Hart & Co., ri'iMirl nn increasing demand for Wesley Scouts Return From Camp. The Wesley Troop of Boy Scouts returned on Monday from camp at Cultus Lake, where eleven days were silent under canvas anil amidst tho beaulios of the lake and woodland for which tiiis. popular resort is noted. Tho Senilis found it difficult to follow lhe regulation pro- grain for Scout work, the preparation of tho meals requiring considerable of tllO time. The daily routine started at 7 a.m., with a plunge in the lake which most of tho boys took advantage of. Flag saluting and prayers proceeded preparation of-the breakfast. Tracking, treasure hunting or signaling occupied the time until noon hour. The afternoons were sjient in swiiuing, a very peasant exercise, and althlctic games of various kinds followed by the camp lire assembly at which stories, jokes etc., wbiled away tbe time until 9 or 9.30 when the Scouts indulged in rest, repose and quit dreams until the morning call awakened them to a realization of the joys of camp life, and thus the days of the annual camp rolled by all too soon for the members and officers of the Troop. There were no accidents, tbe weather was fair and there was no sickness, except a trace of home sickness now and again. The boys are grateful to Mr. Eckert for conveying them to camp and to Mr. Evans for tranport ation home, also for the thoughtful- ness of many in seuding'or bringing supplies for the needs of the camp. Thc camp was in charge of Scoutmaster W. Abbott and Asst. Scoutmaster C. A.

Wc have recently opened an office in room 12 in the Hnrt Block,Chilliwaek, nnd wc would lie glad to get iu touch with nny of thc land-owners in thc district who might be thinking of under-draining their land.

As would be expected, under such auspices, the picnic menu was a mosl appetising one, and was partaken of with a relish that would satisfy the most sensitive housewife. Mr. and Mrs. Morden have a delightful spot for such an event and won the plaudits of all in their Jrole as host and hostess. Rain terminated the program rather abruptly and while most of the picnicers got wet before reaching home, they all vote the event one of the most pleasant of its kind this season.

