Oct. 14 After the Quit* Informal Introduction to the Colonel Ws Effected the Ta- blet Turned and "Corporal Suds" Got DOM of His Own Medicine. General E. V. Sumner, who was long colonel In command of tbe "Fighting Seventh" cavalry, was known to the rank and file of his regiment as "Old Bull." His gruff manners may buve had something to do with the nick- name, but It came to him fairly by in- heritance. Uis fntber, General Sum- ner, bore It before him. Wben tbe Seventh was stationed at! Fort Grant, Arizona, a very ruw recruit' was sent on from Kansas City. As. nsual, tbe men persecuted him from tbe start He returned meekly from the ordnance stores with the informa- tion that "left banded ramrods" were all gone: without batting an eyelash be' reported tbnt tbe sergeant in charge! of the post exchange swore at him when be applied for his "butter checks." They took his last two bits! away from him in tbe canteen In some hocus pocus game. After supper he was' "blanket tossed'' until the arms of tbe tossers grew weary, and three times that night bis bunk collapsed amid roars of merriment. Tbe recruit then gave up the struggle and lay shivering upon tbe floor until morning. He neither murmured nor com- plained. In fuct, be seemed to be so un- sophisticated tout when be asked his room corpora! where be could have some washing done the corporal, with' a jerk of his thumb. Indicated the com- manding otllcer's bouse on the corner of the parade. "Go over to tbnt big house." tbe corporal directed. "Tak* your bundle with you and ask for Old! Bull. Lie tii!.. ; In all the wasbln' at! this post" Grasping bis little bundle, the green! lad from Kansas City shambled across j tbe parade, mounted the colonel's front stoop and innocently pulled tbe door-j bell. Tbe joke was an old one, as Old Bull bud never been known to answer I tbe bell In person, and more than one; recruit had lenrned the way to "Soap-j suds row" after a tongue lashing from| the commandant's dusky maid of all work. And as she bad threatened to scald the next man wbo bothered her about bis washing the tip was passed along from troop to troop, nnd tbe men warmed out ou the verandas to seel A NORWEGIAN TOWN. Camrose IB a "Mill.- Norway" From Her Names To Her Skis. Camrose, Alberta, Is par excellence the Norwegian metropolis of Canada. Its first name was Bakken, named af- ter a Norwegian wbo first owned l.'.nd upon which the town Is imllt. Mr. Bakken came to Canada from tbe United States to get a farm. He looked around for a long time, be- cause an old fortune-teller bad once told him that he would get a quarler- section of land where a river cnt off one of tbe corners, and where be would find plenty of coal and wood, and that on this quarter a town would be located. After having looked around for a long time, Bakken came out from Wetasklwh and found a quarter which in every respect cover- ed the fortune-teller's description. He settled down 1 ere, and. while his GETTING ONE'S WAGES. How a Canadian May Coerce a Slow Playing Employer. A body of workingmen wbo had worked faithfully on the erection of several duplex houses In Toronto were faced on a recent Saturday night by tbe builder's plea of "no funds," says Tbe Toronto tar Week- ly. Some weeks went by, during which the builder doled out occasion- al five-dollar bills here and there, tbe workingmen's accounts mean- while falling farther behind. Work was so scarce that few could afford to rebel openly. In any event a vig- orous complaint would only mean tbe lost of back pay. Finally, the build- er Invited his employes to consult hie lawyer in a downtown office building which cost them hours of their time. The lawyer boldly offered to settle their accounts with the builder bis land, and when tbe town was sur- veyed he became a very rich man. He Is now dead. To-day Camrose Is the centre for the three railways, and has managed to retain Its Norwegian stamp. Look- Ing over the map of Camrose, one will flnd that the streets Lavo Norwegian names, such as Christlanla a-venue, Bjovorsen street, Ibsen street, Bak- ken street, Paulsen, street, Dahl street, Thomsen street, Christine street, and of subdivisions there are many with Norwegian names, such as BaLken Addition, Dahl Addition. Gula Addition, etc. This is not the only evidence of tin Norwegian influ- ence. In looking over tbe voters' list for last year's election, it Is found that of the 378 votes cast in tbe town of Camrose, 223 were Norwe- gian, and taking all of the Camrose district, it is found that out of 1,400 voters, 973 are Norwegians. When the United Lutheran Churches deter- mine'' to build a college for the edu- cation of young Norwegian boys and girls, Camrose was selected as tbe site, and It now has tbe only Nor- wegian college in tbe entire British Empire. Camrose Is the centre for the ski-Ing devotees In the Canadian west and Is also the headquarters for the prairie competitions. "Home to Norway Association," li v k in* with a view to securing the largest possible number of tourists for the centennial celebration In Nor- way this year. Last winter there were 2,400 gath- ered at tbe ski sports in Camrose, and about 4,000 in Edmonton, and tbe Interest In the sport is ever In- creating. Tbe absence of great hills In our country makes Its necessary to build timber scaffolds for ski runners to get a start, but these scaffolds serve tbe purpose as well as tbe steep hills In Norway. The demand for ('is is so great that It has been ne- cessary to establish a ski factory at i, and we also ha/ve a school the debt in full. A few rebelled at such a plain violation of a worklngman's agreement, but tbe The trap worked to perfec- and lawyer and builder no doubt enjoyed a hearty chuckle at their cleverness. Not alone in Toronto, but every- where in Canada, workingmen hesi- tate to carry an account for wages into a public court, and on that well- known timidity the dishonest build- er trades to his heart's content. The actually has small rea- when be has a just claim and good evidence. Nor need he fear lawyer's fees and other bogles, for unless be expressly engages a lawyer he will receive no bill from anybody, and may obtain the whole amount of bis claim without deductions of any sort. The correct process of any work- ingman regarding himself as wrong- Jed by his employer in the matter of i wages is to visit tbe clerk of a Di- vision Court who will serve a sum- mons on tbe employer, and if tbe ! latter fails to appear at the next sit- ting his admission of the claim ! : taken for granted. Usually he will , dispute it, however, and it will be necessary for tbe workingman to be on hand and give his evidence. If tlit- Judge repders him a favorable verdict, the court clerk Is obliged to collect the debt and turn the money [over to tbe plaintiff without any j further trouble or worry on the lat- ter's part. He merely awaits for two 'weeks or so the processes of a court's machinery. If necessary a bailiff is ' placed In the employer's h"use, 'should he refuse or refrain from pay- ilng. and enough furniture or other property can be auctioned off to meet the amount awarded by tbe ' court. There are some curious clauses in the Canadian law referring to tbe collection of accounts of this kind. Bull For Service Fcr nervice. -lUnin Holly Xn. <4'J.

