Ever wondered at its meaning, when it's sounded faint and small Over mountain, lake and prairie, over city, park and street? Yes, I think you've heard its calling, for it never dies away- One time fuller, one time fainter, sometimes soft, then clanged But the thing for you to notice is that always, strange to say, Its effect upon your senses just depends alone on you.

For we hold a gift from Heaven, priceless soil and priceless sea, Wealth untold in ore and timber, plenteous rain and plenteous sun, We inherit God's Own Country, free as His own winds are free; 3ut we're only just beginning, or at best we've just begun: All the work lies yet before us, all the work is here to do- Work that cries aloud for men and cries for no one but the best. Do not wait if you have heard it���������there is need for such as you; You're a man! Oh, come and answer to the Calling from the West. "7". HIGH FINANCE (Prof. E. Odium, M.A.rB.Sc.) It is a fact that Home-Payne spoke wisely some time ago when he made strong and pointed reference to over-borrowing by n\any Canadian municipalities. Canadian cities, towns, villages, townships, and other municipalities have run mad in borrowing. The time has come for a different course to be accepted and pursued. The Western spirit is to drive the forward movemenVto financial death. This spirit says, let us have cities finished in every respect and be made as perfect as are these cities which are 100, 200, or 2,000 years old. Hence they run to the money market, and then run again for more money in an insane andr most unreasonable manner. They forget that all this borrowed money is a first mortgage on our cities and on the inhabitants thereof. Let jis have a change. We can Walk a while, and late*'on % the running act. The Yankee who "struck oil" and became rich, wished his daughter tb get education. But the teacher said she had not the ability. His answer was, "Then buy her one. 1 have struck oil, and have the money." So these men who are the Western city builders say, when told that, this or that city is not as far forward as Aberdeen, or Liverpool, or London- then buy the difference. If it be a difference in sewers, or pavements or parks, or buildings or aught else, then buy the difference. We can borrow the amount. Let the other fellow pay the piper. But the rule is that the borrowers are the piper- payers in the end. Horne-Payne did wisely to say to Canadians in general, go slowly and borrow less. Of course he also says, and knows his sayings to be true, viz., that the Canadian cities and towns are able to pay every dollar they have borrowed. And yet there is a limit, and I say fearlessly that Ave, most of our cities, have gone as far forward in per capita debt as is wise. Let us halt, and take stock of the tremendous sinking- fund and interest tax we have loaded upon ourselves and our posterity. There is no fierce rush into further debt necessary. Then save the ever-increasing financial burdens being piled upon our people. In fact the time has come when, at the civic polls, there should be a determined body of economizers found in the field for aldermanic positions. We pride ourselves in being economical in our private business���������let us have a similar pride in the business of the public. For as surely as we rob the public by any means, we rob ourselves. And in the results of the robbery the poor are sure to suffer worse than the others. I say this because so many of the everyday workers seem ready to vote for anything that brings in temporary money, even though the act mortgages the best units of their earning powers. This is a serious mistake. ACADEMIC POLITICS. The worst feature of the press of today is, perhaps, the constant espousal of the academic spirit and custom. The newspapers seem to adopt too largely the idea, false as Satan is false, that "All is fair in love and war." This is a huge lie, as every thinking man must admit. And the war of the politician is constant, so much so, that to adopt and use the false ideal is to make it a daily occurrence. This then becomes the habit of the writer until he seems unable to write on any matter honestly and seriously, so long as there is a political phase conjoined to the question being' commented upon. The political press of the day is dishonest to an alarming extent. It is a national and an individual curse, a disease, a polemic scab, to be cut out as soon es possible. Of course in some cases the disease is worse than in others. Some editors are so debauched politically that they are unfitted to tell the truth, and they know this to be a fact. In addition the reading public are disgusted with the course pursued by these political liars and defamers of honest, public- spirited men. 4- There are four, Indian Reserves bordering on the Harbor of Vancouver���������Kitsilano, Capilano, Seymour and Mission Reserves. The question which confronts the citizens of this district, and which must have an answer, is what shall be done with these Reserves'? It is evident to all who give the subject thought that they cannot be left as at present; they are not suitable locations for the Indians, being too close ' to the city, therefore we ask, what shall be done with themf Some have suggested that we sell them to private interests; others would turn them over to railways, but in our opinion it is imperative that these four Reserves be retained for public purposes, to be administered by the Harbor Board for the Dominion Government. We have one of the finest natural harbors in the world, out practically all the waterfront is owned by private interests; it is therefore necessary to secure all the property^ possible ior public use. These four Reserves present themselves especially to this purpose. The Public Works Department of Ottawadecided last year to construct a large public dock on the Mission Reserve in North Vancouver and would by now have had the work actually under way had the Provincial Government not taken the action which it did to secure the Kitsilano Reserve; which action has had the result of '' retarding the work of harbor development in Vancouver. We do not desire to allege that the Provincial Government intended to interfere with harbor work but, unfortunately, that has been the net result. hast year definite action was taken at Ottawa to,secure,for harbor purposes both Kitsilano and Mission Reserves. In regard to Kitsilano, the Indians were dealt with and everything arranged satisfactorily, when the Province stepped in and, at the cost of $300,000, bought up the Indians and induced them (to leave the Reserve. It was their intention at first to "open up" this Reserve, but upon strong protests being made from Ottawa, no action was taken and they, the Provincial Government, are now simply "sitting tight." The question arises as to tvhat rights the Province have, if anyf It is claimed that they have "reversionary interest." That is, when the Reserve is required no longer as such it