Sharp Dealieg In Alberta.
A good story Is being told In Leth-
bridge of how the shrewdness of a
Canadian buyer was well matched In
a business transaction by the cuteness
of a united States Reller who had tak-
en lip sheep -ranching, says The Canada
Gazette. The ('nnadla.n h >ught a herd
of 2,400 sheep, het they were to be
driven from Raymond to Lethbridge, a
distance of 1)3 miles, before being
weighed. This was so obviously an
attempt to r'deep their weight that
the sharp "Ysnkre" resolved not to lose
on the deal if he could help it Ae-
eordingly, he hired a man to draw a
quantity of beet pulp from the sugar
factory at Raymond and Lethbridge.
When the sheep °were being driven
along they ate the pulp and drank wat-
ee. with the result that they gained

artbed # President Roosevelt.
These southern coyotes or prairie
wolves are only about one-third the
Size of the big gray timber wolves of
the northern Rockies. They are too
small to Weddle with full grown horses
and cattle, but pick up young calves
and kill sheep as well as auy small do-
mesticated aulmal that they can get at.
The big wolves tlee from the neigh-
borhood of anythlug like close settle-
ments, but coyotes hang around tbo
neighbosjtood of man much more per-
sistently. They show a foxlike cun-
ning lu oatchtng rabbits, prairie dogs,
gophers and the like. After nightfall
they are noisy, and their melancholy
walling and yelling are familiar sounds
to all who puss over the plains. The
young are bi'Jugbt forth in holes in cut
banks or similar to. elutes.
Within my own experience I have
known of the finding of but twu fam-
ilies. In nue Were was but a sitigle
family of tive cubs and one old aulmal,
undoubtedly the mother; in the other
case there were ten or eleven cubs and
two old females which had apparently
shared the burrow or cave,tttough liv-
ing In separate pockets. In neither
case was any full grown mule coyote
found in the neighborhood. As regards
these particular litters, the father
seemingly had nothing to do with tuk-
Iug care of or supporting the family.
I am not able to say whether this was
accidental or whether It is a rule that
only the mother lives with and takes
care of the litter. 1 have heard con-
trary statements about the matter from
bunters who should know. Unfortu-
nately I have learned from long experi-
ence that It is only exceptional taunters
who can be trusted to give accurate
descriptions of the habits of any beast
save such as are connected with its
chase.
Coyotes are sharp, wary, knowing
creatures, and on most occasions take
care to keep out of harm's way.—From

odore Roosevelt, lu Scribner's Maga-

PICTURESQUE RITES.
Gorgeous Reception Accorded by the
Native Ladies In Bombay—Show-
ers of Pearls and Flowers.
A Bombay despatch of Nov. 1'2tlt,
says: The Princess of Wales attended
a ceremony of oriental splendor yes•
terday. It was gorgeous and magnifi-
cent even for India,
The ceremony was "purdah" — that
is, it was exclusively confined to wo-
men. Th • I • tiling ladies of the three
great Indian religious communities --
Parsee, Hindu, and Mahometan as-
sernhl •,1 in the Town Hall to welcome
I .tor the princess;' according to
tu,•,! .ancient rites.
The hall was bewildering 111 its
splendor. Rich carpets of cloth of gold
stretched from the entrance to the ,
throne Hundreds of candles flickered
to sockets of beaten gold. The walls
and the pillars were hung with price-
less fabrics lent by rajahs and nawabs.
Native ladies and young girls wore
their richest costumes, and their jew-
els might have come from Aladdin's
cave. It is very.rarely that so dazzling
an array is seen at one time, even in
the ,ppulent East,
Young girls sang songs of welcome
and scattered the carpet with flowers
as the princess entered. She wore a
flowered muslin gown. Her toque was
trimmed with wreaths of roses, and
diamonds and amethysts sparkled at
her neck.
Symbols of Plenty.
There were three distinct ceremonies
—the Parsee "vadhavllevant," the Hin-
du "aril," and the Mahometan
"umeen." The Parsee came first, An
egg and a cocoanut were passed seven
times round the head of the princess,
and were then hrnk,•n on the floor, sig-
nifying that If evil should befall the
princess in any of the seven circles of
the word it may be destroyed and
turned to good. The egg and the Co-
coanut symbolize the three elementary
n•ceeslties of life-- food, drink and shel-
ter e
Water was passed seven times ,round
the prfneess' head, and poured' on the

