HE MADE WEALTH La Rose the First Discoverer Made a Sine Sum of $250,000 Secured a Sweetheart and Settled Down. to be made wealthy out of Cobalt was John La Rose, the blacksmith connected with the Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Rail- Way construction gang. He climbed u the steep rocks at the head of Cobalt Lake to get hardwood for his forge fire. While wielding his axe, he slip- ped, 'nearly chopping his foot, but aking his fortune. The keen steel glanced off the log on to the rock, scraping away the dirt, and lodging against a pro ding leaf of pure na- tive silver. He did not stake.the first claim, however, but imparted the in- fcrmation to somebody else, who regist" tered their "discovery" before La ose. However, the blacksmith was quick enough to get the property on which he first found the silver, and which is now the location of the valu- able mine which bears his name. He gold a half interest in the mine to the Timmins Syndicate, for $5,000, and subsequently sold the other half for $27,000. This netted $32,000 to the first discoverer, not a big sum, in compari- son with the fortunes which have been made since. But La Rose was as poor £3 the average habitant before - his find. His tastes were modest, and the $32,000 was to him'a big fortune. It'is stated that the blacksmith subsequent- ly won the heart of a French-Canadian lassie, and is now living in a little vil- lage near Quebec City, still pursuing his calling. Oblivious of all the mil- lions which are now being made out ot the mineral wealth which he dis- covered, he lives a contented, happy life, as the village blacksmith. The Indian Tradition. The story of a still earlier Cobalt ro- mance is 'as follows: For centuries the Indians roarged the rocky banks of the Nipissing Lakes, utterly unconscious of the stupendous wealth they were tramping under foot. When at last they received an inkling of the valu- able deposits, jealously of the white man's inroads on their territory pre- vented their disclosing the secret of the district. It became a tradition among the redskins that he who dis- closed the position of the silver de- posits to any man' with white blood would meet death before the next new moon. The first man Tradition Fulfilled. Twenty-seven years ago, it is stated, the white men knew in a general way of the existenee of deposits of the valuable metal near Lake Temiskam- ing. All the bribes that could be of- fered the redskins were not sufficient te induce them to impart 'the secret. The beautiful daughter of a big chief became the wife of a halfbreed near Fort Temiskaming, and told him the secret hitherto sacred to her full-bloed 2d ancestors. It is said that she was stricken with the "white plague," and died within two weeks. Then the half- breed, crazed with grief, hied him- self to a settlement on the Spanish River, where he promised a dealer in liquor to direct him to the silver lodes in consideration of copious drafts of intoxicants. The agreement was that the trip was to be commenced the fcllowing morning. That night, how- ever, in a paroxysm of drunkenness, the halfbreed was overturned from his canoe into the river--another fulfill- ment of the tradition. In 1872 lumber- men heard of the silver, and sent ex- perts through the countgy to make an examination. The reports brought back were discouraging, and no devel- opment was attempted. Book Romances to Come. Cobalt, with its incalc@lable rock- bound wealth, will probably be the basis of many a stirring book romance of the future. Already Dr. W. H. Drummond, the author of "The Habi- tant," and other works that have made him a leader among Canadian writers, has established himself in a pretty cottage on the Drummond Mines prop- erty, on Kerr Lake, about four miles south-east of Cobalt town. There, over- looking the activities of half a dozen mines, and within ear shot of the never-ceasing dynamiting on a dozen others, he is busying himself with lit- erary works that will probably per- petuate the memory of the greatest silver limit of the generation, perhaps of the century The Dominion King's Printer. Dr. 8. E. Dawson, King's Printer, and Comptroller of Stationery for the Dominion, who has recently been hon- ored with-a C.M.G., is one of the best known and most honored of the publie servants at the capital. He is a son of the late Rev. B. Dawson of the Re- formed Episcopal Church. Born at Halifax on June 1, 1833, and educa- ted at McCullough's school in that city, he early entered the book-selling and stationery business in connection with\his father. Afterwards the firm became Dawson Bros. In 1879 Mr. Dawson aided in the founding of the Dominion Bank Note Company, and one year later of the Montreal News Company. In 1881 he was appointed a delegate to Washington to confer on the subject of international copyright. He was long a member of the Board of Protestant school commissioners in Montreal, and for a time was Presi dent of the Board of Arts and Manu. factures of the Province of Quebec. He was appointed to his present posi- tion in 1891, and has fulfilled itd du- ties with credit and honor. Dr. Dawson has been a frequent con- tribute to the Canadian periodicals, and was one of the earliest writers for the Canadian Monthly. His best- known work is an appreciative study of Tennyson's "The Princess." No Hindu Cremation In B. C. Unable to secure permission from the Canadian officials to cremate their dead accorling-.to their religious be- liefs, the Hindu residents of Western Canada are sending their dead to Seat- tle, Wash., for cremation. After-cre- mating, the dust is scattered over the sea. 