The crowds upon the verandas melt- ed awny as Colonel Sumner approach- ed, but i Me guilty corporal was found lurUing In the troop barber Khop. Some boated language ensued, nnd then at the end of the painful Interview Old Bull delivered himself thus: "Corpoml, I ought to have you court mnrtlaled. I could have your stripes taken nwuy ntid see (lint you got about thirty days Into the bargain or I could liave you lined. But you've been one of my I.I-M noncoms.

But MII. i- you're such an expert on laundry matter* I order you to do this mini's washing on the front porch of these quarters every Monday morning ut HUM ni mount. "And you, lie bellowed, turning to the recruit and stinking his guuutleU at him, "you see Unit you hnve ot least two .-mis of underclothes and even pairs of ttot-bs for him every week. And If he don't wash 'em clean you report to Old Bull, that's me!" And thereafter for several months, until a band of Tonto bnsln Apnches went ou H rampage and gave them more serious things to think about, tbe men of the Seventh looked forward happily to Monday morning guard mount Tbe noncommissioned limn vmmi became known as "Corporal Sods" nnd WHS teased about tbe affair until tbe day a piece of Spanish shrap- nel cut short bis existence.

The Event Was Fast. Peputy Sheriff Jarvlx of York County, who, despite tbe weight of his 84 years, dally takes his place Just to tbe right of the Judge when tbe Assizes are In session In Toronto, tells an amusing story at bis own ex- pense. "One night," said be, "about two years a~o, I waa sitting all alone In my bouse, poring over that morn- Ing's issue of Tbe Globe. I noticed to my surprise and pleasure that Christy's Minstrels were advertised to appear that night In St. Lawrence Hull. I had often seen them and was delighted to old name had been nothing else to do that even- Ing, I put on my hat and coat, got on a street car, and went downtown. Reaching my destination on King street, I noticed t ha 1 everything about the hall was In darkness not the least sign of a performance. I asked a man standing nearby when the ex- hibition was due to begin. Well, he at me a or his heating apparatus In winter, or his bedclothes or his overcoat. If he is a drayman or a farmer, bis means of livelihood, such as horses, wagons, etc., are outside the bailiff's clutches. However, the average em- ployer Is not limited to one stove, or one set of bedclothes. He may own real estate, which with most recal- citrant paymasters would be heavily mortgaged. So that the unpaid worker has only the option of wait- Ing Indefinitely for his money to come In dribs and drabs, or of Issu- ing a summons In the Division Court, which may take a month to get re- turns, or he may place a Hen on tbe property to which he has given bis services. : MAMS PftMMI COPVNMMTS Ac.

'St. Lawrence Hall has been built over this many a long year. You will never see any more shows here.' "I went home feelliiK quite angry with The Glohe for putting such a mean hoax In tbe paper, and I made up my mind lust to ring up the office when I got back and tell them what I thought of such Jokes," remarked the Sheriff. "However, Just to be sure, I picked up the newspaper when I reached home and took another look at it. Yes, there It was sure enough. The announcement read plainly: 'Christy's Minstrels at St. Lawrence Hall to-night 1 but Just above It my eye caught something It had misted before. That was the heading: 'Fifty Yeara Ago To-day'." This Woman lift Years Old. I The distinction of being the oldest woman In Canada probably goes to Mrs. Chapman, wife of Tbomti Chapman, living In Bastard town | ship. She has Just celebrated berj US birthday, and Is hale and hearty, with good eyesight and good hear- ing. She was born ID Ireland In 1799 and came out to Canada In 1844, taking up residence at her present homestead and remaining there ever since. When she married Thomas Chapman she was 68 year" of age. Her husband is about TO. The couple have no children. Mrs. Chapman boasts of tha faot Khat wben 100 years old she could limb a ladder into hay loft and do many odd chores around hr farm. The Carcajou. The carcajou or wolverine Is the "bete nolr" of both the white and Indian hunter In Eastern Canada's hinterland. It Is the personification of the devil among the Indians, ow- ing to its destructive habits. Every Indian baa wonderful stories to re- late about both the ferocity and tbe intelligence of the wolverine. Scarce- ly any store of provisions or outfit can be made secure against its In- trusion and theft. When once It breaks in, It not only eats all It can, but very carefully goes to work to soil and destroy. On the Northwest river a few years ago, a wolverine carried away and a few days later was taken in another trap on the Hamilton river, some thirty miles away from the place where It had picked up the first trap. It would not likely have been captured at all were it not that weight of the first trap and chain attached 'o It, It was unable to hunt for food, and being reduced to starvation and hampered by the trap attached to Its front leg. It was Im- possible for it to spring the other one without being caught. There to nothing useless to man of i; cUvtr people torn everything to To Insure Hheep.
