The mounted police! Don't you remember when you were a little chap, how you looked after the uniformed man on the glossy bay as he can­ tered through the park, and how you had no dearer dream of glory than to be like him? Even now, don't you feel"the old, boyish thrill at the sight of a blue-coated, erect figure in the saddle at a crowded city crossing? If you do not. you are a "grown up"--saddest of labels--and will Journey no more to the Never-Never-Never Land But for us "Incurable children," the sight o| ths mounted policeman still catches at those old heart-strings. And if all this for the blue-coated, brass-but­ toned horseman of the parks and boulevards, what of that other horseman, the one who rides alone with the stretch of endless prairies for his beat, with the criminal who holds a life at less than naught, his quarry? Surely even your dulled imagination, poor, to-be-pitied grown-ups, can catch fire faintly from the gleam of his scarlet coat- Recruited chiefly from the younger sona of well- to-do, and even titled, English families, the North­ west Mounted Police has long been an institu­ tion where an English university man can work off the bubbling froth of a drop of gypsy blood before settling down as head of a county family and warden of his church, in the main a collec­ tion of young men for whom the Red Oods call - too wildly, men with a dare-devil dash in their make-up, who leave England because they are im­ pecunious, or because of a row with their fami­ lies, or for sheer love of adventure. Come with me to Regina or Edmonton and you will hear stories of men who gave the recruiting officer the name of plain John Smith with something of a cynical smile--and it was bad form for the re­ cruiting officer to notice this smile--men who had t. a habit of reaching for a monocle that Wasirt ' there, of talking with the correct London pronun­ ciation, and thrashing thar fellow-trooper who called attention to this fact And any story you ever heard of the heir-pre­ sumptive to an English marquisate patroling a SOO-mlle beat along the Arctic circle can be out­ matched on the written records of the force, and In the memory of any officer. Fifteen years ago. Englishmen of Kipling's "gentleman ranker" type made up folly half of the force, and the other half was composed of wild Irishmen with all their country's love of a fight, old plainsmen and Indian fighters, the silent, steady-eyed, hard-riding men who gather on the frontier where the savage fall* away before tbe ragged vanguard of civilization. And they have done thetr work so well that they are fast driving away their Qwn excuse for be­ ing. The present northwest is no more what it whs In 1874 than busy Winnipeg of to-day 1b the •old Fort Garry to which the first troop of the "mounted" came 40 years ago. They have made western Canada what it is out of the lawless "ter­ ritory"--an almost preposterous undertaking-- •one-quarter of the number of policemen in New Yolk to govern a country 250,000 square miles larger than the United States! In short, the mounted police have brought British law into western Canada, and firmly es­ tablished It. The homesteader can go into any of the provinces and take out his claim, secure in the assurance that he can work his land undis­ turbed and harvest his crop uninjured. The home- seteader is doing it by thousands, and the Last * "West is vanishing. The frontier--the last fron­ tier of America--is being prosaically plowed by •the practical man in blue overalls, who doesn't -carry even a hunting knife, except to cut off his <chew of Granger Twist The Indiioi has been reduced to his lowest terms. When men of the United States were building the Union Pacific across the plains, they were obliged to employ Uncle Sam's troops to guard the builders. If the ghosts of the dead who died violently in that first five-years' fight for the west were to line up along the right of way there would be almost enough of them to mark the miles. On a 30-mile ride from the North Saskatche­ wan last fall. I met dozens of teams driven almost wholly by Indians and half-breeds. They were bauling the long logs that were to "be driven twenty to thirty feet into the sands of the Sa*< katchewan to.carry the false work of the Grand frank Pacific's stee! bridge. What a contrast! Instead of hindering, as was once the case, the northern Indians are helping to build the railroad. In the construction of the new government transcontinental line, the In­ dians are employed wherever they can be used, lor the road is being rushed with all po&slble ^Tftpeci consistent with good work The Indians Vre useful, al; o, to the pathfinders as guides; they know the forests of new Canada; they know the mountain fastnesses of tbe Peace river, and they know all tbe crooks and canyons of the Coast Range. In short, the red man of to-day Is the trusted guide and faithful Bervant of the path­ finder. He hunts for the white man still, but quite differently Trom the way he used to bunt for the pioneers of old. Thaulca to the Royal Northwest Mounted Po- civilization's house Is in order. To-day the long before tbe mounted will 'be a of the past as ell. Commissioner «vy*e report state* that the present ar­ rangement ends .