Watt & Company CHAPTER XIX.—Continued Yr OU will go tu Nice fur :i while," said Steele, firmly, He had fallen lnio a position »!' arranging their affaire, Mrs. Horton, distressed in Duska's distress, found herself helpless to net except upon his direction, The girl nodded, apathetically. '•It doesn't matter," she said. Then, she looked up again, "Uut I want yen to slay. I wnnt you to <Im everything you can for both of them.*' She paused, and her next words were spoken with an effort: "And I d*n't want I don't wnnt yuu tu speak of mo. i don't want you to try to remind him." "He will ciuostlon im." demurred Steele, Duska's head wuh ralsod with a little gesture ut pride, "1 am not afraid," sho snld, "that he will ask you anything he should not— anything thai he ims not the right to CHAPTER XX, When he turned back, a day later. from tfie turmoil of the station, frum the strenuous labor of weighing trunks, locating the compartment ln the train. subsidizing the guards, and, hardest uf all, saying good-bye to Duska with n seeming ur normal cheerfulness, Steele found himself Irritably out of measure with the quick-step of Paris. Mrs, Hurtun aud the girl were on their way to the Riviera, lie was left behind to watch results; almost, it seemed to him, to sit by and observe the postmortem on every hope In the lives of three people, Nice should sttll be quiet. The tidal wave of "trippers" would not for :i little while sweep over Its rose-covered slopes and white beaches and dazzling esplanades, and the place wuuld afford the girl at least every soothing Influence that nature could offer. That would not be much, but it wuuld be something. As for himself, he felt the Isolation of Paris. On a desert, a man may become lonely; in deep forests nnd on high mountains, he may come to know and hate his own soul in solitude, but the last note of aloofness, of utter exile, is that which comes lo him who looks vainly for one face in a sea of other faces, whose small cosmos lies in unwept and unnoticed ruin in the midst of a giant city that moves along its Indifferent way to tho time of dance- music. In the hotel, there was lhe chatter uf tuurists. His own tongue was prattled by men and women whoso lives seemed to revolve around the shops of the Rue de la i'aix, or whose literature was the information of the guide-books, lie felt that everyone was invading his somborness of mood with trivialities, until, in revulsion against the whole stage-setting of things, he had himself and his luggage transported to the Hotel Voltaire, where the life about him was the simpler life of the loss pretentious quais of the Heine. After his dejeuner, he sat for a time attempting to readjust his ideas. lie had told Saxon that he would never again speak of love to Duska. Now, he realized how barren of hope it would ever be fur him tu renew his plea. She had bankrupted his heart. He had burled hts own hopes, and nu one except himself had known at what cost to himself. He had taken his place in the niche dedicated to closest friend, just outside the inner shrine reserved for the one who could penetrate that far. Now, he was lu a greater distress. Now, he wanted only her happiness, and as he had never wanted it before. Now, he realized that lhe only suurce through which this could cume was the suurce that seemed hopelessly clogged. There was no doubt uf his sincerity. Even his own intimate questioning acquitted him uf self-consideration. COUld he at that moment have had one wish fulfilled by some magic agency of miracle, that wish would have been that he might lead Robert Saxon, as Robert Saxon had heen, to Dusku, with nil his memory and love intact, and free from any Incumbrance that might divide litem. That would have been the gift of all gifls, and Ihe only gift that would drive; the look uf heart-hunger and despair from Iht eyes. Steele was restless, and. biking up his hat, he strolled out along the quay, and turned at last Into ihe Boulevard St. Michel, stretching off In n broad vlstft of cafe-lined sidewalks. The life of the "Boule Mich" held no attraction for blm. In Ids earlier days, he had known II from the river to the Boulevard Moutparnnsse. Ho knew its tributary streets, Its lodgings, Its schools, and the life which the spirit of Uie modern is so rapidly revolutionising from Bohemia's shabby capital to a conventionalized district, None ..r these things held for him Die piquant challenge <»r novelty. As he passed a certain cafe, which io- had once known ns the informal elub uf the Marston cult, he realised that hen- the hilarity was more pronounced than elsewhere. The bOUlO- Vard itself was for squares a thread, stringing cafes like beads In a necklace. Bach hnd Its crowd of revelers; Its boisterous throng uf frowsy, volvet- jarketcd. long-hai rod studonts; Us laughing models; Its inevitable brooding and despondent abslntheurs sitting apart in isolated melancholy. Yet, hero at the "Chat Noir," the chorus was noisier. Although the evening was chill. Ihe sidewalk tables were by no metins descried. The Parisian proves his patriotism by his adherence to the out-door table, even If he musl turn up his Collar, nnd shiver as he sips his wine. Listlessly, Steele turned Into the place, it was su crowded this evening that for a lime It looked as though he would have difficulty in finding a sent. Al last, n waiter led him to a corner where, dropping to the seat nlong the wnll, be ordered his wine, nnd sat gloomily looking un. The place was unchanged. There were still lhe habitues quarreling over their warring tenets of the brush; men .drawn to the centre of painting as mot lis are drawn lo a candle; men of all nationalities ami sorts, alike only in ihe general quality of their unkempt grolosquerle. There was music of d son; a plaintive chord long-drawn from the violin occasionally made its sweet wall heard above the bubo! and through the reeking smoke of the room, Evidently, it was some oceaslon beyond the ordinary, and Steele, leaning over to the student nearest him, Inquired in French: "Is there some celebration?" The stranger wns a short man, with hair that fell low on his neck and greased his collar. He had a double- pointed beard and deep-set black oyos, which he kept fixed un his absinthe as it dripped drop by drop frum the nickeled device attached tu his frappe glass. At the question, lie looked up, astonished, "Bul is il possible monsieur does not know'.' We are all brothers here— brothers in lhe worship uf the beautiiul: Hoes nui monsieur know?" Steele did not knuw, and he told the stranger so without persiflage. •'It is that the great .Marston has returned!" proclaimed ihe student, in a loud voice. "It is that the master bns come back to us—lo Paris!" The sound of his voice bad brought others aboul lhe table. "Does monsieur know that tbe Seine Hows".'" demanded a pearly pretty model, raising her glass and flashing frum her dark eyes a challenging glance uf ridicule. Steele did not object to the good- humored bailing, but be looked about him, and was thankful that the girl on her way tu Nice could nut look in on this enthusiasm over tlie painter's home-coming; could nul see lu what Marston was returning; whal character of devotees were pledging the promotion uf the lirst disciple to the place of the worshiped master. Some half-drunken student, his hand upon the shoulder of a model, lifted a lilting glass, and shouted thickly, "Vive Tart! Vive Marston!" The crowd luok up the shout, and there was much clinking of glass. Steele, with a feeling of deep disgust, rose to go. Tbe other quais of the Seine were better after all. Rut, as he reached for his hat, he felt a hand on his shoulder, and, turning, recognized, with a glow of welcome, the face uf M. Herve. Like himself, M. Herve seemed out of his element, or wuuld have seemed so had he also not bad, like Steele, thai adaptability which makes some men tit into the picture wherever they may tlnd themselves. Thc two shook hnnds, and dropped back on the cushions of lhe wall seat. "I have heard the story." the Frenchman assured Steele. "Monsieur mny spare himself the pain of repeating it. It is a miracle!" Steele was looking intu his glass. "It is a must Unhappy miracle," he replied. "Rut, mon dleu!" M. Herve. looked across the table, tapping the Kentuck- ian's sleeve wilh his outstretched lingers. "It makes one think, mon ami - It makes one think!" Ills vis-a-vis only nodded, and Herve went on: "It brings home lo one tbe indestructibility of the true genius—the unquenchable tire of it! Destiny plays a strange game. She has here taken a man, and juggled wilh his life; battered his identity to unrecognizable fragments; set a seal on his past. Yet his genius she could not efface. That burned through to the light—sounded on insistently through the confusion of wreck, even ns that violin sounds through this hell or noises and disorder —the great unslienced chord! The man thinks he copies another. Not su --ho Is merely groping to And himself. Never hnve I thought so deeply as since 1 have heard this story." Fur a time, Steele did not reply. To him, the personal element drowned the purely academic interest of the psychological phase In this tragedy. Suddenly, a new element of surprise struck him, and he leaned across the table, his voice full of questioning. "Rut you," he demanded, "you had studied under Marston. Vou knew hhn, and yet. when you saw Saxon, you had no recognition." M. Herve nodded his head wilh grave assent. "That was my first incredulous thought when I heard of this miracle." he admitted; "yet, only for a moment. After all. that was Inevitable. They were different. Now. bearded, ill, depleted, 1 fancy he may oneo more look tbe man I knew—that man whose hair was a mane, and whose morbid timidity gave to bis eyes a haunted and uncertain lire. When I snw Snxon It is (rue 1 saw a man wounded and unconscious; Ids face covered wllh blood. nnd Hn- dirt of ibe street, yet he wns. even s.i. Ibe mnn of splendid physique iln- new man remade by the immensity of your western prairies - having acquired all that Hie man I had known lacked. He was transformed, In that, his Destiny wns kind -she gavo It not only to bis body, but to his brush. He wns before n deml-god of the palette. Now, he is the god." "Do you chance to know," nsked Steele suddenly, "how bis hand was pierced?" "Have you uot heard that story?" the Frenchman asked. "I am regrettably responsible for that. We sought to make him build the physical mnn. I persuaded him to fence, though be did It badly and without enthusiasm. Dne evening, we were toying with sharpened foils. Partly by his enre- lessness and partly by my own, the blade went through his palm. For a long p.-rind. be could not paint," Frederick Marston was not at onre removed from the lodgings In the Rue St. Jacques. Absolute rest was what he most required. When he awoke again, unless ho nwoke refreshed by sullicient rest, Dr, Cornish held out no hope, The slraln upon enfeebled body nnd brain bad been great, and fnr dnys le- remained delirious or unconscious. Dr. ''ornlsh was like adamnnt In his determination that he should be left undisturbed for a week or mure. Meanwhile, the episode hud unexpected results. The physician who had < ie to Parts fleeing from a government be had failed lo overturn, wbu had taken an emergency case because there, was no one else at hand, found himself suddenly heralded by the Purls press as "that distinguished specialist, Dr. Cornish, who is effecting a miraculous recovery for the greatest of painters," During these days, Steele was con- Btantly ut the lodgings, and wilh him, sharing his anxiety, wns M. Herve There were muny callers to Inquire— painters and students of the neighborhood, nnd the greater celebrities from lhe more distinguished schools. Rnl no one was more constantly in attendance than Alfred St. John. He divided his time between the bedside of his daughter nnd tlie lodgings where Marston lay. Tbe talk that tilled the Latin Quarter, and furiously excited lhe studio on tbe floor below, was studiously kept from ihe girl confined to her couch upstairs. One duy while St. John was In the Rue SI. Jacques, pacing the small cour with Steele and Herve, Jean Hautecoeur came in hurriedly. Ills manner wns that of anxious embarrassment, and for a moment be paused, seeking words. SI. John's face turned while wllh a divination uf bts tidings. "Dues sbe need me?" he asked, almost breathlessly. Ilniiteeoeur nodded, nnd SI. John turned toward lhe dour. Steele went with him, and, us Ihey climbed lhe steep sluirs, the old man leaned heavily un his support, The Kentucklan waited in SI. John's room mosl tif lhat night. In the nexl apartment were the girl, her father and tbe physician. A little before dawn, the old man came out. Hts step was almost tottering, and he seemed lo have aged a decade since In- entered the door of the sick-room. "My daughter is dead," he said very simply, as his guest paused at the threshold, "1 am leaving Paris. My peoplo except for me huve borne a good name. I wanted to ask you to save that name from exposure. I wanted to bury with my daughter everything that might shadow her memory. For myself, nothing matters." Steele took the hand the Englishman held tremblingly outstretched. "Is there anything else I can do?" he asked. St. John shook bis head. "That will be quite all," he answered. Sueh things as had lo be done, however, Steele did. and two days later, when Alfred St. John took the train for Calais and the Channel, it was with assurances that, while they could not at tbls time cheer him, at least fortified him against all fear of need. It was a week later that Cornish sent for the Kentucklan, who wns waiting in ihe court. "I think you can see him now." said the physician briefly, "and 1 think you will see a man whu has no gaps in his memory." Steele went wtth some misgiving to tho sickroom. He found Marston looking at him with eyes as clear and lucid as his own. As he came up. the other extended a hand with a trembllm*; gesture of extreme weakness. Steele clasped it In silence. For a time, neither spoke. While Steele waited, the other's face became drawn. He wns evidently struggling with himself in desperate distress. There was something to be said whieh Marston found it bitterly ditllcuit to say. At last, he Spoke slowly, forcing his words and bidding his features In masklike rigidity of control. "I remember lt all now. George," He hesitated as his friend nodded; then, with a drawing of bis brows and a tremendous effort, he added, huskily: "And '1 must go to my wife." Steele hesitated before answering. "You can't do that, Rub," he said, gently. "I wns near her as long as could be. I think she Is entirely happy now." The man In lhe bed looked up. His eyes read the eyes of the other. If there was In his pulse a leaping sense of release, he gave It no expression. "Dead?" he whispered. Steele nodded. For a time. Marston gazed up at the ceiling with a fixed stare. Then, his face clouded with black self-reproach. "If I could blot out thut Injury from memory! Ood knows I meant ii as kindness." "There is time enough to forget." said Steele. II was some dnys later thai Mnrston went with Steele to the Hotel Voltaire. Tliere was much to be explained and done. He learned fur the first time the details of the expedition Steele had made to South America, and then to Europe; ut the matter of the pictures and St. John's connection wilh Ihem. nnd of the mystifying circumstances of the name registered at the Eyseel Palace Hotel. That incident they never fathomed. Sl. John bad buried his daughter tn the Clmetler Montmartre. After the tlrst mention of the matter on his recovery lo cm seiousness, Marston had not again alluded to bis former wife, until he wns able to go to the spot, |nnd [dace a small tribute on her grave. i Standing there, somewhat awestruck, his face herame deeply grave, and, : looking up at his friend, he spoke wllh i deep agitation! "There Is one part of my life tbat Was a tremendous mistake. I sought to act wtth regard for a misconceived duly nnd kindness, nnd I only Inllleted Infinite pain. I want you to know, and I tell you hero at a spot that Is to tne very j solemn, thnt I never abandoned her. j When I left for America, It was at her command. It was* with the avowal that 1 should remain subject tn her re- cull as long as we both lived. I should hav- i-cpi my word. H's not a thing that I enn talk of again. You know nil that has happened since, but for once I must toll you." Sleelo felt that nothing he eould say would make tbe recital easier, und he merely inclined his head. ■I shall have her removed to Bng- mad. if St. John wishes It," Marston said. "Ond knows I'd like to have the account show some offsetting of the debit." As they left the gates for the omnibus, Marston added: ■ If Sl. John will continue to act as my agent, he can manage It from the uther side of the Channel. I shall not be often in Paris." Later, lie turned suddenly to the ICcniiieldan, with a half-smile. "We swindled St. John," he exclaimed. "We. bought back the pietures at Saxon prices." His voice became unusually soft. "And Frederick Marston can never paint another so good as the portrait, We must set that right, Do you know—" the man laughed sheep- siiiiy—"it's rather disconcerting to find lhat ono has spent seven years In self- worship?" Sleeie smiled with relief at the change of the subject. •'Is that the sensation of being deified?" he demanded. "Does one simply feci that Olympus is drawn down to sea level?" Shortly after, Marslun sent a brief uuie tu Duska. "I shall suy little," he wrote. "1 can't be sure you will give me a hearing, but also 1 can not go until I have begged it. : can nul bear that any report shall reach you until I have myself reported. My only comfort is that I concealed notnlng thnt I had the knowledge to lell you. Tliere is |)0W Ilu blank lu my life, and yet il is nil blank, nnd must remain blank unless I can cume lu yuu. 1 um free tu speak, und, if yuu give It to me. nu une else can deny me the right to speak. All (hat I said on thnl nighl when a cortain garden was bat bed in ihi- moon Is more true now than then, and now I speak with full knowledge. Can ymi forgive everything?" And lhe girl rending the lottor lei II drop in her lap, find looked out through ber window across lhe dazzling whiteness uf the Promenade dos Anglais to the purple Mediterranean, Once more, her eyes lighted from deep cobalt to violet. "Lul tliere wus nothing to forgive," she softly told tbe sea. CHAPTER XXI. When, u month later, Frederick Marston went tu the hotel on the Promenade "les Anglais at Nice, it was a much Improved and rejuvennted man as compared with the wasted creature wiio had opened the closed door of tlie "academy" tn the Quartler Latin, and had dropped the key on the flour. Although still a trifle gaunt, he was mucli the same person who. almost a year before, had clung to the pickets of Churchill Downs, and halted in his view of a two-year-old finish. Just as the raw air of the north had given place to the wooing softness of the Riviera, and the wet blankets of haze over tho gardens of the Tuileries to the golden sunlight of the tlower- deeked south, so he had come again out of winter Into spring, and the final result uf his life's equation was the man that had been Saxon, untouched by the old Marston. Duska's stay at Nice had been begun in apathy. About her were all the Influences of beauty and roses and soft breezes, but it was not until sbe had read this Ilrst letter from Marston lhat these things meant anything to her. Then, suddenly, she had awakened to a sense of its delight. She knew that he would not come at once, and she felt that this was best. She wanted him to come buck to her when be could cume as the man who had been In her life, and, since she knew he was coming, she could wait. Her eyes had become as brightly blue as the Mediterranean mlrrurlng the sky, and her cheeks had again taken un their kinship to the roses of the Riviera. Once more, she was one with the nature of this favored spot, a country thut some magical realist seems to hove torn bodily from the enchanted Isles of imnglnation, and transplanted in the world of Pact. .Now, she became eager tn see everything, and so tt happened thai, when Marston, who had not notified her of the day of his arrival, reached her hotel, it was tu find that she and her aunt had motored over to Monte Carlo, by the upper Cornlehe Road, that show-drive of the world which climbs along the heights with the sen below and the sky. it would seem, nol far above. The man turned out again to the Promenade des Angiitis. The sun was shining on Its whiteness, and it seemed that the city was a huge structure of solid marble, set between the sea and tbe color-spotted slopes of tho villa- clad hills. Marston was highly buoyant as he made his way to the garage where he could secure a ear to give chase. He even paused with boyish and delighted Interest tn gaze Into the glittering shop Windows nf the Promenade and the Avenue Felix Faun-, where were temptingly displayed profound booklets guaranteeing the purchaser a sure system for conquering the chances uf roulette "on a capital of ._.i. playing red nr black, manque or passe, pair nr Impair, and compiled by one with four yeurs of experience." He had soon negotiated for a ear, and had gained the friendship of the chauffeur, who grinned happily and with contentment when he learned that monsieur's object was speed. Ahead of him stretched nine mites of perfect macadam, with enough beauty to All tho eye and heart with joy for every mile, and nt the end nf lho Journey— unless he could happily overtake lier sooner—was Duska. The car sped up between the villus, up to the white ribbon nf road where the ships, lying at anchor In the purpled waler benenlh, were white toys im lunger tban pencils, whore towns wero only patches of roof tiles, and mountainsides mere rumpled blankets of greon and color; whore the road- houses woro delights of picturesque rusticity nnd flower-covered walls. Thanks to a punctured tire, Marston found a large dust-couted car stnndlng nt the roadside when he had covered only half of the journey, lt wns drawn up near a road-house that sat hnek of a rough stone wall, anl was aban doned save for the chauffeur, who labored over his task of repair. But Marston stopped and ran up the stone stairs to the small terrace, where, be- tween rose hushes that crowded the time-stained facade of the modest car- avansery, were set two or three small tables under a trellis; and, ut one uf the taldes, lie recognized Mrs. Horton. Mrs. Horton rose with a little gasp of delight to welcome him, and recognized how his eyes were ranging in search for an even more important personage while be greeted her. Off beyond tlio road, with iis low guarding wall of stone, thc mountainside fell away precipitously to thc sea, stretching out below in a limitless expanse of the bluest blue that our' eyes enn endure. The slopes were thickly wooded. "We blew out a tire," explained Mrs. Horton, "and Duska is exploring somewhere over the wall there. I was content to sit here and wait—but you are younger," she added with a smile. "I won't keep you here." From inside the tavern came the tinkle of guitars, from everywhere in the clear crystalline air bung the perfume of roses. Marston, with quick apologies, hastened across the road, vaulted the wall, and began his search, ll was a brief one, for, turning Into a clearing, he saw her below him on a ledge. She stood as straight aud slim and gracefully erect as the lancollke young trees. He made his wuy swiftly duwn the Blope, anil she had not turned nor heard bis npirouch. lie went straight to her. and look her in Ids arms, The girl wheeled wil h u llltle cry of recognition und dollghti then, nfter n moment, she hold him off al arms' length, and looked al him. Her eyes were deep, and needed no wolds. About Ihem was all the world ami all lllc boauty »r u. Finally, she Inughed- wllh Ilie old, huppy laugh. "Onco," she snld very slowly, "you quoted poetry to nn- a verse about Uie young queen's crowning. Do you romombor?" lh- noddnd, "Lul thai doesn't apply uuw," he assured her. "You are going tn crown me wiih un undeserved nml unspeakable crown." "Quote it to me now," she commanded, wllh reinstated autocracy, For a momenl, lbc man looked Into her face as the siiii struck down on lis delicate color, under the softness of hat ami filmy automobile veil; then, clasping her very close, he whispered the lines: "Beautful, bold and browned. Bright-eyed nut of the battle. The voting queen rode to be crowned." "Do you remember some other lines in the same verse?" she questioned, In a voice that made his throbbing pulses bound faster; but, before he could answer, she went on: " 'Then the young queen answered swift. "We hold It crown of our crowning, to take our crown for a gift. They turned together, and started tq) the slope. The End. FUN AND THE POOR FUND There are in Paris four theatres—the Comedie-Fruncalse. Odeon, the Opera, and Opera Comlque—which receive subventions from tbe Government, and forty regulnr theatres, among which are included the Chntelet, Gymnase, Gaite and Palais-Royal, which receive no subvention. There are besides twelve large cinematograph theatres, thirty-eight cafe concerts, eight music halls, ten skating rinks, velodromes and circuses, among which are Included the Magic City and Luna Park, both originally American enterprises; six permanent balls nr dancing places, Including the Ral Tabarin, RulIIer, and Moulin Rouge; and Anally three classical concerts, viz.. the concert Lamotir- eaux, Colonne, and the Conservatoire; In all one hundred and twenty-one regular places of amusement. Front the reporl of the municipal administration for 1911 it appears that the tola! receipts collected during that year by these various groups of theatres, etc., were as follows: The four subventloned theatres. $1.83!U:..S; forty theatres nf the Gaite class, $4.r,3S.C59; cinematographs, $541,007; museums and expositions, $123,361; cafe concerts, $1,330,752; music halls, $1,366,- 267; skating rinks, circuses, etc.. 1840.- 2S7; balls, $180,714; arttsltc concerts. $111.37:1; varlutis other concerts, $457- 221; total $11,841,169. For the support of the poor—droits des pauvres—the municipality collects a uniform tax of 10 per cent, of the gross receipts of regular theatres and daily concerts, a per cent, of tlio receipts from casual concerts given by artists or musical associations, and 25 per cent, nf the receipts of balls, races and certain oilier amusements. MEMORIAL MEETING IN HONOR OF ISIDOR AND IDA STRAUS Mnynr Gay nor, Bishop Thomas P. Gallor of the t'nlversity of the South. Jacob II. Sehlff, Andrew Carnegie, and others participated in the great memorial meeting at Carnegie Hull In New York. Sunday, Muy 12th, In honor nf [sldor Straus nnd itls wife, Mrs. Ida Strnus, The audience was completely representative of America's best citizens and all barriers nf race, nationality, and religion were swept away. Every profession, lhe law, medicine, the ministry, journalism, finance, were represented. Tbo children of the two whose death was being mourned wero present. They are Jesse, Percy, and Herbert, and Mrs. Hess and Mrs. Well. Oscar Strnus nnd his family had a box and all tho members of the Nathan Strnus family who aro In this country were present. Miss Julia Rlchmnn, an Intimate friend of Mrs. Straus, made muny weep ns she told of Innumerable little Incidents of that noble woman's netlvo life, bow kindness was always ber watchword aud how sho seemed never to have a moment to herself In her exceeding solicitude for tho welfare of others. Mayor Gaynor said there was Just a tinge of regret that the body of Mr. Straus had beon recovered while that nf his helnved wife lies In Its oteninl sleep In the great deep. It wns pathetic after hor heroic sacrifice, he snld, that oven this separation hnd como about, but it hnd been so ordered by fate, and all would be content, He said that never lived there a more just man, one with more good in Ids heart, one whu did more in a common-sense way for lhe advancement of the human race, an advancement always slow but certain. Mr. Carnegie said that the memory of these two heroic figures refusing to be parted In death will remain for future generations as a most precious legacy to make men proud of the human race. Bishop •Gallor said: "With his arms about the wife of his youth, faithful to the ideals that made death preferable to dishonor, wllh high courage and pure manhood, and a clear conscience, Mr. Straus faced God and went calmly down Into the deep. Eternal glory to him, Imperishable Is his renown, epic is tho story of his glorious death." DISCIPLINE MUST BE MAINTAINED No, young mnn, don't do it. Adopt a firm attitude.

