CANADIAN STATESMEN.
How They Act While Attending Thei1
Duties In Parliament.

How They Act While Attending Their
Duties In Parliament.
It is a mistake to think that the act
which led to the confederation of the
various provinces in 1867 has attained
no higher meaning in the life of the
Canadian people than that OF con-
stitutional union. 1t carries with it a
meaning of far deeper import--a union
OF hearts, whose offspring is oneness of
patriotic aim and purpose. Of course
it would be idle to say that the Cana
dian people are a unit upon all ques-
tons of vital interest to the life and
growth of the dominion. The geo
graphical interests of Canada are so
varied that there must necessarily be
at times some friction and clashing OF
provincial needs and ambitions. This
is the case at Washington; this is the
case, too, in so small confederation
as the eantons of Switzerland.
A stranger visiting the gallery of the
Canadian house of commons is struck
With the dignity and decorum which
mark the proceedings and surround
even the warmest and keencst OF de-
bates. Parliamentary procedure be
ing rigidly adhered to, there is little
room for unseemly encounters, which
usually grow out of uncallcd for per-
sonalities in the heat Of a discussion.
Sometimes, however, when the house
has been sitting for hours, wearied
with the perplexities and incoherencies
of some member from ''way back" sud
denly, as if through the unity of des-
peratioa, the usual dignity of the house
IS relaxed and grave members from
such intellectual centers as Montreal
and Toronto play the schoolboy and
outvic one another in ''shying" blue
books at the heads of slumbering and
inofTensive members. OF the 215 mem
bers that make up the house of com
mons, in point of ability and gifts, 20
per cent. of them are below lncdiocrity;
20 per cent. of them occupy the plane of
mediocrity; 40 per cent. possess ad-
mitted ability, and the remaining 20
per cent. are men ofcommanding talent.

carrying the Mormon people and their

crossed the Big Blue at this now his
toric spot there was scarcely a vestige
of civilization in that region Of coun-
try. For ages its prairics had been
covered with waving sea of wild
grasses; vast herds of buffaloes had
for nunlber1ess years wandered almost
unmoIested across them. Nothing dis
turbed its solitude save an occasional
band of nomadic indians in search of
prey or plumber and the hardy from
tiersruan, who is always found far in
advance OF civilization. As early as
1920 Mai. Stephen II. Long crossed that

county in command of an expedition
from Pittsburgh 10 the Rocky noun

II was in 1s47 that John Smith, the
Mormon apostle, with his band of fol-

through this country crossing the zig
Blue river at the old Mormon "Inde-
pendence" or California" crossing
This was six miles below the present
town Of Maryville, the county seat of
Marshall county For two years the
exiled Latter-Day Saints passed over
the trail that led to this crossing of
the Big Blue river. At one time Nor
mon camping party was surrounded
by Indians at this famous spot and all
were killed. Among the party were
several elders of the Mormon faith who
were going to the western home to
look after the spiritual welfare Of the
pioneers who had gone before. Ever
since the Mormons of Missouri, Illinois
and Iowa have made annual pilgrimages
to Above springs, where appropriate
services are held.-St Louis Republic.

THE MECCA OF MORMONS.
Historic Spot Annually Visited by
These People.
Memorial Services Are Held Each Year
at AIcove Springs, Kan, Where
Pioneers of the Faith Were
Massacred.

During the past two months hundreds
of Mormons residing near lndepen-
dence, Mo-; Nauvoo, Ill, and in Lee
county, Ia, have been making their an
nual pilgrimages to the old Mormon
crossing of the Big Blue river in Mar
shall county. Near this historic spot
are the Above springs, where so many
# their people were mastered by the
indians in 1916 as they were making
heir way across the Great American
lesert to Salt lake. They have been
listing the old crossing in small bands
since the first of September, crossing
the Zig Blue where their forefathers
did and resting a few days near the
springs. where religious services were
regularly held in commcmoration OF
the early pioneers who braved the
DANGERS and opened the way to the new
Mormon settlement at Great Salt lake.
'rbe old Mormon or independence"
crossing of the Big Blue is one of the
most historic spots in Kansas. 1t has
been visited by thousands of Mormons
since the days of 1916 and the people
who now live in the vicinity look for
ward to the pilgrimage of these people
every year as one of the incidents OF
special note in Marshall county. 1t
is the most beautiful and romantic spot
in all Kansas. The Big Blue river is
a stream as clear as crystal, and the
.Alcove springs are located in a seques-
tered nook, which seems to have been
made by nature for such gatherings as
these.

A boy, rather bright looking, almost

merchant. He was there in response to
an advertisement that called for a
"bright, reliable boy, with no bad

merchant concluded to quiz the
youngster, partly for amusement and
partly to get some idea of his aptitude.