-. «n March 31, 19UL What after that? Their work is done. The spirit of adventure which brought the Eden of 1874 to Red River Set­ tlement wililure the hardiest on to still more dis­ tant. fields. The scarlet tunic will be seen no longer, except In the pages of some historical source book; but the work of these silent, steady- eyed men will live forever, a record of tireless- ness, fearlessness, unflinching courage and pa­ tience--the making of a new and great empire. Change has already come to the mounted- The days when a scant 800 men were magistrates, doc­ tors, coroners, explorers, surveyors, mining re­ corders, crown-timber agents, revenue and cus­ toms officers, telegraphers, scouts, riders, drivers, boatmen, canoemen, marines and sailors, dog-drl- vefrs, ®ail-carriers, couriers, public-health aad ani­ mal-quarantine officers, prairie and forest-fire guardians, constables .and soldiers for one-third of the British Empire are passing with ever? newmile of railroad. The border "wolfer," the cattfe "rustler," the whisky trader, the fighting Indian, the whole band of swaggering ruffians who used to give zest to life in the 'Territory" has largely passed away, or been crowded northward and westward toward, the mining camps of Alas­ ka and the Yukqta. The reckless daring, the ro­ bust hardihood and plcturssqueness of the force necessarily have somewhat changed in the de­ velopment of the thoroughly civilized new north­ west. Now the young fellows are getting their breaking-in among the settled districts, while the old stagers are stationed to the north and we*t where there is still the "frontier" on the edg$ of I untraversed wilderness. For the purposes of the new order of things, it is a thoroughly competent and efficient force, as it was in the days of the Territory. The mem­ bers must pass a physical and mental examination which guarantees that. I came upon one of them in a moment of leisure studying a text-boofc on the common law, and he showed m'e some examina­ tion questions which implied that he must know how to conduct a cross-examination in open court sd as to avoid what are known in the law as "leading questions." And any lawyer will be im­ pressed when I say that every mounted policeman must know how to take a murdered man's .dying declaration In such a manner that It can be pre­ sented as evidence In court. The reason for fttfi Is that he combines the functions df a policeman with those of a petty magistrate.. And this arrangement, whereby me scLme'tnibs could arrest you, and then try you himself,'an* finally put you in prison and be your keeper, wa»' an ideal arrangement in the days when justice was a justice of the saddle, and all the more jle-. sirable for being summary: Although,; there are regular civil courts in the southern portion of Canada now, in the far north the duties of .the mounted policeman are still' as varied as those Of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pooh-Bah. Primarily' he keeps order. After that, he does everything that ought to be done, and that it ten't any one else's duty to do. And when some one else leaves his duty undone, the mounted policeman takes it up and finishes it. When the mail-carrier, who cov­ ers the North Country on dog sledges, reaches the most northern limit of his route, the mounted' po­ liceman takes over the bags, and goes 500 miles ' farther, north with them. Not long ago a letter came to my hands from the Leffingwell polar ex­ pedition, in which the writer stated that he would take five dogs and a companion and travel 300 miles over the ice to mail the letter. When the letter reached Its destination, the envelope bore the stamp of the Royal Northwest Mounted Po­ lice, who evidently had received it at one of their posts in the arctic, and then had carried it by dog- traln from the ice fields to railway connection. It ia all ta the day's work to them. They will undertake anything, from minding the baby to hanging a man, with equal placidity, and' put it through without flicking an eyelash- They have done their part to demonstrate that the one thing on this earth longer than the equator is the arm of English Justice. Less than three years ago a mounted policeman tracked a Yukon mur­ derer over 6,000 miles, caught up with him in Mexico, brought him back by way of Jamaica and Halifax, avoiding United States soil to pre­ vent extradition complications, and hanged htm within sight of the scene of his crime. - • - • There has never been a lynching in