DECEMBER  4.  1912.\nPRICE FIVE CENTS\nGREECE REEUSES TO\nSIGN PEACE PROTOCOL\nTurkish and Bulgarian Delegates Conclude Matters, Latter\nRepresenting 'Servia and Montenegro\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAbstention May\nMean Serious Split Among Allies\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAttitude of Athens\nUnexplained-Turkey to Enter Balkan Cuitoms League.\nHALE MILLION EOR\nEIRST YEAR'S WORK\nLondon, Dec. 3.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe protocol arranging an armistice was signed late\nthis evening by the Turkish and Bulgarian delegates, the latter representing also Servia and Montenegro.\nPrior to this there had been a long\nsitting of the Turkish council of ministers to consider fresh proposals\nsubmitted by the allies.\nApparently the Greek delegate did\nnot sign the protocol. At present\nnothing Is known definitely on this\npoint or of the terms of the armistice\nas revised today.\nThe refusal of Greece to sign the\narmistice ls susceptible of different\nInterpretations.\nLondon la Likely.\nIn the flrst place as a tacit armistice has been ln existence more than\na week lt Is not Impossible that the\nnegotiations may have served to\nbring ahout an agreement on the\ngeneral principles of the peace terms,\nsuch as would promise the speedy arrangement of a peace treaty when the\nconference meets as is now expected\nln London. In this case the fact that\nGWece Is standing out from the peaco\nprotocol would not be of great importance.\nIn the second place the Greek abstention may mean a serious split\namong the allies, arising from jealousies concerning the possession of\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Saloniki and the lnslstance of the\nGreeks on the capitulation of Adrlanople, Scutari and Janina.\nJ Turkey Tested Greece.\nOther factors that may influence\nthe situation are to be found tn   the\nfact that Turkey recently sought to\nconclude a separate treaty of peac<j\nwith Greece, that Bulgaria apparently\nis not unwilling to euter into an alliance with Turkey, and that the alliej\nare desirous thut Turkey shall enter\nthe Balkan Customs League.\nThere is a rumor In Sofia that a\nsuggestion has been made to sub\nstitute Roumania for Greece in the\nBalkan League. It seems clear from\nthe report that Bulgaria will ignore\nthe Greek offer to laud an army tn\nGallipoli Peninsula and to send her\nfleet to attack the Dardanelles, that\nthe relations between Greece and Bul\ngaria are greatly strained and these\nsignB of dissension among the allies\nleave the situation full of dangerous\npossibilities.\nCan Continue War.\nIt is reported that France Is trying\nto persuade Greece to adopt a lesj\nunyielding attitude. It ls understood\nthat financial pressure and the exhaustion of their forces had much to\ndo with the willingness of Bulgaria\nand Servla to conclude peace, and ln\nthis respect, Greece, wliich securea\nher victories with less expense, is better able to continue hostilities.\nBulgarians Kill Greeks.\nLondon, Dec. 4.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdA Vienna despatch\nto the Daily Telegraph that official\nquarters there have received information that the dissensions between the\nGreeks and Bulgarians have become\nserious and that 250 Greeks were\nkilled when 3000 of their troops at\ntempted forcibly to occupy the town\ncf Serres. which was already occupied\nby Bulgarians.\nRAILWAY SILENT ON\nTERMINAL QUESTION\nEnglish Bondholders Want Say in the\nMatter\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdDevelopments In Ferry\nService Expected.\nPROMINENT  TYPO   LEAVES\nThe remarkable silence of the officials of the Canadian Northern Hail-\nway Company regarding the location\nof their terminals on the False Creek\ntide flats, Vancouver, ls a matter\nwhich ls being followed closely by\nresidents of New Westminster.\nIt ls only a matter of two weeks ago\nthat everything appeared to bave!\nbeeu fixed up between the company\nand the city of Vancouver. Sinew\nthen, however, no word has been received from the head officials and a\ngeneral belief ls prevalent that pressure is being brought to bear which\nwtll result ln the changing c\" Liu\nwhole plans of the railway as for \ufffd\ufffds\nterminals aro concerned. !\nA few days ago a Vancouver morn-1\nlug   paper   came   out   with the an- j\nnouncement that the   English   bond-1\nholders wbo had been Induced to buy j\nPort Maun property on the strength j\ntbat lt was to be the western terminal of tbe C. N. R., are kicking at the i\nproposal to locate on the False Cree.-; '\nflats, and the continued silence leatU\nto the belief that the C. N. 11. are not\ndesirous  of  euterlng  Into  an  agreement with Vancouver in this regard.\nColonel A. D. Davidson, who has\nbeen the spokesman for the C. N. R.\nIn all western terminal matters, is\nnow In the East, and Is not expected\nto return for several weeks. ThiB\nagain lends color to the above.\nA rumor Is now being circulated\nthat the C. N. R. Ib preparing plans\nand will soon let the contract for the\nconstruction of a line from Port Mann\nto Steveston, near the mouth of the\nPraser. Should this be correct, It ls\nprobable that the company is preparing to locate Its ferry terminals at\nthat point to connect with a port on\nVancouver Island, which wlll also\nlink up with Victoria.\nTbe oompany haa repeatedly given\nout statements that a ferry service\nwould be located near the mouth of\nthe Fraser and developments are expected In thla regard within a very\nshort time.\nFor   Upper  Country  on  Tour\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdPlans\nfor Labor Celebration.\nMr. R.

