A study of the accompanying plioto- ..graphs will he of inturest to students of tliensuphy. Three generations have |>as;e.l ■between, and Miss Nelson of present-day fame 'has succeeded in preserving the ie- markahle likeness of her illustrious great- grandmother, Lady Hamilton, to a ae-grea that Is almost uncanny. Her line of descent can he readily traced in Burke's peerage or any noted Jjook of biography. Lady Hamilton's"third daughter was mtuied Moratia (afiei* her father, Horatio, then tlie Viscount Nelson), and she was Gerda Nelson's grandmother and lived with Nelson s Hli-ters until her Marriage witii Rev. Philip Ward, afterwards vicar of Tenterden, Kent. This -worthy churchman was tlie father of eight •healthy children, one of whom was Miss Kelson's mother. U was a. shock to al] her English tela- tives when Gerda Nelson first decided to go upon the .stage. She made her debut with Ada Ralian. who was at that lime making her farewell tour of the British provinces. Witn rigid dignity her starched ami titled -relatives shook their lllustrlciia heads, declaied history was repeating itself and thai the liohemliin blood of the dashing Lady Hamilton was living again in the veins of her beautiful great-granddaughter, Gerda. These cautious and indignant connfe- tions tiled deeds of wild abandon and ■fights of romantic and inspired imagination, as a warning aculnst their rierda'a ■professional! career. Tney even told her of the supposed unreal emotional exhibitions Indulged in by her illustrious great- •grandpaient and dfdighted in reading to her from such Irrefutable authority as Leslie Stephens- Dictionary of National Biography the following extract; "When Bralmm sang 'The Death of Nelson,' Jjady Hamilton showed unusual emotion, and, as it was the impression that she had gone to the theatre for Ih's purpose, it threw great discredit upon the genuineness of her woe." To such attacks as these Miss Gerda Nelson replied with rate spirit;.asserted thut the cruel and unreeling KnffHsn public had ever failed to grasp the great truth and loyalty that was In her grandmother's heart. In an Interview published In the Idler during her first Ixmdon appearance Miss Nelsoil said "Our nation lacks In th- finer feelings- e-**\ axcakt <*se=*t.r* >3i&4r*w*mP\ \p*rr*^**v-^****4^ajn^ not as individuals, hut aa a body. 1 can go outside its treatment of Lady Hamilton and prove my statements by a host of historical facts. England will never he able to live down tiie burning of the ht-imitlfnl and inspired .loan of Arc at the slake. My great-grandfather, Horatio Nelson, who had won the most deeiclve naval hattle of history, at tlie cost of his own life, passed away with these words on his lips: -Take care of my dear Lady Hamilton. 'Remember tlr.it I leave Lady Hamilton and our daughter Horatia as a legacy to my country-never forget Hoi a'la.' ■How well England has kept the last requ si of its dying hero Is tie shame of every small hov who leads history. Chron- Mt-rs and historians die deeds of Lady Hamilton to ,try to prove ihat the race which condemned her to a life of poverty was justified. The greatest injustice in the wnr'.i is tlie irrefutable statement of an historian. „ "Looking into m« own heart and believing that 1 am the reincarnation of my noted ancestor, as my proud lelallvea in sist In telling me, I know that everything that Lady Hamilton did was the outward expression of an emotional nature that could not repress Itself within the narrow circle of lhe accepted social conventions, or more likely was a line disregard for them. Thev tell me of her becoming hysterical when the 'Death of Nelson' was sung. Why not? Wns there ever two more noted affinities in the history of tlte world? The ability to depict these emotions was the proof of her histrionic talent, and if she had ever gone upon the stage, her genuine would have added another name to the list of illustrious English actresses. "As I am fortunate in resembling my brave great-grandmother, and as my fam- Ilv never falls to assure me that I have every drop of her emotional blood (lowing In my veins, I shall do my utmost to try to shed luster upon the name of Nelson throughout tbe medium of the stage." Armed with letters from members nf the English nobility and escorted by one of the leading London managers, Miss Nelson duly presented herself at the Sluyvesant theatre, New York city, and met the master genius of America's producing stage, David Belasco. Offers of future engagements were made her, but Miss Nelson wanted to get to work immediately. Knowing that ids brother, Fredei lek, had just purchased the western nights of "St. Elmo," he telegraphed: "1 have an ideal actress for your "St. Elmo" company." "Send her Jit my expense and wo will talk business," came" the reply from San Francisco. Her winsome type of beauty is so nearlv suited to the love'y and trusting character of Edna Earl in "St. Elmo" thnt audiences are receiving Miss Ne'son in their heart of hearts at every performance. Mr. Belasco has offered her a live years' contract, guaranteeing that she shall travel tha stellar road of Blanche Bales, Florence Roberts and l-1iances Star-', hut Miss Nelson does nol want lo tie herself nn to anv one country, as spiendi 1 opportunity* will open for her abroad.

THE WORLD OF SPORT EYFNTS AND COMMENTS While it would appear that the lacrosse enthusiasts of -tlie -east are confident of the ability of the Montreal players to lift the Minto cup when they play New Westminster on the Queens Park ground next June, it is iby no means certain that the N.L.U. champions will even come ns *clo*e to lifting the cup as the Tecumsehs did last year. Western enthusiasts are depending upon the world champions to retain -the silverware and when the numbers go up it will he a big surprise to Vancouver and Westminster people If the champions are not on the long end of the score in both matches. Tecumsehs Tecumsehs played probably the fastest lacrosse that has ever been played In western Canada, and when the aeries •waB over the -rihamplons had a sufficient lead In goals to give them possession, of the cup for another year. If ■the present champions of the N.L.U. can play superior lacrosse to the Tecumsehs they 'will surely .be a wonderful aggregation and would ibe entitled to the cup, taut that is something that Is not anticipated by fans In -this part of the country. New Westminster will he in practically the same strength against Montreal as they were against ithe Toronto team last year; in fact some of the players Bhould be playing ln even better torm this season and the experience gained ln the other Mlnto ciip matches should serve them ln good stead when they meet the representatives of the winged wheel. New Westminster's Strength New Westminster's strength lies in lhe Held, although there Is not more than one or two weak spots In t'he whole team, If that many exist. Of course the champions 'home, was last year coached by the kingpin of home Welders "Dad" Turnbull, and he was a potent factor in the big matches last season. With him off the champions' 'home would be more or less demoralized at least for a time, but take it for granted right now that the patriarch of Canadian lacroBBe iwill he scoring goals again this summer with the same precision that has charactri-zed his work for many .years. He may not. figure In the B. C. League matches, but he will be on the line up when t-he easterners come west on their cup hunting trip. Montreal Montreal has a clever home, one of the best In the east but the New Westminster defence Is a veritable stone wall for any home to run against and even the most elusive home player will find this out to his sorrow. While the old beads of -the Montreal home will keep the champions* defence guessing the writer is inclined to the belief that the westerners will prove equal to the occasion. There Is no getting away from -the fact tbat the results of the games will be close!; in fact, it begins to look as if the ultimate fate of the cup would remain in doubt until the second match Is over. To Number Players. The B. C. Lacrosse association has decided that the senior players must be numbered, as an aid to both the spectators and the referee. It has furthermore imposed a penalty of ?25 on any player who appears on the field without his number. And now will the N. L. U. wake up and do likewise? The advantage of having the players numbered has been so often argued that it Ib hardly necessary to repeat the arguments. But when you go to a.ball game you hear the crowd calling the players by their first names and taking all kinds of Interest in their every movement. On the other hand watch a man making a brilliant play in lacrosse, and hear the anxious question: "Who is that?" Not a dozen people In the stands could make oath, and say who any player on a lacrosse field Is, Amateur Lacrosse. Officials of the British Columbia Amateur union are making a move in the right direction in offering a trophy for competition among the senior amateur clubs of the province, a move that is being heartily endorsed ln all of the coast cities that are likely to have - representation ln the league this season. Amateur* lacrosse should thrive in the. weBt Just aj it does In the eastern provinces. * There is ample material ln alt of the cities Interested and If the. officials Will accord the amateur organizations the support due them there Is every rea- Blood Purifier Will make you strong and well. $1.00 a bottle. wUI glre yon wtUfac- Uoa Sold and guaranteed by ALL NELSON DRUGGI8T8 son to believe that the amateur game will boom this season.

