THE result of the Nova Scotia elections is not likel}7 to bring much comfort to the Conservatives who have been looking forward to the tide which has been flowing with the Liberals for the past five or six years. If the overwhelming defeat with which thev have met i n Nova Scotia has the effect of inducing the Conservative party to make a careful analysis of its source of weakness the adverse verdict of the electorate will not have been in vain. The Economist has pointed out time and again that the Conservative party is weak in both men and policy. When Sir John A'Mac'doiiald; was defeated in 1873, he immediately set about the formulation of a policy that would meet with the approbation of the people. This was the National Policy, and so favorably was it received that in the election of 1878, the late leader of the party was returned to power with an overwhelming majority. In connection with his promise to foster Canadian industries, Sir John elaborated a system by which the gteat transcontinental railway was to be constructed within a given number of years. This promise was also carried out to the satisfaction of the people. Indeed the great secret of the success of the Conservative party under the leadership of Sir John A. Macdonald was that faith with the people was always maintained. When he went to the country he had a well-defined policy, and the electorate knew exactly what to expect in the event of his return. Moreover, he maintained peace in his party, something that subsequent Conservative leaders were unable to do. The factof the matter is, and it cannot be denied, the Conservative party since the death of the great chieftain has been as a house divided against itself. The National Policy, bo wisely promulgated in 1878, is no longer an issue. The-Liberals have adapted it in almost its entirety. The time has now arrived when a new platform must be constructed, and this platform must be broad enough to hold every element in the community. Nothing is to be gained by shouting ourselves hoarse over the glories of the Conservative party in the past. We are looking to the future and not the past. Every year there are hundreds of young men arriving at the age when they are qualified to vote for the first time. What has the Conservative party to offer these young men in the way of encouragement to throw in their lot with the Conservatives ? Have we a policy distinct from that of the Liberals? If so, what is it, and what are we doing in the way of instructing the rising generation in its principles? The sooner the Conservative leaders come together and tell the people where they are at, the sooner we may hope for success. It is said we have a leader somewhere in the east. If this is the case, we would like to know why he was not heard from in the campaign in Nova Scotia. A little eloquence distributed in that Province during the election just fought might have made the result less discouraging to the Conservatives of the west. British Columbia Liberals have thrown down the gage of battle, but the Conservatives do not appear to have a fight left in them. The Grit editors of alleged Conservative newspapers are telling us what to do, and at the same time -playing into the hands of our political enemies. If there is one good man left in our ranks, let him come forward now and face the swaggering Golkth. Richard McBride, it is now up to you to put on your armor and say \" follow me.\" We have fought and vanquished the beasts at Ephesus before and can do it again, if we have only a faithful leader. The intentions of Premier Dunsmuir have at last; been made known, the great statesman having an-; nounced that he will meet the House. A sensitive man would have placed his resignation in the hands of the Lieutenant-Governor immediately after the defeat of Mr. Brown, but it seems the Premier is lacking in those finer feelings which are regarded the shining qualities of an honorable, straightfor-' ward man. It may be that Mr. Dunsmuir has been an only too willing student of Joseph Martin's dangerous political teachings. It scarcely seems possible that Mr. Dunsmuir has followed the advice of Mr. Perry in this matter, for the latter would not' so far forget his own keen Bense of honor or his duty to his life-long associates as to pocket the rebuff administered by the electors of New Westminster. We merely offer this suggestion to controvert the now generally expressed belief that the Premier of the great Province of British Colo mbia is clay in the hands of that skilled artificer and designer\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHonorable B. J. Perry. However, it may be better that the Premier has decided to meet the House, The people are anxious to see a redistribution bill passed and it is not at all unlikely that Mr. Dunsmuir will receive sufficient support to carry such a bill through tho Legislature, but it is scarcely conceivable that the Government will be permitted to carry on the busi- I IE # 1 f.M'l ill 1\/5; I '''ft!

