RESIDENTS OF BOTH TOWNS HAPPY
- —~Renders-of-the- MINER ‘Are Awnre Uf tie desire” that existed among the residents of Slav Town for some time past to be incorporated with Coleman, as they were laboring under dissabilities which incorporation alone could remedy.
A petition to that effect was presented to the council, which met with a favorable reception, but could not be acted upon until certain arrangements with the Alberta government were completed. Meanwhile the town council worked steadily on the project and at length were in a position to act, when’ to their surprise they were informed that other proposals were made Slav town through other sources which are attractive though not practical. Mayor Cameron and councillor McDonald interviewed some of the leading citizens of Slav Town and \were informed very frankly who were Slav Town’s new formed friends andtheir promise, also that a meeting of the citizeris was to be held in two days to discuss the new petition. Mr. Cameron asked the -priv- ilege of being present and that a representative from the other party be in- vited to attend also with the result that both parties received an invitation.
The meeting was held, Mr. Cameron was there but after a protracted delay, no one appeared to uphold petition No, 2, The matter in all. its phases was fully discussed in a frank and friendly manner. All questions were an-| swered by Mr. Camoron in a way which could not be missunderstood; for in- | stance when the mater of a hotel and wholesale liquor license came up, the re- ply was, ‘‘Gentlemén, neither I or the council can help or hinder you. It is amatter for the government, the inspector and the commissioners to deal with.” The license law was fully explained, as was also the school law, in fact | nothing was overlooked which had any bearing upon the mater in question, with the result that a committee of two was appointed to meet the council on Monday last when the subjoined was signed by the respective parties.
In the matter of incorporation ofwest Coleman annex, commonly known | by the naawne of Slav town, to the village of Coleman,

The Canadien historian, of whom we have now to write a brief account, was born at Quebec on June 15, 1809. Wheu he left the Quebec Seminary, at which he had received his youthful sducation, he studied for the notarial profession Knowing that as Valen- tine says in “Two Gantlemen of Ver- ona,’ ‘“hume-keeping “youths have always homely, wits,” he made a tour, in 1828, through the New England States, and in 1831 paid a_ visit to England and France. While he was in London, preparing to return home, he met with M. D..V. Viger, the dele- zate fron. the Assembly of Lower Can-
ada to the Imperial Government, and |
was retained by him as his secretary. During his residence in London, young Garneau had the opportunity of mak- ing the acquaintance of many eminent men, native and toreign, in the great netropolis He afterwards accom oaniel M. Viger from London to Paris, where he visited the Academy of Sciences, and met with many of the ‘savants”’ of that institution. in 183% that he returned to Canada,
full of newly-acquired knowledge, and |
inspiring experiences. So late as 1855, he thought it worth while to write
for Le Journal de Quebec, an inter |
esting account of his voyage to | Europe There can be no doubt that | this veyage, from various causes, but | principally owing to the literary so- tiety into which he was introduced, exercised a strong influence on the | formation of his own literary charac- | ter. Soon after this, he produced in the Quebec journals a number of poems about the Merits of which I translate the French criticism of | L’Abbe Casgrain:—‘*These poems | breathe in many instances the feel- ings that animated him in regard to | that nation of which he was soon destined to write the history. Among | the most remarkable of these com- positions we may name ‘Les Oiseaux Blanes,’ ‘L’Hiver,’ and ‘Le Dernier | These poetical efforts, how- ever, which would have been enough to make the reputation of another | man, and would have secured him 4 | distinguished position among our ‘lit- terateurs,’ were only the first step to the crowing work of his life.”
It was in 1840 that M. Garneau began writing the history of his na- tive country—a laborious undertaking | which will perpetuate his name in the | annals of Canadian literature. As a mere matter cf detail, we may record | that the first volume appeared at Que- bec in 1845; the second in 1846; and the third (which brought the history o: Cannia down tc the establishment jof constitutiona' government in 1792) in. 1348, ..The.

THE MONKEY PEOPLE.
Experiences of a Resident of Natal With the Little Animals.
A correspondent of The Natal Wit ness relates an uncommon experience he had some yeats ago at Umgeni, 4 at the pretty house, high up among the trees, where Mr. Bradley at that time super- intended the manufacture of bricks.’ He writes: We were most hospitably treated, and rested ourselves in long chairs, while the soda sizzed in_the
glasses, and one of us persuaded Mrs. Bradley to call the monkeys out of
the bush for our entertainment. When all was ready, Mrs. Bradley and her little girl took a basket of fruit and went out to the lawn and sat down, Obedient. to instrucions, we crouched
in cover, and Mrs. Bradley commenc- | | ed calling.
“Monkeys, monkeys,” she called, in a high monotone. The tree to my right rustled, and a big monkey push- ed aside a branch to reconnoitre. A moment afterwards, a tiny bold beast
went up to be fed. The example had an instantaneous effect, the bush swarmed with lithe, furry life, and 4 vanguard drew cautiously out into the | open. Mrs. Bradley called again, | and the monkeys, satisfied that all was well, trooped out in numbers. They squatted amicably round the | tad | the child, and hoger, stole and snatched sections of banana. They reminded me irresistibly of the | shameless Neapolitan ‘“‘lazzaroni — they were such brazen, yet irresistible mendicants.
One was an ancient rogue, of con- siderable size and inconceivable im pudence. He had lost a hand some- how, but managed to purloin more than his share of the fruit with none the less adroitness. With him came a giant and muscular consort, to whose lean belly clung a squealing and turbulent baby. Big monkeys, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones, nice ones, rude ones, jostled each other in | a crowd, and took food as of right from the hands of the twg humans.
|The Jittle girl treated with them as
with dols, and the monkeys treated | her with startling familiarity. One tapped on the head for another’s sins, protested almost humanly, and while reparation was being made the others | plundered desperately. 7
I never saw anything like it in the least. The scene was elemental, pri- meval: The humans and the beasts treated on common ground, as Mow- gli treated with Bagheera and Baloo.
It was grossly spectacular, like the pictures of the child leadin the lion, or Daniel in the den, and as little
real for the time being. The actors in the scene knew one another, un- derstood one another, and had matter in hand that equally belonged to both.
Finally, the bananas were at an end, and Mrs. Bradley rose.
“That’s all,” she said to the con- gregation. “Go away.”
“Not much,” returned the congre- gation, as plainly as gestures coul speak. Then they saw us, and fled.
Mr. Bradley didn’t think very much
“They hang around us” He com: lained; ‘‘they behave as if the place
longed to them. If hie leave a window open at night, they waltz in and take possession.”
Snubbing H.R.H.
It is not often that a prince is snubbed, but this happened once, at Prince of Wales,
During his first visit with the prin-- cess to Australia he was out walking one Sunday afternoon with his host, an important official. They happen- ed to pass a Sunday school just as the scholars were coming’ out, and naturally, the children followed the distinguished pedestrians.
At last the host asked them to run away, and all except one little girl did so. This tiny tot continued to gaze with innocent awe at the prince. At last the latter took her hand, walked some little distance, and then said? ee
“Now you have hada walk with me, run away and play.” :
Immediately came . the quaintly- severe retort:

