The Editor hears | eee ------------------------ That Sir Henry Thornton has given free transportation to the exhibits sent to the Woman's Exhibition at the Canada National Exhibition open- ing next week in Toronto. Woman's work from every province in Canada will be shown in the west wing of the big building which has been giveh entirely to women, at a great bxpense to the company. The mem- bers of thé Woman's Institute are welcomed here where there is a tea room and a rest room at their dle- posal. Inetiute members are asked to make the fact known as there is a special welcome for them. That some of the lady members of the British Association who were ex- tremely anxious to see some real In- dlans in paint and feathers on their way to the west, were told at one of the smaller stations that they would see several Indians at the end of the platform. In great haste to get some snap-shots of the noble red men they rushed off, making their cameras ready as they ran. What was their disgust to see three dark, uninter- esting looking men in working cloth- es leaning against the fence chewing gum. No paint, no feathers, nothing exciting. The ladies returned to the train much disappointed. That the Woman's Institute section of the Kingston Industrial Exhibition will be of great interest this year as it was in 1923. The women ofthe Frontenac branches will join, and several special featurés will lend an added interest. That it is a regrettable fact that in some places in western "Ontario where the crop of small fruit and to- matoes is unusually large, some wo- men who are fortunate enough to own gardens filled with the fruit and vegetables other women would give much to possess, are so lazy that they refuse to pick it, and say, "Oh, I can buy it at the store for such a small price, I wouldn't be bothered picking it." And what about the children in the large cities who never taste the dainties thrown away? It is selfishness like this shown in many ways that keefs us from receiving the benefits of the of the civilisation our 'fathers worked hard to win. That the committees for the his- torical pageant to be put on in King- ston in September have the matter well in hand, and next week the pageant master of the John Rogers upany >i Bieive in Kingston and "to ye HAMILTON GIRL IN THE WEST TEACHES CREE GUAGE.

Millen, Mountain Top, home just now on a brief vacation. Twenty-five years ago an enthusi- astlc young missionary, Miss Millen left these "parts and went to the Peace River district in connection with Anglican Missionary work. From there she went on to Wabasco. Miss Millen once had occasion to write to an Indian, using the native Cree language, which by this time she has completely mastered, and it was while the noted Archbishop Matheson was travelling through the Indian Reserve that he was shown the letter by an Indian missionary worker. Greatly impressed he made a point of seeking Miss Milien at Wa- basco and told her that that was no place for a woman who couid speak, read and write Cree language. "The reserve is the place for you!" ex- claimed the Archbishop, and so to the reserve. Miss Millen went. Later she volunteered for a more distant post and she is now at the Big Eddy school. Here, day after day, she teaches her beloved Indian chil- dren, whose own Cree language she knows almost as well as English, In the course of her splendid work in bringing the gospel to these people, she has translated several parts of the Prayer Book including the bap- tismal and funeral serviges. After her children have gone home for the day, many of them unbelievably long distances, Miss Millen goes back to her little shanty, absolutely compan- fonless, in the midst of the wild and lonely grandeur of forest and lake. Here she plans her work, dreams her dreams, and sees her visfons for the coming years. She has no time to feel lonely; she asks neither for sup- port or companionship; she is con- tent with her great mission, Glenburnie W. M. 8. The Glenburnie W. M. S. held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Alexander McKendry. There as a splendid turnout of members.
