Recommended to the Cranbrook Herald The "Herald" needs a good pair of glasses— To go round a corner is not taking the straight path We give here the extracts as they appeared In the "Prospector" and "Cranbrook Herald" respectively, sn that our readers can see tor themselves the weak talk our Independent- Llberal opposition paper gives to ita readers : Dr. J. H. King has been nominated byithe Liberals to contest Kootenay. On the outside, throughout the riding, the question is being asked, "Who is Dr. J. H. King ?"—Oranbrook Prospector, For the Information of the Prospector, and any other Rip Van Winkles who do not know what bas been going on in this province during the past ten years, we may nay that on ly dead-allves don't know Dr. King throughout the entire Kootenay district. In every lumbering and mining, camp throughout the vast Kootenay district Dr.'King's name is practically a household word. He is known, esteemed and respected aB few other men in B.C, are. First by reason of his eminence as a medical practitioner, and secondly by hiB ' charm of manner, which has endeared him to hundreds of men, in all walks of life, who have come within hiB ken—Cranbrook Herald. In the flrst place the "Prospector" spoke of tbe Doctor as being the man nominated by the Liberals, and it is as plain as, the nose on a man's face that nothing was said about Dr. King not being the' gentleman that he Ib. How ignorant and blind some people are when they can't see the hond- writlng that 'is clearly written on the "Prospector's" Laugh We have been fortunate in obtaining a series of articles for the "Prospector" that ahould prove of very- great interest to everyone ot our readers at this time. We realize lull well tbe large amount ol political new* that Is appearing in the columns of our papers, and will do so for the neit few weeks, and also how refreshing It will be»for all of ua to enjoy some really good light reading, to turn to it as a thirsty man would to a glass of water or a hungry man to a crust of bread. These writings will appear titled wall and purposely attempts to direct the electors thoughts along an sntlrely different tract. The "Pros rector" wishes to say that there is not another man in Cranbrook or district for whom It bus greater respect for "as a man" and "as a medical practioner" thon it bus for Dr. J. H. King; but, when thc Doctor steps into political circles it Is only right for the people In tbeiwhole of the Electoral Riding to ask "WHO IH THIS DR. KING ?" In another column you will find a communication saying that Dr. King spoke at Golden for over half an hour and never proved a single argument In favor ot reciprocity in its connection for British Columbia. Wc might add that from his own papers even he has not heen able to put up any sound arguments that reciprocity will he really beneficial to the country at large. What we want anil what we are going to have is a man who 'has been through the lire, proven and tested, and found to,be pure gold in his political worth. A. 8. Goodeve is a man of sound political conviction and staunch to the principles he advocates, a man that' has many a time by his convicting arguments made the Liberal lender. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, take a back seat. "Who is Dr. King," again we ask; when placed along by thc side of Mr. A. S. Goodeve hrs political worth is very small. A. S. Goodeve is the Conservative standard bearer and the right man for the right place. as CHATTER AND CHAFF by Paul Spyglass; It is just as well if you were to recommend theBe to your friends and encourage them to read the "Prospector" the oflice stall feel that they will never regret It The Management are arranging for another series of articles from a really good writer; however, further announcement ot this will apivar later. Creston Labor Day Ready for the visitors A. S. Goodeve Held Meeting At Athalmer Friday Evening-Good Attendance Everything is ready for Creston's big Labor Day Celebration. All now necessary is the pressing rrf thc button on the morning of tiro Fourth.

The track, diamond anil road leading to, the park wlll be well watered on the morning of the Fourth. For this, the third annual Labor day celebration, the thanks of the town are due the Park Association, wbo have spared neither cash or energy to give Creston a park and race track that in a year or two will compare with any in the interior of the province of British Columbia. There will be no admission to tbe grounds to witness the day's sport on Labor day. Every event on the program can be witnessed with no cost to sightseers whatever. The programs (nr the day are out. The star attraction being the Bou- nor'a Ferry and Cranbrook baseball match, for which a purse of JUKI is offered, and Creston pays both teams expenses.