This will make a four-cornered race of lt and with all of the clubs running close the struggle should excite no little interest among enthusiasts on the Mainland and island. Battle Roll. The battle roll of lacrosse teams all over Canada is now being called and the veterans, gloriouB with the scars of "a hundred fights," are responding nobly. Training will soon follow. Everything points to a fine season for the big organizations. The school boys should take heed and bear In mind that within a few years they will have crowded the veterans off the field, and be upholding the glorious traditions of Canada's national sport. Corinthians vs. France. All International football records went by tihe boards when the Corin-. thians played Prance, and won by 20 goals to nil. The Corinthians style of forward play has never been excelled, but a score^ of 20 goals must be astonishing no matter who the contestants were. Haa Been That Is. William Meredith, a Welshman, has been awarded his thirty-second international cup. No footballer playing today has represented his country on so many occasions, and he is still said to be the greatest outside forward, amateur or professional, wiho has ever lived.

Southpaw pitchers, like the buffaloes, are rast dying out, writes Jack Pfles- ter, the Chicago Cub twlrler. Those who haven't taken the count In the major league have been corraled by the Phillies, and it looks as If Red Dooln Is trying to corner the market. A lew seasons back the big league managers relied almost wholly upon the effectiveness of the side-wheelers ln critical oointa of the pennant races. Now the daubers are on the toboggan. It isn't because the batters have taken to pounding the -southpaws that has brought about this condition. On the contrary most of the youngsters breaking Into the major these days simply can't deliver. Now and then some manager will pick up a young phenom of the left handed species. Sometimes the phenom will deliver winning ball for an entire son. Sometimes he will hit the coaster half-way through the race. That's what happened to Harry Krause the young lefthander picked up last season by Connie Mack of the Athletics. At the start of the race Krause had little to do. Then all of a sudden ho jumped in and started winning games hand over first. Toward the close of the season Krause struck a bad spell and many a club hitherto powerless against classy sldewheelers had little difficulty trimming the coast star.

