E-- SANTA AND THE ~~ LITTLE MOUSE. By FRANCIS TAYLOR. [Copyright, 1905, by American Press Asso- ciation. } . On¢ Christmas eve when Santa Claus Came to a certain house To fill the children's stockings thers He found a little mouse, "A merry Christmas, little friend," Said Santa, good and kind. "The same to you, sir," said the mouse, "I thought you wouldn't mind / "If Ishould stay awake tonight And watch you for awhile." "You're very welcome, lit- tle mouse," Said Santa, with a smile. And then he filled the stockings up Before the mouse could gf wink--- From toe to top, from top to toe, , . « There wasn't left a chink. "Now, they won't hold another' thing," Said Santa Claus, with pride, A twinkle came in mouse's eyes, But humbly he replied: \ "It's not polite to contradict. Your pardon I implore. But in the full- est stocking there I could put one thing more." "Oh, ho," laugh- ed Santa, "sil. ly. mouse! Don't I know how to t By filling stockings:all these fi I should have learned the knack." And then he took the stocking down From where it hung so high And said: "Now put in one thing more, I give you leave to try." The mousie chuckled . to himself, And then he softly stole Right to the stocking's crowded toe And gnawed a little hole. "Now, if yon please, good Santa Claus, I've put in one 'thing more, For you will own that little hole Was not in there before." \ How Santa Claus did laugh and laugh! And then he gayly spoke, "Well, you shall have a cheese For that nice little joke." THE DEAR OLD TREE. By FRANK H. SWEET.

Previous | o 1596, the year in which the pen. { gulum at Ottawa swung to the Lib- feral side, Mr. Broder had for some «ime been occupying the position of collector of customs at Morrisburg. Sine: then he has continuously repre- sciuted Dundas, Sir 'James Whitney s {| wrloved constituency, in the Federal + House i? But it was during Mr. Broder's oe- cupancy of the customs office that everal occurrences, humorous in { character, are recorded. No doubt the ww member for Dundas was zeslous in the discharge of his duties. 'No doubt while occupying the chief desk at the receipt of customs the coun- try s interests in that particular were in safe keeping. They truly were, But, after all, Mr. Broder, as was proper, viewed matters at times most kindly and humanly, and possibly was not too exacting as to the five yards of store print for Mary's dress, if he thought the purchase had made heavy inroads on the purchaser's fin. ances, But apart from such a missionary spirit many specially interesting hap- penings are narrated. Among others is wld the following. Once upon a tune, during his tenure of offiee, a citizen had crossed the "border from Uncle Bam's country, having in harge a very pretty rooster. of course the importer of the fowl! was anxious as to the amount of duty on the bird, and Mr. Broder took up the | lSUe in a very matter-of-course way. He enquired very closely as to the former place of residence of the fea- thered créature, its ancestral history, why it was coming to Canada, the { Likely location of its new home in the back concessions, and all the rest, until the owner of the fowl thought D.atters were being pretty thoroughly sited. And then Mr. Broder, in ap- paxent seriousness, broke forth after this fashion: "I will charge you no duty, whatever, if you make me one { promise "Well, what might that be?' has- | tily inquired the astonished owner. "That is," replied the officer, "that you agree to never permit this Yan- Kee=rooster to crow on a Canadian farmyard." BRUCE MAN'S GREAT IDEA. How an Enterprising Ontario Man Made a Fortune In the West.' I'heve is no lippit to the enterprise of the typical man from Bruce county. He carr be found in almost any part of the foglish speaking world, and Lie is always engaged in some profit- | able calltog that no one else has thought of! A few years ago a Bruce |. »unty lad went west with a hary | e158". excursion and decided to settle in soutbern Alberta. He made one dis- covery that other people had nade but which no one had thought of turn- ing into account. It was that in the carefied air of the foothills there is no such malady among horses as "the heaves. On further investiga- tion he discovered that the air of the (region was such that a borse could ot maintain an attack of heaves even ;" he wanted to. Now in old Ontario this malady is a curse which the vverage farmer never fathomed. He only knows that it is a sort of asthma which turns an otherwise docile beast into a roaring and unpleasant nuis- ance, unfits him for bard work and cuts down his value by about three- fourths A. poor old plug with a wironic attack of the heaves is sc p. fietic au object that farmers have | prime who became so afflicted. The | x | fine idea Horsés were needed in | southern Alberta and commanded a | high figure. So