Goodeve everywhere met .with a remarkable reception and it seems that the people of the Windermere and Columbia valley are unanimous in their opposition to reciprocity. Mr. Goodeve's speeches brought down the house everywhere we went," said Chester Otis Staples, the well known East Kootenay lumberman, at the Strathcona last night on his return from a trip in company with. Mr. Goodeve through that district. Mr, Goodeve and Mr. Staples srokc at Athalmer, Wilmer, Golden, Field and other points and were greeted with large audiences nt every place. Mr, Staples will be present at thc big picnic at Castlegar today where he will be one of the speakers. The Conservative rally held in the school building Ht Athalmer on Friday evening last was the lurgest in point of numbers ever held in the Upper Columbia Valley—many Llber- hIh being present to bear the issues j of the day discussed by Mr. Goodeve and his lieutenants. Mr. Chisholm, president of the Liberal Conservative : Association for the electoral district j was, on motion of Mr. Frank Richardson called to the chair. Mr. Chisholm made a most pcceptlble ; chairman, and demonstrated that, if i gifted with the pen lie was no less ' gifted with woman's weapi n—the ' tongue. He paid a well deserved tribute of praist' to Mr. Goodeve for ' hfs work on behalf of bis constltuen cy. He referred to the unanimity and enthusiasm exhibited at the Con-1 servative convention at Nelson, anfl , predicted a sweeping victory for Mr. : Goodeve on September 21. Mr. I Chisholm also referred to tbe reel- j proeity pact as nn agreement by ! which Canada would surrender everything without receiving In return a quid pro quo. He declared tint the record of the govornment was as black as a wet gun l.oat. At the conclusion of the ohnirman's remarks which were wel| received, be culled upon Mr. Thompson of Cranhrook, to take the lloor. Mr. Thompson lirst referred to the magnificence of scenery found in tlie Windermere Valley, and the evident prosperity visible on every side. "If you expect that prosperity to continue," he said, "be careful how you work your ballots on the 21st proximo, for no part of Canada will be more injuriously affected than the Kootenay Valley if this pact goes into force." Mr. Thompson declared that Dr. Mr. Thompson's remarks were we'l received and he got an attentive hearing, At the conclusion of bis remarks the chairman called upon Mr. Staples. This gentleman is interested in the lumber trade and he spoke from the point of view of fl lumberman declaring that reciprocity would be the means of killing that i Industry, Mr. Goodeve on rising to speak I was greeted with loud and long con- tinned applause, and the singing of "he's a jolly good fellow." One of the most pleasant incidents in hia < last campaign, he declared, was his visit to tbc Upper Columbia Valley, j King was not running as a Liberal candidate, but as a reciprocity cnn- didate. He, evidently, was ashamed of the record of the government at ■ Ottawa that be could not stand on . a public platform and indorse unrestrictedly that record. He brought; up the Quebec bridge scuudnl und de- ; dared that this scandal alone was; enough to condemn the government, in the eyes of tbe electorate. He also referred to tbe Chinese emigra- ; tion frauds by which large numbers i of Chinese were admitted into ('ana-: da without paying the usual head tax of tive hundred dollars. FUNERAL OF FRED SHERIDAN AT ELKO Last Monday a number of the mem hers of Key City Lodge No. 42, from Cranbrook, went down on the local in the morning to pay their last respects to a departed brother, Fred. Sheriden of Elko, B.C. who was also a member of the Crauhrook lodge. The service was held at the home of the brother at two o'clock, Rev, W. Elson Dunham, Methodist minister of Cranbrook- officiated, the cortege leaving the house at 2,80 p.m. The Oddfellows leading tbe way, the departed brother's remains were carried next, and close behind the pall hearers, also members of the order; \ following closely to these were nearly the whole of the people of Elko I and many who had come In from the | surrounding district to pay their last ; respects to a friend for whom the I highest respect was held and also for Whose sudden demise they were all so sorry to have occur, I Key ('Ity iLodge was represented by Bros. H. White, J. L. Walker, (i. ilteece, E. H. Patmore, F. M. Chris* tiau, R. Dixon, W. H. Hall, J. H. Turnley, R. Mansfield, *1. Rogers, A. M. Fergusson, H. Rendnll. | Visiting brethren from other lodges were F. Ramsey, H. Cody, C. O. Bear, C. A. Sawyer, J. Thompson, |M. Lacey, E. A. Me Bain, J. A. Thompson, Fred Roo, W. Newson, C. Ai Kltngensmlth. L. M. Newson, W. ,R. Cox. f Mr. Thompson also referred to thc charge made by a leading Liberal that Hon. Frank Oliver, minister of the interior, hnd accepted a bribe of $(10,000. He himself would not accuse Mr Oliver of taking this bribe but he claimed that having been accused by one of his own party he should have immediately tendered his resignation. "He not only failed to do this but in the most impertinent way in the world told his accusers that it was none of their blank business ns to where he got the $60,000. He, no doubt, would be blamed by some for not visiting the valley oft- ener, hut his excuse was that he was so much taken up with bis duties as a pai'lianii ntury official that he had not the time to devote to visiting his constituents that he would like to have He claimed tbat he was fairly entitled to the reasonable support of every citizen of the Columbia Valley if for nothing else than bis stand on the Kootfiiny Central railroad. Although tbis constituency hud been represented previous to his (Good- eve's) election hy a Liberal yet he had fgnoniiiiousiy failed in bis duty and voted iu parliament 'or an extension of time to the contractors of the K.C.R. Mr. Goodeve had done all in his power to press forward the building of tins road despite the active hostility of the minister of the interior. Taking up tbe consideration of reciprocity which the Liberals were making the sole issue in the campaign he emphatically declared that reciprocity would be a drag on the wheels of prosperity. Mr. Goodeve was equally emphatic in denying that Conservatives ever wanted tbe present pact. He arranged Sir Wilfrid Laurier for having broken his promises made to the people ot British Columbia that there would be no change made in the tariff until tbe matter would be investigated by a commission, "If I cannot show you," declared the speaker, "that the Conservative party stands for what is in the best interests of the country then I will not ask for one vote." Referring to the administration of lands under Minister of the Interior Oliver, Mr. Goodeve asserted that the minister wus incapable of administering his office properly. Last session Oliver had the hardihood to bring in a hill limiting pre-emption in homesteads to 40 instead of 100 acres. As a result of strong opposition on the part of the Conservatives these laws were afterwards suspended. Dr. King in his speech a few evenings previously had referred to the duty on coal amounting he said, to |1.20 per ton which duty under the pact was to he removed. Mr. Goodeve declared that coal would not be affected at all outside of coal coining into Canadn which would be reduced eight cents a Ion. Mr. (Icodeve held in his hand a document from coal dealers all over Canada declaring their uncompromising hostility to reciprocity. THE FRUIT INDUSTRY Mr. Goodeve showed how under the pact British Columbia will he greatly hurt in tbc prairie provinces to.which we now export our fruit. The province has done much towards building up this industry, and last year the value of the fruit crop was 12,- 500,000. With an older industry, more cleared lands, and cheaper labor. Oregon, .Washington and California will'he able to send fruit into the prairies duty free at a price that will seriously handicap British Columbia in spite of the general better quality of our fruit. Last year the United States sent into Canada four and a half times the quantity,of ripe fruit we sent in to them. Mr. Goodeve asserted that the introduction of reciprocity would have a had effect on the pulp and paper industry. "If this pact goes into force," declare:! the shaker, "these mills will be forced to close down." At the present time the Americans were selling lumber less than the actual cost of manufacturing it. Mr. Goodeve scored the government on their attitude toward a Canadian navy, pointing out that Laurier had actually stood up on the floors of the house and passed a bill to the effect that the mother country might be engaged In war and Canada at peace. He showed how nearly one-fifth of the revenue of Canada went for the upkeep of a navy and militia—expenditure that cannot possibly be of any benefit to Canada or to the people of the Empire. Mr. Goodeve asserted without fear of successful contradiction that it will be impossible for Canada to repeal the pact if she finds it detrimental to her Interests. This was admitted by Mr. Fielding who declared that "this is one of the weaknesses of the pact." Mr. Goodeve concluded a very forcible speech by asking his hearers to vote down reciprocity and to prove true to the mother country for he said commercial union meant commercial suicide. H. parsons, M.P.P. of Golden, also spoke and in a brief but business-like speech eulogized Mr. Goodeve for bis splendid record in parliament. As a parliament ian he hud a .record second to none and he was an honor to the constituency that sent him there. At the conclusion of the speeches cheers were giveu for the King. Mr. Goodeve and the chairman.' The assembly dispersed after singing God Save the King. (From the Wilmer Columbian) Record Land Deal by Fred A.

By .., JOHN W. HARDING . Copyridht. 1908. by G. W Dill.njhtm Co = That "Paid In Fatt" is a story of absorbing interest has been proved by its phenomenal success in dramatic form. For two seasons thero has been no diminution in the drawing power oj this vital piece of realism. Jn its present form it is not toss engrossing. The features which made it so powerful as a play are not less potent in the serial. It is the same heen exposition of human motives put into thc simplest forms of expression. There is no waste of material, no attempt to moralize, no break in the continuity. The three men who are the central figures in the story stand out in admirable distinctness from the very first, and the one woman whose splendid rectitude illuminates it alt lives from the moment of her appearance. Although it is certain to produce frequent thrills, the story is neither melodramatic nor sensational. Its power ties in its humannes3. tlie worse roi wear al U»ti**l ihey wwe liiiin.tnil.iiHy rh'iilt "Cheer up!" iirtimmlshwl one of his fellow clerks, noitilng his III humor Brooks' moods were nevt*i tnkeu ny rlmisly, for wiih him tils u| despond -•my alteruaiitl Wllh a cutttHftlflU* cor din 111 y umt nu optlmii-m Uml knew no tliult.

"Hobion" Wai Owntr ol • Livery Stable. - When we speuk facetiously of «ome. one for whom we hnve tt reverence as having "kicked the bucket" we employ a phrnse that would seem to be a piece of hitter-day slang, but, as a matter ol fact, it dates back to old England, when, about the year 1726, one Bolsover hung himself to a beam while standing; on the bottom of a bucket and then kicked the bucket away. Although at first used only in cases of suicide, It haa applied in the course of years to any death, without distinction. When we lake what we can get and not whnt we want and call It "Hob. son's choice" we are not referring to a gentleman who onci was famous because of his kissing capacity, and is now endeavorintr to scare the wits out of us with dire predictions of h Japanese invasion. The Hobson ot the popular phrase was another one, nnd his vocation was more peaceful, although he prey. ed upon the pocket-honks ol his countrymen. His given name was Tobias, and he was the llrst man in England to run a livery stable and to rent out steeds to tin horseback riding gallants ot lhat lonc-ago dny. While his stable was well filled with horses, they were, as usual, In livery stables, of varying degrees of speediness, but no choice wns permitted his customers. The horse thai stood nearest the door, whethsr he was spavined, ring- boned or a thoroughbred, was the one that the next customer hnd to take, j and they were all rented at the same { rates. Hence "Hobson's choice" came to be a synonym for no choice at ull, which Is the sense in which we use it to-day.

For there is an important difference between ordinary bread and lirst class bread. lt isn't a difference of looks or metliod*. of making or .baking.

