and recognized all old trooper OF his
command.

'fThey are handsome, aren't they,

waving his hand toward Il group nf

been chatting, "tell me- which OF those
three young ladies is the pretticst-"
CAV, Gen Young, they's all pooty.
Twonldn't be good inner for me

"But, Jake, it will give them a great
deal of pleasure to learn your opinion.
They are great friends, and will not
feel at all hurt at your decision. Nov,
walk right up and pick out the best
looking"
After much solicitation Jake under
took the task. He walked up and
peered closely at the laughing glrls.
About one hundred guests had gath
cred by this time to see the trial.
Finally Jake turned, scratching his
head. All three of the young ladies'
wore broad sashes around their waists.
"Gineral Young, they's all three so
pooty 1t Is hard to make a choice, but
still I am fo'ced to say that the one
with the yaller belly-band is IL little

There was a cream, IA tlutter of

sashes, dashed into the hotel out OF

plain to me that Canada cares
more for Britain than Britain does for
Canada. Meeting such pleasant people
and receiving SO much kindness and
polite attention from them | felt that il
would be bad taste in me to pronounce
the i'll chosen word "a%nneXation." But
| wondered if they could ever put them
selves i'm our place and see that Canada
is a club in the hands OF Great Britain
and that we naturally do not like TO
see it assume any more formidable pro.
portions. In ordinary business and

their influence will be powerful.
Everything here will double in value
almost at once and some of our most
desirable northern European immi-
grants will settle in them instead of
| our present northern states. The
French states would naturally unite
politically with Louisiana and the
English ones with New York City. SO
that the Canadian states, New York
City and the solid south would have
the greatest influence on our national
policy. Some persons yer now sus-
pect that our present secretary of state
fears the coming of that day and is
trying to irritate and annoy Canadians
into hatred for the United States.
Certainly the Canadians are too
sturdy a people to take a back seat il
they enter our union.
Every American has a ''policy" ana
mine is that we should buy out Great
| Britain in North and South America,
as we bought out France and Russia,
and assume the Dominion debt. Then
England could go on in her contest
with Russia which is TO decide who

between it and India, and who is to
have China. For they will II day be
either English or Cossack. 1t is a race
between English law and language on