reverts to the Province. Now examine this claim for a moment. The Dominion Government is the trustee of the Indians and holds all lands in trust for them. "Reserves" have been set aside for the bands or tribes of Indians, and as long as there is a member of such tribe or band living, the trust must necessarily continue; the Indians, except in some isolated cases, are increasing in numbers, consequently the possibility of any tribe becoming extinct is very remote, and the likelihood of the "reversionary" powers of the Province coming into force is equally remote. It therefore follows in natural sequence that the value of the Provincial rights in Indian Reserves is very slight. The Attorney-General, however presents another claim, viz.: that if the Indians "abandon" a Reserve, the title reverts to the Province. Let us examine this contention and judge of the result should it be accepted. If this latter claim is correct all that would be necessary for the Province to do would be to pay the Indians a sum of money, or otherwise induce them to leave a Reserve and, presto, it would become the property of the Province. But, as already stated, the Indian is the "ward" of the Dominion, and has no legal right to dispose of property. If money is paid to the Indian without the consent of the trustee (the Dominion Government) it is at the risk of the party who pays it and, should the trustee disapprove the act, any such monies would carry no legal claim and would'be forfeited. Another effect which might justty be anticipated would be a disregard, on the part of the Indians, of the jurisdiction and authority of the Dominion Government. Evidence of this has already been given by the Indians of the Capilano Reserve who, upon witnessing the result of the bargain made by the Kitsilano Indians, asked the Provincial Government to deal with them for Capilano in a similar manner, at the same time expressing dissatisfaction with their legally constituted trustee. Another question which arises out of this discussion is. why did the Dominion Government not take steps to buy out the Indians? They did do so, and had negotiations to a point of completion, and would have consummated the bargain had it not been for a written agreement which was entered into between the two Governments last November to the effect that neither parties would take any -action in regard to any reserve until the Commission Indian affairs had been appointed and the matter referred to them for solution. This agreement was signed by Sir Richard McBride on behalf of the Provincial Government and by Dr. McKenna, representing the Dominion Government. The Ottawa authorities were quite ready to take the necessary action, but felt in honor bound to observe this agreement. The Commission was at that time (March) about to be named. ��������� There can be no difference of opinions as to the desirability or removing the Indians from these Reserves; that point needs no defense, but the disposition of the Reserves is a matter of supreme importance and no chances can be taken. We must retain those Reserves for the use of the Harbor Board. All that remains to be done is for the Province to relinquish its rights, if any, to the Harbor Board for a sum equivalent to that given, or for a reasonable amount. No difficulty should be experienced in reaching a decision on this point in view of the fact that Reserves are only being transferred from one public authority to another. It is not necessary to estimate or demand the uttermost value; nor should technical questions of title be forced into the question. The citizens want action. The harbor must be developed. To do this we must have these Reserves. The Dominion Government is prepared to act: it is now up to the Province. Hon. OUR MINISTER OF MILITIA (Prof. E. Odium, M.A., B.Sc,) ..;...��������� \ . - -. . -A y The Hon. the Colonel Sam Hughes has taken a very practical, logical, and manly course in handling the drink question in connection with the volunteer and general militia forces of the Dominion. He has the spirit to enforce the laws relative to the canteen, and drink at functions. The truth of the matter is there are. too many underlings in office who are in for a good time, and who do not take the business of the militia, seriously enough. They like to be young official drunks, and official snobs v rather than to be serious and zealous in their work. The Minister ^l^litia is right in saying V> these fellows, either attend to your work and calling in a manly; straightforward manner, or, get out of the rinta. Intoxicating drinks are . "taboo,"; andy*fv3^ think yon will continue drunkard-making custom in Canada while I am in authority you sh^UiaU down like lightning The sound semae 'of Canadians is with the Minister, and will back him np in his course. The old offieiol topers and soaks have had their day. It is time that the military ranks be cleaned out of drunks, and the public, especially parents of the young fellows who go out to drill, will hail the change. During the Boer war one of the British officers had a number of soldiers under bim and was out observing the doings of some Boers who were on a distant hill-top. He was so drunk that he could not sit on his horse. He ordered a dismount, and all hands got down to rest, so to speak. A chance came to make a hit at the Boers, who were growing rather daring. The officer was too drunk to see, or give orders. Another who had little official standing determined to act and gave orders to fire. The effect was a scampering of the enemy to a more distant hill. Had not the man with eyes and a sober head taken the matter in hand, and had he Waited for the drunken officer to act, it is hard to say what would have happened. There are too many men in the ranks as well as in higher positions who do much harm under the continued influence of drink. In the Hon. Colonel Sam Hughes we have a rflan with a clear head, an upright spirit, and as fearless as he is honest. Hence the old and young topers must stop short or stop altogether, so far as the Canadian permanent or volunteer force of Canada is concerned. Honor to our Minister of Militia. ARCHBISHOP BEUCHESI APOLOGIZES Last week I had occasion to refer to this noted arclibishop, and said that if he did not change, lie would find the spirited French-Canadian rise up and rebel against his power and interference. Well, this lias come to pass, so far that the archbishop has felt it necessary to send a written apology to Gonzalve Desaulniers, K. C, leader of the Montreal Bar. The quarrel caine about owing to the urgent demand of the French laity for a better quantity of sane and up-to-date education. Desaulniers is on the side of this educational improvement, and Archbishop Bruchesi is where his noble clerical brethren are mostly found. Hence the clash, and the foolish course pursued by the high cleric, with his quick repentance, his conversion, and his apology. .+ *'*������**.**...������..***....

