Fire Brigade Do More Good Work
About midnight last Friday the} Heichen Fire Brigade distinguished themselves by quick, hard and efficient work. About that time The Hub bowling alley was closing up and when the few remaining | players left. they noticed a blaze | coming from a small building be- longing to A. R. Yates, located at the further end of his lot on which his drug store stands, occupied as a store room and at times as a stable. | The alarm was at once sent in_ over | the new telephone line and in a} very short time the brigade had the) first chemical engine on hand, and} successfully distinguished the blaze to the astonishment of many of} tose present. When the fire was discovered the | entire building-appeare | to be on} fire and the flames were bursting | out of the windows and roof making a great illumination. Jas. Dillon and Wm.

When the spring wheat of 1908 came into market, this recent importation stunned his neighbors and startled the continent hy delivering wheat that graded extra number one northern at Fort William, and brought $1.01 a bus- hel, a half cent over the highest Winnipeg quotation of the season. He had raised the finest wheat ever grown in North America, if not in the world, and never knew it until

Life there is very comfortable to a man in a good way. I asked him why he had come over.
** Political and religious bigotry on one hand and the autocratic atti- tude of the capitalists on the other, was the reason stated. Get a reason like that out of any other but an Irishman, if you can.
It was good to look at him. <A tine upstanding man, young for his | years, clear-eyed and high-nosed, as healthy as health—with a dia- mond collar button and no collar.

HOUSE OF LORDS RENOUNCES RIGHT TO LEGISLATE
Pass a Resolution to the Effect that
Vote in the House of Lords—A few of the Old Guard Make Strenuous Opposition to Passing of Resolution
London.—By a vote of 175 to 17 the; house of lorus renounced the heredi tury right to legislite, which has been the carainal element of the British: upper house for centuries, The oc} cusion of the fate of the usual division was Rosebery’s third resolut.on deal- ing with the reform of the house, The house agreed without opposition that} reform of the constitution was neces-| sary. * Atl
‘ne complimentary resoluti:n which! yassed was: “Lihat the necessary pre- iminary to such reform is acceptance of the principle that Werccr it of thet peerage no longer itself gives the right to sit and vote in the house of lords.’
The resolution indeed might have been carried unanimously but for the resolute pugnacity of two tenacious) old fighters, Earl Halsbury and Earl Wemyss, the latter of whom has been actively identified for many | years with military affairs and who is still virile despite his 92 years, Earl} Halsbury is young and strenuous at} 85, und he lately voluntarily returned to the judicial bench to relieve a sick judge. |
These two champions led the old) guard. Some spe: kors who support. | ed the resolution could not find in it any negation of the hereditary prin- ciple. Among those was the Marquis} of Lansdowne, who pointed out to the house it was oust ble to vote for the resolution full of the intention of pro- posing afterward that the house should consist entirely of hereditary peers.
The resolution, he said, was a nec- essary gate to three main principles, namely: The removal of black sheep, | reduction of numbers and a remedy for disparity in party strength.
The Earl of Bathurst, one of the old guard, gave the house a good laugh,} solemnly warning the members if they
threw away their hereditary right their descendants to the third and fourth generations might turn and
rend them.
Members of the government among the peers refused to give more than a platonic approval of the resolution, | to which, the lord chancellor said, | they ought. not to aitach fictitious im-| portance, Nevertheless he (Earl Crewe), Viscount Morely and other Liberal peers voted with the majerity.

Almost all of the cabinet ministers are in town, und those seen by correspondents were in a cheerful mood, when the Washing- ton conference was referred to, It-is' expected here that Mr. Fielding will make concessions on several articles! which enjoy the intermediate tariff under the Franco Trade treaty.

Why Britain Cannot Stand Wi.h U. 8S. London,—Sir Edward Grey, foreign
secretary, explained in the house of
commons that the British government
)was unable to support actively the | United States government in its Chin ;Chow-Aigun railroud plan, because of
the provisions of the Anglo-Russian agreement of 1899, which has never heen formally abrogated. The foreign secretary added:
“To interpret this attitude es run- ning counter to American and British commercial interests is an entire mis- representation, ‘The United States yovernment has been kept fully in- formed of this government's views and of the view of the Anglo-Russian gov- ernment avreement, upon. which they ure based,”
Sore at Britain
Liverpool.—The Post says: “There is some soreness among big game shots over the Roosevelt expedition.
“They are asking why the British government should have afforded spec- ial facilities to the expedition which has resulted in the acqvisition b America of very rare specimens which un to now are conspicuors ‘by their absence from museums in England and as yet has denied the privilege of shooting over these pres:rves to Eng- lishmen,."’
Lesson from Colonies
London.—Pember Reeves, discussing the second chambers in the empire, said the colonies had taught Britain the lesson to have nothing to do with second chambers on a life baris. Al- though the upper house in Canada was appaintad for life it had not often been because the lower house is somewhat
inconservative, and it had not intro-!
duced drastic social reforms, penal taxation or other novel experiments.