T. U. Mr.\nStoney ls Just recovering from a\nserious illness, but expects to feel flt\nenough to visit the various small\ntowns of the Interior, where he will\npay special attention to the territory\ncovered by the Vernon local.\nHe expects to be away from the\ncity until Christmas time and after\nthe New Year will visit points on\nVancouver Island and Prince Rupert.\nAs the Royal City Is planning a mon\nster labor celebration for Labor Day.\n1913, this trip will give Mr. Stoney a\ngood chance of informing union men\nthroughout the province upon the progress this city Is making. He will\nurge the different locals to make preparations for being repiesented at the\ntime of the celebration. i\nAll Quiet In Surrey.\nSo far there Is not even the simmering of an agitation for a change\nin the personnel of the Surrey municipal councll and up to the present It\ndoes not seem likely there will be a\ncontested election.\nWESTMINSTER FIRM\nHELPS VANCOUVER\n8CHOOL TRUSTEES PECK\nANO THORNBER CONSIDERING\nInterviewed     yesterday     Trustees\nPeck and Thornber   of   the   school\nboard, whose terma expire ln January,\n\\\\ stated that they had not definitely de-\n* ' elded whether they would stand for\nre-election.\nThe chief consideration with both\nIs the time lt takes to attend to the\nduties of trusteeahlp, but they expect\nto be in a position to announce their\nintentions during the latter part of\nthis month.\nAt the exfrlry of thla tarm Mr. J.

SU\nthousand dollars ia mentioned aa tho\ncontract price, while the company will\nretain all the material from the ofc\nstructure.\nA pile driving outfit will leave Westminster thla morning ln tow of the\ntug Firefly and will be taken around\nthe point to False creek. The wrecking work will consume about two\nmontha' time, and Includes the lowering of one steel span and a draw span\nalso on to scows, which will be taken\nand stored at aome convenient point\nnear Vancouver.\nThe company ls now located ln\ntheir new offices at room 610 Watt\nminster Trust block. Two of their\noutfits are at present working at the\nFraser Mills on the new cedar mill\nbeing built by the Canadian Western\nLumber Company. The Pile Driving\nCompany haa a dredge' at work at\ntbat point deepening the channel so\nthat booms can be floated at low\nwater.\nAccording to Mr. Jones of the Pile\nDriving Company, more work Is In\nsight tban ever before in the history\nof the city ahd he did not expect nny\nlay-offs for hla men at all. The company Is at present figuring on large\ncontracts through the whele of the\nlower mainland.\nIs Expenditure Planned Should Steel\nCorporation  Make  Satisfactory\nArrangements With City.\nIf the Clarlie & Lewis Steel Corporation can make a satisfactory\nagreement with the city in securing\nthe necessary site for the establishment of a big plant they will be prepared to go ahead four months after\nthe papers are signed with the actual\nconstruction work on the buildings of\na plant and expend the sum of at\nleast $500,000 within one year.\nThis much was given out by Mr.\nStuart Wade, who has been conducting the preliminary negotiations with\nthe steel concern.\nFurthermore Mr. Wade stated that\nthe provisional arrangements of the\nconcern provide for an additional expenditure of $1,000,000 the following\nyear and increasing amounts year by\nyear after until the total sum of\n$10,000,000 ts outlayed.\nWhat considerations required from\nthe city by the corporation have only\nbeen discussed tentatively so far and\nnothing will be definitely decided\nupon until the principals meet the\ncouncil some time during this month.\nIt is expected, however, that something along the line cf the lease jusi\ngiven the Schaake Machine Works\nwill be suggested.\nThe Westminster branch of the\nLewis & Clarke Steel Corporation, as\nit is planned to have it called if tbe\nnegotiations are carried through successfully, will be run In conjunctloi.\nwith tbeir plant now being established at Chambers Creek, near Tacoma\nand also the Tacoma Railway and\nMarine Terminal Company. The proposed expenditure of $500,000 the\nfirst year here wlll be for the purpost\nof erecting the buildings and supplying the necessary equipment for the\nplant.