The boast that the Government will have 22 followers has evidently been made without a careful investigation of the situation. The men who were elected to destroy the power of Joseph Martin are not likely to openly ignore the wishes of their constituents. In the meantime, the Premier will be forced to carry on the affairs of the country with three ministers, for in no place can he open a constituency witn any assurance of being able to elect his minster. The Colonist expresses the belief that if Mr. Dunsmuir consulted his own wishes he would retire from politics tomorrow. As the people are perfectly agreeable, there seems to be no real reason why the Premier should not get out at his earlist convenience The announcement of the death of Hon. N. Clarke Wallace will be received with sincere regret throughout the Dominion. Many times during the past week he seemed to be at death's door, but his remarkable recuperative powers procured him daily respites until yesterday, when he succumbed to the inevitable. Mr. Wallace was born at Woodbridge, Ont., in 1844. He has represented West York continuously since 1878. He became controller of customs in 1892 in the government of Sir John Thompson noiding the same position in the government of Sir Mackenzie Bowell until December, 1895, when, on account of the government's attitude on the Separate Schools question in Manitoba, he resigned his position and worked vigorously to accomplish the defeat of remedial legislation He has been grand master of the Loyal Orange association of North America since 1887, and was for six years president of the Triennial Council of Orangemen of the world. His occupation was that of merchant and flour miller. Mr. Wallace visited Nelson last November in company with Sir Charles Tupper, Bart. Native women, who are desirous of saving their soldier sweethearts, have disclosed to the authorities the existence of a new Katipunan Society in the Province of Tarlac, in the Philippines for the slaughter of whites. A rather unseemly discussion has arisen over the charge that Mayor Prefontaine of Montreal and Mayor Parent of Quebec were recommended for knighthood by the government of Canada, but that the Governor General reduced the honor to the lesser one of C. M. G. says the St. John (N. B.) Sun, The mayor of Montreal, who is also a member of parliament, has personally endorsed this account of the matter, stating that he knows it to be true, though he does not say how he knows it. This incident has led up to much talk on constitutional questions. Sir John Bourinot has been consulted and has explained that in making colonial recommendations for knighthood and other royal honors, the Governor General is not required to take the advice of his ministers and they are not responsible for what is done. Sir John Bourinot's doctrine is theoretically sound, and it does not conflict with the idea that a good understanding should prevail between the representative of the sovereign and his prime minister concerning these distinctions. Some of the government organs in Quebec province are not satisfied with this much. They claim that in the interest of self-government it is necessary for the government to control the bestowal of these honors and titles, and that the only business of the representative of the crown is to be the means of communication. Vague hints have been thrown out of a day of reckoning with the Governor-General by and by when the Duke shall have left the country. It is pointed out by the Montreal Gazette from Todd that the late Queen once conferred honors on two New Zealand public men then in opposition, in spite ofthe protest of the New Zealand premier. Canadian instances of titles supposed to have given by personal recommendation of the Governor-General are mentioned. But the facts in those cases are not established, for if the late government of Canada was ignored in these matters the ministers never complained about it. In view of what has been said by the press representing the present ministers, we may at least assume that from 1896 until this recent instance neither the sov- ereign nor the representative of the sovereign has conferred Canadian titles without the recommendation of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as head of the cabinet. His Worship has been instructed to purchase a bell by telephone for the fire hall. My readers will observe that there is a slight difference between purchasing a bell by telephone and purchasing the Bell telephone. Nelson has probably a greater number of bad boys in proportion to the population than any city in Canada. One is inclined to overlook the pranks of a mischievous lad, but vicious young rascals, with hereditary malicious instincts, should be sent to a reform school. It is always noticeable that at the close of the lacrosse season every year a howl goes up against what is called rough playing. Sometimes stronger language than this is used in describing the methods of the various players. It is strange that these complaints scarcely ever come from the players themselves, but almost invariably from the spectators. This goes to prove that what seems to the spectator rough play may in reality be nothing of consequence to those who participate in the game. In any event, it is undeniable that the game of lacrosse is sometimes played by men who are apt to lose their heads, and in this condition are not altogether responsible for their conduct. The first game between Westminster and the Y. M. C. A's was a case in point. The game throughout was very rough, one player, Archie Macnaughton having twelve stitches put in his head while the game was in progress. The cause ofthe rough play on this occasion wag the O'i \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\".:.'