Duff, grand organizer of the Dominion, at a social iu the Oddfellows Hail. A crowded hall showed the zeal of the organizations in anything pertaining to the good of the Orders and as the proceeds of the entertainment were to go to the Orange Orphans Home in Selby, Ontario, it was gratifying to note that charity is a leading feature in the Orange doctrine. The evening began with a short programme of songs, addresses, and recitations, Revds. Misener, Christmas, White, aud Elmhurst being the principal speakers outside of Lodge members. After the disposal of the first part of the evening, an adjournment was made to the ante room, where a dainty supper graced the long tables, and to which the guests did most ample justice. After which all again repaired to the main hall, and then it was that Mr Duff made the speech of the evening. Of fluent, easy speech, good command of language,and of couise thoroughly conversant with his topic, the gentleman talked of the Orange Order, making many points clear, which are generally vaguely .understood by the lay mind. (, Hu pointed out the objects of the Society, briefly sketched the history of its, formation, and gave accounts of the causes leading up thereto. Reverting to certain remark" made earlier -by-the���������Revt^-M r-Elm h urstr-a nent- the non keeping of obligations of members, he pointed out that there were black sheep io every flock, religios as well as social, and that this was no reason that any stigma should attach to un organization on this account, that the strongest efforts.of Orangeism were directed towards keeping ail.men in the line of a right life. Much ap* lause greeted the speech, better than wbich has nol been heard in Cumberland Orange circles. After a few further remarks and some social conversation, the meeting dispersed, and the Lodge went into session in order to benefit by the exemplification of the secret work by Mr Uuff. The Rev, Mr White mentioned, is the travelling superintendent Of Methodist Missions, how visiting here. He told, among other things, of visiting Comox with his father ���������who held services there, ia the early 60's. ., ,��������������������������� ".'..JiSfl mm CASH STORE. & Prizes [GIVEN AWAY Every 25o. purchase in my Storo entitles you to one guess as to��������� How many Beans there are in the bucket that is in my window. 1���������Hundsome Meat Platter aud Vegetable Dish, v.*.lue $3 59 2-���������Doa.

But then It's too late. It thus befell with TIarkness, and Leda wore tlio two starry bands so deftly, posed amid the knotted tangles of her sunny curls that they suggested a dladetn aud l������ nowise led any man to the conclusion which time honored custom has drawn from tlie solitaire. Ia faet, before the betrothal was a week old Harkness himself began to wonder. And wben, at a dance at the Lakeside club, young Wryeroft, the very famous half back. Invited Leda to go ont for a moonlight row around the pier with him and Leda accepted and wont Harlcness not only wondered, but grit his teeth as well. No man who has spent ten years dancing attendance on other men's fiancees and other men's wives is going to enjoy lifo while his own persoual fiancee and future wife is off with * fellow whose same bas beaded newspaper columns sad whose chest can hardly find space for all his medala. The couple were gone an hour and seven minutes by a watch which had come down through three generatlons'of the Harkness family, and when they did reappear the owner of the watch stood at the head of tlie wide stair and claimed, the young lady for the next waltz. W17- t-roft. happily oblivious to > his crime, strolled off, and, Harkness led the girl ���������around the wide promenade to a place which was quiet and retired enough for private conversation. He was boiling within, but nothing couid have been more sweetly calm than tlie way jgjnjilcb hc_putJiis jirmjibout her and Ho asked with careless placidity: "Did you row far, dear?" "I didn't row at all," said Leda rowed." Harkness kissed her with exceeding eentleuess. "Did you land anywhere, darling���������on the Point, for .Instance?" "N-u-u-o," said Leda. Harkness passed his finger over her pretty hair in ^llence for a few minutes, and thence suddenly gave a sharp exclamation:0 "Good God, Leda, you've lost one of your combsl" Leda put. both bands to her head ana almost shrieked aa eho realized ths truth.

Very much later in the evening while Uarkacss was twofltepplng with Mrs. Lancaster a sudden turn showed him I-eda speaking earnestly to Wryeroft. Wryeroft looked terribly used up. and Harkueaa smiled grim I v, ,; "Oli, whnt a mmllor.aaia Mrs. Lao������ raster. "It's both ��������� Impressive and frightening.

He gave the bell two punches for hot water and twisted the dressing rase toward the window as a preliminary to shaving'. This mirror refieetod tbe Point, and as Harkness started to tip it he saw a girl 'disembarking, alono. He unhung his field glasses. Yes. it was Leda! -Ho threw the glasses on the bed nnd vent on with his toilet.