On Monday evening, at the Grand- view Methodist Church, under the auspices of the Epworth League Citizen, ship Department, Mrs. Ralph Smith addressed a large and attentive audience on "The Woman's Right to Vote." This was woman' age, said Mrs. Smith. It was only ln this century that woman had found herself. All these years she had lived.a life of repression and suppression. It was only during the last half century sbe had awakened to the fact that she had power hitherto undreamed of. Nothing had been too bad to say of the pioneers; they had been mocked at, scoffed at whenever they had passed an opinion, but education had done a great deal to right this impression. The change was also partly due to woman having to go out and work for themselvea. Before, they used to work in the home, weaving, spinning, sewing, etc. Home afforded protection, but when they got out, they realized the hardships and Injustices they had to contend with. The vote was wanted for the better protection of the home, for the protection of those we loved. Mrs. Smith then scathingly denounced the laws of this province, concerning the legal guardianship of children. A mother ln this province ls not the legal guardian of her child. If the huband bo wills, he can hand over the care of his child to anyone. That law was framed at a time when there were few women in the province and white men were marrying Indian women. It is a law still, and the present agitation was an effort to get equal guardianship. The attorney-general had himself confess' ed in an interview last February, that tbe laws as relating to women were the worst he knew of anywhere. The Property and Marriage Law also received attention. With regard to the latter. Mrs. Smith said tbat ln this province a girl could marry at the age of 12 years, and it was perfectly within the right of a father to give his child away at tbat age to whoever he liked, and the child's mother could have no say in the matter. This bad been done. A case appeared in the papers not long ago, and what had happened would happen again while a law like that remained on the Statute Book. The vote was the greatest weapon man had and women feel that if they had the ballot, they would see that the men who sought public honors and public positions would give to women full justice. There were numerous vices, which, were there laws to govern them, people would be afraid to perpetrate. Mrs. Smith said the time worn, threadbare arguments about "Who would rock the cradle and darn the socks" had vantshed. It was the intelligent woman, the intelligent mother who was really the best housewife. We should only have a strong national life, as we had a strong home life, and it was only possible to bave a strong home life, by strong protection, and it was only possible to have strong protection by tbe alteration of the laws as related. Women would ask of politicians, were they going to be a credit to tbe community, were their lives to be worthy of emulation. Are you ashamed of a womanhood like that, said Mrs. Smith. She thought the day was not far distant when the franchise would be extended. Already one of the parties in this province had made it a plank in their platform. A clever retort had been given to a man who asked "Who is to look after your baby while you go to vote" "The one who looks after him when I go to pay my taxes," was the quick response. Taxation without representation was a crime. Young men of 21 were not asked their abilities or capabilities or what their character was. A woman might be clever and a saint, yet she was deprived. She herself was in favor of Manhood suffrage, because it gave the young man responsibilities of citizenship and there was nothing nobler to feel and live up to than that. Women wanted to go a step further than do the housekeeping in the home. They wanted to assist in the National Housekeeping. Give your sisters and wives and mothers the chance to talk about these things with you. Tou will be surprised to learn how much they already know of these things. You can do nothing better. Mrs. Smith's *S**j*-I**$*-^'*l**l*4*^**2*^**l|*l,*l*ll||l'|l,|l',l|il'*l'|ll'l'll address was listened to with great attention and was frequently punctuated with applause, and its termination waB marked by a generous outburst of clapping. During the evening Mrs. Frank Davies sang Gounod's solo "O Divine Redeemer" very beautifully, and it was greatly appreciated. Miss Meek proved an afficlent accompanist. On Saturday last Miss Alberta Dickey, 372 8th Ave. E., was the hostess of a miscellaneous shower given in honor of Miss Ella Sparling, who will be married ln August. A pleasing feature of the afternoon was the presentation of a life-size figure of the bride, who was brought in to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March and presented to the future bride, with a request that she search the figure and discover the treasures hidden therein. Dainty refreshments were served, and a very enjoyable time was spent. Among those present were: Mrs. N. Dickey, Miss Katie Chappell, Miss Florence Roberts, -Mrs. L. Edraanson, Miss Edna Baker, Mrs. D. McDonald, Miss Edna Dickey, Mrs. R. Sparling, Miss Lorna Baker, Mrs. J. A. Cowle, Miss A. McGregor, Mr. F. C. Roberts, Miss Grace Taylor, Mrs. A. Keeler, Miss Edna Klnch, Miss Vera Domoney, Miss Luella Reamy, Miss Jessie Meadows. ' The Granview W. C. T. TJ. held a lawn social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McLaren, 1002 Woodland Drive, last Tuesday. The spacious verandah was prettily decorated with sweet peas and Chinese lanterns. Mrs. Robinson, a representative from the West End Union, spoke on the work of the W. C. T. U. and its relation to "Willard Lodge," and Mrs. Macken gave .a stirring address emphasizing the great need of mothers and fathers keeping in close touch with their children. Mr. Napolene Ghedini, evangelist of the Italian Mission was introduced and spoke for a short time on the need of temperance work, closing with the remark that he expected to edit an Italian paper and wished the co-operation of the W. C. T. U. In making it a success. Mrs. Livingstone, field organ! zer for British Columbia, spoke on the need of unity and of being ruled by the spirit of Christian love in thiB work. Instrumental music was rendered by Miss Smith, Mrs. Swindell and Miss E. Smith. Ice cream and cake were served and a very enjoyable evening brought to a close. Rev. F. Lett, pastor of Grandview Methodist Church will he leaving for bis holidays soon. The pulpit will be supplied by Rev. Stapleford.