TELLS OF HIS BRAVE DEED. |
|@ question, sir!”
Interviewed by Three Representatives of the Press and Treated With In- sulting Levity—He Falls Asleep on the Lounge.
{Copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.)
HEN Mr. Bowser came home to dinner the other evening it was evident that he was on the rush, and he had
scarcely got his head inside the door when he called out to Mrs. Bowser:
“If dinner fs not on the table, hurty it up as fast‘as you can.”
“You can sit down at once, Have you got to go back to the office or somewhere this evening?”
“No, but I expect half a dozen call- ers. Some of them may be here with- in ten minutes.”
“I—I hope it isn't politics,” said Mrs. Bowser as they got sented at the ta- ble.
“I’ve got nothing to do with politics.”
“And the callers you expect are not coming to sell you an auto, a balloon or anything of that sort?’
“Certainly not.” ‘
“And you are not going to take box- ‘ing lessons again and be knocked clear across the garret and left for dead?”
Mr. Bowser flushed up and glared at dher across the table and for a moment
“MR. BOWSER, WERE YOU EVER TAKEN IN ON A CONFIDENCE GAME?” weemed inclined to explode. Then he caught himself and cooled down and
replied: ‘
“I suppose I must explain, though | hate to be talking about myself. The car was crowded this morning, and lL rode on the rear platform.”
“And some one stepped on your ‘feet?”
“No, ma'am. We had got down to Beach street when the car stopped for ‘a lady to get on. She: was in the-act ‘when the car started. But for me ghe ‘would have been dragged under the wheels und crushed.” '
“You rang two bells for the car to stop, did you?”
“Of course not. 1 am not ringing ‘bells on a blamed old street cur, I reached down and seized the lady and {lifted her on to the platform by main @treogth and thus saved her from cer- tain death.”
“That was grand!” exclaimed Mrs, ‘Bowser. “I am proud that you had such presence of mind.”
“Il always have it. It belongs to the Bowser’ family—that is, to the male members of it. | shouldn't be rattled even in an earthquake.”
“Well, the lady was grateful, of course?” Called a Hero. “Of course. She called me a hero
and all that, took my address and said that she would see that the public learned all about me. In other words, she intended to notify half a dozen of the newspapers and have them send representatives over here this evening to interview me and publish my picture and the full particulars. of the heroic rescue.”
“Why, dear, it will be another Binns case,”
“The Binns case won't be in it. All he did was to stay on the Republic ‘with a lot of others and work bis wire- less apparatus. He simply had to stay. If he had tried to sneak away the cap- tain would have had bim in irons. The Binns case makes me tired.”
“You were certainly a hero,” said Mrs. Bowser as she glanced at him ad- miringly. “In reaching down to seize the lady you might have pluuged head- firet in the yawning abyss. Her weight might have torn your arm off, The hind end of the car might have lifted up at that critical moment and driven your heag through the roof. Why didn’t you telephone me as soon as you reached the office?”
“Humph! I should think you had lived with me long enough to know that I am not one who blows his own horn, I even hope that no reporters will come. I don’t want to be called a hero for a simple act of duty.”
“Will they want my picture too?”
“Eh? What? Your picture? What for?”
“Why, I am Mrs. Bowser, the wife of the great hero.”
“But what in thunder does the pub- tie care about that? You're my wife, of course, but don’t you go bentiog

After muking ready he began: “Mr. Bowser, were you ever taken In on a confidence game?” “W-what do you mean?” was the re- y

