Also, parts of the [Northwest Territories, 70 miles in .width, including districts of Mani- toba, ASSiniboia, and Alberta, are farther south than any portion of England. “NOne of Canada’s present Wheat ï¬elds in Manitoba, and the North- west Territories lie as far north as Scotland, but I believe that in the not distant future some of the choic- est land of America will be found further north, under the shelter of the Rocky Mountains.

Between the middle of May and the middle of September the whole of this district is influenced by the same isotherm as the greater portion of France. The summer months, proper, are distinctly warm- er than in England, but in few dis- tricts does the mean temperature ex- ceed 70 degrees, hence the heat is by no means excessive. “The Whole of Canada, with the exception of territory near the coast of British Columbia, is favored with more sunshine than any portion of Great Britain, Germany, Holland or Northern France. Nearly all parts of the Dominion haVe an annual per- centage of over 40, and a summer percentage of between 53 and 59, Whereas it is only in the more south- ern parts of England that a normal annual percentage of 36 is reached, and the summer ï¬gures, While in a few instances up to 50, are more genâ€" erally between 35 and 45.

Laughable New While the desirability of licensing guides has been urged by many in the province of Nova Scotia, who think that forest ï¬res are frequently caused by careless hunters, a party of three from the domain of Uncle Sam has reached a similar opinion, though from a somewhat different cause. Briefly, they consider them- selves, as they express it, to have been "done" by an Indian, who takes ï¬rst rank as a guide and, to put it mildly, is, seemingly, some- thing of a practical joker as well. , __-“n;";t\‘1 and a pllb 1" “‘“‘“J! -~v â€"- ._, _ thing of a. practical joker as well. With their rifles, ammunition and a week’s grub and sundries, they set out for the haunts of the lordly moose. Knowing nothing of the ‘ country, they were, of course, led entirely by their guide. This indi- vidual kept their flagging spirits up to the necessary notch by pointing out hoof marks, which he assured them were made by moose that < must be nearby, but day after day passed without their ever seeing ev- en the tip of a vanishing tail. while “leads and antlers" were about as plentiful as they should be in subur- ban New York. The week passed, the grub Vanishâ€" ed, and the guide having been paid oil’, followed suit. The disgusted huntsmen unloaded their rifles, threw any the ammunition. and, surrend- ering promising beards of a week’s 1 growth to the conventionalitles of ‘ civilization, left for home. Just at ‘the station, however, they met a. illighy man who has trumped every 3 mile of the “hunters’ paradise†in I, western Nova. Scotia. and knows it {like his own back yard. He asked at some length and ended by refer- ring to the numerous tracks their guide had pointed out. The local ‘ white is a. polite man, but in spite i of his self-control he smiled, and his smile is expressive. “What’s your 3 joke?†asked the disgruntled for» eigners. “Nothing, oh, nothing," he ? replied, “only you’ve been hunting ‘ in Morgan’s pasture. Those tracks 1 were made by cows." A few days _, later the guide with stolid counten- gance remarked to the gentleman Fuho had exposed his duplicity, â€I ' i received a very insulting letter toâ€" ' 3 day.†, 1903. e1 FOOLED BY AN INDIAN GUIDE.
