altogether she has contributed to thc
various Canadian contingents despatched to fight tho Empire's battles
against the Boers. According to population, Slocan has made the best re
cord in the province, and the quality
of the men sent was equal to the
quantity. All the recruits for the last
contingent were mustered in ln one
day, and Capt, Curtis ai.d Dr. Forin
found their jiositions a sinecure, so
fully did the men answer the neces
at****** requirements. Thoso enlisting
were:
Henry Cleve.who is American born
but a British subject. He has served
one year with the colors, in thc DOtli
Riflc-i uf Winnipeg. Harry wa-- manager here of A. David's tailor shop.
John P, Aitchison is a Caned an,
having been born in Simcoe county,
Ontario. He had resided here for a
mimber of yenrs and followed pros
peeling and mining.
Hubert Cooper is a son**of Auld
Scotia and has been in the country
but a short while. He was lately
employed at the Enterprise.
John A. York is the Bccond son of
A. York and is also a Canuck. Jack
was ono ofthe boys ofthe town, Laving resided here since a lad. Ho will
he much inissc-d froni the band.
W. Paul Wood was born under the
American flag. He has resided here
for two years and was also a mem-
b. r of the band.
Win. E. Weaver is an American
citizen and has been raised in the
saddle. He is a cousin of Bobby Allen's and has been following packiRg
o* late.
Charles E. Hay Ies is also a cow
puncher and comes from Southern
California- Up to the time of enlisting he was employed on the steamer
Slocan.
All tho boys nre used to life in the
hills and can ride or shoot with the
best of them.
Saturday c.'cniiig tho band boys
gave a farewell champagne supper
to thc recruits at the Royal hotel. It
eras a swell affair and passed off in a
pleasing manner, A. York acted as
chairman and delivered an excellent
address, giving the recruits much
good advice, as did also'.'apt Curtis,
the recruiting officer. Vocal aud instrumental music were furnished in
abundance, the toasts were drunk
with a vim, and the guests of the
evening were made, to feel that their
patriotic actions in going to the from
were much appreciated. The point
was dwelt on of the American sub
jects taking service under thc British
Hag, testifying to the fact that blood
la thicker th n water. Each of the
guests made a manly reply, and
thanked the band boys and citizens
for the honor.* showed them.
About. 11.Ik) Monday morning a telegram was received, telling tin* boys
to leave on the noon train. The citizens at once determined on a send-
off. At 1 o'clock a procession was
formed, lead by II. E. Allen and W.
Lee mounted and carrving large j
British and American flags; uext
came the band bays, then the coinin-
gent on horseback, and behind them
a host of citizens marching. They
paraded ihe principal streets and
wound up at the depot, where a general leave-taking was held. It was
a touching scene, as nearly all the
boys were practically raised here
and familiarly known to all. As tho
train pulled out three.rousing cheers
Were given for the boys, whom every
person feels confident will nobly and
bravely uphold the honor of Canada
and the Empire at the front.
Slccin has had the reputation-of
being somewhat lukewarm in its loyalty to King mid nountry, but the
gallant showing she has made In
sending out a dozen men all told to
Africa must prove a refutation to
that, as it is a prouder and better record than all tlie other towns in the
Slocan put together have made.

In th* Ossrk mountains there Is a
spring'that conld tell some startling
tales and explain away the mystery
surroundlng the dlsappiMursnce ot mow
than one human being.
Jack Warner thought that he had
made an important dlseoyery, and the
next minute he found tbst he had made
two ot them.
In the first place, he had diseo-trered
a "moonshine" distillery, which was
Important, bnt not Interesting to him.
In the next place, he was a prisoner
In the hands of ths "moonshiners"
themseWes, -which was both Important
and interesting.
For two long boars In the stormiest

