Banff 'daims the youngest western musher. Miss Gertrude Steelo is the young lady's name, Morning ablutions and breakfast over, this ambitious three-year-old dons her outdoor logs and hies forth in quest of Jack, her faithful steed and companion. The latter is usually waiting around for his little mistress so she leads him to the sleigh where "ho stands. patiently whilst she harnesses him. After making sure all Is- right, Miss Gertrude walks to the rear of the sleigh, then-Mush Jack" and away they go.

Some time later, checks roay from the run through the exblinrat- ing air, the youthful musher returns home. "Where have you been?" nska mother. "Ohl Me and Jack mushed down to the depot to sea the train come in," or, "Me and Jack mushed to the Cave and Basin," is generally the reply. She mushes, too, to the grocer's, the butcher's and anywhero mother may need her to to. Gertrude and Jack are inseparable, morning and afternoon they are seen on the streets of Bant. Canada's youngest musher is being seen in action during the Banff Winter Carnival at present taking place,

ELECTRICAL MECHANIC'S

POSE.

Marburg. Feb. 26. Loval matrons have been thrown into consternution by the arrest of an attractive young doctor, who in three years had built up a very lucrative practice and won an en- viable reputation for his accurate diagnoses and gynaecological skill becoming the most popular ladies' doctor in a wide area specialising in maternity cases.

It transpires that he was really an electrical mechanic: he might have pursued his medical practice indefnitely bat for the foible of wanting to keep his hand in mat- ters electrical, in consequence of which he accepted elcetrien! jobs in remote districts, which led to the detection of the imposture.

He is alleged to have hypnotia- fed his patients into forgetting, or only dimly remembering the de- taila of his treatment.
