It was long since he had been so far from home in the Old Pasture on Farmer Brown's farm, But th:se were hard days with every- thing buried in snow, hard days, in- deed, and hungry days, One must hunt far and wide to get enough food to keep alives Reddy had known hard times in other winters, but never one so hard as this. Only when he slept did he know what it was to be free from a feeling ot gnawing emptiness in his stomach. Even then he dreamed of things to eat only to waken to the disappoint- ment of finding them unreal, So Teddy had taken to hunting far from home, leaving the familiar home hunting-grounds to Mrs. Red- dy, Sometimes he would be gone for two or three days, curling up in some sheltered spot, his big tail protecting his nose and face, for the sleep he had to have, Hc was thin and lean and tired from over-much travelling, yet never could he get a full meal that would allow him to rest and regain his strength, Now and then he caught a. Mouse, Ouce he caught a half grown Rabbit, and would have carried it home to share with Mrs, Reddy but that the dis- tance was too great. Farm after farm he visited in the hope of catching a {at hen, but it seemed as if all the farmers knew that he was about and were taking special care to keep their hens locked up. Reddy had been hunting all night, with two small Mice his only re- ward. They were little enough to put in an empty stomach, Still, they were better than nothing and Reddy was thankful for even this little as he curled up at daybreak for the re.t he greatly needed. le was tired, for in his half-starved condi. tion he tired more easily than when well ted, It seemed to him that he hardly had closed his eyes when he was awal ned by a sound he knew only too well, the baying of a Hound.

The host of new members--: young in politics even if they are not all young in years--are look- ing for leadership, "That makes the rank and file not less, but more critical," the Observer's writer adds. "They are loyal to the idea that ha. hrought them together--they ar intent on their job, When parliament re- assembles in the spring it will undoubtedly have made up its mind pretty clearly upon the road along which it wants to be led." Hon. L. Hore-Belisha, Liberal Nationalist who is secretary to the Board of Trade, {ig seen as the one young minister who has come fight to the front, "It has been good to watch him at the despatch box, enjoying every moment of his great opportune ity, and casting himself very much more than a mere pale shadow of his accomplished chief, the dent of the Board Trade, Rt, Hon, Walter Runci- man's own star is at the zenith. Whatever part he is destined to play in the fortunes of tha Gov ernment and the nation, his per- sonal reputation stands higher than ever, "Also on the Treasury Bench, R. 8. Hudson, Parllamen! Sec. retary to the Minister of Labor, has shown deftness and courage in a particularly difficult office, He, too, has the advantage of a Chief who in a marked degreo has the ear of the House. Competent first speeches by new members that stay in the memory have been those of Geoffrey Lloyd, who moved the Address delight. fully. Mr. Wedderburn, the young Hereditary Standard Bearer of Scotland, who spoke on a matter concerning his Scottish constitu- ency; Robert Bernay, the young Liberal journalist, who has writ. ten about India and Mahatma Gandhi from first-hand knowl- edge; Dingle Foot, ana Miss Mary Pickford.

House, know this country about here well enough to be sure of fooling a Dog who has done much hunting, and if there are hunters with terrible guns out this morning, I haven't any idea where they are likely to be. Back home 1 know just where to expect them to be lying in wait and it is a simple matter to fool them. And I'm tire', I don't feel like running, Oh, dear, I fear that Dog is on my ail." In a few minutes he knew that his fear was well grounded, There was no doubt that that Dog was on his trail, The scent was cold, but there was enough of it left in Rc !dy"s tracks for the Dog to get an occasional. whiff of it, and each time he did so he would bay. Bay- ing is, you know, the sound made by a Hound when he is following the track of some one, Poor Reddy. It was bad enouch to be tired and hungry. Now to have to run for his life' scemed d adful and his heart sank as he tre' ed off, for it would not do to allow that Dog to get too near. Reddy trotted along easily, for the Dog was coming slowly, having to work out that trail So long as the scent was cold he would have to work slowly, but Reddy knew that once that Dog reached the place Reddy had just left the scent would be fresh, and then that Dog would be able to ftollow at full speed. So Reddy ran casily, saving his strength for the time he knew was surely coming when he would have to use all his speed to. keep ahead of that Dog. It was bad enough to have that Dog following him, but what wor- rier Reddy most was the fear that somewhere hidden behind a tree 'or in + brush was a hunter with a terrible gun. He strongly suspect- ed that that Dog wasn't hunting by himself and he was right. There was : hunter with a terrible gun, one who knew well all that coun- trv round and just where a Fox would be most likely to run. (Copyright, 1932, by T. W. 1 The next story: "Tricks Were Useless. ST. JOHN [INKED WITH OLD ENGLISH PENDERIL PENSION Miss Alice K- Walker Is Descendant of Penderils Who Saved Prince Charlie ress) That Saint John, N.B.