The only Grit newspaper in Kootenay during the last election shouted for "the full dinner pail" for Canadian workingmen, and now wants Uncle Sam to get the pail first. lunch out of "I'll tell it straight, for 1 hav- Haid in my haste that all men an liars." • • • • The Grit press all over tlie Domin ion are giving their version, revised to dnte, of what. Sir John Macdonald said In 1891 about reciprocity. That he was In favor of free and unrestricted reciprocity, following is what he actually said when he appealed to the country in February 1891, tho elections taking place nn March 5th of that year, "The adoption of this policy (unrestricted reciprocity) would involve among other things, discrimination against the mother country. "It would, In my opinion, inevitably result in the annexation of this Dominion fo the United States. The advocates of unrestricted reciprocity on this side of the lino deny that it would have such an effect, though Its friends in the United States urge, as the chief reason for Its adoption, that unrestricted reciprocity would be the lirst step in the direction of political union. "I commend these issues to your determination and to the judgment of the people of Canada, with an unclouded confidence thai you will proclaim to thc world your resolve to show yourselves not unworthy-of the proud distinction you enjoy—of brim/ numbered among the most dutiful and loyal subjects of our beloved Queen, As for myself, my course is clear, A Hritish subject. 1 was born --a British subject f will die."

Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1899 said ; "If we kuow the hearts and minds of our people at present, 1 think I am not making too wide a statement when I say thut the general feeling in Canada today Is not in favor of reciprocity. There was h time when Canadians would have given many things to obtain the American mar ket, there was a time not long ago when the market of the great cities of the Cnion was thc only market we had for our products. But thank heaven these days are past and over uow. We ure not dependent upon ihe American market as we were at one time." Attain in 1908 when addressing the Imperial Conference Sir Wilfrid l.nur- ier said . "There was a time when we were wanting reciprocity with the United States, but our efforts aud our oilers were put aside and negatived We have said good-bye to that trade and we now put all our hopes on the Bri tish trade." WHERE THK LIBERALS STAND In 1891 the Liberals were in favor uf unrestricted reciprocity and even annexation. And in 1898 and 1899 we find them protesting against reciprocity aud trude relations with the United States, and even as Lite as LJOS in London, at the Imperial cun fereuce Sir Wilfrid Lauriei distinctly said that Canada does nut want re ciprocity. that we, the people oi Ca nada put our hopes on the British trade. In I'.'l 1 he is strongly in favor of reciprocity, which with commercial union, is closely allied with amiexa tion. Has he not, from the above record, earned the title L-:V-_-n bim '■> the English press as "Mr, Two Face"? Can the people of Canuds trust :!'.'.' affairs of this \>. minion to a govern ment that by Us own record are in iavor of reciprocity, and annexation, a record of mal-adminlstration and ministerial graft that is un& Lalled in any country m the world, un administration where naval policy is a disgrace to the empire, whose sole aim has heen to retain power for LS years hy debauching the resources of the nonunion We think not. province of British Col- want, not HOT AIR. tell the fanners of Win dermere tbat their valley would pro Sper uuder reciprocity, but he failed to prove how it could be done.

Editor of "Prospector".— Mr. Peter Lund of Wardner, manager of the Crow's Nest Pass Lumbei Company, has been publishing in the Kootenay and Alberta newspaper.-, some views he has on reciprocity. Like Hir Wilfrid Laurier, he deals with this issue bolus bolus, making large statements relating to general conditions which, when analyzed In conjunction with the proposed tarlti changes, will not, pear the light, o! minute inspection. So long as Mr. Lund's views arc not taken as the views of the entire lumber industry (this construction was taken hy one of the prairie new papers) no objection can be taken by the other large lumber operators who differ with him on this question. If Mr. Lund could have allowed himself to have n burst of fluency, aud had written along tbe lines tha tariff reform should not be made a political issue; that all of us, in hiding himself, are mostly ignorant if the true effect that will be felt by the proposed clianyes; that on a"- unt of these complex conditions this question should be placed in tb hands of the specialists,—who would form a commission similar to our railway commission,—their entire study being to produce the required revenue with as much ease as possib le to the Canadian people, having well in mind in doing so the promo tion of the growth of Canada first, last, and always;—all would have been well, and with argument ah.n* these lines Mr. Lund would receive the support of the entire lumber in dustry, and all other manufacturing interests. Hut under the conditions which exist, viz., that within th? next thirty days tbe entire population of Canada will have to say "Yes" or "Nii" on a'problematic is sue as far as good is roncerned, with many bad [mints very prominently in evidence. The opinion could I e well founded that in Hritish Columbia the I answer to reciprocity will he "No," ■vith much emphasis. Wtth regard tn Mr. Lund's ph Un throphic remarks abo it tin- rich an tlie poor being entitled to the uectH sitics of life, presumiiii* these refer tt. the products from the United States to Canada, it would be in order ti, point out thai on less than ten per cent, of the dutiable articles do the consumers pay the cuty, and on about ninety per cent, of the dut lalle articles the duty is paid tut of the profits of the manufacturer or the producer. All this goes to sliow that tariff reform has to be dealt with each item statements An Antagonist to Reciprocity RECIPROCITY AND EGGS The quantity of eggs Canada bus for export hus decreased from abj..t three million dozen in 190t". to 82,- 000 dozen last year, and are actually 1 reaching out as far as China and ; Russia for eggs of our own eonsump- I tion. says an American Poiiltryman. ] Exports from the I'nited States j average about a million dozen a year j while Canada is only able to spare the I'nited States about 35,000 a year. Last year's total was 40,- 000 as against yO.000 dozen sent in from the l'uited States. The reciprocity agreement makes eggs free on both sides of the line, so that, as a trade bargain, the United States would get the present Canadian three cent duty removed on a million dozen eggs a year, and in exchange would take ofl tive cents a dozen duty from something less than forty thousand dozen a year. The above facts show that a discrimination of five cents per dozen in the price of eggs shipped to the State's from Canada will be thp^ result if the reciprocity pact is passed. Since dissolution, it has been formerly announced that Hon. L. P. Brodeur, minister of marine and fisheries and naval affairs, has withdrawn from the political arena to ascend he supreme bench. Mr. Brodeur's record was none too good, and he would not improve his position be fore the country by retaining a port- iolio in the cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Mr. Lemieux, who succeeds to Mr. Brodeur's cabinet place wtll also succeed to hiH place in parliament as member from Rouville. It is generally conceded that Hon. Mr. Templeman, minister of mines, and inland revenue, Is slated for defeat. What will become of Mr. Oliver is a,-question still in the lap of the gods hut he has certainly been discredited before the country by the recent dissolution of parliament; a dissolution evidently decided upon for the express purpose of preventing any examination into tbe serious charges pending against the minister of the interior. In Ontario, one minister, Sir Allan Aylesworth, has already followed the iead of Mr. Brodeur. Hon. George P. Graham, minister of railways, is running in Brockville with many elements of opposition to him. With more than one-half of thc Liberals iu the riding of Brockville opposed to reciprocity, Mr. Graham will surely not sit in the next house. The troubles of Hon. Charles Murphy, secretary of state, in Russell county, have furnished amusement to the county for some time. Hon. Mr. Paterson fs snid to have Lhe tight of his life on bis hands in llrantford. And Hon. Mackenzie-King has a much more serious contest before him iu North Waterloo today than he had two years ago, Finally In Nova Scotia we h ive the spectacle of Sir Frederick Borden, one of the ministers preparing to by itself; that, general \ leave the cabinet, to become high such a.-, those used In I commissioner in London. to be horrified at In that prospect ' If in the future the people of Cana da desire to Join the grand constellation of commonwenlths that ho illus-I trate the greatness of this continent. WHAT POSSIBLE OBJECTION COULD THERE BE " Annexation Is a bugbear which a weak sentimentality ban clothed with features thai nre repulsive, but which, upon examination, might be found to be tho most attractive and most winning of events," Thla was the views of the Liberal party tn 1891, anil from the present conditions we might fink, "has Its views changed since thai lime. We think not, The evldoncfia aro that its position is unchanged, MR, TWO PAGED In imii Sir Wilfrid Laurier said : this present campaign by writers n the press can only reflect on them t lack of Investigation of the condl confronting us; and It would bt much better for the people of Cana da if, on the 21st of September, the answer was "No" to reciprocity, so thai the government, in power after the election Would have fm Opporttlh ity to appoint specialists to l'i.jk in to all tbe conditions of t.l'e flan Lilian and American market.H, and d< a I with each Item as suggested llbovn Mr. Editor,— If yon will allow space I would like to reply to a rambling nvee.ch mnde by Dr. King before the electors at Golden.

