Railway Guards Uncovered a Real Live Plot--For a Few Minutes. "What's this?' ejaculated the first man, holding up a small can. "Lemme see,' came the answer. A moment's pause. Then a fright- ened scream from the second person and two pairs of feet scampering away, a maddened rush, a frenzied dash. "What's -- what's the matter?" gasped the first man, after he had followed the second at a dead heat for some five minutes. "That was -- nitro-glycerine -- in that can," gasped the second in turn. "'Nitro-glycerine!" echoed the first, pronouncing every syllable, his eyes bulging. The two stared at each other without speaking. They were bridge guards on a railway in old Ontario and, as was their custom, they made an examination of the ground under their bridge every morning. "Well, we'd better tell the boss. I'll find him. You go back," said the second guard. "Oh, no! I'll find the boss," said the first guard, his cheeks paling. "We'll both go,' they eventually agreed, and in fifteen minutes three forms could be seen on a handcar dashing madly along the track to- ward the bridge. They stopped about twenty yards from the bridge and under the direction of the two shivering guards "'the boss' descend- ed into the hollow under the bridge. approached the spot Gingerly he stooped and as carefully lifted it up. The brave guards were now standing peside him looking on. Then "the boss's'" eyes gleamed, his nostrils dilated. "Fatheads!"' he roared, 'that's brass polish!" Queen Anne's Gifts. The old Mohawk church near Brantford, one of the oldest churches in Ontario, has many relics of his- toric interest still in its possession, among them a silver communion ser- vice presented by Queen Anne, which bears the royal arms and the inscrip- tion, "The Gift of Her Majesty Anne, by the Grace of God of Great Britain and Ireland and Her Planta- tions in North America, Queen, to her Indian Chappell of the Mohawks, 1712." <A Bible, also the gift of Queen Anne, is inscribed with the names of royal visitors. Both Bible and communion service were deeply revered by the Indians and guarded most jealously. They were buried by the Indians during the war of 1812-14 and restored later to their present position, The tablets, altar cloth and"royal -- coat-of-arms of George III., above the entrance, were sent from Hng- land by the Government in 1876. Not the least interesting of these valuable relics retained by the church is the oldest church bell in Ontario. Cracked and dust-laden, it still com- Premier Hearst and Late Sir Georg¢ Ross Became Lawyers In 1888. There is a circumstance in the «a reer of the Hon. W. H. Hearst, On: | tario's new Premier, which will prob- ably afford some entertainment tu | those who take an interest in work: | ing out coincidences. He was called | to the Bar at the end of the Michael- | mas term in 1888. As usual several) | other men were similarly honored on the same occasion, among them being | quite a number who have subsequent- ly distinguished themselves in pub-| lic life. Of these, the most interest- | ing, in view of recent developments, wag the late Sir George W. Ross. Sir George was of course a much older man than Mr. Hearst, and he | was a member of the Provincial Goy- ernment even then, but he took the | Law Society's examinations and re- | ceived his call to the Bar along with | the young law student who was des-; tined to follow him later on in the Premiership. | In the same class of 1888 there, graduated among others, F. A. Ang: : lin, now one of the puisne judges of | the Supreme Court of Canada; Hugh Guthrie, now M.P, for South Welling- ton; C. R. Fitch, who became judge of the Rainy River District a few | years ago, and N. F. Davidson, K.C., | of Toronto, Those were the days be- fore the Law School course had been regularly established, and Mr. Hearst, who had received his training in an Owen Sound office, was not brought into personal touch with many of the men who happened to be called at the same time. The Sault Ste. Marie to which the young lawyer went, after receiving his call, was by no means the flour- ishing place it has since become, It was a mere village, containing only one or two thousand inhabitants. This in itself is significant, since it illustrates once again the fact that even a small town may afford a man opportunities for advancement in the long run, if he is only persistent and diligent. The' spectacle of young Hearst, just turned twenty-five confi- dently settling himself in the crude new town at the Soo, and applying himself zealously to whatever work offered, is a godd object-lesson for young Canada to-day. Work has been the new Premier's obsession, and steady application to work is the secret of his advance- ment. It has been his sole employ- ment, and at the Parliament Build- ings it has been no uncommon thing for him to remain at his desk far into the night. Since he took office in 1911, it ig said that he has not missed a day at his office, except when out of the city on departmental or private business. One may search the membership lists of every golf, bowling, and ath- letic club in the city for his name, but in vain. He does not frequent any gymnasium or indulge in the } em a = (hie) waitin', will shome (hic) noble |lord pleash (hic) shing a comic shong?"' | | | | | born, scholarly, cultured, Catholic gentleman. He has a fine presence and a face that beams with benignity | and sheds sunny smiles. Well-inform- ed, polished, graceful, and fluent in conversation, an earnest, eloquent preacher, and zealous, devoted minis- ter, he is revered and beloved by all ereeds and classes in the town of Galt, where he has labored for fifteen years before going to Hamilton a short time ago, a model ecclesiastic and exemplar of all-round good citi- zenship. And if, in this connection one were to tell a bit av a shtory--the same being on the good dean's own cher- ; ished 'lisht," if I am not mistaken-- maybe it, might not detract from the dignity nor impair the sincerity of this passing tribute to the virtues, character, and capabilities of the new Dean of St. Patrick's, Hamilton. Heffernan and Murphy, at the noon hour, were discussing the work in hand. "otis har-rd labor, this dhrain- diggin',"' declared the former. 