GEN. NEAL DOW.

General Neal Dow did not live to see
his particular plan of dealing with the
liquor traffic widely adopted, but he did
live to see general recognition by al
most the whole civilized world of the
evil of the traffic, general agreement
that it was inimical to the public wei
fare.and general admission that it's sup
preston would be- for the public good.
The iniquity of the liquor traffic is SO
generally recognized today that it is hard
to realize that when General Dow put on
his armor it was regarded generally as
quite as legitimate a traffic as any other.
But such was the fact, and the
resistance he then met with was not
what it became in later years, re-
to the purpose and object of that method.
To estimate General BOWS services to
the cause of temperance by the extent of
the adoption of his plan for the extinction
of the liquor traffic, is to vastly underesti-
mate it. 1t is essential to reformation
that there should be conviction that the
thing to be reformed is evil, and often
times the hardest part of the reformer's
work lies in that direction To rouse a
people and convince them of the iniquity
Of practice to which they have long been
accustomed, is under any circumstances
an arduous task, but when the abandon
ment of that practice involves the de-
struction of many peoples sources of in
come, the task becomes herculean. But
that was the task which the early TEN
perance reformers had to face. That they
were band of men of the stuff of which
martyrs are made is conclusively shown
by the nature of the task which they
assumed. None but men of the most in
tense convictions and of the most fearless
spirit, mensready to face obloquy and
misrepresentation men of dauntless cour-
age and most persistent energy would
have voluntarily become pioneers in such
Il movement. In this band of men General
Dow was leader. He was the most I'M
comprom ising of them all. And he was
a leader who kept himself in front of the
troops, SO far in front Of them sometimes
that he had to make the fight al
most single handed. Whether his plan of
battle was always the wisest, whether
other methods would not sometimes have
accomplished better results, are questions
on which there viii be difference of
opinion, but of his sincerity, of his in
tense earnestness, OF the purity of his pur-
pose there is no room for doubt. No
amount of opposition daunted him in
the least. There was in him no lack of
convictions and no lack of courage in
maintaining them. He was always in the
thickest of the fight. Firm belief

It seems to be settled that Senior Sa-

if he can get together cabinet. He will
assume the reins of government at a
very critical period. Spain is bankrupt,
the people are uneasy. and the Carlist
pretenders are ready when there appears
TO be any chance of success, to make an
attempt to seize the government. Sagas

WALES POPULARITY.

Nothing has ever seriously affected

Ladies' Home Journal AS the queens
son he has, of course, his own share of
that loyalty which burns in all British
hearts. but he has a great deal more
than that. 1t is felt that he has done
much, in very difficult circumstances.
TO earn the good will and even affec-
ton of the people whom he will some
day address as my people. He mingles
with them, and is of them. Little
things count for much. The crowds
that gather about the gates of Marl-
borough House in Pail Mall in patient
expectation of the exit or entrance OF
the prince and princess, are supposed
TO like a spectacle, and no doubt they
do. They delight 20 behold them drive
in or out in a gilded coach with an
escort of the splendid Life Guards But
they like almost better to see the prince
drive away in handsom cab.
THE Englishman loves sport and
games, and TO the great body of the
people the prince seems a more engag-
ing parsonage because he frankly gives
the rein to his tastes for outdoor and
indoor diversions. They gather in
crowds to see him start for EPSON on
Derby day. They cheer him on the
Downs and on Newmarket Heath. They
back his horse. not a few of them be-
cause it is his. They like to see his
name high among the winners of the
year, as it now is, after long course
of i'll luck on the turf. Thev like to
think of him as the country gentleman
at Sandringham, busy with the man
agement of his estate, receiving guests.
taking the lead in shooting and other
amusements. They like to see him on
horseback in Hyde park, where he rides
often. They like to see him at theatres,
where they always recognize and often
cheer him. In short, they like to think
of him as one of themselves"

Almost Incredible Figures Furnished by Representative
Of One of the Leading Transatlantic
Passenger Lines.
Add the Money Brought Here by immigrants, the Total
Far Exceeds the Sum Expended by Our
Tourists Abroad.

SO large business here as ours, but
still, it is likely that $1,500,000 would be
a fair estimate for the New York ex-
penditures of each line. Now, as there
are twelve main lines, IL each spends
81 ,o00,0 they all spend $1S.000000 in
New York alone. OF course, each Of
these lines, in addition to the New York
expenditures. must also buy largely in
America for the stocking of their Eu-
ropean stores. the same as our own
line Then there are the tramp steam
ers and the steamers that touch at
other ports than New York to be con-
sidered. l should say that $50,000000
would be a very moderate estimate of
the total amount of money paid to
Americans by trans Atlantic steamship
owners every year. This money ben
efits everybody. There is no class of
persons in the whole United States that
does not share in the profits of this
vast expenditure. The fruit growers of

OLD DADDY HALLS THREE CENTURY SPAN,
One of Queen Ycs Subjects Who Was Fifty-fou Whe"
She Was Crowned and May Yet
Survive Her.

