At the last meeting of Westminster City Council, Alderman John?
son suggested that Btcps should be
taken to induce the Grent Northern
Company to run a market train
over the B, C. section of their
road every Friday. It would be a
fine thing if the Great Northern
rnilwny could he made of some
benefit to the people of the municipality it runs through.
Threshing is in progress nt Mud
Bny, nnd a large quantity of grain
hns been put in snek this week.
Last week, the threshing machine
was at the farm of the Messrs.
Crandall, a mile from Cloverdnle,
and the output was 1,100 sacks of
superior onts and whent. This is
the lurgest amount of grain yet
grown on this farm which has
heretofore been largely seeded to
hay, 	
As an amateur fruit growpr, the
Editor of Surrey Timks has lately
been seeking information on some
matters that troubled him In regard (o apple growing. The desired information has been received
during tlie last few days, and we
intend to give our subscribers the
benefit of it in our next issue. The
points, wo believe, will be found of
concern to all who grow apples, or
intend to grow them.
Mas, Pa. Wilson and Mrs. Harris, of Vancouver, who hnvo been
spending a few weeks with Mr.
John Wilson, of Langley, brother
of MrB. Harris, drove down to
Cloverdnle on Wednesday to visit
Mrs. Galbraith an old-time neighbor. Tlie ladies were curious to
see a cream separator in operation,
nnd were escorted tn the adjoining
dniry of Messrs. Lyte A Whittnker,
where Mr. Lyte, with his customary
kindness, set tlie machine agoing,
and generally made tilings pleasant
for his visitors, who came away
greatly pleased.
A Qi'iKT wedding took place at
Holy Trinity Cathedral, New
Westminster on Tuesday morning,
at 11 o'clock, when the rector,
ltev. A. Shildrick, joined in holy
matrimony Mr. W. J. Moggridge,
of liclle Meade Farm, Hall's I'rairie,
and Miss Madeline Alexander, of
England, sister of Mrs. C. I). Moggridge. Only a few, including Mr.
and Mrs. C. D, Moggridge, witnessed the wedding, and there was no
bridesmaid or groomsman, After
tlio ceremony, the party brenkfast-
cd at the Hotel Gulchon, und the
happy couple left by the afternoon
train for Harrison Hot Springs,
where the honeymoon will be spent.
Surrey Times had n cull on
Wednesday from Mr. .1. T. Wilkinson, better known, perhaps, as the
"World Man on' the Wing," who
has been mnking the round of Surrey in the interest of the journal
he represents. Ilo is a most affable
quill-driver, arid after having hnd
experience of his genial und insinuating munnors, we do not wonder
at his success as a canvasser or the
esteem in which his services are
held by the World management
Along with his journalistic connection. Mr. Wilkinson is nn enthusiastic stock breeder, a trait in
which he follows his father; who is
one of the host known stockmen in
Eastern Canada, and noted for his
sheep and pigs. Lust year the
Berkshire herd of the elder Wilkinson won np loss than 95 first
prizes. J. T. Wilkinson was the
pioneer importer of thoroughbred
stock in Chilliwack, whero his home
is, and fornuiny yours he won every
prize hp competed for with his
Southdown sheep. This yenr he
made a fresh importation of Southdown sheep und Berkshire swine,
nnd in the latter it is probable lie
will make neighbor Shannon, of
Surrey, look after his laurels
at the exhibitions this fall.
Mr. Wilkinson also owns u number of standard bred trotting horses
of high merit.
We published last week the
times and places at which the
Travelling Dairy would be exhibited in Westminster District. According to that announcement,
which wns the same ns in the city
papers, Surrey Centre would be
visited on the 10th, 17th, nnd 18th
of September. Since then posters
have been received from the B. C.
Agricultural Association announcing that Prof. Robertson will accompany the Dairy to Victoria,
where it will be operated at the exhibition from Sept. 17th to 21st.
This, of course, conflicts with the
Surrey Centre appointment. The
Secretary of the Surrey Agricultural Society is endeavoring to ar-
range for the dairy to be u feature
of the Exhibition here on Sept.
25th. 	
The Idea ? *of Seneca G.
Ketchum I It is n decidedly bright
Idea, and is published weekly in
Vancouver. Two or three numbers
have reached our table and entire-
fill the idea of piquant and witty
presentation of things of interest to
everybody. We remember Seneca
when he was a very small "gaffer,"
though even at that early age the
orginator of a joke that became
school property, though the boys
didn't imngine then tliat the precocious humorist would develope into one of the cleverest of Canadian
journalistic wits, The title of "The
Idea ?" contains asuggestivequery,
but Seneca's friends need feel no
uneasiness. Long may he and his
Idea flourish.
Cloverdale is hemmed around
by grnin fields, nnd the harvesting
of them hns made a busy scene
the past ten days. All last week
the "click" of the binder kept
telling of a bountiful harvest, mude
more manifest by tlie wide arrny
of golden sheaves in stook. This
week, from our office door, could
be seen a half-dozen wagons busy
hauling the seasoned product of
the fields to cover in the barns,
The bulk is snfely gathered, but
Messrs. Lyte & Wnlttaker, who
fnrm over n hundred ncrcs, have
still a considerable quantity out,
Mr, Sam, Shannon left on our
table on Monday, a phenomenal
twig of delicious plums. The twig
was ten inches long, and was so
clustered about with fruit that no
part of the wood could be seen
The cluster weighed three pounds,
nnd wus of the green gage variety,
the best of all plums. The fruit
came from the orchard of Mr. Thos.
Shannon, adjoining Cloverdale.
Sohool Inspector Burns is on
his rounds through this part of the
1'rovinoe. and is inspecting the
Cloverdnle school to-day.
An item in Monday's Columbian
states that the well-known produce
inn of Youdall & Sinclair huve
dissolved partnership, the business
being continued by Mr. Sinclair.
Rev. Mu. Best, of Westminster,
who exchanged pulpits with Rev.
Mr. Bowell on Sunday last, had
good attendances nt tho Severn 1
stations of Tinehead Clayton, nnd
Cloverdnle, and, as usual, his sermons were much appreciated.
Tiik present season lias been the
dryest known iiere for some yeurs.
A good mnny wells have gone dry,
and somp people ure put to inconvenience for wnter, though happily
no greater than the carrying of it
from the undiminished wells of
kindly neighbors.