“I don’t understand your asking such
“No? Then let me inquire at what age you began to lose your hair and what remedies, if any. you have tried for your baldness?”
“Look here, young man,” said Mr. Bowser as he rose up, “if you have come kere to insult me you can get right out. What hus my hair or my baldness got to do with this inter- view 7’
“Why, a great deal. The lady you assisted on to the car this morning has a sure remedy for baldness, and she wanted me to tip you off. before you fell into the hands of any swindler.”
“You go out, sir+you go out—and be glad that I don't throw you. out! The idea of such talk to me, and in my own house at that!”
“Oh, well,” said the young man, “if that is the way you feel about it I'll withdraw. I hoped to make a couple of columns of your story. but there are many disappointments in this profes- sion. Good night to you.”
Mrs. Bowser was in the sitting room, and, the door being open, she had heard every word. Mr. Bowser knew this, and he hated to face her, but when be finally did be found ber deeply interested in a book—so deeply that she simply glanced up and said:
“If there is a call for your photo- graphs | have them right here.”
Again Insulted by the Press.
Then the bell rang again, and a sec- ond young iman was admitted. He anxiously asked if Mr: Bowser would submit to an interview, and upon being answered in the affirmative a great load seemed to be lifted from his mind. Whé@h pad and pencil had been fished from his pocket he smilingly began:
“Mr. Bowser, did you or did yeu not on a certain occusion get up in the morning and put your day shirt on over your nightshirt aud wear it thus all day?”
“What do you mean, sir?” was de- manded.
“Why, it is claimed that all great heroes are absentminded, and I want- ed to see how it was with you. We mey let that pass, however, and I will ask you if your father had a short and
| stocky figure the same as you have.
The 'ady whose life you so heroically saved this morning noticed your fig-
ure and asked me to be particular |
about it. She said it seemed to her that you had jumped off the roof of a barn some day and telescoped your legs.” Escorted to the Door.
“T will escort you to the duor, sir!” said Mr. Bowser in a low, tense voice.
“But this interviéw is hardly begun.”
“This interview is finished, sir! The next interview will take place when we meet on the street!”
“Sorry, very sorry. I was going to give you the whole front page in the
| morning, and now we must fill it with
a condensed milk advertisement. If you change you mind within an hour please telephone us. Good night.”
Mr. Bowser expected to see a smile | set ’e couldn’t do nothink, else I ain't | on Mrs. Bowser’s face and hear some- | used to running like that, and ’e’d ‘ave |

“Well, sir, what's wanted?”
“I am from the Daily Star,” was the reply of the reporter.
“Well?”
“If you are Mr. Bowser, the hero, I |
want to ask you if you ever tried keep- ing a pig in the city?’
“Sir!" é
“And if the pork cost you 48 cents a pound?”
The door was opened, the reporter shoved out on to the steps, and Mr. Bowser limped back into the sitting room and fell on the lounge and stretched out his back. No one spoke. No one moved. The quietness of death prevailed for ten minutes, and then his breathing told that he was asleep. Mrs. Bowser tiptoed over and saw a tear on either cheek and bent down and kissed them away and whispered to herself:
“Poor man, he would be a hero if he could, but he can't be. He can only be just Bowser.” M. QUAD.

WIND AND WAVES.
A Gale’s Action Upon Water, Desert Sand and Prairie Snow.
There are wind waves in the water, sand and snow, The great sea waver are produced at that part of a cyclene where the direction of the wind coin- | cides with the direction of advance of the depression. Along this line of ad- leance the/waves in their progress are accompanied by a strong wind blowing across their ridges as long as the at- mospheric depression is maintained. So the waves are developed until they become steep. The average height in

| twenty-six feet, although individual | Waves will attain a height of forty feet. The prevailing wind in all longi- | tudes is westerly, so wherever a west- | erly wind springs up it finds a long | Westerly swell, the effect of a previous | wind still running, and the principal effect of the newly born wind fs to |increase the steepness of the already |running long swell so as to form |majestic storm wares, which some- times attain a length of 1.200 feet | from crest to crest. The longest swells |due to wind are almost invisible dur- |ing storms, for they are masked by the shorter and steeper waves, but they emerge into view after or beyond the storm.
The action of the wind to drift dry sand in a procession of waves is seen in the deserts. As the sand waves cannot travel by gravitation, their | movements are entirely controlled by the wind, and they are therefore much |simpler and more regular in form and morement than ocean waves. In their | greatest heights of several hundred feet the former become more complex owing to the partial consolidation of the lower layers of sand by pressure, but they still have the characteristic wave features.
In the Winnipeg prairies of Canada freshly fallen snow is drifted by wind in a procession of regular waves, pro- | gressing with a visible and ghostlike |motion. They are similar to desert /sand waves, but less than half as | steep, the wave length being fifty jtimes as great as the height. The | flatness of the wind formed snow | waves affords a valuable indication of | the great distance to which bills shel- ter from the wind.—Chicago Tribune.

Now Near Decay. Slowly but steadily the historic
ind southwestern part of Ireland are lisappearing. Time’s ravages and nan’s neglect have done the work of ; ffacement, and places dear to the iearts of Ireland’s sons, at home or | n exile, are fast crumbling into do ray. z 1 In this connection may be mention- xd the little Roman Catholic chapei | Garranboy, a quaint hamlet with- n a few miles of the picturesque own of Killaloe in the County Clare. [his little edifice dedicated to the worship of God was built in 1812, when its people taking advantage. of she relaxation of thé penal laws, mov- sd once more into the open and dared wo aspire to the right of public wor- ship.
Close by, but more secluded, stood the old thatched Chapel of Sean Tigh an Alfrinn—the old house of the mass —where the people of the surround- | ing districts of Clare and Tipperary | were wont to assemble during all that long, dreary night of persecution and | when the ancient parochial churches | of the neighborhood were either ap- propriated or destroyed, to assist at the great sacrifice and hear the Word f God, while sentinels kept watch from the sutrounding hillteps. ‘Tis | no «6wwonder associations so sacred would be treasured deeply in the | nearts Of a faithful people.
It would be hard to realize the de- plorable state of decay in which the present structure is. The walls are seriously out of plumb, the roof is in danger of falling in, and that, all |things considered, remodeling is out |of the question. An effort is now be- |ing made to remedy this sad state of |things—to replace this historic ruin by a building, plain and substantial, but somewhat suitable for its sacred purpose. In this work the Very Rev. Canon Flannery, the parish priest of | Killaloe, is much interested and has |issued an appeal for aid. The people of the locality have been and are, according to their means, contribut- ing generously to the building fund; |atill, without assistance from their friends at home and abroad and the