Considerable prospecting has been done throughout the district during the year hut no new discoveries of any very great importance were made although several promising claims have been staked. The writer has visited a number of additional properties to those mentioned in his paper on "The Mineral Resources of the, Lardeau," which appeared in the September, October, November and December, 1909, numbers of this Journal; brief details of the properties visited will be given herein and will serve as an adenda to the paper mentioned. Lime Dyke. Along the "Lime Dyke" mineral belt no work of serious character has been done during the year. Only the necessary assessments on the most important groups of claims having been performed. While it ls a well known fact that there are large bodies of galena and gold ore In the "Lime Dyke" belt admirably situated for economic mining, they are at present of little commercial value owing to the lack of transportation facilities and their consequent inaccessibility. There are no engineering difficulties in the way of bull ,lng a railroad up the Duncan river Into the heart of this belt, and it ls only a question of time when this will be done, then the timber and mineral resources of this -section will tie brought Into the markets. ' In both the Central and Southwestern mineral belts work has been carried on, to a greater or less extent during the year with satisfactory results and it is the purpose of this article to give, a brief summary of the more important results attained. The general geology and topography of the district has been described in the paper previously mentioned, and to whloh the reader Is referred for particulars on these heads. Central Mineral Belt. On the "Bunlere" claim, situated near tbe head of Scott creek, on the northwest side of Fish river, considerable development work has been done. The vein Is very prominent, standing up above the surface of tbe ground like a stone wall in places, where it has resisted erosion better than tbe softer enclosing rocks, and is traceable for several hundred feet along Us strike. In many places along this outcrop -native gold can be seen with the unaided eye, and samples of quartz which show no visible gold, even with tbe aid of a strong lens pan well. A cross-cut bas been driven In from the hillside intersecting the vein at a vertical depth of some seventy-five feet showing it to be of the same character and to carry native gold as at surface. The gold occurs aB plates and grains in the qiuirtz and is often associated with apatite which ls present to a considerable extent. So far as the vein Is at present developed it shows very little sulphides, 80 per cent, of the gold being: in the native state. Camborne. During the summer an exhaustive ex amination has been made of the Eva mine, near Camborne, for some New York capitalists, with a view to its acquisition by them and working on a large scale. It Ib understood tbat the report was favorable and it is reported that the deal bas been made and that the property will be operated this year. The mine has been developed to a depth of eight hundred feet and has ore reserves of several thousand tons, all of which can be mined at a profit. Lucky Jack Group. Adjoining the Eva is the Lucky Jack, a group of claims of considerable merit. The only work; done on these claims during the year was the necessary assessment work, to comply with the mining laws, as the owners are' men without capital aud are not in a position to operate the mine themselves owing to the amount of development necessary before the mine will become self-supporting. There are several known veins traversing the property but almost all work has been confined to the "Oyster" lode. This vein has been traced for a long distance by surface cuts and has been opened up to a depth ot one hundred feet by crosscuts. At this depth the vein is eight feet wide divided into two portions by a band of phylllte. The foot wall portion is three and a half feet wide and assays 0.8 ounces gold and 0.4 ounces silver' per ton, while the hanging wall portion four feet wide, assays 0.2 ounces gold and no silver per ton. The gold Is carried mainly by the sulphides, very little of lt being "free" except at surface where the ore Is decomposed by atmospheric influences. The owners bought and Installed a two-stamp mill on the property about two years ago with the necessary equipment of copper amalgamating plates, but' no concentrators, they having been misled into believing that all the gold was "free milling" because it Is so at surface owing to the decomposition of the sulphides. Neither of them are amalgamators nor practical mill men the consequence was that most of their values ran away with the tailings and their attempts to operate tbe mine on a small scale, a failure. The property ls an excellent "prospect" and will some day make a mine when properly developed and operated by a mining man who understands his business. From the dump of the lower cross-cut a beautiful view of Camborne, Fish river and Arrow lakes Is obtained. Homestead Group. On the "Homestead" group, tbe owners have done considerable development work during the year. There are six known veins on this property which assay all the way from $2 to $38 per ton in gold. The owners are poor men 'but have demonstrated their faith in the mine by spending all thetr spare money in development work. The No. 4 vein occupies a tissue cutting the formation between the Nos, 3. and 5 lodes, it Is from-two to five feet wide, mineralized with pyrlte, a little galena, and. native gold assaying from 0.6 ounces to 2.0 ounces gold per ton. It has been opened to a depth of one hun dred feet vertically by cross-cuts and shows no dlmunltion in gold contents. The' other veins are all gold bearing and are from two to sixteen feet wide between walls. Silver Dollar. The Silver Dollar mine was Idle during the year. Late in the fall, Just before the snow came, a thorough examination of the property was made, the results were satisfactory and it Is understood that the mine will reopen in the spring. True Fissure. The True Fissure mine was operated during the early part of the year by leasers who shipped ore till the raw- hiding ceased. The ore shipped, 150 tonS, was taken from the St. Elmo vein, and Is a galena associated with gray copper, It yielded average returns of 0.20 ounces gold, 94.8 ounces silver, 28 per cent, lead and 8 per cent. zinc. For those who do not understand what "raw-hiding" is I would explain tbat it consists of placing the previously sacked ore in the untanned hide of a beef, lacing the sides of the hide together and attaching a horse to the neck end and hauling It over the snow, When the trail is In good shape each horse will pull twenty sacks of ore to the' hide, each sack weighing from 100 to 160 pounds, according to the richness In galena of the ore. On the True Fissure property is one of the most remarkable exposures of ore in the "Lardeau." The True FiBsure lode Is a big quartz vein lying along the east slope of an ancient glacial basin between two spurs of tbe mountain, dipping with the slope. The overlying rocks have been eroded away by tbe ice, and atmospheric agencies, exposing the vein over an area of 600 by 1000 feet. Much of the ore thus exposed Is a fine-grained galena, assaying 0.06 ounces gold, 11.44 ounces silver, 6.4 per cent. lead; and a fine-grained pyrlte assaying 0.3 ounces gold and 10.5 ounces silver. The balance of the vein is a low grade concentrating material which will average ten feet ln width averaging 0.23 ounces gold and 4 ounces silver per ton with considerable galena in places. Broadview. Tbe Broadview, situated near the town of Ferguson, is being operated under lease, by a local syndicate. This property is owned in the United States by tbe Ohio Mines Development Co. of Cincinnati. Tbe main vein, which traverses the property, Is generally conceded to be the continuation of the True Fissure lode, it Is here from three to twenty feet wide of low grade concentrating-material. Near the crest of the hill, a shoot of galena ore was discovered and a shaft sunk on It for some distance and it Is this ore shoot which the present leasers are working, having recently shipped their first car. Three years ago two hundred tons were shipped of this ore which averaged 0.09 ounces gold, 35.19 ounces silver and 34 per cent. lead per ton. Silver Cup. The Silver Cup mine, lias been operating steadily during the past year, making regular shipments to tlie smelter of about one hundred and twenty- five tons per month. The ore consists of galena gray copper and a little stlnc blende of an average value of 0.5 ounces gold, 200 ounces silver and 30 per cent. lead. This mine is by far tbe best developed In the Lardeau, Its lowest workings being now over one thousand feet below the vein outcrop. It has been found that while the gold contents of tbe ore increases slightly with depth, there Is practically no change in the amounts of either the lead or the silver,,they remaining She same as in the upper levels. The ore shoots are lenticular in shape both vertically and horizontally a-hd may occur anywhere between the two wnllp- of the ore zone so that a considerable force of men Is kept constantly employed in prospecting for, and opening up, new ore shoots or lenses. Between fifty and sixty men are normally employed at the mine. At present the lowest adit on the.vein is about seven hundred and fifty feet below the outcrop, and from this level a shaft has been sunk, operated by a compressed air underground 'hoist, two hundred and fifty feet with three levels driven on the vein in both directions from the shaft. The shaft is now being sunk an additional two hundred feet and lt is the intention of the management to drive another adit crosscut to intersect the vein at an additional depth of seven or eight, hundred feet. This adit will be some three thousand feet long and will probably be commenced this summer. Winslow. At the Winslow,. situated on the northeast side of Trout lake, near the head of Eight Mile creek, a force of eight men has been kept steadily employed doing development work. Tbe vein ls quartz mineralized with pyrlte (auriferous) and a little galena. Near surface, where the ore is decomposed, there ts free gold, which has been liberated by the leaching out of the pyrlte. The development work consists of cross-cuts to, and drifts on the vein which has been proved to average eight feet in width and to carry from 0.4 ounces to 0.6 ounces gold per ton. The lowest 'cross-cut which is run in from the hillside will give a depth of seven hundred feet on. the vein. Monte Chrleto. On Canyon creek, about two miles from Gerrard, at the foot of Trout lake, is the Monte Chrlsto mine, which was relocated by a group of local mining men early last spring. The vein is In a highly carbonaceous phylite and is from one to three feet wide with slick- enslded walls. Its mineral contents is galena and gray copper running high in silver, some samples going weH over 1000 ounces to the ton. The vein crosses the creek and is being developed by drifting on it In a southeasterly direction, as far as the work has progressed the results are satisfactory but the drift Is still 1ft a shattered zone, and it will bave to be driven into the hill for another fifty feet or so before The Princess. The "Princess* mine, is situated In what is known as "Johnson" basin on ■the divide between Lake and Hope creeks at an approximate elevation of 7000 feet. There are two veins traversing the property, both carrying pyrlte and galena, but coursing at an angle, one with the other. The big vein runs up the draw along the foot of the snow shown In the foreground, and is six feet wide, well mineralized with pyrlte and galena, assaying 0.2 ounces gold, 30 ounces, silver and 20.6 per cent, lead per ton. The second vein follows the ridge shown in the foreground, Is four feet wide of quartz containing pyrite and calclte. These two veins intersect close to the summit of the divide and it is the intention of the owners to find this Intersection, with the expectation of getting a good shoot of ore, so soon as the snow goes off enough In the spring. Placer Mines. At Ten Mile, on the South Fork of Lardo creek, two old prospectors have been doing some "placerlng" with a home-made apparatus. Tbe gravel is part of the old bed of Lardo creek, and close to this spot, some seven or eight years ago, a pocket of gold was discovered which yielded between three and four thousand dollars. During the past season enough gold has been taken out to pay the men wages, but no big pockets were found. The existence of placer gold has heen known of for years cilong Lardo creek, and several attempts have been made to mine the creeK in various places, but these attempts have not paid very well owing to boulders, and the difficulties of handling the water from the creek, it being at flood during the months from May to September, which are the best suited for placerlng owing to the absence of snow and frost. A dredge has been built to mine the Lardeau river (between Poplar and Gold hill. A trial run was made late last fail which demonstrated the existence of gold ln paying quantities but showed some defects in the machinery. These will be at once remedied and a full season's run made this year, when It is hoped to make some big clean-ups. Southwest Mineral Belt. In the early part of the year three shipments were made of ore froiii the Francis mine, to the Trail smelter, the ore was mined while doing development work and yielded 307.1 ounces sliver, 28 per cent, lead; 171 ounces silver, 17 per cent, lead; and 560 ounces silver and 38 per cent, lead, respectively. There are two well-defined ore shoots, which have been opened up on three levels, consisting of galena carrying gray copper and silver sulphide (argentine). Some specimens run very high in silver while a considerable portion of tiie ore shoot yields 0.4 ounces gold, 1079.3 ounces silver, and 30 per cent, lead per ton. Late in the fall this property was sold to the Ethel Silver Mining Co., Ltd., of Spokane and is now being operated by them. They have recently made their first shipment of ore to the smelter and expect to make regular shipments while "raw- hiding" lasts; there should be no trouble in doing this as there Is plenty of ore In sight. The results of the shipments from the Francis are being watched with much interest by local people as it is known that quite a record can be established for high grade ore shipments if the mine be properly handled, the ore being the richest silver ore thus far shipped from the Lardeau and it is believed that it will materially help to --bring tbe district before the notice of the mining capitalists. Silver Bell, Helena and Copper Chief. Tbe claims immediately adjoining tbe Francis, known as the Helena and Silver Bell groups, will be developed during the present year, as tlie rich •Francis" vein is known to traverse the Silver Bell ground and another very promising vein, the Helena. On the Copper Chief, which Immediately adjoins the Silver Bell, considerable development work has been done on a vein which is supposed to be a continuation of the Francis. The ore ls similar In character but doe's not carry such high values. On this7 property is a big vein of pyrrhotlte upon which very little work has been done and which carries small quantities ot copper and silver. ; Craig Group. Near the head of Three Mile creek the "Craig" group are situated. On this property are two well-defined veins which have been developed to a small extent by surface prospecting and short adits. Tbe veins are of quartz carrying both pyrite and galena, which in view of the results being obtained at tbe Francis mine by the. Ethel Silver Mining Co., and the fact tbat this vein i-t in a similar formation and Is both gold and silver bearing would seem to be well worth developing. The present owners have not sufficient capital to properly open up tbe mine but have demonstrated their faith by keeping up their assessment work. Those who are familiar with the "Lardeau" are convinced as to it being bountifully endowed with -mineral wealth and are hoping from year to year that capital will become (Interested and seriously undertake the task of its development on a considerable scale. There are enormous bodies of low-grade ore and small bodies of high-grade ore which only await systematic and intelligent -development to amply repay those who advance the necessary funds for their exploitation and getting to market.

