INTHE PIONEER DAYS ALEXANDER HENRY WILL LIVE IN CANADIAN ANNALS. Famous Trader Whose Name is Associ ated With the Building of Canada Over a Century Ago Followed the British Army in An Attempt to Gain a Share of the Pur Trade From the French. A pame which will stand out in the annals of pioneering in Canada is that of Alexander Henry, a name that sug- gests adventure; the fur-trade, when it! was prosecuted amid daily danger; the Far West, when it was a wild, unexplor- ed country; mercantile life in Montreal, when Montreal was a primitive town in comparison with the city of to-day. Alexander Henry experienced all those conditions, aud played a large part in the affairs of those early tigies. His re- markable career cannot be all retold here, because no one article could do jus- tice to it. All that is now proposed, is to relate the mavner of his coming to Canada, for that early chapter of his eareer is full of thrilling adventure; and it enables the reader to understand what sort of country it was that lay between Montreal and Kingstou, when all this country passed to the British Crown. But, first, a few words about 'Alexan- der Henry and his origin. He was born in what was then the British Colony of New Jersey, in the year 1739, just twenty years before the battle of the Plains of Abraham, and thirty-six years before the breaking out of the War of the American Revolution. During the greater part of the years of that war he was a resident of Montreal. His parents, it is said, came to New Jersey from the west of England, and were conmected with Matthew Henry the famous Biblical commentator. Of his early life littlé is known, but judging from the style of his book, and from the position he took in official and commercial circles, it is evident that he received a good English education; and it is quite likely that before coming to Canada he had obtained some experience in the fur trade in one of the establish- ments at Albany on the Hudson River. It will be remembered that at the opening of the spring of 1760 the British forees, then bringing to a close the Seven Years' War, were preparing for the final move that was to result in the eapture of New France or Canada. During the summer Murray moved up from Quebec, Haviland advanced down Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River, while the main body of the British force under Amherst sailed from Oswego, on Lake Ontario, through the Lake and down the St. Lawrence. A Follower of the Army. Among the civilians who accompanied Amherst's army was Alexander Henry, then in his twenty-first year, and who had set out in a "premature attemp to share in the fur trade of Canada directly on BICYCLES BICYCLE SUNDRIES BICYCLE MUNSON 413 Spadina Avenue, atalogue.

At only one point did the French at- tempt to arrest the advance of Amherst's flotilla 'containing an army of 10,142 men, besides 700 Indians, under the fam- ous Superintendent, Sir William John- That attempt was made at what' is now known as Chimney Island, about five miles east of or below the town of Prescott. At that time'the French had a wooden fort on the island, called Fort Levis, and the fighting that preceded the capture of the fort was practically the last battle of the war that won Canada for Britain, Fort Levis held out for four days, and then surrendered; and then John- son's Iroquois prepared to kill the French prisoners. Johnson and Amherst would not allow the savages to commit the butchery, whereupon they began to sulk and threatened to abandon the ex- pedition. Johnson told them they might all go home, but whether they went or stayed, /the lives of prisoners of war would be protected. Three-fourths of the Indian auxiliaries then took to their canoes and paddled away, returning to their cantonments on the south side of Lake Ontario. Amherst found the rapids of the St. Lawrence more deadly than the fire of the guns at Fort Levis, for while running the. Cedars and the Cascades, he lost forty-six boats and eighty-four men, be- sides having eighteen boats badly dam- aged. Alexander Henry accompanied the flotilla with three boats loaded with merchandise; and in the rapids in which the eighty-four soldiers Jesiahod, Henry's boats were wrecked and the goods lost. henry came very near losing his life also. "'I saved myself,"' he writes in his journal, "by gaining the bottom of one of my boats, which lay among the rocky shelves, and on whieh I continued for some hours, and until I was kindly taken off by one of the General's aides de-camp." Henry continued the journey with the Army, which landed unop; at La chine on September 6, and at once ad: vanced against Montreal. The Army en- cam on the ridge now forming the Priest's Farm, the site of the Montreal Seminary. Off to the southeast, along the river front, lay the little city, now surrounded by enemies, for Murray from had arrived at the lower end of island, while Haviland from the south Henry. He had reached Montreal, but without goods with which to begin his fur trade. However, as soon as peace of the there. forest, aid whicn yrefanted t6 thé no other change, than from thisk woods, to the surface of a frozen river." Buch then was the country betweea Prescott and Montreal, through which now the urs. Off for Montreal. Accompanied