THE GLEICHEN CALL.
Survey Parties North of Lac la Biche Working on Location of Road Have Been Called In
Edmonton, Alta.—Work on the loca- tion of the Alberta & Great Water- ways railway has practically ceased, and all plans for the carrying forward of coustruction beyond the first fifty miles of the road north of Edmonton have been abandoned, pending completion of the investigation into the Great Waterways.
Survey parties who had been work- ing on the location of the road north of Lac la Biche, and who have been called in, partly for the reason, it is said, that supplies had given out, and
mainly for the reason that work was!
to be suspended, reached the city, and it is understood that all survey par- ties on the line are to be called in.
Construction is to proceed, however, upon the first fifty miles of road north of Edmonton, and contracts have been awarded for clearing of rig'.t of way. This work is being proceeded with.
Another official has reached the city to become a member of the Great Waterways staff. This is H. Lums- den, formerly of the engineering staff of the Manitoba government, and father of the former chief engineer of the Grand Trunk Pacific, over whose resignation from that company an in- vestigation is now being held at Ot- tawa,
Mr. Lumsden, it is understood, will be connected with the construction de- partment of the Great Waterways in conjunction with F. 8, Darling, for- merly of the C. P. R., who is to have Shatge of construction on the new road,

SCOTT'S FRIENDS, MacGunn's Book Bring
Many New Stories.
Of the making of books about Scott there is no end. Since Lockhart pub- lished his monumental biography the output has been enormous. Apart
Mrs. Out
from purely critical estimates there |
has bgen quite a deluge of literature
dealing with the many-sided per- sonality of Scott. And now comes Mrs. Florence MacCunn with ‘Sir
Waiter Scott’s Friends’’ (Blackwood and Son), a contribution which will take a permanent pluce in Scott lit- erature,
‘the work, which must have been a labor of love, is no piece of book- making. It is a genuine literature. Nothing would have been easier than with paste or scissors to collect and
ut together scraps of reminiscences tom odd corners relating to Scott, but Mrs. MacCunn had an infinitely higher conception of her task than that. She has gone to original re- cords, which she studied so long and lovingly that the book breathes the very atinosphere of the Scott period.
To understand the relations be- tween Scott and his friends we must. note the characteristics of the period. istrac- tions of the preceding centuries, and the comparative poverty of the coun- try gave to the society of the eigh- teenth century a peculiar stamp.
Contact with the literature of Eng- land and France gave the higher classes a distaste for the narrow re- ligiosity of their native land. This distaste did not take the form of scep- ticism. Fundamental religious beliefs were not, as a rule, called_in ques- tion, but they were held with no great fervor; indeed, in practical life they were replaced by a working creed not unlike Stoicistn.
The spiritual raptures and the de- votional intensity which character. ized the men and women of the evan. gelical period were absent, and their pare was taken by a spirit of social. ty tempered with resignation. To these must be added two elemente noted by Mrs. MacCunn, “the pover- ty which scattered families east and west in pursuit of fortune, and the strong family ties which bound the most distant kinsfolk in the bonds of mutual service.”
Among the old ladies whom Scott numbered among his friends we find the social, the stoical, and the clan- nish elements highly developed. Though living in a narrow environ: ment, they breathed the atmosphere of romance. They were great story- tellers and dealt much in omens, superstitions, family traditions, and family tragedies. well had Scott assimilated the conversations of his friends that when the Waverley No- vels appeared the old ladies had no doubt of the authorship.
One of them, Mrs. Keith, detected in them stories she had told Scott. She used to say: ‘Should I no’ ken my ain groats in anither man’s kail?” The equality of sociability was high: ly developed in Scott, and it is, there- fore, little wonder that he found him- self in his element in Edinburgh,
‘which still in his time re@ained ite
sition as the centre of light and eading.
Law, literature, and the Church at- tracted brilliant young men, and among them Scott found congenial

A Bull on the Loose.
The cantrips of a self-willed bull, which was bent upon having its own way in opposition to the will of the drover, caused some amusement in a central thoroughfare in Dundee, Scot- land, recently. The animal was be- ing driven to the cattle market, and was evidently determined to have one glorious hour of life before quitting this world. Just as it neared a well- known public-house the bull made a sudden dash for the entrance to the house of call, and, forcing open the swing doors, burst in upon the aston- ished waiters. He certainly was not were ac- customed to deal with, and they were at a loss as to how to please him. Ultimately, however, by means of
mtle suasion they managed to get
im outside the door, and it is a significant fact that almost immedi- ately upon regaining the street the animal collapsed, and could not be induced to get to his feet. A float had to be requisitioned, and in it he was carried without further mis- hap to his destination.
Forgetting His Own Picture.
Reynolds once forgot the existence of one of his pictures. Burke once obtained a very early work and call- ed on the great artist, submitting the work as that of a young student who ky advice from the master. Rey- nolds had a long look and then asked, “Is the painter a friend of yours?”
Burke replied in the affirmative.
“Well,” replied the great man, “I really don't feel able to give an opin- ion, It’s a cleverish thing, but whe- ther it is of sufficient promise to jus- tify the young man in adopting art as a profession I cannot say.”