he wrote east to his | ! prother on the old place at home to { lay all the afflicted animals that he cotdd pick up for a paltry figure. The | nn onlwer had no difficulty in gathering { { gether a carload. On arrival Hi~h River they were turned out to | | grass. In a few weeks all the roaring | had ceased and the horses were fat and frisky They sold for four or five times the price they had cost an On- tario and the Bruce lad laid the vundation of a fortune which threat- oms to make him one of the big men of the west Greek vs. genate of Queen's University dissussed a - resolution to re- the wdvantage which Greek has on arts evrriculvm over other sub- jects. Some yocars ago, in order to | encourage tie study of Greek, it was provided that by takimg up that sub- ject arts studems woud be absolved from the necessity of taking some subjects, one of which was mathematics. Supporters of the reso lution' for 'a change argue that no | student should leave college without | having been obliged to give some cf | his time to the study of so impor | tant and so practical a subject as |' mathematics. On the other hand op- ponents of the resolution contend that the study of Greek is being negleeted in the achools of the country and f should be encouraged.

Livingston's for gloves TORONTO'S "OLU FORT" HISTORIC SPOT I1S'SOON TO BE RECLAIMED AND RESTCIED, It Is About a Hundred and Sixty Years Since M. de la Galissoniere Ordered a Stockade to Be Built Near Where the City Now Stands --*Old Fort" Saw Some Fighting In the War of 1812. Toronto has happily escaped what, at one time came near becoming a possible . disgrace And the thanks, not only of the city but of the pro- vince and, it may said, of the entire Dominion, are due to the On- tario Historical Bociety and those who have apparently snatched the historic "Old Fort" as it. has gener- ally been termed, from destruction, und it will remain. A Government patent relating to the Garrison Com- mon was granted to the Citv of To- ronto: recently, and this includes the area occupied by the site of the old fort, and the conditions of transfer necessitate the restoration of the works, in accordance with a plan ap- parently drawn ond dated at Quebec in the year 1816, and their permanent maintenance And this result has not been accomplished without some trouble. It has been more than once said that Toronto never showed much enthusiasm over its old land- marks, It is true that it does net, so far as the loglish regime is con- cerned, possess very much that is reclly old to conserve. Bub~it pos- sesses enough to inspire respect and provoke interest. Compared with some cities Toronto may be regarded as a place of some antiquity. There is, for example, a halo of age, in a relative sense, around the spot known for years as the "Old Fort," named "Fort York." But it is, after all, only one hundred and sixty years since the French were extending their. trading posts westerly and playing the part of "pioneers of na- tions yet to be" and treading the for- ests where the "human sea' of the poet's fancy is even now rolling. And then only, when King George III. had sat for ten years on the throne of Great Britain, was it that M. de la Galissoniere, acting for M. de la Jonquiere, ordered a stockade to be built in the locality. This was later greatly extended, and additions were made to its strength and equip- ment three years later, in the year 1752, and the position was named Fort Rouille in honor of M. le Comte de Rouille, the French Colonial Minister from 1749 to 1754. But this "posi- tion' was not on the same site as Fort York now immediately referred to. It stood a short distance farther west and through the efforts of the late Rev. Dr. Scadding a cairn was erected on the spot it occupied. While alluding to old Fort York, it may be: noticed in passing that To- ronto, later on named York, and then renamed Toronto, would not have been selected as the capital had the wishes of Bimeoe been complied with. He had decided that the locality where London now stands would have been the best situation as opening up a communication by way of the Grand River and other channels between Lakes Huron and Ontario. The archives indicate the corre- spondence which shows that Lord Dorchester decided that Toronto was the best site for the capital, and this particular spot where the fort stands was ho as a special place, owing to the "strength of its position anc the security it could offer to the naval force of the province." And the most unlearned in the matter of fortifica- tions can see that, as a site for a work commanding the" entrance to the harbor, as such strongholds had to be constructed and situated at that period, the position is a commanding one. But it was practically never more than an earth-work and stock- ade, and up to a few years ago it was, with