\nIt is understood that Mr. Henry\nHewitt, Junior, a multi-millionaire ot\nTacoma, identified with the corporation, has under his control vast mineral and coal deposits on this coast\nwhich will probably supply in part the\nmaterial necessary for the work of\nthe plant immediately after establishment.\nAt both New Westminster and\nTacoma it Is intended to erect a modern iron and steel manufacturing\nplant with complete modern blast\nfurnaces, open hearth steel plant, rolling mill and kindred industries including a gas plant. The works when\nin operation wiil have an actual completed working capacity of 100 tons\nof finished product per day.\nOne of thc difficulties in the past\nwith large steel plants has been the:\nobtaining cf the necessary fluxing j\nmaterial, but it is also understood\nthat the corporation holds a fifty year\ncontract which v 111 supply it with the\ncrude material.\nWAY NOW CLEAR\nTOR NAVAL BILL\nLaurier Votes Against Nationalist Amendment on\nNavy Question.\nFRUITS, LEASTS AND\nrURTHER PUBLICITY\nHis Own Move   Censuring   Ministers\nOver Recent Elections Is Defeated\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAddress Adopted.\nOttawa, Dec. 4.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBy a vote of 110\nto 71 Sir Wilfrid Laurler's amend\nment to the address from the throne\nwas rejected by the Commons at\nmidnight.

Their features aro regular\nand good and they have very d.-uk eyea\nand silky hair. They, paint under\ntheir fetching orbs and stain their\nhands and nails a reddish color with\nhenna. These far-away damsels live\nin groat seclusion in lar^'e white\nhouses, never going out in the daytime from one year's end to another.\nA little cooking and sweetmeat mak\ning is their tnly recognized employment, though some few of thein can\ndo beautiful embroidery. To lie on\ntheir beds and be fanned by their\nslave girls is the usual occupation of\ntbe richer women of Zanzibar. When\nthey choose to visit or, as is more often tho case, to perambulate the town,\nthey wait until darkness hus well s,et\nin and after a gun has been fired,\nwarning all that it is the lost hour of\nprayer, then they may go out. But\nthey go entirely enveloped in a Urge\nmantle and their faces are completely\nhidden by very ugly gilt masks, with\noblong slits for the eyes.\nMany of them even wear these\nmasks in the privacy of their homes.\nTheir other garments are trousers and\na tunic reaching below the knees,\nwliich is often embroidered and trimmed with gold braid. They wear numerous ornaments of gold and silver,\nsuch as ear-rings, nose rings, bracelets, anklets and necklaces. Whenever these mystic women travel any\ndistance they ride through the narrow\nstreets on large white asses stained\na brick red, their slaves running hy\ntheir sides, and at night their slaves\nsurround them, each carrying a lantern as big as a street lamp. They\nnil return to their homes before 4 in\nthe morning, when another gun is Bred, signalizing the Mohammedan's\nfirst hour of prayer.\nHe  Really Needed the  Money.\nTlie envoy of the Sultan of Morocco\nhad an unanswerable argument when\nthe French Government objected to\nthe income of $800,000 which he demanded for his master. The French\nMinister of Finance pointed out thnt\nsuch an allowance was impossible,\nseeing that the President of the republic himself drew only $300,000 s\nyear. \"Yes,\" replied the envoy, \"but\nthen it is to be remember that President Fallieres has only one wife,\nwhereas my august master, the Sultan, has thirty.\" That envoy waa evi-\n! dently a man of parts. He knew exactly where the shoe pinched snd\nhow to base revenue upon expenditure. And his computations were eminently fair. A more mercenary envoy\nwould have insisted upon a flat rate of\n$300,000 a year per wife which would\nhave amounted to $9,000,000 a year\nfor the thirty ladies. But he was\nwilling to allow wholesale prices and\nthe usual reductions upon a quantity.\nIn fact, he brought the rate down to\nabout $26,000 a year per wife, nnd\nthose of us who have wives will know\nthat ihe estimate was a reasonable\nand proper one.\nBe Sunny.\nAlmost everybody will admit thnt a\nsense of humor and a love of fun tide\ntheir possessors over some very real\nsorrows.