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd gjfflU ^*\ufffd\ufffdf4^a*|i'ii' THE NELSON ECONOMIST m \ufffd\ufffd ,W. ' r failure of the umpire to perform his duty. If he had ruled off the men who began this rough play there would have been no trouble for the rest of the match. In the second match the play was altogether different. This time they had an umpire who knew his duty and performed it\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdCharlie Cullin, of Victoria. The Vancouver World tells how Mr. Cullin conducted the game: \" From whistle to whistle the game was comparatively clean, thanks to the splendid work of Charlie Cullin of Victoria who refereed. The first dose Mr, Cullin gave was ten minutes with the timers for a cross-check. That settled matters, and after four of each team had gone to the fence, the men began to realize that it was dangerous to foul. Mr. Cullin's work could not have been improved upon; he has a great eye, and not a single foul missed him. Referee Cullin walked on the field, turned up the bottoms of his trousers, drew his hat down tightly on his head and called \"the team together. They encircled the man at the helm, who said : 'Gentlemen, I want this match played under the rules of the British Columbia Lacrosse Association. Every man on both teams knows how to play according to these rules. I will attend to any offenders. Gentlemen, line up.' >> For'the convenience of passengers for Crawford Bay the C. P. R. has made arrangements for running a steamer twice a week from Proctor, on Tuesdays and Fridays, the steamer making connection with the boat leaving Nelson at 4 p.m. on those days. Hon. J. H. Turner left Victoria last Fridav for London, Eng., where he will begin at once the duties of his office. Few public men in British Columbia had as many friends as Mr. Turner. Much regret is being expressed over the death of Harold J. Strachan, which occured yesterday at St. Mary's Hospital, San Francipco. Mr. Strachan was a young man of much promise, and was held in high esteem by a large circle of acquaintances in Nelson. His relatives will receive the sympathy of the citizens of Nelson in their bereavement. Mr Geo. Gillies, of Toronto, who is here looking into the affairs of the Imperial Development Syndicate, is a well known manufacturer of the east. For years he was manager of the large manufacturing works of Gananoque. He is a native of Carleton Place, Ont., being a son of the late William Gillies, of that place, who was the leading lumber manufacturer of the Ottawa Valley. Thk Liberal Government is being severely criticized by the Labor press for having cancelled the commission of Labor Commissioner Bremner. The Voice of Winnipeg is particularly caustic in its denunciation. Mr. Bremner was appointed about sixteen months ago, and-his duties were confined to British Columbia, where he has been busy ever since assisting in the pacification and settlement of the many serious troubles^ that have arisen here. His work has been good and his judgment sound in nearly all cases. If his presence has saved the dispatch of a single commissioner across the continent on a conciliatory mission, as it undoubtedly has, then his appointment has saved thousands of dollars, and his dismissal at this time is unexplainable. Bremner did not seek the job, and it is quite conceivable that his recommendations have been a little too practical and insistent to suit the powers that be at Ottawa. The great desideratum in securing stable government in this Province is fair redistribution. Therefore, the Greenwood Times believes tfiat the district lying between Cascade and Princeton should have three members. The Economist as a general rule is not given to boasting, but it surely can be pardoned for referring to the fact that one of the daily papers last week chronicled the arrival of four babies in our midst in one day. What other city in British Columbia can show the same record? The Duke of Cornwall has taken his departure without leaving as much as a title to perpetuate the remembrance of his royal visit. When Premier Dunsmuir announces that he will have a following of 22 when the House meets, he simply attempts to create the impression that there are 22 men in British Columbia who are prepared to violate their credit with their constituents to bolster up the political delinquencies of a plutocrat. The commercial instinct appears to be manifesting itself in connection with the reception of the ducal party at Toronto. In every other city in Canada visited by the Duke very little restriction was placed on the \"middle classes,'' if such a term can be properly applied in this democratic Dominion, in gazing on the royal party, In Toronto it is different. There a dollar will be charged to all visitors to the grounds where the reception is to be held. The receipts from this source are to be applied towards defraying the expenses of receiving the Duke, which shows that the citizens of\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\" Iiogtown\" are thrifty if hospitable, It seems too bad that the generonity of Canadians should be brought into question by this exhibition of penuriousncss on the part of Toronto, It is many years since moose have been seen in Hastings County, Ont. A fine animal made its appearance there the other day, and a resident immediately went after the animal, shooting him the same day. However, the moose was not cold before a deputy game warden came along, and the man who broke the law had to give up the carcase as well as fifty good dollars.