I have been interested in reading the report of the greeting of the Roman Catholic laity of this city to the Papal Legate of Canada, and should like to take exception to some of the statements made on that occasion. In the first place the expression of Dr. Barrett, of Winnipeg, was out of placed when he called the recent parade of the Orangemen "an .expression of intolerance and bigotry. Had he been witnessing a parade of those arch hooligans. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, no doubt he would have given expression ta a very different sentimen. His Excellency the Papal Legate could not help using that pet phrase of Roman Catholics, "Schools from which God had. been expelled," when referring to our non-sectarian public schools. It is a well-known fact that the Roman Catholics were the ones who were strongest in objecting to the reading of the Bible, even without comment, in the public schools. I learned recently of a case where the Lords Prayer had been repeated daily for the past seventy-five years in the public schools of Massachusetts, and this last year, when for the first time the Catholics got a majority on the school board, the repeating .of that beautiful prayer was prohibited. "Godless public schools"! Wbat an irreverent and absurd expression. Those who use it must have a narrow antropomorphic conception of the Deity in whom we live and move and have our being, wben they assert that He has absented Himself from the schools Just because the Church of Rome la not in control of them. He��������� the Legate���������says, "Por many years the Roman Catholic Church was the sole educating factor of the world." I admit that during the Dark Ages the monks did keep the lamp of learning feebly burning in the monasteries, but the people outside received very Uttle of it, for there were many, even among the aristocracy who could neither read nor write. In the early centuries, the Church rigidly set its face against the education of the people. The disgraceful pillage^ in 389 by Bishop Theophilus is one'lnstnce of that hatred of secular learning, and another occurred . twenty-six years later, when tbat talented young woman, Hpatla. was murdered. She was giving lectures at tbe great Alexandrian University. She was taken from her chariot by the NItrian monks, dragged into the church, where she was stripped naked and cruelly murdered with clam shells, and her body finally burned piecemeal. This was at tbe instigation of Cyrlll, Bishop of Alexandria. Draper, In his excellent work, "The Intellectual Development of Europe," clearly proves that it Is to the Saracens we owe the revival of learning in Europe. While it Is true that the Church of Rome acquiesced ln or aided in tbe foundation of a number of universities, yet that Church never did make an effort to establish elementary schoolb for the common people. It was not until tbe northern nations of Europe threw off the yoke of the Papacy that there began the development of the excellent system of elementary education which they now enjoy, and in that development it has always had to combat the interference and intolerance of the Church of Rome. How about Italy, Spain and Portugal? Did those countries, while under the thraldom of the Church of Rome, organize a system ot free schools for the common people? Italy and Portugal both had to break away from Romish rule before they could attempt to establish such schools. Hia Excellency referred to the Edict of Milan, which was published 313 by the Emperor ConBtantine and Ldcinius making Christianity a legal religion, but it was not until near the end of tfce fourth century under the Emperor Theodosius the Great that orthodox Christianity, which stood upon the platform adopted at Nieca in 325, was made the sole official religion of the State, thus making the first union of Church and State. After that it was not long until the Church declared the Infallibility of the Episcopate. The Roman Episcopate developed into the Papacy. It was not until the sixth century that the Roman Church became an absolute yoke upon Chisten- dom. It was then that St. Agustine in his work, "De Civitatis Dei," identified the Church with the Kingdom of God and claimed it was supreme over all the nations of! the earth. Since then the Church ot Rome has claimed a monopoly of all things, even to the presence of God in our public schools. How much better it might have been for humanity if the Church had taken the Beatitudes for a constitution and established Itself nearer the Master's ideal. Jesus taught that the Kingdom of Heaven is a spiritual Kingdom and its numbers can only be those wh<* walk in the way of righteousness and love. We cannot play at being Christians, for it is an affair of the heart- and not of church rites and ceremonies. The ideal of Jesus was to bring every man's Individuality to perfection, and not make, him a little cog in a huge machine. The Roman Catholic Church is nothing more nor less than a great machine that not only would like to have charge of all modern education, but alms at subjugating man's reason and robbing him of his individuality. I seriously doubt whether men trained in the Catholic Church make as good citizens as Protestants. "By their fruits ye shall know them." I am convinced that separate schools tend to make less desirable citizens of both Protestants and Catholics, for there is a tendency to develop and foster prejudice which makes narrower and leBB capable men. However, there ls a fundamental difference between a Roman Catholic and a ProteBtant: the former owes his allegiance to the Church, the latter directly to God. The Papal Legate says he Is thankful to God for the liberty of the Church under the British Government; but surely the Roman Catholics are making poor use of ^thelr liberties in trying to rend asunder the common school system of our fair province.

Mot Point Iron Electric Stove A Great Japanese ipjrmifui-jiver The Honorable Ebara, member of the House ot Peers ln Japan, was in the City of Vancouver last week, snd received much attention by the Japanese, residents as well as by the Hon. Mr. Hori, Consul for Japan. ��������� Wednesday, p.m.���������Mr. Ebara was the guest of the Japanese Methodist Church, of wbicb tbe Reverend Mr. Kanassawa is tbe pastor. At tbat function tbere were present to do the guest honor, tbe Rev. Doctor Whlttington, Rev. Doctor Crummy, Rev, Doctor Osterhaut, Professor Odium, and others In addition to the membership of the church. Luncheon was enjoyed on tbe following day at the home of the Japanese Consul, Mr. Hori, on Davie St. At the table there were the Hon. Mr. Ebara; bis interpreter, Mr. Varna- moto; Mr. Hatori, M. P. for Okayama; Mr. Hori, the Japanese Consul; Mr. Watanabe, the Assistant Consul for Vancouver; the Rev. Kanazawa, Rev. Dr. Whlttington, Rev. Dr. Crummy, Rev. Dr. McKay and Professor Odium. After a splendid repast the Honorable Mr. Ebara made an excellent address on the ancient and modern history of Japan. His speech was given in Ja panese. and interpreted by Mr. Yama- moto. On behalf of the guests -of the Consul, Professor Odium was called on for a reply to the historic deliverance, and spoke highly of the Japanese nation and people. In the evening there was a mass meeting of the Japanese community in the Orange Hall, which was packed to the doors. The President of the Japanese Association gave an excellent address of welcome to the Honorable Mr. Ebara and his companions. Then Mr. Yamamoto spoke for about half an hour and gave good advice, as well as some current history of the doings of his people in the States.. Then the member for Okayama spoke for three-quarters of an hour, and made a splendid speech. He is an able platform speaker. After Mr. Hatori, M. P., finished, the Hon.' Mr. Ebara gave one of tbe finest addresses one could desire. It was given in the most perfect Japanese, and might be called poetic prose. The Immense audience sat patiently from 7 p.m. until after 10 p.m., and seemed ready to sit all night if necessary. From the Orange Hall the travellers went to the C. P. R. docks to catch the steamer for Victoria so as to connect for Seattle.