'Tis that, indade," assented the latter. "Now, for a nice, clane, da- cint, as well as aisy job, Heffernan, ' gimme e@ bishop!" | Fire Insurance a Tax. i Fire insurance is no doubt an in- stitution of great benefit, especially after a fire loss. Nevertheless, it is a striking commentary upon the business judgment of the Canadian citizen that fire insurance is now also characterized as a tax, distributed, through the buying and selling pro- cess, upon the entire community; that every additional fire and every extra fire hazard tends to increase this tax, while every precaution for fire prevention and for the reduction in the number of fire losses tends to lessen the insurance rate. The busi- ness man must shift the cost of in- suring his goods to the consumer, and, not only is the amount of this tax added, but, as this is part of the cost of doing business, he is entitled to a profit on it as well. Moreover the amount of rent which the busi- ness man has to pay is influenced by the cost of insuring the premises oc- cupied, and this tax, too, is concealed in the selling price of his goods. This fire insurance tax must also be added to the selling cost at every handling between the original raw material and the finished article.-- "Conservation." Received News of Atrocities. Miss Linda Boyd, Belleville, has received a letter from a friend in England, saying that in Vottingham, a village of about 500 people, within 20 miles of London, about 20 Bel- gian refugees were being eared for. Amongst these homeless people were five little children who had both hands and feet cut off, and one wo-, man who had a thumb pulled out of ious societies. Then there is his "People's For- um," a Sunday afternoon addressed weekly by men of all na- tions, a highly successful attempt to make progress in the understanding of the foreigner's viewpoint in Can- ada, and an assurance to him that the adopted country is anxious to help him to help himself.

The Pen- sion Act now in force has been found inadequate to meet the conditions resulting from the present war. The Cabinet and the militia council have indicated the amounts which will be paid to the widows and families of | those who lose their lives in active service and also to disabled soldiers. Larger pensions will be paid than the Imperial Government allows. It is expected that at the very least it | will be 50 per cent. of the soldier's pay for the widow and extra for | ehildren and dependents, whereas in Great Britain it is only three-tenths. | This is the amount paid by the Im- perial Government to widows of ' Ganadians who lost their lives in the South African war. The pensions following upon casu- alties to volunteers in active service will be dealt with in a special act, but pensions for those in the perman- ent force ané members of the militia department will be dealt with in the civil service pension bill which But , will come up next session.

Speck- Dominion Government, to obtain defi- nite data concerning the topography of the country northward from the Peace River district to the Arctic Ocean, has returned to Eastern Can- ada, after six months' absence from civilization. The expedition was cal- culated to last for over a year, but the party were fortunate enough to come across an Alaskan whaler, southbound, and by taking advantage of the chance to get southwards, they were able to escape the rigor of the severe Arctic winter. Mr. Boyd has some _ interesting tales to tell regaraing the trip. Boyd, who graduated from. the faculty of forestry of Toronto Univer- sity, was chosen as a member of the party which left Edmonton in April. Arriving in the north before the short Arctic summer had begun, the little party made its way northwards not- ing *he topographical features of a country which was hitherto known only vaguely. Foll»wing the steps of Steffanson, they proceeded to within a few miles of the Arctic coast. Much valuable information was gathered in the course of the rip which will be duly reported to the Government, Registration of Aliens. It may be necessary to have only one place of registration in Ontario for aliens of enemy countries. Hon. C. J. Doherty, Minister of Justice, in- timated the other day, after a meet- ing of the Cabinet, that a registra- tion office would be opened in Ot- tawa, but not at present in Toronto, although, if he found it advisable to do so, one would later be opened there. j The Government is opening offices at Montreal, Ottawa, Sydney, Fort William, Regina, Calgary and Ed- monton. Silas H. Carpenter, commis- sioner of police in the Interior De- partment, and formerly ehief detec- tive of Montreal, will have charge of the Montreal office and district. The others have not yet been selected. As soon as the approximate num- ber of aliens of enemy countries in Canada is known the Government will proceed. with the internment it- self, The control and direction of the internment will be under the direc- tion of Maj.-Gen, Otter.