You will find it will pay you to keep changing the seed as often as possible. In getting the seed the roost difficult thing is to know what kind to buy and where to get it. I plant from 5 to 10 acres of potatoes each year and have tried eet eral kinds. Last year I had four different varieties, three of these were Imported seed. I can supply good clean seed potatoes, free from scab. The best variety I have la the New York Thoroughbred, a potato similar In color and texture to the Early Rose, but not so long and slim. They yielded me last year 30 per cent more than any other variety I had. Tbe Puritan lg a white potato which I imported last year. They have a perfect, clean and smooth skin. Prices as follows:1.

The Canadian Manufacturers' association which is coming to Vancouver this summer will no doubt be glad to have a look at Nelson and tbe Kootenay, preferably on their journey west; and no doubt the Board of Trade will make suitable arrangements to have them do so. In one point the situation here so far as it ls of special interest to manufacturers, has been radically changed by the contract for the construction of the Kettle River Valley railway. Nelson will no longer be at the end or the middle of a branch line, but will be on a through route,—on the shortest and best through route between the southern Canadian prairie and the coast. The Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk are both at work on lines running to tbe neighborhood of the Crow's Nest Pass. Between the coast and tbe districts along those lines there will be a largp traffic. Will those railways haul that traffic two or "three hundred miles north to the Yellowhead and then two or three hundred miles south again to the latitude of Vancouver, or will they save from four to six hundred miles by building through the Crow's Nest direct to tbe coast7 We are willing to go on record as predicting that before the Grand Trunk has completed its line to Prince Rupert and before tlie C. N. R. has completed Its line to Vancouver, they will both be hauling coal from the mines in the Crow's Nest Pass, and will have Indicated their intention to build- lines across British Columbia througn that gateway. MACKENZIE KING'S ANTI-COMBINE BILL. Hon. Mr. Mackenzie King bas introduced a bill to provide for "the Investigation of combines, monopolies and mergers which may enhance prices or restrict competition to the detriment of consumers." The opposition In the commons seems to come largely from members of Mr. King's own party; support also may come from both sides of the house. In the country at large the same disposition to forget party lines In considering the measure may Well be shown. Scrutiny of the wording of the bill may or may not show that It ls so framed as to attain Its purpose. But the object and intention as set forth in the title is one deserving of effective support from the general public The chief criticism that can be made in this respect is that such legislation, has long been called for and should have been introduced much sooner. It would be futile to attempt to prevent the formation of "combines, monopolies and mergers." The thing cannot be done. Men cannot, be prevented from communicating with each other and agreeing upon concerted action, as employees or as employers, as consumers or as producers, aa buyers or as sellers. The passage of laws to prevent open, avowed combination would simply re- Bult In the invention of new methods to accomplish the same object. Of what real effect has the Sherman antitrust law been In the United States? Look at the record in the case of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, for Instance. Some kinds of business are In their nature monopolistic; they are "natural monopolies." Even in other kinds of business there is a natural and inevitable tendency toward combination. All this leads to abuses with which every one is more or less familiar. Two remedies are proposed. One Is drastic and revolutionary,—state ownership of all forms of business controlled by monopolies or by monopolistic combinations. The other is state Inspection, publicity and such state action as the circumstances in each individual case may suggest. Some years .ago there, was a strong, feeling in prairie Canada in favor of. government ownership of railways. Government control was tried. Manitoba secured a control over rates tin the C. N. R. The Dominion government created a commission which has jurisdiction In the matter of facilities on all railways, and also a more limited control of rates. What has been the result? The people no longer are up in arms against the railways. They no longer feel that they are wholly at the mercy of corporations that can charge what tbey see fit. Government ownership is now little heard of. Government. control In one form or another may be reasonably effective in dealing with combinations' of other sorts also, in cases where the need arises. Tbe first step to take is to know tbe facts many of which are now not accessible. That is one -reason for such a measure as Mr. Borden has advocated and as Mr. Mackenzie King seems now to have Introduced. Publicity,—the doing away with the secrecy in which matters affecting the public business and commerce of the country Is mow carefully wrapped,—will of itself accomplish a great deal. EDITORIAL NOTE. Horse racing as a sport with incidental betting Is one thing. Horse racing as a business of which racetrack gambling ls the main feature and object Is another. Shut out of Seattle by legislation a number of professional tin horns came over to Victoria last year and for sixty days fleeced the would be "sports" of that fair city to such an extent as to make money rather scarce for the legitimate busi- ness men, The same thing has been done fn Ontario by similar transient "racing men" from New York and Chicago. If the Miller bill is not satisfactory and is to be turned down, parliament should pass some other measure dealing with this matter before adjournment. Last year's experience waB far from creditable to Canada, and a second year of the same sort of thing would be still less creditable. RACING MEETINGS WILL BE 8HORTENED TORONTO, April 13.—The Ontario Jockey club decided today on dates for Its spring meeting which will begin on May 21 and close May 28.