In the Slocan it is said the prospects were never better. More men are working there now than at any time during the past few years. With the settlement of the labor troubles, which must come soon, the mining industry of British Columbia will realize the hopes and expectations of our people. The pitfalls of the English tongue to the foreigner are many, say\ufffd\ufffd the New York Sun. A French woman who has undertaken housekeeping in New York thought she had a good working knowledge of the language, but soon discovered her mistake. One day this summer she called a carpenter and planned with him to have some work done about the house in the way of putting up shelves, etc., and she went over the ground with him as carefully as possible to get from him an estimate of what it would cost. After the work was done the bill submitted was considerably in excess of the sum first named. The French woman endeavored to remonstrate, but only succeeded in making the following remarkable statement to him :\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \" You are more dear to me than when we were first engaged;\" The Ladies' Hospital Aid society intend to give a musical u At Home\" in the parlors of the Phair hotel on Tuesday, October 15th from, 3 to 5.30 p. m. for the benefit of the hospital. The best amateur talent has been secured which, combined with the object for which the musical is to be held, should guarantee liberal patronage I rather agree with the following from the Toronto Telegram : \" Ottawa veterans who defied the orders of Major-General O'Grady-Haly and paraded before the Duke of York in khaki can not be regarded as models of Canadian soldiery. Too much - deference to discipline and drill has done a great deal to impair the efficiency of the British army, but relegating these considerations to their proper places does not imply their utter abandonment. Discipline will always be an important factor in warfare. That its importance has been exaggerated the records of the South African war plainly show, but ignoring its usefulness would be introducing a still greater evil. The Ottawa veterans spurned the authority of Major-General O'Grady Haly, and in thus setting at naught their commanding officer they violated a principle which must always be recognized in the Canadian militia. Even if the veterans made a proper request their conduct cannot be justified. It is a soldier's duty now as it always has been to obey. Men who have learned the realities of war should be the last to openly defy one of war's first obligations.\" The various millinery openings the past week have occupied the time and attention of Nelson women. The most interesting of these openings was that of F. Irvine & Co., where was displayed a large assortment of stylish hats and at very moderate prices. A number of beautiful hats in black and white and all black were shown, The Spanish turbans are larger than ever this season, and in fact nearly all the hats are very large. The Tarn O'Shanter crown effect seems to be quite popular, but queen of all the hats is the plume bedecked Gainsborough. Aside from the millinery was an almost equally interesting display of the latest dress goods for fall and winter wear, costumes, coats3 furs, etc. When the Supreme Court of Canada meets, the judges who will comprise the tribunal will be: Chief Justice Sir Henry Strong, aged 75, appointed to the court on its establishment in 1875, and made Chief Justice in 1892, on the death of Sir William J. Ritchie. Judge Taschereau, aged 65, appointed in 1878. in succession, to his cousin, Judge J. T. Taschereau, one of the original members of the court. Judge Gwynne, aged 87, appointed in 1879, when Sir William Ritchie became Chief Justice in succession to Chief Justice Richards, the first to hold that position. Judge Sedgewick, aged 53, appointed in i893, while Deputy Minister of Justice, after the promotion of Judge Strong to the position of Chief Justice. Judge Girouard, aged\"65, appointed in 1895 in succession to Judge Fournier. Judge Sir Louis H. Davis, aged 56, appointed in 1901, in succession to Judge King. The Supreme Court as constituted in 1875 by the Government of Hon. Alex. Mackenzie, when it was first established, had as judges Chief Justice Richards, puisne judges Ritchie, Strong, Taschereau, Fournier and Henry. Sir Henry Strong, of this able body, alone remains, and Mr. Justice King, subsequently appointed, passed away last summer. It was understood early in 1896 that Mr. Justice Gwynne was ready to retire on the statutory pension given to judges who have served for a long term, but he seems to have re-considered his determination, as he still holds on to office, though 87 years of age. Herr Steiner has already got the members of the Operatic Society together and is arranging a grand musical production for Thursday evening, October 17. The performance that evening will b9 the Garden scene from Faust and the Miserari from II Trovatore. This will be the first time^that grand opera has been sung by Nelson amateurs and the result is looked forward to with considerable curiosity. An English paper tells a good story of a Droitwich barber. He was just finishing lathering a customer and was talking volubly as usual. \" Yes, sir,'.' he said, \" there's no oarelessness allowed by our employer. Every time we cut a customer's face we are fined six-pence, and if we make an ugly gash it costs us a shilling,\" Then, picking up and brandishing his razor, he added : u But I don't care a rap to-day. I've just won a sovereign.\" Mrs. Isabel Savory tells in her book, A Sportswoman in India, this story about a man she knew: u He had a henhouse and a hen that was sitting, but unluckily for her hatching operations a cobra got through a chink in the henhouse. The cobra made a fine meal of well warmed eggs, but when it essayed to retire by the same hole through which it had entered it found those eggs in the way. It wa< much too large to get out, so it stuck in the hole, half in the henhouse and half outside. There it was discovered the next morning in a surfeited condition. It paid for its greediness with its life, and then it paid back the eggs it had stolen ; for when the body J THE NELSON ECONOMIST $1 m ' m fc h of the snake was opened the eggs were all found un - broken and warm. They were replaced under the hen, and in due time were hatched, none the worse for their peculiar incubation. The strange fact that the cobra could swallow whole an egg much bigger than its own head is accounted for by the peculiar construction of that head. The head and jaws of the cobra are loose, and can be enormously stretched and distorted.