She probably thought that she had

awoke next day to find herself infam- ous—in the opposition press. The whole country was informed of this traitorous endeavor to encourage the foreign manufacturer at the expense cf those at home, and there was a great deal said about the abuse of
positions of influence. Then the comic papers got busy, one wag dub- bing the Premier’s residence “‘No. 10

Ordered Off-His Qwn Grass.
The Duke of Norfolk seems at pres- ent to be bent on getting rid of some of his great possessions. Earl Mar- shal and premier peer of the realm since he was thirteen years old, duke might reasonably be expected to have developed into something of an autocrat, but he is regarded with admiring devotion by his tenantry. His carelessness in of dress and deportment have given rise to many amusing incidents. On one oc- cesion he was ordered off his own grass by an member of an ex-
| cursion party which was being shown
thé beauties of Arundel. “Come off that. can’t yer?’ she shouted at. the shabby figure crossing one of the lawns. “It’s such like as you gets us decent folk into trouble.” The duke married his cousin, the Hon. Beatrice Maxwell, and when kneeling at the altar during the wedding ceremony displayed on the soles of his boots the price mark—and the silk hat he wore was, as his are invariably, brushed the wrong way. As head of the Howard family, the Duke of Nor- folk is, of course, prominent among Roman Catholics in England.
The Sinner's Progress. ¥
In narrating a story of a naughty girl and an English magistrate in his book, “Old and Odd Memories,” Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache supplements it with that famous example of anti- climax, the rebuke of a head master to youthful Etonians for unpunctual- ity at chapel, “Your conduct is an insult to the Almighty and keeps the canons waiting.”’
The young girl mentioned was had up before the istrate by a farmer for killing one his ducks with a stone. The case inst ber was quite clear, but it was ught worth while to call witnesses to prove that she wee vey nangly inieen and in the
abit i language.
Then, Regge accents, the mage istrate addressed her:

That she has a | perfect right to demand greater |service at the hands of the post office department is now recog- nized by all. Business interests are daily handicapped and | placed in jeopardy by the lack of | timely communications that are of paramount importance in facilitating business and trade. | All the year we have a local ieast and west (beside the pas- senger). We also have a com- pany able and willing to further ithe interests of the Pass by carrying mails.

We fight for principles and |
leave no stones unturned in the attainment of these. Anything that is worth fighting for is worth fighting hard for.

We have already received many enquiries about the new gold mine just one mile and a half west of Coleman.- Many people are already anxious to invest in this new industry of Coleman’s.
Our town fathers are to be congratulated for securing Slav Town as a part of Coleman. Mayor Cameron is always on the alert for any thing that would tend to benefit our thriving town.
We understand that the new union is negotiating with the Provincial Workmen’s Associa- tion of the eastern provinces to have a thorough qualified man to come here to help organize “locals” in the west.
The new union has now over eighty check-off sheets signed by members of that union. Each one of the sheets is worth $5.00. This means that this new union on the first pay day will receive support from this camp alone to the amount of $400.00, which is, not so bad for the start.
The business man who thinks | that he can be successful and not advertise, makes the great- est mistake conceivable. It may pay for a short time but he will miserably fail in the long run. Many of our successful business men are advertising their wares in the columns of of this paper but there are still afew who (judging by every- jay observations, may not be rightly classed “successful ) are not advertising.
THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER
Here's what Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York American, the high- est salaried man in America, has to say about the local newspaper :
‘I should like to say, and in this you all know, Iam certainly not in- fluenced by personal interests, that the intelligent advertiser should under no circumstances neglect the import- ance of the local paper, Every man who sells goods, every man who tries
Can not the de- |
| licity as his club.
how important the personal equation is. If you wanted to sell a man a coat, and you could get that man’s intimate friend to go to him and talk to him about the coat your sale would be assured.
“The local newspaper is the local intimate friend of the people you are trying to reach in each locality. You may advertise in the big monthlies spread all over the country, you may have your picture done in beautiful colors and half tones, you may ad- vertise in the metropolitan news- vapers and break ground in a big way but you cannot get all the results, and in my opinion you cannot get the best results unless you bring to your aid the daily association of the local editor with his local readers.
**T am especially anxious to empha- size the point because I feel very deep- ly the importance of supporting local newspaper enterprises, and of reward- ing adequately the work done by the local editor and his staff. You cannot keep this country in order, you can- not regulate or keep down its finely organized rascality, unless you have in every little town, and if possible in every little village, the local editor who isa moral policeman, using pub-
“Tf you kill off the local editor, by neglecting his advertising columns, you deprive his locality and the coun- try at large of the most important feature of public defence and good governinent. You harm the com- munity as would) harm the farmers if you went systematically to work starving their watch dogs to death. The local editors are the watch dogs of the local neighborhood and, in addition to that they are the real defenders of the public, they do a work that a handful of metropolitan newspapers cannot pretend to do,
- Fortunatély they give you a good return, the best return for your ad- vertisement investment, when you ad- vertise with them widely, and they will grow in power and_ prosperity with the growth of intelligent adver- tising.”

The Newspapers
The newspapers build your town, why not, build up the newspapers? There is no better advertisement in the world for a town than a good news- paper. A newspaper is the barometer of a town’s industry. Show us a good newspaper full of advertising and we will show you a town full of live, pros- perous merchants,
Newspapers are town builders, town advertisers, fortune makers, news dis- seminators, sermon deliverers, pros- forcasters—they are a necessity, not a luxury. Without them we would re- trogress to the medimval days, Don’t patronize them from a charitable or sentimental standpoint; ‘patronize them because they deliver the goods— that is, if they are the right kind.— Chicago Trade Journal.