The British Sovereign, who lately
celebrated with such eclat the compile,
ton of the sixtieth year of her reign,
has herself already enjoyed more
than the allotted span of human
life; but it is most interesting to find
feet in memory and in full possession
of his mental powers who was fifty
four years of age when Queen Victoria
ascended the throne. Such a person is
old Daddy" Hall, who lives in his little
cabin in the Driving Park at Owen
Sound, Canada.
Daddy Hall was born in the year 1888.
He is a half breed Indian and negro
and in his youth lived with the Indians
on Walpole Island and the adjoining
mainland. Although he most resem-
bles the negro in features and hair, he
is a thorough Indian in his habits and
was known by the Indians of his tribe
as "Sho- -ho- ho- hone" or big Smoke"
About the year 1900, the Canadian

for the farm instructor of the Indians
on the Credit Reserve, appointed young
Hall to that position. Accordingly he
moved East with his squaw and re-
manned in the Government service until
the war of 1872, when he was engaged
as a scout-doing good service until
early in 1915, when he was captured by
the American soldiers and taken a pris-
oner to Fort Meggs. from which he
was released only when hostilities
ceased.
After the close of the war he made
his way to Toronto, squatting on the
lake front near the Humber River

"You see," said the steamship man,

aboard our steamships at this port for
use on the eastward bound voyages; but
it does not represent the supplies bought
here by our company and sent to the
other side to be put aboard the ships
there for use on the westward bound
voyages, and I have no means of fur
nishing figures that would correctly rep
resent such purchases. do know, how
ever that these figures are by no means
small Sometimes for example, we buy

1000 barrels of pork. We send hams
over there, and fruit Canned and pre-
served), and many other sorts of pro-
visions, and no account at all is taken
of them in the figures just given you.
Unquestionably. if we could get an ac-
curate statement of the whole it would

So, 900 900 instead of less than that sum.
Yes, it is true. perhaps, that some of the
supplies purchased here originally came
from Europe; but they amount to only
little, for most of the supplies we use
may be bought here cheaper than any
where else. ;
Now, of course, our company is only
one of several running steamships into
this port. Here are the names of the
chief lines: North German Lloyd. Amer
lean, Cunard, White Star, French. Ham
burg American, Rotterdam. Anchor
Thingvalla, Allen State, Red Star and
Atlantic Transport.
"It would be hard to say how many
ships these lines sail, but our line sails
altogether more than forty separate
ships, and there are from one hundred
and seventy to one hundred and ninety

year. Probably no other line does quite

everyone who has anything to sell IL
either directly or indirectly augmented
by the vast expenditures Of the steam
ship companies whose boats ply the
deep blue Atlantic"
With reference to this, apropos Of the
cry sometimes raised in the newspapers
against the expenditure Of money abroad
by American tourists. the steamship
man said:
eff you add to the money expended
by us for American products the money
brought into the country by emigrants,
and set this against the money expended
by American tourists abroad, an sure
you will find the balance to be in Amer
icas favor. know it is sometimes said
that American tourists annually spend
at least 500, 100000 in Europe, but this
Is by far too much. According to the
most careful computation the amount
cannot be more than $55, 900, 900, and this
sum is only $5,OOOO0O more than the
amount we have figured out as being
paid directly to Americans by the steam-
ship companies"

whence he escaped by night. Such are
the most important incidents of his ca
reer.
In the war of 1912 Daddy was pierced
by bayonet which left him lame on
one leg, yet despite this he has been
a most active man. and quite unlike
either Indian or negro, has always
led an Industrious life. He has

a great-great- grandmother.
When about ninety-five years of age
Daddy lost the last of his teeth, and at
that time he had become quite bald.
About ten years since nature supplied
the old man with new set Of teeth
and new head Of hair, both Of which
he has to-day and in which he takes
much pride.
Shakespeare divides life into seven
ages. the last of which is second
childhood. If second childhood is the
mark of the last stage Of hui
man life, then the subject of this
sketch, although one hundred and
fourteen years of age. has not left the
sixth rung of the ladder, and he may
yet rival Jacob, who is said to have
lived one hundred and forty-seven
years. There is little reason to doubt
that, after making the full span OF the
present century, he will live to see the
beginning of his third century.
