in tin- Township of Westminster,
Middlesex County, wtth ita northern
boundary on the River Thames, there
are many authentic stories ol the
pioneers of ', iu district which deserve
io bu told to succeeding generation
H only to inspire them with the same
feeling of brotherhood, heroic eooragj
and persoverahoo which distinguished
these early settlers, There huve* beeu

length. Tile second survey, wllicn
was made along the west -id.- of th.
township, ahii..m at right angles witli
the first, gave concessions two and a
hull mill's wide. This is kuown a*
the North Street survey, and the roml
which runs through it is purt ol tin*

Tne remainder ol the township waa
surveyed several years after the se

sixths of a mile wide. Iu const-
quence ol this variety of surveys a
map of the township looks something;'
like a section ol a crazy patchwork
quilt.
Digman's Creek runs across the
towuahip from east to v.-.tt, crossing
aud reorossing some of the concessions nearly a dozen times, und close,
to this creek occurred one of tilt"
most pathetic incidents associated
with the early settlers of the town

We will soon be celebrating iu Canada west the centenary of the landing
on the bunks of tho Red River ul the
tlrst of tin- Selkirk pioneers, says Our-
ahl Wade in The Globe.
The portion of what is known as
the Province ol Manitoba was lirst
settled by Lord Selkirk iu IbTH. In
I a country where historical records
and memorials are all tou scarce, as
in tho west, whieh is practically de-
void of any marks ol appreciation of
those who did su much for Hub couutry, it is to b,> hoped that the coming
"Selkirk Cetiteuii.ul" will bu marked
by a luitubla memorial to the founder
j ul the "Ited Rlvoi Colony." He was
' a pioneer Imperialist and one of the
I lirst advocates of ICmpirc-buildiug by
: colonization.

colony. To-day beautifully sltuuted
i on the banks of the Red River above

especially to those who are descend-

interesting "tablets" erected to the
memory of "Tha Pioneers ol Canada
West" which one sees on the walls uf
St. Andrews, not ine least interesting
is a beautiiul memorial Window over
the altar to the memory ol the "pioneer builder of churches in the west,"
the Rev, Archdeacon Cochrane, placed
there some thirty-two years ago.
St. Andrews Parish, which is so rich
iu history, has one historical advantage over Furl Garry in that it .-*,;,
retains its original name and identity,
while Fort Cany and other places are
lost in name to the people of to-day.
The old Church building und rectory
are iu a good state of preservation,
und the latter is occupied by toe
present rector and his family.

Went, who was the first minister ol
St. Andrews, **">*- "H» arrived In ihe

of St. Andrews, the Rev. William

deservedly much of the creJit of laying

A GREAT CHIRCHMAN.
Chancellor Burwash Is Young at
Sevonly-Two Ye rs of Age.
A splendid typo (of Canadian, a
great Christian geii letunii, a.,d a
churchman w^ ;<*, lull a-nuu will never
j be measured is Dr. Nathaniel Bur-
wash, president arid d i/iiicclior of Victoria CollegS. who cdebrctod bis aev-
enty-secoud birthday recently. Meu-
ll.n the name of Chaicelkr Burwash
to anyone who has et er cume iu cou-
tact with him ia an;/ way, and you
will heur froui his lips 01 see iu his
eyes a tribute of resp-ct to this great
aud guud man. This can be suid ol
tew mortals, either in Toronto or elsewhere, but it ia a simple fact.
Une day a member of the staff of
Ihls journal was chatting with u dealer iu rare bouks. The name ol Dr.
llurwa-h was brought up as a man
whu owned a fine library. The dealer's attitude at once became one of
actual affection, and he took Irom his
pocket a letter which the chancellor
nad written to lum years ago, aud
which he alwti.-s carries. The Jitter—
just a brlol note—was oue of those
manifestations of courtesy so easily,
yet so rarely, given in this hurrying
agu. lt was to thank the dealer for
■; securing a certain book, una a delight-
1 lul note it waa. Moat ot us, with our
trivial duties, aro "too busy" for such
courtesies—not so, however, men who
have big duties and big minds like
Chancellor Burwash. 'Ihe doing ol
such little tilings, which did uul nave
to be done, wus, by the way, one ol
| tlm characteristics ol Gold win Smith
which made him deeply respected eveu
: hy those iu disagreement witli lu*
views.
Homo newspaper workers havu occasion to call up many prominent men
j by telephone irom time to time, aud
1 in this way tbey havu experiences
i which cause them to modify their
judgment of certain characters, al-
lhoiie,h well enough known perhaps in
1 a mure personal sense. Call up Chun-
1 eel lor Burwush any tune and ask his
; view uu nny subject, aud you wlH not
; only get a view worth while, hut
promptly and wilh distinguished courtesy-even io an unk'nown. bothersome
person. An.l the chancellor's voice is
so young and fresh you would not
believe him to be past thc "alloted
1 span."
i The courtesy of Dr. Burwash helps
, you to understand how, in all cou-
diets id theological opinion, he calm-
' ly holds his way and yet escapes tin-
] kindly criticism. Other men may he
a* absolutely sincere and yet mil-
understood. But the chancellor can
; no more lie misunderstood than the
shining sun. The influence which
, his character ami attitude have had
I on Victoria students would alone
murk him as a towering figure, but
ids influence has gone Out Tor many
years in many directions.
Chancellor Burwash was horn in
: Argenteufl, Qu>bec, of United Empire
Loyalist stock. With a broad e-iuca
\ tion on a broad foundation of virtuous,
1 virile manhood, he entered the Methi-
dist ministry in Ontario in 1SG0. lid
became a professor et Victoria sn
years luter, and was appointed preif*
dent and chancellor iu isn He is the
author of a number of theolngic-tl
works, also of "The Life and Times of
Egerton Ryerson" and "Development
of the University of Toronto as a provincial institution/' As preacher.
, teacher, writer, and administrator, he
hus shown high ability. But his ability, great ai it is, is as nothing to hii