So \vuen at last a little speck of light

hailed it as a harbinger of shelter and
rest and hurried forward with renewed
hope.
lie had taken less than A dozen
steps, however, when he found himself
face to face with a tall, determined
looking man and a gun.
Tbe two men scrutinized each other
narrowly, while balf a dozen ruffians
gathered round. The man with the
gun finally broke thc silence by saying:
"It's a bad business, your coining
bere, young fellow; but since you bave
come we'll bare to attend to you, I
guess."
Wltb that he made a motion to tbe
otber men, and tbey speedily bound
Jack hand and foot.
"Wbat does this mean?' Warner demanded.
"Ob, nothing much," the man with
the gun replied. "About all tt means
Is tbat you will bave to take a both In
tbe Big spring, and anything tbat goes
In there never comes out"
Warner comprehended tbe man'a
meaning now and. agbast wltb horror,
cried:
"Great Godl Do you mean to drown
me?"
"We mean to put you where yon
won't never tell no tales," was tbe cool
reply.
Warner tried to collect bis reasoning
faculties und speak calmly.
"liefore going any further let's sit
down and talk tbls matter over. There
Is a misunderstanding," be began.
The otber slowly shook bis bead.
"I guess," be replied, "there ain't no
misunderstanding-on our part, at
least You made tbe mistake wben you
camo bere to spy on us."
"Right tbere you are wrong," Warner said. "I did not come bere to spy
on you."
"Ah. cornel You can't fool us. If
you ain't one of tbem rcvenuers sneaking round to locate our still, wbat are
you doing bere at tbis time of nlgbt
and In all this storm?"
"Well, in tbe first place I am the
new schoolteacher tn this district I've
been bere a week, and you bave probably beard of me. In tbe second place,
tbis being Saturday, I spent tbe day
fishing, remained too late, nnd wltb
this rainstorm I lost my way. In tbe
third place In my wanderings around
tbls morning I accidentally stumbled
on this spot Now there's tbe truth,
the wbole truth and nothing but tbe
truth, so help me."
After a pause tbe man wltb the gun
replied:
'Tbnt may be so, but still I don't see
tbot It changes matters any. You'd be
roost sure to report on ua for tbe sake
of the reward."
"I'll pledge you my word of honor
tbnt I will never whisper to any living
mortn I a word of all this."
"Maybe you won't; but you see, we
csn't tell about that Sometimes a
man's word and honor don't amount to
nuch. and we can't afford to take no
grent chances. There's no use of all
this talk. We know our duty to our
selves, and we propose to do It Boys,
bring bim on and let's settle It"
Two men advanced and took Warner
by the arms to lead blm nway to the
Big spring.   Psle witb terror, be cried-
"Great Oodl Would you murder
sae?"
"It Is better for you to go tbat way
than for us to go »t the end of « rope,
Loosen his feet boys, so be can step
along."
They out the cord about Waruer.'s
legs and started forward Into the
woods. But a woman, her face white
uud anxious, bat hair flying wildly in
tbe wind, barred their way.
"Por God's sake, Llo," the man with
the gun cried, "what's up?"
"They're here!" she gasped. Then,
clasping her bands and looking Into bla
face uppealtugly, sbe added: "Go,quick,
-lake 1 Fty before they get you."
"Wbat are you talking about?" Jake
demanded.   "Who is it?  Net the"-
"Yes. yes; the revenuers! Tbe cabin's surrounded, and they're searching
tbe woods. I slipped away, but most
likely tbey seen me. Don't wait, Jake.
hut go quick l"
His face darkened, and a dangerous
light came to bis eyes.
"D- "em!" be said bitterly. "Let
'em come! I'll get some of 'em before
tbey.get me." Tben. turning to bis
men, be added: "Stand back out of the
light, boys, so tbat you can't be seen.
Wnlt a minute! This man has been
spying on us, and we'll fix blm for tt
lirst."
Wltb that be struck off into the
woods, commanding two of bis men to
follow with Warner and tbe others,
with Lis. to hide.
After covering about thirty yards
nloug tbe aide of the mountain be stop-
lied ou tbe brink of a dark bole. It wasj
the Big spring, that greedily swallows
up everything tbat falls a prey to It
and gives notblng back.
A cold chill of horror went over
Warner as be beard the water boiling
aud bubbling down there In tbe dark.
"Throw blm In, boys," Joke ssid
coolly.
The men began to push Warner forward. In his struggles tbe rope slipped from his arms.' Finding his bands
free, he wrenched himself from thef
grasp of one of tbe men and, striking
blm a quick blow, sent blm reeling
back toward tbe spring. There was a
scream, a heavy splash In tbe water
and tben alienee. Quickly following
up bis advantage, be struggled to free
himself from the otber man* and bad
almost succeeded wben Jake gave him
a push that sent him flying over the
brink of the spring and clear to the opposite side, where he struck agalust
tbe bank.
Aa be began to sink down Into tbe
hole be clutched frantically In search
of a support. Wben balf bis body was
in the water, bis fingers grasped a Jutting stoue that checked his fall. Tbere
be hung, bis wbole weight on. his fingers and the waters tugging at blm
as If angrily determined to tear htm
away.
By a flash of lightning Jake saw him
clinging to tbe wall and, witb an oath,
started around to tbat side of tbe
spring. In another flash Warner saw
Jake with his gun raised to strike blm.
At tbe same instant tbere was a
pistol report, and in the darkness Warner felt a heavy body plunge past blm
and beard a great splash in the water.
Then, Just as bis fingers bad begun
to relax their hold, a pair of strong
hands grasped his wrists and saved
him from sinking. For the first time
In bis life he fainted.
When lie returned to consciousness,
be was lying before a fire In the shelter of tbe still wltb a doses detectives.
Three of the "moonshiners" were la