Canada. Pftt that down to the creillt of the mounted police, who administered justice so successfully thkt thef'e was never any temptation for the work to be ta­ ken up by private enterprise. Thefe ' WaW never any parallel lor the eiperience bt Blsmartk, North Dakota, where it is said the first 24 g'raves wfere those of men who had died by violence. Toward the Indians, the mounted police maintained'a tra­ dition of stern vigilance which'prevented anything * like the costly Indian watt) Which the United States waged up to a few years ago. There was never In the history of Canada a train robbery such as still feature the headlines of United States newspapers from time to time. The des­ perado of e,very type had a healthy respect fpr the mounted policeman and preferred to conduct his little enterpriser south of the border. '^Can^llans are particularly fond of telling the! newly arrived American about the troop of Amer­ ican cavalry--a whole troop, mljid you--who ten* derly escorted a band of "bad Indians" bent on crossing the border, to the Canadian boundary line. They weva met by a single mounted police- "Are you ready for these Indians?" 'asked the American officer. , "Yes, sir," responded the pdiiceman. h "They're a bad lot. Where is your Mgflft- tioned?" " • The trooper smiled faintly under his paustache. "Why, Scott's having , his horse shod, ang <1 gjiess Murray's over getting a drink. They'll be a!on(g fn a minute." And when presently Scott and Murray dame placidly on the scene, that troop of cavalry sat on their horses and watched the band of Indians they had so carefully guarded, depart over tha yellow prairie under the charge of three men. The American officer watched them dwindle to a dot across the level. Then his feelings found speech. "Well, I'm damfted!" he said. And the troop rode away. Again, old Pie-a-pot and several hundred of his tribe were making serious trouble along the ; rail­ road then under construction, and the mounted po­ lice promptly rode out to the Indian village with an order for the tribe to break camp and take the trail to the north, away from the line. When the policeman explained the 'drder to him, Pie-a-pot laughed and turned away. The other In­ dians Jeered and discharged their guns la the air. Tbe two policemen sat. still. "I will give you Just 15 minutes to comply with the order," said the sergeant quietly. When the 16 minutes were up, he dlexhouhted, walked over to the chief's tepee, and with calm de­ liberation kicked out the key-pole of the lodge, bringing the whole structure down--poles, war bon nets, drying skins, kettles and all--in a miscellane­ ous heap. Pie-a-pot did some deep and rapid thinking. A gesture to his young men would have sent a bun- . dred bullets into each of the quiet, unruffled men who were systematically going through the ramp, kicking out the key-pole of each tepee. But the In­ dians of the northwest had learned that sooner or later justice was done by the mounted police, and Pie-a-pot never made that gesture. He gave in, and In sullen silence the camp collected its scram­ bled effects and turned their ponies' heads north. Not so fortunate was the attempt of Sergt. Cole- brook 40 arrest a fugitive Cree Indian named Al­ mighty Voice. Almighty Voice had stolen a steer, and Sergt. Colebrook, with a half-breed companion, rode across the prairie to arrest him. The policeman In­ structed* the half-breed to tell the Indian that they had come to arrest him, and that he must go with them. The Cree replied: "Tell him that if he ad- VJtnces I will kill him." Instantly the half-breed covered tbe Indian with his rifle, but Colebrook promptly ordered him to de­ sist, for Almighty Voice must be taken alive. Then be rode deliberately forward upon the muzzle of the Cree'a rifle, and, sooner than submit to ' the shame of arrest, Almighty Voice fired. A year la ter, however, the Indian was surrounded in a pit where he had taken refuge. The police brought up their field guns and shelled the pit, killing Almigbty Voice and thus avenging Sergt. Colebrook's death. The outcome of this incident served to prevent se­ rious trouble with the Indians, who were all in a more or less sulky and unsettled mood at the time. How greatly the Indians have come to respect the just and impartial administration of the law by the mounted police was shown when one of Mecasto's band escaped from the guardroom at Macieod after having been trtedshy the polfce on a charge of theft and convicted. W^ien he returned to Mecasto's camp, the chief who\had attended the trial at which the fugitive was convicted had been so deeply im­ pressed by the impartial nature of the proceedings and by the fair administration of justice thathe promptly delivered him up again at the fort gate to tbe officer in command. Perhaps the greatest achievement which the po­ lice ever undertook was accomplished