DAYS OF THE GIANTS REMINISCENCES OF BIG MEN OF TU CAXADA. : Sn Who Lived and Exerted Great Influ- ence in the Dominien==The Best Debater Was Hon. Alex. Mac- kenzie. "There were glants i fihose uzys, How often does the old ught come to mind as we dip imto the political annals of the past, or listép to ihe re- miniscences -of veterans 'who can go back to the good old times which, we are so frequently reminded, have ong since gone, never to return! It was with 'some such reflection that a gathering of members of Par- liament of both parties heard one of Canada's most distinguished judges-- . 4 Sir Louis' Davies--recall some of his political experiences the other even- ing in Ottawa. The oceasion--unique of its kind--was an oyster supper ten- | dered in the House of Commons res- taurant by the representatives of Prince Edward Island to their fellow members, with whom were associated the members of the Press Gallery. The feast was an eye-opener to all present who had never appreciated the qualities of Prince Edward Is land's famous product. The Malpeque, fresh from its eastern bed, and serv- ed up in a variety of forms, proved u delicacy that completely captivated the Parliamentary diners, and gave a boost to the Hg ¢ little .island that should materially hasten the con- struction of the long-talked of tunnel. Sir Louis Davies, himself a Prince Edward Islander, was one of the guests, and, as was natural in one who found himself addressing a gath- ering within the walls of Parliament, he was tempted to indulge the reminis- cent vein. As one of the most active members of the old Liberal Opposi- tion under Hon. Edward Blake, he came into close contact with the poli- tical giants of thdse days, and none had better opportunities of appraising their worth. "I used to regard Sir John A. Mac- | donald as the inearnation of political evil," he declared, "but I have lived to change that opinion" == a frank acknowledgment that none would have appreciated more than the late Con- servative Premier himself, coming as it did from the man who was one of his most persistent and troublesome erities. 3 To Hon. Edward Blake, Bir Louis Davies paid a striking tribute. "In my time," he said, "1 have had the privilege of meeting some of the most distinguished men of both Britain and thé United States, but for sheer in- tellectual power, Edward Blake was, in his prime, the peer of the very greatest," It may surprise many of the young- er generation to kmow that, in Sir Louis' opinion, the best debater the Dominion House of Commons has ever known was Hon. Alexander Macken- zie. Few require to be told of the sterling character of Mackenzie, but an anecdote related by Bir Louis may. i * # | nights, which, as Bir Louis put it, *! i . § "Phone 041, wil ELECTRO PLATING Partridge & Sons have put in a plant for all kinds of Plating.

On leav- ing the Parliament Buildings, Mac- -kenzie led his companion to that part of the hill from which a view can be obtained of the Ottawa Valley-- admittedly one of the most charming prospects to be seen anywhere--and gating on the magnificent scene, as if under a spell, the silence of the night broken only by the eerie roar of the Chaudiere Falls in the dis- tance. Eventually, after what seemed like a period of silent prayer, Mac kengie, with head bared looked heav- enwards and murmured, "And yet they say there is no God!" "It was one of the most impressive moments in my life," said Sir Louis "and the finest sermon I ever hea delivered." Western Methods.

H. R. Bond, who is con- sidered one of the cleverest woman in 'Winnipeg, about two years ago con- ceived the idea of establishing a Chil- | dren's Hospital in that city. She ! wanted it placed in the foreign quar- i ter, where the sick children of the ignorant poor could be cared for. Mrs. | Bond is not a rich woman, and al- though many sympathized with her | project, some people interested in the General Hospital argued that the chil- idren's ward of the city institution | was dll-sufficient. The first step in | her eampaign was a literary tea, at | {'which, perhaps ten talented Winnipeg | women, read or sang original com-, ¢ a of cents being | cha .+ This proved so popular that (anotirer of similar nature was ar | ranged, With the money realized in this way a small Children's Hospital was started last February in the poorest quarter, and has cared for hundreds {of cases.

The founder of the Children's Hospital has made it a pet charity of Winnipeg.