The tower of flfty-five stories Is our unconscious attempt to escape from the Bordidness of the marketplace of politics. The New Zealander will think of ids morning newspapers and then glance upward with longing nnd envy at the men six hundred feet above the curb who are engaged In rearing columns that will carry them still farther away from Hie crowd. For these happy men there are no mean struggles of mean politicians, no furious battling over cheap motives, no flaming moral outbursts from bosses, no muddy torrents of vituperation, no snarling and biting, no shrieking in public, places nnd eonfnbulntlng in corners. Six hundred feet above the ground these things are reduced to their proper proportions. THE TRAVELLER IN AFRICA Ho must remain to see the blazing torment of the sun relieved only by the torrential rush of the tropical rain, the crashing of the thunder, and the blue and flickering glare of the destructive lightning. He must endure through the long summer months the attacks of the myriads of stinging and biting insects by day, aud the even more harassing onslaughts of mosquitoes by night. Snakes ami other undesirable creatures nf all kinds Invade his bungalow; his clothes ntul his linen are continually in a slate nf dampness. He Is often down with malarial fever, with no one but his callous and ignorant native servants to attend to his wants. Racked with headache and with every bone burning with fever, he must himself select and administer his medicines, besides giving the orders for sueh nutriment as he may judge necessary, and. thuugh he treats it as a matter of course, what he suffers Is often far In excess of the recngnltlon which bis services receive. However torn by illness be may be, the work of the station must go on; interminable native disputes must be settled, and settled satisfactorily. Defaulters must be given fair trial, and the floods of contradictory and generally false statements which How from the ready lips of countless witnesses must be sifted and garnered. IN THE BORDERLAND Winn Ilie Herman emperor threatened Alsace-Lorraine with annexation to Prussia in case she refused to behave herself he nol only Insulted Alsace- Lorraine, whieh he Intended to do, hut also Insulted Prussia, which he did not intend to do. Prussia does not consider that annexation to herself is n punishment, but then so much depends upon the point of view. The .emperor had to apologize for his Indiscretion, not, of course, Ihe kind nf apology that lesser mortals make, but one of the diplomatic explanations that arc supposed to serve the sumo end. The French and Germans In the annexed provinces have not yet learned to live in concord like lillle birds In a nest, and Germany Is beginning to realize lhat she made a profound mistake when she concluded the French wnr by an arrangement that created an open wound and that kept It open. As Illustrating thc relations now existing In Alsace-Lorraine there Is a story told of an Alsatian who fell into thc Rhine and wns In danger of drowning. Crying out In French for help he was regarded by a policeman on the bank with glassy unconcern. Then he tried German, but with tho same result. As a Inst resort, and just us he was on tho point of sinking, ho shouted "Vive la France," and tho policeman at once Jumped into the water und arrested him. Murphy—So Casey has quit drinking.

Hul In point of antiquity these London discoveries are far surpassed by the Interesl Ing finds reported from Laiissel, in Hie Dordogne, Krance. An explorer bns unearthed throe statuet- ■'tes. or bns-ivliefs. thai must have been the work of men living 3,000 years before Christ. These statuettes represent a man apparently in the net of throwing a lance and some women. The figures of the women are somewhat obscured and the features are obliterated, but the hair is neatly arranged and falls over the neck In long, heavy curls. The figure of the man is a prepossessing ono, thin, strong and strongly suggestive of civilization. Close at hand was discovered a frieze supple, and all of these statuettes are of much artistic merit representing animals, including the horse and the bison. If the Fran.ce of 3,000 years ago was actually Inhabited by a people possessing any degree of civilization the fact seems to argue againsl a good many theories of evolution. If any of these long past ages possessed a civilization approximating to our own, which was subsequently overwhelmed by barbarism and perhaps by natural cataclysms, we may one day discover traces of a civilization surpassing our own, and what a shock that would bo to our complacency.