~A question rais- ed recently in the British House of Comumons regarding the historic Penderil Pensions might have well been answered here for ina resident of Saint Jobn, Miss Alice K, Walk- er, daughter of the late Doctor Thomas Walker, is found a direct descendant of the original Penderil famil; and a sister of onc of few remaining beneficiaries under the pension, A second and only other connec- tion with the famous pension fund in Eastern Canada is the former re- sidence of Dr. Walker, in Hamp- ton, which was built by his father-- a beneficiary under the Pension-- and named Penderil Place, The house still retains its name and is now the summer residence of a local barrister. The origin of the Penderil Pen- sion funds is steeped in the blood- tingling history of Old England. When Prince Charles Stuart--after- wards CharlesII--at the head of the Scots Royalist troops, was defeated in the Battle of Worcester by Oliv- er Cromwell and his Ironsides, in 1651, he was saved from certain death by six Penderils, Some time later Prince Charles became king. He summoned the Penderils to London and conferred upon them six pensions: two of $500 a year; onc of 0 a year; and three of about $333, a year. The fund is derived from rental of farm land: and is in the hands Husband and Wife both take them when needed Ontario Lady Always Buys "Dodd's Kidney Pills Mrs, Wm. Gordon Speaks Very V¥inthusiastically of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills, Kagawong, Ont., Jan. 6 (Spec- ial)--*"I have used many boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills," writes Mrs. Wm, Gordon, a well known resi- dent, of this place. "Both my husbund and myself take them. We would really not have known what to do for our Kidneys if it were hot for Dodd's Kidney Pills." The 10ad to good health lies through the Kidneys, If they are kept well and strong, all the im- purities are strained out of the blood. If they are weak and out of order the impurities stay in the blood and disease is the sure result, Dodd's Kidney Pills keep the Kidneys in good condition to do their work of cleaning and pur- itying the blood. Dodd's (Kidney Pills demon- strate their worth in the most serious forms of Kidney disease, such as Packache, Rheumatism, Bladder and Urinary Troubles, Insist upon Laving Dodd's, of trustees, When the pension or- iginated it was worth about ten times its present value, with hegard to living expenses and conditions of ycars ago. Tnaday, however, apart frr the nominal value of the pension, it is regarded as a notable honor. Th pension is handed down from father to sons in the descendant family, For this reason, the ~en- sion for the local family is received by Dr. Facis C, Walker, assistant- professor of English Literature in the University of British Columbia-- a sister of Miss Alice Walker, of Saint John. Another brother of the local resident, Dr, Dacre Walker, former newspaperman here, resides in_ eastern United States, It is believed the Walker family is the only descendant of the Pen- derils in Canada and the States, There are believed to be some de- scendants in Australia, The tomb in London of the orig- inal Penderils is still kept in a fine state of repair by the present Royal Family, And thus Saint John and th near-by district of Hampton is link- ed with the story behind the ques- tion raised in the British House of Commons 280 years after six Pend- eril brothers hid Prince Stuart from the vengeance of the Ironsides. DREAM OF YOUNG CHIMNEY SWEEP 1S COMING TRUE Music - loving Colored Youngster Labors to Pay For Lessons Saint John, N.B.--Years ago, as a colored youngster swept chimneys in the West Indies, he dreamed of music. Working with long-handled brushes, ropes and ladders, amid the soot of countless flues, he heard ghostly melodies, so intangible he could not even whistle them. There was a song within him he could not express despite a haunting, insistent urge, As the strange tunes came he saw himself, a ragged urchin, trans- formed to a tall, elegant figure in dress clothes, sometimes with baton in hand, leading a great orchestra, and sometimes seated at a grand piano, thrilled with the measures of masters he loved. Joseph Seale wanted music, His consuming desire was to be a mus- ician, He also craved opportunity. someone told him Canada was a land of opportunity, The colored youth secured work on a boat that brought him to Saint John, . Working in a sugar refinery here, back in 1925, Seale saved $50, He used it as the initial payment on a viano, Then, sacrificing to the point of hunger in order to continue to- ward the star he had set, he began music lessons. Imbued with the restlessness born of ambition, Seale was not long at the sugar refinery, A horse and sloven was the start of a small trucking business. Progress result- ed in a motor truck. Then