I pretended I was collecting ceat-off things for the heathen.”
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON 1.—SECOND QUARTER,
FOR APRIL 3, 1910
| Text of the Lesson, Matt. ix, 18-34, Memory Verses, 28, 29—Golden Text, Mark ix, 23—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
This lesson gives an account of four different acts of healing upon five dif- ferent people—the ruler’s daughter, twelve years of age; the woman twelve years sick, the two blind men and the demon possessed dumb man, Matthew, Mark and Luke record the first two, but Matthew alone tells of the others. All are equally easy to Him to whom nothing is diiticult when there is confi- The principle of verse 29 holds all through, ‘According to heaven again draweth nigh. May we, must always remember that these were samples of the kingdom which was then at hand, but because of His rejection postponed till He shall come again. As I understand it, we cannot expect kingdom manifestations in this age of His rejection except as He may in great grace see fit to grant them. But as the age draws to a close, which it is rapidly doing, we may look for greater signs as the kingdom of heaven again draweth night. May we, like Stephen, be full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, full of faith and power.
The other accounts of tlie first two jhealings are found in Mark v and Luke viii. There we are told that the man’s name was Jarius; that he was ja tuler of the synagogue; that he fell down at Jesus’ feet and besought Him ereatly, for his little daughter wis lying at the point of death, and she was his only daughter. Jesus arose and followed Jairus, and so did His lisciples, and much people also fol- lowed Him and thronged Him, Con- sider the anxiety of the father’s heart and his expectation, for, elthough he had not heard the words ‘“T will come and heal her’ (vii, 7). was not the Tord Jesus Christ with him, and was not that assurance enough for Jairus?
But in the throng that pressed upon Him there was one desolate heart—a woman who had been ailing for twelve
ears and, having spent all that she had upon physicians, was nothing bet- tered, but rather grew worse. She, having heard of Jesus, had such confi- dence in Him that she ssid within her- self, ‘If I mav touch but His clothes T shall be whole. She accordingly pressed through the crowd behind Him, touched the border of His gar- ment and was instantly healed of her illness of many years.
Most gratefully and gladly would she have slipped away without trou- bling Him further, but He had more for her than she had dared, to expect. He had a personal word for her heart full of peace and assurance. Before she could get away Jesus, knowing all things, asked who touched Him, for he knew that virtue had gone out of Him, The disciples were surprised at His
uestion, seeing so many,touching
im, but the woman came with fear and trembling, fell down before Him and before aH the people declared why she had touched Him and how she had been immediatély healed. Then came to her the added unexpected blessing in His precious words to: her heart; “Daughter, be of good. comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace and be whole of thy plague.” Instead of the unrest she might: have had because she had, as it were, stolen n blessing, she had His own word of “peace.”’ Then she might ‘have had some symptoms of a recurrence of her trouble, and the devil would be sure to be on hand with some unrestful suggestions, but now she had not only an experience, but His infallible word that she was healed, and had He not called her “cauchter.” and wasn’t that worth while? Let all seerot believers confess Jesus Christ publicly and see, what additional blessing will surely come to them,
But ell this delay hrs seemingly made Him too late to help the little tirl, for before He reaches the house messengers come, saying that she is dead. As soon as Jesus heard it He suid to Jairus, ‘Fear not, believe only, and she shall be made whole’ (Luke xii, 50). And quickly it is even so and she is alive and well and eating like any well child. Only the father and the mother and Peter, James and John were present at the raising to life— just seven, including Jesus and the little girl, the unbelieving scorners all without, Let us be ‘“‘most surely be- lievers, knowing the certainty” of all His words (Luke i, 1-4). He is never too lute, and nothing is too hard for Him who created all things.
Two blind men follow Him into the next house, into which He enters, bog- ting Him to have mercy on them, His one question was, “Believe ye that I um able to do this?’ Their affirma- ive Ply brings His “According to vour faith be it unto you,” then His touch, and they see like other men; et, unlike many, they see Jesus, their nealer, and start forth to spread abroaé His fame. .
The next case is a dumb demon pos- sessed man, and by a word he is heal- 1d, No wonder that the multitudes siid, “It was never so seen in Israel.” for one like this had never been seen before. Whether we touch Him or He touches us or speaks the word, His nower_is manifest. Many we all touch Him in the consciousness of our help- lessness and need, as the long suffer- ing woman did, and not indifferently, like the crowd,

dence in Him.

Must Have Husbands
A Washington dispatch states that Speaker Cannon recently received the following letter from Cleveland:
Our beaux cannot marry we girls be- cause all foods and olathing is too high. What good is us girls if we don’t have husbands? Why don’t you make congress provide husbands for us? You will do the country more good by seeing that all the young peo- ple are married, If all the young peo- ple are married, we would not need any congress or president. This world would then be a paradise. We must have husbands, Get some for us,

