Seed Grain Fair, Friday, Dec. 2 Who Will Capture The Prizes This Year?

Our new plans are as much more’ in advance of the present as those we made a year ago were over the preceeding year and we fully

expect they will be the more appre- ciated. In order to carry out our new plans it is necessary now to usk all our patrons to assist us! hy paying up arrears, which we hope will be done without delay. These arrears are individually small butin the aggregate mean every- thing to us.

THE GLEICHEN CALL.

RETAIN WATER POWER

ASK PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO APPOINT COMMISSION

Red Deer Council Makes First Move to Endorse Plan for Establishment of a Hydro-Electro System by the Provincial berta Municipalities are Expected to Fall in Line.

Edmonton.—Red_ Deer is the first municipality to fall in line in connec- tion with the Provincial hydro-electric scheme. The city commissioners here received a copy of a resolution passed at a recent meeting of the town coun- cil at Red Deer, ath is in effect the same as that passed by the local coun- cil recently.

The reso.ution is as follows

“Whereas, as it is deemed that con- servation of the water power of the streams of the proviice and develop- ment of the same by the government for the benefit of the people as a

whole, is a matter of vital importance |

to our future development;

“Be it resolved, that this council request the government of the prov- ince to appoint a commission to in- vestigate the water power resources of Alberta with a view to the estab- lichment of a hydro-electric system by

{the province; and,

“Be it further resolved, that the council petition the executive coun-

jcil of the union of Alberta municipali-

ties to urge this matter upon the gov- ernment in the interests of the various municipalities therein.

It is understood that several other municipslities have the matter under consideration and resolutions of the sume nature are expected to be passed by each of them, with the idea of co- operation in bringing the question be- fore the government, urging upon them the necessity of conserving the

|netural resources of the province for

the public, and preventing them from filling into the hands of private capi- talists.

TARIFF NEGOTIATORS MEET

First Meeting of the Tariff Conference —Both Sides Will Make Proposals

Ottawa.—Canadian and representatives on the tariff negotia- tious met for the first time in confer- ence on Saturuay, but subsequent to the meeting did not have much to say us to what was accomplished,

Hon. W. 8. Fielding and Hon. Wm. Paterson represented Canada at the preliminary conference which was held in the outice of the Minister of Finance while the United States was represented by Henry M. Hoyt, Chas.

M, Pepper and Hon, G. Foster, American Consul General. J One of the Canadian negotiators

when approached after the conference broke up said: ‘1 am not at liberty to say anything ut present.

Asked as to how long the negotia- tions were liable to continue he said: “LT cannot say. It will depend on how we get along.”

The expectation here is that the ne- gotiations will continue till the latter part of he week, when an adjourn- ment will be necessary owing to the pppoe of the date for the opening

of parliament.

touches on the parliamentary pro- gramme, the government will prob- ably require a few days of the undivid- ed labors of the Canadian negotiators.

In the course of the next few days, it is anticipated that the preliminary ground will have been pretty well cov- ered and tentative proposals submit- ted. Then an adjournment will be taken in order to give both sides time to figure down to a definite basis the probable effect of the proposals made, This will take some time, but it is ex- pected that the commissioners will get together again in the course of a few weeks, if it is felt that any definite headway is likely to be made.

In the latter stage of the negotia- tions Secretary Knox, of the United States, will participate, while Sir Wil- frid Laurier will give the weight of his decision to the Canadian negotiators before the finishing touches are put to any agreement,

States from Different Parts of the Empire Unite in Loyal Expressions Capetown.—At a government — ban- quet, Dr, Jamieson said if the solution suggested for the impasse with Great | Britain is successful, they might an- ticipate the first step towards the union of the empire. He eulogized Hon. Mr, Lemieux’s scttiement of the

Asiatic difficulty in Canada,

The Australian premier, Mr. Fisher, {said nothing had occurred in the world’s history in recent times which would have greater effect than the union of South Africa. They now had five nations willing to co-operate in common affairs, united by unseen bonds to see justice done to all people.

Hon. Mr. Lemieux aroused enthusi- asm by his eloquent speech. England, he said, great and generous, knowing a brave foe, makes staunch friends by granting equality, freedom and _ self- government to the two races. Canada )has been welded into one by good will and mutual forbearance. Obstacles can be as succes ful y overcome in South Africa which is bound to play a brilliant part in the histcry of the |}greatest empire the world has ever seen,

What is contemplated at the colonial | Office, he said, is a permanent secre- \tariate for the Dominions, whose of- ficial spokesman in the house of com- mons will be the premier. This ex- pansion will, however, not occur for some time.

Speech at a demonstration in his hon-|

or, He urged upon his hearers the ne- cessity of advertising the resources of Victoria abroad. He was able to draw upon his experiehce in Canada and quote examples of how progress had been quickened by advertising. Regret has been expressed generally at the resignation of Mr, Tait. The megnificent prosperity of the Victoria | government railways at present is con- sidered to be largely due to his ad- ministrative ability. It is understood that he does not propose to re-enter the railway world but will devote his attention to his private affairs in Can- ada. It is now known that he made a confidential statement to the pre-

mier lust June of his intention to re-|

sign. The public | announcement would have been made had not the Richmond reilway accident and in- !quiries arising therefrom precluded Tait from making any statement of the kind. He was bound to wait until some decision had been reached by the }government as to the apportionment of the responsibility for that disaster.