A grandson of Truxton, he was born ln the navy and his early years were passed at sea. He fought at San 1'asqual and lt was he, in company with Kit Carson, who carried to Commodore Stockton at San Diego the news of General Kearny's situation. Heale was In California at the time of tlie gold discovery and he went east with the news and with the ilrst samples of the precious metal. Bayard Taylor called him "a pioneer in the path of empire." for after his resignation from the navy he devoted himself to the exploration of the desert trails and the mountain passes that led overland lo llm Pacific, while later on he surveyed the routes nnd built Ihe wagon roods over which passed the mighty migration which created the new world beyond tho Rockies, All Ihls Is told hy Ibe author with an energy and nn accuracy Ibal leave nothing io be desired cither for its historical value or iis powers of pictures* que description, (..■ale's iirsi great adventure befell him us fi buy. He was doputod by (leiierai Kearny, boslogad at Son Pos- HUttl, lo meet lhe enemy's envoys, aud to lre.it (or an OXCltangO 0( prisoners. The incident was described by Senator Denton, who learned it t'roin Kil Carson himself! "This lad volunteered to go und hear the propositions of exchange. Great vii*- ihe alarm ai his departure, A lx-barreled revolver, In addition to the sword, per foe tiy charged and capped, was slowed under his coat. Thus equipped, and well-iuoiiiited, be sel out, protected by a Hag and followed by anxious eyes and palpitating hearts. The utile river San Bernardo wns crossed ai a plunging gallop, without a drink, though rabbi for water hoth the horse and his rider, the rider having a policy which the horse could not comprehend. Approaching a picket- guard, a young alfarez (ensign) came ut to Inquire for what purpose. The mission was made known, for Bealo spoke Spanish; and while a sergeant was sent to lhe general's tent to Inform him of the Hag. a soldier was despatched to the river for water. 'Hand it to the gentleman,' was the Castlllan command. Beale put the cup to his lips, wet them, In token of ac- knowledglng jl civility, and passed it hack; aa much as to say, 'we have water enough on that hill.' The alfarez smiled; and, while waiting the arrival of Don Andres, a courteous dialogue went on. 'How do you like the country?" inquired the alfarez. 'Delighted with it,' responded Beale. Tou occupy a good position to take a wide view." 'Very good; ono can see all round.' 'I don'l think your horses find the grass refreshing on the hill.' 'Not very refreshing, but strong.' There was, In fact, no grass on the hill, nor any shrub but tbo one called wire- wood, from the close approximation of its twigs to that attenuated preparation of iron whieh is used for making knit ling-needles, card-teeth, tlshtng- hooks, and such small notions; and upon which wood, down to Its roots, the famished horses gleaned until com- isionate humanity cut the halters, and permit led them to dash to the river and Us grassy banks, and become the steeds of the foe." Dy this time three horsemen were seen riding up. Arriving within certain distance they halted, snld Senator Benton, ns only Cullfornhinn and Mamelukes can halt, the horse, at n pull of the bridle and lever bit. thrown back upon his haunches and "motionless as tho equestrian statue of Peter the Greal": "One of tlie three advanced on foot. unbuckling his sword and Hinging it twenty feet to the right. The alfarez had departed. Seeing the action of the gentleman, Denle did the same— unbuckled his sword nnd Hung lt twenty feet to his right. The swords were then forty feet apart. But the revolver: there It stuck under his coat- unmistakable symptom of distrust or perlldy--sign of Intended or apprehended assaslnation, and outlawed by every code of honor from the Held of parley. A stolen sheep on his back would have been a Jewelled star on his breast compared to the fixed fact of that assassin revolver under his midshipman'.*, coat. Confusion filled his bosom; and for u moment his honor and shame contended for the mastery. To try and hide it, or pull it out. expose it, and fling It away, wns the question; but with the grandson of Truxton it was a brief question. High honor prevailed. The clean thing was done. Abstracted from its close concealment, tlie odious tool was bared to the light. and vehemently dashed far away—lhe generous Cnllfornlan affecting not to have seen ll. Then breathed the hoy easier and deeper." As a result of his bravery, Beale was Intrusted by Commodore Stockton with dispatches for Washington and was ordered to proceed there with Kit Carson, a journey of Immense labor nnd danger. After they reached the Gila, they found traces of Indians and Carson's experience foresaw a night attack: "When he considered that the psychological moment hnd come, from indications that wero hnythlng but enlightening to his companions, Carson met Indian strategy with tho trapper's ruse. Carson und Heale and tho olher riflemen cooked their supper rather early ln the evening, and wrapped In tbelr blankets throw themselves on tho grass, apparently to sleep, but ns soon as It was dark the men wero ordered lo rise and to march forward for something more than a mile, again to picket their animals and to arrange tholr pack-saddles so llmt they might serve as a protection from the arrows of tho Indians. At midnight the yell of the savago wns hoard and a shower of arrows fell around but wide of the mark. The attacking party had not ascertained with accuracy the changed position of the travellers, They dared not approach near enough to see, for in that case they knew the fate that awaited them from the unerring aim of Kit and his companions. After many random shots and many unearthly yells the discomfited savages fled before the approach of dawn. And this was the last serious attempt made by the "horse Indians" to prevent the bearers of dispatches from crossing their territory." There are many amusing tales told of the early days of American control In California, and many of these relate to the Hev. Walter Coltoti, who came out as chaplain on the Congress. Tliere was one in particular that lieale delighted to relate In after years: "When Commodore Stockton instituted civil government over the territory so recently wrested from the Mexicans, lhe Hev. Colton was appointed alcalde of Monterey, where his duties wore both administrative and judicial. Gambling was then tho besetting sin of the Mexican California)!, as il soon became thai of the American Invader. Tliere was also a dearth of milch cows ln Ibe community, which wus all the more severely felt beeniise In those days condensed milk and the other sub- sliiules were unknown. "tine day Iwo gamblers were brought before the clerical alcalde as was also a mngniflconl fresh cow. They were charged wilh having gambled over It, and the ownership of the animal was disputed. The Lev. Colton considered lhe story us set forth by lho Interested parlies with great interest and then* submitted Iln* following decree: " 'You, sir, lost the cow, consequently it does not belong to you.' Then, turning to the other man, he said: 'Vou, sir, have won it—you have won it liy gambling, but this is a form of transfer that the court does not recognize. ]n my opinion, therefore, the animal eschews to the court.' " in iiiG_ Lieutenant Beale was appointed by President Fillmore as general superintendent of Indian affairs for California and Nevada. Beale left Washington on April 20 to undertake his new duties, and his diaries are of remarkable interest as reflecting the prevailing conditions on the great overland route. Under date of May 22 he writes: "We had already overtaken and pass ed several large wagon and cattle trains from Texas and Arkansas, mostly bound for California. With them were many women and children; and It was pleasant to stroll into their camps in the evening and witness the perfect air of comfort and being-at home that they presented. Their wa gons drawn up in a circle, gave them at least an appearance of security; and within the Inclosure the men either reclined around the camprlres, or were busy In repairing their harness or cleaning their arms. The females milked the cows and prepared the supper; and we often enjoyed the hot cakes and fresh milk of which they invited us to partake. Tender infants in tbelr cradles were seen under thc dielter of the wagons, thus early Inured to hard travel. Carpets and rocking chairs were drawn out, and what would perhaps shock some of our 'in ladies, fresh-looking girls, whos:*- ros, lips wero certainly never Intended I bn defiled by the vile weed, sat around the lire, smoking (lie old-fashioned corn-cob pipe." Indians were encountered on July ii. Several of Ihem rodo into camp and wen- entertained, and they then Insisted that Beale return with them to their own encampment ten miles away. Knowing that it is always best to aet boldly witb Indians be compiled, and apparently had no reason to regret it. for In- was welcomed kindly liy tin chief and told to "sit In peace': "I brought out my pipe, tilled It, an! we smoked together, in about fifteen minutes a squaw brought In two large wooden platters, containing some very fat deer meat and some boiled e-.rn, to which I did ample justice. After this followed a dish which one must have been two weeks without bread to bave appreciated as I did. Never at tho tables of the wealthiest in Washington did I Iind a dish whieh appeared to me so perfectly without a parallel. It was some cornmeal boiled in goat's milk, with a little elk Tat. I think I certainly ate near half a peck of this delicious atole. and then stop- pod, nol because 1 had enough, but because I had scraped the dish dry with my lingers, and licked them as long as the smallest particle remained, which is 'manners' among the Indians, and also among Arabs. Eat all they give you, or get somebody to do It for you. Is to honor the hospitality you receive. To leave any Is a slight. I needed lint the rule to make nie oat all. "After ihis we smoked again, ami when about to start I found a large bag of dried meat and a peek of corn put up for nie to take lo my people." Subsequent etieounlers with lhe Indians were not so friendly. Tho natives were willing enough to promise tbelr aid to the selllers who would follow, hul (bey wanted presents ou Die spot, and as the party bad none bj give tbem there was some Ill-temper which nearly resulted in trouble. .Mr. Heap, who belonged lo Lieutenant lieale's party, relates the following incident : "At one time the conduct of a young chief, the son of El Capital! Grande, was near occiislonlnn serious consequences. He charged upon Felipe with a savage yell, every feature apparently distorted with rafje; bis horse struck Felipe's mule, and very CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought 85i Bears the Signature of nearly threw them both to the ground. The Indian, then seizing Felipe's rifle, endeavored to wrench It from his hands, but the latter held firmly to his gun, telling us at the same timo not to interfere. We and tho Indians formed a circle around them, as they sat in tlieir saddles, each holding on to the gun, whose muzzle was pointed full at the Indian's breast. Ho uttered many imprecations and urged his followers to lend him their- assistance. They looked al us inquiringly, nnd we cocked our rifles; the hint was sufficient—-they declined to interfere. For some minutes the Utah and Felipe remained motionless, glaring at each other like two game-cocks, each watching with Hashing eyes for an opportunity to assail his rival. Seeing that to trifle longer would be folly, Felipe, who held tbe butt-end of the rifle, deliberately placed his thumb on the hammer and raising it slowly, gave warning to tbe young chief, by two omttllous clicks, that bis life was In danger, For a moment longer the Utah eyed Felipe, and tben, with an Indescribable grunt, pushed the ride from him, aud lashing his horse furiously, rode away from us al full speed, Felipe gave us a sly wink, and uttered lhe highly original ejaculation—'Cara- jo.'" Heale was a sullleleiuly strong man to champion tlie Modoc Indians at a time when il needed some courage to tell tlie truth concerning the treatment ihey bad i elved and that led to the uprising. He addressed n letter to the Republican or < ihester, Pennsylvania, which contains tho following notable appeal: "Let us pause for a moment before committing ourselves to a policy more savage and remorseless lhan that of tin Modi ic h whom we propose to smite hip and thigh. Let us ask ourselves if wc are not reaping what we have sown, nnd If the treachery to which the gal lant and lamented Cnnby fell a victim is not a repetition of a lesson which we ourselves have taught these apt schol ars, the Indians? Are we to think our selves blameless when we recall the Chlvlngton massacre'.' ln lhat affair lhe Indians were invited to council under flags of truce, and the rites of hospitality, sacred even among the Bedouins of the desert, were violated as well as all military honor, for these poor wretches, while eating the sacred bread and salt, were ruthlessly fallen upon and slaughtered to the last man The Piegan massacre was another affair in which we industriously taught the uncultivated savages the value of our pledges; and if we are correctly informed the very beginning of the Modoc war was an attempt while ln thc act of council to which they had been invited to make Captain Jack and two others prisoners. As to the bloody character of Indian warfare, as far as we can see, it is carried on by us with about the same zeal. We read of a sergeant ln the service of the United States who tn the late attack on the Modocs 'took the scalp of Scar-face Charley, who was found wounded ln the. lava beds.' And if we desire to feel very good and free from barbarism we have only to read what comes to us side by side with news from tbe Modocs of the humnne and civilized treatment we are meting out to our brothers in Louisiana, who differ from us on political questions; or recall the massacre and robbery and mutilation of unoffending Chinese, which was committed in broad daylight by American citizens in California a year or so ago." General Beale—for be had now attained high military rank'—had sufficient faith In the future of California to purchase large tracts of land making in the aggregate an estate half as large ns Rhode Island. "A witty though absolutely groundless story Is told about Lincoln ami General Beale, and the hitter's great landed possessions. Lincoln is reported as saying that he could not re-appoint Beale as surveyor-ffcnernl because 'he became monarch of all he surveyed.' "As a matter of fact General Heale, to the amusement of many uf his friends, who have since died poor, purchased for cash all the laud in California of which he died possessed, and the purchases were made long before he became surveyor-general. While Heale only paid five cents an acre for much of this land, this was five cents an acre more than most people at the time thought it was worth, and It was well known tbat for years no while man could be paid to live on the place during tiie general's frequent absences for fear of marauding Indians nnd white outlaws. "General Beale enjoyed the 'surveying story,' as he called It. as well as anyone else, but once he said, 'Some day the archives of our country will tell why Lincoln made me surveyor- general. It had nothing to do with rod or chain, but much to do with the metes and bounds of the Union.'" General Beale's ranch life was usually busy enough, but lie found time to use his pen as a cudgel upon some of the Sierra poets who were beginning to write of pioneer days without much regard to accuracy. In the course of a vigorous rejoinder to Joaquin Miller, he pays a tribute lo Kit Carson: "Carson was a man cleanly of mind, body, and speech, and by no manner of means a border rufllan. He had no gift of swearing. Tho only onth I over heard him use was that of William the Conqueror, which I hnd once read him out of a stray volume of 'Tristram Shandy.' On this occasion, he drew a long single-barreled pistol (old Constable's make), which Fremont had given me, ond 1 to Kit. for we had no •gold-mounted Colt's, true companions for years' In those simple-minded days, and with slow, deadly speech, which carried the sense of imminent mischief In it, said to one who was In the act of a cowardly wrong upon a sick man. 'Serjeant, drop that knife, or "by the Splendor of God.' I'll blow your henrt out.'" Carson, bo says, was not only a man of extraordinary courage, but he had a power of loyal friendship remarkable enough even in those days, when comradeship was among the greater virtues. "Without a thought of ever seeing water again, you poured upon my fevered lips the last drop tn camp from your canteen. Oh. Kit, I thlnk u train of afterwards, on bloody Gila, where we fought all day and travelled 11 night, with each man his bit of mule meat und no other food, and when worn from a hurt I could go no fur- r, I begged you to leave me and e yourself. 1 see you leaning on thai long Hawkins gun of yours (mine now) and looking out of those clear blue eyes at me with a surprised reproach as one who takes an Insult from a friend. And 1 remember when we lay side by side on the bloody battlefield all night, when you mourned like a woman and would not be comforted, not for those who bad fall- but for tiio sad hearts of women at home when the sad tale would be told; and I remember another night when we passed side by side in tlie midst of an enemy's camp when discovery was deatli and ymi would not lake a mean advantage of a sleeping foe. Then you were with Fremont and afterward al tho solitary desert spring of Arcbllele, when you all stood around shocked at the horrid spectacle of slaughter which met your eyes. A whole fetidly done to death by Indians. Fremont asked, 'Who will follow these wretches ami strike them in their camp'." It was you, old Kil, and Alexis Godoy who look the trail; a long and weary hundred and twenty- live mih's you followed lhal bloody band. EoU Iwo attacked in broad daylight a hundred. Killed many. I'm* which you brought back our grizzly mountain vouchers and recovered every stolen horse, for tin* sole survivor, a lillle boy. And this you did In pity for the women who had been slain. Oh! wise of counsel, strong of arm, brave uf heart, and gentle of naitire, how bitterly you hnve been maligned," General Heale died on April 22, 1803, and with him died the era of the path- tinders to which he belonged. Mr. Bonsai has told the story as it should be told and wilh an eye to national rather than to personal interests. His book will enrich the library of great western achievements. / Cured Stomach Gas, Stopped Hiccoughs Pains in the Stomach That Yield to Nothing Else, Pass Away Quick* ly if Nerviline is Used Read Mr, Braun's Statement "A few weeks ago I ale some green vegetables and some fruit lhat was not quite ripe. It first brought on a fit of indigestion, but unfortunately it developed into hiccoughs, accompanied by nausea and cramps. 1 was dreadfully ill for two days—my head ached and throbbed; I belched gas continually, and I was unable to sleep at night.