Experimenting Cost $100 $1.00 Paid for the Cure
Rheumatism disappeared when the poisons were removed from the system by DR. CHASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS, .
Experiments are sometimes neces- sary and ulmost aways expensive. It is unusually wise to let others do the experimenting and profit by their ex- perience,
When it is a matter of regul ting the liver, kidneys and bowels and driv- .ing out of the system the poisons which cause rheumatism, backache, lumbago and other pains and achas, experience has proven that Dr. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills are the most effective treatment available,
They are different from ordinary kidney me¢jcines in that they regulate the liver Ma howels, o8 well as the kidneys, and in this way get at the very source of the trouble.
Let others experiment if they will. This letter shows what experimenting | cost one man, and many have had somewhat similar experience.
Mr. James Clarke, Maidstone, Sask., writes: “I have great pleasure in testi- fying to the good results I have ob- tuined by using Dr, Chase’s Kidney }and Liver Pills. For four years I suf-
|fered from Rheumatism in my_shoul-
ders and back and could not lift my arms above my head. I tried nearly all the remedies. Lots of them were to be sure cures, but none of them gave me relief.
“T was then persuaded to use Dr. Chase’s Kidney and Liver Pills and soon found relief. By following up this treatment a thorough cure was brought about and for six months I have been free from rheumatism. It cost me at least one hundred dollars in experimenting before using Dr. Chase’s Kidney and Liver Pills, which cured me at the cost of 25 cents a DOX,

In which I have had a large ex-| ttre other than what came from the
sky. Though the Buckley farm is in the three-million acre block irri- gated from the Bow River, that par- ticular field was not served from his lateral. It was for dry-grown wheat that he won first prize at the trans- Missouri dry-farming exhibition held last autumn in Cheyenne. But it took first. award over all other wheat at the Gleichen fair last season. At the Alberta pro- vincial exhibition held in Calgary it was awarded the silver champion- ship medal and a cash prize of fifty dollars; It has been exhibited in Europe at various places, and at the Seattle fair, and everywhere with first honors.
But Mr Buckley is warm on the subject of irrigation, and has his own method of applying the water for winter wheat.
When John Dunphy had the contract te build Saint Colombkill’s church he watched one of the masons’ helpers grooving a stone that was to be split and running water into thegroove. He wonder- ed whether the old man knew the meaning of what he was doing, and he asked ;
** What good does the water do, Malachi ?”’
a Is it the shtone, sir ?’’
It is.’’
‘Tt makes it saft an’ aisy.’?
Which threw a glint of imagina- tive understanding upon an obscure principle. Mr Buckley brought it to mind, speaking of wheat under artificial watering :
““When I broke the prairie on this sixty’’ (the field we were! crossing) ‘‘ in June, with the object of sowing it in winter wheat, I let the water on the sod to make it plow easier and rot quicker. -After discing and harrowing well, I let the water in again, and as soon as the surface was dry enough, about the first of September. I sowed my wheat, a bushel to the acre. After that I left it untouched. The large supply of moisture held the frost in the ground arid “kept buck — the growth until the spring was well- advanced, avoiding the effect of an unseasonably warm week or 80 in the earlier months, when the young shoots might have come up to be caught by the last frosta.
*T really can’t say where I got the idea. I think it was in hearing of such a process being applied to fruit or young trees, but I am not sure. I’m always asking for infor- mation at the demonstration farms and of any neighbors who have had experience in these lines.’
The whole of the Buckley 320 acres is not given over to wheat,nor is himself so puffed with pride that his mind has no room for thought of other things. For a born cattle- trader he is making a first-class farmer in record time. It’s a way
| the Irish have, when they get out.
of Ireland; and western Canada favors the spirit of experiment and enterprise. He has gone in for di- versified farming.
Last winter he sold a carload of ovts at Winnipeg that graded ‘*ex- tra number one Canadian western,’’ the ‘ighest grade possible. At the Glichen fair held last August he got first award for oats, cucumbers, tuble beets and lettuce. He has found profit in cattle and hogs.
‘The cattle run on unbroken laid and thrive very well all the year round without any housing in tic winter,’”? he says, ‘‘and the hys run on the stubble or during the growing season they are fed in Pens on the course grain and other teed. ‘This is an ideal country, too for potato growing, dairying and pou'try.’’ He 1] as them all.
The case is exceptional only in hardihood, intelligence and energy of the man, in his — read- iness to take a chance, and his alert shrewdness in making the hest of it. Many a city man is making good in the west; very many of them in that same neighborhood, but natureis so kindly there, the soil is so fruitful and the clements 8> full of favor, that what would be difficult elsewhere comes easily, and prosperity is on the knees of the gods for all who will pay to fortune the courtship of mere industry. Mr. Buckley has won handsomely. It is} no derogation of him to say his” winning has cometo him in a land of great rewards, where all may do as well, with the same will to do and the same diligence in effort.

“Why The Farmer Has it Easy
A Gleichen farmer, serving os 0 witness recently, stood in the hall-| way of the Calgary Criminal C ial building stretching and yawning, and complaining about not getting | enough exercise out on the farm.
You fellows around the city do a Jot of walking and shifting about,’ the farmer commented to a city man.
‘When I was on the ploughing and cultivating the soil T had no complaint to make about not getting enough exercise,’? was the suggestive comment of the city nan,
‘You lived away back there at a time when a man followed a plough and lifted it around at the end of the furrows, after having carried it to the field on his back, and such things, ” the farmer explained.
‘We ride and plough these days, you know. ’Most everything else is done by machinery. Why we have to construct 2 gymnasium on the farm to get a little exercise when we get up in the mornings and before we go to bed at night.’’
Then he stretched and yawned again, while the city man kicked bimself—metaphorically—for — hav-