P. R.\nterminals. Roughly it embraces the\nflat, low-lying ground between the Pitt\nand Coquitlam rivers, and the small\narea of high ground known as Mary-\niiill, on the Kraaer river frontage. To\nbreak up the original municipality into petty townships is, I think, a grav?\nmistake, and a retrograde step, entire\nly out of harmony with the progre3\nsive spirit of the times.\nThe original municipality, with it*\nmatchless diversity of surface, ls an\nideal one whereon to found a great\ncity, and fussy, hurried attempts to\nbread it up as at present, should be\nfirmly resisted, lf the interests in the\nproposed area are of such a special\ncharacter as to require special treat\nment the remedy lies in forming it into a special district, as provided for in\nthe existing municipal laws. If the\npromoters of this absurd scheme are\nbent on going to the Provincial Government let them do so, but the rate\npayers should insist that the cost falls\non the promoters, and not on the general body of ratepayers.\nThe crudities of the proposal are sn\nobvious that serious discussion ts j\nneedless. Only one item, that of the I\nname, may be selected as a sample.\nThe proposed name for this pompous\nproposal is \"Port Coquitlam.\" To a\nnavigator that means a port on the\nCoquitlam. But the port is not to be\non the Coquitlam river at all, but upon the Pitt river. Navigators' law and\ncommon sense would dictate that the\nport should be named after the rive.-\nwhere lt is located.and thus the name\nof the would-be city should be Por'\nPitt. There is Lake Coquitlam, River\nCoquitlam, and latterly Mount Fo-\nnuitlam, but few people seem to know-\nthat the original residential CoqultIa.tr\nIs outside the limits of the present\nmunicipality, and is located at the no\noer end of Burrard Inlet, within the\ntownship of Port Moodv. where traces\nnf the old settlement have been\nfound.\nI am your, etc.,\nWILLIAM SINCLAIR.\nDunpenderhame.\nDec. 2, 1912.\nA  M\nBOOK NOW\nFOR THE\nOLD COUNTRY\nChoice of Railroad and Ocean Steamship Lines .\nLet Us Tell You About the Tourist Sleeping\nCars and Other Facilities for Your\nAccommodation and Pleasure.\nH.