he start- ed a chimney-sweeping firm, with thr:¢c or four men working under him. Throughout all this, his music remained. Joseph Seale lives a paradox. By day he'sweeps chimneys. In the ev- ening the rapture and drama of Handel, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Liszt flow from his cheap piano as the quiet handsome negro plays by the hour in his humble home. Sometimes the melody is his own. But it is a long, rough road to per- fection, and none of his original compositions have been published. "] play them for my teacher and he sees if thev're all right. and corrects them for me," Seale explained. "They're aren't good enough-=yet." With the kindly interest of his teacher, Scale has passed with high honors the junior, intermediate and senior McGill examinations in the theory and practice of music. NUEBEC TECHNICAL SCHOOLS CROWDED Provincial Secretary Places Before Legislature In- creased Estimate Ouebec--Demands for technical education in the province of Quebec are growing to such an extent, fol- lowing the propaganda the Govern- ment has conducted in favour of such instruction, that pupils in some +f the institutions are pressed for space and were times better buildings, would have to be enlarg- ed Hon, Athanase David, Provin- cal Secretary, told the Legislative Assembly recently, In estimates for the minister's department an additional $130,000 had to be voted to take care of this eagerness for technical education. It was with particular pleasure that he placed the increased esti- mate before the House, Hon Mr. David said, because of the intense effort the Government had made du.ing th: past few years to attract Quebecers to technical education so that they could fill the higher posts in industrial life and relieve the province of the necessity of going outside for her talent in that realm. In Montreal, in other cities and in ruil districts, said the minister, the demand was the same and revealed a trend of thought among the youn~ar clement of this province Fratitying to himself and to the ead of the Quebec government, The demand for instruction in French in Protestant schools in the English-speaking centres of the province had grown enormously, the Provincial Secretary declared, and thus the increase in the vote from $10,000 to $15,000.

The Royal Soclety was founded in 1882 largely through the efforts of Lord Lorne, tien governor- reneral of Canada and afterward the Duke of Argyll. There were 79 charter members of whom only two survive at this writing, Dr. J. Watson, of Kingston, Ont., form- erly of Queen's University, and Ramsay Wright, formerly of Uni- versity of Toronto and now resi- dent in Bournemouth, England, It is expected that representa- tives of some of the great national selentifie and literary societies of Great Britain, France and the United States will attend the May meeting, as well as delegates from many of the principal Can- adian societies. His Excellercy the Governor-General, who is Patron of the society, has graci- ously expressed his intention of being present. It has also heen announced that the Government has decided to have the formal opening of the new National Re- search Laboratories on May 27, during the anniversary meeting of the Royal Society, and has in- vited the society to hold its ses- sions in the Research building. Features of Celebration One of the features of the so- clety's celebration will be a ser- feg of special addresses in which survevs will he made of the prog- ress of Canada in various branches of literature and science during the past fifty years, The president of the society, Sir Robert Falcon- er, the retiring head of the Uni- versity of Toronto, will! devote his presidential address to a sur- vey of the progress of the soclety as {llustrating the progress of the Dominion, and around this cen- tral theme will he grouped sur- veys by some of the most brilliant of Canadian scientists of what has been achieved in each of their respective fields, Similar addresses will be prepared by members of the French and English sections. It has already been arranged that in Section Two history will be dealt with by Prof. Chester Mar- tin, head of the History Depart- ment of the University of Toron- to; Economies by Dr. O. D. Skel- ton, Under Secretary of State for External Affairs; Archaeology hy Diamond Jenness, head of the Anthropological Division of the National Museum; Literature hy Dr. Lorne Pierce, Editor of the Ryerson Press; and Statistics by R. H, Coats, Dominion Statisti- cian. All these addresses will be published together with an intro- duction by the honorary secretary of the soclety, Mr, L. Lawrence J. Burpee, in a memorial volume, Charter Members It is interesting to recall the names of some of the outstanding charter members who attended that organization meeting in Ot- tawa fifty years ago, The first president of the society was Sir J. . Dawson, at that time head of McGill University, and one of the world's greatest geologists. The vice-president was Hon. Pierre J. 0. Chauveau, who had been the first Premier of Quebec after Confederation and was also a man of ripe scholarship, Sir James