The father of Thomas Jefferson died
In 1757, and tbe son's situation was
tourhingly described by him years afterward tn a letter written to bis eldest
grandson wben be was sent from home
to school for the first time. It is given
ln "Tbe True Thomas Jefferson," by
William B. Curtis. Tbe letter was as
follows:
"Wben I recollect that at fourteen
yen/s of age the wbole car* and direction of myself was thrown on myself
entirely, without a relative or friend
qualified to advise or guide me, and
recollect tbe various sorts of bad company wltb wblcb I associated from
time to time. I am astonished that I
did not turn off wltb some of tbem and
become as worthless to society as they
were.
"I bsd tbe good fortune to become
acquainted very early wltb some characters of very high standing and to
feel tbe Incessant wish that I could become as they were."
His father left Instructions for his
education and especially enjoined upon the widow not to permit blm to
neglect "tbe exercise requisite for his
bodye's development" Tbls strong
mnn knew tbe value of strength snd
used to say that a person of weak body
could not bave an independent mind.

Mr. John S. Plaskett. B.A., of the.
University of Toronto, gave a most
Interesting address at the Toronto
Camera Club (he other night, explanatory of tlie methods of photography in natural colors. For the
illustration of the subject no less
than live electric projection lanterns
were in commission. Mr. Plaskett
gave a very lucid description of a
n.ost complicated and difficult process, and wouid up by showing some
jnir.ellons pictures in natural colors. The | h jtogtaphs of the Foresters' Anh. and some of tho University of Toronto and the Parliament

is something at which ordinary mortals will not be successful. It calls
for expensive and carefully and sci-

and intelligent und most, precise
manipulation. Mr. Plnskett's lecture
was one of the best ever given in

A mctaaafiil llu.a.
A couple of thirsty fellows who
had been loaling all Iho forenoon on
tho quays at .Stockholm wore struck
with a brilliant idea. They borrowed
an old brandy keg and half fllletl it
with water. Th.*n one of them slung
it on his shoulder and took it to the
nearest spirit vault, where he stated
lhat ho had been sent by ono of the
skippers in port to have the keg
filled with brandy.
"Tho captain is sorry he only got
it half full yesterday and thinks It
would be bettor to have it filled to
the top."
Tho keg was accordingly held under the tap till it was full, and the
fellow hoisted it on his shoulder, but
ns ho was about to walk off with it
ho was stopped by the clerk, who demanded payment for the spirits.
"Hasn't our skipper a running account?"
"Certainly not."
"Bless me! 1 must hnvo none to tho
wrong ihopl Thero Is nothing for It
but to empty half i hs* keg back
again."
This was no sooner said than done,
after which our hci'o merrily went in
search of his companion.