\ |LESSON VII._FOURTH QUARTER, | FOR NOV. 13, 1910,

*f an: «hose face shows the effect of many | Text of the Lesson, Matt, xxiv, 32-61.

Memory Verse, 44—Golden Text, | Matt. xxvi, 41—Commentary Pre- | pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.

The greater part of this great dis- course is recorded by both Mark and Luke as weil as by wiacthew. As they left the temple one day His disciples called His attention to the great build. ings with the goodly stones and gifts, and they were evidently greatly sur- }prised by His remark that all wouid be thrown down and not one stone left upon another, Four of them came to Him privately as He sat upon the Mount of Olives and asked: Him a question which was really threefold, though they probably thought it one. The destruction of the temple. His coming ugain und the end of the age were two, if not three, distinct events. In His discourse he covered the reply to all. The whole age until He shall come again will be characterized by wars, famsnes, pos ilences and earth- quakes, with increasing wickedness until it shall be as it was in the days of Noah.

In Luke xxi, 24, He very plainly re- ferred to the approaching destenstion of Jerusalem and covered this present age by the words, “Jerusalem shall be | trodden down of the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled.” With this verse we should associate Rom. xi, 25, 26. Many of the eircum- stances connected with the destruction of Jerusalem were fo reshadowings of those at the end of the age, and the warnings are therefore similar.

Verses 27-31 of our lesson chapter speak pla nly of His com ng in power and glory immediately after the great tribulation at the end of this age. The destruction of Jerusalem was in no {sense His coming, for it is written in | Psalm cii, 16, that when He shall ap- ;pear in His glory He will build up Zion, not destroy it. He is coming again to restore all things of which the prophets have spoken (Acts iii, } 21).

The events in the east today are most startling if considered in the light of verses $2-35 of our lesson and compel us to believe that the | kingdom of God is again at hand after

ral | the long interval of its postponement

during this age. The zeal and aim of

Im-| Zionism, the mew regime in Turkey,

| her favor to the Jews, a large

| art of the land given to Abraham (

esopo-

] tamia) being now offered to them, and

|the unrest among the nations gen- erally, all point to the.approaching end of the age and the ‘coming of the king fom. How marvellously has the gen eration or race or nation of Israel been {preserved for the fulfillment of all | things (verse 34), and soon now shall

Noah can- {not be fully manifest until .after the {church is taken, but the rhanifesta- tions already on every hand-in church jand.state are most unmistakable. The | War craze of nations, the unrighteous- }ness of government in tities and states, the infidelity, in the seminaries and in the pulpits, the disregard of God and His word everywhere, should compel us to cry, ‘Come, Lord Jesus.” At the coming of Christ. to the air for His saints the true-church shall be

jend of the age the tares shall first be }gathered in bundles for the burning. “Ready” is the great word for us all, as we saw in a recent lesson. No un- saved person, whether moral or im- moral, sober or drunken, drunken ae- cording to Isa. xxviii, 7, of xxix, 9, is ready except foe the burning, the weeping and gnashing of teeth (verse 51; xxv, 41). The readiness necessary has been provided in Jesus ‘Christ by His saints the trué church shall be His great atonement, His pure life, His death in our stead, spffering for our sins, His resurrection from the dead, and any who will not plead guilty and accept Him and His right- eousness must perish and. be. separated from Him,

If we are redeemed and thus ready to meet Him we must never cezse to watch and pray, lest thé world, the flesh or the devil cause our light to fail or even to flicker, and we thus lishonor Him, “Faithful.and wise” is the only motto that will enable us to be approved of Hith (45); We must beware of saying or-even of thinking, “My Lord delayeth His coming” (48), lest we be found careless and con- formed in some measure to this pres- ent evil age. The oil of the next chap- ter must fill our lamps, and the light must so shine that men,may see our good works and glorify our Father which is in heaven (Maft. v, 16). The only proper attitude of a child of God is “waiting for His Son fiom heaven,” “looking for -that blessed hope” (1 Thess. i, 10; Titus ii, 18), and while thus expectuntly wailing, aiming in all things to serve’the living and true God, Ever ready to do, whatever our Lord and King shall appoint (II Sam. xv, 15). ‘Ready to every: good work” (Tit. iii, 1), “Ready always to give un answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and’ fear.”

Karl Fitzwilliam, whose appearance on the platform at the Trade Union Congress created some stir, can boast of owning the biggest country house in England — Wentworth Woodhouse, in Yorkshire. } u aacity, an American once said of this residence; “It is a place so huge that guests find it of advantage to bring with them treble the ordinary number of hats, which are kept at the various entrances, so as to save themselves the trouble of walking about a quar- ter of a mile from one entrance in or- der to get the hat which they may have left at another.” Earl Fitawil- liam’s rent-roll amounts to $550,000 a year. He is one of the best all-round Sportsmen in the country—master of two packs of hounds ,a good pole play- er, and a splendid shot. e has a taste for mechanics, too, as was shown when, during a harvest rush, he hitched up his best motor-car to a length of belting in a rickyard and provided an excellent ‘impromptu threshing machine.

IMPOVERISHED BLOOD

A Common and a Danger-| ous Trouble--You Must Enrich the Blood to Escape Danger.

|

Anaemia is simply a lack of blood. It is one of the most common and at the same time niost dangerous dis- éases with which growing girls suffer. It is common because the blood so impove ishel during development, when girls aie too fre-| quently allowed to over-study, over- work and suffer from a lack of exer- cise. It is dangerous because of the stealthiness of its approach, often being well developed “betore its pres- ence is recognized, and bec..use of its tendency to grow so steadily worse, | if not promptly checked, that it may run into con umption.

