Britain ia the peace-keeper of the
world, aud her leading sitings
kept China in the paths of peace.
Btifiin's aim was In help China to
stand on her own feet. The aim of the
olher powers is to knock China, down
and divide her territory, Russia,
Fiance and Germany have striven to
undermine British supremacy in China
and tbe results of their success are
written in murder, ruin and anarchy.
If British supremacy throughout Ihe
world could be likewise destroyed, tlie
nations would degenerate into one

turned loose,
Canadian poetry might stand higher
in the markets of the world if mere
tnagai'.iiic ihyiui'Sleis weie not pushed
forward as the only representative
singers of this country. Verse writers
who are given a high place by technical experts may be poets, but they are
not Canadian poets in the sense that
J. K. Kernighan is a Canadian poet.
They labour their thoughts into conventional moulds, hut they do tint re-
Heel the meaning of Canadian life or
echo the hopes of Canadian heat'is.
The correspondent who wishes to
know whether Clive Philllps-Wolley
cannot compare with Kipling as a poet
does an injustice to Mr. Wolley. M".
Wolley is not a Canadian except, hy
accident or residence, and he is not a
poet entitled to rank with the Khan,
whose warmest admirers do not regard
him as tbe equal of Rudyard Kipling.
Genius has nothing to fear from criticism. All the censure of Ihe London
critics cannot blow the divine fire out
of the Canadian poets. Nor can the
enthusiasm of Canadians kindle the divine flame if it he lacking in the woik
of their poets, and Canada does not require any of her sons to sacrifice bis
judgment hy exalting the verses of
Phillip-Wolley to equal with lhe poems

A Bunco /lining (lame.
From the land of the midnight sun
comes a story which reveals that all of
the Dawson miners are not honest.
There was ono miner there who had a
claim whn had a claim on his bunds,
and was so profitless that he desired to
unload it. He soon hatched n scheme
that proved successful, and which
yielded hiui a large sum. He hied
himself to the gold commissioner and
told him Ihut he wished to pay the
royalty on the output of theelaim, and
afler stating that he had taken out
$00,000 in gold dust from the property
paid the official the royally of (en per
cent on that amount, consisting of
$0,000. For (his he received i receipt,
which stated that the royalty on claim
numbered so and so and on such a
creek had been paid for in the sum of
just $6,000. So;.n an unsuspecting
Englishman came along and asked the
claim owner if he had anything to sell.
The receipt on Ihe royalty puid on the
worthless claim was shown to the
Englishman, and the result was that
tbe valueless claim was sold lo him
for $125,000. The Englishman, afler
he had done two or three days' work,
realized that he had run up against tbe
worst kind of a bunco game, while the
"honest" miner had left for sceoes of
civilization in order that he might
tliere enjoy the fruit* of his fraud.
Grave fears are entertained that the
smooth prospector who worked the
above game was a former Montanian,
for the reason that a similar transaction was perpetrated on Mr. Edgerton,
some years ago, while he was president
of the Second Nat ional Bank of Helena.
A prospector residing in Jefferson
county for three years paid taxes on a
hand of cattle which had no existence,
and upon the strength of the tax receipts he secured a credit of eight hundred dollars from the hank and then
departed north. — Western Mining

He Wanted To Know.
He sat next to me in a ruble car—an
innocent looking old man, with a satchel hetween his feet—audi knew Ihal
he was wondering about lhe motive
power of the car. He looked up and
down and around and finally said to
me:
"Waal, I can't make it out, What
kind nf a car is thin anyhow?"
"This is a cable line."
"Oh, it is! Oot a cable somewhere,
Eh?"
"Yes, it runs between the tracks and
each car has grips on it to catch Ihe
cable."
"But what runs the cable?"
"Big engines in Ihe power bouses."
"That's it, el>? Leiiunc put it down
in my book."
He got out pencil and memorandum
hook and jotted down the fact*, and as
he finished I remarked that he seemed
greatly interested in the cable system.
"No; not, so much," he replied. "I
put ihem Aggers down because when
I get home I'll he asked whnt 1 saw in
New York, When I come to tell
about the cable cars, there's as many
as seven men in my town who'll stand

"Are cable cars new to your people?"
