Lady Barrister THINGS WORTH WHILE

London, Jan 27—A woman, in
the person of Miss Joan Clarkson,
who was one of the first practicing
women barristers in London, has con-
quered another field heretofore limi-
ted to men She has been admitted
to the freedom of the city of Lon -1
don.
Thus, as the late Countess 14Markie-
vicz, was the first elected woman
member of parliament, Miss Clarkson
is the first city freeman.
An interesting question has arisen
as to whether she aspires to become
a member of the city corporation. No
woman has yet been elected a mens-
ber of the Guildhall council.
Elephant tusks are now being sold
In London at $10,000 a ton, whole-

This change of jurisdiction has
long been advocated not only lay
many prominent crown officials

other hand, it is argued by propon-

will greatly improve general law en-

highways officer cannot arrest for
criminal offenses, and even, if he
could, he is not trained for that line

SANDY BEND
IIS PERIL
By M. QUALi
Copyright 191 ,y nI'•e'Inre News -
When the constable at ,fudge 11oke's
court had cried "Hear ye!" three times
the judge arose and said
"Men of Sandy Bend, 1f 1 speak in
a broken voice and my chin quivers
when 1 talk it is because 1 am feelin'
such eminent emotions as 1 have not
felt in twenty years before.
"Why this emotion? Why do I stand
hero with the tears ready to fan at
any minute?
• I will tell you what is the matter,
though you know as well as 1 do. We
have been tightin' civilization for thir-
ty years, and at last we are licked.
Yes, my friends, I hate to say the
word, but we are licked.
"What was that which awoke Sandy
Bend from its happy sleep at daylight
the other mornin'? What was that
noise that jumped us out of our blan-
kets and caused us to look at each
other as if we had wakened in another
land?
"'Toot! Toot! Toot!'
"Yes, great hevvings, it was the tont
of a locomotive ea the new railroad,
only eve miles away, which is to run
into Sandy Bend next week. Think
of it—a railroad into Sandy Bend!
That's one of the pints we have been
ticked on. It has wanted to come here
for the last fifteen years, but our guns
have kept it away.
"Yes, my tears fall and my chin
%rabbles as I talk of civilization corr-
in' to this happy community. We have
hung horse thieves, about one a week,
;or years past. About once a week
also some man has been shot for bold. -
in' five aces at poker.
"My tears fall afresh as 1 realize
Sandy Bend has been a little paradise
on earth. And now it is to be crushed.
wrecked, ruined forever as the eight
kind of a town to live in. Why. the
Chinymen will make their skiddoo. and
the dogs will run away from ill Since
that toot of the locomotive the other
mornin' there has been a man here
to see about a street car line. A street
car line for Sandy Bend to take the
place of the cayuse!
"And along comes a man who says
Sandy Bend orter have waterworks.
Is it any wonder that three or tour
men fainted away on hearin' of it?
"dud along comes another man and
says we are to have gas works.
"hasn't Sandy Bend got along with
tallow candles and kerosene torches
all this time, and has anybody kicked
about It?
"Here is a most beautiful and happy
spot. There are mountains all around,
In the mountains grows the grizzly
Bear, and the wild Indian hunts for the
white man's scalp. The sun ever shines
there. There are no spring floods. The
winter don't freeze a man to death.
The birds twitter, the jack rabbits play
about like lambkins, and there is jest
shootin' enough to keep the blood bl
good circulation.
"And all this is to be wrecked and
ruined and brunt., low: Mint i'or?
That the thing called civilization may
move from east to west and gobble
up everything in its path.

The town of Revelstoke nestling
among the Selkirk Mountains in
the broad valley of the Columbia
river, in British Columbia, is noted
for two things: its National Park,
situated on top of Mount Revel-
stoke, and its world famous ski
jump where world reeords have been
made and up to the present date not
surpassed.
The Revelstoke Winter Carnival
extends from February 6-10 in-
clusive. During this celebration the
fourteenth annual ski-jumping tour-
nament takes placeon February
/anuses7-8. The /anuses hill, where the
jumps are made, has a total length
of 1 730 feet, with a runway of 600
feet, The distance from the take off
to the farthest point at which aside
lauding is assured, is 280 feet, or
40 feet beyond the present world
, acord.
IINE.S
NELSON IN P' IGAir
Nels Nelson, a brakeman on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, estab-
lished his world record jump of
240 feet in 1926, The woman's
record jump of 84 feet was also
made on the Revelstoke ski hill in
1922 by Isobel Coursier, a record
which still stands.
Little children in this mountain
town who can do little more than
walk begin to ski as soon as there is
sufficient snow and they are broug
up to think no more of skiing than
the average child thinks of walking.
The children have their own hill
little jumps from which they gradu-
ate one by one,
Revelstoke has an unusually large
skating rink for the size of the town
and there are f our curling rinks. The
dates for the Banff Winter Carnival
are from February 4-11, making it
possible for sport enthusiasts to

Another trusted servant is the

enough presents are taken along to
enable the Kiug to make gifts to
everybody before leaving. No one
must be forgotten.
From the - station -master to the
scullery -maid at the abbey, or where -
ever the King is staying, there is an
appropriate gift Inc everyone. A stat -
tion -master generally gets a scarf -
pin in enamel, with the letters
"G.V." engraved on it. If the Queen
accompanies his Majesty, the legend
on the pin is slightly different, In
this case it is "G. M."

au -order is given. The Superinten-
dent of the Wardrobe, who is really

placing these orders,
Other gifts are made as follows.
The butler gets an enamel pin, and
the chauffeur a silver watch, with
"G. V," on the back. The under -
servants get money, notes being giv-
en to the housekeeper, who shares
them out, The head keeper gets a
pin.
Then, stable -hands generally get
pipes; and sometimes the head chauf-
feur 'gets the medal of the M.V.O.