"The -big feilow hardly seemed to breathe and in the clinches his strength was such that lt was like wrestling a stonewall." Jeffries himself wore a complacent smile after he had completed the bout, with some rope skipping and bag punching. "I am in good condition right now," he declared.

Thomas, til Sudbury Out., Is one of those who know It. He writes: "For over three years I suffered from kidney disease. First I* thought I had sprained my bade, for suddenly the pain would catch the snjall of my back and it would be impossible for me to straighten myself up for several minutes. A dull ache across the kidneys was always present, my urine was thick and cloudy, and passing It caused a burning, scalding pain. Tried medicines, but they failed. I was advised to try Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, as they had cured my wife years before. A few boxes affected a complete cure. I now enjoy the blessings of good heal&t -which is due to this remedy." Don't neglect kidney trouble—it's too dangerous as well as too painful. That old, reliable family remedy, Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, has cured thousands and will cure you. It is equally effective in curing constipation and its attendant evils, biliousness, indigestion and sick headaches, and in purifing the blood. 25c a box at vour druggist's, 10 :i Like view Hotel !: < > Co- <r Hall and Vernon Kraal ■ B.

The pictures that will be shown are extra good, and Include "By His Own Hand," a thrilling* drama, by the New York Motion Picture company; "Convincing Evidence,' and "Musical neighbors." A most Interesting picture Is on at the Empire theatre this evening, entltlad ''The Garbage of Paris," showing the method of dealing with the garbage of that great French capital. Every phase of the industry Is seen, such as gathering, sorting, conveying, cremating, Anally showing the ashes being loaded Into freight cars to be sold as fertilizer. Other subjects are ,'The Hypnotic-Cure," a most laughable picture; "The Mountebank's Watch Cape," In which one sees some very tricky work, and a most exciting dramatic -picture entitled "A Bride Won by Bravery." The subjects shown at the Arcade last night were a very well balanced lot. "Lemlnole's Vengeance" shows us how a slave returns an Englishman's good service. This is a very tine drama, full joi life and thought, with a splendid moral attached thereto. "A Woman's -.Heart,' (colored Pathe), Is a pathetic little drama and tells an interesting little story ot how a man who has divorced and remarried without telling nls second wife he was ever married before. The comic consists of: "The Two Donkeys," "Distracted Man" and "An Affair of Honor." "An Assortment of Aeroplanes" gives one of the best pictures of these machines that has beeit put on in Nelson. There is much interest in seeing the different types of machines; also a much closer Inspection of them' than In previous films, ones attention Is keen on tbe portrait, and there is no monotony isuch as Ib generally the case with aerial'flights.

FRENCH CANADIANS ARE COMING WEST Party of Pour Hundred Pass Through Toronto For Alberta From Maine TORONTO, April 13—Four hundred and lourteen repatriated French Canadians who 'have sold their property in the state of Maine to return to Canada and settle In the west, which they believe to be Uie land ofi opportunity, passed through the city this week. The train arrived from Montreal shortly after 8 o'clock aud remained here for half an hour. Seldom has a more in- tercstlng party passed through the Union station and all seemed optimistic and happy. The tralnload represented 80 families, and among the passengers were 110 children, some mere babies.. Few of the men were able to speak English, hut from three of the 414 a representative of the Mall and Empire learned the motive which prompted these sturdy Frenchmen to sell all tbey had in the New England states to venture Into a new country, where they would find friends of their own race, with an opportunity for their families. Will Found French Colony It appears that during the winter months Father Barbue, who went out to Vonda, Sask., with a few followers about five years ago, has been touring the New England states doing evangelistic emigration work among the French Canadians there. He showed them views of farm lands operated by some of the party he brought out which were producing profitable crops. Those who listened to 'him reflected and considered their small holdings of rolling and rocky ground in Maine, where only potatoes and a few vegetables could be grown. With a French Canadian's desire to move to brighter fields, the number who passed through the city lpst night decided to sell their property and venture out to Shell River, where Father Barube Intends forming a ■French, colony. Each of the families and Individuals on the train represented at least $1000 capital and many had more. One of them had stowed away $8000, and another, who was probably the richest man on the train, was capitalized at $15,000. Each male intended taking up a homestead in the Shell River district while many said if the land came up to their expectations they would buy additional property. First C. N. R. Settlement Train Tlie credit of the excursion, hctwever, does not belong entirely to this patriate and energetic priest, but largely to Osborne Scott, travelling passenger agent of the Canadian Northern railway. After Father Barube's tour, Mr. Scott went into the New England states to arrange about transportation. The settlers were brought to Quebec and from there to" Montreal. At this point Mr. Scott arranged to bring the newcomers out to the west in t'he Grand .Trunk -Pacific' equipment whiich the G.T.R. wanted taken out to the west. It consisted of- five tourist cars, three first class coaches and two baggage cars. The route to be taken is via Chicago and Duluth and then over the C. N. R. to Prince Albeit and Shell- brooke. This is the first excursion of repatriated French Canadians to be brought from the eastern states to the Canadian west and also marks the first setllement train moved over the country by the C.N.R.. It is interesting to note that Mr, Scott, who Is In charge of the party, claims a great grandmother who was In the first party of settlers brought out to the west by the Hudson Bay-company in the year 11o%_- "I am going out for the benefit of my sons," said George A. Davlau. formerly a druggist In Watervllle, Me. "They did not like the drug business," he continued, "and iwanted to go out and take up land in the west after they heard Father Barube. I have decided to leave my profession and take up land also. My intention Is to homestead and then buy up enough land to establish my sons." Joseph Jasonjuaioi and Horace Henley, who also spoke very good English, were travelling together. About four or five years ago, they said, times became a Uttle hard in Quebec, and they lost their positions In the factory where they were employed. At that time the lumbering business in Maine was booming and there they decided to go. They took wp land finally but got very little return for their money. They had a little saved up and "when Father Barube came they decided to follow with the others to the new colony. Land ln Maine they claimed was $25 to $50 an acre. They smile at the thought of getting 160 acres of fertile land free. Both men were going to homestead together and their plan was to start right in and prepare the land for seeding. so that they would have a crop the second year. Many More Will Follow About 8:30 the conductor shouted "Al] aboard" and there iwas a rush for the coaches. It was noticeable the number of young people who were among the passengers. They were all well dressed and one railway official remarked that he never saw a finer body of settlers leave the Union station. Father Barube is expected to be ln Toronto within a week or two on his way back to the New England states. He stated to a representative of the Canadian Northern before leaving for Vonda that he expected that ov-er 25,000 more French. Canadians living ln the eastern states would return to Canada shortly and Join their brethren ln the colony which Is being formed In Alberta.