its old guns, some eight or nine in number, and its venerable and decayed stockade, a picturesque and interesting spectacle, very suggestive of the past at an interesting crisis of the osuntry's history The old fort witnessed some s'irring scenes during the last war with the It then lay some dis- be of York with its few It wes, on the hastily crmed not in the the village hundred inhabitants approech of danger, with some 24-pounders, best of condition, nd some naval guns from the gun-brig "Duke of Gloucester," 'afterwards burned dur. ing the operations jut in spite of individual bravery and the presence of some veteran soldiers these opera- tions were not ¢rowned with success for. the British .at the moment. At the outset of the engagement which followed the American invasion and attack on the company of the New- foundland regiment and five hundred regulars and Canedisn militia, the magazine in the western battery ex- ploded/and killed a number of men end "Crippled the battery." Cuptain McNeal of the 8th Regiment was kill- ed. This was followed by a second explosion later, when the main maga- zine exploded, killing the American General Pike and also killing and wounding 250 of his followers. A rather ignominious capitulation fol- lowed. The American triumph was, how- ever, brief us in two or three days after the invasion, on the 1st of May, 1813, the enemy evacuated the place and sailed away from the scene af their barren triumph.

SALT IN MANITOBA. Monkman Manufactured Fifty Years Ago. James H It would be news to most readers . to be told that salt was produced from tie Winnipegosis brine fifty year: ago, writes J. B. Tyrrell in Canads West. James Monkman made salt af Swan River, Duck River and at Sall Springs four hundred yards from the luke. Many years ago the Hudsor Bay Co. profitably manufactured salt at Swan River, when on the Red River the price of salt was twelve shillings" a bushel--or ome hundrec weight of flour. | Monkman's works were of the most j rimitive description. When he found u spring he dug a hole five feet across wnd. five feet deep, with & couple of rough stone walls alongside, and = chimney at one end. On this con siruction he set his shallow kettles end ladled in the brine to be evapor ated by the wood fire below. Wher vinter came the kettles were turned upside' down where they were anc 1+ft there until business was resumed 11 the spring. Professor Hind found that Monk rian knew nothing of the use of the jump or of selar evaporation. The \Wimnipegosis brines are not so strong o3 those which come from the rock salt of Cheshire, and at present the cheapening of transportation to the ) rairies may have rendered them, for the time being, unprofitable. But | +hould not be surprised any day tc learn, that some enterprising manu {:wcturer has appealed to the Govern vent for the protection of a native product, with a view to satisfying 'anitoba's needs from Manitoba's tupplies, In the salt country, too, there are rocks almost ideally suited for the rianufacture of cement, and 1 found a large deposit of gypsum, from v hich, presently, no doubt, the cor nices of elegant homes will be manu factured. On the banks of the Saskatchewan, car Lake Winnipeg, I found a beach, ten per cent. of the material of which was amber of a good quality--nol cnough to make fortunes out of, sc long as it is not convenient for trans jortation, but good enough to talk «bout and good enough to use. Beyond Soundings. The Royal Canadian Yacht Club's initial navigation class last month was marked by a tragic exhibition of sereasm gone to waste. A retired lake ceptain who had set up a school for samen had been retained to impart some knowledge to the amateur tars on this particular occassion, and one member of the large audience which turned out to acquire wisdom was ('ommander Spain, R.N. The latter's toleration for the sweet simplicity of {resh water mariners' technique is not Loundless, and his efforts it were not phenomenally successful. "Young fellows come to me," began the instructor, "with nothing but two years' experience wheeling--" "What dye say?" asked the com mander in a slightly bored tone. To him "wheeling" meant only two things--pushing a truck or riding a bicycle; certain not the quartermas- ter"s or helmsman's occupation. "I said young fellows come to me with nothing but two years" experience wheeling," repeated the ex-merchant skipper in a slightly louder tone of voice. . "Wheeling? What's that?" The commander's tone by this time betray. ed irritation. But the instrucior was unruffied. He was used to uninitiated lubbers asking ull sorts of questions, and had ro idea that he was talking to a commander of the royal navy. He leaned toleranily towards his question- er and said in a friendly, confidential sort of way: "Steering, sir." Wheat From Far North.