There is a black and white bull
roaming at large through the streets
of Cloverdale, and if the owner
docs not close him up promptly,
there will he a job for Magistrate
Shannon, The bull does not ap-
pear to he cross, but he terrifies
the children going to and from
school.
The annual exhibition of Surrey
Agricultural Association is now
only a few weeks off, the date being Sept. 25th. Parties desiring to
muke entries may do so ut nny
time, the sooner the better, und
new members should now be looking after enrollment. The Secretary may always be found at Si'ii-
hky Timks office.
Major Hornby, of Nicomekl, hus
commenced the erection of u large
and commodious residence on his
property south of the Nicomekl
river. The lumber and other building material arrived some dnys
ngo, having been towed up the
river on scows to the railway crossing. The Major intends to enlarge
his hop yard, and will also devote
a considerable area to the culture
of small fruit.
Mr. Daxikl Johnston, of Mud
Bay, is nn. experienced cheese
maker, and also one of Surrey's
most progressive farmers. In talking over dniry matters Inst week,
he expressed his belief that something must be done this winter to
establish in Surrey either a creamery or cheese factory to opernte
next summer. "We must keep up
lo the times," he says, "und there
is no reason why an institution of
that kind could not be successfully
financed in Surrey."
About this time of yenr a good
many sports come over from ncross
the boundury to fish for trout in
the Nicomekl. Somo of them use
the legitimate appliances of the
angler, and are no doubt welcome
visitors to all who love the rod.
Others nro credited with using
dynamite and many other unlawful means to kill the fish, which
they take for market purposes, nnd
of these an effort should be made
to muke a few wholesome examples.
Within tho last few weeks the

Northwest arc becoming Important
items of our export trade. On
Friday a full carload of over 1,000
boxes of plums and apples wus
shipped from Mission, and another
carload wus sent forward on Saturday from Port Hammond, both
for Winnipeg. The first car-load,
shipped two weeks ago to the Northwest, readied its destination in
good condition, und found u ready

rules are not heaped on too heavily
the export of fresh fruit is certain
to bp a success. Two or more '-ur-
louds will be shipped during the

mountains.
FAULTY MAIL SERVICE,

Sin,—I like your paper cry
much, but the length of time that
it takes to reuch Langley Prairie '-
a drawback, Tlie way the Langley
Prairie mail service is arrangM u
a shame, The mail we should get
on Thursday we do not gel till
Saturday, and that we should get
on Saturday is not received till
Tuesduy, so that Surrey Tores
does not come to hand till Tuesday
whereas if the mail service was
conducted right we would get it on
Saturday. All the other newspapers suffer the same unnecessary
delay, und there is not much satisfaction in our people taking papers
because the news is old before we
get it. Of course letters must submit to the delay nlso, and that i.-
even more aggravating.
Our mail is forwarded from Langley ut noon of mail dnys, but if ir
wns held n few hours till the new
mail arrived, then Langley Prairie
people would receive their papers
nnd correspondence up to date.
Yours truly,

