somehow or other he learned that on a
certain night run some Of the trainmen
were IL the habit Of taking cushions from
the coaches to make themselves comfor>
table In the baggage car. Late one
night at about the time he thought the
men would have taken the cushions, he
wired the head trainman OF the crew a
message, which was delivered by the
agent at small way station It con-
tanned only these four words: Put back
those cushions but 1t filed the hearts
or the men with CONSERVATION, not to
say awe, for how, unless ne was blessed
with the gift Of second sight, could the
dispatcher know they had meddled with
the cushions? 1t is hardly necessary to
say that they never molested them again.
Sir Williams job as executive head Of
the canadian Pacific has never been a
slnecure; when he began service with the
road his task was almost superhuman.
1nasmuch as 1t combined the financing Of
the company and the overcoming of the
physical problems incident to the opera
ton of a line through mountainous re-
glon, where snow and ice were common
much OF the year. Like every other
successful pioneer railroad president he
determined to study these problems at
short range and work out their solution
himself He went here, there and ev-
erywhere, seeing things with his own
eyes, and dealing with the situation on
the spot. Naturally, in the circurn-
stances, he has had his share of hardship
and adventure

1t might also be truthrully said that he
could win his way to the front as an ar

lines and many others. His knowledge Of

veying party in the Canadian Northwest.
They were to meet another party, which
was to bring stores and supplies, ait
given point But there was some mis-
calculation and the other party failed to
appear. Van Horne and his men were far
removed from any center of civilization,
and they waited for day or two, hoping
for relief; but none came. At last it
seemed that the only way out of the
trouble was to push on to the nearest set,
Element, several days travel away. Fa-
tigued as they were and with scant sup
plies, that was no easy task.
Still, as they had guns and plenty Of
ammunition and WI ere in territory abound
ing with game, they concluded to try it.
Crossing a stream. however, their pack
mule stumbled and fell; their little food
supply was swept away by the swift
current, and their ammunition was soaked
in the waters of the stream. Their
matches. too, were wet, SO that they
could not light a fire, even if they had
food to cook. It was with rueful coun-
tenances that they scrambled out Of the
stream and took account of stock.
All that was left in the way of proYis-
ions was some loose flour, which had
spilled in the bottom of a saddlebag. 1t
was not very clean, either, and nothing
but the most dire necessity would force
them to eat 1t. But necessity waits not
on squeanlishness, and they made a, kind
Of dough and baked It,, and, seating
themselves on logs, began to stomach
the unsavory compound. 1t is safe to say
that Sir William never partook Of a
worse meal than that unleavened dough,
and to add to the trials of the situation,
he remembered as he ate that his life
insurance premiums were due that day,
while he was entirely cut off from COM
mUnication with the insurance companies.
Soon after the meal had been finished,
however, the members of the forlorn
group heard shots, and OWNED that q
relief party was In search of them. They
could not fire in return, OF course, but

Is a tremendous worker or he would
never have found time to perfect himself
IN the accomplishments which give him
so Well-founded a reputation for versa
tlity, and his capacity to accomplish
things Is almost doubled by the fact that
ne requires not more than four or five
hours of sleep in each twenty-four.
But he is quite as fond of play as he is
OF work. In the privacy Of his home he
is as lght-hearted and sportive as a
school boy In his own house he once
startled a guest by shutting rapidly
across the carpet, after which he hastily
slapped piece of blotting paper against
the wall to see If enough electricity had
been generated to hold it there. He is
fond Of games of all sorts, and plays
everything well. His sense of humor is
well developed, and he sometimes perpe-
trates practical jokes, though never Of
the coarser sort.
Years ago he was prone to a particular
form of practical joke, which he used to
play on the Montreal reporters who call
ed upon him in search Of railroad news.
On one of his trips in the Hudson bay dis
trict he had picked up a lot of cigars,
made Of native tobacco which were al
most to rank to think about. Whenever
a newspaper man called to ask about
something which Van Horne did not wish
to discuss, he would hand out one Of
these cigars. Nine times in ten the third
puff at the vile weed would drive the
newsgatherer out of the office and Van
Horne would get out of being interview
ed without having to refuse to talk. That
pretty little scheme worked only a lit
tie while, however. The reporters COM
pared notes, and being satisfied that
Van Horne had been sguying them, each
promised never to vetittire into the pres
ence again without freshly lighted cigar
in his mouth.
One of the practical Jokes which he
played years ago when a train dispatch

A Few hours later they were comfortably
ensconced in private car.
Like many another man Of affairs who
possesses deft pencil. Sir William often
sketches at his desk while talking bust
ness; sketching. indeed, seems to be one
of his faVorite methods of concentra ting
thought The clerks in the Canadian Pa

OF paper which he has ornamented for
souI enirs.
His phenc menal memory Is one OF the
most remarkable things about this re-
markable man. He seems absolutely to
forget nothing, and his power of retain
Ing facts and information has, Of course
been or enormous benefit TO him ali
through life. But his memory is not
wholly a gift; it is largely acquired. His
father died, leaving scant means when
the lad was about thirteen; and he be-
gan the battle OF life for himself By get
ting job in the railroad yards. II he
was late In returning from his work his
good mother, to use her own graphic ex-
preston, would '1atten her nose against
the window looking for him. thinking
he might be skylRrking with boys of his
own age. But he rarely did anything Of
the sort.
After hours he used to nnger about the
station and yards finding out all he could
about railr0ading. He trained his mem
DRY by fixing in his mind the Inscriptions
on the cars, SO that he could tell their
numbers, the roads they belonged to and
their destination without reference TO
any record. He had already formed the
ambition TO reach the top in his chosen
vocation.
Sir Williams memory occasionally
plays queer tricks with his friends and
acquaintance.