The value of the with Dr. Williams’ be known to every land. These Pills make new, rich blood, tone the organs and nerves, bring a glow of health to pale, sal- low cheeks, and diive awey the weak-, ness, headuclies, faintness, heart pal- pitation and loss of energy so notice- able in young girls who aie suffering from annemia, To all such Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills are an actual life saver. Miss Mabel MeTav'sh, Prince Albert, Sask., says: ‘In my case I, can only say that life had lost its magic; all work was a trial, and even pleasure only a task. When I went up a flight of stairs I was ready to lrop from sheer weakne-s, and T had begun to think life would be a con-| tinued burden, But all this is now changed, thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These were recommended to me, and after taking them for about a month I found my health renewed, I could sleep better, my appetitie re- turned, and I was so strong and well that housework was no longer a burd- en to me. My sister scemed to be going the saine way last summer and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were at once sent for and two boxes made her as well as ever. Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills are now the prized medicine in our home, and doctor bills have been fewer since we discovered the virtues of this great medicine.”

THE GLEICHEN CALL.

RELIC OF ARMADA. Important Discoveries Have

Made In Tobermory Bay. Salvage operations at the

spot

| where the Tuscany galleon Florencia

is supposed to have been lost, in Tobermory Bay, Scotland, have led to such important finds during the past fortnight that those in charge of the operations have decided to charter a powerful suction dredger, capable of clearing the areca where the

| majority of the undoubted relics of ; the Florencia have be_n found.

| lamp, of Italian pattern, quite close | to where a silver candlestick was re-

covered previously, and where two stone cannon balls were found a few days ago. The recovery of such ar- ticles as silver lamps, silver plates and silver candlesticks bears out the story in the Spanish records, that there was on board quite a fortune in the way of sacred vessels, silver crucifixes, lamps, and candelabra belonging to the seven priests who sailed in the vessel.

In the list of the treasures carried on the Florencia were included a crown of gold, with many jewels, and the admiral’s sword. The diver one day came upon the richly adorned of a sixteenth-century rapier. The quillons of the hilt dis- played beautiful filigree work, and on the guard was a Maltese cross, wit ball and crown, under which was a monogram “G.R."” The guard was still further ornamented with fine imitations of flowers and other fancy work.

An authority on antiquities, at present on holiday at Tobermory, considers that the decorations of the hilt are of gold, and this opinion is

strengthened by the fact that the hilt |

was entirely free from lime incrusta- tions. In the records of the Clan MacLean district mention is made of the adnmriral’s sword being on board the Florencia. The hilt found may or may not be that of the admiral’s sword, but it certainly is that of some grandee, and on the Florencia there were at least two such grandees

Disappointed Brides.

“Everybody knows the story told by Charles Dickens of the lady who kept to her room and would not suffer the wedding feast to be removed from the table after the wedding was inter- rupted, There are three or four others in which a lifelong seclusion followed a love disappointinent. Two of these ladies died in the year 1778, One of them, Mary Lydia Lucrine, a maiden lady of what was then called a ‘‘gen-

| teel”’ fortune—I have reason to believe

that the adjective meant something not exceeding $1,500 a year—lived for many years in her lodgings in Oxford street, never going outside the rooms, and never admitting the light of the sun, The other, whose name is not iven in my authority, lived

tury she went upstairs, pulled down the blinds, closed the shutters and the curtains, lit a candle, and sat down in dignity to weep. Her friends came to visit her; if she was possess- ed of a “‘genteel’’ fortune, like Mary Lydia Lucrine, she provided tea anw cake or something hot, with a glass of cordial. If, however, she had no money, she had to stay at home anJ to go on with the old domestic du ties. In that case she speedily pieced together the fragments of the broken heart and give it perhaps none the worse for the fracture and the recov- ery, to another man. Doubles’ Troubles.

PLANK FELL ON HIM.

| | Hamiiton Man Bad!y Injured.

|} Reuben Athe:ton, of 367 Ferguson Ave., Hamiiton, an employee of the | Otis Elevator Co., sustained sericus | injury while at work. <A plank fell] from a height on to his right foot, crushing it badly. He was taken home, where Zam-Buk was applied| With good results.

Telling his experience of the balm, he said: ‘After the doctor had dress- ed the damaged foot with some pre- paration of his own I was in great pain, and as day after day I seemed jo get no relief I left off medical treatment and tried Zam-Buk, From ‘the very first ap; Leation I traced an improvement, Zam-Buk really seemed to act like magic, cleaning all the unhealthy matter from the wounds, jdrawing out all discoloration, inflam-

mation and soreness; and — started healing in quick time. In two weeks the toe and foot were well again.

Zam-Buk balm is certainly a wonder- ful healer, and I would not care to be without a box in the house. You can use the above statement in any paper, books or publications, as it may lead some other sufferer to use Zam-Buk and get relief as I did.”

THE RETORT COURTEOUS, An Editorial Reply Which Was Sharp

and Beyond the Libel Law.