ALFRED DRYDflN, Name of Applicant. Dated July 27th, IW 32-tH Forecasts of the Federal election are now being made, for the reason that no official estimates have been given out hy the leaders of either party. Thoae nearest to the prime minister admit that the government will sustain some losses in Ontario and heavier losses in Quebec, but they hope for no material change in the j maritime provinces or in the west, and count on a majority in next houso ranging from 12 to 18. The Conservatives now closely in touch with the situation predict enormous gains for the Opposition in Ontario and considerable gains for tlie opposition in Quebec. We believe with reason that Mr. Horden will gain from six to ten scats in tbe maritime provinces, and from four to eight in the west, and that the Opposition members in tlie next house will outnumber the supporters of the government by at least 50. This estimate assumes that the Nationalists may carry as many as 1ft seats, and gives the Conservatives a majority of 20 over the possible but highly unlikely combination of Liberals and Nationalists. As a matter of fact, nearly all the Nationalist members will be inclined to support Mr. Borden as against Hir Wilfrid Laurier, and will only reserve for themselves the right to act independently on the naval issue. In the last bouse tlie Liberals had 18 seats, and the Conservatives 17 from the west, including the Yukon The latter carried British Columbia and Manitoba overwhelmingly, and divided Alberta. They will undoubtedly make a clean sweep in the w st in the coming election. The Conservatives rely upon gains in every Western province. IN MARITIMK PROVINCES In the Maritime provinces the Liberals had 26 seats in the last bouse and the Conservatives nine. The latter believe that they will gain three seats in Nova Scotia, and at least one in Prince Kdward Island, and from two to six in the province o[ New Brunswick. Tbe last election gave the Laurier government a majority of eighteen seats outside of the two big provinces of Ontario and Quebec. In Quebec the government bad h majority of 45, and ,n Ontnrio the Conservatives had a majority of 12. Tiie Liberals therefore, had a net majority in the two big provinces of 31, which added to their majority in the other provinces, gave them control of the house by 49 votes. Since the election the opposition have gained at bye-elections, and the government majority at the time of dissolution was only 45. I Jf the Conservatives arc correct in their expectations they will dl\ ine' the country outside or Ontnrio nnd Quebec. The question will then be fairly presented : Can the Conservatives carry Ontario by a majority large enough to overcome the Liberal majority in Quebec. j At this writing it is very hard to j telt how tbe elections in Quebec may result. Judge Doherty, ex-M.P. for Rt. Amies, Montreal and other level headed men, freely predict that thc (Liberals will not have a majority of (over five in the province over the combined Conservative nnd Nationalists. Supporters of the government on the contrary maintain that Sir Wilfrid will carry at least 43 seats. This would give the prime minister e 'majority in Quebec of 21 over the Conservatives find Nationalists combined. As has been before noted, cool-headed men, capable of judt-ing, put the government majority in Quebec as low as five. Mr. Borden's majority if it is to be a decisive one mrst come from the province of Ontario. The Conservatives hope and believe not without reason, that they will carry seventy seats, thus giving Mr. Borden in this province alone -< ma'orfty of 54. To do tbis they must hold the seats thny already have and carry 20 seats now held by Literal members. This inieht nt first. lool: like u lurge order but apart from tbe ground-smell of nntl-reef proeity sentiment, which threatens to engulf tbe government, it must be remembered that many Liberal members of the Inst house got in by a scratch, and others now standing for re-election are unmistakably whipped before the tight opens, Beginning at the east, no Liberal in Ontario disputes but that the Conservatives will redeem Btormontand Glengarry. They have been practically aurrouiKlM by the government. In Brockville the defeat of Hon. Geo. P. Graham is assured. Iu Kingston the defeat of Hon. Wm. Harts;, should he run again, and still more certainly the defeat of any other Liberal is regarded as certain. I West Northumberland is a close riding, niul the Conservatives are quite hopeful of defeating ,1. B. .McColl. Thc defeat of Mr. Fowkc in South Ontario is certain ns is also the defeat of Manly Chew in Kast Slmcoe, Word from Sarnin indicates the defeat iu West Lambton of Fred Par- dec, tbe chief government whip, and Conservatives are looking forward to redeeming the Oxford, the Perths, the ICentfi, Brant, Brentford, north nnd West Miidlesex. CERTAIN GAIN IN OTTAWA The City of Ottawa with two members, is regarded as a certain gain, and so is tho riding of South Huron. In Russell County there I will be a fight, with chances in favor of Mr. J. D. Vincent, the Conservative candidate. North York and Wellington are considered good fighting grounds, with Conservative pros- | poets bright In all of them. Rainy [River, nnd West Peterboro are seatB I held by Liberals which are practically certain to be carried by Conserva- I tlves in the coming election. The jsamc is true of North Bruce, South iGrey, Wentworth, Prince Edward ; County, and North Waterloo, where Mackenzie-King will tind his Welling- | ton. There is no doubt hut that 'Ontario will give to the Conservatives, a record vote, the largest in the ; history of the province. ( Frantic efforts'are being made by , the government to carry Winnipeg land Brandon, and the Liberals have ! become the donkey engine to the far- ' mcr's machines in the thin hope of success. A Forest Ranger (Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post) j It hns always heen difficult to un [derstand thc difference in mental attitude towards thc restraints of the law that exists between the American and the mnn who lives just north of bim, across thu Canadian line, tn that couutry it is not considered a hardship to pay either reverence to Nature or a.tribute to those In whose charge lies the protection of Nature and natural resources. A thousand miles north of the British line one has seen a fife guardian, the only officer of his kind in a section of country hundreds of miles in extfnt. A splendid, quiet, self -respecting chip this man was, too; one whose word was law and accepted as such unhesitatingly by red and white. Part of this man's duty was the posting of fire notices, each of which had a good, stiff penalty attached, in all the places where human beings, red or white, were apt to see them- steamer landings, fur posts, traders' stores. Nor did this man dread the red men so much as he di I the new- coiners of tbe white tare, always more cureless al out fires than werc the aborigines. One dny during a Steamer voyage, this tire gunrdian sun smoke rising on the horizon far inland from the rlvor on which we were travelling. He stopped the boat at once, got his p$ck together, nnd went a-bore. As he figured it out, tilts lire wns forty miles nway, probably at the edge (f a certain large prnirfe Hiirroimded by heavy woods. He would reach it In the afternoon of tbe second d >v nn foot. He would enrry most of nls camp kit on his lack until thiti'tfbt then would cache some of it, and I would leave yet. more of it midday jut tlie next duy, cached against hia return to the river, where he could Web supplies or find the trail In .and out of the country Mc did not know who had started tbe fire or what shape tbe lire itself would have | by tbc nunc he got to it.

