Founder of Upper Canada After a Hard Struggle In the Wildernesses of North America Went Home to 'Rest and Built Wolford Lodge-- Many Relics of the Pioneer still Exist In the Historic Old Manor. High among the hills strrounding Honiton, the little country town which is famed far and wide as the centre of thé lace-making industry of Devon, stands Wolford Lodge, the pleasant English home where Gen. Simcoe, the founder of Upper Canada, spent the last few years of his eventful life. Weakeied by the wounds and hard. ships endured in the disheartening campaigns of the American revolu- tionary war, and worn with his anx- jous toil for the henefit of the new British province which it had been given to him to organize in the wild- erness, he went back to England in 1796 to seek well-earned repose. But rest was not for him. Almost im- mediately he was sent back across the Atlantic to put down an insurrection in the West Indies. Returning again to his native land, he began, about the year 1800, to build himself a spa- cious mansion on a green slope deep amongst the gently-rounded, well-cul- tivated hills of lovely Devon.. Surely no toil-worn 'warrior ever found a more restful spot in which to spend the evening of his days, for still, de- spite vastly increased population, de- spite railways and motor-cars, the whole land speaks of peace. The lodge was built in solid fashion by the general ronnd an old farm- house, which was on the estate when he bought it. Except for the addi- tion of some large bow-windows, the house has been little altered from the original design, and much of the old furniture remains in its spacious rooms. So large are they that an ancient four-post bedstead appears a comparatively small piece of furmi- tare, and the general's own bedroom is larger than many & village church In the different rooms numerous relics connected with him have been carefully preserved. On either side of the staircase window, in the square entrance hall, are two venerable flags, the colors ot the "Queen's. Rangers," a provincial corps of Loyalists, which was raised by Simcoe and did gallant service during the revolutionary war. This corps was as notable for strict dis- cipline as - dash and courage, which, anf6 nately, is more than other Loyalist Simeoe's suc- cessful organization of the Rangers was the reason for his being'asked wo undertake the more difficult and im- portant task of organizing a new government. He threw himself into the work with an energy and self-abnegation which has won for him a place amongst the heroes of our history, and has sent many a Canadian on [leritiage to his home in Devon, that beautiful county which has so long a roll of "worthies" connected with the exploration of the western world. By birth, however, Gen. Bimcoe was not a Devonian. He was born at Cot- terstock in Northamptonshire, but on the death of his father (one of Wolfe's gallant officers who died in Canada during the campaign against Quebec), he and his only brother, who was soon afterwards drowned in the Exe, were brought by their mother to Exe- ter to begin their education at the free grammar school of that ancient cathedral city. In the hall at Wolford, opposite the colors of the "Rangers," is a portrait of Simeoe as a young man, standing with two friends beside the massive tombstone of a departed ccmrade; and in the drawing-room hangs the miniature of the general taken in lat- er life, reproductions of which have made familiar to Canadians the fea- tures of the first governor of Upper Canada. There is a companion minia- ture of his wife as a young and pret- ty. woman, wearing a variety of the quaint Welsh head-dress of closely- plaited cap, surmounted by a hat; but in this case the hat is blue in- stead of black, and the crown is lower than that ordinarily associated with the women of the principality. Mrs. Simcoe was the daughter and heiress of a gentleman of Hereford, who was descerided from the ancient Kings of Wales, and family traditions describe her as & woman of high character and rather severe temper. After her hus- band's death she reigned at Wolford Lodge for four and forty years. She had nine children, of whom seven were girls; and the story goes that to the last she would never allow her daughters to sit down in her pres- ence without special permission. Nowadays a set of bookshelves across the end farthest from the large triple-windowed bay gives a hint of its original purpose. Above the book- case hangs a long piece of carved teak- wood from the luckless "Royal George," which, while being repaired, went down, with Kempenfeldt and "his twice four hundred. men," at Spithead in 1782. Beneath this relic stands a bust of Gen. Wolfe, and here and there about the room are snow- shoes, Indian baskets and birchbark canoes, that evince the interest taken in all things Canadian by Mrs. Sim- coe, the present kind and gracious chatelaine of Wolford Lodge. One of the chief ornaments of the library is "a trophy' consisting of a sword and walking stick used by the general, the midshipman's dirk and the sword of his grandson (Mrs. Simeoe's husband, who was a naval officer), and other arms connected not only with the family history, but incidentally with many stirring events in the develop- ment of the Empire. Mrs. Simcoe, by the way, has in her possession a unique collection of medals won by her father and her two grandfathers, all three of whom 'distinguished them- selves at Waterloo. The Jewish Race.