"We are assembled In spirit with all
true Scotsmen throughout and beyond
the Empire this night," said Prof, Kil-
patrlr'k to the toast "The Day and All
\Whn Honor It." ',,The schlevetn•nts of

thoughts. in all fields of activity the
name of Scotland is writ large The
Sootsrnen are noted empire -builders. All
over this Canada are trams of their

have oontinued aeross the water their
ideals of home life, and have presenter)
to the Empire an iden.l of purity, of

They have also contributed an Ideal of

Empire would do 111 without. A vigor
of mind, steadfastness of purpose, ten-
acity of .resolution, a d.•votIon to

mutable traits of the Scotch character
"Another element which f ,rmed the
Ideal nt every Scot's aspirations was
righteousness. Foremost among his
political ideate was the demand for
freedom, the sacred right of resistance
against oppression and political l„Asps.
It was not an idle demand to have one's
own way, but a consciousness that
freedom was euhserved by order. The
Seot's was that public spirit which es-
poused true caustes and disdained to
pay hirelings to fight his battles. He
votes his own vote and plays his own
part.
"The Scot realized, furthermore, that
patriotism was above party or class.
Nothing waa worth living for but the
unity of the nation It was the busi-
ness of every Scot to -day to cultivate
a just national pride, and to realise
that he could serve Canada beet by
maintaining his national distinctive-

translatlou ot one of these signs leads
to funny results.
"The deed shocked the natiod 'to the
heart core" was what was said, and
the typewriter evolved "The dead
shocked the notion to the hard car."
"The rumor was but transient, thougtl,"
was hardly recognizable as "The ram -
mer was trains end through." 1. rear '
end collision was evidently in that
girl's mind.
"As manna fed the Jews," was In-
geniously tortured by another young
woman into "As mamma fed the jays."'
Yet she was a Sunday school teacher.
"Plays, creeps and laughs the inno-
cent," crooned the man one day, mouth-
ing thebpening lines of some projected
baby verses. When the typewriter tap-;
ped out "Plays craps and leaves the in-
nocent" he scanned her visage closely.
He said, "The voice of Dr. Jocelyn
was heard calling for assistance." and
it came out "The vice of Dr. Josh Lane
was hard killing four assistants."
When "But she held Jake too dearly
for that and so passed on" was dic-
tated and it came out "But she held
Jacks, two, drawing for that, and so
passed one," would it have been un-
just to credit the girl at the machiaa ,,
with an elementary knowledge of gam-
bling?
Occasionally a new beast or bird is
discovered by the typewriter, thus,
"The sea quail was," etc., the intention
being '"The sequel was," etc. This was
in line with a blunder made by the
same girl, who had avowed that "a
gull sunk the schooner" instead of "a
gale." On another occasion she de-
clared that a pair of lovers "hatched
up a pretty squirrel" instead of their
having "patched up a petty quarrel."
Having confessed that once upon a
time she had been a waitress in a pop-
ular restaurant, the reason is clear
why "Foist the males of the dynasty"
was clicked out, "First, the meals of
the diunersty." This sounds like a
"made up," but it is fearful fact.
"The president was heard with ac-
claim," dictated the man. "The present
was hard with a clam" was what the
typewriter insisted that he had said as

Navigator Says He Owes That Much
to Canada.
Capt. Bernier addressed the members
of the Montreal Canadian Club recent-
ly on the subject of the discovery of
the North Pole. The captain is firmly
convinced that the North Pole belongs
to Canada. Although to -day people
sailed in fine vessels, he said, these ves-
sels were not altogether perfect. Until
we had studied the question of mag-
netic disturbances around the North
Pole we could not make ships that were
perfect. ' We must know the magnetic
disturbances of the compass and be-
fore we know their cause we must
know the whole earth.
Referring to the question of route.
Capt. Bernier said that since 1887
the idea was to reach the pole by the
Eastern route, and until four or live
years ago men and ships had to be
adapted to that route. But, holds the
captain, if the North Pole is to be
reached, It must be by natural cur-
rents.
urrents. and during the intervals of be-
ing
o-ing held fast, careful observation must
be made. The result of all expeditions
has been that when a ship reaches the
stage of being frozen in she has to
oome back. Now it is hoped to adopt
a new route, and ships must for that
purpose have some qualities at the ex-
pense of others, There Is little sea
room but lots of ice on the route.
Advocating the Western route,
Capt. Bernier pointed out that the
Polar basin hail a higher level than the
Atlantic. Everything In the Arctic
basin conies into the Atlantic, which
1s a proof tail the poh shonl,l he at•
tempted from the west. The rotation
of the earth In that vicinity creates
un easterly current. Rind currents,