I took Imlf a teaspoonful of Nerviline In hot sweetened water, and my stomach felt belter at once. 1 used Nerviline several times, and was completely restored." The above is from a letter written by (!. E, Hraun. a well-known stockman and farmer near Lethbridge, Alta.

A PARLIAMENT PERSONALITY We have heard much in recent years about tbe use of vituperation and Invective by our political orators. V passage occurs In the newly published Parliamentary Reminiscences of Mr, William Jeans (who sat in the Press Gallery of the Commons for over forty years), however, thnt shows the strength of language used In parliament In the sixties to have far exceeded our present limits of personalities. It was during the fierce debate In 18(1.1. regarding the purchase of tbe building used for the Exhibition of 1801. Sir Charles Wood, wbo suffered from a nervous and hesitating method of speech, had spoken for the government, and was followed by Mr. Grant Duff with this choice example of acrid ridicule. "The speech," he said, "which we have just heard—If it could be called a speech—was a sort of concatenation of broken iiiterjoetlonnry remarks, jerked out by a minister to Whom Heaven has denied not only the power of lueld statement, but also of articulate speech." An attack of this kind on a minister, adds Mr. .leans, would certainly lie followed now hv cries of "Order," and "Withdraw.'' but n those more robust aud less sensitive days nothing happened, Tho Sneiker did not Int erf en There was a solitary cry of "Oh," and I remem ber that Lord Palmerston turned and gave Mr. Grant Duff one of those looks which a prime minister bestows on i mutinous or misbehaving supporter.

British Columbia, having a population of 392,480, according to the final returns, just published from the fifth census of Canada, the numlier of members to be granted this province on the decennial re-adjustment of representation is found to he thirteen, or six more than the number of members of tlie Commons now representing British Columbia. According to the terms of Confederation the representation of Quebec remains at the iixed numlier of 65. In the ease of other provinces tlie number of members is to bear the same porportions to the numlier of its population as ascertained at each census as the number sixty-live hears to the number of the population 30,811 obtained hy tlie division of 65 into 2,002,712 the population of Qubcc at the census taking year. The number 802180, British Columbia's census enumeration, divided hy 80,711 gives 12,78 and as tho Act provides that, in tlie computation of the number of members a fractional part of n number not exceeding one-half of the whole numbor requisite f.sr entitling Ihe provinco to a nienilier shall Ihi disregaad- cd, hut a fractional part exceeding me Imlf shall lie equivalent to the I whole numbor, then it is manifest that British Columbia's representation on re-adjustment must he 13. On tho same basis Alberta's representation will be increased from 7 to 12; Manitoba from 10 to 15; Saskatchewan from 10 to 16. The total representation for the four western provincs will thus be increased from 34 to 50, or an addition of twenty-two members. The total population of Canada is given as 7.204.838. Tlie mayor of Stubenville, Ohio, has introduced a new treatment for the liquor habit that for prompt results has the "gatling gun" and other remedies "beaten to a fizzle." He compels the drunks in the police court to don boxinggloves and pummel each other until thoroughly sober. None of the patients have suffered a relapse. Milwaukee milk dealers, charged with selling adulterated milk, pleaded that the undue proportion of water wns caused by the cows being exposed in a rain storm. This contention didnt hold water in the eyes of the law and the court imposed a fine and recommended them to provide tarpaulin rain shedders for their herds during the wet season. According to Government figures there are now 850 rural mail de. livery routes in Canada, of which 250 were established during the past year. There are 25,000 delivery boxes. Advertise in the Free Press. Jogging Laziness into Activity. Tho merchant whose Inisiness lags in tho summer has himsolf to thank. To slacken the selling pace in tho hot season—to lessen advertising activity— indicates a resignation which has no place in modern business. If we think we cannot keep uur business booming in summer time, we surely will not. What a jolt it must, have been to the fur trade when the tirst mid-summer fur ad-1 vertlseinent was run in a daily paper! Now many fur stores are following the example of this progressive fur man who dared to believe that fur sales need not go down ns the mercury goes up. Energy, linked with advertising has turned the month f January into the biggest selling season for white goods. Advertisements of a high stimulative power, combined with a disregard of "seasons," have opened up automobile selling two months earlier than was once thought possible. Adve- tising has started Christmas shopping early in Ootober instead of the middle of Dcceinder. Advertising rises superior to seasons ami thermometers. The right kind of advertising strikes a responsive curd in human nature—and human nature is the same in August as in December. ****,*****+***********************■**+*** ***** ********* THE MERCHANTS BANK OF CANADA » Paid up Capital and Reserve $11,400,000 Establishes | We give special attention to Savings Accounts.