havo to oonteut ourselves in these prosaic
times with petty attempts tu cheat tho
revenue, for whioh women aro more frequently responsible than men. Suoh an
incident once happened at Belfast, whero
an Irishwoman named Mary MrMuhon
wus brought to tlie police court charged
with keeping whisky on promises which
wero unlicensed. Sergeant Jones deposed that ho went into tlio defendant's
house ami found a woman named Gray-
ton, who was Boated before tho firo.
Upon searching her tho sergeant came
upon 00 bottles of porter and two bottles
•f whisky stowed away in hor petti-
mats, To the inexpressible amusement
of the spectators tho sergeant produced
the peccant garments in court. Each
petticoat was mado of courso sucking
and was girt with innumerable pockets,
and ail of them lined with soft material
bo as to keep tho bottles from clinking
and possibly breaking euch other.
Unhappily for poor Mary McMahon,
the petticoats, whisky und porter were
confiscated by the relentless police magistrate, and tho chief delinquent was
Bent to jail for three tnoullis. I entertain no doubt that tho hearty sympathies
of nine-tenths of those present in court
went with Mary McMahon to limbo.
There has, we fear, never been a timo
in Scotland or Ireland when surreptitious potheen and mountain dew which
never paid a bawbee to the state exchequer did not, like stolen kisses, taste tho
sweeter because of their clandestine
birth.
He, however, who would fain find
amusing stories about running the blockade and smuggling contraband of war
through an enemy's lines may turn with
advantage to many transatlantic magazines which teem with urticles revealing
the illicit trade carried on during the
American civil war. Ladies of tho Belle
Boyd and Mra. Greenhow type were
caught trying to make their way down
south with countless boxes of copper
caps and packages of quinine stitched
into their crinolines. Captain Roberts,
better known under his mil name, Ho-
bart Pasha, tells us that he smuggled
great quantities of Cockle's pills into So-
cessia, but that the southerners, differing in taste from the lamented Colonel
Fred Burnaby, would have none of them.
A certain young lady, who appeared
to bo in delicate health, took ship at New
York for Havana, whence she hoped to
run the blockade into Mobile. Overpowered by seasickness during the voyage, she could not prevent tho stewardess from discovering that she was girt
round about with linen bandages, among
which many costly drugs were stowed.
Such is the complexion to which modern
Binuggliug has come at lust. Our coast
guards have no preventive duties to perform, und their only ruison d'etre is to
watch that no foreign foe makes a descent on our coasts. The Dirk Hattcr-

rutes of the Captain Cleveland order, ;
and in their stead petty larceny revenue |

She Fed the Dog.
An awfully swagger girl came into an
np town drug store the other day. She
led a tiny pug by a slender silver chain.
Her hut wus all a-bloom with purple
flowers, nnd un Alsatian bow of purple
ribbon was tied about puggie's neck so
big as to give tho impression that there
was more how than dog.
Miludy seated herself on a stool in
front of the soda fountain and tenderly
lifted his small canineship to another
seat beside her. The order was given
for chocolate ice cream soda. When it
wns served, this rather remarkable
young woman conveyed a tenspoonful of
the cream lirst to her own lips and then
to puggie's. This process was repeated
until not a drop wus left.
It developed during this interesting
episode thut the dog's name was Nig,
and to see Nig blink his eyes and lick
his small chops was very funny indeed.
"Ugh!" exclaimed a matter of fact
woman looking on. "How thut girl can
put thut spoon buck in her mouth after
thut dog hus licked it passes my comprehension. I think it is perfectly disgusting."
Dut Nig only blinked the moro knowingly, doubtless thanking the good Lord
thut all women were not made alike,—

Viva el ndelnntot" The shout of
welcome homage echoed through the
city of Santiago do Cuba (since known
aa Havana) when on tho last Saturday
in May, 1!>!18, tho gallant Hernando de
Solo landed with his princely retinuo.
threat preparations had been made by
the loyal inhabitants for nn imposing
reception, and the streets wore filled
with a curious crowd eager to behold
their new ruler. At length the discharge
of ordnance announced that tho procession had left tho waterside, nor was it
long beforo tho numerous retinue defiled
before tho applauding Cubans.
A band of pikemen led tho way, wearing iron corselets and bearing long pikes
with steel heads glittering in tho sun.
They wero followed by a band of archers with well filled quivers, and then
came a small band of the newly organized halberdiers, equipped in casque aud
plate armor. The trumpeters came next,
wearing their gorgeous state uniforms
and blowing fanfares upon their clarions, which were ornamented with silken
bannerols. After the trumpeters came
an esquire, bearing a banner on which
was embroidered De Soto's arms nnd
attended by 12 yeomen carrying maces.
And now loud shouts announced the advent of the "ndelanto."
Tho conqueror of Peru was then in the
prime of lifo und rodo with chivalrous
bearing upon the richly caparisoned
charger just presented to him. Ho woro
a full suit of polished steel armor richly
inlaid with gold, while about his neck
wus tho gorgeous collar of the order
of tho Golden Fleece, a gift from his
monarch. By his side mounted on an
ambling mule was Donna Isabella, his
noble bride, nnd following them came a
train of esqnires, pages r.ud men at arms
wearing the armorial bearing of the
"adelanto." A long column of knights
followed, their polished armor flashing
in the sunlight, their pennons ana
plumes floating in the air, and their An-
ualusiun chargers curveting along as if
panting for the contest. Never had such
a gallant body been seen in Santiago as
this brilliant retinue which escorted
Hernando do Soto to the cathedral,
whero a high mass was to be offered up
for their safe arrival from old Spain.
"Holy mother, but it is a glorious
sight." exclaimed a young girl, who had
stood in a large window in the Calle de
Ignacio, gazing through the ornamented
iron work at the glittering host as it defiled past. Nor could she but feel flattered at tho homage paid her by the
chevaliers as they passed—many of them
reining in their steeds to gaze at her
charms. Nor was this to be wondered
at, for her beauty was of that old Anda-
lusiun stamp, in which not even the gentleness of tlio fairer sex can quito conceal tho latent fire of the soul. Masses
of raven hair lay lightly upon her brow,
liko untwisted silk upon white velvet,
and were gathered together by a large
comb, which also secured a rich lace veil.
Her languid eyes were black as jet, her
lips poutlngly invited kisses, and in her
rounded chin was a dimple wherein
Cupid could havo rested with delight.
Her flexible form moved to and fro as if
swayed by tho south wind's breath,
whilo n tiny foot occasionally peeped
from beneath tho amplo skirts of her
white muslin robe, beating time to the
Inspiring peals of the trumpets. Need
wo add that sho carried a magnificent
form, which aho handled with exquisite
grace?
"1 am at your feet, senorita," said a
gallant cavalier, approaching the window and courteously doffing his plumed
hat. It was that worthy hidalgo, Don