There are a great many varieties of the “retort courteous,” even though no one has ever taken the trouble tu classify them. The repartee of the cultured wit is often so subtle that it Adel bts pointless to the man whose methods are those of a heavy-weight. The retort of the skilled Parliamentar- ian differs greatly from that of the professor in an academic debate. There are many other types, but standing all alone in a place by itself is the retort of the newspaper of the small town,

A very good example of the way in which these editors go for one another appeared a short time ago in an On- tario paper. It was a weekly publish- ed in one of those small towns which has a rival community a few tiles bald They hate one another with a deadly enmity, but for the sake of economy they occasionally work to- gether and use the same electric pow- er house and the same private tele- phone system. add that the town which gets its tele- phone service from the other village spends considerable time passing criti- cisms upon their treatment and the management of the company. The bickerings over these things have be- come chronic.

One week the paper came out with an article which occupied the most conspicuous portion of the front page and gave the telephone service a se- vere raking over the coals. The edi- tor had a personal grievance which he made the text of his editorial. His wife had been left at home alone one evening, and a drunken man got on the verandah by mistake. The lady attempted to call the police but could not get “central.” In lurid colors and with emotional ability which charac- terizes a country newspaper, the edi- tor described his wife’s state of mind. He proved that the telephone com- pany was responsible for the pitiful condition of nervousness in which the ely was eventually found.

It was confidently expected that the paper in the neighboring town would come back with an attack upon the electric light system. The next issue

was eagerly secured, but it contained |

only one shcet reference to the inci- dent, printed in large letters. The edi- tor remarked, ‘‘We are greatly sur-

| prised that Mrs, Scribe should be dis-

turbed by the sound of a drunken man on her verandah.”

A Bard at Eighty-One.

St. Stanley Larkin of Moose Jaw has |

made public some interesting facts. He has an uncle in England, eighty- one years of age, and a_ bard with royal recognition. Old Mr. Larkin was much affected by the death of King Edward. He sat down and ex- pressed his condolence in verse. The poetic tribute was widely quoted in England:

“Edward, the Great Peacemaker,” Thus will he e’er be known,

Of realms on which the sun ne'er sete The King of peace he shone.

Then’ rnise the Royal Standard, Unfurl it to the breeze,

‘The olive branch’ its message, To all the lands and seas.

And may the Almighty Ruler, Whom kings and realms adore,

To our great noble Edward, Grant peace for evermore.”

Mr. Larkin, sr., received the follow ing letter from Buckingham Palace:

“Miss Knollys is commanded by Queen Alexandra to thank Mr. Larkin for his kind sympathy and touching tribute.”

Dreams and the Awakening.

It was a custom among Canadian Indians, says a contributor to The Canadian Magazine, when they dreamed of receiving a favor from an other to apply to him for it fulfill. ment, and whenever possible the con ditions of the dream were complied with, ‘

A chief one morning came to Sir William Johnson, then governor, and told him that he had dreamed that His Excellency had made him a present of the suit of regimentals which he wore.

The governor immediately agreed to make the present asked for, but as the chief was ubout to leave told him that he also had had a dream to the effect that the chief had given him a certain large tract of land of his.

The chief was silent a moment.

“Well, you shall have it,” he then said, “but, if you please, Sir William, we will not dream any more.”

Might Have Been Worse.

A sad-faced editor, with fringes on the bottom of his trousers, and the wind singing mournfully through his whiskers, sat in his sanctuin thinkin —thinking. Presently a shadow fel across the room und a shrill voice demanded to know if he was the edi- tor, ‘Yes, sir,” said he, with a look of alarm. The owner of the voice mopped the floor with the editor, and went his way. ‘Thank heaven!” ex- claimed the editor, after he had gath- ered together the wreck of his former self and had straightened up the furni- ture. ‘Life is still worth living. I ex- pected he would tell. me to stop his paper.”—Sault Star,

The Chairman called upon Mr. Till to explain what he intended to do with regard te the extension of the skating rink for the coming seasen,

Mr. Till in reply said that it was his desire, as far as Jay in bis power, to meet the wishes of the hockey club and the skuters gi nerally. Of course, they were aware that in ex- tending the present rink to the pro- posed dimensions he would have to enerorch on the read allowance. To do this it was necessary to get the permission of the Council; but as the road was one that was never u-ed he did not expect any objec- tion would be raised, and so he vould construct a rink with ice area about 150 feet by 70 fect and ample accomodation for spectators, He expected to have the woik com- pleted the coming week. He was also makirg arrangements to have tie rink lighted by electricity.

THE

GLEICHEN CALL.

When His Majesty’s battleship Dresdnought was launched in Febru- }ary, 1906, one had the feeling that , finality had surely been reached in } the matter of naval consiruction; but ; the navies of the world have been making giant strides ever since. |

First came greater ACEH Heh |

A lifetime of disfigure- ment and suffering often results from improper treatment of the skin or neglect of simple skin af- fections. Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, affords the purest, sweetest and most economical method of caring for the complexion, preventing minor erup- tions from becoming chronic, and speedily dis- pelling severe eczemas and other torturing humors, itchings and _ irritations, from infancy to age.

great steps in the use of oil-fuel.

And in the past few weeks several

startling announcements have been yut forward, Within a few days we vid talk of motor-driven battleships, and a report of a coming small de- | stroyer, of a height only 36 inches | }above the water, and with only two ! guns, but of such power and rapidity of fire that the mone, «sent on Dread- noughts and su, ¢-Droadnoughts | might as well have cven thrown into the sen, These guns are to be of 17 inch bore, and will fire a weight of 5,822 pounds.

