There one might find probubly may still find -numbers | of "remittance men," young, middle. | aged, and old, English and European, even Canadian. The typical "remit. | tunce man' might be. deseribed as a young old-country man who, having no decided ambition, has been sent by his friends to the new country, either in the hope that the change of conditions may stimulate his ambi- tion, or, if that hope is foredoomed, that he may live his slack life whete it will not discredit his family. It is | moat unfortunate that in Western | Canada so many subjects of the former worthy experiment should be | discredited at their start by a name earned by the examples of the latter | most unworthy expedient. For, as | has already been observed, specimens of the latter class are continually in evidence. They may be seen at all | stages of their useless careers, drink- { ing at the bars of little Western | hotels in the first flush of their per- | jodic wealth, or painfully working | for bare board and lodging 'till the | next dole comes 'along, loafing, barely tolerated, around the clubs in town, or idling the months away in the country till there is a fresh purseful to dissipate. They are of all sorts and of all chagacters, from the me rem | his own gives ize it--they are large. the community at This is wasted it a dismal picture of: , but it is a true one. OF man is a "remittance man" he had far better kept at nome, where the amenities pf civiliza. | tion exert a firmer check dn his idle propensities, than be ir off to where there is less restraint. In the | latter case there is no salvation for him, unless, while be is still young and can summon some energy, his people cut off his supplies and he is foroed of necessity to work and earn. But while this is a true picture, it is only so of a small proportion of those who are for some part of their career in receipt of remittances. The "re- mittance'" idea is good, and in many cases its application is fruitful of the very best results. Nothing could be more cruel than unnecessarily to pitch Torth the --ordinary~-yeungster, | possibly straight from school, into the midst of--to him--entirely strange | conditions, without supplies to enable him to profit from society, or to take advantage of opportunities 'that will | come when he has gained the neces- | sary experience, or "horse-sence,'" to | see and to grasp them.

But, on the other hand, too much British capital goes to finance Canada unaccompanied by British heads and hands, and it is no bad plan to sustain the younger repre. sentatives of the Old Country through the probable rebuffs which might otherwise cripple, their energy and initiative in their early lives in their new home. Emporis HITS THE SOUTH TRAIL. Robert W. Service Is Walking From New York to New Orleans. Mr. Robert W. Service, author of "Songs of a Sourdough," "Ballads of # Cheechako," and recently of a nov- el, has hit a new trail. . When the royalties from his famous Yukon poems ran up to $5,000 a year, Mr. naturally wearied of his rou- tine work as a clerk in the Bank of Commerce at White Horse, in the Land of the Midnight Sun. 80 he threw down pen and ledger, 'and dis- appeared. For a while, no one but his publishers knew where he was. Recently he turned up in New York. But the latest news of him is that he has tired of the sights and smells of Gotham, and has hit the trail again He has started to mush it on foot from Manhattan Isle to New Orleans, part- ly, as he says, for physical exercise, and partly to pick up material for lit- erary purposes.

Baden-Powell. : Mr, Bervice does not look upon his tramp from New York to New Or- leans as an advertising exhibition. No account of his proposed jauiit was sent to the newspapers before he started out this week. The poet is simply fol- lowing an inclination. Years ago, be: fore he went to the Yukon country and before he wrote anything at all, he tramped along the Pacific coast, through California, and further north, meeting with all kinds of experiences; and learning of the ways of many type of rough men, some of which he has so graphically pictured in his re- markable poems. A Soldiers' Church. The military church: of any garrison town is nearly always picturesque, for it assumes something of the glamor of romance which- hangs about the redcoat. The military church of To- ronte-is-St-John the Evangelist. which has been attended by the members of the garrison for nearly half a century. , Situated as it is in an out-of-the-way part of the eity, the church is known to very few ple, but among the not- able men who made it their place of worship have been Hon: John Hil. liard Cameron, Col. Mountain, and many of the best known military men of Toronto. The present rector, Rev Alex. Williams, has labored for years in that parish and numerous changes have taken place in his time. When it is said that among Mr. Williams' parishioners are some who have been shtistatied; jrapated for confirmation, and i by him, it need hardly be added that he can remember when the streefs near Bt. John's belonged to the fashionable section of the city. Time has produced a great alteration and the distriet is now a poor one, cramped and smothered by great fac- tories, but St. John's still yh om the distinction of being regarded as the soldiers' Shure, The picturesque lit- tle buildi s beginning to show the wear and » of the years, and in- deed the siructure seems to feel this fact itself.s At the recent jubilee ser- vices, Bishop Sweeny was referring in glowing terms to the erection of the "splendid edifice," when as though to rebuke the eloquence a piece of laster fell from ceiling to the with a resounding thud. .

It was a heavy load, which required the services of eighteen men: They did- nt all carry it at once, but relieved each other in relays. Along Hoskin avenue and across Queen' s Park. they struggled with their burden. In the meantime, one of the-men had 'phoned to a lady friend in the Hall, to inform her of the ing cavaleade, and to ask the girls to be ready to receive the visitors.

"It such a chair were established," asked the reporter, "would it be in connection with the Faculty of Appli- ed Science?" "Yes," replied the president. "Prof. Ellis was investigating the subject just before I took my position here, and he made a-favorable recommend- ation." When the Joke Was on Me. Dr. Clark, M.P., for Red Deer, Al- berta, and who formerly practiced medicine at Newcastle-on-the-Tyne, tells the following story which was certainly "one on him." Walking down the street one Sun- day morning feeling at peace "with Himself and the world and particular- ly benevolent, due perhaps to the Sab- bath feeling in the air but more prob ably to the frook coat and top hat he was wearing, he saw coming towards him two small urchins the older of whoin,--a boy of perhaps ten or elev- en Years, --was puffing vigorously at a cigarette. As they drew near the doctor placed his hand on the should- er of the youthful smoker and said in his best paternal manner "My boy, do you know that if you smgke cigar- ettes while so young you 'will never grow up to be a big man?" 'Immedi- ately ~the smaller urchin piped up, "But 'e's oi ing to be a jockey, sir." Must © Change Name Again. Ontario has almost forgotten the story of Da id Kidd, "the Toronto evangelist, who, for the rescue in Chi- cago of the daughter of an Australian millionaire from a life of shame, was to be presented with thousands of dollars for the¢ building of a rescue home for women in Toronto. The daughter died, and the Australian mil- lionaire adopted David Kidd as his son on the condition that he take his adopted father's name. Accordingly, a deed poll was secured at Osgoode Hall, and David Kidd be- came David Burn. Then David Burm set sail for Australia to get the money for the great work in Toronto. The story is recalled by the an- cement at Osgoode Hall that an- on deed poll has been secured To change his name again. He finds that he should be Burns, instead of Burn, and to effect the change the wheels of the legal machinery had to be set in motion again. Was J. J. Hill's Boss. William M.
