'v- .7--- There are almost as many different kinds and qualities of Furs as there are different kinds of Peeple. Furs are not like cloths, there are no two garments exactly alike, and for this reason, the price necessarily varies. It is therefore important to buy Furs directly from the Manufacturer and only from houses of unquestioned reputation for honorable dealing in whom you can place implicit confidence.

HUGHES A Splendid Demonstration on Friday Night TOn Friday eVening last, the mem- bers of No. 6 Company 46th Victoria. Regiment, and the citizens of Wood- ville and North Victoria, united in tendering Lt.â€"Col. Hughes a. right royal welcome on his return from South Africa. This Was the first vis- it of the popular member for North ‘Victoria to this part of his constitu- ency since his return. and a. tremend- ous throng assembled at the station to meet him on the arrival of the ev- ening train. and after a brief address extended an invitation to Dr. McKay, Rev. W. G. Clarke, B.A., Rev. MCI). Duncan, 13. A.,- W. H. Hoyle, and others, to take seats on the platform.~ Councillor Nicholls took the chair Col. Hughes was invited to come forward and was cheered loudly when he stepped to the front of the plat.â€" form in his attractive khaki uniform Lieut. D. McMillan then read the fol- lowing addres-s : To Lieutenantâ€"Colonel Sam. Hughes commanding 45th Victoria Regiment of the Active Militia of Canada. Sir,â€"-We your fellow-country- meo of all classes, and your com- rades in arms, beg most sincerely to extend to you a right hearty ‘ welcome on your safe return from the war in South Africa. Canada is justly proud of her soldier sons who staked all on the bloody fields of South Africa for the honor of the Motherland and the security of that Greater Britain whose solidarity was challenged by the trumpet blast of the arrogant Boer. Who will ever forget the day when every true Canadian heart was mo ved with the news that, on the 27th of February at Paardcberg the soldier lads of Canada. had recen- ed their first baptism of fire and The country is prosperous. All adm’t it. In a greaters or less degree most people associate that prOSperity with the policy of the government in power. Whether prosperity comes as a result of that policy or in Spite of it, is a big question, but one that leaves it un- doubted that under the existing policy we have good times. That says much for the pclioy. It proves that it is at least not so vicious as to defeat the natural forces that make for prosperity. It is§a great thing for a nation of such happy natural conditions as Canada possesses, to get even that much. The policy of the government is one of protection. Notwith- standing the promises of the Liberals tofabolish that system, they did not do it. It is well they did not. Give them credit for having that much sense. The conservative party is the party of protection. To it belongs the policy under which Canada has been, and is, prosperous. Protec- ti0n is natural to that party. Its leaders know the spirit of the great system which their Chieftain originated, and they have developed. They love it. and understand best how to bring it to perfection. It is well known, however, that the Liberals are free-traders. They are not friends of protection. It is a policy foreign to Liberal traditions and sympathies. The present government adopting protec- tion is like a. swale hen acting foster. mother to a bird of paradise. Now it is surely not attacking the Liberals to sav that Conserva- tives should have the opportunity of operating their own policy. We are not pirates. We understand something of the rights of inventors and discoverers. The product of one man’s genius or toil must not go to another. One party must not get credit for another party’s product. The Liberals have not put Canada under a policy of their own. The Conservative policy is that under which the country is administered. Then let Conservatives administer it. It was supposed that Liberals had some policy of their own, and they were put into office to have an opportunity of putting it into operation; Four years has proved they have none. The old policy has been retained ; the old 'party should be in power. If the country wants Liberalism and free trade,, let it have them; but if it wants protection, it is certainly not unfair to ask that it let the party of protection provide it; Common honesty dictates that the Conservative party shall be returned to power next election. LET US HAVE FAIR PLAY blood ? Henceforth the khaki and crimson hue of our national Maple Leaf is vested with a sig- nifigance that will not fade from the memory of a grateful and all- miring poster:.ty. “The Maple Leaf our emblem dear The Maple Leaf forever.” Throughout that vast field of operations whereVer the Maple Leaf has been borne, there Can- ada’s heart has followed. Wheth- er under the immediate eye of "Little Bobs”â€"â€"God bless himâ€" outflanking and pushing back the enemy,â€"â€"even though a little Over alous in “cooning” Boer chick 115,â€"01‘ with General Buller trusted in command but still more noble in adversity, or breaking all records to be in at the finish at Mafeking. or suppressing rebellion in Griqualand, where you sir, rendered such distinguished ser- vice to the cause, or guardingâ€"{ht- lines of communication. there Canâ€" ada’s heart has been. We conâ€" gratulate you, sir, not only be- cause. of the complete victory that has been gained by you and the many thousands of Britain’s soldâ€" iers for the principles of equality and justice, the outraging of which had bI‘OUg-lt again into the battlefield the grand old flag that has “braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze.” Once more it ha.