THE SCOTTISH'DRAGOONS.
Eastern Townships Regiment Ranks
High In Canadian Cavalry Corps.
The I3tlt Scottish .Light Dragoons
Is u cavalry regiment from the Eastern Townships in tie Prjvince of
Quebec. The regimett, although organized only in 1903, has attained such
a degree of efficiency that it ia to-day
looked upon as one of the best cavalry regiments in Canada. Last year
it won the Turner Efficiency Shield
for being the best 'regiment ia the
Province of Quebec, 'and at the camp
which just closed at tVarnham it again
won the shield., •*
This regiment wh-n organized tn
1903 took the place ol the old 70th
Infantry, which previously had been
recruited Irom the Eastern Townships, lt consisted at fir-t of five
squadrons, "A" being located at Stan-
stead, "B" at Knowlton, "C" at Waterloo, "D" nt Stanbridgo East and
"I'." at Cowunsville. Two years ago_
when the -Hitli Stanstend Light Horse
was organized "A" Squadron was
transfererd to the new regiment, and
"I," Squadron changed to "A." The
regiment was organlted during Lord
Duudouald's regime In 1003. The
lirst commander ol the regiment was
Col. Charles A. Smart, who was succeeded by Col. D. M. Stewart, and
he in turn hv the present command
er, Col. li. il. Morrill. The present
squadron commanders arc: "A," Mai
li. 11 Baker, who is senior squtidrun
commander and will likely succeed
Col. Morrill aa commander of tho regiment; "B," Ma). Miltiinore; "C."
Mai. II, Slowart, and "D," MaJ, Bus-
sell.
The change from au infantry to a
cavalry regiment has proved very
popular among tbe young men of the
Eastern Townships. There is now no
di tli unity about securing enough
uieu to keep up tho strength tif tin.1
cavalry regiment, whereas there had
been considerable dill.culty iu obtaining sufficient to nil tin* ranks of
the infantry. Tito fact that the regiment has won the Turner Efficiency
Shield two years iu succession is in
itself a very good guarantee ol its
standing among the other regiments
in tin- province.
Christening Midland.
At the extreme southeast, end of
j Georgian Hay is tne inlet marked on
the Bayfield chart "Mutidy's Bay,"
now better known a* "Midland Bay,"
It is the exact shape of a horseshoe,
aud the waters are deep enough, even
at thu shore, to permit the old sailing ships to lock their spars in the
branches ol the trees. The buy is
without ruck or shoal, and is by long
odds the best harbor on fresh water.
Thirty-five years ago the laud along
the waters ol the buy was an unbroken
wilderness. To the south, about half
a mile from the water, there were oue
or two farms, the merest clearances In
the woods, which had been cut out
by one or two settlers who were half
farmer and half trapper.
The location ia uu ideal one for a
town. There is enough r.at laud close
to the water for business situs and
factories, while as you go further back
the land rises in terraces so that the
residents can have an uniuterupted'
view* ol a magnificent sheet of water

THE POLL TAX
The day laborer with a family

in natural resource*, from whieh a
large pari of thc expenses of government are secured. That the \n»>r
man should hnve to pay $'.\ a year

which it is paid, and he gets few

without some of Iho necessaries of
life, lt is only the man who ha:

years who ran thoroughly appreciate whal the tax means,
Many nf ua hud to live on or jmt-
hups less than the sum above
mentioned, Imt thai was ilm-ing
(he time when commodities wore
comparatively cheap. Now they
are very dear, and even those with
a much larger salary liml it ilihVnlt
to make both etuis meet. Take tho
head tax of nil together and let
those who ran afford to do so pay
the taxes. The |MHir man pays

Such a lot depends ou what a mun

along wheu they have got u lot uf

and a home and a bunch of kids, some
when they are able to pick pockets
und foot the cuppers Getting along
nnd why you do or why ymi don't depends a good dent on win-re you want