WORK AND WORRY
By T. B. Branpon
Have you ever stood by sume great machine that was running and accom- plishing its mechanical tabor in a man- her most perfect? How like a thing of life it seems, as its wheels, shafts, and parts co-operate and move in per- fect harmony, its tasks to perform! Just so long as every wheel does its duty, every spring, or shaft, or bear- ing stays in place, allis well; but let one of the many component parts of the machine fail in its duties, and shortly, perhaps instantly, the entire organization is thrown out of proper balance, and time, effort and money is wasted.
I have often watched a shaft tuprn- |
ing rapidly in its oiled bearings. It does its work smoothly, noiselessly and efficiently. Itis when one con- templates the work it does—the thou- sands upon thousands of times the shaft turns round in its bearings, one is filed with astonishment when he considers how much it works and how little it wears.
The secret of it lies in the fact that friction has been reduced almost to a point where it ‘* cuts noice,” asa street gamin would put it. Friction is the great trouble maker for men as well as machines. Just aslong as things are running smoothly, and .no little breakdowns occur to annoy and vex us, we are hopeful and happy. Then something does occur, and there are delays, dissappointments, and break- downs, and it seems to us that the chief captain of the trouble maker has butted in our business and is making merry at our expense,. Then it is that we may know that something that has no business to be there has gotten in- to the bearings of our existance, and through friction has caused us trouble.
In a machine of iron and steel, the bearings must be oiled, or the shaft, when not lubricated, will but the bear-
case, The time set for the deposit of the money was between ten p.m. and two a.m.
Under orders from the police several men were posted at each designated place, and fake parcels placed in the hiding places by the recipients of the letters but no attempt was made by the Black Hand gang to claim the booty. Nota member of the Italian society is working today. everyone is armed and a determined effort is being made to assist the police in protecting the lives of their leaders. A meeting is being held this afternoon by, the Italian society with about 350 members present.
SLAV TOWN CASTS IN ITS LOT WITH COLEMAN
(Continued from page one) |
The agreement is certainly very fav- orably to our Slav Town friends as | they will be at once placed in as good a | position as Coleman now stands. We congratulate Mr. Cameron and all con- cerned on the consumation of an agree- ment which must be of great benefit to all concerned. The MINER extends a warm welcome to our friends of the western suberb on becoming a part of a greater Coleman and sharing in her prosperity.
On Tuesday a meeting of the board of trade, Mr. Cameron explained the action of the council in detail and wound tp with saying, ‘ we intend to carry out this agreement to the letter and would be pleased to have any com- ment from this board which they may see fit to make.” After a full discus- sion the board passed the following resolution:
‘We, the members of the Coleman | | subscriptions.
board of trade do endorse the action of the city council and the contract
made by them with the citizens of Slav Town, and that we further endorse any expenditure
which may be made in this contract and that it may be carried into effect as speedy as possible.”

ings, and the bearings will wear away the shaft, and the machinery will be- come deranged and demoralized.
‘In the human machine of blood and bones, the mind must be kept lubri- cated by the oil of optimism—the oil that quiets the troubled waters of worry. The muscles and organs must be kept oiled with the elixir of life, the essence of health so that eaclr part will do its work properly, If this oil does not existin the body, then the parts are injured and unbalanced by wear- ing unduly upon other parts and the body becomes demoralized, If the yaind has not the oil of optinusm, then it can see no light ahead, and it wears itself away by worry, and becomes deranged,
A machine of iron and steel will be long lived and efficient, doing good and satisfactory work so long as it is kept well oiled, and is not allowed to get into the bearings. A machine of blood and bane will also be long lived and efficient, doing good and satisfac- tory work so long asit keeps itself well oiled with the essence of health and keeps the sands of worry from wearing away the bearings of the brain,
Man seldom sustains injury from overwork so long as his phisical and mental organism is kept free from dis- ease; and nothing will derange phisi- cal and mental powers so quickly or so

J.»Budd came forward and learning the amount still unsubscribed was $235, very generously handed in his cheque, making up the deficiency, gladdening the hearts of the pastor and the able workers. Mr. Budd has certainly proved himself a _ great friend of the church, and the generous action was highly appreciated.
The new Baptist church is one of the best if not the finest church in the Pass, and Blairmore has much to be proud of and thankful for. Too much cannot be said of the energy and pro- the pastor, Rev.

it had always been reported around town that C. R. Taylor was a wealtby man. When he appeared at the general meeting place, Hinkham’s grocery, ail the men would shift their wads and straighten their hats out of deference as bo seated himself on the best crack- er barrel by the stove and planted his feet op the warmest, spot.
But the swift, horrible accident had silenced the jovial Croesus, and his estate had been revealed to the pub- lic’s horrified gaze as absolutely worthless.

