"The Wolf' is a romantic drama of the Hudson Bay fur country in three acts and three scenes by Eugene Walter. Mr. Walter is an author who strikes hard, and he is said to handle the story with a directness that is courageous but yet does not offend. The story concerns the vengeance wreaked upon an American civil engineer, who years before the story opens, has deserted a half-breed girl of the far north, the girl, Anette, dies in a storm, but in Montreal there lives a half brother who has promised his dying father to search for the lost girl. He discovers that McDonald is the man he seeks, and that he is temt ing Hilda, the daughter of a Scotch trader, whom he (Jules IVaubien) loves. Heppner Farmers' Union Warehouse Co.

There exist in British social life certain individuals known ns "mar riage brokers." They move in the holiest ranks and gain, often un known to their friends, enormous commissions for making a desired "match" possible. In some cases, 6ays London Tit Bits, a match is niado as an ordinary business ar rangement that is to say, each party to the contract, the prospec tive bride and bridegroom, are aware how ttieir meeting has been brought about, and each is prepared to pay a handsome commission for the introduction; but these cases are few and far between. What causes the business of the society marriage broker to be great ly looked down on is the fact that most usually society matrimonial agents work in secret. They are received at the best houses, and their hostesses, all unsuspectingly, are made catspaws to obtain intro ductions. Needless to say in a case I like this there is always one viC' tim, for either the man or the gir is drawn into the match unsuspect ingly, little thinking that the per son who brought about the intro duction inn y derive a lifelong in come as the result. Sums of 20, 000 and more have been known to change hands as commission in this way. Very often the society marriage broker sets his bait by an adver tisemcnt in one of the most ex elusive society papers. Advertise- ments of this kind are usually shrewdly disguised, taking the form in most cases of tempting offers of employment for impecunious gen tleinen of high birth. In this way an interview is arranged, and in the most artful manner possible the proposal is put forward to provide the applicant with a wealthy bride in return for a heavy commission when the wedding is duly solemniz ed. In manycases the impecunious gentleman falls in with the scheme. Should he not do so, however, a promise of strict secrecy is usually extorted, and the marriage broker pets about attracting some more wil ling fish to his net. Too often the society marriage broker is a member of the fair sex. In this case few manage to escape from her schem- It'snotthe mechanical perfection of auy one part of thes Ford it's the perfection of all its parts working in perfect harmony that makes it the car of univer sal and unprecedented demand.

Then He Went to Sleep. Mrs. Popkins was constantly re minding her husband that she. own ed the silver, that she owned the furniture, and the piano was her own private property, and so on un til poor Popkins began to wonder what she'd claim next. The other night Mrs. P. woke in alarm. Strange sounds were heard in the lower parts of the house, and quickly rousing her husband she cried : "John! John! Get up! There are burglars in the house!" "Eh?" inquired Mr. Popkins, rub bing his eyes. "Burglars downstairs!" repeated Mrs. P. "Burglars?" said Popkins, as he turned over. "Well, you do the worrying. I don't own anything." A True Friend. An elderly man in a large city died in extremely poor circum stances. A prominent business man, well known for his mercenary char acter, attended the funeral and wat visibly affected as he looked for the last time on his old friend and as sociate. "You thought a great deal of the old gentleman ?" he was asked after the services were over. "Thought a great deal of him?" echoed the merchant. "Well, 1 should say 1 did. There was a true friend, lie never asked me to lend him a cent, though 1 knew that he was practical lv starving to death." Harper's Magazine. Great Indian Acrobats. The traveling acrobats who wan der from village to village in India are often surprisingly clever. In a remarkably short time they will erect their primitive apparatus, con sisting of a few bamboo poles and ropes and will then go through a most wonderful performance, the daring and skill of which would greatly astonisli people used to western acrobatic feats. Tim poles and ropes are fixed up in f. m0st haphazard fashion, and the per formers risk their lives over and over again, well salUfled if, at the end, the audience rewards them with a few annas.

London hat? out tO n'-Tetl a f'T an ' . d and BEAUTIFUL, BUT DEADLY. The Buthmatter la the Moat Venomous Snaka In the World. "About the latest thing among Bnake novelties is the bushmaster, writes the London correspondent of the Chicago News. "This snake, ac cording to lsaron K. Leiionhufvud F. Z. S., F. 11. O. S., is one of tho rarest and shiest in the world. It is at homo in tropical South Amer ica and occurs in Irinidad. It has tho greatest venom of any of the large poisonous vipers, and as much as Joy milligrams have been extract ed at one time from the bushmaster. The dreaded rattlesnake, including tno large diamond, does not give more than half the quantity of ven om. Attaining sometimes a length of twelve feet, the bushmaster is the largest of all the poisonous snakes of the world. The pattern is beautiful: pinkish yellow ground color, with rhomboid regular ae- signs of darkish brown, having a tinge of purple and terra cotta. In each darker pattern is a brighter center, spot. Its Latin name means 'the silent rattlesnake.' It was giv en this name by Linnaeus on ac count of its tail, which is tapering and horny, made of the same ma terial as that of the rattlesnake, but without the segments and con sequently silent. "Charles. Waterton, the famous naturalist, who made three journeys to South America, describes the bushmaster in his notes of the first journey in 1813 as follows: 'Un rivaled in his display of every lovely color of the rainbow and unmatch ed in the effects of his deadly poi son, the "Counacouchi" glides un daunted on, sole monarch of the forests. Both man and beast fly be fore him and allow him to pursue an undisputed path. He sometimes grows to the length of fourteen feet. The bushmaster's head is en tirely heart shaped, and when rous ed the serpent does not get into the position of the other vipers, but keeps the head slightly raised with S shaped vertical bends of the body. In striking it lets out these bends like a spr,ing and can in this way reach very far. Its food is the com mon rat, the rabbit and the agouti. "In Central America the bush master is called by the Indians the pineapple snake because its scales are round and similar to the outside of a pineapple. This exceedingly delicate snake, which is killed by the slightest change of climate, is not nearly so aggressive as its small er cousin, the fer de lance, and does not affect materially the mor tality on sugar, bananas or coffee plantations. Motion of the Sun. Owing to the revolution of the earth the 6un seems to make its dailv circuit around us. which of course is not the case. But the sun is revolving about its center quite as truly as the earth is. It was one of the conceptions of that most re markable man, Sir John Ilerschel, that the whole solar system had a motion in space and was advancing toward a point in the heavens near the star Hercules. Sir John's con ception as bold an idea as ever en tered the human mind is now gen erally accepted by astronomers, and the opinion is quite universal among them that the entire system is trac ing our a curvilinear path in space, a course around some mighty cen ter, probably at Hercules. Putting It In Plain English. Miss Jennings was hearing the grammar antl motoric class. ne wrote a sentence on the board and called upon Abncr to rise. "1 nomas can ride the horse if he wants to," she read, pointing to the board. "Now, Abncr, rewrite the sentence in another form." Abncr surveyed it somewhat du biously for a moment; then inspira tion came to him, and, stepping to the board, he wrote: "Thomas can ride the horse if the hore wants him to." New York Post.