Nor must we forget the battleship cruiser Lion, launched only the other | day. She is to be more powerful than | the most powerful Dreadnought, and faster than the fastest destroyer. The St. Vineent, the largest Dreadnought now in commission, has only 19,259 | tons displacement, as against the | Lion’s 26,360 tons.

Two Pots Saved.

Sir George Bartley, the pioneer of penny banks, who died recently, was wont to tell an amusing story con- | cerning an early depositor, A work- | ing man came in one y, und laying down a shilling said, ake two pots out of that.’ The cashier took eight. | pence, the price of two pots of beer,

and returned fourpence. Had the ! bank not been there to receive the | money the whole of it would have

gone in “pots.” The first penny bank was started in a room in Edgware Road, next to an exhibition where a fat woman was on show. Sir George thought she cut into their business, | and was glad when he heard she was | going. But another attraction came | along, and Sir George was obliged to | enter in his diary, ‘‘Fat woman gone, | but her place taken by a baby with | no arms and no legs.”

Sunsets.

Some modern artists claim, contrary to general bellef, that the pretttest sunset colorings are to be seef in the cities, owing to the dust in the air, The open country, however, affords the

, Breatest sweep of the sky.

Comparable With the Circulation of Blood In Animals.

It is generally known that plants | have a circulation comparable with the circulation of blood in animals, but it is not so well known that their torce of liquid propulsion is vastly | greater than any animal's blood ae : sure, even the elephant’s. The force of an animal's blood as it circulates

\through the largest arteries is incap- |

able of raising a column of water over seven feet high, whereas the force of a plant’s sap, even of a small vine, can raise a column of water from forty to eighty feet high, exerting a pressure | of over two atmospheres. | The way this is shown in the labora- tory is to tear off a small branch of a tree and fix it air tight into a rather large short tube filled with water. To the bottom end of the thick tube is attached a small thin tube filled with colored water and having its lower end immersed in a vessel of colored water. This experiment simply shows the rate of absorption of fluid by a plant. The colored water is seen to rise in the small tube at a compara. tively rapid rate, an inch or so a min- ute. To show the height to which the pressure can force water, a tube has to be fitted into the bark of a plant

‘and the root supplied with water.

Hales first showed this with a smali vine, which he severed and to which he applied a tube. The fluid rose to over forty feet. De Candolle tried other plants and in one instance se- cured a height of eighty feet or over two atmospheres’ pressure, The cause of this force was long considered due

}to capillary attraction caused by, the

hairlike tubes in plants. This failing to account for the enormous force de- veloped, a microscopic examination showed that these vessels had a pro- gressive contracting motion similar to that in the arteries of animals and that the explanation in each case was the

| same,

Thus the vitality or principle of life that allows this motion is in all cases the direct cause.

Stage Fun Unrehearsed.

Actors and actresses have a good deal of fun among themselves on the stage, though guying is strongly dis- countenanced by good managers, Gen- erally the fun is quite impromptu, but sometimes a joke is carefully planned beforehand. Once, in a performance ot “The Lady of the Lake,” one of the srincipal actors—Roderick Dhu—was kaowin to be in pecuniary difficulties. When Roderick gave the line, ‘I am Roderick Dhu,” Fitz-James respond- er, “Yes, and your rent’s due too.”

A piece called “The Spy” was once produced. The early acts showed that it was going to be a dead failure. At a certain point a character had to rush on and shout, “Five hundred pounds for the Spy!’? The author, who was concealed behind a rock, aroze and cried, ‘It’s yours — copy right, manuscript and parts!’ That was the end of the performance.

Artist and Social Worker. Always keenly interested in social problems, Sir William Richmond, B.A., who opened an exhibition at Whitechapel, London, recently, has

| great idvals for transforming London

into a beautiful city. The thanks of the public are due to him for his un- ceasing efforts to get the smoke nuis- ance of London stopped. He hates ugliness as much as he hates noise, and some time ago announced his in- tention of designing a motor-car on graceful lines, because he considered the motor-car of to-day a very ugly machine. The famous Academician was one of London’s boy prodigies some fifty years ago, and often aston ished his friends and relatives by car- tooning them upon walls, doors, ta- bles—upon anything, in fact, which

Trees to Rent.

“When I read on the business card of a decorator the legend, ‘Trees to rent,’ I was curious to know more about it and made inquiries,” said an inquisitive man,

“TI learned that one could rent trees in this city at $20 atree for an occa- sion. The kind most in demand is the bay laurel, which in ancient times was | heid sacred to Apollo, These trees are | raised in a large transportable box | and stand about ten feet high. A pleasant aromatic odor is given off the leaves. The tree is symbolic of | victory in the arts of peace as well as victory in war. One man in this city

A Hard Moment.

“Well, Jim,” said Bingleton, as he | proudly showed off his first-born, | “what do you think of that for a kid?"

“He’s some kid, all right, all right,” returned Jim unemotionally.

“Think he looks like me, old man?” persisted Bingleton.

“H-m! Well—er—ah — hum — well,

| Bill, I—well, old pal, to tell you the |

truth, I’m afraid he does!” replied the embarrassed Jim.

Effects of Gales on Lakes.

The tide-like effects of gales on lakes having no ordinary tides is yery con- siderable. In the Caspian a gale will | raise the water on one side six feet, | causing a total difference of level of | twelve feet; in the Baltic easterly | gales will produce a change of eight feet, and in. Lake Erie heavy gales occasionally cause a difference of level of more than fifteen feet.

Paris Pawnshops.

