Hot many years ago the Premier of Canada, and his right and left m. Tapper and Tilley, were all old- the men who had taken an active 31:. in the politics of Canada, Nova tie. and New Brunswick before the union. One of them, Sir' Charles Tapper, was Premier as late as 1896, “a? is still a hale anti hearty man, .17 i1 reCently our dominatin ideas me those of preâ€"confe eration Statesman. In Ontario Sandileld Mac- 'donald, one of the heads of the old Canadian Governments, Was Premier of Ontario after Confederation, and was succeeded, after a. short interval by Oliver Mowat, whose official life began in the Brownâ€"Dorien Govern- ment of 1858.

It was to provide just such camps that the Canadian Reading Camp Association started operations abOut three years ago. -First the association started in one or tWO lumber camps in New On- tario, and at its own expense built shanties, supplying them with tables and bookshelves, and stocked these well with books, games, writing maâ€" terials and newspapers. These papers were all uprtoâ€"date, so that the lum‘ bermen could keep themselves posted in the news of the day. It was de- clared at first that the daily papers could not be got, but the associa- tion argued, the Wagons have to go to the railway station regularly for the supplies, why should they not bring the daily papers, too? A strong leather bag was provided to hold them, and the daily papers in the camps Was soon a matter of course. The books, a circulating lib- rary of fifty volumes, were provided by the Provincial Government. The men in charge of these reading camps are men of education, general ability and thorough Christian character. Protestant or Catholic, it. matters not whiph, so long as their character is above reproach. Part of their e);â€" penses is paid by the association, and part they earn in the woods at work with the rest of the gang. At first when the big lumber com- panies Were approached and asked to contribute the building they refused, saying there was nothing in it for them. But shortly they changed their minds, and now in every case the company gladly puts up the camp at its own expense. Then it is important that men should be encouraged to spend their Sundays and other spare time in bet- ter ways than huddled in cramped quarters, drinking, gambling, telling How many have molly seen .the inside 01 e lumber comp at night?” Imagine a log shanty, 100 feet long. and wide in proportion; ,b’unksthrefi deep all around, enough for from one to two hundred men. Wet socks, mitts, overalls, shirts are hung up to dry so thick you can hardly see the bunks on the other side. .Some of theemen are trying to mend torn clothing, which must be Vol-n next day, some are trying to rear! in the dim; flickering light, some Want tb- Write, some are talking, some are singing, and as all haye to grind their axes for next day, [two grind- stoues axe busy ”far into the night. Imagine a traveling preacher trying to get a. hearing here.‘ He cannot even see above twenty of his audiâ€" ence at a time. Suppose there is no preacher, what chance have the men for rest or recreation? Think what a boon to them would be a special rest and recreation camp. They would be able to live more as civil- ized human beings should. Then when the occasional preacher came along they Would be able to hear him in comfort. And what applies to lumber camps applies to mining and railway construction camps “*Cost?" to ‘be sure it will cost something, every good thing does, but! as Mr. Fitzpatrick (who, by the way. is an ordained Presbyterian minister); points out, “it will cost the country 105: to provide both- rooms, laundries and reading camps than the revenue that would be deâ€" rived from the additional number of good citizens. An enlightened and healthy citizenship is a better asset than ignorant and filthy slaves.

Sundays and rainy days in camp, when men are ofi Work, are the longest in the year. Men suffer more from ennui, from mental and spiritual languor, than from over- work on other days. They are then ready to jump at any suggestion, no matter how vulgar, that promises even temporary relief from such bon- dage. Their moral diseases, that “are the result of this lack of social and religious restraint, are of a much more serious character. As a matter of fact employers ofâ€" ten fear to give their men too much spare time, not from mercenary mo- tives, but lest the time should be abused and employed in gambling, It was with this in view that a new department of this Association was startedâ€"tho Camp School. Here any man or bay can, while doing his Work all winter in the woods, have the same advantages of evening classes as those living in the city. These reading camps are really ex- tensions of the public library system to meet the needs of isolated places. The separate building is. therefore, necessary if the books are to be within the reach of all, and yet proâ€" perly taken care of. It is than problem which Mr. Al- fred Fitzpatrick, of Nairn Centre, has laid himself out to solve. He put up the test camps before menâ€" tioned and was the means of getting the Pro\ incial Government to take the matter up. ‘ Winn you consider that from fifteen to twenty per cent. of the men in lumber camps cannot recognize their own name on a. letter, and that there drinking and Worse evils.

Parker’s brother, the subject of this sketch, was also in the Im- perial service having served in the Royal Navy for many years. About forty years ago he retired from the navy and located at Gay’s River, where ho.had since lived a quiet life. The Parker family has been re- presented in the army and navy for over a hundred years, and was one 01 the oldest in Nova Scotla. Hon. Benjamin Green, who was a promin- ent Nova Scotian of the old days, and Was once'acting Dent-Governor, was grandfather of the deceased. G. H. 0. Parker was twice mar- ried. His first wife was a. Miss Dun- lap 01 a well known Truro family. Three children were born of this un- ion, viz: Mrs. William C. Noble, Boston; Wm. O. N. Puker, connected with the White House Clothing Co. of St. Cntharinee. Ont.; and Arthur Hyde Somerset Parker of St. Lam- bert’e, Montreal. The deceased’eee- (cond wife was a Miss Brehm o! Dartsmouth.

Then all men went abroad with weapons and shields, and, when they met. would etanddn pleasant converse. each with his shield upon his left arm and with right hands clasped so that there would be no chance for a sudden swing of the knife or bludgeon. ,The right hand was invariably used for the weapon. with the result that we are a right-handed race. The reason for this lay undoubtedly in the tact that the left arm was always em- ployed in the important work 0! shielding the heart. Among the common people of the Aryan race. the old pledge o! unity in yielding the right hand to be grasped and held has since remained the chief token of open friendship. In the ma the returning chids were "greeted with extended hands." Even at that remote day the early significance or the handclsep had been lost in the nobler meaning 0! civilized life.