@MLY OUR PRODUCTS BEAR THIS
Their Origin The twenty-one wholesale drug firms now united im the ‘‘National’’ had all of them lengthy careers, sonie for fifty to one hundred years, prior to the union, Each firmy had acquired or developed a number of valuable tormul fur medicinal and toilet preparations, all of which became the property of the ‘‘National’’, Since the union our expert chemists have carefully one over these formule and selected the best for the ‘A-DRU-CO line, Evefy formula has been carefull studied by these experts, improved if possible, an then tho hly tested again, in actual use, before er, it good enough to bear the NA-DRU-CO
An Example
A good example of what we mean is NA-DRU-CO Nervozone for Brain Fag or nervous break-down. The formula was pronounced the most scientific com- bination of nerve medicines, but this was enough for us; we had it tried out with a dozen different kind of Brain workers — School Teachers, Lawyers, Book- ke. pers—as well as Society leaders and hoite workers, and everywhere the result was so good that we adopted it as one of the best of the NA-DRU-CO line,
Trade Blark.
There are therefore no experiments among NA-DRU-CO preparations. We have invested alto- ether too much time, work and money in the fA-DRU-CO line to take any chances of discrediting it with preparations that might not prove satisfactory, We make absolutely certain that ea h preparation is satisfactory before we endorse it with the NA-DRU-CO Trade Mark,
Ask your physician or your druggist about the firm behind NA-DRU-CO prcparations and about the NA-DRU-CO line, They can tell you, for we will furnish them, on request, a full list of the ingredients in any NA-DRU-CO article.
“Money Back”
If by any chance you should not be entirely satisfied with any NA-DRU-CO article you try, return the unused Rartlon to the druggist from pe you bought it and he will refund your money—willingly, too, because we return to him every cent he gives Lack to you. C)

“All right, cubby,” he sald, with pa- cite purpose; “you'll get your fare in | bulf a shake.”

The bobby strolled veurer, |
“Yes?” suld Kirkwood, mildly divert- ed, “Why uot. siug It, cabby 7”
“Lor jumme!” The cabby exploded With tudiguation, continuing to give a lifelike imitation of a rumpled parrot “Tad trouble enough wif you at Ber- mondsey Ol’ Stuirs bover that quid you promised, didu't 1Y Sing it! My | heye!”

A clerk helped him identify the arti- cles and ultimately clucked with a per- functory note, “Sixpence each, please.”
“I—ub—purdon?"
“Sixpence each, the fixed charge, sir For every twenty-four hours or frac- tion thereof, sixpence per purcel.”
“Oh, thank you so much,” sald Kirk-
wood sweetly, “I will call tomorrow.” | “Very good, sir, Thank you, sir,” ; “Five thnes sixpence is two und six,” Kirkwood computed, making tils way hustily out of the station lest a worse | thing befall him. “No, bless your heart—vot while two and eight repre- | sents the sum total of my fortune,”
He wandered out into the night. He could uot luger round the station till duwn, aud whut profit to him if he didy Even were he to rausom bis truuks one can scarcely chuuge one's clothing tn a public waiting room,
Somewhere in the distance a great clock chimed a single stroke freighted sore with melancholy, It kuelled the pussing of the half bour after mid

He nodded to the bobhy, who, favor ably impressed by Kirkwood, sentled at the cubby a cold, hurd smile whereupon the latter, sinirking in un- abashed triumph spat on the pave ment at Kirkwood's feet, gathered up the reins and wheeled out
Restoring 2 shillings and a few fat ¢vopper pennies to his pocket, he entered the vast and echoing train shed. In the act his attention was attra¢ted and {minediately rivetec by the spectacle of a burly luggage navvy in a blue jumper Ip the uct of making off with ao large folding signboard, of which the surface was lettered ex- pansively with the advice, in red } against a white background, “Bont Train Leaves on Track 3.”
Excitedly Kirkwocd touched the man's arm with a detaining hand “Boat train?’ be gasped, pointing at the hon

“Well, but— Of course I can get another train at Tilbury?"
“For yer boat? No, sir, thank you, tir. “Wen't be another tryne til! morn. in’, sir.”

Almlessly Kirkwood drifted away his mind a blank.
Some time later he found himself on the steps outside the station, trying to stare out of countenance a glaring | electric mineral water advertisement | on the farther side of the Euston round
He was stranded.

And that was all, At some time dur fg the night he bad logt (or been cun- ningly bereft of?) that little purse of ebumols skin containing the three gold: | eb sovereigns which be bad been hus banding to pay his steamer expenses and which, if only he bad them now,

But at the moment his hand was in his change pocket, feeling over that same brass door key which earlier he hud been unable to account for, and be was Iuforming himself bow very | easy it would bave been for the sov- | erelgn purse to have dropped from his waistcoat pocket while he was sliding jon his eur down the dark staircase To recover it meant, at the least, shel: ter for the night, followed by a decent, comfortable and sustaining morning meal. Fortified by both he could re- deem his luggage, change to clothing more suitable fur daylight traveling pawn his valuables and enter into nego tiations with the steamship company \ for permission to exchange his pas- { suge, with a sum to boot, for trans. portation on another liner—a most feasible project, a temptation all but irresistible! ;
But then—the risk. Supposing, for
the sake of argument. the customar- night watchman to have taken up a
transient residence in No. 9, gup posing the police to have entered with him and found the stunned man on the second floor, would the watchman hot be vigilant for another nocturnal maruuder—would pot the police ouw, more than ever, be keeping a wary eye on that house of suspicious bappen- lugs?
Decidedly to re-enter it would be to incur a deadly risk, And yet undoubt- edly, beyond question, his sovereign purse was waiting for him somewhere on the second fight of stairs, while hig means of clandestine. entry lay warm in his fingera—the key to the dark entry, which he bad by force of hubit pocketed after locking the door on leaving the house with Dorothy.