Practically for mote than a cen- tury and absolutely for more than fifty years the Mont de Piete has en- joyed u complete monopoly of the pawnbroking business of France. By article 411 of the penal code any per- son lending money on pledge is liable to imprisonment fifteen days to three months and a fine of 100 to 1,000 francs (a france equal to 19.3 cents).

Paid the Piper. To the tune of two dollars and costs per capita, seven participants in 4 Township charivari were recently singed by Magistrate Houston in the county police court

Giant firecrackers, tin cans anl other musical instruments figured prominently in the program of the affair, which was pulled off on the oe casion of a wedding which took place recently just outside the city limits. Much joy filled the hearts of the par ticipants till suddenly they were call- ed upon by Mayor Fleet with neat little billet doux which invited them to explain why they had disturbed the peace.

The outcome was that seven of the participants—two young men and five maidenus—attached their signatures to a written statement admitting their guilt. Another young lady denied ac- tual participation and the charge against her was not pressed.—Chat-

Preferred to Swim.

Last Sunday afternoon four youag gentlemen ot the village were seen out canoeing on the pond, enjoying some of the beautiful scenery arounc our vale, when a great splash was heard and the canoe was upturned The unfortunate young men _ with their Sunday suits and fine hats on were forced to swim or drown. The last that has been seen of the youn men they were standing on the bank enjoying the sweet, warm summer breezes while the sun dried their fin- ery as it hung on a neighboring fence. The whole commotion. was caused by a young lady tossing ao pebble at them, and in dodging tha missile the canoe was overturned, They all have her sympathy.—White Vale correspondent Pickering News.

Would Make a Big City.

Were Berlin and Waterloo to unite now, the new city thus formed would jump ahead of the smaller cities, right on the heels of Kingston and Brant- ford. Waterloo’s returns show an in- crease for the year of 106, and the present population is 4,620, which, with Berlin's 14,600, leaves less than 800 necessary to pass the 20,000 mark

In ten years the increase of Berlin |

alone was 4,914, so that it is now considerably larger than were the two towns together a decade ago.

CHAPTER IV, BLINDFOLDED,

OR two days the club steward only nodded when Hillard came in. He had no letters to pre sent.

“1 am thirty-three yenrs old,” Hil- lard mused as he sought the reading room, “Downtown | am looked upon

If he bad handed me a letter tonight I should have had to lean against the wall for support. ‘This will never do ost all. 1 have not seen her face; | do not know her name, For all 1 know she may be this Leddy Lightfinger. No; that would be Impos- sible. Leddy Lightfinger would have made an appointment. What possesses me to dwell in this realm of fancy, which fs less tangible than a cloud of smoke?" He smoked thoughtfully. “Or am I romantic? ‘To create romance

He dropped the paper. There was really nothing new in the world. If Giovanni returned to Italy in the spring he was of a mind to go with him. He looked up and was glad to 8ee Merrihew in the doorway.

“Been looking for you, Jack. Want your company tonight. Kitty Killt- grew fs giving a little bite to eat after the performance and has asked me to

+ bring you along. Will you come?"

“With pleasure, Dan. Are you din- ing with any one tonight?’ Hillard was lonesome.

“Yes. A little bridge till 11.”

“You're bopeless. 1 can see vou tn imbo, matching coffin plates with Charon. J'll bunt you up at 11."

“Heard the talk?”

“About what?"

“Why, some one iu the club bar heen using the agony column. ‘The J. are being guyed unmercifully, and you'll cone In for ft presently, {t's a case of wine on the man who did it"

Hillard felt of bis collar and drew down bis enffs. “l’robubly some joke,” he ventured tentatively,

“Tf it isn't the man who would stoop to such tommyrot und tack the name of his club to it must be an ass.”

“No doubt abont that. Odd that this is the first tine | have heard about It.” But sileotly Hillard was swearing at his folly.

“I may depend upon you tonight, |

then?” sald Merrihew. “} shall be pleased to meet Miss KIl- , Mgrew.” which was a white one. Ail- lard would have pald ccurt to a laun- dress rather than offended Merrihew. And promptly at 11 he went up to the card room and dragged Merrihew away. Merrihew gave up bis chair reluctantly. [le was winning. amateur gambler never wants to stop. On the way to the Killigrew apart- ment Merrihew's moods yarled, one moment he was on the heights, at the next in the depths. He simply could not live without Kitty. Per-

He found a pleasing and diverting

company. There was Mere Killigrew, | a quaint little old lady wi.o deplored | ber daughter's occupation, but admit- |

ted that without her success heaven only knew how they would have got along. There was the genial Thomas O'Mally, a low comedian of genuine ability, whom Hillard new casually; Smith, a light comedian, and Worth, a moderately successful baritone, to whom Hillard took one of those {n- stant and unaccountable dislikes, These three and Kitty were going abroad,

Kitty fancicd Hillard from the start, and he on bis side found her well edu- cated, witty and unaffected. She was even prettier than her photograph, Merrihew's face beamed upon them both in a kind of benediction. He had known all along that once Jack saw Kitty he would become a good ally in fighting down her objections.

“Think of singing in Italy!" cried Kitty. “Isn't it just wonderful?"

“And has Merrihew told you to get a

return ticket before you sail?’ with’

half a jest.

“Don't you think {t will be success-

“They certulnly ought to. But I'm an old kill-joy,” :

BREAD BASKET OF EMPIRE.

Just What Canada Can Do With Her Annual Wheat Output.