\" Several attractions have been booked by Manager Annable for November, amongst others \" Coon Hollow\" and \" Fogg's Ferry,\" 27 and 28. P. G. MONARCHS' LAST WORDS. There is something that touches the hearts of all people in the last simple words of CharlesTI. \"Don't let poor Nelly e-tarve.\" \" Poor Nelly\" was Nell Gwynne, orange-girl actress, and founder of the ducal family ot St. Albans. More mysterious\ufffd\ufffd\ufffduncanny, almost\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwas that attributed to his father, Charles I, who, just before he laid his head on the block, ejaculated, addressing Juxon, Archbishop of Canterbury, the single word, \" Remember !\" Speculation has been rife for over two centuries as to the exact meaning which ought to be attached to this. The most probable explanation, and one which has been adopted by most historians, is that Cliarles, who was at heart a Catholic, felt persuaded that his misfortunes were a Divine visitation on him for retaining the church property confiscated by Henry VIII, and had made a vow that, if God would restore him to the throne, he would give back his property\" to the Church. This vow may be seen in -the British Museum. His injunction to the Archbish^p'was to remember the vow, and enjoin his son Charles tocarry it out. Of the Queen's immediate crowned ancestors the last words of George IV. only have been preserved. \" Watty,\" he said to his favorite page, Sir Wathen Waller\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"Watty, what is this ? It is death, my boy. They have deceived me.\" William III. cried out in agony, ,\" Can this last long?\" The words were addressed to his physician, the King suffering at the time from, a broken collarbone. Lonis XVIII. of France, and the Emperor Vespasian are both credited with the same last words\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"A king should die standing.\" The former's ancestor, Louis XIV., joked with his attendants. \"Wby weep you ?\" he asked. \"Do you think I should live forever? I thought dying had been harder,\" His successor's last words are historical. \"Frenchmen\/' he cried from the scaffold, \" I die guiltless of the crimes imputed to me. Pray God my blood fall not on France !\" Anne Boleyn, on the scaffold, murmured, just before the axe fell: \" My neck is very small.\" Charles IX. of France, in whose reign occured the terrible St. Bartholomew massacre shouted loudly : 'Nurse, nur^e, what murder\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhat blood I Oh, I have done wrong! God pardon me!\" The unhappy Maximilian's last thoughts were of his wife. \"Poor Carlotta 1\" he ejaculated, as he faced the firing party. Murat, King of Naples, cried to the men appointed to shoot him : \" Soldiers save my face, aim at my heart. Farewell!\" Richard I, of England was generous and forgiving in dying as in living. To Bertrand de Gourdon, who shot him with an arrow at Chains, he said, \" Youth I forgive you.\" Then, to his attendants he added : \"Takeoff his chains, give him one hundred shillings and lot him go.\" Richard III,, the moment before receiving his fatal wound at the battle of Bosworth, cried: \"Treason ! treason!\" This on seeing his best men desert him to join the standard of Richmond, afterwards Henry VIII. There is a flavor of mystery attaching to the dying utterance of the Czar Alexander III. : \"This box was presented to me by the Emperor (sic)of Prussia.\" His ancestor Alexander I., apologised, like Chesterfield, for being so long in dying, his last words\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"You must surely be tired.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbeing addressed to his wife Elizabeth. Something of the same spirit probably actuated Cromwell, who, when refreshment was pressed upon him, said simply: \" My design is to make what haste I can to be gone.\" And so he died. This is exactly the reverse of Queen Elizabeth's: \" All my possessions for a moment of time.'\" Plenry VIII.'s dying cry of, \"All is lost ! Monks, monks, monks !\" mav or mav not be authentic. James V. of Scotland's last utterance wa3 a prophecy, and a true one ; \" It (thecrown of Scotland) came with a lass and will go with a lass.\" This he said when, on his deathbed, he was informed the Queen had given birth to a daughter\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe future Mary Queen of Scots. ;..' CAPTAIN RAVENSHAW, OR THE CHEAPSIDE. MAID OF By R. N. Stephens, author of \"Philip Win wood\" and \"An Enemy to the King.'* The Copp, Clark Co., Limited, Publishers\/ Toronto. For sale by Canada Drug & Book Co., Limited, Nelson, B.C. On a cold night in March, toward the end of Elizabeth's reign, Captain Ravenshaw, a shabby soldier in hard luck, leaving a tavern in which he has been insulted by a fop, sits on the steps of a church in the old Jewry in London, wondering where he shall sleep. He i8 joined by another night- walker, a ragged young scholar from Cambridge. Though at heart a kind and- modest gentleman circumstances have compelled Captain Ravenshaw to play the part of a bully, until, he has acquired a fearsome reputation. On this particular night the two are joined by others, until there is a formidable band, ready for any desperate deed, so it is little wonder that some unusual and exciting things happen, among them an incident which leads to \"the abduction of Millicent Etbendge, daughter of Mr. Thomas Etheridge, the goldsmith of Goldsmiths'Row, Cheapside, When the Maid of Cheapside is pursued and finally carried off by ruffians the interest becomes almost feverish in its intensity, and her fortunes are eagerly followed until she is happily and heroically rescued. * '. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' \" Is this not a fair picture of a maiden in distress upon the streets of London at midnight? \"The young gentlewoman looked very young indeed, and very gentle, being of a slight figure, and having a delicate face. She leaned close against the door, at which she had, as it seemed, put herself at bay. Her face, still wet with tears,retained something of the distortion of weeping, but was nevertheless charming. Her eyes, yet moist, were like violets on which rain had fallen. Her lips had not ceased to quiver with the emotion which had started her tears. Her hair, which was of a light brown, was in some disorder, partly from the wind, for the hood of the brown cloak she wore had been pulled back.

