P. R. Congtruction Work He Wis Known as a Powerful Leader of Men With Cataclysms of Explo- sive Wrath and Sudden Flashes of Humor. N his human side the late Sir William Van Herne was as attractive a figure as he was grea: in the fleld of railway management, In appear- ance he was short and rather cor- pulent, though his dimensions gave a feeling of m2ssiveness and power. His voice was deep-chested and on oc- casion strong and commanding. Writing in The Canadian Century a couple of years ago of Sir William Van Horne, Mr. C. Lintern Sibley gave these illuminating touches: There are many picturesque acces- sories to lighten the record of such a man as Sir William. I like that pic- ture of him that you hear from the old constructi-nobosses, of how, when he was out in the wilderness with his armies of workmen from the Orient and the Occldent, carrying to a sue- cessful consummation thousands of miles 6f what were regarded as en- gineering impossibilities--how, in the starlit nights, in the vastness of the Rockies or the solitary wastes of the plains, there would flow out upen the listening air some wonderful strain of music--the solace of a Chopin noe- tarne or the deeper melody of a Be&thoven tone poem---telling Indian and Orient ad European alike that the Big Chief Van Horne had been pleased with the result of the day's struggle with primeval chaos. That music was of the Big Chief's own making; it came from his beloved violin. And contrasting with this, there is the other side of his nature--the explosive wrath, the cataclysm of pur- est Anglo-Saxon, the flery will of the man expressing itself in fiery terms, and the sudden flash of humor that came like mellow sunshine following upon the thunderstorm. It took a big fund of humor, of optimism, 'of sheer brute strength, and of magne- tic, indomitable will to carry on a battle such as he won against forces and discouragements so vast as at- tended the building of the C. P. R. Mr. Sibley tells 6f* Van Horne's once being lost in the mountains of British Columbia, and of "how he wandered all day swallowed up fn a vast landscape that stretched away In an endless sea of snow and glacier- clad peaks, and how towards evening down among the trees on a mountain- side he espied smoke. How he crawled on his hands and knees to the camp, fearing it might be hostile Indians, and how to this big man with his giant hunger there floated on the breeze the glorious smell of frying beefsteak, betokening the fleshpots of the white man---as, in- deed, t was--of his own surveyors. "When, after the railway was built, he took on the job of letting the' world know of its attractions, he got artists to paint pictures of the Scemety. "These pictures We would criticize-in a helpful and instructive manner. More than once when pic- tures have been brought into his of- fice in the Windsor Street Station in Montreal he has sent out for sand- wiches for luncheon and for artists' material, and between mouthfuls of sandwiches he has mixed up his colors and repainted the pictures. "Sir Wilianf's home life is a very happy one. His love for children is one of the lovable phases of his na- ture. I remember interviewing him once immediately upon his return from one of his numerous visits to Cuba. "While he was talking « his little grandson came into the room -- a grandson to whom the great Sir Wil- liam represented nothing more than a nice, big playfellow, to be ordered about at his bidding. * 'Come and kiss grandpa,' said Sir William. "The child came to hit, and grand- pa and the hope of the family ex- changed kisses. * ** I want you to be horse,' said the little boy. " 'Want mo t+ be a horse? gaia Gran "Yes, 1 want to ride." ** 'Come on then.' .

Story of a Young Woman Who Found Her Soldier Husband. A rather pithetic story comes from the representative of a Cana- dian newspaper in England, describ- ing the plight of a young wife of a Canadian private, and the plucky manner in which she met and over- came tHe difficulties of locating her husband. 'Last Saturday nine hundred Can- adian wives arrived in England by the Megantic, I played a small part in the fortunes of one arrival. Along with another chap, I'was taking a stroll at the West Sandling Qamp. As we struggled up a steep Bill on our return we were accosted by a young wife who had a baby and a suit case, 'Will youse fellows run and get Pte, for me? she said. : "We said we'd see what we could do, and my companion offered to carry her grip. ** "It is not -heavy. was the reply. 'We walked ahead a few steps #hd I said to the other chap, 'You carry the baby and I'll take the grip.' We did. "At the top of the hill we sent a man to locate the lucky hubby, who was not aware that his wife was com- ing. 'The man returned with the news that Mr. Husband was in hospital. "In the meantime I invited the young lady's confidence. She was seventeen. The baby was a year old. She was married when she was 13 and her husband 16 in Oswego, New York. Her home is in St. Catharines, Ontario. She had a big time coming over in the boat---was only sick two days. 'You bet your life' she had lots of money. 'Enough to last her a month.' She wasn't very struck with England. "When 'we met her she was a mile from a railway station with a baby and a suitcase. And three thousand miles from home!""--Canadian Cour- fer. I ean"carry it," A PLOT WHICH FAILED. Architect's "raughtsmen Had All Their Work for Nothing. A German-sounding name is some- times uncomfortable in this country "at present. 'There is a well-known architect in Toronto whose name has a rather German character, and who looks a little like a German, when, as a matter of fact, lic is'a French Swiss. A few days ago some of the draughtsmen in the office tried to en- tangle him in a complication with the authorities--jus. for a joke. The architect is a well-known designer of big buildings in large cities, and so might easily be suspected of knowing a good deal about the city of Toronto and its environs. The shrewd practical jokers who almed to scare a loyal citizen by in- volvimg him in a charge of treason- able conspiracy, drew up a fine map of the Humber River west of Tordn- to, showing ul! its approaches, em- bankments, prominent buildings, ete. The spegcilications were niccly Tolded up in a"blue cover, and over the top was written: "Chart outline, plans and diagram of the Humber River, prepared for His Imperial Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm by . A herewith respectfully submitted." The map was placed very carefully in the breast pocket of the architect's coat--for he is a man who leaves his coat on a nail when he works. The plan was to have a policeman argest the architect charging him ith treasonable 'conspiracy. The archi- tect, of course, would indignantly deny.the charge. The policeman was to search his pockets, discovering the plah. After which, when the archi- tect was scared out of his boots, the joke was to be explained. But the ruse didn't work. The architect found the map of the Hum- ber River in his pocket before he saw a policeman. And the joke was on the cobspirators, who bad wasted so much time and talent in making the plan, Abead of Pauama. Chief Engineer Weller is authority for the statement that the Welland Ship Canal,' now In course of con- struction, from un engineering point of view rivals the Panama 'Canal. Those familiar with the geography of the "peninsula will' 'readily credit Cuiet Weller's statetient. But there is another regard, and a most import- ant one, in 'whi¢h the Welland Carnal does not rival the Panama Canal, but far excels it, that'is in the amount Of tradé it carries! American papers published a4 few weeks ago a state- ment of six months' business on the Panama. J. L.