SETTLERS’ HOMES.
Quaint Little Places Growing Around Montreal.
Up
Early as it is in the year, one may |
see processions of immigrants pass- ing through the city of Montreal— the men with bundles on their backs, the women following with the chil- dren.
In_ the immigrant quarters of the C.P.R. they huddle, while the trains which are to bring them to the North West are being made up; but many Russians, Roumanians, Austrians, Italians and Swedes, remain in the
city.
The increase of big industries both in the city and along the canal bank, makes employment for the strangers possible, fan cannot offer skilled labor, but the. in forms of work which need strength and endurance, the strangers excel. This is especially noticeable with the Russians—grest big, patient fellows, who talk little, do as they are told,
and work for small wages—so long |
as they are unorganized.
These strangers soon find employ- ment at the Angus shops, the tae motive Works, at Longue Pointe; the Canada Car Co., Dominion Car and Foundry Co., the Allis-Chalmers- Bullock Co., or in any of the half
dozen or more big machine shops in |

$5,000 A YEAR FROM 00G. Black Canaries and Blue Bulldogs Are Also Costly Pets.
A newspaperman dropped into the Agricultural Hall, London, the other day, bent on selecting a good, cheap house dog from amongst the 3,500 ex- hibited. But the price of dog-flesh there would have brought tears to the eyes of the wealthiest Chinese man- darin, There was a good selection of breeds valued at $250 to $2,600 each,
a few trifles at $6,000, and a beautiful specimen of a Pekingese, reclining on
|a cushion of yellow satin, for which
five thousand guineas had been refus- ed by its owner.
This tiny animal, which could eas- ily be held in one hand, is the most famous dog of any breed in the world. Chu-erh is its name. It has won cham- pionships, cups, and medals galore, and earns an income of $5,000 a year in fees and prizes, Judges claim him to be perfect in all points. He feeds
‘mainly on minute portions of under-
done beef, with a little fish occasion- illy, and drinks only water. When he is ill he is dieted with chicken jellies, patent foods, and beef-tea.
What would certainly have been the most remarkable exhibits, lowever, remained noticeable by their absence. These were two blue bulldogs, the a perty of a lady dog-fancier residing at Acton. They are probably the only dogs of their kind in existence, and }as the owner considered that the }strain of a three days’ show might | seriously affect their health, she de- | cided that they should stay at home. | They are the progeny of French | black brindles, and their color—the softest Persian blue—is simply a freak of nature. The elder, Halcyon Lady Jane, was born about eighteen months ago, and the other, Halcyon Tumbler, a little less than a year back.
In appearance, except for color, they ra resemble the ordinary French bulldog, standing about eight

that the empioyes shall live in the neighborhood of their work. There results from this heroic and yet piti- ful attempts at home-making in the district, wherever it iu.
Along the banks of the Lachine canal, in Lachine itself, many large industries have been started of recent years,
The employes, or many of them, have managed to buy on the inatal- ment plan, bits of land on which they begin the erection of homes.
To glance at these, the word would seem a misnomer,
In most cases, there is a long wait until the lot is paid for.
After this, there can only be the buying of bits of lumber now and then as means will allow.
The work of construction is mostly done in the early mornings and late avenings by the men themselves.
Any old bit of wood that can be picked up, any piece of tin sheeting —anything that will help to keep out wind or rain—is eagerly requisitioned.
You will see scores of these shacks on the way to Lachine, set down in whet is called a purk—Dominion Park,
They are pitifully small, They seem to make a mockery of the word ‘thome.” Dotted here and there, with- out, as it would seem, any regard for street lines, in the centre of a level plain, they look like the hurried structures of a mining camp or raw settlement.
A stranger going to Montreal on business or pleasure, would get an odd notion of this architectural med- ley, so close to a great metropolitan city.

This peculiar exhibit is the result of a cross between an ordinary wild British goldfinch and a canary. It is as black as a nigger, and shows no trave whatever in its plumage of the color of either of its parents. Twelve months ago a white ¢anary was shown at the Crystal Palace.
In company with the black canary was exhibited alinost every other bird known, from the bird of paradise (val- ued at $6,500) to the parden crow. There was also a white jackdaw, which rivalled the famous “Jackdaw cf Reims” for shrewdness and cunning. It is prob bly the only jack’aw in England which knows the difference between a two-shilling piece and half a crown, for if both coins are held up it always endeavors, to secure the latter.