In all of one's experience with outdoor t:,en, rarely hns one mot n better, sin.plor nnd nobler figure than this "lie. His profession is precisely thut of our own forest rangers. We ought to back these men precisely as an jlder wilderness than ours. THE PROSPECTOR. CRANBROOK, RRITISH COLUMPIA THE PEOPLE'S PULPIT Sermon by CHyVJ.KS T. RUSSELL, raaior Brooklyn Tabernacle WHERE ARE THE DEAD NON-ELECT? Our Friends, Neighbors, Holy, Unholy, Civilized, Vile? GaUsburg. 11! . August .—Pa-*tor Russell of Brooklyn, und now also if London, delivered addresses to large audiences at tha Galesburg rhautauquy to-day. Hi- topics were, "Where ar-* the Dead?" snd "The Judgment of* the Great White rhrone." We report the former. Each address lasted for nearly two hours, but so deeply Interested were the audiences that they seemed not lo note tbe flight nf time. H-- said: No other question could he of deep* sr interest ty thinking ppop.e than ihe one now before us— Where Are .he Dead?" Cur ancest irs, our neigh* •jor**. our friends, sir- dead ur dying, ind ourselves with them. Whut will be our condition when 'he spark of ,ife flickers out? I have no n iw revelation . on tlii-. subject. I hav* m Tt-ly for my guide what i** r- cog* qited by nil Christians a- the Divine revelation on this subject—the Bihle. I hold tlmt there is no other source ■jt information comparable t< it. Bef'>r>- presenting his own findings >u the subject, In tl"* Bible, Pastor Russell r viewed the hnd ing." of oth* irs—Christiun in general, The agnostic view, that, there is no life beyond the tomb, he could noi entertain. H- believed that mun's organism, io much higher than that of the brute, implies not only nn all-wi**e Creator, but Hi.-* benpvoleut intention (or man's future. He examined th* Catholic view, and, while according lul! liberty to every Catholic to believe what to him seems r H-onalil- respecting the dead, Pastor Russell could not upree with Roman Catholic teachings. He summarized thir view to be that u very saintly few were fil for heaven and that Ihey went thither. He comp'imanted the justice -»f their Intentions, that a comparatively small number of humanity were worthy of eternal torture. For his own part, he could not Imagine any human being, on account of any human weakness or depravity. S3 meriting endless torture. The Catholic view, that all heathen and practically all Protestants and Catholics go in death to purgatory, he could not agree with for two reasons. First, hi finds no Scriptural authority for such a view, and secondly, hi* mind cannot accept the thought that an all-wise, all-just, a'.l-loving and powerful Creator will torture His creatures for centurion in any such manner es Catholics generally believe, and as Dante's great poem. "Inferno," so graphically depicts Vastor Russell declared that he wbb a Protestant, in larg? measure because his parents were such. But he declared that while he sees many truths both in Protestants and in Catholic teachings he considers thnt the Protestant view respecting the hereafter of the d ad the most diabolical conception to be found on the face of the earth, the grossest blasphemy against the Divine character and provision for humanity. Had he nothing batter to offer he would not be addressing his audience ou the subject. Perplexed and disconcerted by his early teachings, he bad, when a youth, discarded al! human creeds and the Bible as well -believing that the latt.'r was the basis for the former. H was a happy day for him when he learned that this wa* it mistake-- wh«n he learned that .he creeds of the Dark Ages are diametrically opposed to tho teachings of God's Word.

Th- difficulty i* that we hwve been trying to accept tb i errors of the Dark Ages instead of going clear back to and making '.'ur theology afresh from the words of Jesus, th* Apostles arl nronhets. Let us do this now and rind th-* beautv of the Divine Plan in the Bible, and a glorious Divine character such a- we know it should havi—far beyond human wisdom justice, love nnd power. So the Lord suys "As the heaven-* are higher than the earth, so sr" My ways higher than your ways and My p.ans higher than your plans." The Bible confirms the ablest findings of science when It tells ua that the dead are dea 1 and not alive at all, anywhere. The Scriptures declare, "Tho dead know not anything"; "thflir sons comp to honor and they know it not; they come to dishonor hut they peroMJv-* It not of them," Again the Bible suys. "Thore Is neither wisdom nor d vice nor knowledge in the irravo (sheol, the Bible hell) whither then goest" (Ecoleslas- tes LT* 10). Where, my (Ipiu frinnda, is the key to tbe whole problem? The Bible hell Is the grave, sluol, hades, the denth state. The salvation which God has provid id is the snlvntion from sin and (rom death. The hope sot before us In the Gospel is—the resur. rection of the dead. If anybody Is dead ther.* cnn be no resurrection of the dead. It ia not tho body which •cams the oo ir.ei.iis wm not claim thai tbey Rsfortna- sleep m purgatory, and surely nobod\ Wes+min- would claim mat they could -.loop it which is ' eternal torture. \\ ner-*, th**u, do tnej Prosby- sleep, and for how long J1 Hie Btbi- •us, snul answers, "They that bleep in the du>\ mt? got uf the earth shall awake" (Uanie, ■•ting th" xii, 8). The Bible tells us taut tin weeping, sighing and dying uf the' present time wul'give place to a glor- .ous morning oi belter -.mugs, the resurrection morning. P-istor Russall ,.'-.claims Universal Uni; he cannot find :t in the Bible. else he would pr.'u '.i it. He tind-, the Bible ta teach a u .:v.-rsul opportuttltj for salvatiau and verlastiug lifct but that the gift ol Clod, eternal Ufa, will be given only iu i-.;use wno will avail themselves ut the ipportunity.

Ihoae who a:n wilful iy, preferring wrong tu rig.it, alter beiug granted iu!l opportunity fur reformation, Will be destroyed Ul the Second Deatli, utterly, as St. Peter declares, "like natural, brute beasts' til.

That glorious lime will cume wnen, as the t'loplict declares, "Kvery kuee snail bow ami tongua coniesa Messiah; anu when the knowledge of the Lord Ahull tilt the whole earth, aa tne waters covet the great deep; and when none shall need longer to hay u his ueigh bor and his brother, Kuow tnou tne Lord, because all snail know Him."

Two '.-lliton Immigrants Ha\# Entered It In a Decade. During the last 10 years Cannda hfj received nearly 3,000,000 Immigrant*, A whom approximately 760,000 were Irom ('.real Britain and 700 000 Irom th j United Stated. An immigration bulletin ju't issued gives lhe riguret u to the end 01 the last fiscal year.

According to occupation ahout 65 per cent, ot the immigrants arriving trom the United States have been larmer- or farm laborers who, tor the mo. . part, have settled in the prairie provinces. Thirty-eight per cent, ol the total number from across the line made entry lor homesteads in the west. About 30 per cent, ol the British and continental arrivals were larmera or Inrm laborers, while 25 per cent. were classed as general laborers, and nearly the same percentage were clas,- ed as mechanics.

And ol our Irish infantry, the fame ol the Inniskilling Fusiliers (Ihe old Twentysevenlh, dating from 1600) Is world-wide. They gave their lives |„r the empire on hall a hundred "stricken fields"—among these Waterloo, "where 500 men loll and every officer but one was knocked over, without the regllllonl moving an inch or firing a shot." The Royal Irish Rilles had Ilieir pari iu winning uo fewer than ten ul Wellington's peninsula victories; the Royal Irish Fusiliers nie the same old Eighty- seventh, "the Fuugh a-Hallagh Boys," who in hand-to-hand light won the tirst Napoleonic Eagle taken by the British army. And the glory can never lade uf the Connaught Rangers, who shed their blood like water lor the honor of the British Hag at Bade- jos, Fuentes D'Ouoro and Waterloo. The story of the Royal Irish Regiment is quite as picturesque as any that tiie Irish part uf our army can supply. No fewer than 15 "Buttle Honors" grace their colors, recording duty done all the world over; liter- abstainers Now and again amusing debates arise on the subject uf the dining arrangements. On one occasion T. W. Russell, an Irish M.P., expressed hil entire disapproval of the present dinner-hour system. "Nu English gentleman cuuld dine in an hour and a half." he said. "It waa all very well lur a Scotsman who could dine In the House, or go witiioul dinner il necessary, but it was of no use to an Englishman." One of the features of the House helm and Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet, are also on the colors of the Royal Irish, and the lour names represent in addition to "long series of desperate but now forgotten sieges by which fortress after fortress wae wrested A'om the French."

