Tho most delightful thing IN the life Of
northern Australia IL It's sans souci an.
poaranoc. Existence Ia literally ont doors,
and people live rs II burglars were un.
known. have ridden past houses 10 tho
early morning, and have seen the yoran.
das Uttered with books, bfic a.brar, walk.
ing sticks, hats, lamps and other articles,
and the door wide open. Night after night
things are left So aud they are not stolen.
Stealing is punished ia Queensland with
the greatest rigor A man might be guilty
Of mhnsiaughtcr and stand In better odor
with the auihuritlgs than the thief | have
ridden to a plantation late 10 night, turned
my horso into The horse paddock, entered
the house, struck a match, found q sofa,
d. down. and awoke In the morning tn
Md lie biustliug about me, my brcakiaA
ready, and an utter stungcrl
Such Il the freedom Of the life. wns n

yambond, they appreciated tho desire on
my part to not disturb their rest, aud they

Every planter has not merely ono room
IN bis house which Ia called the strnnerrs'
room, but several, and ,hey are seldom
empty In the days that visited Pride,
the planter, there were six guests bcsidus
myself thcrc. Imagine a house through
which the warm air will blow from side TO
side and from end to end. with a gtoup OF
buildings ~ dormitorics Mt the left, and
another group ~ kitchens and store. nj
the right, aud grnced with all the comforts
and with little Of the conventional stiffness
Of metropolitan lie. which has dignity

ness and you have the planters home.
Put roses aud bamboos, olcandcrs and
camolllas, lines and oranges, laurcstlnus
and jasmine, pineapple and bongainyillia,
the glorious pawpaw and gtanadllla, a ten.
MS court, and perhaps nn observatory, and
you have planters garden. Then put In.
aide the house anil garlcn healthy gen.
crosiiy, great self reliance, mind given
10 insisting blunily on the wisdom Of it,
connections, hand ready 10 pour you out
n glass u sherry or indlte n philippe
against a government or Sir Samuel Gfif.
nth. who has opposed Polynoslan labor.
aud that i Pride, the planter.
What you find Of ligh;ncss and comfort
In the house Of Pride, the planter, YOU lind
in degrees In all the north. Order and
cleanliness reign. You may miss At times
ycrdure and foliage. but never that va.
lagos and towns arr swept and gnrnishcd
and the people love flowers. And 10
straight across the continent 20 Perth, Al
bAny, York or Gcral1ton. and the snmo
thing may be found.
You will lnd coupled with this energy
self confidence, freshness, aggressive aasrr.
ton aud generous warmth. Because these
have always been difficult question. TO
face, because unexpected circumstAnccs
have called for Immediate action, because
development has come by leaps aud
bounds, and because there have been strug.
giles between class aud class, thorc has
been produced an outstanding race OF men,
irasclble, yet hospitable, strenuous and
stnlwart. yet not robustious, explosive, yet
not troublesome; uncompromlsing, yet
generous. That Is the true Australian.
The pcrsiatency and sclishncss OF the
trades unions are not Australian. II Is
English, with sense Of freedom borrowed
from easier conditions Of life. and knowl.
edge OF power gained from the FORMS Of
American and English existence. IL ia.
grated MISUNDERSTANDING In the cities
that " ultra democratic. Australia itself
moves In ample assertion, but II has also
sound sentiment or patriotism. Itsnatural
tendency u toward hero worship, but tho
faculty has not scope. for want Of heroes
No great crisis has drawn tho colonies 10.
Eether, and Of late years but few OF the
BEST men have gone into public llfc.--Cll.
