1 ale of hate of Trio—
16 of Animals Slain.
Port Arthur. Ontario, Dec. 18._A
xi eat roving hand of hungry timber
wolves has devoured three men, ac
cording to meager reports sifting in
from the snow covered trails of the
Sturgeon river country. These re
ports told of a losing luittle fought
by two Indians after a white trapper
had been downed and killed.
Hast Saturday an elderly trapper
i left his cabin in the woods 70 miles
| ; orth of Ignuce to mush down to the
■ettlement for his Christmas piail.
He arrived in safety. There was no
mail, however, nml the old man said
he would come back Christmas morn
ing. At noon he had not arrived.
The postmaster sent two Indians to
follow the trail until they found him.
About two miles from the settle
ment the Indians found a spot pound
ed down In the snow and crimson
htied. Bits of dog harness torn to
shreds were scattered about. In the
midst of them the Indians found hu
man bones. They hastened back to
report their discovery.
^^The lure of the bounty on wolves,
however, urged the Indians to take
the trail again with extra ammuni
tion. They sped behind their dog
team into the woods as the villagers
waved good-bye. They did not re
turn.
Tuesilay a new searching party de
parted. They found another patch
trodden In the snow_ubout two miles
beyond the first.
The two guns the Indians had car
ried were lying there and scattered
about were bones, bits of clothing and
1 empty shells.
The carcasses ef lfi dead wolves
lay stretched in a circle about the
trampled patch of snow.

President Pays
Tribute to Memory
of Louis Pasteur
Says Wonderful Advances of
Medicine and Surgery Due
to Work of French
Scientist.
Philadelphia, Dec. 28.—Messages of
appreciation of the great humani
tarian work accomplished by Louis
Pasteur were read here from Presi
dent Harding, Woodrow Wilson. Chief
Justice Taft and many others at the
centenary celebration of the French
scientist's birth. Jules Jesseratid,
French ambassador to the United
States, spoke of him as the greatest
of the immortals of France,
"The wonderful advances of medi
cine and surgery are the direct re
results of Pasteur's life and work,”
said President Harding’s message.
"Already many Infectious diseases
have been conquered n»d as a result
the length of human life has in
creased. America has been among
the first nations to apply Pas
teur’s work to practical use. The
building of the Panama canal was
made possible by knowledge of the
germs of yellow fever.”
After expressing regret that he
could not be present, former Presi
dent Wilson's message said in part:
"I can see that it is his (Pasteur s)
immortal distinction that he not only
broadened the thought and enlightened
the practice of the great medical
profession in the treatment of cer
tain diseases, but also greeted bar
riers against all disease.”
Pasteur was hailed as "one of the
greatest benefactors of the humnn

The Bo ►tlegger’s Bad
Ways and Big Profits
The lazy and dreamy old Nassau that in other days traded in sponges and tropical fruits,
is today a busy commercial center. The sponge-baths are now used as the small craft of the
- smugglers to reach the South Atlantic coast of the United States, while vessels of all sizes
that range from serf-going tugs to a converted Spanish battle-cruiser, carry the cargoes of rum
to New York and the New England coast. In the bar-rooms, at the dining-tables, in the lobbies
and on the porches of the hotels and boarding-houses at Nassau, the capital city of the Bahama
Islands, the bootleggers and whisky smugglers “talk of their plans, tell of their profits and laugh
at Uncle Sam.” There, according to Frank K. Dolan, who went to the Bahamas to study the
rum-runner’s methods for the New York Daily News, “a man is either ‘right’ or ‘queer.’ ” If
a stranger is suspected of being “queer”—thought to be a revenue officer, a detective, or some
one likely to interfere with the rum-smugglers’ operations—“he is curtly told to leave town,
and in some instances blackjacked and beaten.”
In THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, December 30th, there is an informative and
interesting account of the methods and operations of the \yhisky smugglers.
