A Complete Little Community Is Be i ing Planted In Rockies. | 'Switzerland is not in America, but those on this continent; who wish to have a glimpse of Swiss life jn Swiss sittings, after. a few months, will not have to cross the Atlantic to obtain it. The lrttle European republic is not to be moved bodily fromgwhere in plenty could be found f«° a score or more of Switzerlands in the Canadian Rockies --but a typical Bwiss village is to be created that will give visitors to that 4 wonderful sea of mountaing a very comprehensive idea of the home, the habits and the customs. of the hardy mountaineers from across the sea. A permanent home for the corps of Swise guides who are annually brought over by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to assist mountain- climbers in their ascents is being established in a part of the Rockies that will suit their native character- istics and afford them during months of otherwise , comparative ( i ample opportunities for fu velopment of strenuous ou letic sports. It will give t their families a new Fome in this new land, and, while commgéncing on an unpretentious scale, will doubtless develop into a large settlement, peo- pled by a hardy class of self-reliant adventurous men who knew the ways to the summits of untrod peaks as the average man knows the highways and byways of his native city. It will add to the picturesqueness of the surroundings, and furnish a pleasing and interesting 'sight to the great brotherhood of nomads who are con- tinually passing' It will be a.develop- {the new Switzerland in Canada. The site which has been choseh for the future Swiss villages of Canada lies in the province of British Colum: bia on the north side of the main line of the Canadian 'Pacific Rail way, and the first village will be situated at the first western mile. stone adjoining the quaint Canadian village of Golden. Golden embraces within its borders the point of union of the Kicking Horse and the Col- umbia Rivers Here the latter, brown, slow and solemn, finds pulses quickened, the volume of its flow increased and a change ef hue given to the colors of its waters by the tempestuous entrance of the gla- cial flood of the Kicking Horse as it speeds on its way from the Great Di- vide of the Rockies. On every side of the site mountains of varying con- tour rise above the small plateaus. To the east tre the steep, sun-kissed bald peaks ¢f the Rocky Mountain range: to the west and to the south are seen the more gradual and well. wooded slopes of the Selkirks, which rise in undulating benches to majes- tice heights, while coursing across it in three different directions are waters of the two rivers. Within close range of the western reaches of the Selkirks on the north bank of the Columbia River lies, sloping to the south, the old farm- stead on which the romance-pictured Swiss cottages are to be erected. Along its eastern side foams Hospital Creek, while through the centre trickles a small stream fed by lipid springs' from - the foothills. wooded mountains to the south are favorite haunts of deer and ; the Columbia River teems with fish which are good for eating; the high rocky peaks to the north, which for nearly every month in the year are snow-capped, are famous as the home of the mountain goat, mountain eheep and the grizzly bear.

' Rev. W. T. Allison, Ph.D., who was | recently appointed professor of Eng- lish literature at Wesley College, Uni- | versity of Manitoba, Winnipeg, al- ready is taking quite a prominent place in the educational life of the west. Dr. Allison, though only thir ty-six years old, has qualified as a \eacher, preacher, author, r gud journalist. And it is interesting to note that his literary gifts are ap- preciated in Manitoba as they were in Ontario. In addition to his col- lege work, he preaches frequently in Winnipeg, contributes one of the newspapers of that city, and gives a lecture once a fortnight to aslarge literary club in Portage la Prairie. For the benefit of this club he discusses such thorny subjects as the laws of the drama and the art of play-building. But the club members digest them with delight and pay well for the lectures, thus displaying thirst for knowl and generosity such as would rarely be met with in an Ontario town of the same size. Prof. Allison says the members of the faculty at Wesley College are | wonders. They never squabble among themselves as professors often do in colleges in the effete East. A Good Joke on Smyth. W. R. Smyth, M.P. for Algoma, made a mistake once. At a levee or scmething in Ottawa, he waz ap- preached by a venerable-looking gen- tlerpan who, holding out his hand; sad: Ppt .

Prime. Minister. There. is sbugi-- | dant. internal evidence that it is a | { long distance "view: Sir. Wilfrid | Laurier, whose name has been un- | | usually - prominent lately, is | ial politics, By birth a French-Cana- | {dian" he began life as a barrister, | | and very quickly acquired a large | practice. When only thirty, he en- | | tered the political field as a member'! {of the Quebec Provincial Assembly. | | His success as a politician was estab- | { ished, and comparatively early in | {%ife he was made Minister of Inland | | Revenue. After twenty years he be- | came the recognized leader of the | Liberal party in Canads. In 1896 he | was made Premier. Few statesmen | are go broad-minded or maintain so | | wide an outlook as Sir Wilind. His | | personal charm, gracious old-world | courtesy, and dignity are as well known as his picturesque figure, with | the massive brow, keen glance, and | { firmly-knit mouth.® Bir Wilfrid's ora- | | tory is equally famous. His delivery | {is grave, measuged, and full of dig- | nity. Sir Wilind's speeches are in- | variably - spiced with telling anec- "dotes. He has a ready wit which hd ! | rarely hesitates to turn upon a poli- | tical opponent. He was addressing a meeting on one occasion when a port. | ly individual in the audience; a large | | employer of labor, interrupted him, ! charging him with "fattening on the | éweat of the people." Bir Wilfrid, slim" and cool, waited until quiet had replaced the commotion this remark had made. Then he ob served, "I leave those present to de- | cide which of us is the more exposed | | to the charge." Some of his epigrams | { have become household words in | | Canada. Once, wishing to illustrate | some political point, he told a de- lightful story about a school be had | just. visited. When he entered, a | teacher was giving a class some les- sons on 'the dog. Things were pro- | greseing quite satisfactorily when the | Prtmier asked: "Why does a dog | hang ite tongue out of its mouth?" Many reasons were cuggested, until one small boy hed up his hand. "To | balance its tail," said he.