This gentleman was tall, nobly formed, and of a magnificent appearance, His features were ruddy, bold, and cut in straight lines.

When the state grants a railway a charter and a town grants it the right of way, the railroad company can take at a fair appraised value any property lying in the line of its survey, provided the owner refuses to sell at an agreed price. That covers the facts in this case. You refuse to sell the company a strip on the south side of your orchard. The state says to the company, 'We give you the right to appropriate that land at our appraisal' It's no use for the owner to protest. The law can do nothing for him. If there was a ghost of a chance to fight, Cyrus, I'd be glad to do what I could for you. But a lawyer can't do anything when there's no law on his side.\" Colonel Bowker tipped his chair back and threw one leg over the corner of his littered table. An old man, trembling with impotent rage, sat in a rickety armchair on the other side of the table. His chin quivered and his thin lips kept opening and shutting as the senior village lawyer spoke. \" Then ef the law can't do anything for me I'll do it for myself,\" cried the old man, bringing his withered fist down on the arm of the chair. \" I'll see ef a man kin be robbed of what's be'n his'n for 50 year and be'n in the family for more'n a hundred!\" \"i hope you won't do anything rash, Cyrus,\" said the colonel blandly. \"It's a case where the welfare of the many overrides the welfare of the individual, you see. The law provides no recourse for the individual in such a case.\" \"I got done with th? law, I tell ye!\" shouted the old man fiercely. \" I'm dependin on myself now. I said ef the law couldn't help me I'd help myself. I'll see ef they kin run their consarned trains through my orchard without my permission. A man's proputty's his own. The' ain't no law that kin knock that fact out o' the Ten Commandments.\" Colonel Bowker accompanied his irate client to the door. \"Better be cautious, Cyrus,\" he said as the old man plunged down the steps. \"Don't do anything in a hurry. Take time to think it over. And remember that I am always ready to advise you on any point that may come up.\" Cyrus Stackpole drove home in a blind rage.\" He was one of those old men who are as set as tbe everlasting hills, and the fact that everything seemed to be arrayed against his will in this instance only served to make his resolve strong. He was bound and determined that the new railroad should not pass through his orchard. There was no particuliar reason why it should be denied this right of way except that Cyrus had taken a notion not to allow it. The trees in the orchard had been set out by his father's father, and their knotted and wrinkled trunks and limbs had long since passed the age of fruit bearing. They only served to cumber the ground, but Cyrus would not cut them down and plant new ones. They were a part of the old order of things, and Cyrus was a conservative of the conservatives. A peck of bitter, worm eaten windfalls from the old trees was more to his liking than a bushel of sound and toothsome fruit from younger and more vigorous stock. That the pert modern railroad should desecrate his venerable orchard was not to be endured. It went against the old man's grain, and that grain was exceedingly tough. As it happened, however, Cyrus Stackpole fell into the clutches of a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism soon after his visit to Colonel Bowker's law office and about the time when the railroad men came to grade and prepare the roadbed across his orchard. The work was all done while the old manwas groaning and fuming in bed, and by the time he got about again the ties and rails were laid through his orchard. Then the first train came along, roaring triumphantly and vomiting black smoke over what remained of the ancient; apple trees. Upon this Cyrus bestirred himself, though physical exertion still sent excruciating pains through his joints. The regular passenger train schedule had been in operation just a day when he began to do for himself what the law could not or would not do for him. At 3 o'clock on a Tuesday, afternoon, his wife having driven to the village, Cyrus hitched up a yoke of oxen and began to drag stumps from the stump fence on the north side of the orchard to the railroad b.d. He chose the largest and soundest and toughest stumps he could find and by 6 o'clock had a formidable fence built across the railroad on the exact boundary of his orchard. The roots of the stumps bristled in the direction from which the next train would approach, the train from Wilmington, due to pass at 8 o'clock in the evening. Should a locomotive strike those formidable roots the butt of the stump would only be driven firmer in the ground. Something would have to stop or smash, and Cyrus felt confident that it would not be the stump; It was several minutes past 6 when the horn blew for supper. Cyrus was glad of the extra time and glad that his field of operations was hidden from the house by a rise of land. When he came slowly up from the orchard with the tired oxen, his wife met him at the back door. \" Here's a letter for ye,\" she said. \"Supper's a leetle mite late, but the old mare limps so I couldn't git home as soon's I planned. Better read the letter 'fore ye set down to eat, hadn't ye ?\" \" No,\" answered Cyrus, limping to the barn with the oxen. i( It'll keep until arter I've had a cup o', tea, I reckon.