Yxtensive new buildings are to be erected on the R.IN.W.M.P. square at the headquarters of the famous force in Regina. While Commissioner Per- ry. announced that the buildings would go up in the near future and would entail a large expenditure, he stated that he was pot in a position to give many details. The new buildings, he said, would be placed on the south side of the square. Officers' quarters and a large barracks will be erected. This will entail the tearing down ang re- moval of the last of~the old wooden buildings, including the historic guardroom where Louis Reil ex- piated his crimes on November 186, 1885. The guardroom was the first frame building erected on the ground. The other original buildings were made in Quebec in 1882, sent 'to Regina in sections, and then put together hy men on the force at the rate of one each day. Senior officers of the Montreal po- lice expressed regret at the passing of the old buildings while delighted with the prospect of the new ones. There is a possibility that the old guardroom building will be removed to another spot and preserved in its present form. One of the officers stood on the scaffold when Riel with all the Stoicism of his race met his death by hanging. Another has a piece of the rope and a eard, written by the rebellion leader just befere the hour of execution. From memory one of the officers recalled those on the scaffold. They were: Sheriff Chapleau, Deputy- Sheriff Gibson, Inspector J. A. Mec- Yap er), Hangman Henderson, Father Andre of Duck Lake, Father McWil- liams and Riel himself. Telling of the actual hanging, the officer said there were two trap doors, and that Riel stood more on one than the oth- er when the trap was sprung. The result was that when he fell his feet struck Dr. Dukes, the medical officer, who was standing below, in the face. Standing near Dr. Dukes were Dr. Cotton, the coroner, and the jury- men. ] The hangman, Henderson, had been taken prisoner by Riel at the first rebellion in 1870 at Fort Garry. Two years after the hanging Hender- son was lost in the.dead of winter between Regina and Wood Mountain. After several unsuccessful attempts by other parties a party led by In- spector McGibbon found him on the prairie badly frozen but still alive. He was brought to Regina on a flat sledge. - So i 3 The Sporting Instinct. 'Back in the early days of 1915, .when the ravages and terrors of war awoke the small game to the realiza- tion of the fact that something un- usual was happening, a rather amus- ing incident occurred in ome of our Canadian battalions which, at that time was holding a portion of the line in Northern France. The amusing and exciting moment was caused by the appearance of a rabbit romping around in close prox- imity to the front line. "Stout" as he was pick-named, one of our bat- 'talion 'snipers, upon observing it quickly brought it to the attention of one of the boys. A small wager was speedily arranged between them as to who would be the first one to shoot it. ' "Stout" who was first to 'train his rifle on the target was about to fire when a shot from presumably a sniper in the Hun lines found the rabbit, thereby enabling them to gain their objective and incidentally saving probably a box of ammunition which undoubtedly they would have exhausted before achieving their aim. The wager naturally having been called off on account of a '"No Hit Game" on their side, appropriately termed so by one of the fans, was rearranged that the first one to se- rue the rabbit would win the stakes. At that time it was not considered suitable to make the "hop-off"' al- though, according to .the conditions, an independent start could he made at any time without the knowledge 'of the other competitor. Stout's op- ponent, who was determined to gain the rabbit and the prize, started out by a circuitous route in order to be 'a less conspicuous target to the en- emy's fire, finally arrived within a # {few yards from the scene, when to his astonishment the rabbit who had only received a fracture of one of its fore legs arose and limped feebly towards our front line trench. Its bursuer, not considering it advisable to follow in its wake, owing to com- plete exposure to fire, retraced his' 'tracks homeward, only to find that "Stout" had eaught the rabbit which had fallen exhgusted 'within a few yards of the trench; and was prepar- ing it for the evening meal.--R.H W. Returned Soldiers as Teachers. The Department of Education is receiving most satisfactory reports 'concerning "the progress made by those returned soldiers, who have de- cided to prepare for the teaching pro- fession, or finish their courses in that | profession. 'The Hon. Dr. Cody, Min- ister of Education, stated recently: "I am delighted to feel that our ex- . Dectations respecting the quality and spirit of the returned 'soldiers, who are entering the teaching profession, are being fulfilled. Those who fin- ished their courses last spring at the Faculty of Education are reported to me as being equal to the very best class of candidates entering the those returned soldiers, who are now taking the summer course to pre- pare them for "the professional it all the qualities needed to make a success at teach- ing.

