J 0.HUFTON, Manager, Kingston of yielding did not come and the abroad, when the possibilities of suc- | cessful farming. began to. be realized, and when people startéd to come into the country at the rate of 200,000 a year. The price of land went up by leaps and bounds, numerous land companies were formed in the Unitéd States who pur- chased large blocks from Canadfan rail- The Land Shark's Chance, 'This was the opportunity for the land' shark and for unscrupulous persons who saw big profits in evading the law and blanketing quarter sections on a large scale. The history of the western States abounds th land frauds of thp most ingenious description. Similar methods were sought to be Introduced into the Canadian Northwest, and with a considerable degree of success. The lands bought from rallway companies were the alternate or odd-numbered sections. The even numbered sections were, under the law, reserved for the bona fide settler. This, however, did not deter some speculative land com- panies and individual speculators from securing even-numbered sections, They got bogus homestead entries made un- der the system which had been in vogue for years of allowing entries by proxy. More than that, they secured the can, cellation of genuine entries where the homesteader had failed to fulfill his obligations, or in some way or other had not complied with the law. With the adjoining evén numbered sections In his possession the speculator was able to boost the price of his lands. He would put a stiff price on an odd-num- bered section and then say to the pros- pectivé purchaser: "Now, if you will take this I will throw in the adjoining even-numbered section also." As the latter had been got for a merely nom- inal price the speculator could well af- ford to do so, and; of course, the in- tending settler would jump at the chance. In this way the former would bé handsomely paid for the land which he had obtained legitimately and also for that which had come into his pos- ion through fraud. The New Regulations, Recently new homestead regulations come ito force which are designed to prevent frauds of the kind described. Hereafter homéstésd entriés must be made in person and 'nd proxies will be allowed. For cancellation of homestead entry only one application will be re- celved from any one person and he must be a genuine homesteader. Thess changes will get at the root of the evil Furthermore, an effort will be made to set right some of the irregularities ot the past. Frauds are reported to have béen especially rampant in Alameda, Regina and Yorkton agencies, the three agencies nearest to the Manitoba and the International boundaries. In these | districts the agents have received or- ders to,prepare Hsts of all lands which have béen under entry for more than a | year and in respect of which there has been no extension of time granted. A Thorough Weeding-Out, 'When that time comes all the home- sfead Inspectors that are available in Manitoba and also in Saskatchewan and Alberta will concentrate in the three agencies named above, and armed with the lists referred to will go over the lands, township by township. Where they find a quarter section which has been under entry for more than a year but which has no special protection and upon which no improvements have been wrought they will report the fact ta the local agent. The latter will can- cel that entry and post notiee in his office at once of the fact. The land will then be open to the entry of the first applicant at the counter, ° An Enforced Holiday. The Battleford Herald registers a kick because "the entire staff of this paper were taken" to serve on a' jury recently and the Herald in consequence Nad to shut up shop. This was hard luck--for the Herald--possibly also for the litigants. But for the staff it was a windfall. About the only holiday a "stam" ge Js when they are locked up, and there may have been sentiments of human pity in the soul of the man who selected the jury. Seasons might come and seasons go, the inviting beauty of spring gives plice to the good old summer time and this to the golden glory of autumn, but for the "stan" these were only memory's fading ple- tures of the dreams of youth. And it by chance a stray sunbeam, struggling through the cobwebbed window, flick- ered on the withered features of the "old man," or the .odor of the rose blooms floated through the open door- Way to the nostrils of the "devil," these messengers from the great glad world without brought only a sigh at the pri- vations of the strenuous life.