Figuratively, they smashed completely the idea of Purgatory. A little later they were perplexed and said to each other. We have smashed Purgatory, but now what shall we do witli all these thousands of millions who have been there in our imagination for centuries —roasting, sizsllng, and hoping some day to attain an eternity of bliss. The thought of tln-ir responsibility ln connection with the thousands of millions blanched their cheeks and made their hearts quail They looked ut each other in terrified bewilderment. Their noble, generous hearts led them to %.-sire to put the whole mass directly into heaven, hut, lis they searched the Scripture, on the subject, they found, as they had always believed as Catholics, the Bide teaching that only the saintly, the footstep followers ol Jesus, the "over- comers" of the world, are fit for th-' Kingdom of Heaven. In despair they said to each other. This leaves nothing lor us to do but enlarge hell many times and stuff the entire mas. therein, writing over the doorway. "Who enters here abandons hope."

According ' to the latter, a waiter employed by the caterer Bellamy, who at that time j was refreshment contractor to the House, was knocked up in the middle ol the night by a messenger who said to him: "You are to get up and bring tome ol your pork pies down to Mr. Pitt." The old waiter got up, dressed, and drove off with the pies. When he arrived, ltowever, death had already taken place .and he learned that the last wurds uttered by Pitt had been those which had fetched him from his bed: "I think I could eat one of Bellamy's pork pies." All samples uf wines and spirits to be consumed in the House are in the first case brought to the notice ol a ''tasting" sub-committee, aided by tome of the must expert wine-tasters in London—as a result the cellars aro kept full of excellent, sound, matured wine at very reasonable prices. For instance, a champagne of first-class brand, sold at the big hotels at 16 a bottle, costs only 13.26 in the House ol Commons. A former chairman of the committee, now dead, Sir Alfred Jacoby. showed especial keenness ln meeting the requirements ol the most fastidious appetites, and under his regime some most exquisitely-cooked repasts were served.

ABRUZZI AS REFORMER, Duka'a Visit to Naplaa Lad to Prosa- cutton of tht Camorra. The investigation bl the Italian Camorra, the terrible criminal organisation of Naples which haa resulted iu the great trial now in progreas at Viterbo, was brought about, by none other than the young Duke ol tbe Abruzzi, the royal uiuumaiu climber and naval expert, "In the middle ol March. 1906," says the writer, "Prince Luigi, Duca deli Abruzzi, a first coiis.u uf ttie King of Italy, had spent some days iu Naples, gathering data winch would be useful to him iu his expedition to Central Alricu lo climb the peaks ot the Ruwenzori, which he contemplated undertaking the following summer. Always fond of adventure, whether amid the frozen snows ol the Arctic, the dreamy wastes of a tropical desert, or the human swarms of great cities, Prince Lulgi, at 33 years of age, penetrated some ul the mysteries ut tbe underworld ol Naples. "Hu hud scarcely returned to Rome wheu ths eruptiuu of Vesuvius occurred which destroyed su many villages around Naples, left desolate ao muny homes, and brought King Vit- torio Emanuel and Queen Elena upon the scene. " Here it your opportunity, Luigi,' said thc King, as he prepared lor Lis journey. "The young man shook hil head. 'Naples needs purging very badly,' lie replied simply, "Su the King and Queen went down to Naples, did what they could to administer to the sufferings of their subjects, and finally went back to Rome, charmed witli the people and their simple, mediaeval ways, while the firess throughout the peuiutula severe- y censured Prince Luigi tor his indifference. He, however, waa on his way to Mombasa. Arriving there toward the middle ol April he wrote tho King a ling letter, explaining what he had meant by Naplea being tn need of a 'purge.' "The King was still meditating on thla letter when the Cuocolo tragedy, for which tlie Camorrists are now on trial, became the sensation ol the press. Hit Majesty had Beveral unsatisfactory interviews with the Minister uf the Interior and then taking things Into his own hands selected three young officers and gave them oarte blaucne to clean up Naplea. "Three young army officers, chosen from the crack military organization ol Italy, are chiefly responsible lor ths damaging evidence that is being filled up (.gainst the prisoners in the amoua Camorra trial. These officers, whose names are Fabbroni, Farria and Capeazuti, were selected by the King to find out the truth about the great criminal society. Together these Three Musketeers" of modern Italy laid out their campaign. Fabbroni, with documents al! iu proper form, was to probe the archives of the police courts and prisons, Farris, with letter ol introduction (rom eminent personages iu Rome, was to enter the charmed circle of the Neapolitan aristocracy, "There remained for Capezzutl the hardest and most dangerous task ol all I He, in the guise ol one ol the brigands, escaped Irom his own Sardinia, waa to enter the 'mala-vlta' ol Naples and gather the roott ol the Honorable Society of the Camorra, while hli comrades plucked ita fatal fruit ln Ihe prolession and aoclal Iile ot the olty.

Discussing the recently published autobiography of Richard Wagner, the Oeaterreichische Wochenschrlfl sayi tbat no one will ever know whether the truth haa all been published aa to the master's parentage, "It ls a (act, though, that he wai registered at school as Richard Geyet and did not take the name of Wag, ner until he was fourteen year, old," aayt this authority. "It is also n fact that the recently published his- tory waa teen in manuscript by Mottl years ago at Wabnfried. In Ita original form Ludwig Qeyer was named at Wagner's lather. Geyer's portrait hung In the villa next to that ol Wagner's mother, and there was nc portrait of the Saxon police actuary, Wagner, to be leen anywhere." At tht Wrong End. "I been a-readin' all your eastern papers," commented Grizzly Gus, the three-fingered terror of the Bad Landi, "and I been a-tryin' to keep up witb the itoriet therein contained.

GAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS PRINCIPAL PETERSON PROPOSES TO ENLARGE M'QILL. Many Things Are N.edod, Notably Endowment Funds For Chairs and a Serifs ol Resid.nc. Buildings— Montreal Business Men Ar. Being Enlisted In the Work—Principal la a Scotsman and Has Many Honora, Dr. Peterson, who lias entered upon a campaign tu raise a much needed endowment and expansion lund for McGill University, hopes to put an end to thc yearly recurring deficits ol Canada's big university and to provide it lor the luture with the neocsaary chair endowments, staff enlargements, library extension, Student residences aud other accessories uf a great university. There will be no university outside ol Greater Britain that will hold a higher place at the Imperial Universities Conference uext year than McGill and it should be a source ol pride and satisfaction to all Canadians. Many of the McGill professors have a world-wide reputation for ability and knowledge in their special departments, but Principal Peterson is anxious to secure tlie public sympathy and support of the business men ol Montreal as the surest asset that will make for the future success of the institution and hence he proposes launching a campaign to interest wealthy Montrealers in the work ol the Institution. Many of the oldest and most important chairs in the faculty are still unendowed and subscriptions to the general fund are badly needed, as the university is incurring an annual deficit of alarming proportions. The need of residences is very badly lelt and there is a very general movement in ail university centres to provide proper residences for the students where that body can be kept in closer touch with the faculty. Principal Peterson stutes that a resi- dence hall for thc accommodation ol Pinches All Round. Bhe—My new gown ii just lovely. It's a perfect fit. He—Batlified on that point, ehP Bhe—Yea. I know it's a good fit because it pinches me io. He-Well, It doein't pinch you hall aa much aa It doei my pocketbook. Har Tip. Mr. Newcome—Doea keeping board. en pay? Mn.

