E A short time ago an old resident ‘, of Thessalon named White while tra- 1 -veling on the Soo branch of the C. ; P. R. overheard two prospectors who ‘ had been exploring the almost un- knOWn regions back of Thessalon - telling of a White woman whom they I had found living with the Indians, there. These Indians live in the most primitive manner, in tents, and few of them can speak a. word of Eng- 1 lish. Mr. White was interested in; the story and soon called to mind. 8:: strange disappearance of Maud, illespie fourteen years ago. He inâ€" quired of the prospectors regarding“ the woman, and upon his return communicated with Mrs. Dunphy,- who has seen the Indian agent and . taken the matter to the Government, . asking that steps be taken to recovâ€" ‘ or the girl, which will undoubtedly ? be done. The story told by the, prospectors is an interesting one.i They had been exploring the regionsl back of Thessalon in the search for . mineral wealth and had s'een no huâ€", man being for weeks. Suddenly they! came upon this village of Indians on 2 Green Lake, near the Missisauga Rivâ€" . or, abggt 109 miles back of Thessaâ€"g lon. While trying to talk with the: Indians they were startled to see‘; 1} white woman who appeared de-é lighted when she heard them speak j in English. They talked with her, i and she told them that years ago 3' when she was a small girl she had ; been stolen by the Indians and had .’ lived with them ever since, never see- ! ing a white man except the French trappers, with whom she was unable ; to talk. She Was anxious to get‘ away from the Indians and implored i the prospectors to aid her. They pro-' mised to do so. The girl speaks Eng-i lish in the manner of one who has? not had oceasiOn to use it for years, ; and- is as uncouth as most of thet Indians themselves. The prospectors ? found it necessary to use the simplâ€" est sort of language in order to make i themselves understood, and said that ‘ they are in doubt whether or not! the sight of the girl will be welcomei to her mother, if, indeed, she is the, one whom Mr. White and others now: believe she is. 5 Prom inform: u it the 300 d Gillespie. year: of a from n thirteen ; unmet. has be m Indians at Fourteen yeal a that time 8 “Q, lived wit] three mile. 0‘" unminit in the than, but no trace of any sort or ducfiptiOn could be found, and at hit she Was given up for dead and the seamh abandoned. ‘ ‘ , I-.L*_ “It’s no use," said the Visitor; "I will not take a cent less than $500." “Wait a minute, my good friend," sad I, “I will make it easier for you. wallgiveyouSSOOtogetup a strike."

P., re- cently delivered the closing lecture of this year’s series of the Lindsay Collegiate Institute lecture course. His subject was “A Page of Old French-Canadian History,” the story of the regiment of Carignan-Salieres. After a. graphic description of the Champlain and Richelieu valley, Mr. Monk sketched the origin of the regiâ€" ment of Carignan Salieres in France about 1650, noted their many .deeds of daring and their last, fight in Europe against the Turks in 1664. The danger of the French colony lrom the Iroquois was so great that Louis XIV. sent out a. regiment of regulars for protection in 1665, and the Carignan Salieres were chosen. Their work was to fortify the Riche- lieu valley, drive back the hated Iro- quois and hunt them away from the borders of New France. This they Bid at great cost to themselves. Their work done. the regiment 'Was disbanded. and the mgiority of sur- viving officers and men settled inthe Richelieu.

All the things being equal, the young man" who knows anch will stand a much better chance of doing business in Quebec than will his competitor, who compels his customer to speak a language that is alien to his lips. The French-Canadian merchant in a small town does not attempt to speak English more than once a month or so. He is gratified to find an English-speaking salesman ac- quainted with his OWn tongue; so that 'the French-speaking man from Ontario stands in with a manifest advantage.

The man who has nothing but English at his command, will have to depend largely on his French-Canadian assistants or fore- men. He will often have to pay sal- aries that he could save if he had both languages to work on. The el- eCtrical engineer of the future, who is now studying in Ontario, had bet- ter have a try at French. The youngâ€" er he is, the better. Still, a man who has attained middle age. can “pick it up.” Many a politician has gone to Ottawa knowing no word of the alien tongue. He has found that a knowledge of it would help him in Parliament and, has commenced its study. People of our blood are no- toriously timid about learning for- eign languages, but there is nothing very difficult in the task of acquir- ing a working knowledge of French. It is something that. pretty nearly any man possessing a High School education should be able to achieve in six months. If he knows his Lat- in grammar pretty well, he will be immeasurably helped. But even if he g... mvâ€"â€" w- -- has no Latin. he will do well to take up French. He will be richer financially and mentally. The Lieutenant-Governor of Que- bee, Sir Louis Jette. who is to the front as one of Canada's jurists in the Alaskan Boundary dispute, is not known outside of his Province except by harne. He is far more of a judge than a politician, in tem- perament and attainments. The one episode in his political career which brought him fame was his defeat of the late Sir George Cartier in Mont- real East in the general elections of 1872. Then a. young avocat, , com- paratively obscure, Jette Was brought out by the Liberals against the French Tory leader, Whose pres- tige and authority in Quebec Were then similar to Sir John ,Macdonâ€" 'ald's in Ontario. Cartier had deeply oflended his church by declin- ing to intervene to save Separate schools for the New Brunswick Ca- tholics. He had also incurned the hostility of the militia, and the late Colonel Dyde, of Montreal, and Col- onel G. T. Denison, of Toronto, went quietly into the constituency and worked against him. Cartier was left in a. minority of 1.250 votesâ€" they never do things by halvm in Quebecâ€"and young J ette woke up to find himself famous. He Was made g judge by the Mackenzie Governnwnt' in September, 1878, resigning from the Bench in 1898 to succeed Sir Adolphe Chaplcau at Spencerwaod. He is 67 years old: Mr. Rodolphe Lemieux, M.P. for Gaspe, is his son-inâ€"law. But all over Ontario that vindic- tive and typhoidâ€"propagating insect, the mosquito, is a pest. Iii-rural and suburban districts, broken crockery. flower-pots and discarded vegetable and fruit cans in a back yard will often hold enough rainwater to atâ€" tract an egg-laying mosquito. Of course, ponds furnish a larger prob- lem, but not an insoluble one. With them drainage must be resorted to, and drainage calls for co-operation. For that matter, so do other "me- thods of campaigning. Fighting mosâ€" quitoes is like shovelling snow. It Jones cleans his sidewalk, and Smith in negligent, the public loses the benefit of the farmer's diligence, and Jones is tempted to regret his own zeal. If one man cleans up his yard and denies the mosquito n brending- place, and his neighbor doen not, vir- tue is not adequately rewarded.