Labrador's dreary waste is peoplad, generally speaking, by a fe ttered tribes of Montagnais Indians, "while its in the north is occupied by about 3,000 Eskimos. -Each race has Its peculiar burial customs, interesting if awesome. When a member of a com- raunity dies the Esximos carry the body to the top of the hill near their settle ment and there lay it, in a sitting posture, on the surface of the hard, flinty ground. Heavy stones are piled about it in the form of a cairn, com- pletely covering it so that the wolves and bears may be unable to disturb the body. The male is buried with his weapons of the chase and the female with her domestic implements. After years, when.the action of summer suns and winter snows has broken down the mound of stones, it is not uncommon to other natives to help themselves to the stone lamps, flint and ivory arrow and lance heads gnd other articles of value to them which are found lying besides the bodies. But in every case some substitute, even if less. valuable, 18 placed there instead of what has been removed. It is the idea of the pagan Eskimos that, though the spirit of.the dead per- son has reached the other world and no longer needs the articles, the ghosts who attended on him in life have to be propitiated by keeping up the num- 'ber of articles originally placed in the grave, even if the material of these is departed from. The Moravian mission- aries humor the natives whom they have Christianized by practicing this habit of substitution, and a favorable article to place in the graves is a rusty razor. Many years ago some admirer of the mission sent out an enormous quantity of razors in the belief that they were in general use. But the last thing one would contemplate doing on this coast in winter would be to use § razor: As no other use could be found Yor the razors, they have been devoted to this peculiar purpose, and so it is common to see in every Eskimo grave that has been opened an pliance which' no old time Eskimo ever heard of. These curioys' customs are transmit- ted from people to people. The Montag- nals Indians/have a somewhat similar practice. They bury their dead in a box or coffin made out' of bark, and in this are placed a loaded gun, a horn of powder, a bag of shot, & pouch of to- bacco, a flint and steel for striking fire, an axe and a pair of snowshoes. The burial place is likewise a hilltop, as it is impossible to dig underground in Labrador for eight months of the year, and stopes are also used to cover the coffin. But they are so arranged that some can be removed after ten days, when the relatives return and take out these valuable articles. If ig held that by that time the dead one Wi§ Teached the happy hunting grounds and has ne further use for them. But even they, too, substitute wooden sticks for the Bun, axe and snowshoes and skins for other articles --Chicago News. Northwest Rebellion Recalled. A picture in The Manitoba Free Press of a bridge (2,300 feet long and 85 feet high) which the Grand Trunk Pacific has just completed over Pine Creek, west of Portage la Prairie, Man. re- minded a veteran of the Northwest re- bellion of an incident which took place during the transport of troops westward in 1885. The Montreal Garrison Artil- lery (as it was then known) was the first regiment to make the all-rail trip to Winnipeg over the C. P. R. They laid over one Sunday at Jackfish Bay, on the shores of Lake Superior, and re- sumed their journey on the Monday morning. When they had got about fif- ty miles, the conductor came through the train and stated that they were ap- proaching a new tréstle which has just been completed. No trains had run over it, and the engineer was afraid to trust his train with-its human freight to the possible perils of the trip. So the order went forth for the regiment to march over this bridge, which was about a quarter of a mile long and about 100 feet high. OF course, the men were told to break step, and they did so. All got across safely except one rather stout man, who was a veteran of the Franco- Prussian yar, and he collapsed. He was a heavy load to carry, but a fatigue party was detailed to bring him across. They started, and had just got hold of him when they heard the train ap- proaching. The trestle was on a curve, and the train could not be seen until it was nearly upon the party; but they "hustled," and got thelr man across all right. Then It was not the Alsatian who collapsed, but his rescuers. (A Lover of Humanity. The Countess of Aberdeen is a lover of humanity. When Lord Aberdeen was Governor-General of Canada, from 1893 to 1898, the countess was probably the most conspicuous and popular woman in Canada. She was born on the estate in Inverness-shire in 1857, and was married to Lord Aberdeen in 1877. In 1886 when Lord Aberdeen became Vice- roy of Ireland she accompanied him to a post that required diplomacy and tact. Tt was at a time when the peo- Ple were sullen and discontented, for the food supply had failed. The warmth' of that fady's preserice and her work on their behalf soon won over the people, who were aided materially. She was directly responsible for a revival of the lace-making industry in Ireland, and ordered that all guests to the Castle at Dublin 'must wear Irish poplin. She organized the Women's Liberal Federa- tion, which has & membership of $0,000. Now, once again, Lady Aberdeen is the first lady of Ireland. ------------------------ Marooned All the Winter.