although during the gay season he resided at Havana. And of all his possessions, amusements or avocations, noth- ]

In the preceding paragraph, and who
now answered his figurative salutation
by exclaiming!
"Nay, dear guardian, rather come and
Btund by my side. Is it not a noble
sight?"
"Yes, by my faith it is," replied Don
Vusco. Then, entering the court, he
soon occupied a place in the window.
Wo havo said that he had seen much
service and that his hair was turning
gray, yet he had not seen BO harvest
iu< ons, nor was thore a more graceful
cavalier at the ndelanto's balls.   Tall,
compactly built, with un electric black
eye and u winning smile, he was the
envy of many younger hidalgos, while
his broad acres made lilra the more attractive to matchmaking donnas. As
honorable us he was honest, and as faithful as he was brave, his dying comrade,
Don Autonio Gonzales, hud felt great
joy when he entrusted his daughter into
the bonds of so true a gentleman. And
Don Vasco, regarding the last wish of
his friend as a solemn duty, hud ever
used every exertion to rear tlio Donna
Inez us ho would havo brought up his
iwn daughter.
"And do yon not liko it?" inquired the
damsel us her guardian stepped upon the
window platform. "Do you not Iikothis
flashing armor, these spirited horses,
theso waving banners, theso bright suits
tf steel? Oh, yes. guardian, you must
liko it. I should think that the echoing
rotes of these trumpets would make
your blood surge through your veins like
a maelstrom,"
"Yes, indeed. 1 havo decided to join
this expedition if De Soto will accept my
poor sword."
"What!" exclaimed Donna Inez, with
a look of uneasiness, "you go to the wars
againl Oh, for the sake of the Blessed
Virgin do not go,"
"Nay, nay, my fair ward, were you
not just admiring the scene?"
"Aye, but this is not the picture presented at the close of a hard fought battle, when brave knights lie suffering in
agony or die in despuir." Then after a
short pause and an evident struggle in
order to keep from bursting into tears
she added, "It was thero my father
breathed his last."
I    "True, but this expedition is not similar to a European campaign.   These hidalgos go in quest of adventure. I admit,
; bnt they expect to find great wealth and
I littlo if any opposition."
I    "But is tho gold there, guardian? Will
it not be like Ponco de Leon's voyage in
quest of the 'Fountain of Youth?*"
J    "I should like to find that fountain."
I    "And what good would it do you?"
asked Inez, the color mounting to her
cheeks.
■ "Ah," replied the knight, with a deep
sigh, "it might not avail me aught.
Seriously, though, my fair ward, I feel
I that honor calls mo to join tho expedi-
I tion. Tho lady ot tlio bravo De Soto
will remain here, and I feel confident
that she will far eclipso my poor services. So I now kiss your hand, aa I
must make tho necessary arrangements
for tho management of my estates during my absence, and should I fall, Inez,
remember that everything I possess will
be your dower.   Adios."
"My dower," exclaimed Inez, turning
from the window and speaking hurriedly to herself. "I shall be a bride of the
church, then, or earth will have no object that I can love." When she reached
her chamber, she bolted the door; then,
throwing herself upon her couch, wept
long and bitterly.
i For several weeks the city of Santiago
was a scene of jubilee. In the daytime
the cavaliers indulged in that national yet cruel amusement—bullfighting.
Mounted on tho choicest steeds and clad
in brilliant armor, tho gallant knights
contested for prizes of gold or for choice
embroidery presented by the fair ones,
whoso bright eyes graced their lists. At
night there were balls and masquerades,
where tho future invaders of Florida
mingled in the mazes of the dance.
De Soto, while he encouraged their diversions, which served to train his yonng
cavaliers in the use of arms and horsemanship, was not a participant in the
sports.   Anxiously awaiting the return
of a pilot whom he had sent to discover
a safo harbor for disembarkation, he oc- i
cupied himself in perfecting every ar-
rangoment, nor had he a more efficient
ally than Don   Vasco, whose martial j
spirit appeared rekindled with fiery zeal.
Equipping a well armed retinue of men I
from the vicinity of hia estate, be soon
had them the pride of the whole expedi-.
tion.   The excellence of their armature
and equipments, tho superiority of breed
and good grooming of their horses, and
tho confidence which they evidently possessed in their veteran leader, showed
that every battle must find them victori- j
ous or slain.
Bnt, to the great Borrow of Don Vasco
Donna Inez was never on the plaza to <
witness his troops at their daily guard
mounting, their floating plumes, polish-'
ed armor and glossy chargers now extending into line, then at the sound of
the trumpet closing into square.   Their i
pennon wns a scurf worked by the fair
lady for her guardian, but she had retired to a convent  in pursuance, she
said, of a vow.   Nay, she even refused to
see Don Vasco when the expedition was j
ready to sail, although she sent through '
her confessor a most pathetic entreaty.
This conduct, considering that she was
in truth the cause of her guardian's return to military life, was rather saddening, but he consoled himself with the
thought that perhaps ehe was praying
fur bis safety. I
The fact was, Don Vasco had fallen
desperately in love with his ward, although ho dared not urge his suit, lest
she should think that ho hud attempted
to take advantage of his position, and
her high spirit should rebel. She per-1
sisted in refusing to seo him, but on the
eve of his departure his page brought in
a package, "from the Donna Inez."
Tearing it open, the delighted cavalier
found a silken pennon, on which was
elaborately embroidered his armorial
bearings, with the Italian motto, "Che
sara, Bara," which may be interpreted,
"Whatever will be, will be." I