'According to the Hindu rites, the dead body must be covered with brash, and burned until not even the bones remain. The Canadian officials are having considerable trouble with these Orientals, who arq now flooding British Columbia. The latter are again taking up the matter with the offi- cials in regard to the erection of a Hindu crematory, but there is small chance of success. They say that the = WORLD WALKERS. India Seems to "Ba Their Stamping Ground Just Now. - The Allahabad 'Pioneer reports the start, from Karachi, for 8 walk round the world, of a man named Thomas Lorimer. The wager was one of 16,000 rupees made with two bookmakers; the con- dition being that Lorimer was to start from Karachi without money; that he was neither to beg, borrow, nor steal on the journey, but would earn his liv. tng by honest means, and return to Karachi within four . Lorimer set out. a fit condition carrying only a waterproof sheet! a couple of small cooking utensils | (f aluminium, 'and a few other neces saries. y 1s not mew to sugh adventure; He and he hopes to get through his pres- ent expedition by giving performances en route. He is a y 'entertainer as well as a good athlete. His route will be through India, Up per Burmah, to China; through Japan to the Philippines; to and across Aus. tralia; then by sea to, New Zealand, and thence to and across America. He will cross to the British Isles, and con- tinue onward thro France, Ger- many, the Balkans, + Palestine, on to Egypt, through Abyssinia and Samoliland; and return to Karachi by Sea. i Mr. Alfred Mosaly. Few individuals have spent as much money for the Knitting together of the various parts of the Empire as Mr. Alfred Mosely, whe is now pro- posing to take a party of téachers from this continent to visit schools in Europe, says The Toronto News. He has provided many trips of this character to let the workmen, the leading educationists, the rank and file of the teachers of Britain, have a glimpse of what is doing in other parts of the world, and particularly in the United Stateg and Canada. '* Mr. Mosely were not imbued with one dominant idea he would, onc would judge, be a rather difficult man to approach, but he has so much to tell the world, he believes so firmly in the gospel he preaches, that he welcomes the interviewer. He is ap- putently on the sunny side of fifty, a arge but not corpulent man, slightly above middle height. He has a large (dome shaped head with rather wavy brown hair, and his lips, according to the accepted rules, indicate one who ought to be able to roll off words eas- ily. But the thing which strikes the interviewer is not Mr. Mosely's phil- anthropy and Imperial spirit in spending large sums of money in carrying out these plans. All these seem mere incident to the enthus- iasm for and devotion to Mr. Cham- berlain and his propaganda. Mr. Mosely believes Mr. Chamberlain is right, -he believes Birming- ham's favorite son is the most right man in the Empire, and he is using his wealth, his brains and energy in propagating - Mr. . Chamberlain's Im- perialism. Happy is the leader who has such a lieutenant. Careful John Bull. Enormous sums of money are fre- quently expended by various Govern- ments to rectify errors, often appar ently '-ivial, in Government printing. Britain seldom has to put up with such losses, but on the continent and in America carelessness or wanton- ness in misprinting money orders, telegraph forms, and bank notes had led to serious loss. he Kaiser's interference in all mat- ters of art has cost the Fatherland heavy losses. One of his frst acts cs sovereign was to show lis subordin- ates how the Imperial arms should he printed. After many thousand forms and documents had been impressed with these arms a hich authority proved to His Majesty that the new design was not only wrong. but also humiliating to himself. Fifteen hun- dred pounds' worth of Tapers were promptl: reduce. to ashes In another case the aiser sub- edited the German money order form. in such a way that the public could not make head or tail of it. Finally the new form had to be called in, and, along with thousands of unissa- ed copies, destroyed. The United States rome years ago destroyed 4,000,000 telegraph forms owing to the misspelling of a single word. A Long Time Dying. Lord Randolph Churchill will be pa- thetically memorable, too, for the dark cloud which gradually enveloped him, and in which he passed away. Ha was the chief mourner at his own pro tracted funeral, a public pageant of loomy years. Will he not remem- red as much for the anguish as for the fleeting triumphs of his life? It is a black moment when the heralds proclaim the passing of the dead, and the great officers break their staves. But it is a sadder still when it is the victim's own voice that announces his decadence, when it is the victim's own hands that break the staff in publie. I wonder if generations to come will un- derstand the pity of it, will compre hend the full tragedy of Randolph's marred life.--From Lord Rosebery's Churchill. Queen Alexandra's Jewels. Queen Alexandra has a safe full of diamonds and pearls. Bhe owns some wonderful colored gems, rubies, sap- hires and emeralds, and the great {ohinoor, the property of the British crown, has been reset for her. But the jewel she values most of all is her en- gagement ring--set with a beryl, san emerald, a ruby, a topaz, a jacinth and auother emerald. The initial letters of these stones spell the name by which her husband is intimately known and by which she has always called him. Next to this in her 'affections comes the diamond cross given to her by the women of Denmark on her marriage and the crown of brilliants, set in sil- ver, which the women of England pre- Setted to her on her silver wedding ay.