\" Cyrus Stackpole ate his supper deliberately and then sank into the old padded rocker by the window and opened his letter. Hardly had he commenced to read it when, with a startling cry, he sprang to his feet again and ran stumbling to the barn. Her husband's cry and sudden leap caused Mrs. Stack- pole to drop a lot of plates she was carrying to the sink, but not even the terrific crash of broken crockery elicited the slightest attention from Cyrus. The letter had fluttered from the old man's hand to the floor as he ran, and Mrs. Stackpole stooped and picked it up with shaking fingers. Something in that letter, she knew, had caused her husband's sudden dismay. She turned first to the signature. It was from Frank, their own dear boy, from whom they had not heard for two years and whom they had about given up for dead, since he disappeared in the Alaskan goldfields. He wrote: Dear Father and Mother\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI am coming home at last\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda rich man! Have been out of the world, practically, since I wrote you last\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdliving in a hut 200 miles beyond civilization, Will tell you all when I see you. Look for me next Tuesday evening. I learn that you have a new railroad now, and lean reach you by train the same evening I get to J 1 MMmCT5nn^^ THE NELSON ECONOMIST 9 h K y Wilmington. God bless you both 1 Lovingly Frank. What was there in that blessed letter that could have caused her husband such distress? Mrs. Stack- pole wiped the tears of joy from her eyes and sped out to the barn. \" Cyrus,\" she cried, \" what on airth air ye doing?\" Cyrus was hurriedly replacing the yoke on the necks of the weary oxen. His eyes trembled. His face was overspread with an ashen gray pallor. \" Git out o' the way 1\" he shouted as he lashed the oxen from the barn, the long chain that dangled from the yoke clattering behind. He caught a lantern from a nail and hurried after the startled and bewildered beasts. \"Where air ye going, Cyrus ?\" demanded his wife, following the distracted old man as he led the oxen over the crest of the hilLto the orchard bars. Cyrus made no reply, and his wife followed him. Then she saw the bristling stump fence across the railroad, and the whole dreadful truth flashed upon her. Cyrus had built a fence to stop or wreck the next train, and that was the very train that Frank had written he should take from Wilmington! The village station was a mile beyond the Stack- pole farm. The train would not have even begun to slow down when it passed through the orchard. It was already getting dusk. It; would be pitch dark by the time the train came along in just an hour. v Cyrus Stackpole never looked at his wife, but worked with feverish hasie, and she did not interrupt him, for she knew that every moment was precious. The oxen strained mightily at the great stumps, but they were so crowded togt'.ther. and in terlocked th at it was hard to get them off the track. Cyrus had performed his ta?k unfortunately well. \"Light the 1 ah ter n!\" cried the panting old- m an ,at last. His wife took the match he flung her and k i rid led- the slight flame in the dusty globe. Cyrus 'bent and adjusted the chain anew by the candle's feeble light. Then the oxen strained together once more, but the bigge&t stump of all would not move. The long, tough roots were wedged between and under the rails. \"God !\" groaned the old man. It was the shortest of prayers, but it was a prayer and not an imprecation. \" Hark!\" cried the trembling old wife. From far off through the darkness came a faint rumbling sound. It was the evening train from Wilmington! \" Cyrus,\" exclaimed the woman,\"red light'll stop 'em. I've heard so. Hain't w\ufffd\ufffd got anything to make a red light with? Quick!\" Cyrus disgorged the contents of all his pockets at one sweep. Among them was an old fashioned red bandanna handkerchief. Plis wife seized it, with a cry of joy, and, catching up the lantern, hastened down the track toward the approaching train. She turned up the wick of the lantern until it smoked furiously. Then she wrapped the red handkerchief around the globe, held the lantern up in both hands and slowly swayed it to and fro. <% The train was almost upon her before the engineer saw the faint red signal. But the airhreaks did their magic work, and the engine stopped within 20 feet of the last huge, bristling stump of Cyrus Stack- pole's fence across the railroad. Frank Slackpole was one of the first passengers to leap from the intercepted train. \" What in thunder\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhy, father's old orchard!\" he exclaimed. \" And here's\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmother 1\" He caught a tottering, gray haired figure in his strong arms. Mrs, Stackpole, like all heroines, had first accomplished her dead and then fainted away. The railroad company did not enter a complaint against Cyrus Stackpole. His big, black bearded, healthy son may have had something to do with that and he may not. Very likely the unrestricted and undisputed right of way through the old man's orchard was an inducement. At any rate, the matter was dropped, and Cyrus Stackpole proved to be so subdued in spirit that only two days after his stump fence disappeared from the track he rode through his own orchard on one of the detested trains on his way to Wilmington \"with his son to buy a brand new suit of clothes and \" see the sights.\" a The Lady of the Divorces Oh, how absurd!