TORONTO, April 13,—The announcement that ruby gems nad been discovered in Ashby township, adjoining the county of Rentrew, has caused quite a nutter ot excitement tn that district. Since last November a strong syndicate has been quietly working on -600- acres of land on the 15th and loth concessions or the townsnip, much to the mystification ot tne people le- aldlng in the vicinity. Now that the company has perfected its plans and obtained options on 400 additional acres, the real .secret of the operations nas become public. The stonea found have turned out to te very high ln value, the formation being practically identical with that which obtains in the ruby fields of bunna.ii, fromi which almost -all the tine ruby gems come. Several of the atones have been cut by a leading jeweler and have been found to he extiemely good iu color. Just at the present time tne. syndicate has erected on Us property a large camp house for the workmen, a stable and workshop. Around the principal corn-pound, which ia 200 feet square, a lence some 12 feet In height has been built, having In one corner a talrly gnod-slser building, which Is teimed the "Change House." It is here the men working on the property must first divest themselves of their clothing and don au.ts provided by the syndicate before entering tbe compound. 'When tlielr days work Is over they ohange back to their regular clothing before leaving the ehclosure, On the "Change House' a high tower has -been erected commanding a view of the enclosure, and here a watchman will be constantly kept on guard, each watchman remaining on duty six hours. The syndicate has been at work on the property since last November, and, despite the curiosity of the people of the district and Btrangers who had been attracted to the spot by the news of the strange development going on, they were not anxious to make known their plans to the public, as they are not seeking to sell stock In Canada, Better Than Diamonds, Samples of the stones found on the surface of the property have been seen in this city and are pronounced by Jewelers to be very high In quality. Some years ago when Mr. Archibald Blue, tnen head of the Ontailo bureau ot mines, announced hts belief that diamonds would be founu in the Clay belt of New Ontario, people were openly sceptical. Here, however, Is a hnd of precious stones probably moie valuable than a discovery of a tiianumn held. Although rubles rank fourth among the precious stones, authorities state that a perfect ruby of the weight of ten or more carats brings a price greater than does a diamond of the same weight. The Discovery. The discovery of this Held dates back to October of last year. During turn month J. H. Jewell, of Toronto, \va» entertaining a party of fi lends at Jiia hunting lodge ut Jewellvllle. Two prospectors who had been out looking for graphite, chanced across some of the ruby stont-s, and tney Immediately repaired to Mr. Jewell with samples of their discovery, Air. Jewell Is -he owner in Renfrew county of the largest corundum deposits In the world, and he at once recognized the samples as ruby corundum. He had engineers and specialists in precious stonea go over the property, and they were all In turn openly enthusiastic. Following this a strong syndicate was formed, with a capital of Ki.r-ui.iiwi, of which 91,500,000 has ulready been underwritten by leading capitalists in New York and boston. WORLD'* Filit IN WINNIPEG 1914 Finally Decided Upon and Date Fixed —Will Cost Eight or Ten Million Dollars. WINNIPEG, April 13.-Canada's exposition is assured for 1914. Tills is the uate ilxed upon alter much confeience for Hie purpose of getting at an agreement on tills.point that would be acceptable to the several Interests that are Involved. Such an agreement has been unlved at, and tne exposition committee lias taken up the question of linanees with renewed activity, this point having been allowed to lapse while the matter of the date was being threshed out. Now that tniH Important point lias been settled, there Is no need for further delay, and the plan for raising money for Canada's Mggest show Is being worked out In general und detail. Large Local Subscriptions. Tlie committee Is concerned chieily in the plan for raising money in Winnipeg and chiefly in arranging the plan so tnat it will be equltaible, and will afford all those who wish for It, a chance to get ln on tlie subscription lists. Preliminary working out of these lists, together with declarations of some principal men und corporations, show that theie will be no difficulty In raising a million dollars by stock subscription In Winnipeg, If so much as this la needed In addition tu that which will be derived Irom other sources. Indeed, Interest In the exposition ls so great among the men who have looked closely Into the project as u gr* at national event which will bring snleiidio results to all parts of the Dominion, that there Is no limit, within reason, to the support which the exposition will receive nmong the business men and general public of Winnipeg. Postponement a Good Thing. Althougli there has been opposition to the postponement of the exposition, it is believed that this will be the best thins that could happen, in the long run. Beginning wltah an idea of holding some sort of celebration of the settlement of the Red River Valley by Lord Selkirk's colonists, the project grew larger with every stage of consideration and will resolve itBeif, as an actual event, into a ,blg, comprehensive exploitation of Canada and Its resources. In the first stages of development of the exposition plan, the amount of money which now easily can he raised in Winnipeg alone, would have been quite sufficient to pay for such an event as the Selkirk centennial was blocked out to be; now the easels different and the complete exposition, with home and foreign participation of the character that it will surely toe, will involve an outlay of somo eight or ten million dollars. Plan of Empire Proportions. The money thus far in sight for- this project of empire proportions, amounts to n*r four millions, exclusive of what is to be raised by cash subscription "In Winnipeg. Eventually,, there will be money enough to pay all exposition expenses, and .It Is tihe intention of the men who havo the matter in charge, to work out a plan of exposition finance that will ensure enough money and which also will provide for a dividend on the stock sold. It Is not, of course, certain thnt the enn- mlttee wilt be able to compass the return to Investors in the exposition stock of anything like the larger part of their investment,' but Information at hand warrants the statement that the plan that Is being worked out for providing finances for Canada's .tlrst exposition will be carefully calculated to produce the best results In procuring the necessary funds and foi* making repayment to subscribers to the fund. Some expositions have made a creditable record on this latter point, and the Winnipeg committee will try to Improve on all previous records. Mlnard's Liniment Cures Sprains.