The humors of donkey riding In

In Ibe east. Tho experience of the English governess of the kbedlve's daughter is told tn ber book, "Five Years In

My donkey was rather an unsociable
animal aud was not satisfied with win

even tbe hearing of my companions
Then at last he thought fit to slacken
bis pace. As be was thus walking
leisurely along I began to examine tbe
contents of my pocket and took out my
nc.ebook to make some entries.
While I was thus occupied tbe don
key boy, wbo bad run noiselessly after
me on tbo sand, suddenly rushed up
nnd with blows urged my donkey on
again at full speed. I had only time to
grusp the reins and away I weut, my
treasures all scattered behind me and
I shouting to the boy to desist

he replied. "Yes, missus, you very good
doukey; be called 'Flying Dutchman!'"
And then, to keep the honor of the
name, another blow to urge him forward. In a few minutes I was on the
bank of the river, long before my com-
panlons, and tben tbe boy hnd the effrontery to ask for backsheesh for having got me there first!

superstitions are more varied and extended than among metropolitan ones
and are of course more blindly and religiously adhered to. If on entering n ■
town where tbe next "stand" is to be
made a graveyard Is visible on the

country manager's heart swells with
bright anticlpatlflns. But if, on the
contrary, the tombstones loom up on
the left of tbe road he becomes depressed, as be takes the fact as a

lodgings for shoveling snow during

a soft snap. I had nothing to do but
eat and loaf around for the first two
weeks, but one morning the farmer
roused me up and said tbere was a
trifle of work for me. I stepped out
to find the snow four feet deep on ths
level and still falling, but I tackled the
job wltb proper ambition. I believe 1
lifted fifty tons of snow that day, but
when night came I wasn't much ahead
of tbe storm. It was tbe same the
next day and the next, and after five
days of It, with no signs of letting, up
end every rail fence burled out of
eight, I stopped work loug enough to
ask the farmer:
•"la this thing going to keep right
on for a week longer?'
" 'A week longer?* he repeated, with
a broad grin on his face. 'Why, man,
this is ouly the 3d of December, and
we never figure ou stopping work before the 10th of April. Just buckle
right to It and keep up your appetite.'
"I thought tbe matter over that
nlgbt," said the tramp, "and ln the
morning 1 dug a tunnel to tbe nearest
village nud escaped and asked to be
sent to Jail. They didn't turn me out
till the 1st of July, and the first man I
met was my old farmer.
" 'How's snow up your way?" says 1.

MARKETJEVIEW.
WHEAT-The wheat market in the
America,, speculative centres have
shown incre-i-M-d activity during the
week, accompanied by a good deal
of nervousness which at times resulted in some excitement.   .
The immediate cuuse of the increased interest and trading has undoubtedly  been  the apprehension of probable widespread deterioration of the
winter wheat crop over the west and
southwest.    States owing to '.nek  of
sufjicienl  rainfall.   The  rainfall  over
that country has been below the normal ever since the crop was planted
and although there has been no long
period    recently without some rain,
thu quantity received has been very
inadequate, and unless copious rains
coino soon the crop so circumstanced
will |,o much short of a good yield.
Thvio    is, however, a large increase
in  the acreage of winter wheat and
this is by some being depended on to
compensate for the probable smaller
yield.   The spring  wheat  acreage  in
the    United   States    is   expected to
show a fair decrease from last year,
with a corresponding increase in the
oats, corn and barley.     There is no
change    to   report   this   week as to
crops in  Euroke.     They continue to
come along well.   A matter of much
interest  to all concerned in tlio wheat
trade has this week transpired in the
imposing    ol   u   tax   on wheat and
Hour imported into the United Kingdom.   'J lie duty on wheat is 'id and
on Bour fid per hundredweight of 112
pounds which  is equal to about SVic
per  bushel  of OOIhs.  on  wheat.   The
amount   is    probably    too small to
make   any    appreciable diltereiice to
the trade in any respect.
Manitoba wheat has advanced during the week in about Uie same proportion as in the American markets
but the demand has been dull and
trade by no means active. Most of
Our exporters have not bein buying,
us thoy sny it is impossible to pay
the prices for export, and they evidently prefer to be. doing nothing in
the meantime. Navigation at Fort
William opeued last Saturday but
shipping has not bwn so active during the week as was expected. Nevertheless the blockade has now been
relieved and the movement of wheat
from country points is increasing
fast.
In rrgnrd to prices at last report
71Vjc for 1 northern nnd 6SV2C for 2
northern were values in store Fort