The President of Mexico, General Porfirio Diaz, whose wise policy and firm hand have carried his nation to front rank of Spanish-speaking countries, is noted for the studied courtesy with which he treats all with whom he comes in contact, hut he is not without a keen sense of humor. He gained national prominence and won his spurs at tlie battle of Puebla, where the Liberal forces made a gallant but ineffectual stand against the French who had invaded Mexico for the purpose of erecting a throne for Maximilian. Notwithstanding the fact that the Mexican forces were defeated, their defense againnt superior numbers was bo gallant that the anniversary of the battle of the fifth of May became a national holiday in Mexico. A brusque Yankee once asked the President : \" Why do you Mexicans celebrate a defeat, when you know that the French finally took Puebla?\" President Diaz, vvith a twinkle in his eye, replied ; \" Perhaps we have imitated tho 'Americans' even to the extent of celebrating our defeats, for I. have been told that the British defeated the Colonists at the battle of Bunker Hill, and yet vou built a monument to commemorate the m event.\" I m I! 31 I I 1 1 SI 1 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdW i II I IF I M F i i I I Jl \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI H I i MMMUHM1MIM). 10 THE NELSON ECONOMIST i r I\" 8 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd** When the new furnaces are installed the Granby smelter will be the largest gold-copper smelting plant in the world.

Geo. Alexander has bonded ^the Fletcher group, at Whitewater, for $35,000,10 percent, of the purchase price being paid down. The Fletcher Bros, and Mr. Moulse are the owners. The Enterprise company has de cided upon opening up the big vein on that property, which parallels the small vein on the west. Two drifts have been started on the lead just below the No. 3 workings and success is being met with. The vein is easily 12 feet wide and is more of a concentrating proposition, fair values being obtairedon the surface, It can be traced almost from the Iron Horse up on to the Ohio on the summit, but no work has ever been done to prove its merit. Mining men predict big tilings ofthe vein. There is a great demand for min ing property throughout the Fort] Steele district. The property must have merit, and if anyone can show up a claim, with development sufficient to attract attention, money for its purchase is obtainable. Prospects are not in demand, in fact it is almost impossible to place them. A number of important deals have been perfected at Fort Steele during the past month, capital is now coming into the district. The bonding of the Grace Dore claim on Wild Horse creek, and the purchase of placer ground on Perry creek, will do much for the future development of South East Kootenay.- -Fort Steele Prospector. (Cranbrook Herald) A trail has been built by the government from Kitchener to the White Grouse properties, a distance of 24 miles. P. B. Bailey is pushing work on his Pretoria claim near Swansea., He says that the lead is widening and the ore shoot seems to be changing from galena to copper. The work on the shaft on the placer ground at Perry creek is going ahead, and last week the clean up averaged over $18 to the man. The force in the shaft has been reduced the past week as a number of men are engaged in the construction of the bunk house and get ting everything in shape for winter. When this is done three shifts will be put on, and the work pushed during the winter. The pay dirt is showing up better than ever. \"Pat\" Quirk, the well known old timer, who was here in the early sixties, has lately been acting in a new role, as an instructor to lady prospectors at Palmer Bar. Last week he brought in a bottle of gold panned by Mrs. Watts and Mrs. McPeake. It is an interesting fact that this gold was taken out of land prospected for over a week by a well known local mining expert and six assistants, who failed to raise a color. A. E. Watts, of Palmer Bar, was in town Friday and brought with him some fine looking gold that had been taken out of the ground near his place. Mr. Watts says the showing from panning is vo good that he intends to install an hydraulic plant and work the ground on an extensive scale. John Leask has a sample of the gold taken from the surface on Lamb creek, He is interested in one of the claims there and in all probability will have the property worked. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd KOOTENAY CO FEE ECO.