Florida! It was on the lost day of,
May, 1530, that De Soto and his chivalrio
band landed at what is now called Turn-1
pa bay and hoisted tho Spanish flag as
they took possession of the country in
the name of Charles V. Tho scene was
one of surpassing loveliness. A luxurious muss of laurels covered tho ground
beyond the narrow sandy beach, while
beyond them towered the mastliko palm,
the stately live oak and the gorgeous
magnolia. A long distance from the sea
groves of lemon and orange trees gavo to
the landscape the appearance of a flowery wilderness, here and there divided

But the aboriginal inhabitants of this
terrestial paradiso wero not disposed to
yield it without a struggle, and at length
a horde of them with deafening yells set
upon a party of Spaniards. The Euro*
peuns, unused to such warfure, retreated
to the boats, whero Don Vasco had just
landed. Hastily forming a section of his
horsemen, he boldly attacked tho Indians and soon drove them into the interior, shouting as he urgod on his charger, "Che sara, sara!" When the enemy
was routed, he returned to tho boats jubilant over his buccobs, but ero ho dismounted his steed staggered, then fell
dead. An arrow had passed through tho
saddle and buried itself deeply in tho
animal, inflicting a mortal wound,
"Never mind," exclaimed the don, "I
have been the first to raise the lance
against the infidels and have lost the first
horse.   'Che sara, saral'"
On reviewing his troops that afternoon Don Vasco was somewhat annoyed
to find that one of his most trusty men
at arms had brought a stripling sou to
share the perils of the expedition.
"May it please your grace," said the
man, "I wish to train him to the pursuit
of arms."
"But what can his slight arm do?"
angrily inquired the cavalier.

How Opium Is Grown.
As tbe cultivution of tobacco Is prohibited lu England, except under a special license from tho excise authorities, so tba
cultivation of the poppy lu British India is
forbidden unless license has been taken
out.
When a cultivator takes out a permit
from tho opium department to cultivate a
certain area (usually two-thirds of an ucre
of his own land), be reclvesun advance lu
money to secure his nllegiunce, and he
binds blinseir to deliver to the opium
agent at a fixed price, ordinarily 6 shillings u pound, whatever opium may be produced upon bis land.
When official supervision Is efficient, it fs
certainly very difficult for a man to cultivate poppy on u larger urea than la covered
hy his license without detection. Tho cultivation cannot be concealed. It is a sort
of garden cultivation, the poppy plants
being grown In littlo squares or beds intersected by tiny water channels for Irrigation
whenever this Is possible,
Tho growth of the plants Is carefully
tended, and nt length the timo comes when
they burst out Into (lower, nnd the fields

Then the popples, with their ban* capsule

not unlike the knives of a cupping Instrument they scarify tho capsule on Its side*

Few subjects are Attracting more genera)

as a preventive. He regards Its use as a

with the use of vaccine matter as a preventive of smallpox.   He Argues:
"By taking arsenic we nre actually occupying the space And place demanded by the