LeMoine, historian and archaeologist, was president of Section One, and Faucher de St. Maurice, one of the most brilliant French-Canadian writers of the eriod, was vice-president. Sir anfel Wilson, at that time presi- dent of the University of Toronto, was president, of Section Two, and Goldwin Smith was vice. president. T. Sterry Hunt, who had been professor of Chemistry at Laval University and after- wards at McGill, was president of Section Three; and A. R, C, Sel- wyn, for many years director otf the Geological Survey of Canada, was vice-president. Sir John Bou- rinot wag honorary secretary of the society, and Sir James Grant, honorary treasurer. All these knighthoods were conferred sub- sequent to 1882, ous Members Among other famous Canadians who were among the first Fellows of the Royal Society were Abbe (afterwards Cardinal) Begin: MH. R. Casgrain, one of tke historians of French Canada; Louis Fre- chette and Pamphile LeMay, re- membered because of their pog- try; Benjamin Sulte, - historian, Cyprien Tanguay, who compiled the geneaological dictionary of French Canada; Principal Grant, of Queen's University; William Kirby, author of "The Golden Dog'; Maurice Bucke, the philo- sopher of London, Ont.; Alpheus Todd, then librarian of Parlia- ment, and a recognized authority on parliamentary law; John Reade, poet and ecrayist and for many years literary editor of the Montreal Gazette; Col. George T. Denjson, military historian and police magistrate of Toronto; Sir Sandford Fleming, who built the Intercolonial Railway, .sprveyed the Canadian Pacific, and brought about the Pacific Cable; Charles Carpmael, for many years head of the Meteorological Service of Canada;. Robert Bell, explorer and surveyor in Northern Cana- da; and Sir William Osler, one of the most famous of Canadian physicians. Since its organization tse Roy- al Society has counted among its Fellows most Canadians of the first rank in literature and sci- ence, and its membership has grown to something like three times the original number, Cana- dian politicians, whether they are too busy with public affairs or for whatever reason, do not as a rule qualify for Fellowship in the Royal Society, differing in that respect from men in public life in Great Britain. However, the Royal Society has in the past counted several Canadian states- men among its members. Rt, Hon, W. L. Mackenzie King, Liberal leader and former Prime Minister, is a Fellow of Section Two; Sena- tor Rodolphe Lemieux and Sena- tor Thomas Chapais of Section One, and Rt. Hon. R. B.Bennett, Prime Minister of Canada, is an Honorary Fellow. It is remembered, particularly in this fiftieth year of the Socie- ty's history, that it has been largely instrumental -in bringing about such important Canadian institutions as the National Mu- seum, the National Gallery, the Geodetic Survey, the National Re search Council, the Public Ar- chives, the Experimental Farms, the Geographic Board, the Biolo- gical Survey, and has repeatedly urged the establishment of a Na- tional Library, COURT ACTION IN SCOTLAND OVFR MONTREAL LANDS Descendants of John Munn Seek Half Million Dol- lar Property _ Montreal.--Court action now tak- ing place in Scotland involving a claim for return of property said to be existing in Montreal and amounting to a half million dollars will likely turn out to be a "Case of Mistaken Identity" and also one of "pr erty long since disapnear- ed," according to descendants of the original owner of the estate, now "ving in Montreal. In the Court of Sessions at Glas- gow twelve women, among whom are several Canadians, all elaiming to be descendants of the late John Munn, who came to Montreal in the early 1800's opening a shipbuild~ ing firm, are secking recovery of property, The cvidence seeks to show the property is a. site on which a bank s situated but acocrding to descene dants who arc living in Montreal the plaintiffs in the Old Country case v mistaken the property fo- the one 'hich the relations of the I= ¢ Urban Tessier, dit Lavigne, are claiming. It consists of an ene orm~us amount of property in Montreal's downtown and financial districts, John Munn was of Mont« real's first shipbuilders., His pros pertics also covered holdings in var« jous parts of Scotland and these are also included in the court case, Upse on his death in Montreal hig nephew, also a John Munn, was ap pointed administrator of the estate; the shiptuilder's son being of min. or age. Gross mismanagement of the estate followed according to the records, and every piece of valu prc rty disappeared in a very short time, bankruptcy finally wind« ing up the estate, Investigations have been carried nm in the city in order to discover where the property is situated but careful scrutiny of the records im the Bureau de Cadestra fails to re« veal any property under the name of John Munn that has existed in the city during the past half cens tur rohn Munn's shipbuilding activa ities in this country brought him considerable wealth, He built the first ship to sail down the St. Law= rence river, named after the ownen and being launched at the St. Chage les shipbuilding yards.