‘ been demon- strated to the world that what- ever else Britain lacks, she lacks not courage in her sons, ay and daughters tooâ€"Whether peer or peasant, and devotion to the noblest principles of freedom and progress. Once more it has been proved that “Let a cause of necessity come And she can strike and she will strike, And strike home.” The sentiment of loyalty in Canada which sent our various contingents to battle for Queen and Empire was not local, limitâ€" ad or provisional, but widespread, spontaneous and overwhelming. We do not all see eye to eye, and we wage many a wordy, though bloodless, war among ourselves, in our social and political affairs, but in presence of national and imperial danger we are one. 'And we meet here toâ€"night to do hon- or to one who has proved him- self to be one of Canada’s foreâ€" most soldier sons. Recognizing that the cause for which you fought, was national and imperial lay aside all minor consider- War was terrible, and many patriots now slept their last sleep on the South African’ veldt. He referred briefly to the. gallantry of the Cana- dians at Paardeberg and through- out the campaign. During the last week of his career, when engaged in clearing the country, the Boers stat- ed that their reason for surrendering was that they thought his force were all Canadians. He also paid a high compliment to the bravery shown by the Australians and other colonial forces. At Colesburg some thirty Australians were surrounded by a ations and tender to you, Colonel Hughes, an unstinted and enthusi- astic welcome to the midst of your countrymen. ‘ At this point little Miss Nicholls Stepped forward and presented a. handsome .boquet to C01. Hughes,who 'was again heartily cheered as he kissed the Winsome donor. Col. Hughes’ Reply. Col. Hughes expressed his hearty sppreciation of the spirit that prompted the people of his own home to tender him a public reception. But this hearty endorsation of his course was really more than he an- ticipated. There were several good boys from North Victoria in the South African forces. Mr. Geo. Laidâ€" law was among the number. There were fully twentyâ€"five, mostly men who had enlisted in the Northwest. large force of the enemy and met. their death like heroes rather than surrender. Only one escaped to tell the story. That; day’s paper re. counted the story of how five brave Strathconas fell rather than surrend- er, putting to death no less than fif- teen before they were bowled over. That; was the way our boys did it, never considering the number or strength of the force against them. He considered “Thomas Atkins" the greatest soldier under heaven. He never kicked at, anything. unless they were short of tobacco. He. Was alâ€" ways ready to do his duty. The Highlanders lost 1,000 men in about fifteen minutes. Were they discour- aged ‘? No. They returned to their camp and sang their songs as though nothing had" happened." The Sea- forthsâ€"to which he was attached for a. time always sang their “Annie Laurie” and other songs before they go into an engagement. He would not argue the right of Canadians to take part in the South African war. Suffice it to say. they went. He had volunteer “(l to raise 1,000 men and believed he could raise 100,000 men if the Empire were again assail- ed. He then outlined the cause of the rebellion and gave a pen picture of the people. There were other reasons outside the franchise for the trouble. There had been a move- ment. on foot long before the Majuba. war to drive out the British flag and establish a United Dutch Republic. He then spoke lightly of the actual fighting and stated that While the war had lasted nearly a year the aC* tual fighting did not approach anyâ€" ithing like that. The time was tak- en up in marching over a. great ex- panse of country. It. was different with the men‘ on transport duties. They worked twenty hours out of the twentyâ€"four but they did not re- ceive. any of Lhe glory. He consider- ed the death rate very low when compared with the mortuary iables of insurance companies. He had ad- ‘vocated sending men to South Africa. and had offered his services, and was at one time selected as second in com- mand by the Minister of Militia. He would not discuss the reason why he did not go, at the present time. He paid a. high \fibute to the gallantry shown by the son of the Hon. Dr. Borden, who gave up his life for the Empire. He, the colonel, had gone to South Africa and after filling respon- sible positions in the Intelligence Department, was given a chance in the fighting line and was second in command. After the war was prac- ‘tically over in the part of the count- tically over in the part of the count- ry in which he was, and nothing was left but garrisoning Kaffir villages he resigned and came home, never hav- ing done anything that was a dis- grace to Canada or British, arms. He came back in charge of 800 of the finest British soldiers. In conclusâ€" ion Col. Hughes expressed his regret. that he had not had the services of Capt. Staples and some of the Wood. §vi11e boys.