"How could you behave so?" said the iover, launching himself suddenly into the full tide of his righteous wrath, "i'ou pat me beyond all patience; going off like that with Wryeroft, when you know perfectly well that you belong to some one else, and then actually letting him"��������� Leda '(seized his arm. ���������"Only once." sbe protested earnestly, ���������only onco." "Once la otace too often," said Harkness. a great and exceeding bitterness welling up In his tone. "Once is a great, ���������rreut-many times too often, considering the situation. Now, Leda, listen to me." he continued sternly. "Either promise me that you will never, never again do anything in the slightest degree questionable or we'll call it all off. and you cun give me back the comb tlmt yoirstttrhave;" ' "Oh, I'll promise:" said Leda. with a subtnissivo choke. "I'll never, never do so again. Truly, truly. Upon my word and honor." Harkness looked to the right and left arid behind. Then he leaned down and kissed her. Leda smiled happily, almost forgetting the side comb. "She's a dear little girl," said her lover, and, taking all the driving apparatus into his right band, ho thrust ths left into his breast pocket and-''drew, forth the missing comb. Leda screamed. "Oh. whero did you And it?" "I didn't find It anywhere," he aald coolly, as be adjusted the reins again. "I look it out of your hair myself last nljht."

Wi T -yf Q.HCPE JONES He Deliver? a Lecture oo Sticking to It. f Copyright. 1903, by C. B. I-owls.] ITIZENS of Jackson's Corners- It cost me the,sum of $1.50 to Uill this town tor tho entertainment now awaiting you, but I bave a feeling deep down in my breast that after tho usual collection has been taken up I shall come out ut least a quarter ahead and be able to move on to the next town. The subject of my lecture, as you have been informed,, is "Perseverance; or, Sticking tp It." Give me liberty or dea tii. but also give me a man who won't let go after he gets hold. Truth. umbltion. virtue and honesty are good Duildiug stones, but you must have the mortar of perseverance to cement them together. Let us' take the case of Ca>s.*tr. He began looking ahead when he was fen years old. At flftc-en his father wanted to apprentice him to a cobbler, and hia mother wanted lo establish him in n Troy laundry. He had mude up his mind to be a ruler of men and events, but. for live years every sort of (lis- courogetnent was thrown in!his way. Ills father got him Into a baseball ^team, hoping that would satisfy his ambition; his uncle got him a country school to teach, thinking b? would in time become an Uncle Rube; his brother-in-law tri������l to get him to go part- nova in tlie windmill business, aud the family doctor said he was threatened with consumption and should put in most of his time fishing. Somo young men would have given up and started out as tiu peddlers or joined a circus, but Caesar bad the root hi his teeth, and he never let go. It was sticking to it that shoved him along until*, he reached the position where he could send a thousand people to jail by a, nod of his bead. They bored in on him at last and finished him off, but that simply came from jealousy. He had lived lo elucidate my contention that sticking to it beats even a beef trust. Some of you here at Jackson's Corners, which I find consist:** of fourteen houses, a store and a blacksmith shop. ~and"is~pictnres(iuely-situated-0T5-thrce- -aides of a horse pond, must have hoard of Christopher Columbus. At any rate. I will take It that you bave and call ���������jwjr, attention ��������� to the'fact that if bo ' hadn't stuck to.It we might bave been born In Africa instead of the United States. Uo first got it into his head that tbere was an acre or two of laud out- He hung to it and pushed it a Ion?;, and foot by foot he climbed up. They j tied grindstones to his coat tails. hut i they couldn't hold him down. There was no one to pat him on the hp.nd and tflJk about '���������Excelsior," but he wouldn't let go. When he did get a start, there were those who did their best to stand hlq on his Ihettd, and he bad to fight against envy and malice. ! From a farmer's boy to the ruler of the world's destinies! Think of that! He had ambition and energy, but, better thnn aH, he had the stick to it 1 notice amoue the audience a r**d- Headed boy who is half asleep. He Is redheaded, freciUe faced and stub nosed, and he has probably never been to a circus or bad his tlil of lemonade. but can 1 say that thirty years h.eiice he will not be a greater man .than Tom Piatt or Mark l-launa? If he's got the stick (o It under all that red hair, he's bound to get there, and only death can keep him oaek. ��������� My friends, 1 don't want to hurt i your feellugs by making comparisons. * 1 bave no doubt that if you had been born when George Washington was you'd bave been as big a man as he wns and perhaps biirge'r. ��������� It wasn't' your fault that you had to wait MM) years later, and I'm not the man to humiliate, you. I simply qUote bim as another successful specimen of the stick to it policy. After be had determined to' become the Father of ills Country he never let go. He got the worst of it on a hundred occasions, but he felt that hanging on would bring success in the end, and he hung.. And 1 now come down to Q. Hope Joues. the man who stands before you. I am a living illustration of .-what perseverance has doue and ������i*p"-ao. When you look" at me you see-'perseverance', itself. My parents yere honest and .- respectable, but my father didn't know' enough to sharpen an ax or my mother enough.to make catnip tea. ���������" , As a-baby 1 was lop shouldered and knockkneedl; as a child I was humpbacked and', had the earache. When-' I was five ye'&rs old I didn't kno.w a goose egg from a bapnidoor, but clown in my own mind I had a plan. I had determined to become great and famous and to place the name of Q. Hope Jones beside, that of the greatest of earth. Once. I had made up my mind I .allowed nothing to discourage or dis- suade me. 1 was fed on joknnycako and buttermilk. "I went barefoot in" winter and bareheaded in summer. 1 got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to feed the bogs and sat up till 10 o'clock at night to feed tho cows. The only schooling I had was what I taught my- , self from reading over the tax receipts and mortgages on my father's farm. As a young man I wasn't looked upon aa nny thing too good to hoe corn at 30 cents n day. and those who didn't predict that I would go Into the drive well business were sure tliat I would eventually open a side show with a cannibal for the leading attraction. They threw me down and piled It on lo me, but they could not bold me down. I got up to stick to It stronger than ever, and you see the result before you, Q. Hope Jones stands before you as a man whose mime Is known from pole to pole, and It Is known nowhere hut to be honored, lie like me. You enn if you will, and It Is not too much to hope thnt my remarks here this evening will Incite such alms nnd ambitions tlmt twenty yours hencp North America will be ruled from Jackson's Corners. I will now close and pass it round the lint, and It ls needless for me to sny that if any one here has made up Ills mind to drop In aa much ns n dime r shall expect him to stick to It nnd not put me off with throe coppers and half a dozen buttons.