These halls would be partially sell-supporting, as the rentals from rooms would be considerable. Dr. Peterson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1856 and was educated at Edinburgh University, where he graduated in 1675, where he carried ofl first-class honors in classics and obtained the Greek traveling fellowship. He studied in Germany for a time and on his return to ScHtland he was elected to the MacKenzie scholarship in his alma mater. In 1876 he took the Ferguson scholarship in classics at Oxford, where he also took his final degree. In 1882 he was appointed professor of classics in Dundee University College and principal. These positions he continued to fill up to 1895 when he was selected as principal of McGill in succession to Dr. Dawson. He has proven himselt a man of ripe scholorship and large executive capacity since taking charge ol McGill and the university has made marked progress under his energetic regime. Tha Earl ol B.aufort.

The duke is one ol the best known masters ol hounds in the country, and one of the keenest ■portsmen, hunting six days a week in the acaaon, and only regretting that he can't hunt on the seventh: Hie stables and kennels at Badminton, his magnificent place in Glou, cestcrshire, which is itsell the size ol a small town, are a sort ol Mecca fol sportsmen from all quarters of th, globe. The duke, who Is about six foot three high, is v#ry popular aa a landlord, but his Toryism is of thl high-and-dry order, and when Mr. Lloyd-George introduced Ills lamuui budget, his grace achieved toint notoriety by inlorming a meeting, composed ol his tenants and others, that he should dearly love tc act hit pack of hounds on the Chancellor.

WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS Nimrnlgiu ia not a disease—it is only a symptom. It is the surest sign that your blood is weak, watery and impure, and that your nerves are literally starving. Bad blood is the one cause—good, rich, red blood its ouly cure. There you have llio r.'al reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure neuralgia. They are the only medicine that contains, in correct proportions, the very elements needed to make new, rich, red blood. This alone reaches the root of the trouble, soothes the jangled nerves, ami drivi's away the nagging, stabbing pain, aud braces up your health in otber ways. Mr. M. Mrenuan, an ex* sergeant of the Snd Cheshire Itegi ment, now a resilient ol Winnipeg Man., says: "While serving with my regiment in India, on a hill station, I contracted a severe cold which brought on acute neuralgia, at times lasting for three weeks. I was constantly suffering almost every month in the year for over seven years, the pain being sometimes so severe that I wished I was dead. Ou my return to Kngland I seemed to get no better, though I spent large sums of money tor medical advice and medicine. Then I came to Canada, and about a year ago saw tho advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a Winnipeg paper. Although 1 had begun to think my complaint was incurable I told my wife that I Intended giving the Pills a fair trial. I was suffering [rom terrible pains when I began taking the Pills, hut before the second box was finished the. pain began to disappear, and under a further use of the I'ills it disappeared entirely, anil I have not had a twinge of it during the past year. Only those who bave been afflicted with the terrible pains of neuralgia can tell what a blessing Dr. Williams' Pink I'ills have been In tm1, antl you may he sure 1 shall constantly recommend tbem to other sufferers."

Aa angry Scottish clergyman has written to *• j London Times in protest against a slander upon the Scutch nation incorporated by Mr. Alfred Austin in .-.is Autobiography. Mr. Austin once weut to Irvine to unveil u statue of Robert Burns. He writes: On my arrival I spent the evening with the local authorities, and ut th.' supper or early dinner to which they treated me as a guest. I fear they must have thought me a pour creature, uu less they were familiar with Southern ways—for 1 drunk sparingly, accord iug to my custom, wnile they, to my amazement, tossed off glass after gltts*; of whisky neat, remaining just as sob er as when we sat dowu. The minister o< Irvine, us one of the few survivors of thut memorable occu- sion, makes effective denial, aud leaves little doubt as to who is the better literary craftsman of the two I timo.-RabtlaiSL men. "Mr. Austin was entertained by the late Provost Breckenridge, not to 'supper or early dinner'—what a strange inversion! — but to dinner somewhat after eight o'clock.. I do not know what Mr. Austin drunk. I was not so rude as to note, but I take his word. Will he take mine? It is not, and in my experience it never has been, the habit of the 'local authorities' to 'toss off glass after gluis of whisky.' It certainly was not the case that night. Further, those hardy drinkers—according to Mr. Austiu— would not have the hardihood to drink whisky 'neat.' There is oue part ol his story true—they were 'just as sober us belore we sat down.' So they were, for un obvious reason: they happened to be well-bred men. Mr. Austin is, perhaps, as ignorant of Northern ways as he supposes us to be of Southern.

Ilis other children have no special status unless their lather thinks good to raise them to tlie peerage. As tlie law of Kngland knows no classes ot men except peers and coin Inoncrs, it lollows tnat the younger children of the King — the eldest is born Duke of Cornwall—are in strictness of speech commoners, unless they are personally raised to the peerage. There is nothing to hinder a King's ; son, not being a peer, Irom voting at an election, or Irom being elected Vi the House ol Commons; and il he committed a crime he would be tried, : not by the House of Peers or the Court of thc High Lord Steward, bul by a common jury. Mere precedence and titles have nothing to do with the matter, though probably a good deal ol confusiou arises from the modern lashion ol calling all the children ol the King "Winces" or "I'riucessei."

As variety is said to be pleasing, however, your humble servant (who is responsible fur this budget of impressions and expressions) hopes that tho "storiettes," "topical versoH," "humoroiiH sketches," satirical paragraphs, and portinent gossip, to he found in the Ohatter -and Chnfl department, ovor anil anon will afford a little amusement, mid possibly a little Instruction to tho ever-inereaslnij number ol people who rend the "Pro spector."