THE MUFFS MEN WORE
A FASHION OF OTHER DAYS.
Their Use Wae Quite Common, Too, and Not Confined to Fops and Dan- dies—Double Muffe Were Once In Vogue—Extremes of Style In Sizes.
Muffs were invented for the use of a man, At least so the legend goes. It seems a classic shade found the air of the world so beastly cold when he re ascended to earth after his death that his hands were almost frozen.
Consequently it was decreed that the sinyer of the poor young gentleman should kill enough sables—evidently sables were appreciated even in those | enrly days—to make a covering for the frosted fingers. He did it, and that was the origin of the muff.
Even if one is not prepared to ac- cept this account of the first muff as | authoritative there is one thing that is certain. It is only in very modern times that muffs have been the exclu- sive property of women. Up to the third quarter of the eighteenth cen- tury men were quite as addicted to them as women were. | In the wardrobe accounts of Henry. | prince of Wales, for 1608 the prices of two muffs are set down. The most ex- pensive cost £7, a very big sum ‘tn those days, and is described as being made of cloth of silver wrought with | puris, plates and Venice twists of sil- ver and gold. The other was a com- paratively plain one of black satin em- broidered with black silk, and its price was proportionately less, only 60 shil- lings. :
At the time of Charles I and Charles II. there was a curious fashion of dou- ble muffs, a small one for each hand. something like a big loose cuff. The single or ordinary muffs carried by the English ladies of Hollar’s etchings are of medium size and made entirely of smooth fur, arranged, as a rule, wit the hair running round the muff.
At the extreme end of the century, after the advent of William of Orange. men’s muffs were still small and were generally suspended from a_ ribbon round the neck, but in 1703 it seems to have been more usual to loop the muff to a coat button. There is a widely prevalent idea, I think, that masculine muff wearers invariably belonged to the dandy class—the fops, beaus and macarornies—but this was not actually
the case. although the fashion was certainly scoffed at by some contempo- rary writers.
Staid and elderly gentlemen carried muffs habitually. For instance; Dr. Josiah Tucker, dean of Gloucester and a famous political economist. was so attached to his huge fur muff that he carried it even when officiating at the cathedral services. Englishmen, how- ever, do not seem ever to have favored lace frilled muffs such as were affected
the eighteenth century, but contented themselves with trimmings of ribbov

A Scot In London.
Muffs, both ladies’ and gentlemen's, varied much in size at different times from the reign of Queen Anne onward. In 1710 they were very tiny, but grew somewhat larger during the following couple of: decades. In 1740, however. they had decreased again, and a little later Horace Walpole writes of send- ing George Montagu “a decent siall- ish muff that you may put in your pocket, and it cost but 14 shillings.” But by 1760 both sexes were carrying such capacious muffs that pet dogs were often concealed in their warm re- cesses. About this time, by the way, muffs made of feathers were intro- duced by reason, it is said, of an un- usual scarcity of furs ip the market.
In 1786 ladies’ -muffs—men, except such eccentric fogies as Dean Tucker, had by this time given up wearing such ‘things—were decidedly diminu- tive. However, at the beginning of the nineteenth century they were again of monster proportions and so continued for about thirty years.
Two wuffs of the year 1800 shown in a fashion plate of that year are of long, shaggy fur. and in the print one is colored yellow and has a bow of purple ribbon in the center, while the other is deep brown and has no trim- ming. Another huge muff of rongh, dark fur is shown in a set of fashion plates for 1803.
A few years nearer our own time the modish muff was large, flat and se widely open at the ends that it could have afforded but scanty protection to the wrists. One example was made of ermine, a fur which was in NW favor

“What's g shame, doc?” a third said, coming up’ behind them. Dr. Waters | smiled half grimly. “I'm not quite | sure. It seems to be the hitch in the | course of a true love,” he answered. |
Lew Bayne, the man whd had spo- | ken first, shook his head energetically. | “I meant that poor old fellow’s legs,” he said. “I suppose, doc, it’s certain | he'll never walk again.”
“Now you've got me,” the doctor | protested. “I'd risk my professional | reputation that fall he got on the sleety pavement did no worse barm to his shrunken shanks than bark them up | pretty generally. There were bruises, | of course, and on the shoulder and side as well. I told him he'd be out and | about in plenty of time for the Christ- mas trade, but from the first he stood me up and down that he’d never take | another steady step, and so far, I’m | bound to admit. he was right. There’s | nothing on earth the matter with his | legs—nothing at least that I or the oth- er doctors can see. Against that there is the fact that the minute he tries to | stand on them they do the joint rule | act—double under bim as though they hadn’t strength to bear up a spider. | The trouble must lie in the nerves. If that’s what you meant, I agree with you that it’s a pity. I thought you had reference to the trick he’s played on Joe Beenam.”
“What is it?” asked Merton, the third of the group. “You know I’ve been away six months. Tell me all about it.”
“Not much to tell,” Dr. Waters said. “You know Florrie Ezell”—
“I ought to, considering she sent me away.” Merton broke in ruefully. | “You don’t mean Joye is gone on her like the rest of us? I thought”—
“You've hit it.” the doctor said. “Joe | did stand ont mighty well against the prevailing infection, but a map never knows what’s coming to him until it) hits him square in the face.”
“Lord!..lo think of Joe, the bomb- | proof,’ we called him!” Merton chuc- kled. “How did it happen? Tell me all about it.”
Merton, a newly evolved drummer, had given what he would have called | “a comprehensive order.” Dr, Waters also chuckled as he answered, nodding | his head by way of emphasizing bis points: “Well, you see, it’s this way: | The hour struck for Joe when he saw Florrie Ezell swirling around, a blue tarlatan angel, in a waltz with Bob Acton at the Patton's party.

“Well, I can at least go over and | condole with Joe,” Merton said, step- ping across the street, “And maybe sympathy will be worth an order,” he) called back over his shoulder as he struck the store steps.