WAUPH  HAS MANY\nIRONS IN TH- FIRE.\nRE-ENACTING HISTORY\nEnergetic Westerner Who Hae Been\nElected Vice-President ol the\nUnion of Canadian Municipalities\nWas a Pioneer In the Good Roads\nMovement and Has Worked For\nBaths and .' laygrounds In His City.\nTwenty-nine yeara ago, a Scotch\nlad, fifteen years old, came to Winni\npeg and got a job in a law office at\nnot much per week. T-day he ie\nRichard Deans Waugh, mayor of the\n' city, who recently was elected vice-\n. president of the Union of Canadian\nMunicipalities. Few men with as mea-\nI gre a chance have got ahead as fast\nin Winnipeg as the mayor. H) has\nmade a large fortune in land and in\nfinancial manoeuvring, and at the\nsame time li-s found time to identify\nhimself with the big movement*\nwhich bave m.Je Winnipeg the buckle of the wheat belt.\nMr. Waugh'a fir^t venture as a muni-\npal politician was when he served\non the Cycle Paths Board. Strange,\nbu' he lias never lost sight of the\nGood Roads idea.    It was largely his\nDOi-LARD'S      BATTLE      FOUQH1\nOVER AGAIN AT LONG SAULT.\nmavou r. n. wapoh.\nadvocacy of the \"Good Roads Bill\"\nwhich got that measure through the\nManitoba Legislature last session. In\n1903 he was first elected to the Board\nof Control. In tho following two years\nhe was re-elected controller. In 1911\nhe became mayor of the city. A feature of his work is that Mr. Waugh\nhas done much to extend sanitary\nfacilities in Winnipeg. He was the\npioneer worker for the public bath.;\nand playgrounds in the city.\nPersonally, the mayor is of the very\nlikeable, popular, earnest type of eiti-\nzer.  Though a very busy  man  he is\nnot at all of a fogey.    He belongs to\nat  least  a dozen  athletic clubs;   Mr\nWaugh   is   an   enthusiast  nt  curling.\nI cr' 'eet and swimming.   He has per\nI haps a preference for the Scotch garni\nof   curling,   and   is   president  of   the\nI Granite Club, the parent curling club\nof the city.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdCanadian Courier.\nSmoking  In Churches.\nThe vicar of Lancaster, Eng., whr\nhns h 'en obliged to put up a notice\nforbidding visitors to smok\" in\nchurch, may not know that smoking\nin church is not only irreverent, but\na breach 0? the English law. Some\ntime ago an Essex farm laborer was\nseea t \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd be smoking when he entered\nthe church -for watch-night service,\nand smoke afterward was observed to\nbe issuing from his pew. H\" received\nii smnrt fine in court next day. Had\nth^ offender lived one or two centuries\nr i he could have smoked with im-\nLunity in church. Wooden spittoons\nfilled with sawdust were placed about\nthe church for the smokers, and they\nsometimes left their long clays, .ir\n\"church-wardens,\" in the care of the\nvergtr until next Sunday came\naround. It is toli of the incumbent\nof a Warwickshire church that he\nused to emoke regularly in the vestry\nwhile tho congregation were singing\nthe l.ymn before the sermon. He\nmade a point of selecting a long\nhymn to give himself time to get\nthrough his pipe. \"My people,\" he\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdaid, \"like long hymns, but I prefer a\nlonw pipe.\"\nThen His Smile Faded.\nRanis-\/ Calles in his reminiscences\ngays he was once traveling in a smoking compartment on an l-ish railwuy.\nLie only other persrtn in the compartment was a gentleman who was\nsnioking i pipe with evident satisfaction, but whose tobacco had a particularly disgusting smell. Not having\nany tobocoo himself with 'which to\novercome this appalling smell, Mr.\nCalles ofwrfed the window. But the\nweather was very cold, and he was\nobliged to shut it again almost at\none*'. It then . ocurred to him that\npossibly good lumored remonstrance\nmight prevail and abate the nuisance, so he said, with a conciliatory\nsmile, \"Pardon me, sir, but really\nyour tobacco would poison a toad.\"\nWithout moving a muscle of his face\nthe smoker took his pipe from his\nmouth ajid replied:\n\"Evidently!\"\nBUSINESS DIRECTORY\nPlants  Which  Look  Like Stones.\nIn South Africa there is found a\nplant of the genus Mesembryanthe-\nmum growin;: on stony ground, which\nio closely re*i!mblos a pebble that it\nis ifiVHriubly taken by the stranger to\nbe a stone. Another species of the\nsame plunt produces two leaves about\nas large as ducks' eggs, having a surface resembling weathered stone of\nbrownish gray color, tinged with\ngreen. These plants look like stones;\nbut for a short time they put forth\nbright yellow flowers. Still another\nsriecit'8 of the same plant resembles I\ntnd quarts Debblea among which it!\ni grows.\nMoving Picture Artists Ha\/i Spent tht\nSummer Reconstructing Scenes\nFrcm Canadian History and Havs\nLeased the Place With a View to\nReturning Next Year\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdStory of Dol\nlard   Is Their First Effort.\nDown'on the St. Lawrence River-\nat Lake St. Joseph\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda staff of moving\npicture actors and operators are engaged on a work whicii is of interest\nto all Canadians, and particularly tc\nstudents of Canadian history. They\nare reconstructing for generations t\ufffd\ufffd\ncome, scenes from the early days ol\nthe French in the new world. Thif\nsummer has been spent on the story ol\nUollard and his fight at the Long\nSault.