T -- 57,820 Articles Left In Public Vehicles In World's Metropolis. {| Is the public growing more absent. minded? An answer in the affirma- tive would appear to be the legitimate deduction . from the figures, supplied in the annual report of the Commis- sioner of Metropolitan Police, regard- ing articles found in cabs, omnibuses and tramway cars, and received ut the lost property office. Last year 57,820 articles were found, an increase of over 5,000.0 the pre- vious year. In 1901, 40,231 articles n a steady increase. There were received last year 44,825 written in- Quiries in regard to lost goods ine crease of 5,435 on the figures of 1904, and of 14,05) on those of 1903. Owners of the lost articles were found in 26,770 cases. These were of the declared value of £37,215 19s., and awards amounting to £3,509 12s. were pod to drivers and conductors who ound the lost articles. In 13 cases awards of £5 were paid, five of £6, one of £7, four of £8, three of £10, one of £35, one of £30, and: in one case the lucky finder received &100.

Hereditary Politics. At first sight it must appear remark- able that parties and leaders should be 80 ill-mated, but on reflection. there seems no reason for surprise. When 'it is considered how hereditary is the transmission of politics in this coun try, it seems rather wonderful that, after reading, travel, and thought, the family dogmas are not more often questioned. Men are netted early into political clubs; or fall, when callow, under the influsnce of some states- man; or stand as youths for some constituency before they have con- sidered the problems of life. Many never consider them at all; but those who do must often find themselves in disagreement with the politics which they have prematurely professed. Some, too, must find that, while they remain staunch to what seem the fun- damental tenets, the party itself, un- der erratic guidance, or lured by the prospect of monetary advantage, 'is wandering far from its fold; and so, while they themselves remain ortho- dox, they are isolated by the unortho- doxy of their friends. Add to which the politician sees the seamy side or ccmiortless interior of his own: party alone; he is not admitted to the draw- backs of the opposite faction; so that the one in some respects seems more alluring than the other, If all these things be considered, it will seem marvelous that there are not moré po- litical conversions or perversions than there are.--From Rosehery's Study of Churchill. The King's Private Secretary. For 36 years Lord Knollys has been the King's private secretary, and it says much for our Sovereign's pérson- al qualities that he has been able 0 attach to himself the whole-hearted devotion and unswerving fidelity of such a man. It is, indeed, devotion of a kind which mere money and titles could never purchase for any mon- arch, says M.A.P. Lord Knollys 1s the one man living from whom the King has no secrets. He controls His Majesty's enormous correspondence with marvellous ability, aided, of course, by assistant secretaries, who do the routine work. It is an im pressive sight to see him in his shirt sleeves tackling a mountain of let- ters from all manner of people. Think of the knowledge of the world, experi- ence, tact, judgment, memory, and, above all, rapid decision, which this work entails. The King must be spar- ed in every possible way, and yet there are some letters which he must gee. Cranks, faddists, inventors, and such like fearful wild-fowl are dealt with in a routine way. But there are thousands -of begging-letters to be sift ed, with the invaluable aid of the Charity Organization Society, for His Majesty is very tender-hearted, and would be much troubled if any gens uine case were treated unsympatheti- cally. Britain's War Secretary. The Right Hon. Richard Burton Hal- dane, Secretary of State for War in the British Liberal Cabinet, is not a warrior nor a military man, but a sue- cessful lawyer and a distinguished phi- losopher. His appointment to his pre- sent position tempted a well-known German statesman to make some caus. tic remarks about the peculiar doings of the English people. "You are a curious race, you English," he exclaim- ed; "your greatest philosophical lawyer you appoint to rule your arm- ies, and your greatest philogophigal historian you set to govern India." Mr. Haldane was born at Edinburgh in 1856 and was educated at Edinburgh University and at Goettingen. His fav- orite study was philosophy, and in this he so excelled at both seats of learn. ing that in '1876 he was appointed Gray and Ferguson scholar in philoso. phy at the four Beottish universities, In 1879 he was called to the Bar and was ade a Q.C. in 1890. This year he was elected Lord Rector of Fdin- burgh University. Mr. Haldane has written a number of books and essays, chiefly on philosophical subjects. He has represented Haddingtonshire in the House of Commons since 1885, ---------------------- A Remarkable Printing Press. # The University Press at Oxford is the most remarkable printing estab- lishment in the grorldf as well as one of the oldest. t is What yeu might call self contained, and if everything else pertaining to printing were blotted off the faceof the earth to-morrow the University Peta, would go right ahead as if nothing had happened.