when they persuaded Sitting Bull and his band of between five and six thousand hostile Sioux to return and surrender to the United States authorities when they had taken refuge In Canada after the memor­ able massacre of Gen. Custer and his command. Commissioners from the United 'States had visited Sitting Bull and had negotiated with tbe chief for his return and surrender, to no avail. The police, however, by infinite tact and diplomacy, and be­ cause In their previous transactions they bad won the confidence of the Indians of the northwest, at length succeeded In Inducing Sitting Bull and hi* hostile braves to return peaceably to the United States, an exploit of which any body of men might be proud. When the Boer war broke out, England called for the mounted police to help her there. One-third of them, practically the pick of the force, went out Very few of them ever came back. Many wetv qf- ' fered commissions, and some accepted. Wherever there Is trouble, there the mounted police are the answer tp the problem, as they have been In west­ ern Canada for an ' f<ari, from the time of the Rlel rebellion up to to-day. The stoi'y oi iue mounted has its shadows. Men grew tired of the loneliness and deserted at times; men'who'had lost --love, hope, ambition--quietly went away Into th« wilderness and blew out their brains. The life was unsettling; men could not leave It and take up clerical work or farming, be­ cause adventurers are not built that way. Rut, shadows and all, the story oi the Canadian mounted police is one of the most gorgeous tales since the days of the Spanish Main. And the spir­ it of the force is best embodied In that message found scrawled on the orders of a policeman who perished in a blizzard while making his way with dispatches to a distant post. In his last moments with qupibed hand he had written; "Lost, horse dead. > Am trying "to push ahead.

Tbe woman who can only afford one gown of a dressy nature oack season naturally looks out for. a rrodel and material which will permit the cos­ tume being worn for many different sorts of occasions. The great vogue of silk allows this all-round use for a fine frock, especial­ ly if the gown Is made of satin foulard, for this shimmering and handsome texture may be made to look as plain or as elegant as one wishes. Where the dress is to do some duty for even­ ing, it is well to have a round decol- letage, which would be filled In on day occasions with a high, long-sleeved guimpe.* Then, since no dress can be fine without a tunic of some sort, if one' Happens upon a short pattern of silk, it Is the easiest thing in the world to eke it out with an overdress of marquisette, veiling or chiffon. The marquisette te first cousin to chiffon, and is of so diaphanous a texture, in­ deed, that it Is sometimes used for au­ tomobile veils. With a walking skirt--for the more dressy of the tunic dresses are slight­ ly trained--the overdress may be the dinkiest little affair, no more than an apron, in fact, and with the lower edge cut with a fish-tall curve. A distinct madness of the moment is a bunchy oversklrt effect, which 1b made by gathering the outside skirt very full over the foundation one, and then tying it about below the knees with a ribbon ea$h. This is a very good design for a foulard dress, and there is always the comfort that the next year there Will be enough material in the gown to make it over in a new style. Figured and plain pongees and shantung silk respond excellently to the limp lines and tailored effects of the moment, and a well made dress in any one of- these materials is both a coipfort and a valuable possession,, for such textures are delightfully cool, and old dresses in them may always be dyed and cut down for children. Natural colored shantung--a brown­ ish yellow--Is very stylish and washes like a rag. The one-piece dresses in this effective material look very pretty with the white lace and net yokes which still enliven everything. , The illustration shows a girlish model which would adapt itself charmingly to all bordered materials, such as muslin, pongee, marquisette, chiffon, etc , but the dress could also be made in k plain goods vith an ap­ plied bordering of ribbon or lac ^ entre- deux. As illustrated, the little dress DAY WAIST TO MATCH GOWN is of novelty veil<ng, black spots on £ dead white ground, and it is put oyer silk in one of the new rich shades at blue, and belted with the same coior. The high guimpe is of ail-over lace and put over a gilt Webbing.' A more practical gown in this de­ sign--for this combination strikes the last note of elegance--could be of any of the little silks now used, and which may be bought for from 4S cents a yard up. and still spem smart and and foot by foot the intrepid clirobei Is lowered till his cheery voice is lost amid the fluttering sounds of the dis­ turbed birds.