The playgoer of thirty years ago who took an interest iu theatrical criticism recalls the writings of a bewspaper man known as the "Wool: ly Horse," who was known in his: own family circle as W. W. Williams, and was for a time on the staff of The Toronto Globe. He derived his sobriquet not from his personal ap pearance, for he was small and sanay, ! but from the fact that in winter time he wore a very shaggy overcoat. More. over, he was always attended by & large bull-dog, and as Toronto was af good deal smaller then than it, is' now, he attracted much attention on King street. He wrote in a pictures: que style, and his judgments were ex | ca ra--the final word, so to speak, on a performance. His advent in the | lobby filled the management with awe, and when he extended his august ap- proval, it was in no unmeasured terms | of praise. | First productions on any stage were not so frequent in Toronto then as they are now, but during his reign there was one event of great import. ance. Mrs. Scott Siddons, who bad. won fame and riches as a dramatic reader, decided to become an actress, | and chose that place as the city in| which she should make her first ap- pearance in that capacity. It was in a Bhakespearian role, Beatrice, in "Much Ado About Nothing, it is said; and the "Woolly Horse" prepar- ed to sling himself, | The rival morning paper, The Mail, did not at that time have a regularly | constituted dramatic editor, but on its staff were several men who could write an intelligent critique on a per- formance of the kind. Mr. Bunting picked out his most literary youth and told kim to take all the space he wanted. The young man, who was learned in Shakespeare, came back to the office, and, while admitting the Scott Siddons and her ability to recite poetry, stated that she was not an actress at all, and probably never would be. The young man was a wor shipper at the feet of Adelaide Neil- son, as was every playgoer of his gen- eration, and some of his comparisons were odious On the same morning The Glob came out, and the "Woolly Horse" had exhausted the dictionary and "Familiar Quotations" to find words of praise for the-interpre tation. Mrs. Scott Siddons purchased a thousand copies of The Globe, ard her maneger went out looking for .the man who had dared to "roast" her As the actress had many social friends in Toronto, the controversy arousci public attention, and for # few days racriminations were furious. William: gained a temporary victory, and the young man on The Mail was told ths! he need not do any more writing on Shakespeare and . the thereof--it was hinted that he was more useful as a police reporter. A few months later, however, 'Mrs. Seott | Siddons tried her fortunes in London, | England. The doyen of English eritics | at that time was Joseph Knight, of | The Athenaeum, and the young man | on The Torontc Mail watched to see | what he might say. To his delight | Knight took precisely the same view of her achievement as had The Mail | after her first appearance on any stage. His critique was reprinted, and | the "Woolly Horse' sustained a tardy | defeat. | It was Williams who accompanied | the Earl of Dufferin through the | Northwest Territories for The Globe! when the Governor-General made his | trip across the prairies. He traveled | by buckboard, and one reason why he was assigned for the task was that | he had been all over the Northwest | trails some years previously before | he had struck Toronto. At one point | the representatives of certain of the | tribes were assembled to do homage | to Her Majesty's Viceroy, and ane of the chiefs of the Crees made a speech in his own tongue. It was noticed | that he made pointed reference to The Globe correspondent who was present taking notes, looking at him | pointedly sand saying something in a genial tohe after the formal words of | welcome and homage had been utter | ed. The Governor-General was curious to know what he had said, and it transpired that the chief had deelared | that the tribe had felt additionally | honored by the faet that he had brought their "little red-haired bro- | ther" with him. Williams afterwards | went south and became the leading writer on sports in the city of New | Orleans, and is said to be stijj alive | in the south. U. 8. Money In Canada.
