"Another 'Canadian has gone afield, but this time it is in the service of Canada, Cecil Hobson, of Toronto, azed 14, left on Mon- day for Washington, D.C., whera he will serve as page at the Cana- dian Embassy, Hon. Vincent Massey and Mrs. Massey both saw Cecil before he left and quite ap- prove of him as a memher of their household. "Cecil is an orphan, sturdy type of hoy. He has been brought up from babyhood as a ward eof the Children's Aid Seo- ciety, and would be a eredit to the best of parents, Several years ago he was placed in a home in the country, where he was hoard- ed and cared for and sent to the rural school. But he was not heppy, He was not in his right sphere. so the Children's Aid So- ciety brought him back to Tor- onto, and placed him in another home. He atonece showed great promise, and has done remarkably well at school, 'He was delivhted with the prospect of his new surroundings in the gracious household uf Can- ada's repreeentative in the United States.

Wyiing to WILD DUCKS SWEPT OVER FALLS BEFORE TURBULENT WATER _ Niagara Falls, N.Y., Dec. 9--Ri# ing the high waters of the upper Ne gara River during yesterday's storm hundreds of wild ducks were swept over the brinks of the American and Horseshoe Falls and carried into the lower stream by the tumbling water, have es death in the fall of 160 feet. pel Dense spray irom the cataracts combined with tlic heavy snowfall prevented persons on the shore from watching he course of the ducks, but from the Canadian side cameo reports of many of them appearing "long the bank, and being picked up, some dead, others with broken wings, and a few uninjured, but spent and ex- hausted.