RIVAL GANGS (Continued from First" Page.). To his worship, the witness said when he waa going home from Salmo at 6 o'clock on the evening of Monday, with Torny and Shutting, walking oa tho track, they passed the four prisoners on a handcar. Pete Humernick had on a raincoat which Pete Torny said belonged to him. One of the men on the handcar had an umbrella and there was also a blanket. The witness recognized the umbrella as his, though the handcar was going fast. The stolen articles were valued at more than ?10. This concluded the case for the crown. Mr. Farrls reserved defence, in the case of his client, O'Sulllvan. The three other accused, however, all made statements. Stories of Prisoners. George Teleruk swore that on Monday he and Alexandervich were working on the track when O'Sulllvan and Humernick went to Ymir for dinner. O'Sulllvan gave him the key of the section house, and told him to take the valise and articles away, or he would be fined $10. Peter Humernick swore he and his foreman, O'Sulllvan, went to Ymir for dinner at noon Monday, and had a glass of beer. They went back a mile toward Porto Rico, and he drove spikes for Alexandervich. Then he went into the bush to sleep. Later Alexandervich woke him up to go to Salmo. Teleruk was not there. Voyer Alexandervich swore that he and Teleruk were left working when the others went to dinner, and when they came back he heard the former and Teleruk talking. Teleruk then went away. Humernick quit work a little later and the foreman and the witness laid spikes for a while, and then went home. After the tools were put away, the foreman and Teleruk arrived wit hbundles and Teleruk said they were from the section house. The witness stated that it was wrong to take the things of other people, but the foreman replied that it was no concern of his. Committed for Trial. His worship committed the four accused for trial before the next sitting of a court of competent jurisdiction, but informed them that they had the privilege of electing speedy trial if they wished.

Once a iweek at least these hard working gentlemen art- expected to turn out from a column to a Bull page of phsychologlcal guff on the lighters, and it is little wonder that they have been driven in desperation to the rankest kind of nature faking, it U lucky for them that T.R. has himself joined the merry throng of zoological imigtnators, tor otherwise -they would have been put up for membership in the "shorter und uglier" club months ago. "Give us a good hot one about Jetf and the coon for Sunday," says the editor catching tlie long suffering .feature writer as he is going out lor a quiet lunch. "Something out of the ordinary run of fight stuff, you know. Psychological end of the story and aU that." "What, another one?" protests the unfortunate. "I've written three in the last month." "Huh," snorts the editor. "That sort of thing is dead'easy for yon and the public just eats it -up. You do It better ahan anyone else in the country, so don't throw us down now." So the writer goes back to his patient typewriter and gloomily contemplates the mocking keyboard. "Now, what the devil can I call Jeff this week?" he grumbles. "Cave man? No that's worn threadbare. Water buffalo? Used that iweek before last. Gee, I've JuBt got some new ideas," he says in pleased contemplation as he spots a volume of natural history (with pictures) in the big bookcase. He hastily turns over the leaves, mentally checking off tlie list of anlmalB that he and the rest of the brigade have UBed in comparison with Jeff and Johnson. "Ah, here's a new one. The Yak.' he says in pleased contemplation of the picture. "No, hang It. It's got too much hair for Jeff. It wont do at all." Finally he looks under the Gs and cornea to Gnu. "Pine," he says, 'Til make him a gnu ,and trust to luck 'to find something (or the coon later on. Then he attacks 'the typewriter with Kooseveltlan fury and writes: , "To the psychologist, James J. Jeffries, sitting gloomily on his chair, his great hairy hands hanging on the end of his arms, his unseeing eyes looking steadfastly and, unblinklngly at nothing but seeing all, resembles nothing so much as the 'brindled gnu. One might almost Imagine that this splendid patient animai ofl a man, on whose skill and prowess hangs the hope of the white race (this 'hope of the white race* stuff must go In every story) was back In his native jungles of Patagonia, lying sleepily beside his warm nest of cassowary feathers, but ready on the instant to spring Into furious activity and demolish'with one blow of his flail like tali the sneaking bull bongo that the colored man most resembles." And so on to the full space requirements.. The longer and more involved the sentences and the more animals employed in the story the bigger the hit. "Fine business" gloats the editor, when the copy comes into his hands. 'I giu.*ss that will hold them for a while. Great stuff, Billy. You've done yourself proud this time." And then the editor and the featuro writer go out "nd have a plain, ordinary drink in a saloon that is sometimes frequented by plain, everyday prize fighters, whose knowledge of natural history is confined to their experience in the "bug ward" of the hospital. BISH PDART IS SINKING Dying Prelate Has Received Laat Sacrament of the Church—All Hope Abandoned A dispatch from Vancouver says: The condition of Bishop Dart of New Westminster has taken a change for the worse, and his lordship Is rapidly sinking.

The Newmarket Craven meeting starts this year on Tuesday next and just a fortnight later the first spring meeting is held at 'headquarters, when of course the 2000 and 1000 guineas are decided. Before then it is probable that some at least of the classic candidates will be seen carrying silk and the puzzle now attaching to the situation may be clari- iied. Last week the Newbury spring meeting was held which generally provides some good racing, while the Newbury spring cup is now an established handicap event. City and Suburban Racing at Epsom opens on April 19. •when both the great Metropolitan and the City and Suburban are run, tlie latter on Wednesday. The City and Suburban is always a great ante-post betting handicap, and iwlth a very high class lot engaged it looks like being a remarkably good race this year. Among those who may he seen at the post are Minoru, Sir Martin, Land League. Arranmore, Sealed Orders and Strickland. The race often falls to a horse of high class with top -weight and if Sir Martin or Minoru are trained tor it their conqueror will be difficult to find, There is of course a chance of their being reserved ifor ihe Ascot, where tbeli* engagements and general attractions are oi the strongest kind.