Shank, in Canada West Monthly. A STRONG TRWMVIRATE. Hon. George Graham Tells of Three Great Men From Morrisburg. Bishop Worrell of Nova Scotia, who recently spent his holidays at Hub- bard's on St. Margaret's Bay, is a keen yachtsman and delights in noth- ing more than breasting the billows as they roll in from the Atlantic. One day recently, while so engaged,' he entered into conversation with a guest, and the talk turned to his early life in Ontario, where his field of clerical labor lay until he was called to pre- side over the diocese of Nove Scotia five years ago. And in the eourse of the talk-fest,-his lordship told the foi- lowing story: "A little while ago I was on the In- ternational Limi en route from To- ronto east. In the chair car was Bir James Whitney, my former parishion- er, and we swapped many a reminis- cence of former days. At Brockville the Federal Minister of Railways en- tered the car; snd as usual when 'Genial George' is present good stor- jes began to eirculate, with the result that Mr. Graham turned to one of the party and said: 'Do you see that little town? Well, I'll tell you a story. Some years ago three young men start- ed their careers there. One was the enthusiastic and energetic rector of the Anglican church; another was an ambitious and hard-reading lawyer; the third was the editor of a strug- gling weekly (no! 'o say weakly) news- paper, These three young men to meet in the evenings in the sum- mer to exchange outdoor offinions of how they would run the world if they had the chance, and in the winter to read together and dream dreams of the future, Time passéd on and they sep- arated, only to meet semi-oceasional- ly, and seldom all three together. But today they are all here. There (point- ing to me, said the bishop) sitd the enthusiastic and energetic rector, now the Bishop of Nova Scotia. There (in- James Whitney) is the. d hard-reading lawyer, now the Premier of the Premier Pro- vince of Canada; and I, the Minister of Railways and Canals of Canada, am the editor of the struggling week- ly newspaper." : Was it any wonder that the bishop should add: "How many towns in Canada can equal this record of Mor- risburg?" ee ------------ Wirless In the North.

The discovery of -free milling gold quartz at Lae la Ronge, ern Sas- katehewan, has caused considerable excitement . at Prince Albert and throughout that riion of the pro- vince. Lac la nge is about 200 miles north of Prince Albert. At pres- ent there is a wagon road from Prince Albert to Montreal lake, and the Pro- vincial Government, is eonsidering the igaprovement of the road. From Mont- Za lake the parties are taken down the Montreal river to the gold district i oes. The gold district is said to cover an area of over 40 miles. The country is quite rocky and wooded. It is in the Laurentian range and lies directly between the Alaska gold fields and the Cobalt fields. Excellent sam- ples of copper have also been discov- ered. The find is said to be exceeding- ly rich. ------ Experiments With Peat. The Government has begun the erec- tion of an experimental station for peat on the southern outskirts of the city of Ottawa. The first experiments will be with great blocks manufactur- ed at Alfred, Ont. This station is fashioned upon the prineiple of those in Norway and Sweden and will pro- vide tests for the application of peat as a fuel.