For Over Forty Years It Has Met in Queen's Park, Toronto. For over 40. years a number of | young, grey-headed men, anything | from 50 years of age upward, have] made the benches under the trees in Queen's Park, Toronto, a place of rendezvous every Sunday (weather permitting) for a friendly chat. They have no regular form of dis- cussion. No chairman;' but Quaker- like, they speak as the spirit moves | them, and while at times their = partee is productive of laughter, there is dlways an air of earnest! thought, and their subjects of dis- cussion show that they are all well read men who have traveled widely. They will quote Darwin, Huxley, Spencer, and other great sefentists as readily as a thirsty bull pup will drink water, Pointers in biology, psychology, eugenics, geology, and mythology seems to have been the principal diet that enabled them to reach their present state of peren- nial youth, and while at times they get a little hot around the collar, they never exhibit amy great irritation under roasting that Is frequently handed out to them. There are no cliques among them. The 39 neVer lose the opportunity of giving a sly lick at the fortieth, Now they are on the subject of eugenics. One remarked that no unfit man or woman should be allowed to marry or be given the least oppor- tunity to reproduce their diseased kind. It should be a case of ope tion or separation. If that were done disease would soon become unknown. Mr. Hood: "Suppose you were an epileptic and you loved a young girl, would you not wish to marry her? Wouldn't you say: If you love me as I love you, no man shall cut our love in two?" A Voice: "A real red-blooded man wouldn't say any such rot. If he loved her he'd think more of her wel- fare and the natural results of mar- rying her." General discussion followed. When a traveler of the North-West Terri- tories, Peace River district, gave some interesting information about the Indian tribes of Crees and Beav- ers out that way, he said: . "Both these tribes were equally de- generate, but the Crees have been well looked after and demonstrate clearly the results of civilization, The Beavers remain as they were--whis- key and too close an intimacy with the white men is the principal cause. This degeneracy is not always con- fined to the Indians. The white man who falls into their ways degener- ates too. The subject then got on to evolu- tion, and Mr. Hood, a well-versed man, who couldn't be convinced of anything, said he was willing to be convinced, but hadn't yet met the man who could convince him: Mr. Kirke said that Darwin Was the father of modern evolution. His statement was based upon facts. Mr. Hood replied that he might fancy the moon was 'a green cheese, but his fancy wouldn't make it a fact. "Anyone who believes in Dar- win in ten years' time will be laugh- ed at. You can get a mule from a horse and & donkey, but you ean't get offspring from. a mule, and any fool knows that there if no such thing &8 spontaneous germination. My friend over there is 'talking Some- thing that nobody knows about and he don't know himself, Whatever our boys at the front may bave been be- fore they enlisted, there is not a man of them who before he has been in the trenches three days but becomes a Christian." 4 And 80 it goes. WILD RADISH. It Is a Very Common Pest in the Maritime Provinces, Wild radish is a very common pest in the Maritime Provinces, and, in fact, is as objectionable as mustard. The condition of things reféfred to in our correspondent's letter én easily be explained by the fact that the seeds of wild radish are able to lie dormant in the soil for mahy years without losing their power of germin- ation. When the sod was plowed last fall a' great many of the wild radish Seeds were placed under conditions so that they could germinate, Just why fewer wild radish plants in the oat field than in the land is 'not clear. Possibly the explana- tion is that the fallow land received more stirring with the cultivator and plough, and hence more seeds were enabled to germinate. 'We are not able to state definitely how many years wild radish seeds will 1ié& dor- Hane, bit suthiorities state 'that they may 1 or twenty-five years.

Toronto, Oct. 13.--The Crow's Nést Pass Coal Company has now en- tirely wiped out its indebtedness and has a comfortable credit balance in the bank. It is stated on good au- thority that a dividend will be de- clared, likely at the rate of four per cent. per annum, before Christ- mas. The earning power of the com- pany has been restricted during the past couple of years because of hard times in the West, but economies have been initiated in an effective manner . At present the company is earning about eight per cent. on the stock, which means that if it pays the above dividend it will be laying aside four per cent. per an- num as a rest. Bonds Sold on N. Y.