vantage ground upon which to plant Hi
guns for cramping the adversary. Under

"Kisses," said Recks solemnly. "10 on
'em."
"Kisses," repeated Sbelah vacantly. In
Midden fury he snatched tbe paper and
doubling it in a ball threw it far over the
waves.
"Now," said Reeks as he jumped out,
"I'll stow away, lad. Go you up to the
'Ship.' It's about time you and Jen came
to uu ondorstnudln. Pluck up, Shelah, and
remember there's alius ways an means of
winniii a woman." lie winked and nodded.
Sbelah slowly descended the mound and
walked toward the tun. The "Ship's" sign
could be seen long before the inn. Within
a few paces of tbe sign Sbelah halted. He
could hear a horse's hoofs pawing the
ground. He was soon regaled with a little
' whistling, then tbe softly hummed verse of
a song.   \
There next sounded some loud laughter,
a step ou tbe tiled path of tbe inn, then the
ainger spoke.
"I drink your health, my charmer," he
aald, "lu tho Rlvlngton brew." After tbat
he spoke lower, but the words reached She-
lab's ears:
"Vou got my note, Jenny, but you never
enme.   Why wns that?"
"I was afraidl And, oh, what wonld
fat in r say if he knew that you sent me that
note witb all those—those"— The musical
voice ended suddenly.
"Kisses, Jenny*" finished the horseman.
"Well, I don't know. I don't particularly
care. I.ovc Is altogether reckless. And for
you, my gypsy, I would risk anything
Now tell me, Jenny, when can you meet
me alone? It is a small favor for a lover to
ask.   Wben shall It be?"
Jenny was silent
"Jenny," said the rider seriously, "do you
lovo me?"
Holding bis breath, Shelah waited for the
answer.   It was inaudible.
"Come a littlo closer, Jenny," said the
horseman guyly; "kisses on paper are uotb
ing to kisses in"	
"Hush!" cried Jenny; "some one .scorning!"
lt was Sbelah. He rounded the corner In
tlmetoseoMr, Cyril Rlvingtonridlngaway.
With his head bowed, Shelah crossed the
threshold of thu Inn door. He was met Inside by a pretty, brown cheeked girl, whose
fuco hnd u heightened and rather unusual
bloom. At sight of Shelah she looked disconcerted.
"Jen, lass," ho said, "I want to apeak to
you.   I want to ask you aomethln."
"Well, theu," said Jenny, "Bay it quick.
What Is it?"
"It's this," said Shelah, and hi* voice
shook a little. "We ha' been sweetheartln
for n loug time, and I wnnt to know when
we are going to get married, Jen?"
"Never," sho said softly.
"Never?" ho repeated huskily.
"I should only make you wretched. 1
want you to give me up—to forget me, Sbelah."
"Give you up, Jen! Give you up, missl
Give up my life-ask me for that, Jen, but
don't ask me to give you up, sweetheart,
for I do bo love you, my dear,"
Jenny's lips quivered, and htr eye* began
to fill with tears, but she kept her face tc
tho window.
"It would break my heart to marry you,"
she said, "for I love some one else."
"You love some one else?" said Sbelah
mechanically,
"Yes, anil be Is going lo many me. So,
you see, Shelab, it would be wrong for me
to marry you. 1 should be always miserable, and wretched, and 1 should make you
miserable and wretched, too, so please, dear
Shelah, let me go and—and forget me."
White and still sat Shelah; then heavily
and wearily he rose. Jenny uncovered hor
face for a moment. At the sight of his she
hid il again.
"Forget yon, lass," he aald, "I nevei
can." Moved perhaps by the thought of
what might huve been, be leaned down
nnd gently pressed bis lips to her forehead.
"Hut if giving you up, hiss," he proceeded huskily, "will make you happy, why
Jen"—there was nn agonising ring in his
voico—"why, I give you up."
When she looked around again, he wns
gone,
All tbat night ft froze bard, nnd the calm
sea lay moaning like a dog on Its chain.
Shelah heard it ns he stood in the lonely
sentry box of the lifeboat lookout.
Ah usual Shelah culled nt the "Ship" for
Tom Reeks Ho had barely entered when
he beard u horse's hoofs on the bard rond.
A horseman reined up at thu Inn, and Shelab drew back into tho shadow.
"Shelah!" It was Jenny who spoke. Sbe
stood, white nud trembling, on the cellar
Steps.   "Will—will you take him this?"
.Strangely fascinated at being called upon
for such nn act, Shelah took from bur the
measure of sparkling ale,and like a man In
a dream carried it to tbu door. With his
bead down be walked up to tbe rider.
A loud "Ham!" caused him to start nnd
lookup. Instead of the youngbrewer.be
was facing tbe old one.
"No, my man," hu wild, "I don't care for
Anything uh curly as this. If you'll have
the goodness to bold my horse while I dismount-I want to see the landlord. Is be
In?"
illylllgton, Sr.. was a pleasant, chatty
old gentleman, nnd be soon disclosed the
object of his visit. A ball was going to be
held at Hcrrlngbotirne town hall, and be
wasdistrlbuting invitations to such of his
tenants as choose to attend. Ah he was
passing--quite by accident, he assured
them—ho felt be ought not to miss the
landlord of tho "Ship." There were the
tickets, and he hoped that Reeks and hla
daughter would attend.
"I forgot to mention," he said blandly,
as Reeks, after expressing his thanks, took
them up, "that this ball is to be held in
honor of my son Cyril's marriage. He ia
to be married this week to tbe daughter of
a very old friend of mine—a man of Kent."
Aa bo finished, a low sobbing cry startled
all but Shelab. A beer warmer had rattled to the floor, and Jenny stood vacantly
staring intoa littlelakeof tbespllledliquid
at her feet
"Why, what's the matter, lass?" said
Reeks, "you look as white as a ghost."
"Nothing, father," she answered faintly,
"nothing only the heat of the fire."
Sbelah Baxter came out of the "Ship"
and walked aimlessly down to hla boat.
The surf was boiling on the Scroby, and
great rollers with foaming crests were racing in and tumbling upon the sunlighted
beach.
He stood awhile Absently watching the
little fountains which their recoil left bubbling in the sand, then mounted the tall
hillock to look for Reeks. On the top he
started, and his tan cheeks grew pale.
At the base of the mound by a dwarf
clump of furze sat a girl sobbing violently.
She waa Jenny Reeks. He descended the
side she was on and gently touched her
■houlder.
Through her tear brimmed eyes sbe looked
tnto bia face. Not a word of reproach.
Only in bis eyes was the lovo tbat had been
ao constant and true.
With a little catching of her breath, Jenny rose and drew back. Theu, with a convulsive cry, she flung ber arms wildly
around his neck, and there sbe aobbeu until sbe could sob no more. When tbey went
back to tbe "Ship," Reeks met them at the
door Something in their attitude made
him softly whistle. It seemed as if Shelab
bad taken bis advice and plucked up at
last.—Chambers' Journal.
Cured by at Diet ot lleana.
Charley Haywood, the welt known commercial traveler, tells the following story
of hia remarkable cure without medicine:
He had been very ill for several weeks,
and the attending physicians gave up all
hope of hia recovery, the symptoms being
more and more unpromising dny by day.
The Information waa imparted to hia wife
that Charley waa past all remedial aid, but
the plucky little lady would bear none of
It and gave them to understand tbat if
their scientific skill had been exhausted she
Intended to try the magnetic powers of an
old fellow who lives in the western part of
this city. He had performed many remarkable cures after regular physicians had
failed, and although bearing the sobriquet
of the "dirty doctor" he waa sent for, and
without making any examination of the
patient inquired about the diet already prescribed, and also asked whether hla food
waa digested with comfort when eaten.
"No," said Charley, "the doctor won't
let me have what I want, and the stuff I
havo l>een forced to eat doea me no good."
This was apparent aa he waa reduced to a
perfect skeleton. "What do you want to
eat," asked hia new physician.
"Means, nothing but beans," waa the reply.
"You can have all yon want," aald the
doctor, and aoine baked beans were ordered
immediately.
Tbe effect was magical. Tbe nervous system tbat hud been wrought up to such a
disordered condition rapidly changed in
character, and After a few days' diet on
beans alone Charley waa convalescent, despite the diagnosis of the learned sesculft-
plnns, nnd Charley Is today one of tbe
brightest and most active men In the city.