Wo lon't want any dyspepsia lectures In Oranbrook, my friend, and don't you forget It. I note that the two rival Arctic explorers are still at. logger-heads. Dr. Frederick flnok refers feelingly to his colleague, rear-admiral Peary as a "liar and an unmitigated scoundrel," etc. It Is really deplorable that a brave and scholarly mnn I should degenerate In this fashion. While it Ib still probably a matter of Individual opinion as to which of these two men achieved most, In the interest of scientific research, during their journeyings in the frozen north; vituperative personality and libelous accusations, does not tend to increase a person's prestige, nor does it prove a good substitute for logical argument. A few days ago I was In a store at Lethbridge, when a couple of typical Englishmen entered. "Look here I want to purchase a pair of serviceable braces," i&iil one. "Six bits" was the laconic reply of the shop-keeper ns he passed the suspenders for inspection. "Hi; what ls that you snld?" interrogated the prospective buyer. "Six bits" repeated tlie merchant. A took of unmistakable linger tlnshod across the face of the man addressed, and turning to his companion lie remarked, "Say, old chap, that bully rotter is laughing nt us, let us go:" And they went. Here, then, was a striking Instance of poor salesmanship due to indifference and lack ot perception. Had the young man behind the counter, possessed more worldly astuteness (an almost Indispensable qunllttca- tlon for a successful business mnn) nnd manifested nn intelligent Interest in his work; he would have taken the trouble of explaining to his customer that the price of the artlele-i dinwn was seventy-five centB, about lie equivalent of three shillings in ICngllsh currency. A little 'nc' an' patience, would have secured a well pleased patron- who, after all Ib ki- iti and done,—Is one of the best -ul/er- tiBoments. Scandal, my dear friends, Is thc curse of all small eomiiiiinltlci; but you should treat tho remarks ot v onr maligners with silent and continuous contempt. There Is one thing, I.y the way, that Adam and Eve were never guilty of, and thnt la—talking about their neighbors. I am told that the natural gas (for which Medicine Hat is Justly renowned) can be secured hy tnnnufacturorB for a nickel per thousand cubic fret, nnd that the same "Illuminator" utli Ised for domestic purposes cost only a trifle over thirteen cents per 1,000. No wonder that coal and wood are conspicuous by their absence amongst tho Mediclno Hut householders' effects Now I understand why the civic authorities allow the street lamps to attempt the rivaling of old Sol by day as well as the twinkling stars at night. A chap who saya that he has "a kid: coming" against newspapers generally and a contemporary specially and signs his epistle with thc original pseudonym nf "Constant Render," wrlteB to tell mc that the papers "are alway making mistakes anil spoiling thc poetic beauty of his composition." 1 sympathise with bim muchly: oft have I met with a similar fate. I once wrote a poem on "Adelaide", Haling her Shetland pony ; ln verse I called her a "bonny mnld" Uut, aias: thoy printed it bony. A chat on tho philosophy of lying is tho next item on the program, dear reader. Mankind has many failings, you know, one of which are lies. Tlie man who tells a lie is a liar. Of course, there are people to whom lies are strangers. Very few, perhaps, but still they really exist. Some tell lies where the truth don't lit. For the edification of this "privileged few," I will explain what liars are. I'm a liar. Do you hear? I say I'm a liar. Well, that Is not true; therefore, when I say "I'm a liar," I'm a liar because I'm not a liar. There are several kinds of lies. There is the white lie, the black lie nnd the downright lie; or the lie direct, the Indirect lie, and lastly thc society lie. The white lie is only told by Sunday Bchool teachers. Parson and others. The black Ho Is a bad nan ghty lie; the downright, lie and the lie direct arc deliberate and planned Hen; whilst the indirect lie Is nn evasive He, or a twisting round tim coiner ns tt were Hort of lie. Of cour- the society He is absolutely necessary, and cannot he dispensed with. Mars nowadays, like shorthand writers, are much sought after. A man who cannot He nt a moment's notice will not keep bin situation long. The Individual who is unable to tell bis customers that those err to eggs aro strictly fresh laid, or that margarine is pure butter, cr tnal that last year's dress material is the very latest stylj (the fabric having just heen imooi' .-■' ii >n 1'tu'is), is not worth his salt, anil will never shine In this vale of tears. If the beggar does not get tired ' by his employer, he thoroughly deser ves to be. Lies, judiciously told, are a vital factor in the commercial Hie of the present day, and high society could not possibly exist without them. How many ladies are "not at home" whilo they arc sitting in their drawing-rooms ? The couple that eaid they used one chair for economy, and merely turned the gas down low to save it, were—well, I do not desire to he personal and I certainly hate to bo designated rude—but they were for all that. Reporters, editors, critics and newspaper men generally are—but never mind—so aro policemen, railroad men, lawyers, etc., but they can't help it. It comes as natural to the majority as eating their lunch. "Seven little missionaries- Horrible their fate— Cannibals picked their bones, Then they were ATE." Please forgive my frivolity, but putting all "kidding" aside, talk never seems so awfully cheap as when the one to whom you are talking is a little dear. Lots of time, think it over. I have arrivod at the conclusion that the maudlin sentimentality which characterizes the youth of ilns contury Is positively sickening. We are literally surrounded by simpering sentimentalists—their name is legion. The reason Is not far to seek, for common senno is nt a discount being now regarded nH TOO COMMON. I'he tables have boen unfortunately tuned, owing to excessive misdirected so-called education. Venerable onl men, who hnve acquired wisdom with age, are forced to listen to thc absurd childish prattle, which emanates from harebrained young snobs, possess great pretentions to experience, and assume tbc distinction of gentlemen. For the love ol the Board of Health let. in "cut out" thiB, "scholarly attainment's" dope and bent it, back to the woods where we left our good old practical common sense. A mnn—n vcry (lucent, wcll-meimlng man too—met. me on Hanson avenue last Wednesday and was very anxl mis to know when [ was going to tako my vacation. He advocated the seaside resort as the ideal sort of holiday for a Jaded business mnn. An unsophisticated sort of guy, be kind ly offered to show me n magazine article about a "lovely spot." Nothing doing. I was not to be led away by those specious seaside advertisements, I know those homelike, "sea-view" hotels. Tho view Is generally a cheap gaudy-colored marine oil painting hung over the breakfast table, and the only "break ers" .yon can hear are the servants smashing crockery in tbe scullery. No thanks, old top, take the seaside trip yourself. Cranlirook ,s good enough for me—although it is near three thousand feet above sea level. The man, who is sure be can't be wrong, is generally the lirst to discover that it's the unexpected that always happens. Co slow I Apropos the slimmer complaint, which is so prevalent ut this season of the year. 1 vividly recollect, the penchant 1 had as a kid for apples the greener the better—anil it. was not. until years afterwards that 1 began to associate the subsequent torture with the apples.

As our oflice poet beautiful ly (?) expresses the sentiment ;— The smnll boy with complacent mien \t twilight cats the apple green. The doctor pours at midnight grim Jamaica-ginger into him.

MR, GILMORH IS AT HIS BBS In a revival ol the pluy that made him a star a critic writes The most fashionable audience oi the season witnessed Paul liilmoiv m "The Mummy and the Humming : Dird" at tbe Academy of Music last ; night The play was well balanced and everybody enjoyed u. u deals with thn most sacred relations, marriage, : and the greatest impelling force in I life, love. As a play -The Mummy and the Humming Bird" 16 a lesson; a study in human nature, the dlffei encee In :na::s and woman's nature and should be invariant) observed- • or digested. The story of a good woman the wife of a wealthy Londoner accus- j tomed to every luxury, every plea ' sure, every want, everj slab .s gra tiried except oue, the love a::d com-, poiuunsmp oi a husband. Her hus- ] band is energetic, industrious and in ! fact everything except a companion to his wife. She is a woman with a life that is human and her happiness depends on the devotion uf her husband. He mas.es her life miserable and is blind, su far as under- j standing human nature of a woman, j Her attention is directed to a weal- | thy Italian who, admires her and is just the contrast, so far as nature of man is concerned. He understands the feminine sex, is gifted with a fluent flow of pretty words and an all around experienced ladies' man. He shows marked attention to another man's wife, a wife who finds companionship and l0ve in one other, than her husband. She is led on and on until finally the temptation is too great and in a fit of madness she loses control of her respect for her husband, confesses and yields to her admiration for the clever foreigner, whom she thinks is capable of giving her happiness. Tlie husband flies in pursuit and traces her to the rooms of the villain but outwits him In the last act the climax is reached. She runs away thinking' she has brought degredation upon herself and family, but not bo. He again pursues and finds her heart-broken in her room in Paris. An understanding is the conclusion. The villain has brought punishment upon himself and a bad beginning ends well. It would be a hard matter for Paul Gilmore to improve. He is surrounded with a well balanced cast who were entirely capable of supporting the star. The company is altogether a new one; only one member was with Mr. Gilmore last season — the organ grinder, and ihe was quite a favorite among the audience. Mr. Gilmore was at his best. He is a great actor, is perfectly at ease on the stapo, does not appear to be acting at all, he plays the husband with a Poise and a restraint that are admirable. When the man comes out of his shell and grasps firmly the levers that control the course of events, Mr. Gilmore's acting leaves little to be desired. He is strong and masterful when necessary, generous and tender at other crises. His .•oice is expressive, his carriage graceful and his manner pleasing. In the first scene with the organ grinder he exhibits great talent for the lighter comedy touches. Christ Church Rector, Rev. B. P, Klewellen. Holy Communion at 8 a. m.