Although it was late March it was)
still nipping cold. A red fire roared in | the base burner inside old Gib’s store. Old Gib himself sat close beside it, bis eye ranging all the miscellaneous mer- chandise which crowded shelves and | floor. His three clerks had been on the jump all morning, but toward noon . there came a lull. He was about to send two of them off to dinner when | the door opened wide and Merton came through, with Joe Beenam in his wake and Dr. Waters and Lew Bayne marching solemnly behind. Joe’s face -was white, his eyes brilliant, his figure tense in every line. Indeed, he looked desperate, and his voice rang hard as he said, stopping short three feet away:
“Mr. Ezell, I have come to ask you, here in the presence of these witnesses, to release me from my promise. You hnow well how it was given—with a to.al misapprehension of the truth.”
“You mean yon want to take my daughter as well as my trade and leave me, a cripple, to starvel” old Gib roared.
Joe set bis teeth. “I mean nothing of the sort!” be said. “Give me your daughter and our bome shall be yours, 1 will serve and care for you as I would for my own father.”
“You won't get the chance,” old Gib .neered. .
Joe half turned to his friends and whispered sepuichrally: “Go awayl Quick!”
“Going to murder me, hey?’ old Gib sniffed.
Joe stood very straight. The others had slunk toward the door, with the

“It is not murder! I shall give my life to free Florrie from your. intolera- ble tyranny!”
Then they saw him filing wide the stove door and dash into it what seemed like several pounds of gun powder.
Old Gib saw it too. With one wild, whooping yell he leaped from his chair regardless of crutches, of everything but flight, rnshed madly for the door, darted through it and did not pause until be came panting and trembling to his own gate. As he clung there the others overtook him, as breathless

You know he didn’t take overkindly to competition anyway" —
“That be didn't! Why, he even wrote to our credit man to keep a peeled eye on Joe,” Merton interrupted.

Dr, Waters made a low bow. “If I had thought three pounds of black sand would be so effectual I would have had you well long ago,” he said.
Merton dragged Joe forward. “If you want to kick anybody, kick me,” he said to old Gib. “I put this lad,” patting Joe's Bhoulder, “up to playing you that trick.”
“Humpb! | knew he didn’t bave the brains for it himself,” old Gib snorted, But, though he had found his legs, he was none the less old Gib. The fact was proved by his letting Joe and Florrie marry almost out of hand sod presenting them with both his store

Water Vapor on Mars.
The much debated question of the existence of water vapor in the atmos- phere of Mars appears to have been settled in the affirmative by the obser vations of V. M. Slipher, corroborated by those of Dr. F. W. Very, who esti- mates that Mars has in its atmosphere about 75 per cept more water vapor than exists in the air over Flagstaff,
caps about Mars’ poles are composed of snow rather than of hoarfrost. The prevalent conditions on Mars, says Dr. Very, are those of a mild but des- ert climate, such as Professor
Lowell has asserted exists there.

woman reporter on a country paper, who was sent out to interview leading citizens as to their politics.
‘““May I see Mr. ——?”’ she asked of
matron decisively.
“But I want to know what party he belongs to,’’ pleaded the girl.
The woman drew up her tall figure “Well, take a good look at me,” she said. “I’m the party he belongs to!” —Universalist Leader.

A GREAT MUSEUM, Tre McCord Home Contains a Wealth |
of Canadian Relics.
On the Ccte des Neiges road, out of Montreal, near where the electrics eave the highway for the Priests’ Farm. there stands a clas#ie Greek emple—the most interesting house, derhaps, in Canada. For three-score years and more it has been known as Temple Grove. Behind its Doric col- mnade one may come into contact with all the great churchmen, states | men, warriors, nobles, explorers, voyageurs and martyrs, who have been identified with Canada for the past 259 years.
The Temple is the residence of Mr. David Ross McCord, a man who has worked and twiled for a lifetime on | behalf of Canada—his native land.
Charmingly located is that pretty treasure house among the oaks, ‘the | alms, the maples, the pines and the | fragrant lilacs of Mount Royal. Its Doric colonnade recalls the Jays of ancient Greece—the days when arches had not been thought of. It is a veritable poem in brick and stone and wood, and its environment of tre: and flower and shrub only | adds te its beauty and its charm.
That house is full of the most | pricelees treasures—treasures in oil and water color, in portraits and land- scapes, in battlefields and forts, in chateaux, and ruins; in prints and | etchings, in memoranda and auto- graph2, in letters and manuscripts; in books and parchments; in guns and arrows in armor and coats-of-arms; in banners and battle flags; in marble |
wood; in relics and mementoes; in furniture and curios, in scientific ap- | parti of.a bye-gone day. These trea- | |sures have been: literally gathered from the four corners of the world.
The history of Canada for a period of 250 years is there—there in visible | and tangible form; there as it existe | nowhere else in the world. ; | The morale of the whole collection | }is this: That, grand and unrivalled as it is, 1t is a mere shadow of the | | knowledge of the man who created it. | | Withoat a most intimate knowledge of | history, his own pencil and the brush of the chief artist he employed in| painting the oils would have been | jutterly unconscious of the strategic | value of the scenes they depicted.
It is still feared in Montreal that | this splendid and intensely interesting | collection, as well as its collector and | j}owner, be coaxed away to another |grent educational centre in Canada. Attempts are indeed being made to) get it and him. Mr. McCord is chival.- | rous encugh to sacrifice himself and his family associations in the Province | of Quehec (dating Back to soon after his ancestors tanded with Wolfe in the | surf at Leuisbourg) in order that he | may have the satisfaction of seeing, | in a National Museum, teachers ac- | companied by their classes face to | face with scenes and names which are otherwise mere abstractions.
More serious still, if death should carry Mr. McCord away before the assemblage of his work in such a mu- |}seum has been made by himself, no | other mind will ever be able to juxta-

Some Remarkable Records For Do- mestics In Great Britain.
It is sheer nonsense to say that the modern servant is an aimless work- er, said Mr. William Sly, the secre- tary of the Domestic Servants’ Bene- volent Institution, of London, Eng. There are, of course, black sheep among them, as in every other occu- pation, but my experience has taught me that so long as they are well treated servants will seek few changes.
We have on our books the names of several hundred servants who have been with’ their present employers for fifty years or more. A few weeks | ago the following advertisement was

