That little garden was the only place of recreation the little nuns had; and there they walked and meditated. This exercise and their walk to early Mass at St. James Church, on the corner of Bt." Denis and St. Catherine streets, were their only outings. As a rule, they wore a black habit, with a small white frill projecting from that part which framed the face; on feasts days it was quite a treat to see them walk to and from the church in their special habit with the crim- , son front, upon which the face of the Money-Back, Guarantee Give Robin Hood Flour two fair trials.

Tradition has it that they glept in coffins, which were mounted on trestles, and contained a pillow and a blanket, and that the only other furniture of their rooms or cells con- sisted of a little table with a crucifix and a death's head. At least one such-eell existed, fur- nished in exactly that manner, but whether they actoally slept in the coffin is a matter of uncertainty in view of statements made, by those who should know, at the present day. Suffice it that ten years ago some of the little nuns d the numerous faithful who were visitors to the strange comvent that they did. The rigor of their devotions is not however, to be doubted even at the present time.' They spent seven and a half hours at prayer each day. They retired to sleep at hali-past eight, and arose at midnight. Then, like the Trappists, who, however, do not sleep again, they devoted an hour and a half, when all the busy world was asleep, to more religious exercises, after which they retired once more, to rise again for the spiritual and mundane tasks of the day, at five o'clock. On- Fridays they scourged one an- other with the same knotted scourges of many lashes which the Trappists use in their devotional system. And, in reading this, remember that when the order was, so to speak, at the height of its prosperity, the Sister Superior was apparently not much more than twenty-five years old, and the little nuns ranged in age all the | way down from twenty to fifteen. All this may seem strange to those who pride themselves on being world. ty wise, the scoffers, and cynics; but careful investigations made at that time showed that the matter was trag- gically real to those little women They believed themselves called to the work they were doin; they be. lieved that they were serving the Lord in a fashion he could not fail to approve of, and many are the faithful to be found to-day who will tell you that not one, but several miraculous cures, were effected through their piety and good works. For some years they quietly and peacefully went their devotional way, and then the fame of their piety, and the reported cures which had been wrought | through their prayers, brought unpleasant notoriety. ; They were never officially recog- nized as a religious order by the heads of the Church. As the then Sister Superior said: . "We are only verbally recognized, but God is good and we must have patience. We have paly been founded a few years, and the. little sisters of St. Joseph were founded forty-six years before they were recognized." For a while alter that the news pers throughout Canada and the nited States published sensational accounts of 'the Little Convent and the Little Sisters. Then suddenly it was stated that some of them had gone to form a branch comvent at Bideford, Maine; still later, that the others had gone up North to establish a convent like the Trappist Monastery, and after that came oblivion, as it were During its actual existence the con- vent was called the Mysterious Con vent.

Arthur Lewis Sifton, | Chief Justice of Alberta, who, it is { stated, has'the refusal of the Premier. i ship of the province if he cares to | leave the safe seclusion of the Bench i for the uncertain honors of active i political life, is the elder brother of | the Hon. (Rifford Sifton and son of | Mr. John Weight Sifton, of Brandon. ; who many years ago had the honor of being Speaker of the Manitoba Legis. lature. Judge Siften, who is a B.A. of Vietoria University, Cobourg, sesses one valuable quality which his brother does not have in any conspi- cuous' degree, that of great platform and personal magnetism, and it is probably on this quality, as well as on his natural ability, that the Alber. ta Liberals are reckoning in inviting him to be their leader. The father of these well-known brothers has been an active pioneer in various fields of national activity, He in 1860 organ- ized the first big company to exploit Canadian petroleum, remaining con- nected with that industry in b- ton County until 1874, when he went to Manitoba to undertake some tele- graph and railway construction work, With two other gentlemen whose interests he soon after bought out, he ing and maintaining for five years a rh line from the city of Win- nipeg to Fort Pelly, and for the clear. ing of the right of way, a hundred! feet wide for a distance of about three! hundred miles, for the then contem- i plated Canadian Paeific Railway. Tho' natural obstacles encountered were appalling, The fearful wet seasons of 1876, 1877 and 1878 flooded the coun- try along the line for forty miles east of Lake Manitoba and sixty miles west, to a depth, in some places, of six feet, making it impossible to keep the line-up. As the Government re- fused to make any allowanee for this, | the loss was very great. Some idea may be formed of the difficulty of performing work of that character in. Manitoba at that time when it is | stated that one winter, i having run out at one of Mr. Sifton's {camps, he had to send supplies by dog-trains ome hundred and sixty miles, and then have it carried on men's backs sixty miles further, mak- ling the cost of freight from Winnipeg | to the eamp twelve cents per pound. At no time during the best past of the, | season, could the same goods be trans-: { ported over the route at less than five { cents per pound freight. In the early | eighties Mr. Sifton removed to Bran-: don and went in for wheat raising, | being one of the pioneers of the dis- triet, 'and raising from 10,000 to: 18, 000 bushels of grain a year. Mr. Sifton, senior, came to Canada from Tipperary, Ireland, in 1832, his! ancestry on both sides,. however, be-' ing purely English. Prizes For AMalfa Fields. Saskatchewan is clearing the" floor for a great contest. The event will not be spectacular, bus its effect will be) | greater than that of any previous | movement that" has taken place in, the agricultural competition in the growing of alfalfa. This movement | was inaugurated at the Agricultral | Bocieties' Convention held at Regina in January last when it was decided! that a prize of $1,000 would be award-: ed for the best ten-acre field of alfal- fa in Saskatchewan in 1914. Since | then others have volunteered assist- | ance. But the competition has out- | grown the first plan; ten times $1,000 would not be more than sufficient to | finance the competition as it is now planned to conduet it. | The Agricultural Societies' Conven- i tion favored the plan of having the | competition conducted by a commit- tee appointed by the Minister of Agri. culture. The committee named by the Minister consists of the Dean of the | College of Agriculture for Saskatche- wan, the superintendent of the Ex- perimental Farm, Indian Head, and ! the president of the Grenfell Agricul- aay Bociety, with the director of extension work in the College of Agri- culture as secretary. The convener | of the committee, Dean Rutherford, asked for a meeting of the committee to prepare rules to govern the con- test, and this was held at Indian | Head. The approved plan provides for a division of the province into four parts. the six best fields of alfalfa in each of the districts. The prizes will be as follows: --First, $500; second, $400; third, $300; fourth, $200; fifth, $100; sixth, $75.