Lo Because of the war "Save and Serve" became a national duty, and because of peace, the national duty has been altered to "Serve and Save." One organization that has recognized this truth is the Rotary Club of To- ronto, which is going ahead with its war gardens as though the Hun were still at the gate. The service consists as in the war years in ploughing va- cant city land and providing all those who wish to till it with seed and advice. /The work is under the able direction of Mr. George Baldwin, an. Old Country landscape gardener and expert, assisted by a committee of which Sir W. R. Meredith is presi- enthusiastic members. This year the Rotary Club, co-operating with the Toronto Vacant Lots Cultivation As- sociation, has ploughed and seeded about 250 acres of land. The entire produce of these lots, which number 1,540, goes to those who cultivate them, the club charging nothing but a nominal fee of two dollars for all its services.

The next year 'thefe were twice as many lots and the value of the produce was $8,000. There was a big jump in 1917 to 826 lots whose vegetables. were valued at $30,000, and a still greater increase for last year when produce valued at $75,000 was taken from 2,060 vacant lots. Generally speaking we may probably take it for granted that each lot sup- plies not only the cultivator, but his relatives with fresh vegetables from the time the radishes and lettuce bloom in the spring until the last aext winter. that is done at times when it does Jation or unduly fatigue him--have 'heir vegetables all the year round. Not only is this an important saving for those who cultivate the gardens but must also have some effect upon keeping the prices from sky- 'ocketing, but the cultivators are. ! ing the art'of market gardening, ind are thus equipped to start in on » larger scale with a view of supply- ng the market. . More than this, several returned oldiers who knew nothing about 'ardening a couple of years ago have ccome s0 interested in the work that hey have taken up farms in New ontario, and promise to become valu- :ble settlers.

This is not being over- soked by the Rotary Club enthus- :5ts. for more than one hundred lots re under cultivation by school chil- ren, assisted by their parents. The city school which takes first rank mn this work is the Williamson 'chool on Donlands avenue, where ere are 57 -pupils at work. The lillerest~School is also well .to the { ront with numerous carefully tend- d gardens. The movement is also preading among the factortes, many f which have land that would other ise be a slag heap. The association first secures the Jermission of the vacant lot owner 0 cultivate it, paying nothing for he right, but agreeing to vacate 'thout compensation on notice hould the. lot be sold. It then loughs and harrows the soil, and re- 2ives applications from those who {esire to work on it. Next the seed Ss supplied at cost. and Supt. Bald- vin explains how it should be plant- 3d.

[t is expected that next year there will be a similar demonstration plot in the east end, for the work is grow- ing so that one model garden is not enough. ; ; To date, 98 per cent. of the lots are reported as doing well and of the -tillers the percentage belonging to this class is probably 100. 1t has been found that very few persons, who once undertake the cultivation } of a lot lose their enthusiasm or en- On the . contrary they are keener after a year's work. This is contrary to the experience of many suburbanites, but the reason is that no man is given more than he can do comfortably, and he has the con- stant competition of lots on every side of him. His spirit of emulation is aroused and he refuses to fall down. eover, with scientific ad- vice and help always available, he has no excuses for making grandiose mistakes. As regards the lot owners, they have found that a cultivated lot | is a well dressed lot, and therefore is'likely to draw the attention of buy- 1s. These lots sell better when neat- ly laid out in rows of living green' an when given over to thistles and weeds. Addressing the Prince. .