Forgotten Military Structure Is Laid Bare by Workmen: ihe ruins of an old French fort or outpost have been discovergd near the i corner of St. Catherine and Mountgia Montreal. The fort, or rather § { , was built of heavy cedar tim<' Originally it had a frontage of { about twelve feet, a depth of about tern feet, and a height of ten feet. { The flooring of the building was found in good condition, the side walls were i somewhat shattered, and the greater art of the roof was missing. It is thought that this was the west: | ern entrance to the settlement, and { that here a pazly was always sjation- {ed 10 be on the lookout for ible | enenifes. The building was cbnstruet- i ed of heavy timbers, part of the bark i hewn away and the remainder a'covering. In the centre of hh of the timbers on the side walle were largé wooden 'pins. No nails werd used in the construction of the ! building. The land surrounding the fort is vet filled with springs, and it | is thought that a canoe route as well as a peth passed this block house. The foundation of the" fort had been ! laid on the thick €lay about two feet below the surface. After the fort was deserted earth piled over it by land- slides and washouts from the moun- tain to such a height that it is now five feet below the surface The timbers are in nearly perfect condition, being preserved in the | moist soil. The marks of the axe are still plain on those which have been | hewn. Many opinions prevail as to the age of the fort, but it is certain that the building is one of the first put up on the island. In the soil directly above the fort stood, until recently, a giant elm tree over a century old." Some of the roots of this tree had spread around the walls of the fort so that the was well over the century The workmen who made the i side | building | mark discovery were not awate of the prob- 08" | able historical value of the building. They tore dowh the side walls so that now only the flooring remains in its | original position. The other timbers have been sdved, however, and after further investigation regarding the fort, it is probable that it will be re: construeted. A number of authorities on the history of old Montreal, have been consulted, and the concensus of opinion is that this was the most western point of the settlement. It is expected that further research will brirg forth some relics which may de- termine" more accurately the age of | the little building. Near at hand a | number of sea shells have been found ia the soil; and Some distande away a hryre boulder of "blue stone," weigh- ng about twelve tons, was found em. bedded in the clay.

James Simpson of Toronto Now Holds 2 Important Post. throughout Canada oecurred. when James Simpson was elected to the position of chairman of the Toronto Board of Education. James Simpson has certainly won his spurs by his own endeavors. He is only 36 years old, but he is well- known, especially among labor mens from codst to coast. se from the north of England, his birth. place, he had no schooling in Canada, 4 was for over three years employ- ed in the Kempton works: For seven months he was employed at the Gena- ron bicycle works, in the paint shop, and often left for home in the evening half dazed from the fumes of ben- zine, over which he had to work. Then at 18 he became "printer's devil" on The News, and learned the typographical art. He quit with others at the time of the strike, out of which emerged the publication of The Star, in which Mr. Simpson assisted. When, The Star ceased- publication for a time, he wemt to The Mail, but return. ed to The Star when it began to shine again. His aptitude for journalism led him from the mechanical to the reportorial department of his paper and for years he has been The Star's labor and municipal reporter. Years ago, the local Typographical Union showed its faith in him by electing him to the highest offices in its gift and from that he graduated into the high places of the Toronto District Trades and Labor Council, becoming its president, He has also ben vice-president of the Dominion Trades Congress and many times dele. gate to the A. F, of L. and other important gatherings. It was through his energy and re- sourcefulness that the Labor Temple now -exists in ite present prosperous condition. He was in the old school board be- fore the creation of the Board of Edu- cation. As an adherent of the Socialist par- ty, he has encountered a great deal of opposition that would otherwise have been avoided. Carrying the Socialist banners, he has been an unsuccessful candidate for mayoralty and Parlia- mentary honors. He is active in church and temperance circles, As has been intimated, Mr. Sinip- son always has a speech ready, but it is not his oratory that wins him a following. It is simply the lever that gets him into the limelight. Once they come in contact with him, people tke him. His face has g mask of the comedian but he is no mere jester, espite his constant good humor, for 1is coumtenance conceals a vast fund of native shrewdness. Bet He Hadn't Any. The marriage recently in Nebraska of Mr. W. E. Koowles, MP. for Mpose Jaw, recalls to The Ottawa Free Press an amusing incident in which the new bridegroom took part a gou- ple of sessions ago, and which illus- trates the lighter side of life at Ot tawa, of which the public hears little It was during a debate upon the Grand Trunk Pacific; says The' Free. by and when Mr. Knowles interrupted a Conservative who was speaking, the retort came back that the member for Moose Jaw would do well not to, interrupt, and that if he were wise he would hold his peace and advise his wife to buy G.T.P. stock as an investment. | Mr. Knowles did not say anything in the House; but, proceeding to the Parliamentary cafe, in a state of sim- ulated indignation, went up to a crowd of Conservative M.P.'s, who were en- joying a midnight supper, and ex- pressed his anger at the statement of the man who was orating upstairs. "How dare he drag my wife's name into a pélitical diseussion?' he said. "He: must apologize or there will be trouble." Mr. John Stanfield, of Colchester, NBS, who was among those at the supper table, and who is a stickler for the proprieties in debate, sym. pathized warmly with Mr. Knowles, and said that he would see that an apology was made. Forthwith he hied himself upstirs, and proceeding to the desk of thé man who had been speak- ing told him that he had "made a bad break" and must apologize. The stal- wart expressed his regret and promis. ed to tender an apology, and did so when the House adjourned in the wee sma' hours of moriing. But the joke came next day, when the man who had apologized learned, #0 his amazement, that Mr. Knowles was not married, and had never been married.