HOLDING DOWN A HOMESTEAD, How the Land-Seekers In the West
Wait For the Office to Open.
Something new under the sun! surely is, as men from all parts oc we earth silently take their stand side
by side to the number of almost elev- |
en Tah Some are ‘ rok cra securing their footing, holding it day and night. This company is demo- cratic and socialistic by compulsion.
Strange languages intermingle, and stranger bedfellows lie down side by side under the canopy of the sky. So- cial distinctions are lost. The Rua- sian peasant and the son of a lord may chum it, as cheek by jowl they share the same grey Indian blanket. Even sex is no bar to this fellowship for several women and a baby help to swell the ranks of this dauntless though inactive army. The lion and the lamb, so to speak are found among the motley array of fur coats, some bristling with newness and some worn to the skin and through it with years and rubbing up against the rough side of life.
The last afternoon has come. To- morrow morning the doors of the land office will be opened and the crowd will file in, first come, as a rule, first served, All down the ranks they will receive their right to make a piece of prairie their own, It may be the first inch of earth they have ever own- ed. Night and day they have kept hold of their little pre-empted spot, re- lieved in most cases ut times by a friend.
It is said one homesteader, who had no such friend, offered a man a dol- lar to keep his place for him for an When he came back the man refused to either give up the dollar or the place. But such cases are rare,
It is Sunday afternoon. The time drags wearily this January day to the close ranks of men jammed together with their backs against Father van Feighem’s old picket fence which en- closes precious trees, fruit and ever-
reens, the pioneers of this once lone- ly, mud-swept prairie.
As darkness comes down — and comes early—the lights from lanterns which some have set in long boxes, serve to keep the feet warm, and the constant lighting of pipes makes the long line twinkle and look like an immense glow worm or a string of fire-flies and here and there are shown up the faces of the men who almost surround a_ block. But the long, heavy evening has a pleasant break, of the Salvation Army | drum is heard, and the men “‘sit up and take notice.’ Many of them are attentive as they hear repeated: ,“‘Laxy | not up for yourselves treasures on | earth, where moth and rust doth cor- | rupt and where thieves break through and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven. For where your | treasure is, there will your heart be also.” To some the words have a fa- méliar sound, to some they are un- known, and to others they are with- out meaning, for the words are in a strange tongue. But as the band | plays a good many join in singing the old, familiar hymns; it may be in | some instances both the words and music are of home manufacture, but | a big volume of sound goes up on the night wind. At last the band | moves off and only a few passers-by disturb the quiet which has settled down on the weary waiters. One of , these comes to a group of men with a little flag stuck into the cage in front of them. ‘What flag have you got here?” he enquires.
“The Stars and Stripes,” is the an- swer.
“That is not allowed here,” he says, and with that takes the ‘fluttering lit- tle “Old Glory” and throws it in the road and passes on laughing, with the °

Midnight comes. The little distrac- ; tions are over. Only the mounted policemen takes a turn to see thet all is orderly. The stories have all been | told and listened to and yawned over, and now—sleep and dreams, perhaps, | of the old home or the homestead that | is to be. Perhaps they see the little shack, their future home, the begin- ning of great things, see it plainly with the smoke curling out of the stove pipe throygh the roof and feel the cheer within.
And so the night passes and the great glowing sun floods the eastern sky and dyes it blood red away ta) the mountains in the west. The day has dawned when each in turn will file in and get his location and right to toil on a bit of this old earth.— Crys Tyne, in Saturday Night.
Counted the Jardinieres.
A d story is told of Senator Jas. McMullen, who when he was a mem- ber of the House of Commons during the long years that the Liberal party was in the shades of opposition, was. one of the most vigilant enemies of the Conservative administration. A party of members the other day were discussing the expenditures on small public works which run into thou- sands of dollars,
“Ah,” said a member from far off British Columbia. ‘I heard Mr. Mc- Mullen take up hours one weary night criticizing an item in the Auditor. General’s report for the purchase of fifty jardinieres for Rideau Hall,
if Why fifty jardinieres—it is mon- strous,’ declared Mr. McMullen.
‘**How do you knowf
“ ‘Why,’ remarked Mr. McMullan with a note of triumph. ‘I was invit- ed to Rideau Hall a few days ago and I counted the jardinieres and I coul not find fifty’.’