\nThe south shore of Lake St. Louis,\nwhich is an expansion of the St.\nLawrence river, two miles above the\nIndian village of Caughnawaga, is in\na state of nature\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda woodland with\nopen glades here and there, bordered\nby haw-trees red with ripe Iruit, and\noccasionally a butternut mul maple\nconverted into.natural arbors by the\ntniililig vines of the wild grape, from\nwhich the fruit hangs in purole clusters. A little bay sets in. The watei\nis shallow, and on the sand bars\nrushes benj before the current. The\nbank is sandy, but a maple grove ol\nsecond growth comes down a'most tn\nthe water. This is the natural stage\non which Dollard's heroic deeds are\nbeing \"acted ' for the benefit, not ol\nspectators on the spot, but for thi\nwonderful camera that catches the\nviews for the motion picture show.\nBack a little distance are the cottage-like buildings erected for the use\nof the permanent staff\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfor the company has leased the shore for a number of yenrs. and will use it summer\nafter summer as a stage on which\nto reproduce dramatic scenes from our\nearly history. Theie modern habitations, of course, never appear in the\npictures.\nExcluding these buildings of raw.\nnew lumber, the remainder of the\ncamp makes it easy for the visitor\nto imagine that he is back in early\ntimes, when at any moment a bloodthirsty Iroquois was likely to spring\nfrom behind a tree with tomahawk ot\nscalping knife in hand. Here is a\ncluster of tepees, or lodges of bark\nand skin, each bearing the outline ol\nthe totem of its occupants, but the\nwhole discolored hy smoke and dirt.\nThese are the lodges of Dollard's\nHuron allies. A few yards distant,\nbut somewhat nearer tlie shore, are\nlodges of rushes ingeniously woven,\nthe wliole capped by comical-shaped\nroofs of birch-hark. These most pie-\nturcrjue but equally uncomfortable\ndweliinsrs housed the Algonquin warriors, who, be it slid to their credit,\nstood more loyally by Dollard than\ndid the Htttotu, wiio went over to the\nenemy.\nIn another part of the camp is'a\nlog building, constructed exactly a^\nwere the buildings of the first settlers.\nThe legs are ioined togi ther and the\ncrevices are filled witli moss and clay,\nand clay is the mortar, that holds\ntogether the rough stone of which\nthe chimney is built. No iron is used\nin th:!. structure. The hinges on the\ndoors and windows are of wood, and\nso too, are the latches.\nNot far away is the altar, at which\nDullard and his companions received\nthe sacrament before setting out on\ntheir expedition; end back in the\nwood\ufffd\ufffd is the stockade around which\nthe fight raged and in which Dullard\nand his companies were slain.\nSuch is the stage. For actors the\ndramatic profession and the Indians\nof the Cnughnawaga reservation, only\ntwo miles distant, were drawn upon,\nand whites and redmen, whe*i they\n\"actod\" the famous fight were in every sense dressed as were the white\nmen and redmen who fought and died\nat the Long Sault two and a hall\ncenturies ago.\nWhen all this is depicted by motion\npictures the spectators will see the\nfamous fight as complete in every detail as it is possible to make it.\nBuch pictures should certainly possess tho power to thrill, and possibly\nthey will do more. They should not\nfail to stimulate an interest in history, and especially in the history of\nthose early days so filled with the\nstories of heroism and self-sacrifice.\nof those times Dollard and bis men\nwere worthy representatives.\nIt is not necessary here to recount\nthe thrilling story of Dollard's memorable (eat of heroism; but its essential facts may be briefly enumerated.\nThe drama may be said to open with\nthe scene In the church in Montreal,\nIn which Dollard and his French-Canadian associates received the sacrament before setting out on their quest\nof a large band of Iroquois, known to\nhave wintered in the Ottawa Valley\nin order that with the oncoming oi\nspring they may strike New France\na fatal blow by capturing the western\noutpost of Ville Marie, or Montreal,\nthen only eight years old.\nThen follows the voyage in canoes\nfrom Lrxhine up the western arm of\nLake St. Louis, through the Lake of\nTwo Mountains to ite head, where the\nlake contract* and the great watercourse becomes the Ottawa river.\nHere, at the foot of the Long Sault\nthey land, and near the landing place\nthey find the ruins of a rude stockade\nused by the Algonquins a few seasons\nbefore in a fight with tlie Iroquois,\nthe common enemy of Algonquins.\nHurons, and French. On the bank of\nthe river they pitch their tents, swing\ntheir kettles and set about preparing\na meal. The Iroquois shoot the rapids\nand build a camp nearby. Then follow the bloody scenes of the drama.\nAgain and again the Iroquois attack\nDollard's stocked?, but as often as they\nattack they are driven back with\nheavy losses. Reinforcements arrive,\nand at last the Frenchmen are wiped\nout.\nPUBLIC 8TENOGRAPHER.\nSpecifications, agreements of sale,\ndeeds, business letters, etc; circular\nwork specialist.