I made no attempt to pass be* jrond the limits, but, from statements of the dragoon, and various officers jwlth whom I conversed, mapped In ry mind the entire scheme of defense, visited a number of these encampments, finding ln each' merely a small guard retained for the day, the majority of the troops being off on liberty. IBoon after noon these began to throng Ithe water front, eager to view the looming spectacle. I was, myself, ln fthe Yager's camp, finishing a late Sunch, with a few officers, when the -announcement came that the water procession had started. CHAPTER III. The Fete and Mlachlsnxa. ; . I confess that up to this time I hsd (experienced little Interest In the af* jtalr. After Valley Forge It was hard for an American soldier to admire such boys' play, or to enter Into the Spirit of British fun making. Besides tbe danger of my position, the fear of some slip ot tongue betraying me. _dxirwaw^*u^cuaweCQjwi {the knowledge that I was ln the very heart of the enemy's camp, with grim, stem duties to perform and a return Journey to accomplish, kept mo nerved to a point where I thought of little j else than my task. But now I dared i not remain indifferent, and. Indeed, the ! enthusiasm of my companions became j contagious, and I joined with them I eagerly, as they hurried forth to the jbset point of view. Once there the sight revealed aroused me to an enthusiasm scarcely less than that of (those crowding about Few, Indeed, have ever witnessed so gorgeous a spectacle as that river presented. ��������� Well out in the stream lay the vessels of war���������the Fanny, Roebuck and Vigilant���������together with a long line of, transports, stretching as far as the aye could see, fags flying, and decks Icrqwded with spectators. The pageant came down with the tide, moving in three divisions to the inspiring music of several bands, the oars of galleys jand barges keeping exact Intervals. As they passed us tha officers beside ma named the various occupants. In tha leading galley were Sir William, .Lord Howe, Sir Henry Clinton, the of* jfioera of their suites and some ladles. In the last of the boats stood General !Knyphausen, the Hessian commander. Between these were flat-boats, covered jwlth. green cloth, loaded with ladies and gentlemen, or else containing jbands. Six barges, darting here and [there, kept open space amid the Iswanns of small boats. Everywhere jthe eye swept over a riot of color, ahd fthe ear caught a babel of sound. As Ithe last barge glided by the man next :me growled in disgust: "Those are lucky dogs off duty to- iday." His eye caught mine. "Why dont you go after them,. Fortesque? There will be plenty of fun afoot yonder where they land." "Where is that?" "At the old fort; follow tha crowd, and you'll not go astray. Have you a ticket?" ; "Captain Andre honored me with One this morning." "Then you are good for the first row. Pon't miss it, man," with enthusiasm. " 'Twill be such a sight as has not been witnessed since the Field of tbe Cloth of Gold." ; "A passage at arms, you mean?'-' ������'Ayl as gorgeous as tbose of ' tbs |old*tlu.e knights; a fair conceit as 1 read the program. I'd be there now but for the damned orders that hold ime bere. If yrou rida bard you can imaka tbe spot befort they coma ashore." There was no reason I should not go, and much in the glittering prospect appealed to me. Five minutes later % was trotting out of the Yager camp, pressing passage through the Crowds, already, headed southward, the dragoon riding silently at my heels. Mounted men that day were few, and, doubtless believing wa were connected wltb the pageant, tba Jam sullenly parted, and gave us opening, so we reached the site of the old fort as the barges began discharging their occupants. A glance about, howevet, convinced me as to where the lists were to be run, and I beaded iny horse In that direction and gained a point of vantage before the throng poured ln. I was somewhat to tba right of the big stand, the restive heels ot my horse keeping the crowd away, and fwith a clear view as far as the river bank, tt was, maybe, 400 yards down S gentle slope to the water's edge, where tbe line was forming. This pas* isageway was lined with onlookers, held back by numerous guards, while to my left extended a square lawn, perhaps 160 yards each way, surround* jed by a double rank ot grenadiers, the bayonets gleaming on their guns. This open space was equipped with everything needed for the coming tourney, and on three sides were tiers of raised seats. I had barely observed all this when the guns of the Roebuck, echoed by those of the Vigilant, began to boom a salute, and the head of the column of marchers began slowly mounting tho slope. The costumes worn were as varied as those of a masquerade, representing all the changes since the days of chivalry. The whole line glowed wltb color, and gleamed with steel. Hike some great serpent, glittering in the sun, this procession passed under the triumphal arches and disappeared as Its members took prescribed positions on the stands, or ln the pa* vllions bordering the field of contest As thus arranged the grouping of col* ors was most brilliant In the front of each pavilion were seven young ladles, attired picturesquely ln Turkish costume, wearing ln their turbans 4hose favors with which they meant to reward the knights contending ln their honor. Behind these, and occupying all tho upper seats, were the maidens representing the two divisions of the day's sports���������ladles of the Blended Rose and ladies of the Burn- leg Mountain. From the crowd surging around I heard name after name mentioned, as famous Philadelphia I belles were pointed out not a few fa miliar to me. Even as X gased upon that galaxy of beauty, half angry that Americans should take part In such a speotaole of British triumph, the field was cleared for the lists, and a sound of trumpets came to us from a distance. Ont into the opening rode tbe contending knights, attended by esquires on foot dressed ln ancient habits of. white and red silk, and mounted on gray horses. From the other direction appeared their opponents, in black and orange, riding black steeds, while to tba oenter advanced the herald loudly prodaiming the challenge. I knew not who they all were, but they made a gallant show, and I overheard many a name spoken of soldiers met ln battle���������Lord Cathcart, Captain An*j dre, Major Tarlton, Captain Scott Ay!, and they fought well that day, those' White and Black knights on the mimic field. At last the two chiefs���������Lord Cathcart for the Whites, and Captain Watson oi the Guards, for the Black;; ���������were alone contending furiously, when the marshal of the field rushed in between, and struck, up their weapons, declaring the contest done, the honor of each side proven. As the company broke up, flowing forward to the great house beyond, the . vast crowd of onlookers burst through the guard lines, and, like a mighty torrent, swept over the field. It was a wild, Jubilant yelling masB, so dense as to be