Several weeks were thus passed in idleness, and the first summer was far spent before the "drawings" took place. This was a simple process.' Small pieces of paper, upon which were written the numbers of the lots to be apportioned, were placed in a hat, and the surveyor, with a map spread out before him, superintend- ed the operation. The officers came iret, and drew their lots in the first congession, fronting upon the water. As each drew forth a piece of paper from the hat, the survevor entered his name . upon the corresponding number upon the map. After the officers had been served, the other members of the &'ompany went through the same ceremony During the few weeks that they shad been wailing, some had made short trips through the forest, and 'had observed favorable locations, and after. the "drawings" were completed, there was more or less trafficking in lots, and exchanging locations for a con sideration; but for the part each accepted the lot drawn, -and hurried away to his future home The white village upon the shor was sooh u scene of great confusion TER TRY secured 1 few days ra tions from the Government supplies packed up the tent and their other belongings, and set out through the lonely forest, Unless one has visited a section of Canada from which none of thé timber has vet been remov.d, it is difficult to form a' proper con ception of the condition bf the older settled portions, one hundred and thirty; years agg" The debris of the forest lay rotting as it had fallen, the swamps were undrained, and the only roads were the blazed trails left by the sufveyin: parties. The clear ing up and draining of the farms hus brought about a great change in the lowlands. Large impassable creeks have been reduced to smal streams that can be crossed with ease, and the swamps, - whieh threatened to mire any who ventured over them a .¢entury ago, furnish now a sale and firm foothold. It was with difficulty that the lots could be located; as there was noth ing to indicate the boundary lines but the 'markers' placed .by the surveyors. When the little family group arrived at their destination they pitelied taeir tent again, and the housewife busied herself in prepar- fug their first meal in: their new home, while the husband surveyed his domain, noting the character of the soil, the presence of ] most able for the first clearing and erection of a house. tion was in most cases wisely made, is attested to-day by tie oxcellent natural surroundings of the old homesteads. "4 © As they partook of their ..€t meal In their wilderness home they econ- trasted their primitive surroundings with: the comfort dnd luxuries they bad left behind them; but, with no regret for the sacrifices they had made, they laid their plans Yor the the future. On the morrow the father,. and the sons if there were any, and nof infrequently the mother, too, set out to do battle with the forest. The short-bandled ship axe, not much fer than the modern hatchet, was their principal weapon. They labored with a will and "cleared a space large enpugh for the cabin. In some of the first vabins the floor was of earth "made of wood, large timbers 'were used, squared on the. sides and hewed smooth,on the upper surface Paint was very scarce," and a painted fHoor was '& juxury which very few could afford. A clean Ho6r was the 'pride of the mistress of the house. Coarse, clean sand and hot water were (he mater- als used 16 obtain it. Once a week, QF ofteper, the former would he so creeks, | mounds, and other conditions favor- | That the selec- | with his promotion here to avenge the Lusitania dead and his earnest efforts to rise have done more for him than.mere riches ever could accomplish. Mr. Francis rode up to the recruii= ing station here weeks ago and pre- sented himself to the enlisting offi- cers. "Can you pass me?" he asked, placing a card before the officer | "If you can stand the medical ex- amination," was the reply. He was examined and passed. He announced that a few days would be necessary to wind up his business af- fairs jn Boston, however The offi eer agreed, and with a knowing smile to his associates announced that that was the last they had seen of the "Boston swell." But the officer soon discovered his mistake. Three days later a taxicab drew up befgre the recruiting office and Mr, Franeis again alighted. This time he was dressed more in accord- ance with the requirements of (he army. Also, he said, he had some suit cases at the depot awaiting the orders of the officer. Thus the Bos- ton shoe manufacturer became Pri- wate Francis. Hi: stripes came in a month's time Although the members of '® Yankee Battalion," us it has nick-named, have a for adventure, their enlistment has been brought about by numerous causes, Many, probably more 100, are here because of their high feelings on the Lusitania disaster, Two-thirds of the legion is made up of men who have been in the Ameri can Army or Navy for years, The remaining third are the picked men, whe by théir own choice yearn for the chance to face death, and as a consequence are looked upon as the mpst dependable soldiers to be found, To look at Lieut. Tracy Richard- son, ene would scarcely believe that this youthful officer had been one .of Diaz's trusted generals during - the days when it was difficult to distin. guish friend from foe in Mexico. But the boyish general finally decided that he would prefer to be'a lieuten- ant in the American Legion than a general in Mexico. When Richardson submitted hime self for examination in the recruiting quarters-here the experienced officers shook their heads and looked again, "He's the original buman sieve," one of the men said. "He has twenty- four scars on his body and looks as if he could stand a lot more." So from that day om it was "Hu- man Sieve' Richardson, except when the dignity of his title demanded that he be addressed otherwise. the been common thirst WOMAN SUFFRAGE SHELVED Nothing Will Be Done About It At Washington. : Washington, Feb. 17 .~~Nation~ wide woman suffrage was Killed by the House Judiciary Committee so far as action this session is concern- ed.