COST OF CRIMINAL TRIALS.
Of lute yoars on this continent
nf Nnrili Amorloa thp charge upon
the State lor the conviction, of persons guilty of gross crimen has
rciiclicil extravagant proportions.
Tlio vilest   criniiiiiil cun always;
nnd means pf pushing his defence
|o ii limit Unit formerly would not
have been tolerated, nml ns ti rule
.Ihe more monstrous Ihe crime, the
greater    the    charge    and    the
moro  diflicult  to convict,    Wit-
nesB the hugp expenses that nre nt
Ihe present time being piled up in
courscof the trial of purantln Sim
Francisco; nnd in (his Province,
a yenr or so niio, the cost of the
trial of Stroebel amounted ton tnx
out of all proportion to tlie public
revenue,   '('his is not to say that
Ihe expense should not be incurred
if necessary to secure the conviction
pf the guilty, but it is to say that
there is something radically wrong
in the system which render*' such
heavy charges necessary.   A little
further development in the same
Jinp will muke the trial of criminals
an  unbearable  burden upon the
State, if indeed it 1ms not already
reached thnt stage.
The old saying Unit "it is better
j score of the guilty should escape
than one innocent person be pun
islied," hns no doubt a good den! to
do witli the opportunities thnt nre
now offered to the guilty of escaping, anfjpf mnking the lnwrabiding
public pay extravagantly for dar-
hig to  interfere with  the vicious.
No doubt thp old snying appeals to
the kind hpart, but it is none the
less in exact opposition U> the fundamental nnd constant purpose of
Criminal law, tlie  sole intent nf
jvliich is in protect f-ociety.   Leaving out thp promptings of benevolence, and viewing Ibe matter with
Judicial  coldness, the  punishment
of one innocent is of less conse-
rjuenca to  society (Jinn  the escape
of one guilty.   In tlie case of the
grosser crimes jt is immeasurably
go, for while the capital punishment of an innocent man would be
a   cause   of regret   only   to the
general public, the escape of a man
of crime would lie a   menace to
(hat spine public; ami moreover
(be new crime of tlie escaped criminal might readily enough result in
vastly more hardship to innocent
parties than could pertain in the
ease of l|ie well-intended but mis-
(ii ken legal punishment of the innocent person we are presuming.
While presenting this hard view
of the interest of society in regard
to crime, it is, of course, fur from
our intention of advocating that
zeal for )he conviction of the guilty
should be permitted to weaken the
proper safeguards of the innocent,
though things ns harsh are doubtless known Jo existing judicature.
Hut tlie Length to which the business is being carried in the other
found a lclter from Mr. It. A.
Hratlci'., of Langley Prairie, com-
plaining of the arrangement made
by the postal authorities for supplying that important settlement
with mail facilities. Mr. Jlrndeii
doos not say whether the other
postofheefl in southern Lunglcy nre
aifectod by the faulty arrangement,
ul. no doubt thoy nro to some extent at least. The oholoe of Friday
as publication, day for Suuiiky
TlMKB whs decided upon entirely
with ii view to promptly reaching
Ihe more distant postoliiceB of Surrey and Langley, all of which, we
believe, receive mails on Saturday,
It is only very Inlely that we have
learned tluvt our mail for Langley
municipality, which leaves here
by Friday's train and arrives at
Fqrt Lapgloy on Saturday, remains
over there till tho following Tuesday. We havo tlio consolation of
knowing, however, that other weekly papers, though published on other days, havo to submit to the same
delay.
The position   is that   Langley
Prairie has three mails  a week,
Tuesday, Thursday nnd Saturday,
an arrangement that is perfectly
satisfactory to the people served.
The service is from Fort Langley,
which has a daily mail,   Now, the
Langley I'rairie mail is forwarded
at noon, whereas the dajly mail
does  not reach Fort  Langley till
evening, so that one day's mail for
thp southern offices is necessarily
held over.    M". llraden contends
that the Langley  Prairie carrier
shoujd be timed so ns to take with
him tliiv latest mail, and tlu) advantage is so manifest, that oue
can hardly account at iirst (or it
being overlooked in a service so
careful of public convenience
that of thp postal department. The
explanation probably is, that if the
dispatching of the Langley Prairie
curripr was dphiyed ti|l evening it
would not then be practicable to
reach the more distant postoflices
of the municipality that day,
Then is there any remedy for the
state of things complained of ?
Certainly therp is. The distunce
from thp distributing office of Fort
Langley to Langley Prairie is the
same as from thp latter to the distributing office of Cloverdale. The
Great Northern railway carries the
mail to Cloverdnle, and the train
is due daily at 10.30 a. m. Hence
Langley Prairie and subject offices
could hp served from here at the
same hour and at (he same charge
as nt present, will) (he very impor
tant difference that no Langley
mail would be held over at the
Cloverdale office. Another very
important consideration is that the
service to Langley Prairie from
here would lie available at all seasons, whilp the Fort Langley service is interfered with hy ice in
winter and high water in summer,
to the serious inconvenience of the
Langley public.
Tin; fruit output ol British Columbia will soon roach considerable
proportions^   The many thousands
of trees that have been sot mil during the last several  years aro now
coming Into bearing, wilh constantly increasing profu'spnoSB, nnd every season   other   thousands of
young  trees  are   boing  planted,
The one inducement 16 thi.-; groat
extension of fruit-growing in 11, C.
was, nnd |s. tho prospoot of n satis-
lactory market in   the  adjoining
Canadian  territories of the Northwest, iho  populations   ot  whioh
must necessarily look beyond thoir
own borders for their fruit supply
because of Inability lo produce it
themselves on account of cjimntic
conditions.    That    tho   prospect
built upon by the fruit cullurists of
this Province is likely to prove a
judicious one, is matter for general
congratulation.    Within tho last
few weeks several car-loads of 15. C.
fruit have been fnyornbly received
as far east ns Winnipeg, and it
may bo said that the'prospective
market has been fairly taken possession of by our orchardists.   It
remains now to hold it, and there
should bo no difficulty in this, if
care bo taken  in thp selection of
fruit and the handling of it. provided, of course, thnt a possible
ascendancy of free trade doctrine
does notppen t|io territory to Amer- j
loan growers, to lie made a Blaught
er market of for surplus produco, as
was the case on  thi*   cnifst  last
winter with hay and potatoes notwithstanding a moderate protective
tariff.

