Ti ides ef Pateaux and Suresnes re , on the ome hand, and eigoley in Yorkshire, England, on e other, call themselves "Sister "ities." Their sisterhood bas been mgwifested for spme ten years in a f most interesting way. . It came about like this, Sir Thomas Barclay, a distinguished English jur- i8t, who had lived some thirty years in Frunce, was talking ome day with friends about the Eutenté Cordisle, which had just been concluded. "Do you know," he sald, "why we like one another, believe ope another Lo be good fellows, and enjoy sincere friendship? 1t is because we know masses of ove nation know well the masses of another?" V'let us begin!" exclaimed M. Hulllard, ove of the company present. "1 am mayor of Surespes and member of a lot of societies in Puteaux, the neighboring town." "And 1." replied Sir Thomas, "have a bit of influence in Koighley: Let us get the gitizens of Kqighley and fbose of Suresnes and Putesux into personal relations." It was done, Keighley had about 45,000 inhabitants. The French cities had about the same number. There was a basis of equality. The English moved first. In 1905 some thjrty workmen of Keighley visited their brothers im Suresnes- Puteaux; they were entertained hos- pitably. By dint of gestures and loud tones they made themselves under- stood. They had a gorgeous time, and returned home enthusiastic. The following September thirty French workingmen made a visit to Keighley. The custom grew. Each year English and French went to see each other. At first the men only made the voyage; then they began taking their wives, and finally they exchanged children. English little ones went to Suresnes-Puteaux to learn French, and French boys and girls came to Keighley to learn Eng- lish, They exchanged gifts upon occa- gions. Suresnes-Putesdux seut to Kalghley a work of art; the latter responded with a loving cup. When the floods came in France, and the streets of Suresnes-Puteaux were inundated, the workers of Keighley raised a relief fund of a . thousand dollars for their "brothers." Get 'a 10-eent box.

He had been given a training In mathematics and engineering dt Trinity College, Dub- lin, and he was given a job by James Ross, of Montreal, on the Vietoria Railway, a crude little lumbering line. extending nerth from Lindsay into the forests of Haliburton. Young , Holt made himself very useful, and when Ross moved to Toronto as su- perintendent of the Credit Valley Railway, later absorbed by the C. P. R., he brought Holt with him. The young engineer had a good deal to do with the construction of its various extensions. In 1883 James Ross moved again ----- going to the West as superintendent of construc. tion on the prairie division of the C. P. R. -- and again be took young Holt with him. About the same time William Mac- kengzie and D. DD. Mann went West. Holt soon saw that there was more money in the contracting business than in working on salary as an engi- neer, and he spent seven years in that business, being all the time more or lesd in touch with Mackenzie, Mann, and Ross, Returning to Montréal, he directed his energies to getting com- trol of that city's power and light facilities. He first bought out the old Montreal Gas Company. Then he ac- quired the Royal Electric. Company, and by degrees buying out competing companies or crushing them, he evolved the present Moatreal Light, million dollars capital and its almost The pocket sections must not be stitched together as. notched.