irresistible* even those of us on horseback being pressed forward, helpless chips on the stream. I endeavored to press back, but my restive animal, startled by the dig of jthe spur, the yells, the waving of iarms, refused to face the tumult, and whirled madly about For a moment 1 all but lost control, yet evon as he ���������plunged rearing Into the air, I saw before me the appealing face of a worn- Sn. How she chanced to be there lone, ln the path of that mob, I jknow not; where ber escort had disappeared, and how she had become separated from her party, has never Jbeen made clear. But this I saw, even as I struggled with the hard-mouthed brute under me���������a slender, girlish figure attired as a lady of the Blended Rose, h white, frightened face, arm? outstretched, and dark blue eyes beseeching help. Already the front of the mob was upon her, unable to swerve aside because of the thousands pushing behind. In another moment she would be underfoot, or hurled into the air. ,-ReckleBs of all else, I dug jn my spurs, yelling to the Light Dragoon beside me, even as my horse Heaped. I scarcely know what happened, or how It was accomplished- only I l^ad the reins gripped In my teeth, both my hands free. That instant I caught her; the next she was on my arm, swung safely to the saddle, held to me with a grip of steel, the animal dashing forward beneath his double burden into the open field. Then the dragoon, riding madly, gripped the bit, and the. affair was over, although we must have galloped a hundred yards before the trembling horse was brought to a stand. Leaving him to the control of tbe soldier, I sprang to the ground, bearing the lady with me. We were behind one of the pavilions, facing the bouse, and she reeled as her feet touched the earth, so that I held her from falling. Then her lashes lifted, land the dark blue eyes looked Into my face. , "You must pardon my roughness," I apologized, "but there was no time for ceremony." She smiled, a flood of color coming back Into the clear cheeks, as she drew slightly away. ���������1 appreciate that sir," frankly, Shaking out her ruffled skirts, "and you have made knighthood real." "Then," I ventured, "may I hops to receive the reward, fair lady?" She laughed, a little tremor ot nervousness in the sound, but her eyes full of challenge. "And what Ib that?" "Your name; tbe hope of better acquaintance." Her eyes swept my uniform ques- tlonlngly. "You are not of the garrison?" "No; a courier Just arrived from New York." "Yet an officer; surely then you will fee present tonight?" "Tbe privilege is mine; If lufflclent* IT tempted I may attend." . "Tempted! How, sir?" "By your pledging me a dance." '��������� She laughed again, one hand grasping tbe long silken skirt. 'Tou ask much���������my name, a better acquaintance, a dance���������all this for ���������merely saving me from a mob. You jare not a modest knight I feat. Suppose I refuse?" t "Then am I soldier enough to come unasked, and win my welcome." ; "I thought as much," the leng lashes opening up to me the depths of tha blue eyeB.

If I do not speak of gratitude, it is nevertheless in my heart, sir," she swept me a curtsey, to which I bowed hat ln hand, "and now au revolr." I stood as she left me, staring while she crossed the lawn' and Joined a dark-faced officer of Rangers. Once she glanced back over her shoulder, and then disappeared in the crowd of revelerB. I had not intended to remain in Philadelphia through the night. Already I had secured the information sought, and now must consider the safest and quickest method of escape. It seemed to me this night, given up to revelry, afforded the best possible opportunity for my safely passing the British guard lines. Tomorrow discipline would be resumed, the soldiers Would return to tbelr posts and the dtlsens of the city would again appear on the streets. This would greatly intensify ray danger, for, st any moment, I might encounter soma one who knew me, who might denounce me to tbe authorities. ��������� That this was the esaot truth of tho situation could not ba denied, yet now, every reckless Impulse of my disposition urged ma to remalni tha Invitation of those laughing blue ayes, tne challenge I read ln tha lady's fair faoe, the unsolved mystery of her Identity, all combined In a temptation t found lt impossible to resist For a; dance with her, a possible understanding, I was willing to venture life itself. It must have been nearly nine o'dock when, in company with a. young cornet, I rode up to the house given UP t0 festivities, and, turning; over our horses to the oare ot cavalry: grooms, climbed the wide steps to the door leading into the hall. ill was a riot of color, rich, bewildering, with smiling faces, and laugh-* Ing lips everywhere. In such a spot' amid such surroundings, war seemed; a dream, a far-off delirium. Hy companion disappeared, and,; to escape the pressure of those surg*-; lug back and forth through the wide' doorway, I found passage dose to the; wall, and half circled the room,, finally! discovering a halting place In the recesses of a window, where, partially concealed myself by flowing ourtalns,; X could gase out over tbe brilliant assemblage. Half ashamed of the plainness of my own attire, and feeling a stranger and an alien, I was yot cSn-t sdously seeking tha one faoe which J bad lured me there. . 'Enough conversation reached me to nlsdose a promised display of fireworks on the lawn, and almost lmme-1 jdlatcly a. magnificent bouquet of rock* '���������ts shot up into the black sky, llluml-' Dating everything wltb a glare of fire. This was followed by tbe lighting up ���������of the triumphal arch, and the burst-1 |tng of balloons high overhead. Attracted by the spectacle, I was staring out: at tbe dassling scene, wben a voice spoke at my shoulder. " 'Tls a relief to see even ona sol* dler present ready for duty." . I turned to look into a pair of steady blue eyes, with a bit of mocking laughter in tbeir depths, the face revealed clearly in the glare of the rockets. '��������� "Necessity only," I managed to reply. ��������� "I can be as gorgeous as these others, had I brought a bag with me." I "No doubt; every British regiment tries to outdo the others In ribbons and gold lace. Really they become .tiresome with such foppery In war times. See how they play tonight like children, the city practically unguarded from attack," she waved an ungloved hand toward tbe dark with* tout. "I venture there are men out yonder, sir, who are not dancing and laughing away these hours." . My cheeks burned. I "You mean Washington's troops?" I "Aye! I saw them here in Philadelphia before Sir William came," ber voice lowered, yet earnest, "and they are not playing at war; grim, silent,, sober-faced men, dressed in odds andj ends, not pretty to look at; some tattered and hungry, but tbey fight hard.; Mr. Conway was telling us yesterday1 of how they suffered all winter long,! while we danced and feasted here,: ���������Washington himself sleeping wltb thej Sow drifting over him.