St. Jphn's Nfjd., Aug. 22.-:-The
expected stoppage of the railway
by French warships causes great
excitement here. It is felt ' that
tliis is a cruicial point where England must make a determined
stand against French aggression or
else sacrifice Newfoundland's prosperity which chiefly depends upon
the development of her interna} resources niade available by the
completion of the railroad. Premier Whiteway has startgd for
Bay of Islands, where trouble is
expected to arise. The British
gunboat Buzzard leaves to-morrow
to re-inforce the flagship Cleopatra,
now near the disputed coast. Considerable correspondence is taking
place between the local Ministry
and tlie Salisbury Government rer
lating to the matter. England's
course is watched wjth anxiety.

certgin, he said, in the victory of
his party at the polls at the next
election. He had no information
to give about the reconstruction of
the Cabinet made necessary by the
retirement of Hon. Mr. Angers.
The rumor that he hud been closeted
with Lieut.-Governor Chapleau at
the Falls, on political matter*, was
untrue. He merely happened to
be there when the Chapleau party
was there. If a deputation went

during the flood, a year ago lust
June, by the capsizing of a boat.
The hend and both arms were
gone, but several witnesses were
able to swear to the boots and

London, Aug. 22.—A statement

finances has just been issued. It
shows his liabilities to he £3,591,
with no available assets. His insolvency is ascribed by him to the
failure of his action for libel
against the Marquis of Queensberry,
who is now a petitioning creditor,
seeking the payment of the costs of
his defence, which the court ordered Wilde to pay. Wilde's income
has averaged £2,000 a year, chiefly
derived from his literary and dramatic works. He has been insolvent two yeurs, his expenditures
having greatly exceeded his income,