The Kind You Haw Always Bought *!_S Boars the Signature of ning mo for Hul bachelnr, called by and heir llOI'ltURO. When be went to Purls a few weeks ago tin* Prlnco was an unassuming and somewhat bashful youth. The general opinion Ih (bat be will have developed considerably by lho time lie ret urns In lhe autumn, and perhaps lhat expectation may account for tbe activity of the matchmakers, There Is no doubt as to tho desirability of the catch, for thero is no royal mother on earth who would not gladly seo her daughter wedded to the prlnco, who Is heir to tbo triple crown of England, Scotland and Irelnnd, the Imperial diadem of India, tho lordship of ono-fifth of the human raco and of Ihroe-lenths of the habitable portion of lhe globe. Even this Is not all, for bo is tbe inheritor of the enormous private for- Uinc of the English kings, which means their own personal property absolutely and completely distinct from crown properly which is held in trust by the stale and which is daily increasing in value. But we are not here making an inventory of the Royal possessions Whether in the form of accumulated investments or landed estates or city properties all over the United Kingdom, but discussing the problem of the selection of a consort for the prince which is rendered all the more formidable and puzzling by the fact that the holr-apparent is debarred by thc constitution from marrying a Human Catholic. This may In part account for the fact that until now two princesses only havo been openly mentioned as probable brides—one is the Grand Duchess Olga of Ilussln. eldest daughter of the Czar, and the other is the Princess Victoria Louise of Germany, only daughter of the Kaiser. Grand Duchess Olga, who is about eighteen, too. Is a very pretty girl, although she does- not possess her mother's almost classical features and exquisitely delicate profile. However. Ihe union would doubtless be vigorously promoted by the Dowager Empress of Russia and by her sister Alexandra. Dowager Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, for the latter adores her arandson "David'' (Prince Edward's nickname), as she docs also her i-'ister. Marie Ddgmar. No doubt also the now o\isling English government would bo far from Crowning upon this union, since there is fo much at slake In the present Anglo-Itusslan alliance, which WOUld he naturally immensely strengthened thereby. On the other hand, the Conservative opposition In England might possibly disapprove; and there is also a vague rumor to the effect that King George, as well as Queen Mary, would not regard ihe connection as desirable. Princess Victoria l-milse of Germany would. In becoming tho consort of the English heir apparent, absolutely wipe out lhe—lo be polite In terminology— latent animosity which several years past has made cloud mountains rise iu formidable array between tlie two countries. Uut the English people arc not in tlie least anxious to Germanize tlie crown. Besides which, another ami yet more potent reason for lhe non- success of this project is that both Un- English and the German courts are Convinced that the young people arc far from being attracted to each other. To begin with. Princess Victoria Louise has been brought up In a purely German manner and among nu essentially un-English entourage. Her numerous brothers—she worships them all—are emphatically anti-English. the only member of her large family who Is friendly to England being ber father, who. though fond or lhe people, dislikes lhe form of government. There certainly an- other royal girl- tn Europe who would be proud and happy lo become Princess of Wall-. Por Inslanco, the pretty fairy princess, Ellsabolh of l.oinnunia, would he without lhe possibility of * doubt a w«l- como addition to lha TCngllsh royal family were it only for the extraordinary popularity ut her mothor in tho land of her birth. Daughter of th.' wn Prince of Uoumanla, granddaughter of the Duke of Edinburgh (who later nn became Duke of Saxe- Coburg and Golh.O. ami of his consort, Grand Duchess Maria of Uussla, Elizabeth, like ull those wbo arc thc Issue uf different and sympathetic people of different nationalities, is a "char- nieuse" of tho Ilrst order. Moreover, sbe has been brought up very much "a I'Anglalse" In spile of Queen "Carmen SHv.i'h" mystical and disturbing In- lluence. Then there aro tbo cousins uf the Prince, English bred and popular, but these need not he discussed, One mny reflect with contentment that thc future of tbe attractive youth Is In .lho eyo of the gods. THE REAL RODIN i Born nt Purls In 1840— the natal year of bis friends Claude Monet and Emllo ZolO—and In humble circi.mstnnces, not even enjoying a liberal education, tho young Rodin had to light from tho beginning, fight for bread ns well as for art schooling, lie was not sure of his vocation. An accident determined it. Ho became a workman in lhe atelier of Carrler-Delleust*. the sculptor, bul not till he had failed at lho Beaux-Arts t a stroke of good luck for hla genius), and after he had enjoyed some tentative Instruction under the animal sculptor, R-irye. He was never a steady pupil of Baryo's, i.or did he *o- maln witli him long. He wenl lo Belgium and "ghosted" for olher sculptors'; indeed, it waa a privilege—or a misfortune—to have been the "ghost"— anonymous assistant—for a half-dozen sculptors. He learned hla technique hy the sweat of his brow before ho began to make music upon his own Instrument. How his tlrst work, "The Man With the Erolccn Noae," was refused by a Salon jury la history. Ho designed for lhe Sevres porcelain works; he made portrait busts, caryatides, architectural ornaments for aculptora; all styles that an- huddled in the yards and studios he had assayed and conquered. No man knew hla trade better, though we uninformed lhat with the chisel of the practlclen Rodin was never proficient; he could not or would not work at the marble en bloc. Hut his compositions today are in the leading museums of the world, and by academicians he Is admitted to possess "talent." Rivals he haa none, nor will he have successors. Ills art Is too personal. Like Richard Wagner, ho has proved a upas-tree for many lesser men; he haa absorbed them or else has been re- fioctod by I hem. ills closest friend, the late Eugene Carrloro, warned young aculptora not to study Rodin too curiously. A profound aiudent of light and movement, Rodin, by deliberate amplifications of surfaces, avoiding dryness and harshness of outline, achieves a zone of radiancy, a luminosity which creates tho illusion of reality. He handles values in clay as does a painter hla tones. He secures the design of tlio outline by movement, which continually modifies the anatomy — the secret, he believes, of the Greeks. He studies hia profiles successively in full light, obtaining volume—or planes—at once and together; successive viewa of one movement. The light plnys with more freedom upon his amplified surfaces, intensified in the modeling by enlarging the lines. The edges of certain parts aro amplified, falsified, deformed, and wo get that light-swept effect, that appearance ns If of lumin- us emanations, This deformation, he declares, was practised by thc great sculptors to snare the undulating appearance of life. Sculpture, he asserts, is the art of the hole and the lump, not of clear, well-smoothed, unmod- elled figures." Finish kills vitality. Yet Rodin can chisel a smooth nymph for you if he ao wills; but her llesh will ripple and run in the sunlight. His art Is one of accents. He works hy profile In depth, not by surfaces. He swears by what he calls "cubic truth , his pattern Is a mathematical figuro; the pivot of sculpture ia balance—i.e., the oppositions of volume produced by movement. Unity haunts him. He la a believer in the correspondence of things, of continuity in nature; a mystic doubled by a geometrician. How- quarrels with any artist who does not aee "tlie latent heroic in every natural movement." Therefore, he docs not force the pose of hla model, preferring gestures and attitudes voluntarily ndoptcd. His sketch-books, as copious, as vivid as tin* drawings of Hokusai—he Is very studious of Japanese art—aro awlft memoranda of the human machine as it dispenses ita quotidian muscular motions. Rodin, draftsman. Is as surprisingly original as the [sculptor l^odin. He will study a human foot for months, not merely to copy It, but to run down the secret of Its rhythms. Ills drawings are the swift notations of a sculptor whose eye Is never satisfied, UNBURN. '''Bt'lSTf l-VS, jfei SO'.Rt=:i;.fEET. Everybody now tdmits Zam-Buk best for these.

Not a painter, but a sculptor, has made these extraordinary drawings. It Is well to observe the distinction. Rodin la the most rhythmic sculptor of them all. And rhythm is the codification of beauty. Because he has observed with a vision quite virginal, he insists that hla affiliations are with tho Greeks. But If his vision la Greek, hia models are Parisian, while hia forms are more Gothic than the pseudo-Greek of the Academy.

A new town in the state of Washington has the distinction of possessing thc shortest nnmc of any in the countiy. It is called "We" and has a population of ISO people.

Thc character you admire hns lieen carved by innumerable decisions in favor of the right and against the wrong. Tlic reputation which is the largest asset of another nctiuintnnee was acquired by consistent uprightness. Anyone can get an education who is willing to make necessary sacrifices.

Edson Smith) The fut-vlsoged, pimply young man with the sore eyelids gazed bitterly down over the shabby roll-top desk. "You'd better swipe the pennies off a dead man's eyes," he growled sulkily. At this ancient sarcasm the dissipated face of the employment agent underwent a lightning change. It stiffened coldly, and a sneer twisted the good-natured mouth. Wells stared Insolently up at his visitor. "What's the matter with you, Hanson?" he queried sharply. "You registered only two weeks ago. You must think that office positions are as thick as flies." Hanson shuffled his feet indefinitely. "When a fellow pays you good money, he ought to get some consideration—seems that wny to me," he said. Wells jammed some papers Into a pigeonhole, Then he tipped his revolving chair backward tit u sharp angle, putting one knee against tho edge of the desk. "You're gelling till the consideration that Is coming to you," he mild with finality. "You paid a fee for lhe privilege of filing yuur application with me. ii was distinctly understood that thero was lo he no strings to your measly utile old two dollars, t told you ut tho lime, the* chances for a man with no j Hi experience were far nml few, bul you were crazy lo get aboard then. 1 suppose lhal you've run across a good Job driving a dray, or somelhlng of that sort, and think you could use Iwo dollars Oh? I don't sen It lhat way. If 1 hOttr of nny vacancy lhat yon match up tu, I'll let you know." Hanson glowered. "You're a hell of a bUBlnoSS uian, aln'l you','" lie remarked heavily with nonr Irony. "Thai's whut I am," cuiiid thc curl rejoinder. "Anyhow, I'm uot easily worked. Can I do anything moro for you today?" he Queried in polite conclusion. "My lime Is quite taken up, hut of course " After Hanson had shambled out and down lhe hall, after lhe door of the descending elevator had slithered open and clashed shut, the intelligence broker still sat motionless, staring ut the wall. And the wall was not far uwny, for Wells had cramped quarters; a mere, three-angled nick In the very corner of a many-slorled building. Tlu* outer side wns set with three windows —In fact, three windwos might he said to form the outer side. Through them floated the traffic grind from one of the busiest streets In town. The broker's desk was close to the door so that he could look over It at whoever entered. This was a convenient arrangement. A lift of the eyebrows and a practiced shake of tho head was sufficient to, send many of his less Insistent clients stolidly down the hall again. In the front angle of the office was a typewriter desk. Whether this was occupied by a stenographer depended not so much on the amount of correspondence as on the condition of the treasury. Kmptoyment ngents are accustomed to precarious existences. Wells bud a hundred romantic stories fllod nway behind his eyes, and half forgotten. He did not deal in servant maids, nor yet In railway hoboes. To him came the eager youngsters with their litlle mockery of knowledge acquired at one of tho hundred business colleges, cheerfully pouring their attainments Into his cynic ears; modestly requesting secretaryships to heads of corporations. To him came deserted wives, fearfully eager lo take up the bitter task tif earning their dally bread; pitifully sure thut tbeir worldly knowledge—salvage of a day gone by- would stand them In good stead. To him men with hair of silver grey, proud beggars who were stumbling down that long ladder to the stars, taunted nnd Inughed at by climbing youth. Every one camo. A steady stream of something that was onco crystal with hope but was now muddled with a trl- Imiary despair trickled into the room wltb its one door. It might bave been ■! confessional. And yet he was young. wus Wells. That Is. he was young In these things-he was slender nnd his brown hulr bad no streaks of gray; and his sklu was smooth us a hoy's. Uut his eyes spoke eloquently of the thousands of troubled years that had lieen left with blm by his petitioners—victims—what you will. .lust now ho snt tilted back In a rare solitude und gavo himself over to those pitiless ones- the blue devils. "Thnt fellow wns right." he groaned, "I'm exactly whnt he said 1 was. Tng ulong, year after year, listening to (ales of woe from Tom, Dick and Prisclllu. und never lay up the price of a drink.