It lies, says\nReutcr, in the neighborhood of the\ncelebrated Mfumhiro volcanoes, whose\npeaks were first seen hy Speke on his\njourney thn. *gh Ruunda to Uganda.\nThree of the eight volcanoes, one of\nwhich a few years ago showed signs\nof activity, are pi.rtly in British territory.\nThe country traversed and mapped\nby the British Commission is for the\ngreater pnrt of the wildest and\nroughest description, consisting of\nmassive muntains intersected by\nsteep narrow valleys, at the bottoms\nof which are large swamps. Parts of\nth\ufffd\ufffd country are covered with impenetrable forests, others with bamboo.\nThe whole region lies at a high altitude, varying frotn 6,000 feet to 8,000\nfeet above s\"a level, while the volcanoes vary from 11,000 feet to 14,000\nfeet. The climate is, in consequence,\ncool and healthy, but near the volcanoes subject tn violent winds and\nthunderstorms.

A\nportion of the British escort was detached to co-operate with Capt. Reid,\nof the King's African Rifles, in an attack on her position, but before the\ntwo forces joined Cant. Reid had successfully surprised Mumusa, capturing her and dispersing her followers.\nAftrr that no further trouble was experienced.\nBy the delimitation of this portion\nof the frontier the international\nboundaries on the west snd south of\ntha Uganda Protectorate are now\n\"omplete.\nA  Scissor-Grinder's  Will.\nBome years ago a certain David Fen-\nby,   who wae  w6rking   as   a scissor-\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffderinder in  Sheffield  at $6 per week,\nliaving saved a little money\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthanks\nto the assistance of an admirable wife\nwho shared her husband's thrifty habits\ufffd\ufffd\ufffddetermined   to   launch   out   into\nthe   grocery   and   genera',   business.\nThey started with a little shop in a\nback  street,  Fenby  fetching his groceries snd  smallware  from the market on a wheelbarrow, which he hired\nui '.!1 he dould afford to buy one.   Ultimately  he was able to purchase  a\ndonkey and cart, and alter two years\nin his little shop was able -to take a\ngrocer's shop with an off-license, and\nto  pay  $150 valuation.     \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nA few days ago Fenby died worth\nno less than $100,000. A man of keen\nbusiness acumen and energy, he was\nable after nine years' trading in his\ngrocer'a shop, to buy a shop and no\nfewer than nine adjoining houses. At\nthe same time he carried on a business as furniture remover, his wife\nlooking after the shop. He was afterwards able to move to bigger premises\nand became a wealthy man; but he\nand his wife continued to live in a\nvery moderate style until his death.\nMr. Fenby has left bequests of $2,500\neach to four charitable institutions\nof Sheffield.\nA  Very  Funny  Englishman.\nA story is told concerning Beerbohm\nTree, who, after an evening at one of\nthe London clubs, called a hansom\nfrom a nearby stand he frequently\npatronised.\n\"Home,\" shouted Tree to the cabby, who was a new one about town.\n\"Beg pardon,\" said the msn.\n\"Home,\" repeated Tree in commanding tone, and the driver whipped up his horse.