by a guide and interpre- ter, Jean Baptiste Bodoine, Henry set out from the fort on suowshoes, an equip- ment he had never used before and which he found very difficult to imagine "I did not avoid frequent falls," he writes; 'and, when down, I was scarcely able 1 to rise."' | At sunset on the firstsday they reach- ed an Indian encampment of six lodges and about twenty braves. As these In- dians had only recently been employed by the French agai the English, Henry very naturally did not consider them desirable:or safe companions, but the interpreter insisted upon passing the night with them, assuring Henry that be was personally acquainted with these In- dians and that they were well disposed. Greatly fatigued with the day's tramp on the Amowshee, Henry at once went to sleep in one of the lodges. Bodaine bad brought-on his back a small keg of rum which he opened dur- ing the evening, "mot only for himself but for the easion of nis friends." The inevitable result followed. The In- dians became intoxicated and, almost in- variably, intoxicated Indians are danger- ous. ry was suddenly awakened by a kick in the b: followed immediate ly by an Lot a » Upon eyes he sw a brave, the one og. kicked him, struggling with his companions and several squaws, who were endeavoring to restrain mands ferocity. Springing to his feet Henry received a slash across the wrist from a knife that his former assailant bad aimed as his throat. old squaw then took him by just Sataed; he had upon him only the clothing in which he slept, and it was now one o'clock in the morning, and the weather was bitterly cold. By repeating the name, Bodoine, the old squaw at last was made to under- stand that the guide was wanted. Point ing to a large tree behind which Henry was to conceal himself, she set out to find the guide. Reaching the tree Henry seated himself in the snow and awaited developments. After waiting about an hour the guide came up, but about as much intoxicated as the Indians themselves. However, he .was able to understand what was requir- ed, and to fetch the snowshoes Henry had left in the lodge when he fled from the drunken savages. The guide then pointed to a beaten path which led into the forest, and he told Henry to follow it. With all possible speed Henry left the vicinity of the encampment, They tramped on until sunrise, when they "came to a solitary hunting lodge, built with the branches of fir. trees, and of whieh the only oceupants were an In- dian and his wife, who received the trav- ellers most hospitably. After quenching their thirst with melted smow, Henry and Bodoine sat down to a breakfast of roasted venison, with which they were plentifully supplied. In his hunting the Indian bad been very successful, and he had on hand an sbundant suppl venison, which he shared with Henry, filling his buge wallet, before he and the guide resumed their journey. That even- ing the travellers camped on the bank of the St. Lawrence, and after making a fire they roasted some of their venison aud refreshed themselves. At the Long Sault. While Henry rested himself beside the fire, the guide searched the shore and was fortunate enough find a small bark canoe which bad m left there, in tue beginning of the winter by some wandering Indian. Henry and his guide were now at the head of the Long Sault, the rapids which certain companies are now seeking permission to dam for the purpose of developing power, a project that is being stoutly resisted on the ground that it would interfere with the navigation of the river. Of course, these rapids do not freeze over, and the guide proposed that they navigate them in the old canoe. Henry knew nothing about the man agement of a eanoe and after his exper: ence of the preceding summer be wa adverse to trusting himself to the swift waters of the great river. Assured b: the guide that there was less danger i running the rapids than in encountering a band of Indign hunters known to bn encamped on the bank below, Henry eon sented to take the risk and attempt th rapids. After stopping the leaks in the ol ¢anoe as completely as possible, they 5% out, but before proceeding more than®: mile the canoe became almost full o water, and it was with great difficuit, they found a safe landing place. Alon; the shore there was a wide strip of icc too strong to be pushed through and toc weak to be walked on. Onee more on dry land Heury decidec that he would face the Indian hunter rather than again trust himself to th frail cance and the waves of the Long Sault; put the guide told him that he had no choice in the matter, becauce the) had landed on an island. At break of day they set out on snow shoes down the fromen river over which blew a gale laden with snow, which at times was so thick as to prevent them seeing the shore. Towards noon the storm abated, and turning in towards the. north shore, they made a fire and cooked the last of the venison fhe Indian hunter had given them. During the afternoon they came up with a cariole or sledge, and Heory bargained with the driver to car ry him to the Ce distance ©! twenty-four miles for eight dollars. There a guide was secured and Henry finished his tramp to Montreal undaunted by the his journey the trader laid plans for kis famous west- ern trip.