Those who did not know the Legis lature. of Ontario of twelve or fifteen years ago, can hardly appreciate the standing which the late Hon. John Dryden held in this provinee. During all the strenuous years when the Lib- eral administration was, as it were, walking on a tight-rope and before it came to its fall, Hon. Mr. Dryden was the one man whose policy in the conduct of his De ent was never successfully attacked. Indeed the best tribute to him was the statement of Hon. Nelson Monteith, after the Con- sérvatives came into power, that he would continue to carry out the poli- cies of his predecessor. One memor- able speech was made by the late John Ira Flatt, who used to sit for North Wentworth, and was a staunch Liberal who threw off the party yoke after the party machine in his riding froze him out. 'Some in the Conser vative Opposition "had ventured to criticize the estimates of Mr. Dryden and Mr. Flatt rose in his wrath "Why," he exclaimed, "if any one was to go into a farmer's house in my constituency and say anything against Mr. Dryden, the farmer's wife would chase him out of the house with a broom." Despite his great services to the cause of agricultural development and education in the Province of Ontario, Mr. Dryden always had great difficul- ty in getting re ected, His constitu- eney was almost entirely rural, and once he was in office the farmers who used. to know him when he used to ride into Whitby on his own load of hay, far from being proud of the die- tinction that he had won, commenced to think that he was getting "stack on himself." Hon. Nelson Monteith encountered the same prej dice in South Perth undeservedly went down under it at the last general election, It was the complaint of Mr. Dryden that his wife could not buy a ard of calico without offending some- body, and if she did not buy it in the constituency the whole community would be offended. In the declining days of the Government of which he was a member, it was absolutely ne- cessary that his seat should be held for the Government not only because avery seat meant as much as ten do to the present administration, but be. cause outside his own constituency, in ridings where local jealousies did not exist, he was the strongest man in the administration. The grossest corruption was resorted to to elect him, but it was never shown, nor was it believed by the most prejudiced Tories, that Mr. Dryden was person- tally cognizant of the means taken to elect him. Indeed, he would have will ingly retired had not party pressure been too strong for him. Probably he was the most surprised man of all when at an election trial following a bye-election it was revealed that $100 bills had been flung around as though they were quarters. A very sensitive man, he deeply felt the aspersions of the Opposition press which tried tg bring the corruption used home to himself. The rancors of that period have passed away. ----aenarm------ Bound to Be Commemorated. In. the Anglican diocese of Nova Scotia there is a very laudable custom of placing on record in new churches the names of the man or men who are * chiefly instrumental in providing the funds for the house of worship, and each new church bears, in some form or other, an inscription bearing the names of those who carried the burden of collecting the money for the build- ing. But the church at Mill Cove, on St. Margaret's Bay, isTunique. I contains a tribute to a man who is still very much alive. : It seems that when the building was being erected a committee of the par- ishioners was appointed and the work was divided among 'its members, one undertaking the supervision of the wood work, another looking after the furnishings, and so on. The duty of obtaining a bell was allotted to one George E. Jollimore, who sent down to Boston and secur a bell of most metallic sound; but he took the pre- caution of having it inscri 3 "Sacred to the memory of Jollimore." The bell was duly installed and has done duty ever since, but Mr. Jolli- more is still alive although the bell is there as a post-mortem tribute. He evidently does not propose to hide his light under the steeple. George E. N Pugnacious Lobster. Amusing particulars have come to hand concerning the attempt recently made to propagate lobsters on the Pacific coast. For this purpose a eon signment of 2,000 live lobsters left Halifax for Vancouver in the firs! week in May. An attempt w made ast year to ship lobsters , but wing to their pugnacious } cies ey arrived at their destination in led condition. Failure also at later attempt, though that time plugs were placed in between the lobsters' claws to prevent disas- trous fighting. Every precaution has been i by the authorities in pre paring this last consignment for tran git. Several dozen crates were placed in a special baggage car in charge of two men. Each crate was fitted witl separate compartments, each of which accommodated one large lobster. Salt water, ice, and seaweed were placed in the erates, the temperature of which could be regulated. The top ol the crate was fitted with an ice pack and a percolating salt water tank. Where two small lobsters were packed into one berth they were § placed that they would not bite esfh other. a tend Strawberries In Alberta. James Chegevin, a gardener at Le- duc, Alberta, has this year grown fine samples of strawberries on his farm. The fruit was of good size and first- class color and flavor. He has made a specialty of strawberries for the past three years and at present has about two acres of plants. He is at present experimenting with twelve distinet varieties apd states that the Alberta climate is ideal for profitable strawberry cultivation. In spite of the quite heavy demand and the con- sequent decrease in his berry uc- ing plants, he will market fully fifty erates this season. Weak women should read my "Book No. 4 for Women."
