It Is Incredible that the spirit of hoodlumism should manifest itself in such a way end on such an occatton, and no punishment that the law allows for disorder and inciting to riot can be too severe for every one of the hoodlums who took part in the attack on the mourners, In securing such punishment the authorities should count on the hearty co-operation of the proprietors of the factory from which the attack was made. It re- mains to inquire into the charges of police brutality which appear to be only too well founded.

Rabbits are easily overcome and uxvally make no resistance whatever, Yet one writer eays: “1 once heard of a hare which, though frightened, bravely attempted to defend itself against Its relentless enemy. The screams of the poor creature attracted the notice of my in- formant, who was at work in an adjoining field. On looking over the hedge he perceived the unfortunate hare endeavor- Ing to keep off the attack of a stoat. Every time the etoat sprang forward the hare knocked him down with a blow from its forepaw, and even while the observer watched the determined creature made several unsuccessful attempts at the neck of the hare, On the man coming forward the stoat desisted and slunk away, but the hare was too exhausted to run with speed, and would certainly have fallen had the combat been conlinued much longer." ee pride and glory in the person of ‘Thos.