"We are of those loyal to the king, but���������I admire men." It was with an effort I restrained! my words, eager to prodalm my serv-i Ice, yet comprehending Instantly that! I dare not even trust this plain-spoken girl with tbe truth. She respected the! men, sympathized with the sacrifices of Washington's little army, contract- ad all they endured with the profligacy bf the English and Hessian troops, and yet remained loyal to the king's cause. Even as I hesitated she spoke again. "What is your regiment?" "The Forty-second Foot" "You have not yet been ln action In America?" "No, but I have Just crossed the Jerseys with dispatches." She shook her head,.her cheeks glowing. "My home was there when the war began," she explained simply. "Now it ls hate, pillage and plunder everywhere. We fled to Philadelphia for our lives, and have almost forgotten we ever had a home. We loyalists are paying a price almost equal to those men with Washington. 'Tis this memory which makes me so bitter toward those who play amid the ruins." "Yet you have seemed to enter Into the gay spirit of the occasion," and my eyes swept over ber costume. "Oh, I am girl enough to enjoy the glitter, even while the woman ln me condemns lt all.

Canada possesses some six hundred billion board feet of merchantable timber, worth perhaps ten billion dollars. Canadians are cutting off this timber at the rate of about 100 board feet per acre, or eight billion board feet a year. The fire loss is estimated to be 950 board feet per acre per annum. We are allowing from fifty million to two hundred million dollars worth of this timber to burn up every year. Worse than that, we are burning young growth, forest litter and soil fertility on hundreds of thousands of acres. That means no timber ln the future for our children and children's children. Forest fires, continued, make deserts. With the trees an������ young growth go the roots and soil cover, with their undoubted powers of holding water and soil together. Floods come frm' districts where the trees have been removed. - On the prairie, shelter belts and woodlots are protecting crops, stock and houses from the extremes of climate, and are providing the farmers with fence posts and stringers. Fifty per cent of Canada is capable of growing tree crops and nothing else. Only a fraction of this absolute forest area is growing trees as it might The rest is comparatively unproductive.

The first issue of the enlarged "Jour* nal of Commerce" with which Is incorporated the "Shareholder,* under the editorship of Mr. J. C. Ross, M.A., made its appearance this week. The number is a fair index of what may be expected from the amalgamation of two of Montreal's oldest weekly publications, the "Journal of Commerce" established in 1875 and the "Shareholder" in 1878. The new paper will undoubtedly make a large place for itself in the Journalistic field. It is a commercial paper in <��������� the 1 broadest sense, treating the fields of banking, insurance, transportation, commerce and manufacturing. A special feature is an illustrated section, describing Canada's great basic industries, the one this week being devoted to the textile industry, written by the Editor apd Associate Editor of the "Canadian Textile Journal". Other contributions include articles from the pen of O. D. Ekelton, Professor ol' Economics in Queen's University; a London letter by Mr. W. E. Dowding; an interesting article on the struggle between Mon- real and New York for the grain trade of Western Canada. Many other articles of interest and value to, business men are found in the number. The "Journal of Commerce and Shareholder" haye lately been taken over by interests that already own ,.,,. i*nHfSh several well known technical journals, including the Canadian Mining Journal, the Pulp and Paper Magazine, the Canadian Textile Journal and the Canadian Miller, and Cerealist. These papers under the efficient management of Mr. J. J. Har- pell, B.A., have' all been successful in their respective fields, and'tbere Is no doubt but that the "Journal of Commerce and Sharehold" under the same managment will share this success. Mr. . C. Ross, the editor of the "Journal of Commerce and Shareholder" is an honor graduate of the University of Toronto* and has had a wide journalistic experience. For several years he was on the staff of the Tor onto ''Globe," the last six being spent as resident correspondent of this paper in Montreal. Mr. Ross hag also been a frequent and prominent con tributor to American and British periodicals on financial and economic subjects. Giant Crane Puts City In Darkness An Innocent, well-meaning crane was the cause of total darkness enveloping Vancouver about 10:30 odoCk last Friday night, when the power over the British Columbia Electric Company's wires gave out, stopping street cars and extinguishing lights in homeB, theatres and streets. The bird measured more than four feet from wing; to wing, came into contact with two of the high tension wires along the Lulu Island interur- ban line on Sixth avenue, between Cedar and Cypress streets. It caused a short circut and a blow-out at the terminal station on Main street that abut the power off every circuit in tbe city. North Vancouver power wires also suffered. Lights in the houses came on first, then street lights and later street car power. The break did not last mere than half an hour, but those who were abroad at that time suffered for want of transportation. Tbe bird was picked up Saturday morning by British Columbia linemen, and is to be seen in the front window of the Province office, where large crowds collected to view it. The burns oti the cranes legs and wings are evident. .'