[HAS HABIT OF WINNING
tg | "NED" MACDONALD OF PICTOU
FROM A FAMOUS DISTRICT.
'| The Celebrated Scotch Presbyterian
County In Nova Scotia That Has | Exported So Many Notables, Is the | Home of One of the Government's Most Astute Supporters and Defen- ders—Handled Big Cases.
They say that when Ek. M. Macdon- ald, M.P. for Pictou, was a member of the County Council, back in the | early ‘nineties, he used to win a divi- sion from the Conservatives, hand it to a Liberal to hold. and then go and win another and do the same thing. ‘‘Ned”’ has the habit of winning, and has been in public life twenty years, iran he is only 44 years old. He | belongs to Pictou, the most typical
Scotch Presbyterian county in Can-
E M. MACDONALD, M.P.
He attended Pictou Academy, has turned out Sir William
ada. which Dawson, Principal Grant, Principal Gordon, President Falconer. There are more Macdonalds in Pictou than anything else, and for the last fifty years the county has been represent- ed constantly by either a Macdonald or a relativé of one.
“Ned”’ Macdonald took to law and to politics with about equal enthus- iasm. In Nova Scotia he has been connected with many important legal cases since he was called to the Bar Seven years in the County Council and another seven in the Nova Scotia Legislature were good pre- ether for his coming to Ottawa n 1904. His work at Ottawa is not pleasant to his opponents, and in 1908 they put up Mr. Tanner, leader of the Opposition in Nova Scotia, to op- pose him, but in vain. Mr. Macdon- ald is one of the men the Ottawa per the sdk are pleased to designate as “blockers.” This refers to his work as an astute and ever-watchful defen- der of the Government in the public accounts committee. He is too good a lawyer to miss a chance to score on an opponent, and he is not trou- bled with bashfulness when the chance to speak comes. He is a forceful, flu- ent speaker, as was again shown in
| his smashing speech on the navy bill ' recently; a vigorous campaigner, a
hard worker, and altogether one of the most able of the private members of the House.
Invented the Lifeboat.
At this time of the year, when “peril on the sea” is of daily occurrence, it is interesting to know that the grave of Lionel Lukin, the inventor of the lifeboat, has not been allowed to fall into decay. This too often happens when a man’s services to his nation are forgotten, although the good he brought about is still evident.
The grave is in the churchyard of 8t. Leonard’s Parish Church, Hythe, some three miles from busy Folke- stone. The simple story of the inven- tor’s life is told on the tombstone as follows:
“In this grave is interred the body of Lionel Lukin, born at Dunmow, in Essex, the 18th of May, 1742. In 1767 he became a member of the Coach Makers’ Company of London, and af- ter sixty years of various success in that business, settled at Hythe in 1824, with the humble hope that the same Divine Providence which had been his Guide and Protector during a long and checkered life would permit him to conclude it in ease and tranquility, and finally remove him to a better and eternal inheritance, through the merits and intercession of Christ Jesus, our Redeemer. Died the 16th of February, 1834,”
The other side of the headstone reads thus:
“This Lionel Lukin was the first who built a Lifeboat, and was the original inventor of that principle of safety by which many lives and much property have been preserved from shipwreck, and he obtained for it the King’s Patent in the year 1785.”
One of the three great eastern win- dows in the church is also in memory of the humane inventor,
“Grand Old Man of Astronomy."
Although he hus been studying the stars for sixty years, and is now eighty-six years of age, Sir William Huggins, the “Grand Old Man of Astronomy,”’ is still in harness, Every day he works for hours in his laboratory and afterwards in his study, ‘thinking and reading, read: ing and thinking,”’ to quote his own
words. “Life is work and work is life,” is Sir William’s favorite sa,- ing. He ascribes his perfect health
to his temperate habits—he is a non- smoker and almost an abstainer. Smoking, he says, is not beneficial to astronomers, and he tells a story ctf a German astronomer who, secing a mysterious vapour reflected in Sus telescope, thought he had made- a great discovery, until someone point ed out that it was simply the smoke curling up from the astronomer’s favorite pipe,

Southern Alberta Land Co. Making Good Progress,
(Lethbridge Herald)
A. M. Grace, chief engineer of the Southern Alberta Land Co. was in the city yesterdny. - He had just returned from’ an inspection of the work of the contractors on the com- pany’s big irrigation scheme to the north of the city. Phe work is muiking good progress.
There is a big force at the intake dam across the Bow River about 25 miles west of Gleichen, specting that work the other day, Mr Grace counted eleven steam boilers in use by the contractors for their hoisting engines, congrete mixers, pumps, ete. Itis expected that the structures at the intake will be comiplete by June of this year, before the high water comes.
The eanal is practically finished for fifty miles from the intake dam to the northern end of Lake M‘Gre- gor. But water will not be turned in until the dams across both ends of Snake Valley are complete. ‘The contract is let for the necessary flames to the Carter Halls Aldinger Co,, of Winnipeg. The contract for the syphon across the east Ar- rowhead Creek, about twelve miles south of Gleichen,
The siphon will be a wooden pipe with two 74 feet interior diameter wooden stave pipes with capacity of 1240 eubie feet per second,
Contractors are also busy working ut the dam at the north end of Lake M'Gregor and a large force is just ready to start work at the south end, It is expected that all the dams will be finished so that the water can be turned into Lake M‘Gregor the Jatter part of 1910,
This week three survey parties were sent out to complete the sur- veys of the irrigation canals between the south end of Lake M‘Gregor and the tract of land to be irrigated to the north-west of Medicine Hat.
The designs are now being made for the crossing of the Big Bow
tiver north of the Grand Forks. It will probably be one eight feet dia- meter steel siphon, for which the conprate will likely -be let before fall.
Fourteen miles of the heaviest excavation work where. the canal lenves the south end of “hake M‘Gregor and creeps along the big side hill up out of- the valley of the Little Bow, -has been let to the well- known contractors, J.D. M' Arthur and Co,
Mr Grace stated most emphati- cally that during 1910 there will be a great demand for all kinds of labor at these big contracts just forty miles north of Lethbridge and besides from there eastward con- tracts will be stuked out for sixty miles of canal to be completed this year, There will be all kinds of work. Mr Grace said he would be most delighted if there were~ so many men came to Lethbridge that they could not get work, for the contracts on these irrigation works
would require much labor. fan OE ST