Arising, he went over to lhe farthest window and stared mournfully Into the street from bis second-story vantage place, standing with ono foot on the low sill. Wells was distinctly shabby. He never seemed to hnve time, money, or Inclination lo attire himself like n 'Helmet* model. A trlltle down at tbe heel a trllle baggy al the knee, and i tri lb* of a leaning toward last season's stylo, no far nm any style at all was distinguishable. That was Wells Home peopte snld thnt ho hnd been disappointed In love; some Inferred that It was a terrible thirst. Nnlthor supposition was absolutely correct. It was lust Wells. ■There was a tentative fumbling of the door knob by somo ono In tho hall without. Tbo meditating ono straight- ened up to tho limit of his lazily stooped shoulders, yawned once at tbe September afternoon In general, once nt himsolf In particular, nnd forthwith took tho two stops necessary to steal tho base of tho chair behind the desk. This action seemod to bo automatic So, too, wns tho rapid rush of his fom. ■ tain pen across n shoot of paper. Tho Inttor must certainly hnvo been automatic Whnt ho wrote was this: "I'm a dub. I'm a gyastacutus. it's about time I wus being good lo myself for a while." Having written this very important paragraph three times, Mr. Wells blotted it, placed It in a pigeonhole, und then glanced up with the trite, "What can I do for you?" . It was a girl who came doubtfully, hesitatingly, around his desk, and, it his inviting nod, sank wearledly Into the chair near him. Sho waa a de- n.ure, graceful little thing, nineteen perhaps—fragile and slender. Her silky brown hair showed smoothly combed, and she wore an unworldly frock of simple white stuff with Infinitesimal flowers scattered hore and there in Its pattern—a dress which would have charmed birds or hoes, or country lads, maybe, ln some old- f ash toned garden, lint birds and bees, and gardens were hopelessly far away, and lho delicate face was tinged with a pallor thai should not have heen there. "Mr. Wells'."' she Inquired faintly. "Ves." " I " she hesitated. "I would like a position, If you please." Wells considered soberly, "Will you take It with you?" he queried at. lasl wllh a twinkle, The girl surprised him.

Thore woro so many girls who resembled her lu thai one particular. She apparently divined Ills Ihoiights. "I do need a position very, very badly," she added earnestly. "Anything at all—oh, anything at all lhat 1 can do!" This last came out with frantic eagerness. And then the cough—a tearing, strangling struggle with disease thai tinged her cheeks a (laming red. and left little crimson flecks upon her handkerchief. Wells steeled himself with an armour of professional apathy. lt wns one of the pitifully impossible cases. "Out here for your health, 1 suppose?" he questioned in perfunctory fashion after she had struggled Into a panting silence. The girl nodded without speaking, her lovely gray eyes fastened upon his. Ho picked up a steel paper-cutter and mnde angry jabs with It at the desk blotter. Among other things he thought of a trapped bird. "Ever do uny office work?" he asked helplessly, following the old routine. "No," she replied soflly, "I have never worked—at anything." Sho stopped, then went on as if a further explanation was necessary. "My home Is up north—In a town called Hawthorn. I got this awful cough two years ago. And last winter it was so much worse the doctor said it wns my only chance—to come to a climate like this " She faltered Into a momentary, piteous silence. Wells had heard so many variations to the theme l luu ho made no direct comment. Instead he sought to relievo the tension of the narrative. "Father Irish?" he asked, quizzically. The girl looked at him, startled for one second, then smiled rellevedly at bis friendly regard. "You mean my eyes," she said simply, "Yes, he wns Irish. My name is Kathleen Desmond. But my mother Is French." she added with quaint frankness. Tbe shadow stolo ovor her face again. "We didn't have much money," she continued. "Mother and I lived alone lu a tiny cottage"—thoro was a caress in the slow words—"and now. after all. tho doctor hero says that It's no use, that I must go farther south." Miss Desmond hesitated, regarding the man With gravity. "I cannot ask my mother for monoy," sho resumed; "she hns no way of getting more than just enough to pay my board here. And I thought of finding something to do, sn that 1 eould save onough to got a place whore I can he truly well. I hope that I haven't taken Up too much of youi time." she concluded with sweet courtesy. "Ob, no! I suppose you can write legibly?" "1 think so. 1 might show you." She looked at him doubtfully. "Belter fill out one of these applications—over on tho table— there. Answer the printed questions. I can got nn Idea from that of your penmanship." Without a word she seated herself at tin* table she Indicated and commence I on one of the lengthy blanks, The man followed the movement of the slim fingers for a second. Then his eyes roved lo n box of envelopes on lh floor liy the typewriter desk. Those live hundred envelopes, hail to be ad dressed before noun lug.

This one might ns well have Ihe work. Mayer paid 10 cents a hundred. Fifty cents. Perhaps II would discourage her so Ihnt she would go nway and not bother him nny mnre. Heaven know she ought lo be In bed hi uue where In a hospital. He took the paper which sho held timidly out to him and looked at It absently. "Yes, Very fOOd" ho Bald, "Now, Miss-or Miss Desmond, T happen to havo a llttlo work on hand that can ho done right here In the olllco this afternoon. Would ynu liko to try It? It's Iwo o'clock now, and yon could work as long as you liked." 'I'd be so gtnd!" oxclalmod tbe girl nssentlngly. "I don't suppose you enn Imagine what It means to mo to——" "Yos, Just so," Interpolated Wells hnsttly. "It Is some addressing I want you to do. Hero Is tho card Index with tho address. Thore nro nbout five hundred—moro or loss. Tako them In turn. "I'll put tho envelopes up hero In front of you—so. (let tho Idea?" *'T—I think so," sho replied slowly. "This Is tho wny, Is It not?" She oopled (ho contents of tho flrst enrrt on un envelope In a dainty, ornmpod hand. "Suro! Thnt's It exactly!" snld Welts carelessly. "And, sny—I'm go ing to be out on tho street for tho greater part of the afternoon. If any one drops In to see me, tell thom to come again at five. Same for the 'phone." Miss Desmond propounded a question full of quiet eagerness ns he turned to leave tho room. "How much—could you tell me much I'll get for this?" He hesitated, hand upon the open door. After all, such sums were terribly inadequute. "Why—er—Mayer, the mun who is having those done, pays 10 cents. Of course, I understand it isn't much. But I thought It would give you a start In the right direction." "Oh, I think It's fine!" she exclaimed happily. "I'm thankful to you for giving me the chance." It was somewhat after five that he camo In again and (found the girl still bending over the unaccustomed task, lie busied himself at the telephone for a time, and then leaned back and looked over at the frail toller. "lietter not keep at lt too long," he advised easily; "if you don't get them all done you can come down in the morning bright and early—nine or so—■ ami finish them up. When you leave tonight pull the door shut, If you will please," ho added by way of farewell. "It's a spring lock. Good night!" It was one morning almost a week afterwards lhat Miss Desmond cani" lnio Ihe office again. Wells was alone. It was early ami Ihe procession of applicants hud not formed up us yol. lie .as feeling badly Unit morning. There •ere three or four vacant pashms lu view which would easily not him a hundred dollars in commissions—aud one lo Illl Ihem. Moreover. Wells had dined tho previous evening in long drawn-out fashion, with many strange drinks to punctuate tho record of lhe dining. Ami he had break fast id on black coffee ami tho memory of a Turkish bath, So tho effeel of nn otherwise cordial greeting wns somewhat spoiled by tho luridness of hla oyos. "I suppose you are cross with mo," she began, "for quilling that night before tho work was done and not coming back. I felt badly about It, Mr. Wells, I did Indeed! You see I " "Il didn't matter," he Interjected; "really It didn't, Thero wore only a dozen or so of the blamed envelopes left and I did them mysolf nexl morning. That was all right." "I simply had to leave thom undone," she wont on wearily. "I had a bad time with my cough. I—I could scarcely get over to tho street car and out to my room. I've been sick ever since." "Too hod! Too had!" sympathized Well. "1 suppose that kind of work Is a bit too strenuous at present—eh?" "Perhaps," assented the girl; "but 1 hope to get something easier at Santa Fe. It's there I'm going. And to think—I renlly owe It lo you! If you had not given me the opportunity 1 can'l say whut would have become of me. For I couldn't havo gone; the fare alone Is eighteen dollars. Thanks to you I will have nearly fifty." Wells stared blankly. The girl coughed for a long, agonizing mlnule and, whon the spasm was over, sat with her face hidden ln her hands. The man nt the desk stirred uneasily. "Let me see," he queried; "how much wore you to receive for that hunch of nddresslng?" "Ten cents, you said." replied the girl simply "I did four hundred and sixty- three That would mnke forty-six dollars and thirty cents. Do you know, Mr. Wells, thai Is the first—the very flrst money I ever enrnod myself. I can hardly bellvo that It Is really true." The girl's eyes shone like misty stars. "And I'm so happy to think thnt lho money will he the means of making mc* well." There was an Interval of sllcinw., ,f you misname silence something which was really a medley of morning nolseo from tho clashing street. I'h-huh!" vouchsafed Mr. Wells ut last, somewhat Jerkily. He gulped down a sigh and reached Into a corner for his checkbook. 'Td better pay you the amount right now," he said, "before I forget lt. And I hope yon find the Mexican air as advertised."