A recent issue of the Canadian Farm contains an_ interesting com- putation as to the bread possibilities of Canada's wheat crop. The article tuns thus:

‘Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatche- wan produced last year almost 119, 900,000 bushels of wheat. It takes five bushels of wheat to make a bar- Therefore that wheat crop is equivalent to 23,800,000 bar- rels of flour. Each barrel of flour makes 180 loaves of bread, weighing one and one-half pounds each. That flour, therefore, would make 4,284,- 000,000 loaves of bread. It is esti- mated that each person eats, on an average, about 130 of such loaves in a year. Finally, then, that amount of flour would keep almost 33,000,000 people in bread for a year. And as Canada’s population is probably un- der 8,000,000, Canada could have spared bread last year for 25,000,000 people, or more than half the United <ingdom’s population of between

45,000,000 and 46,000,000. Not only | lust |

would Canada’s wheat crop of year have given bread to so many millions; the by-product of that great wheat crop would feed 212,000 horses for a year.

“In figuring out the foregoing no account has been taken of the wheat produced in the other provinces of Canadu Were that added, it would be seen that Canada could keep con- siderably more people of the Land in bread than has been stated.

Canada's wheat-growing belt is four |

times the size of the United States, and, whereas the days of the promin-

ence of the United States as a wheat |

exporting country are done, Canadu is rapidly coming to the front in ex porting. Western Canada's wheat production is five times what it was ten years ago. And Canada has sold

Great Britain $264,925,420 worth of grain in ten years. Canada is certainly making pro-

gress in wheat production,.and if im- migration continues at its present rate, Professor Mavor's famous pes: simistic report to the British Board of Trade will look like a lust year's editorial in a party newspaper.”

In the House Library. One tall volume in the Parliament- ary library at Ottawa contains all the issues of ‘‘Le Canadien," the

first Canadian newspaper, which was |

suppressed by Governor Craig in 1210, It is a small sheet of two pages about eighteen inches long, and it serves to remind one how fur we have traveled from that time to these davs of huge Saturday editions.

The oldest book in the library is “La Somme Rurale,"” a body of rural regulations of various kinds, publish- ed in 1580, But the book on which

Goveinor-General Treads Paths Limit- ed to Indians and Wild Game, But Finds Navigation of Northern Sea Practicable For the Transportation of Grain and Ore — Development Work Certain In Near Future,

Nothing in the period of Earl Grey’s Governor-Generalship of the Domin- fon of Canada has been more spectacu- lar or more indicative of his interest in the vast extent of territory which he serves than the journey to and across Hudson Bay, which he has just accomplished.

By canoe and portage, whaleboat and sailing vessel Earl Grey traveled as a voyager of the old adventurous days over the same trails, packed hard by the moccasined feet of 100 years, in the same manner as did Hearne, the explorer, or Mackenzie the dauntless, or many another of the Hudson Bay company’s pioneers of 200 and 300 years ago. It was a land at a standstill His Excellency passe through.

The country had never been explor- ed from any point of view other than that of the hunter after fur peltri+s until Karl Grey and his companions

assed through. Although its rivers nave been the highroads of commerce for many years, little information oth er than the amount of the season's fur catch has been sifted from the country,

And this is most natural. Canada as a whole has been advance: ing rapidly, this district has been

\ | switch-tender allowed Jimmy to tear | For while |

marking time. Wedged in between the | great wheat acres of the south, ice | blown Hudson Bay to the north, the |

mixed farming country of the Sas- katchewan to the west and the minins regions of new Ontario to the east ward, this vast and almost inaécesibie | area has held sullenly aloof from the | white man and is tracked only by In- | dians and game.

Until viceroyalty appeared it was 4 barren land—a desert within an oasis Now the magic wand of power and prestige waves over the country, an1 it becomes a land of gold, of wheat and of many riches.

Members of the party also bring back word of what the outside worid has ever suspected to be the case-- that it is a huntsman’s and _fisher- man’s paradise, a limitless holiday ground for millions of people. They also tell tales of meeting men—men of the frontier—miners and prospectors, who have staked out claims in quartz and sand, One old veteran on Pipe- stone Lake showed them mica, and the party itself discovered petroleum

| without haying to be shown.

| But the wealth of the country is of little use unless some means can he | employed to get it out to the civilized markets of the world, and it is most interesting and encouraging +o all

Canadians to hear what Earl Grey and | his companions have to say upon th feasibility of the Hudson Bay route as an outlet for the western harvest and the products of the Keewatin and Ungave.

For 178 years Hudson Bay has been navigated by traders and whalers’ ' ships continu»usly with the exception | of one year, Still scientists speak du- biously of the possibility of making use of Hudson Bay for commerciai purposes, and old and wily navigator- smile caustically and shake their heads yhen they are told within a de.

cade the northern route will duplicate |

the St. Lawrence trade,

Ships have frequented the bay four three hundred years and more, and scarcely a mip has experienced seri- ous trouble, although the majority of them have been sailing vessels with out auxiliary power to keep them mov- ing through the ice, There are no arti ficial aids to navigation in the bay. no detailed or accurate charts being available, no currents, no magnetism carefully worked out. | Earl Grey has had compiled a list, a very incomplete list, but none the les valuable, of the most experienced and | intelligent of the American and Scotch

whaling masters who have been ac- | customed to navigate the straits each | year. From these the opinion appears | to be unanimous that during the au. tumn and summer months at any rate should drift ice occur in these parts, open water, suitable for the passage of steamers, can always be found be | tween it and the shores.