These prices strengthened until on
Thursday 73',^c 1 northern and 70"/2c

A RAILWAY MAN
EXTHAORDINARY      IJNDLEASANT
SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY TROUBLE IN THIS CASE.
Tortiueil by all Kinds of Pains and
Aches He Tries Everything, but
Fails to Find Relief Till a Friend
Advises Him to Use Dodd's Kidney Dills—They Have made a Well
Man of Him and He is Grateful.
Ottawa, Ont., April 21-(Special.)
Frank Charrand, a railway man,
whose home is at 130 Little Chau-
diere Street, has acknowledged that
•Dodd's Kidney Dills have done more
for him than anything '.-lse in tlio
world has ever done. He says: "I
suffered with backache and was always drowsy and had a very heavy
feeling in my limbs.
"1 had frequent severe headaches
and more times very sharp pains in
the top of my head, which gave me
much annoyance in my work.,
• "My fingers would cramp and 1
would have an uneasiness in my legs
and occasional pains in the loins.
"I was dizzy in spells and short of
breath. If I ate a hearty meal 1
would have a pain in my leit side.
My appetite would sometimes be
very good and sometimes I couldn't
eat anything.
"I had a constant soreness and
tenderness over the spine and tired
feeling in the region of my kidneys.
T suffered quite a little with a
dragging heavy feeling across the
loins.
"Dodd's Kidney Dills were recommended to me by a friend of mine
who had been cured, and 1 began to
use them.
"Almost from tlie start I began to
feel tho wonderful improvement,
which continued as the treatment
proceeded, till the unpleasant symptoms had one by one entirely disappeared .
"Dodd's Kidney Dills have worked
a _wonderful cure in my case and I
cannot speak too highly of this
great and good remedy."
What Dodd's Kidney Pills have
done sfor Mr. Charrand they have
done for thousands of others, and
they'll do the same for you if you
give them a chance.
There are many railway men in
Canada to-day who find Dodd's Kidney Dills Indispensable. They are the
railway man's surest and best lYicnd.
The constant vibration on trains
and engines is very hard on the kidneys and Dodd's Kidney Dills make
these organs well and able to resist
disease.

A D1Y  OF CORRESPONDENCE.
The following correspondence, ending In true Irish fashion, actually
passed between two men in England
some years ago :
"Mr. Thompson presents his compliments to Mr. Simpson, and begs
to request that he will keep his doggs
from  trespassing on his grounds."
"Mr. Simpson presents his compliments to Mr. Thompson and begs to
suggest that in future he should not
spell 'dogs' with two gee*3."
"Mr. Thompson's respects to Mr.
Simpson nnd will feel obliged if he
will ndsi the letter 'e' to the last
word in the note just received, so as
to represent Mr. Simpson and lady."
"Mr. Simpson returns Mr. Thompson's note unopened, the impertinence it contains being only equalled
by its vulgarity."
There* never was, and never will bo. a
universal panacea, in one remedy, for all ills
to which flesh is heir—the very naturo of
many curatives being sucli that were the
germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient—
what would relieve one ill in tarn would aggravate the other. We have, however, in
Quinine Wine, wben obtainable in a sound,
unadulterated state, a remedy for many and
grievous ills. By its gradual and judicious
use the frailest systems are led into convalescence and strength by the influence which
Quinine exerts on nature's own restoratives.
It relieves the drooping spirits of those with
whom a chionio state of morbid despondency and lack of interest in life is a disease,
and, by tranquilizing the nerves, disposes to
sound and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor
to the "ction of the blood, which, being
el insulated, courses throughout the veins,
strengthening tho healthy animal functions
of the system, thereby making activity a
necessary result, strengthening the frame,
and giving life to tho digestive organs, which
naturally demand increased substance—res-alt, improved appetite. Northrop & Lyman

NOTICE.
.passed Attorney General Kbcrts inserted an amendment making the
bill applicable immediately upon the
dissolution ofthe house.
The Dominion government* lu s
made a pronounced move in thcrigln
direction, in that it has introduced
legislation compelling the arbitration
of all disputes on railways between
employers and employees, thereby
ensuring immunity from interruption
in thc lines of public communicatior.

.to be passed this session, being permitted to stand over. Having admitted thc efficacy of compulsory ar-
bitratioR -for one branch of industry,
it is surprising the government can

prists mentioned are in keeping with
the newly awakened public spirit in
panadas to develope the natural re-
sources  and  conserve  tho benefits
therefrom for Canadians.   It is well
that it should be so. but the one big