Principal Auden's outlook upon education in Canada combines the fresh viewpoint of tho traveler with that of "the actual citizen; Ho came here a stranger, haa already gone from coast to coast, has assumed the leadership of Canada's chief Public School, and spent thu best part of one year in practical experience-with Canadian youth, says The Toi-ori'to News.

Such schools existed in luigiand when Upper Canada College was the site of an Indian camp.

An i to tho man whose life-work is to educate the Canadian Tom Broun, educational problems in this young land'are replete with original interest. s KeHMii-nlhil ri. Day Nchoolm.

It s-hould he* tanght with a minimum ������f grammar, as freely as possible, not at all as a means of mental discipline. The Principal regards Homer as more nccos������ary to a school boy than Milton, if studied in the original. He observes that, tbs tendency ��������� hero is to-teach English more than .classics.

At llrst blush it seems a paradox that an English master should give two dead langi*Bnres' precedence over the language of Chaucer, Sliakcspearo and Tennyson, as a s6urco"of Eng*- ; ���������Hsh culture. But it must be reniemr bered that decent Endish is seepnd, nature to: an Engiisii' lioy. Ha knows his Shakespeare iixlcjiejident of the school master, reads b-etter - books, scans a larger percentage of dignified newspapers and li.-teus to hioro standard English' spin-ehes. In this country we are yet subject, to rustic dialect, bad patois," American--; isms and foreign1 languages. Thwe-" fore, English as a dolinitc object of study is. tenfold more, necessary here than in lihigland. .,.. Principal Auden 'wisely .believes that great 'models v of j jioetry and prose should not be sul> jected to the indignity of grammatical analysis; neither- should English woixls be laboriously parsed. "' ; ; Hibl������ Slioul.l Ho <i,u*-*lit..> , As to religious instruction; the Principal believes tliat "the Bible should be taught in the schools, lie also contends that the best gospel of all is the personal, every-day ��������� religion of a teacher's life and character. <��������� Kegarding women as teachers, he believes that Ihey are a shining success with young pupils, bui' fundamentally '���������. lacking, the gift necessary to enforce discipline among boys abovo the elementary forms.

All to bo made of leather, the bodies of the bandoliers of split cowhide, the pouches -if bridle leather. V The new bandolier is a collection of small pouches fastened upon a'wide ritrap. Tho ninety-round variety has a curious double buckle to rest on tlio soldier's shoulder and to carry the steadying stfai'- The pouches are sman,v und carry ten rounds of tin*-. munition.

The extra pouches are of tho some type as; those lor the bandoliers, except those to carry iiftcen rounds, *iVhich. are to 'have no leathern tongue. V* ;; This typo'of bandolier resembles that which was employed, by the Boors. Tlie'old type of bandolier, used by English noldiers in tlie war was mado of webbing,' and carried cartridges horizontally packed in separate divisions. It was found; to- be useless, as it worked looso and lost ammunition. Then a long flap was added,'.which, fastened, kept the cartridges in their places, but was useless, too, for the buttons did not hold the flap. Then came bandoliers .of. the old'type* with flaps for every ten, six, live, or four cartridges. Those with flaps for five were useful. Three weeks a,go split cowhide began to go up in price, rising one penny per pound. STATESMAN'S PATHETIC DEATH, rnfttug of H������n. Duncan ("ilUoa, Spsaltnr of Vlcluriau I'nrllamsnr.