Earl Grey has put an end to anoth- er misbelief. Hudson Bay never has and never will be frozen over in win- ter. He has this on the authority of Indians, Eskimos, trappers and trad- | ers, who, either themselves or their ancestors, have inhabited the shores | of the bay for centurise. may sometimes be more or less cover- ed with floating ice, but its great depth and the strength of its current: make its surface proof against frost.

Jimmy Fidler Holds a Record In Mountain Railroading.

To Engineer Jimmy Fidler, once of the OP... belongs the doubtful credit of having ridden a runaway engine the length of the Hill, which is the name for the great ey down Kickin, Horse Pass in the Rockies. The rail- road officials evidently thought the credit wasn't Jimmy’s.

Jimmy started down the Big Hill! one summer day a dozen years ago with a light bi fied He let the en. gine get away from him and found himself approaching the first safety- switch at much more than the eight miles an hour prescribed by the time

“Here goes for Field!”

He reached for the whistle lever and sounded four imperious yelps to in- form the switch-tender that he wanted the main line Fearing that the signal might not be taken seriously, Jimmy repeated it, and then gave it a third and a fourth time.

The close of the professional lacroses season was followed by aun incident, the truth of which is vouched for by a clerk in a well-known haberdashery. One afternoon seven men came in to gether and took possession of the show room. The shortest member of the party, a little fat fellow with a jolly countenance, sat down in a chair and appeared to take very little inter- est in tne other six, wao proceeded to raid the hat boxes,

Canada's Peak.

Americans try to convey to effete Europeans the impression that they have the highest mountain on the continent within their borders. Mount Logan held the record, and it is in Canadian territory. Americans al- ways speak of Mount McKinley as if it were in American territory. It is

the corner post of the official boun- |

dary line le:tween the two countries, and is as much in Canada as in Uncle Sam's land. The new moun- tain discovered by Surveyor Riggs, which beats all records, and is the highest mountain on the continent, according to American despatches, appears to be on the American side. is really in Canada.

WHERE MANUEL FLED

FORTRESS OF GIBRALTAR AND ITS MILITARY GuVERNOR.

Key to the Mediterranean Was Once a Most Untidy City, But It Has Been Renovated and Is Now Re: markable for Its Cleanliness—It Is an Old Fortress and Was Mili- tary Base for Saracens.

When King Manuel fled from Por- tugal he quite naturally sought re- fuge at Gibraltar for the simple rea- son that it was the safest as well as the nearest place which offered him protection, Furthermore, since Great Britain is supposed to have guaran- teed the integrity of Manuel's rule it was probably as wise a move as he could have made, Gibraltar is & strongly fortified point commanding the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and it is regarded as the greatest naval stronghold of Great Britain. Besides a small town at its foot, it consists of a mountainous rock tower- ing, at its highest point, about 1,493 feet ubove the sea level. The rock is perforated by numerous caverns, the largest of which, called the Halls of St. Michael, have an entrance ubout 1,000 feet above the sea.

The climate of Gibraltar is, as u rule, healthful, though the period from July to November, when the heat prevails, is attended with some risks to visitors from northern and cooler climates, Of late

S81R A. HUNTER. years, the energetic measures adopted by the engineer officers to improve the drainage, coupled with stringent

police regulations, have greatly di- minished the death rate. Gibraltar is as remarkable now for its cleanly appearance as, before 1814, it was for being one of the dirtiest towns in Europe. Since 1704 Gibraltar has been a British possession. The first record of its natural strength being used for defensive or aggressive pur- poses was in 711 A.D. When the Saracens passing into Spain under Tarik Ibn-Zeyad, a general of the Saracen forces, for, the conquest of the Visigothic kingdom, fortified it, as a base of operations, and a ready point of access from the Barbary coast. From this chieftain it took the name Gebel-Tarik, or Hill of Tarik, of which Gibraltar is a cor- ruption,

The population of the town, includ- ing a garrison of approximately 6,000 men, is about 30,000. It is ruled by both civil and military authority and the governor-general, who at present is Sir Archibald Hunter, is also com- mander and chief of the garrison. For reasons of military secrecy it is forbidden to photograph the rock, but photos are frequently made from a strip of land known as “Neutral Ground,” separating Spain from Gibraltar.

Reynolds and Two Pictures,

Sir Joshua Reynolds having become & great man, it was but natural that the town council of Plympton, near Plymouth, where he was born, should elect him mayor. In acknowledgment of the honor he painted a fine portrait of himself and presented it to the cor- poration. He wrote to a friend ask-

| ing him to see that the picture was | hung in a good light. This friend not

only did so, but hung a poor picture alongside of it in order to heighten the merits of Sir Joshua's wor by contrast. Then he informed Rey: nolds of all the trouble he had taken In thanking him Sir Joshua told him that the poor picture had been paint- ed by himself (Reynolds) tn early life.

Reversed the Order.

A young clergyman who was of a shy disposition was rather embarrass ed at his first marriage ceremony and unwittingly reversed the usual order of the service, thus making the bride- groom promise to love and obey ths blushing bride. The error passed un- noticed at the time, but shortly after- ward it dawned upon the father of the bride that a mistake had occurred, and he said to the clergyman: “[ believe, Mr. Blank, you have made Join to promise to love and obey my Ah, well,” he added after a pause and with a sly look at his bet- ter half, “I suppose it won't matter much; it generally comes. to that in the end anyway.”