There THE MAN-EATER OF KARKAN- KOTE In November. 1006, t wns fortunate enough to be included In ono of tho Mysore shikar parties which nro generally arranged every yeur. The hos- pltnllty of His Highness the Maharajah of Mysore was proverbial In Bout hern India, and It wns entirely due to his kindness that we were allowed to Shoot In Ihe "closer forests, which were, ns a rule, exclusively reserved for royalty. These parties were usually mado up of the Ynvuraja ithe brother of the Maharajah), another native prince, and iwo or three llritish officers from Uni galore. The arrangements for ones comforl were made on u most lavish scab* as regards lenls, living and transport, but wheu It came to the shikar pari or the business one was left almost entirely free to do as one pleased, and make one's own "bandobust" wllh the nsslslunce of the Inspector or game preserves and the forest game watchers. Success or failure wns therefore due In n great measure to one's energy, ability, nnd or course luck. AHer a run or about two hours Ibrough the beautiful "garden" slate of Italia we arrived at a "tlnk" bungalow, the name or which I ninnot for the moment remember, where we spent lhe night, nnd discussed plans for Ibe next ten days. We bnd already received news or a tiger which had made his home near tho small hamlet of Kurkaiikole, and hnd hoard a pitiful tale of lis depredations from tho villagers. This particular animal had taken an enormous numbor of cattle during the last few months, nnd quite recently hud killed nnd eaten a native, Naturally, these poor people were very noxious to be rid of their most unwelcome visitor, nnd we wore very keen to assist them In this respect. Accordingly we dorlded to tlo up donkeys in Ihe vicinity In the hope of getting a "kill" and to depart to the were several herds in the neighborhood but wc generally lot them alone, as il was almost a hopeless task to get up to them, us the jungle was very thick at this lime ut the yenr, und it would only be by the greatest fluke if one happened to drop on a good bull without disturbing lhe more numerous cows and calves. H. had shot quite a good solitary bull, and one small herd bull luul also been bagged. A day never passed without ot least one of our parly coming across bison, und in sueh pleasant surroundings we had almost forgotten about the tiger, and had decided lo spend the remainder of our short leave at our present camp. However, on tho morning of the eighth day news enme into camp by runner lhal the Karkankote tiger hail killed during the nighl. We accordingly moved to that plate next day, und tied up three donkeys, hoping that the llgor would kill again lhat nighl, as the following day was Hit- last of our leave. II. and 1 were Up al dawn, nml, nu visiting the place where lhe donkeys had been tethered, found lhal Iwo of them had beeu Killed and dragged away. We located the tiger In some thick jungle, und made certain that ho had nol lefl, as no fresh tracks could anywhere bo found leading away from lhe place. We then seni word bail* lo the dak bungalow to have iill the available men collided us healers, and for men to come mil .-il once to build our machans, While we wore visiting ihe kills u*e came across Iwo Indian red dogs. This was the first time 1 had ever seen one of these animals, and I was much impressed by their build, which was certainly for speed and strength. They wore on lhe high road, and Stood for some time looking at us at a disiance of from 25 to 30 yards. Thoy ottered u very easy shot, and, much as I desired to possess the skin of one, 1 had lo refrain from shooting for foar of disturbing the nobler animal which we felt confident was close nl hnnd. The arrungemenls for thc beat were not complete until about li p.m., but everything had been done very carefully, and our hopes for success ran high. I must here give a brief descrlp tion of the jungle that we intended to beat, lt must be known to the Prince and Princess of Wales, our present king and queen, as lt was the scene of the famous khedda operations which many attended In the spring of the same yenr. Two miles north of Karkankote the road leading lo the foot of the Xillghlrl Hills runs almost parallel to the Kubbanl river, and distant a few hundred yards from It. The larger timber was mostly teak, with fairly thick undergrowth. The mnchans were placed in line running at right angles from the road to the river. Slops were put along the rive bunk and at lhe edge of the jungl ulong the roud. The former precaution was taken ns the natives reporteil having seen the tiger swimming across lhe river. The beaten were ussem bled to the north, und were to work towards Karkankote, Soon after hav lng occupied our machans a faint noise In the distance conveyed to that the bout had commenced) and few minutes later an unmistakable roar was heard, and wo knew that "Stripes" was at home, and evidently objected to being so rudely awakened from his siesta al sueh an hour. The next tew moments of waiting seemed an age. An ulmosl painful . reigned, oruhen Oni) >*• uie cries of the beaten some hundreds of yards away. From the scrub just In front of me a solitary Jackal emerged, und paused for several seconds to listen to the unusual commotion. This little Image then come towards me. and squatted under my machan. a few more seconds elapsed, when my attention was attracted by a small bird Hilling from a bush lo my left front. In ordinary circumstances such a trivial occurrence would doubtless nave passed unnoticed but I attribute this fai-t. Insignificant as It may seem, to the bagging of my first tiger, for almost Immediately li appeared from behind this sume bush, and had not more than u couple of yards to cover before he would be lost In view again If ho utinued In his present direction. J& A Fishing Expedition to Sugar Lake B.C. illy V. H. in lio This was the ilrst tiger I had •*< seen outside the b-.irs of u cage.

After a second or Iwo It righted Itself again, aud tried In vain to crawl nway. It was unable in raise Its hindquarters. ami I surmised tbat its back was broken, lt was now facing awny from uie. with Its head resting on its fore- paws. A second barrel through the brain and all was over. I blow Ihree blaslH on my whistle- a preconcerted signal lu case or a kill and afler a short time the beaters came nlong and gathered round lhe carcass, there being no other tigers In the bent. My first shot I found was a very lucky one; It wns high up and a Ullle fat- back, but, as 1 imagined hnd broken the in list's back. It was an old animal In excellent condition, but Its lower tooth were very much worn. It measured 9 feet 2 In. lietween uprights. We then returned to Karkankote. reaching the bungalow soon after \ p.m. Al 7 p.m. the carcass was brought Into the Village by quite nn army of heaters, some carrying torches hendlng the procession and shouting with glee, ho Joyful were they to be rid of this troublesome Dealt.

In Juno of last year 1 found that 1 could spare a little time from the strenuous life I hud been leading as an Alberlan prairie farmer, and at once I began to look about for something that would provide a thorough change. My thoughts naturally turned towards a trip across the Uocky Mountains into beautiful British Columbia. One could scarcely Imagine a more pronounced change from the bleak, treeless prairie than the fertile valleys and flowing rivers, thick forests and snowcapped hills of British Columbia. Accordingly, my decision made. I journeyed from Calgary to Vernon, thero lo pay u long-promised visit lo a friend who had a fruit farm In that part of the country. What u gorgeous trip It wns across the mountains! No words of mine can express tho beauty and grandeur of lis scenery. I was compelled to spend a night at Slca- mous Junction to tuke tho branch lino down the Ok aim gnu Valley. The C. P. It, have built a magnificent hotel on the banks of Khuswap Lake, uud hud ll not been for Hit- mosquitoes l should have liked to have made a longer slay thero, as the fishing in the lake was in full swing al Ihe time. 1 found thnt my friend at Vernon was as willing as I to lake a holiday, so after spending a fow days on his furm wo decided lo put In a fortnight camping out and fishing on Sugar Lake, which sheet of water is about sixty miles oast of Vernon. We collect ed our equipment and borrowed a lent in Vernon, going on from there to Lumby. l.umby Is a small village reached by motor stage and is ubout twenty miles on tho way to the lake. We spent a couple of days there fishing the numerous small creeks surrounding It; the sport was good though the fish were all small. With considerable difficulty we succeeded In hiring a man wilh a team und rig to take us thc balance of the way. The latter part of the trail was had and only fit for pack horses, we wero told. However, we found a man who was willing to try it, and we hud tho wisdom to charter him for the return journey. It was hoth hot und duBty, hut we made good time the first twenty-five miles. After that It wi wretched travelling. Just a rough trail had hen made by the settlers for sleighing In the winter time and some of lho irees hud heen left a foot or two high. In some cases we had to chop those down and had also lo chop a couple of windfalls out of the way, The leasl said about the holes and grades the better. Fortunately the horses were willing and Iho rig strong, so no harm was done. We arrived at Inst on the banks of Shuswap river and found our way up to Ihe lake, barred by a swiftly (lowing creek, which our driver refused to cross. We bundled out our stuff, nnd ns the rig returned to u slopping house about fifteen miles on tho road home, we struck up to the creek to try and find n wny across without getting our blankets nnd provisions wet. Fortunately we found a wlndfnll stretching right across tho creek, and following a track for about three-quarters of a mile we came to the lake side. There we found an old Norwegian living ln a log shack he hud built himself. He was more than seventy years old and had just taken up u homestead there. Fancy going to llvo alone sixty miles from a railroad, hardships and Insecurrty'Vifa p?onoer!*i llfe at that age! Yet tho old man was as pleased with his homestead as a child wilh a now toy, bul I trembled to think what would happen to him when some of tho ullmcnts ono naturally associates with old ngo, should attack him. He lent us his boat to fetch our baggage up In. lt was easy enough to take the boat down, but when It came to pulling hor up again heavily laden it was unother mutter. We ouch took a turn at It, but the current was too strong, und each lime wo wore washed down stream and bad to creep up the side again lo hang on to a convenient tree. Wo could hear the falls ronrlng about one-quarter or a mile lower down, so enrrlod our stuff over the creek by bund to a convenient site close tu the old Norwegian's shuck, where we pitched the tent. 1 had no difficulty in bringing the boat up empty the next day. It was a beautiful flpol In which to camp. Ity the lime we had things fixed up tho old mnn had a delicious supper of fried i rout aud fresh bannocks ready for us. to which we did full Justice. After supper we lighted a big firo and lav on our blankets, pipes full on, nt ponce with Iho world, wntchlng the flickering (lames, listening to the oroaklng of the frogs and dreaming of (he big fish Wfl would catch on the morrow. The following day, after a hourly breakfast, we got off up lhe hike In the bout. The hike Is about nine mllos long by six wide wltb an island In the middle, and Is fed liy the upper Shuswap river nud numerous creeks, off the mouthfl of which there Is excellent fishing. The weather was perfect and lu a lillle while we both stripped to the waist to enjoy a, delicious sun bath, We hnd two trolls out, a long and a short otic The long one, which was a large spoon ball, which we always found Ihe mnst successful, caught the first fish, a fine Dolly Varden trout which weighed eight pounds, ll was the only big fish we caughl lhat day. bul we got numerous smaller ones varying from half a pound to throe pounds. Some we caught trolling and some wllh fly rods. I always think Ily fishing Is much better sport and more exciting than trolling, nnd would rather catch a two-pounder with my rod than a slx-pnunder on tho lino. We landed at ltalnbow Creek und hnd an enjoyable bath, though we had to light a smudge to keep off tho nms lulloes whilo we woro drying. Wo boiled a couple of the trout we hnd just caughl for dinner. We hnd no luck in the nftornoon. but In the evening wo caught a lot of fish with our rods In front of the tent nt the mouth of the lake. It was here that wo alwnys hnd our host sport; rowing gently up and down under the bank we never failed to have some luck. We found lhe best bait was the natural moth or butterfly. The lake was really too high to get the very best fish. One night we awoke lo find ourselves lying In water and our tent pitched on an eminence, an island. The lake had risen nearly two feet during the night, and we hnd to shift our tent hack into the woods. One day we tried fishing below the falls, where, when the water Is low, one can catch any quantity. We had no luck, however. Although a terrible plnce to approach, the .Shuswap Falls are a magnificent sight and worth thc trouble of getting to. Thore is a scheme on hand lo harness the fulls and use the power for an electric railroad. Our fortnight passed all loo quickly. Once our stay was enlivened by a visit from three gold prospectors, whom we photographed, along with our Norwegian friend, standing In front of his shack. We listened to many an Interesting tale of the country, with which Ihey were fumlltnr. uur hunting was a disappointment, for a couple of loons and as many chipmunks and water snakes as we liked was the sum total. Then- are many deer nnd bear, a few goats and an occasional grizzly hear to be met wilh, hui unfortunately we never met any. We had ,some glorious fishing. wever, and long shall I remember the taste of the beautiful pink trout fresh caught from the lake. Our driver came for us as arranged. We should not have been greatly surprised If ho had not turned up on the date specified. This time we did not drive the first ten miles; our first experience had been quite enough. We Plodded behind the horses, lending a hand when necessary to extricate the rig or assist the horses. Our driver, a French-Canadian, whose language was picturesque, would never have returned to us hud we not chartered him for the return trip and refused to pay hlm anything until he had delivered.us safely back at nur destination. We broke our journey at Lumby and reached Vernon the next day. t paid a brief visit tn Kelowna. returning to the prairies after a **hur. oughly enjoyable holiday.
