A RESURRECTION
There are few of us who in aur
younger days at least have not heard
of the four -and -twenty blackbirds
which were baked in a pie and which
upon the pie being 'opened hem to
sing lustily, but few of us have given
the .matter much consideration. How-
ever, something just about as strange
occurred in West Nissouri the past
week according to Mr. Fred Fairhall,
who gets his mail on It. R. 3, Thorn-
dale. Mr. Fairhall, with two neigh-
bors it seems was paying a visit to
a bush lot in his neighborhood the
other day and as they walked Fred
happened to notice an unusual object
frozen into a small sheet of ice which
covered a small pond. Upon closer
scrutiny the object was found to be
a small garter snake which to all in-
tents and purposes had been refrig-
erated, However, us opinions among
the trio varied it was decided to
'break the ice and release the reptile
which to the astonishment ;gf the
finder after a few.minutes exposure
to the sun, began to wriggle and
finally sunnnvoned enough energy to
crawl away into a nearby clump of
grass. Cate are not the only living
creatures 'apparently which enjoy
several lives.—St, Marys Journal -

Return to Caribou Hunting in Western
Quebec Welcomed
Montreal, March 7 -After a. closed
season of five years, caribou hunting
in the counties of Matane, Gaspe and
Bonaventure in the province of Que-
bec will again be permitted this
year, according to official informa-
tion'reaching C. IC, Howard, Mana-
ger of the Tourist and. Convention
Bureau, Canadian National Railways.
Caribou have increased rapidly dur-
ing the dosed season en Gaspe
Peninsula' and adjoining sections of
Quebec and this increase has result-
ed in the decision to permit hunting
this year 'between September 20
and December 31st. The principal
points of entry to the caribou hunt-
ing areas are Gaspe, Casaapedia and
New Carlisle, The return
of caribou hunting in Quebec
is being hailed with considerable en-
thusiasm. Ontario has prohibited
the 'hunting of these animals for
some years past. In Manitoba and
Saskatchewan, caribou hunting is
permitted but 'the season in those
provinces is very late. Alberta and
British Columbia permit caribou
hunting and excellent territories for
the mountain caribou are found on
the borders of Jasper National Park
in the heart of the Canadian Rookies
and also at other locations in the
Northern Rockies and in the Moun-
tains of British Columbia.
Clinton Chautauqua
Elwood T. Bailey is intensely hu-
man. Re is a business man and a
twentieth century philosopher. The
title of his leistuee, which will be
given Thursday evening, March 24th,
in the town ball, is "MI Aboard,"
and will prove an inspiration to all.
It is difficult to describe a lecture
by Bailey, his delivery is exceedingly
fluent; he has a charm of personal-
ity which is more than attractive..
IIe believes in the individual and in
the nation. His lecture will be alto-
gether inetructive, with flashes of
the humorous and the dramatic. All
of us are vitally interested in thel
questions he discusses. As an orator
he is without peer on the Chautauqua
platform.
Hugo Brandt
This distinguished Polish pianist
and composer will also appear on
the third night March 24th, with a
programme of just the right balance
and variety of piano selections to
arouse some sympathetic vibration
from every type ca. audience.
Hugo Brandt has a 'finished tech-
nique, but—most important of all is
his intelligent rendering"of the com-
positions he presents, reaching the
hearts' of his audiences by the depth
of his interpretaticin. There is at-
mosphere, not mere piano paying,
when this creative artist touches the
keys.
14Lr. Brandt will include in his Pro-
gramme some of his own composi-
tions, which have been rendered both
in Europe and North America.