Miss Cook entered the service of
when she was seventeen years old, afterwards became Mrs. Carvalho’s norse, and subsequently, when her little charge grew up and married, same to London with her as parlor- maid. and remained with her until she died. For many years she had been regarded almust as a member of the family rather than a servant, for her long and devoted service en- jeared her to those with whom she hod lived for so many years. Miss Cook’s record, althouch one the best, has been beaten by several others. Miss Caroline Chivp, who has just celebrated her 101st birthday, has been a domestic ser- vant for over eighty vears. She was awarded a pension by the institu- tion a year or two ago, but she is nrobablvy the oldest domestic ser- vant living.
But even this long term of cervice is not the record. Susan O’Hagan, of Lisburn, near Belfast, who died in Janvary of this year, was 107 veary old. and for ninety-seven years she was in the service of three gen-

It is Ft only of late years that the na- tive of India has e an habi- tual gambler on the turf, and now- adays the bulk of the. betting of the various racing centres in India is done by natives.

judged from the progress made by | | the Montreal Industrial Co-operative | | Society, which recently completed its first year on May 7. Starting out with | |.a very small capital and only 49° members, it has made such strides that to-day it has a first-class store | and delivery system and 137 members, | and is steadily increasing. The mem. | bers comprise principally old country | | people who have seen and experienced | the benefits of co-operation in the) mother country, where distributive | co-operative societies have been de | veloped to their greatest limits. But! lately the Canadian people are - | ning to see the benefits of it it , will be but a short. time when co- | operation will be as much appreciated | here as it is now in Great Britain. | | Hon. F. D. Monk has done much to promotes federal legislation in favor of co-operative societies throughout the Dominion. The member -for | Jacques Cartier, having made a pro) | found study of the subject, sees the | benefits the masses of the people would derive trom such legislation
and that lawo will be passed similar to those existing in the British Isles. |
Wine Growing in Ontario.
Wine growing is a branch of Cana dian industry about which not very much is heard, and. it might be better | for its progress if the makers of wine from Canadian grapes were a little | more assertive, and put their products | before the public with a greater de gree of persistence and vigor. That, Canadian wines possess great merit was a fact which was clearly demon- stratea at the Franco-British Exhibi: | tion in London last year, when

The ignorant masses have not 8 greut deal of actual money to wager, but so badly bitten are many of them with the craze for betting at race meetings that they frequently wager what little Fg rye they possess on a horse, and if they lose they simply replace their loss by stealing a neigh- bor’s goods. The consequence is that when the racing season comes around the police ‘are kept very busy dealing with cases of ang larceny and other crimes involving loss of property.
“Go It, Ye Cripples.”
Sir Robert Hart came much into contact with the ill-fated Gen. Gor- don, in the days when the hero of Khartoum was attached to the Allied Army in China. On one occasion Sir Robert met Gorden-at Quinsan, and the soldier held a review in his honor. “The march-past,” says Juliet Bre- don, “‘was unforgettable. Though the soldiers were commonplace enough, plain and business-like, the officers, of whom Gordon had about thirty of all ages, sizes, and tastes, usually de- signed their own uniforms, which

FOLLOWING DISEASE
Can be Banished by the Wonderfal Tonic Powers of Or. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills, How often it is that the victims of disease—fevers, measles, la grippe or
any other contagious troubles are weak and ailing, even after the dis-
lease itself has disappeared. They do |not pick up strength as they ought; |remain listless,
tired and discour- aged. The reason for this is that the blood has been impoverished by the ravages of the disease through which the victim has passed. Strength wiil
| not return until the blood is enriched. | The blood can be enriched by no other
medicine as quickly and as surely as by: Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People—to enrich the blood and is the whole duty of these pille—thowsands have found them beneficial in bringing strength after disease had left them weak and run down. Among those who qwe good health to these Pills is Miss Iaura Hisco, New Ross, N. B., who says:—“Following an attack of measles [I was left greatly run down and suffered from a bad cough. I was advised to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and procured half a dozen boxes Before they were all gone I had re- gained my strength; my. cough had disappeared and T was once more en- joving perfect health.”
The experience uf Miss Hiseo is that of many others. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make new, rich, red blood This new blood strengthens the nerves and banishes such ailments as rheu matism, neuralcia, lumbago, dyspen- sia, etc., and brines the glow of health to pale cheeks. The Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.

Digby, N. 8. Minard’s Liniment Co., Limited. Gentlemen,—Last August my horse was badly crt in eleven places by a harbed wire fence. Three of the cuts (small ones) healed soon, but the oth- ers became foul and rotten, and though I tried many kinds of medi- . cine they had no beneficial result. At last a doctor advised me to use MINARD’S LINIMENT and in four weeks’ time every sore was healed and the hair has grown over each one in fine condition. The -Liniment is certainly wonderful in its working. JOHN R. HOLDEN. Witness, Perry Baker.

Nothing makes a girl working at a comfortable salary more tired than to marry a fellow and discover that his wages are less than she had been ceiving. - A Safe Pill for Suffering Women.— The secluded life of women which per-

fruitful cause of derangements of the stomach and liver and is accountable for the rains and lassitude that, so many of them experience. Parmelee’s Vegetable Pills will correct irregu- larities of the digestive organs and re- store health and vigor. The most deli- cate woman can use them with safety, because their action, while effective, is mild and soothing.
Mysterious
“Oh, dear,” sighed her husband’s wife. “I can’t find a pin anywhere. I wonder where all the pins go to any- wav?”’
“That's a difficult question to an- swer,’’ replied his wife’s husband, “be- cause they are always pointed in one direction and headed another.”