Monday brought a calmer view of the situation ag-aiu, and during this week to date there has been little change in prices, und indeed if it were not for tho nervous situation caused by the uncertainty of eastern developments prices would easily sell off somewhat. While there is not much change in the northwest spring wheat situation," it being about as bulljsh as previously, it is beginning to be more generally recognized that the world's wheat situation may become much less bullish, owing to the immense crop harvesting in Australia and Argentina und the generally good prospects ������oi the winter crop for next year. The movement, of wheat in tho United States is now larger than at samo time last year, showi'*������ that .farmers are sell-- in-g freely. Tlie world's shipments, which were expected to fall off about now are about as large as previously, u-ncl are running one-third larger than last year, givinp: Europe ample supplies. The tveather in Argentina continues somewhat unsettled, but harvest progresses and there is 110 word of serious damage. Manitoba wheat is dull but steady.

Now that hostilities have commenced between Russia and Japan, we are all curious to obtain an insight into, or an idea of Russian life. Russian novels are most eagerly read now, and not altogether for entertainment, but out of curiosity. They seem to open out to us .V" a world hitherto unknown ; they introduce us to strange life and manners. To some readers they are depressing, but to others they give pleasure, although a hopeless fatalism pervades them. Russian life is depicted to the letter, studies of real life, descriptions of dress, home farms, &cV The glimpse we get of the nobility is most debased, the people 'seem to most of us to be the most disagreeable on earth, and Jife in Russia, in any social grade, would have fewer ..attractions than anywhere elee. The machinery of the government is cumbrous in the extreme, imperfect, save as regards the central motive of autocracy which directs the wholfe kinship and ties of blood, which are peculiarly Hitr^g"in~R"UsSi'a7"yierd"preference to~ the rights accorded to useful work in all questions of distribution of property. Their regard for the greatest of christian virtues is aptly illustrated by a legend, quoted by Stepniak. St. Gassian and St. Nicholas appeared before the Lord, the one clean and in decent apparel, the other dirty, with torn,, mud- besmeared clothes. "What hast thou seen on earth?" asked our Lord, of St. Ca8sian. "I have seen a peasant with his cart upset, floundering in a ditch by the roadside," replied St. Cassian. "Why didst thou not help him out?" -* Because I was coming into Thy presence, and feared to soil my dress." Of St. Nicholas the Lord asked, "Why comest thou thus filthy and begrimed into my presence?" "Because," replied he, " I was following St. Cassian, and seeing the peasant of whom he spake, I helped him out of the ditch." "It is well," said the Lord. ���������'Because thou, Ca.-siun, hast cared ho much about thy dress and so little for thy brother, I will give thee a name's day but once in four yours; but thou, Nicholas, because thou acted as thou didst, thou shalt have a name's-day four times in every year." And thus it happens that St. Oaseian's Day falls on the 29th of Fobruary, ovory leap year, while St. Nicholas' Day oomoB every quart or. DEATH.

Victoria, Feb. 29���������Another marine disaster has been added to the swelled list for this season. Victoria, Feb. 28���������Steamer Queen from San Francisco put into Port Townsend at ten o'clock this morning She caught fire at sea and fourteen lives were lost. The steamer's stern wae all burned awny, but rest of Bhip intact. The Queen had reached a point fifty miles south of Columbia River when fire was discovered about four o'clock Saturday, cause is not known. It originated ih the dining hall aft, and only the coolness of the officers prevented a panic. The passengers had come forth in their night clothes. The vessel appeared to be doomed, and Captain Cousins launched four of the life boats. One of these capsized drowning four of the crew. The other got away but one foundered in a heavy ���������"Sta,drowning.five.' As soon as fire was out boats returned to.'steamer.��������� She reached Port Townsend Sun. day morning. The aft part of vessel is gutted, damage being $40,- 000. Marine men are amazed that the fire was put out. The woodwork for fifty feet from stern is burned while the iron work is twisted entirely out of phape. The Queen had 175 passengers and 78 of crew. The steamer was headed into the wind while the fire was foimht. Second f-ngineer and first officer took charge of two lines of lioi-e while engineers kept pumps going. So intense was heat that for part of the time it was necessary to be swathed in wet cloths The' vessel obeyed the helm throughput al- i hough tiller roper were at white heat at times. So intense was heat that great steelbeamt were bent in all shapes. The steamer proceeded under her own steam, reaching Port Townsend at ten Sunday morning. Russians' plan of campaign contemplates the relief of the Russian troops without opposing the Japanese landing and when sufficient reinforcement** arrive the offensive will be taken and Port Arthur will be relieved.
