' ! Montreal.--The magnificent herolam of Adam Daulac, or Dollard, Sieur <les Ormeaux, end his 16 brave companions at the Long Sauit--which has been called "The Thermopylae of Canada"-- has been perpetuated in granite and bronze, and a handsome monument added to'the public treasure* of the city of Montreal. The monument, the work of Alfred Lallberte, stands In Lafontolne park. Unveiling ceremonies took place recently. The 'exploit which has made the name of Dollard immortal in Canadian history, occurred in May, 1QG0. Dollard at that time was commaudnnt of the garrison at Montreal or Vtlle Marie. Paul de Chotnedy, Sfeur de Malssonneuve, who had founded the city In 1642, was governor. For *ome months the colony had been in danger of extinction at the hands of the Iroquois. Dollard, who had come to the colony three years before, .at the age of twenty-two, asked leave of Mnlsohneute to lead a party of Volunteers against the Iroquois. It was known that hundreds of Indian war* riors lay at the mouth of the Richelieu river, below Montreal, while hundreds more were on the Ottawa river, above'Montreal. Three Rivers and Quebec were to be wiped out. Dollard's plan was- to meet the Indian warriors on their way down the Ottawa and give battle, regardless of numbers. Sixteen men Joined him in his desperate enterprise. All took an oath to accept no quarter, made their wills, and attended a religious service. They proceeded up the St. Lawrence, entered the Ottawa, at the head of the Island of Montreal--where the swift currents baffled them for a week--crossed the I«ke of Two Mountains, and passed Carillon, 50 miles above Montreal. At the Lonq Sault. Finally they reached the foot of a swlrlin? torrent of waters, barring the way. The Indian warriors had to pass that way and 'hnt was the pla«.H» to meet th®ra. Dollard and his men took possession of a pRilsode fort near the river's edge, built by an Algonquin war party some months before. They were soon joined by 40 friendly Hurons and four Algocquins. In a day or two the Iroquois made their appearance." Their advance ghard, while making an attempt to land, was fired upon. Those who escaped reported to the main body, 200 strong, about the Sault. The Indians quickly descended the rapids In their war canoes and fell to the attack. - They rushed upon the little garrison, but were driven back. Capturing the birch canoes of the Frenchmen and lheir Indian companions, they set them ablaze and attempted to do the same with the palisade. A withering Ore greeted them and they retired In defeat. During the next attack, immediately after, one of their great cnlefs fell. For five days and nights the straggle continued. The defenders were without water and were unable to swallow the crushed Indian corn they had for food. Their Indian allies deserted them, with the exception of four Aigonqulns and one Huron. On the fifth day re-enforcements to *2* • the number of 500 reached the Iroquois. and a savage assault was trade on the palisade. The French were on the alert, and the Indians were onc-« more compelled to retire. Other attacks were made in the three following days, but with no success. Last Grand Assault. The Iroquois then determined upon a general assault. Great shields of wood, four or five feet high, were made, and under the cover of these the warriors came on. In the face of a heavy lire they succeeded In reaching the palisade, crouching low. and atoartpted to cut their way In with hatchett At this point Dollr.nl cramme# > hlg musketoon with powder, and ptattfted up the muzzle.

Pressing the assault at thlf iftoinent of confusion, the Iroquois tfrust their firearms Into the loopholes and fired. A breach was made in the fort and Dollard and his men ^sprang forward to the defense. Other breaches were made, and Dollard met a sotd'er's fate. His followers threw themselves upon, their assailants, but the end had come at last. - * The #7 young heroes from Montreal gave th3lr lives, but not In vain, for the Iroquois abandoned their enterprise, having had more than enough of battle, and Montreal, Three Rivers and Quebec were savefe- * y,v . > ? ^ &tanftar2> for tip j (SfrriBtmag ©m I By DOROTHY PERKINS j (Copyright by A.

He can veto a bill passed In both houses; be can dissolve and summon parliament; he can select or dismiss his ministers: be can declare war; he can make treaties and create peers; he can appoint bishops, governors and Judges-- and all "on his own." He could cede the duchv of Cornwall to a foreign power, disband the army and navy, and cell the dreadnaughts and naval stores. He could give every government official, from the highest to the lowest, the "push." could pardon all criminals, and could stop the whole machinery of government But there is an unwritten law of common sense, fortified by long usage, which makes It unthinkable that the king should do these tilings; and in the last resort which Is never likely to occur, the king, being a constitutional monarch, reigns by the will of the people, and could be deposed by act of parliament, --Montreal Herald.