"And you. Jlmsy? she questioned,
"nuve you been getting along?"
"Oh, yes. I guess so. I ain't got a
whole lot to kick about! perhaps a lit
tie less, maybe a little more, than Joe.
But the great idea is nut to get sore.
Joe's nil right Maybe he's just being
prepared for a betVr living, When It
comes he'll appreciate It more."
"Somehow I don't seem to understand him at I used to," she confessed
"There's been a change that worries
mi*—that worries me greatly."
Three sharp rings of ihe bell put an
end to further conversation, and sbe
rose, disappointed, and pushed tbe button.
"That's mother's ring." she said.
"Please help me to bring some chairs
from the parlor. We can't go there because everything's covered up and hi

I shouldn't wonder if Captain Williams were witti them He takes

farmer was surprised, however, on arriving at ibe bos ottice to be met wltb
a demand for U shillings tor tbe two
tickets. Tbe extra Blxpenco per seat,
It wus explained, wns for booking.
Then he was culled upon to pay six-
pence for a prugrnm, nud tbe female
attendant who ahowed him to the
Beats also asked fur sixpence, In addition to wblcb thero was u shilling to
be paid for bats and coats being isken
care of In spite of bis protest thst
they could luko cure of them themselves. A footstool was brought for
bts wife and was accepted without
suspicion that It would be charged for.
: but the attendant who brought It de- ;
' manded another sixpence, nud dually
! opera glusses were timided to tbem
and payment of another sixpence re- ]
[ quested. Then the fanner went In

In puns of Central Africa the overage
of thunderous days rises to the astou

Yet there nre curious exceptions. In
i Java and Sumatra, both Intensely hot

fifty.
! Tbe (.old coast of Africa bns only
sixty a yeur. which Is less tban occur '
i In Florida, though the latter country
Is outside (he tropica.
i In Jamaica there Is a thunderstorm
every day during thc rainy season.
' which lusts for tlve mnntba. These
storms almost -ihvays occur between

Perhaps the must astonishing fart
wltb regard to Ihuudersiorms Is thut
tte island of Mauritius, which Is only

"You know I really didn't mean to pry
Into your nfftilra," he said apologetically, "it's nn her n natural question for
oue tourist io ask another."
"Surely; no harm dune," returned
Hnrpeth ipilekly "Uow about yourself-ymi going In slop over''"
It wns Garland's turn to show embarrassment 'lite ipik-k look of Interrogation he Mashed at Ills companion
was met by Uitrpeth's expression of
languid itnlliTi'H'iice. It was quite
plain Hint Hnrpeth had asked theques*
tlou merely to make eonvcrsntlon. not
that he eared a rap about ihe matter.
".Maybe I'll atop over to seo the city."

Iu tbe crowd Garlund and Hurpetb

It was an hour afler midnight when
be left the hotel nnd made bis way
along the bund to where a flight of
stone steps ted down lo tbe river.
Here were several sampans moored to
tbe landing, and tbe coolies immediately fell to tlghllug for bis patronage.
Oe settled the mutter by stepping Into
one of tbe little boats, nnd. being
pounced upon by Its delighted owner,
be was soon paddled out Into the
stream, which glistened lo tho moonlight like molten silver.

A GALLANT GENERAL.
How a Gunnor'B Life Was Saved at
ths Royal Review In Dublin
During the progress of the Royal
review ot the troops iu the Iri-.li command, ut Phoenix Park, Dublin, recently, there was a thrilling incident,
which, but Ior the heroic act ot a
general officer might have resulted iu
.ne death of an artilleryman. The

of dust raised by the artillery, the

The Gold Penny.
The most valuable penny eVcr coin*
ed in Great Britain was tbe gold
penny of Henry 111. Un Augu.it Id,
lit!?, u writ dated ut Chester wus is-
sued, commanding the Mayor of London to proclaim in thut city thut the
"gold penny which the king hud
caused to be made should be Immediately current there and elsewhere
witnln the realm of England, and all,
transactions uf buying and selling, at,
the rate of twenty pennies a sterling1
(i.e. twenty silver pennies) lor every
gold one."
Ibe time, however, wus by no ui'-ana
favorable for the issue of the pieces
of a denomination so much higher
than hud previously been known. Accordingly, the city of London petitioned against these coins, and the
King issued a proclamation that no
one should be obliged to take them.
The coins, nevertheless continued t..
be current, uml in 1205 their value wus
raised from twenty to twenty-four
pence; probably equivalent in pur-
cnusing power to two pounds sterling
of to-day.
It is unlikely that any great uuin
b.-r ol these coins ever was struck, lt
H probable that, by reason of tlieir
high value, they would soon be melted down, for they were ol pure gold
witiiout alloy of any kind. The collectors of to-day know of only three
or four specimens. One of thesj was
sold tor mote tuuti s-jw), anotuer for

Wagnerian selection.
"The price wc will not haggle over."
ssld Hie visitor, "but Instead of thnt
grand opera selection I want you to
render one of tbe light nud populai
ditties of the day!"
"For the Wugmrlnn song. $300; for
the popular ditty, $'M0," was tbe Arm
reply.
"Itul. mndnme." eiiio*-tulntPd thc society lender, "your classical song is
much more eim-tlng on your power-;,
so why should you charge more for
the llghfer and easier song':"
"Ah," replied Die Independent one.
"the harder song is all fun to me; tbe
easier mu- nil work!"