The "Roarifigest Town In Canada" Cannot Wait for Map-Makers. When a Canadian goes to England he has to learn that he has an accent He may have been told so before, but he did not believe it, In England he is forced to feel that his voice is harsh, and fioally to admit that he { has a peculiarity of which {Englishmen are justified in describ. ing as "the Canadian accent." Yet we are somewhat at a loss to know where the Canadian backwoodsman, quoted by The London Chronicle, {learned to talk. A representative of that journal, traveling from Toronto to 'the new town of Cochrane, fell in with the backwoodsman and they conversed. Here is his account of the interview: "Cochrane's goin' ter be thar roar. inges' town in Canada, so thar!" The backwoodsman paused, gave a savage chew, cxpectorated violently, and shifted the plug to the other side of his mouth in a manner that con: veyed the idea of having imparted some highly important information. "Well, where is Cochrane, any- It's not on the map," I ven- Map! Oh--" and he plumped his hand savagely on my shoulder. "Young'un, you're a tenderfoot. You'll soon larn that maps ain't no account out 'ere. They can't keep up with the growth of the country. We ain't got no call for maps. You jump on the train, book to Cochrane, and they'll' put you right down thar sure." 1 did book my seat, and same hours later tumbled out of the Pullman with a crowd of travelers. Evidgntly there were plenty of people who knew all about Cochrane and how to get there, even if I didn't. It was indeed a motley throng. Lantern-jawed Americans, swarthy Italians, fair-skinned Scandinavians, a stolid German, two Servians, and typical examples of one or two other nation- alities elbowed one another. Each shouldered his sack containing the whole of his worldly possessions, and shambled his way to a wooden build- ing near by. "We drop a crowd like that every night," commented the conductor. "They're bound for the camps." Bituated as it is on the junction of two great railways, the London cor- respondent describes Cochrane as "The Clapham Junction of Canada." speech The Accuser Exposed. The athletic parson is no rare char- acter in these modern days. In fact, it is nothing unusual to see a clergy- man of the congregation leading the amusements. More than fifty years ago, such a course would have been regarded with douwvtful eye. the First," the author tells of how Mr. R. B. Nelles, who was principal of Newburgh Academy and after- wards chancellor of Victoria Univer- sity, was grievously misunderstood because he insisted on sharing the boys' games of ball and hockey. As he was a local preacher of the Metho- dist Church, some of the church authorities summoned him before them to account for his interest in "dangerous and soul-destroying' amusements. The pastor, Mr. San- derson, who was a genial Irishman, was in sympathy with the accused and waited until the prime mover against him had spoken. ? "You will hardly believe it," said the pastor referring to the chief ac- cuser, "but I have at hand proof that in the evening of the day of his last visit to Napanee, he bought a ticket for the circus, and, with his hat drawn over his eyes, so that he might not be recognized, slipped into the big tent and enjoyed right heartily the whole performance, trapeze, bal- let-dancers and all. And this is the man who would hound our brother Nellés to the death of his well-earned Christian reputation! Brethren, I ask for another motion." Needless to say, the young local preacher was exonerated and the hypocritical ae- cuser was brought to shame. It was also disclosed that Mr. Nelles had taught the boys to play ball in a Christian spirit. Canada's Sea-Dog. Rear-Admiral Kingsmill is return. ing to Canada.
