessor of a baker's dozen of motor. cars, most of which represent the last word in the automobile world. i The King was immune from the tyranny of the number-plate, and his cars were therefore innocent of the symbolism which appeals so strongly. to the executive of the police-trap. A detailed description of all the King's cars was issued to the police throughout the Kingdom Sogethef with instructions that "all facihities"| were to be given for their progress on the road. But this concern at headquarters wax not sufficient to prevent mistakes, More than once the yoyal cars were held up owing to the finterference of some officious con | stable, who was disappointed in his search for a pumber, and 8 con- siderable' amount of time and breath has been wasted before he has been convineed that 'the King can do no wrong." ¢ Unlike his brother, the Duke of Connaught, the King was remarkably TT. a Nerious aéeident. He had break- dowys in legion--no motorist is free from Mhese little unpreventable incon: veffiences -= but he always proved, himself equal to the emergency by availing himself of the first baundy vehicle and so avoiding becoming an object of interest to all and sundry. A short while ago his car came to a sudden stop in Richmond Park. In a moment a vast erowd appeared, ap- parently from nowhere; and. enjoyed instructing his chauffeur in the true inwardness of the breakdown, show- ing him the best method of remedying the fault, and exhibiting in a number of ways his intimate knowledge of motor-car mechanism. He owed this knowledge to Mr. Oliver Stanton, who, years ago, taught His Majesty cycling, and more recently made him a thorough waster of the automobile, King Edward's chauffeurs were all picked men, Most of them served in Scotland Yard, and have, at some time or other, driven the qfficial mo- tor-cars of the police. How this idea of the King's was carried out is in- teresting. One day a 'chauffeur in the employ of the Commissioner of Police was told off to perform some gerviee for the King, and the fine physique and bearing of the man at- tracted His---- Majesty's. attention. While this man was in attendance at Buckingham Palace something went wrong with a royal motor-car, which seemed to puzzle the King's own chauffeur, and resist all his attempts at remedy, At last Yard stepped forward, and in a few minutes found a remedy. The King was 50 pleased-that he asked the man to take service with him, and, the permission of the Commissioner being feurs was inaugurated. As it was necessary for policemen to accompany, the King almost ¢verywhere he went,' the men performed dual sérvice. Although the King was extremely + free from accidents, he had foresight i enough to know that he was not in- fallible, so ne had 'a complete first- aid outfit attached to each of his cars. This miniature surgery weighs about six pounds, and includes an India rubber tourniquet to stop bleed. ing, several pairs of scissors and for- ceps, - antiseptic swabs, gauze, band- ages, a variety of unguents and dress- ings, a selection of stimulative drugs; and a bottle of brandy. These con- tents are arranged in the order of their use in the eight different com- partments of a silver box which fits into a royal blue morocco case, ' On the lid of each case are detailed instructions, while on the front of each silver box is the inscription: "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed." ints ne The Names of the Mighty.