IIIMHIIIIIIII .IIMI bang If we want our trees protected we must care for them now. Today is fifty years "ago" from the year 1963��������� and that is not very far away. All Canada's modern development��������� Confederation, the great railways, the growth of the West, most great machines���������have come in the last fifty years. The seedlings of that day are scarcely more than tie timber now. Fifty years is a very short time ln the life of a forest. Most of the timber being cut in British Columbia today is over two hundred years old���������some of it is over eight hundred. There is a crisis coming���������when the forests which for a century men have thought "inexhaustible" are going to be greatly depleted. We must prepare for that contingency. A certain knight of Spain���������where the long names come from���������arrived late one evening at a wayside inn in France, and knocked for a long time on the door before he succeeded In arousing the landlod. Then: "Who is there?" creid mine host, thrusting his head through a window. "Don Juan Pedro" repleid the traveller," "Hermandez Rodigue de Villa- nova, Count de Malafa, Knight of San- tiaga and Alcantara." ���������'Sorry, but I haven't room for all of you!" exclaimed the landlord. "Better try ten miles further on!" And he closed the window with a Is it not possible that the compulsion of moral forces is the great propeller of this mighty world-wide movement?' (Of course, everyone is entitled to his own opinion, even a woman.) Such is the opinion of a noted Canadian writer, Peter McArthur, who has the courage of his convictions, and announces without a blush his conversion to woman suffrage because he recognizes that the driving impulse of the woman movement Ib the importance of human life as contrasted with property. He says: "Woman's eyes are opened to see that bread and tea are dear, but flesh and blood'are cheap. Boys and girls are sacrificed to the industrial Moloch that men have set up. Property, being safeguarded in every way, works Its will with brutal disregard for life or any ot the rights 6f lite. Health, happiness, morals and everything that makes life worth while are not worth considering it they stand in the way of triumphant property. Men have developed an entirely false set pf ideals, and these are reflected in their governments." Naturally, therefore, it is the imperative duty of Christian men and women to set up and maintain true ideals tbat shall govern the municipal and provincial administration. In her booklet', "Towards Liberty," Lucy R. Bartlett has expressed her opinion also on the Suffrage movement much along similar lines, and states that, in her judgment, "freedom can only be assured to any part of a nation when it is spiritually ready for it" That may be so or not, but we wish to ask if political freedom is a spiritual gift? If so, then, pray, who is to bestow such a gift? Sinful men? How very funny! Why, Freedom is woman's birthright. Why does she not possess it? Because It has been stolen from her, and Justice demands restoration. It is matter of history that women could vote under the flrat Constitution of New Jersey from 1776 to 1807, and there is little doubt but that women in England had constitutionally the right to vote prior to thev Reform Bill of 1832, as the insertion of the specific word "male" In that Franchise Bill plainly indicated. Then the tremendous stormy protest that followed the action of those otherwise men whose Judicial -decision excluded women from their hitherto enjoyed right, was sufficient evidence that woman had been deeply wronged. Students of history know that in ancient Britain women were the political equals of men, sharing not only the privileges but burdens of the state, and this obtained also during the Saxon and Norman periods. Peeresses and abesses were even admitted to Parliament. That spiritual women, good women, champions of right and purity, have at various epochs in the history of the movement advocated equal suffrage is a well-known fact. To a good Quaker lady, Anne Kent of Chelmsford, Eng., is due the honor of forming or causing to be formed the first Woman Suffrage Society in that country, which was formed at Sheffield in the year 1857. Such worthy names as Margaret Brent, Abgail Adams (wife of John Adams), Mercy Warren, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Susan B. Anthony, Miss Willard and scores of others on this side of the water, with Frances Power Cobbe, Mary Carpenter, Augusta Webster, Florence Nightingale, who headed a memorial to Parliament in 1871, are significant of the fact that righteous souls had been stirred to the depths by unjust and unrighteous man-made laws. That fundamental principles are involved in this great crusade is beginning to dawn upon the hazy mind of our partner 'Mortal Error' is a most hopeful sign, and If this movement bas Bitulithic paving makes ideal roads.

C. ��������� We Need the Trees Millions are being sent out annually by nursery companies. There is a demand for millions more The experience of tree planters and far-seeing farmers. Indicates tbat there will be a demand for tens of millions more. We must have trees, ln the forest, on the prairie, on Bandy lands, in towns and cities. It takes years to grow trees���������not hours or days. To keep us in timber, pulp, an equable water supply, fish and game, we must have trees. Stop the fires. Stop the waste in logging, milling and utilization. Stop the insect and fungus depredations. Cut timber only when it is "ripe"��������� when it will produce as much value as possible in usefulness to men. Plant up the waste places. Plant the needed shelter belts. These take time, they-take men, they take money, but they are worth it. France has spent $35,000,000 in planting trees on watersheds. Germany spends up to $13 per acre per annum on some forests, and gets gross returns- up to $24 per acre, thus yielding net profits up to $11 per acre every year. As a whole, German forests produce about $2.00 net per acre annually. Canada spends much less than one cent, per acre per annum on the forest lands under management If we set the fire loss against the timber product, Canada's forest balance sheet shows an enormous deficit. How can Canadians stop the losses, arrest the waste? There is but one answer. Public opinion, public interest, public conscience are the only forces that will ever make for progress. Picoicing In Vancouver Among the many pleasure privileges afforded tbose who are fortunate enough to live'in Vancouver, picnlclng finds a prominent place. And it may be well said that, baving the desire and the purpose, up comes the question, where? Owing to the numerous and most desirably attractive places available for such pleasure, where, indeed, may you not go. Nature has been most liberal ln ber excellent provision, leaving but a little for man to do to make each spot ideal. So, when the "weatherman" had "ceased the rain,"tfae youthful minds of Mount Pleasant Methodist Scbool turned their numerous feet to tbe spacious decks of the Bowena at 9.15 a.m., The sail may be all too short and the price too long, but the fascinating environments of the place soon cause old and young to cut loose and go in for the best possible use of the day for an old-fashioned picnic. I Where there is gathered a crowd of vigorously growing stomachs, that have suddenly grown empty, there is need of promptly supplying the innerfelt want, so this picnic bunch soon "began to fill up." Well! yes, it looked like only the beginning, as the process was continued all day, more or less, with icecream, peanuts and candy, between the contests of boys and girls from twelve to eighteen years, who in turn, as each event was called by the umpire, keenly contested for first place. And the parental pleasure manifested was no small matter, as they stood by to see "their boy or girl" win. The superintendent and the pastor were busy fellows. The latter being new to the school was busy getting acquainted, and in many ways showed his youthfulness and ability to do "more than preach." Methodistic Mount Pleasanters are cordially invited to the School Session and also the preaching service. PICNICKER. Brandon Has Costly Fire.

Nor is the timber so protected al- lov. cd to die of old age. . The foresters determine at what diameter in each section the maximum production is at- tainedtl, an when the trees reach this size they are granted free, or for a nominal sum, to homesteaders who apply .to the forest officials fcr cutting permits. Care is taken not to allow over-cutting, for it is the foresters aim to crop the forest perpetually and at the same time Increase Its producing capacity by proper methods of management, i Thus, by this policy of forest reservation, instead o fdenuded hillsides, drifting sand and barren rocks' and muskegs, these areas will in time be covered with great tracts of forest owned by the people and supplying their wants, not only now but to all future time, when countries with less I timber famine. been set apart as a forest reserve, not only to perpetuate the supply of timberlf^t8.^^!." * * the throeB of a but to preserve and equalize the flow of the large prairie rivers wheh have their sources ln this.reserved area.