The Grand Trunk Pacific company announces that the transpacific service from Prince Rupert to the Orient will be established in lain, and this service will be Inaugurated before vessels are built for the Atlantic route. Charles M. Hayes, president of the G.T.P., made this announcement in an Interview given recently. He said the Grand Trunk Paclllc company would opeiate Its own liners in the Atlantic and Paclllc, und the Paclllc line will be established flrst because the western part of the tianscontinental railroad will be first completed. This line wilt be open from' Winnipeg to Prince Rupert in 1913, and the first lleet for the Paclllc "Will be readv- by that time, construction ibelng probably commenced before two [years have elapsed. G. T. P. Still Wants Chinese. Speaking with regard to the steamship service on the Pacific for the Grand Trunk Pacific system, Mr. Hays stated In an Interview published by Syren and Shipping, that he foresaw a huge traffic to be built up there, provided the present antipathy to the yellow race which prevails all over the Pacific coast of Canada and the United •States equally can be overcome. If the animosity continues, the extension of tlie commerce which should naturally follow the development of the transcontinental communication will be seriously handicapped, if not Indeed entirely checked. "Moreover," Mr. Hayes continued, "there are suclu developments ln ocean steamers In progress—for example, that In connection with the turbine-reciprocating engines ■—that we shall lose nothing by waiting. We do not (he said) intend to buy second- imnd vessels or to have under our Has any but the most perfect craft available when we are ready to handle more completely than we can now the passenger traffic from east to west." Canadian Northern Plans. The new Canadian Northern Atlantic service will be inaugurated from Bristol on May 12. Mr. Mackenzie, on of the brads of the big corporation, Is quoted as follows: "We shall commence our ocean steamship service lit a quiet way,". Bald Mr. Mackemle, "but the Royal Edward ana the Royal George have a speed which will, we believe, enable them to leave Avon- mouth docks regularly on alternate Thursdays on and after May 12, Capt. Roberts, formerly of the Dominion line, will be in ■command, and Capt. Harrison, who will, I think, take out the Boyal George on May 26, has also had long experience on the Canadian transatlantic route. These two stoumers will have unsurpassed accommodation for all classes of passengers. The Volturno, which Is a large freight carrier, Is being fitted to carry 1,000 third class passengers and saloon accommodation for a few." " NINE MONTHS LONG ENOUGH.

' ANTI-COMBINE BILL Desultory Discussion in House of Commons—Little Progress Achieved OTTAWA, AprU 13—For three -hours and a half today Mr. Mackenzie King spoke on Ills anti-combine bill which has the title of "an act to provide for the Investigation ot combines and -monopolies and mergers which may enhance prices or restrict competition to the detriment of consumers." In Cold Storage Since Jan. 18 this iegislartlon has been in the government refrigerator and alter his three and a half hours address today Mr. King expressed surprise that further details should (be needed not only .by the opposition but by members of the government side and went to the length of lecturing the critics of the bill because they wanted It referred to a select committee. The talk tonight was mainly devoted to thia question of reference to a committee, but Mr. King was adamant. He said no good purpose would be served and It would prevent the bill becoming law this session. Times Have Changed Another argument of the minister was that 22 years ago a parliamentary committee went fully Into this very question and was therefore seized of the facts. This was ridiculed by the opposition,'who pointed out'that times had changed during the past 22 years and that such an important measure as this should not be forced through in the last meeting of the session and there was no opportunity oG studying Its merits. One of the strongest opponents of th© bill as drafted was E. M. Macdonald, Liberal member for Plotou.- He came out boldly for a committee. .Inquisitorial Powers "Mr. Dotoerty, St. Anne, informed the minister of labor that he bad communications from t'he Montreal board of trade and other bodies 'pointing out that the bill should not be proceeded with until they had an opportunity of studying it and preferring their views. Mr. Doherty was afraid 'that the .bill would enable an absolutely inquisitorial enquiry to be made into private business alfalrs of individuals and corporations and such legislation should be very thoughtfully considered before being enacted. Mr. Gercais, Liberal, closed tbe pro- ceedings with a warning to the minister to go slow in his attempts to reform the world with one blow of his sword. Mr. King's talk ranged over the field of high prices and good wages with an occasional incursion into paths of the effect of tariffs upon the cost of living. The result Is that after a day of talk the house rose-with little progress made with the measure.

SANDWICH GIRLS IN 10ND0N NOW New Work for Girls Proves Huge Success—Their Natty Uniform— "Busy Bees'" Other Work. London lias Just been introduced to the sandwich girl. She is so pretty, aa capable, so natty and jaunty In her black and red uniform; and she is so infinitely superior ln every way to the despised sandwich man—who wouldn't be a sand" ich man If he could possibly be anything else —tbat this large but conservative village has given her a warm welcome. The sandwich girl has come to stay. She Is proud to he a sandwich girl. To turn sandwich man Is to confess tbat you bave failed. But If you aie a sandwich girl all London knows that yon are the newest kind of emancipated woman; knows, too, that your capabilities are not limited to carrying a "sandwich." You can make a gown, and trim a but, and concoct a salad, and wait 011 table, and even mend a bachelor's socks. Not Her Real Name. Tlie Idea was Miss Hamilton's. Miss Hamilton Is not her real name. Her Identity Is shrouded In mystery. It may be there is a reason for tbe secrecy. Antl, again, perhaps tbe mystery is designed to pique the curiosity of the public. Confessedly Miss Hamilton is ln tlie advertising business, and an Interesting mystery Is a good advertisement. Anyhow London is Interested In Miss Hamilton. "The sandwich man," Miss Hamilton told herself, "is not a good adverts ment. He is too depressing, An advertisement, to he good, should instantly convey tbe impression of up-to-date prosperity. It should please ihe eye." Advertised for Girls. And right then the Idea of tbe sandwich girl was born. "You see," Miss Hamilton explained, "In my search for an idea J kept always before me that one fact whieh a woman in business must neier forget: that man is a fool and reeking with conceit. "The sandwl-h man we have had always with us. He came over with William the Concruerer. We will wait until doomsday If we rely upon man to Invent a superior substitute." She advertised for girls. Anybody who advertises imp'oymem lu London In these Iorii Gays Will get plentv of applicants. She was u,blo to pick and choose. She selected young girls wllh at least a modicum of good looks and some specialized training. • „ She called her girls tbe Busy Bees. She employs as dilllmaster for tlie Bees an ex-army sergeant; for the Been must walk erect, head up. chin in. shoulders back, eyes flashing with a martial air. Boots Are Trim, tier -boots are always stout, trim and hlu'hlv polished. Her uniform is always specliless. Her cap '■-. faltltful copy ot Tommy Atkins' fatigue* cap* Bits cocklly on the side of ber head, amidst a Huff ot curls. When she reaches tlie end of her beat she clicks her heels and executes a smart about-face. Never a wayward glance. Never an answering nod or smile. She squelches familiarities with a stony face. The sandwich men eye her irr-hewtldfT- ment. "Bllmnie, mute, 'ere's a go as yer like! Wot's a bloke a-goln* ter do WlV the Wimmen a-takln' uv tbe bread out uv *is mouth." Poor Sandwich Men. Poor sandwich men! They cannot understand tbe sandwich girl. They agree with their more prosperous brothers that tho sphere of women is in fhe home. They cannot understand why the sandwich sirl is so much better clothed, better paid and better fed than tbey. They cannot understand her popularity and why she U crowding them oft the kerbs. But man—even a sandwich man—Miss Hamilton says, is a fool, and reeking with conceit. It Is to be feared tbat Miss Hamilton s Instincts are mostly commercial, and that she Is In the Busy Bee business for profit.' Nevertheless she has opened up a big field for women ln London, for not only are the Busy Bee sandwich girls, but they mend bachelors* socks, do emergency work as Ivplsts, dressmakers, milliners, and are altogether very busy femlnlnes.