All the Summer Blouses- Graduated Tucks. Tbe girl who has begun to make her own blouses for summer will find that lengthwise lines are much in favor. A pretty model has a series of grouped and graduated tucks that, give an elab­ orate effect without much work. The center of the blouse has a strip of swlss embroidered insertion with two rows of material in fine thread tucks run crosswise from a band on either side, These are edged with an­ other row of Insertion on the opposite side. Beyond the trimming is a quarter- Inch tuck run from neck to bottom of blouse, then three thread tucks, an­ other quarter-Inch one, three more thread tucks, then two quarter-inch tucks on outside for fullness. This Is repeated on other side. The back is finished with Insertion ss each side of opening, then narrow band of cross tucks, another row of for it all depends on how you treat these cheap silks whether the dress is exquisite or tawdry.' My own taste would be to trim them very plainly with tucking or ribbon bands, and have the yoke of a modest rather than a flamboyant nature. There are some fancy nets, which rr-pond most charmingly to well made yokes and guimpes, and to my mind these are far prettier for summer than yokes of richer lace. there. At the front there Is a lavish treatment with insets of net-laces, tucks, embroidery and small silk but­ tons. The small mutton-leg sleeves display the amount of fullness now ad­ mitted tfc^ long arm covering, and the stock is in the form of a straight band of the embjroidery between two of the lace. ' Such a waist could be developed very prettily In any thin veiling that would match the gown color, or else be made quite enlendid house affair, if made In all-white. Where time must be economized, the embroidery could be left off, as the box plaits upon which this appears are in . themselves decorative. With the trimming farther simpli­ fied. this model would be excellent for a practical waist -in any wash mate­ rial. p Prints. We are approaching a season of prints, and while it is needless to In­ clude the much-ln-evidence foulard, we see In It the keynote. Its figures have been c6pied on dim­ ity, organdie, barred rousllh. crepe, net and on cotton foulard. Every variation of the floral pattern is shown on these washable Btuffs, and many of them have the added richness of the satin or mercerised stripe. Ptmgees, too, are printed, and the whole tale has not been told without mention of the stamped and figured chiffons, which ahow forth a perfec­ tion not found in any other fabrio. with group of three thread ones be­ tween. ^ The sleeves have three-quarter Inch tucks with two groups of thread ones between.

Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach, which he claims to prove, with his new medicine, Is being given more respect and comment every day, , Cooper claims that 90 per cent, of all ill health is due to stomach trou­ ble. When Interviewed about his theory recently, he said: "Stomach trouble te the great curse of the 20th century •» far aa the civilized races are con­ cerned. Practically all of the chronic ill health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions, la earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, &ud men and wcraea worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, - did not exist. "To be sure, there t-ras sickness la those days, but it was of a virulent character, and only temporary. There ,w£s none of thi$ eopditfeaa all the time with, which so many are "I know positively that every bit of this , chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble.
