The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

WHO"ARE���������"'THE COSSACKS? In English ears there is, somehow, a flavor, of romance about the Cr.s- s.icks. One, has seen pictures of them charging wildly through streets (!!���������������������������. rsing thi'-ngs of panic stric'-cn peasants- Horses and riders both have seemed ' to flash, from their eyes the thirst of Wood and inehas wondered vaguely, who, are these warriors ami why ,.are they privileged, in \hsi twentieth century to enjoy all the w Kl delights of vndiscriniiinatc slaughter which belonged more or less honorably to Crusaders in. thc Dark Ages. Well, as a matter of fact, there is a good deal of the old Crusader spir- 't in the Cossacks, the spirit which keeps a man alive to fight and nothing else. They are by no means o; the same breed today, though, in the face ofthe newspapers, it is difficult to believe otherwise, but there ' is,'.io lack of it in their history. Their name is of Turkish, origin, signifying , freebooter, adventurer, gucfriHa, and accoeding to some authorities they are ; themselves of Turkish ancestry. Proh(rib!y. however. the chief srtain wws Russian and a considerable admixture of alien blood gave thorn'-an ' enterprising restlessness which tre pure Russians lack. , The Cossacks number sr'm-ething over two millions, and about half of them are women. The domestic! side of the community, the side of w-hU'V the newspaper reader in Engl..i.:! knows practically nothing, is, in fact, quite its (iicst feature.. The whole Cobs'-acl". race is divided territorially into ten divisions, or voiskos, which retain t'ne convmunis- the habits.of early times modified,by recent improvements. Each of thc voiskos is subdivided into slansistas, or villages winch are nrerncd by assemblies elected in a prorcrtion of one representative to each ten householders. Every village owns its land in common, and an income is generally drawn from the letting of it to holders, who need not be Cossacks, though they must not fcc Jews. Other sources of income arc special trade patents, rights in fisheries, and ���������ioid digging, these and the land being granted. as in our own feudal times, in return for military service.

Mr. Gilsoir Vyjllets says: An editor; telephoned mc- on Thur s- day: '-'Can you sail with me Saturday for ���"' Europe?" "Yes'" Then meet me on the ship, for I have no timeUo see you before sailing." As i the ship steamed down New York hay,'I'asked;' "Why aie we going lo Europe?'' "I want you," was the answer, '-'to pet facts m Ueilm, Si.

" That year I crossed the Atlantic !si.v times, making' ilnee round tups, for besides'the trip to get the ma ten'al for the "Commercial Invasion" articles, I made separate tiips through .'the ���' poorest counuy of Erin's Isle, mostly in carts, to write "The Depopulation ol" Ireland" and through the slumber land of Alfonso. XIII. to' write "Amencans Now Welcome in Spam." Monroua was named after tho celebrated incident of the United Stat-'\ es, Mnnroe, who is responsible for tlut doctime winch inhibits ,any European natron'fiom further conquests irr the new world.' The capital of. Liberia is divided into two 1 arts, the low and .shoreward sections being given over to large settle;lents of Kru boys and indigenous nej. rocs, while the upper part of the to\/n is composed of broad grass-grown, streets and substantial, v/ell-buiLt) comely looking nouses, churches, offi- tcs and public buildings.
