Here in the middle of a meadow, says “Cy- | cling,” stands a remarkable monu- | ment, known as the Balloon Stone, Under a hinged metal flap is a bronze plate bearing an inscription chront- cling the first balloon ascent. Lun- ardi’s ascent created a tremendous sensation, all London turning out to witness his departure into the upper atmosphere. His sole companions were a dog, a cat, and a pigeon. When he was nearing the earth in the field where the Balloon Stone stands, five laborers declined to take hold of his mooring ropes, and swear- ing they would have nothing to do with the “devil's horse,” took to their heels. But for the plucky conduct of a young servant girl from an adjoin- ing farm-house, who seized the rope and summoned assistance, the pioneer balloonist would not have effected a landing. | ALL THE DIFFERENCE “Patience, my dear, patience!” re- proved Mr. Bounce complacently. “I'm quite sure Jim didn't mean to upset his cup of tea, and it will be easy to get out a fresh table-cloth, Accidents will happen, you know, in the best regulated families—mind your glass, Willie—and it’s no good crying over— Careful, Willie!

I'll teach him to behave himse!lf— “Willie,” he roared, as he left the room, “follow me into the study!” He was one of those sad-faced men who delight in becoming railway- carriage bores, and when he saw a happy-looking stranger smoking con- tentedly near by he felt compelled to ask a few questions. | “Sir,” he began, “will you allow! your boy to smoke cigarettes when he grows up?” “I have never given the question a moment’s thought,” replied the stran- ger. The sad-faced man sighed. “And,” he went on faintly, “I sup- pose you have never thought about stopping his drinking?” “I never have,” admitted the man. The sad-faced man positively gasped. “Can it be true,” he muttered, “that there are such monsters living; such hardened, callous—” “But I think you shed to know,” interrupted the stranger, “that I have been a confirme d bac Cae all my life,” IT WAS CURIOUS “Come in.” The door opened to admit a shabby- i ke kk kk a tk Bk ok Largest and Best Stock in Northern B.C. - iI ’ | GET YOUR Rifles, Ammunition and Sporting Goods Vie HH *m for the Hunting season *E +m AT THE Prince Rupert Hardware and Supply Company THIRD AVENUE PHONE 120 x a mn alahinhintintiahinhihinhihinlenatiahsatsl | Royal Bank of Canada HEAD OFrFriceE: MONTREAL, Capital, $6,200,000 Surplus, $7,200,000 Total Assets, $100,000,000 DEC OU OUD ESTABLISHED 1869, Savings Bank Department, $1 will open an account.
