We know that trade does not follow any
flag in an fmperialistic colonial policy. En-

England TO India, Canada and other colonial

to follow the French flag to its rapidly in

American trade has not followed the
American flag to the Philippines, because the

riders. The return of riderless horses
to camp is an almost certain sign of
defeat. When cavalry charge is sue
cessful the horses will, as have said,
all keep together, even though they
have lost their riders. But when a
force is routed the first news Of i'll
omen to those in the rear will be the
return of the horses with empty sad
dies and stirrups dangling free. To IL
lustrate the callous feeling these ami
mails have under fire, case which hap
pened at Ladysmith during the siege
may be cited. A farrier sergeant was
engaged in shoeing an offieer's'horse in
the open ground behind the stables of a
hotel, and had already put one or two
nails in the shoe when a she'll came
screaming through the air. The next
moment the missile burst five or six
yards away from where the sergeant
and the horse were standing and the
splinters flew around both, but failed to
touch either. When the smoke had
cleared the horse was to be seen with
its foot still in the mans apron, quite
undisturbed by the incident.-Pearson's

Delegates Disagree as to the Cost OF

The farmers national congress in sesz

down, rs follows:

The subject which seemed to most en-

the merchant marine. The resolutions
committee had several memorials on this
matter, which were referred to SUBJ

at one Of the sessions was the wide diff

average cost was between 20 and %
cents, while Il. Filley of the same State
claimed that he was producing an acre

original II Not Accurate.

This is genuine extract from a
schoolboy's recent Essay on Nelson:
"Oh, Harding. kiss me again." were
the buteful words of heroik mortal
who won a CRATE battle with one eye
and a wooden leg. Before the bloody
context this motto was uttered by him,
Tho queen expects every man TO do
his duty" Nelson was brave man
but his MORALS was not respectable.
Once = lady whose name was Mrs.
Hambington, nursed him, and he said,
ION. heayins heayins why do | love"
When he died the queen met him in
boat and he went TO ST. Paurs and was
buried. This is a marvellous lesson
10 me and all schoolboys- Do your
duty to your parsters and masters and
then even with single leg ycu can
say, with this simple thing / win do
my duty" As Nelson himself said
Even though you are only man you
can do your duty. Scottish Leader.

They Become as ObIivious to Danger
as a Man.
1t has often been remarked that by
constant association the horse readily
imbibes many of the characteristics of
his master. Nowhere has this been
more manifested than in the armies of
the world. In times of war the horses
seem to take as deep an interest in bat
ties as do their riders.
One of the most curious sights to be
seen in a cavalry charge is the various
riderless horses galloping in the line in
perfect order. At the charge of Balac-
lava the front rank of one regiment
was composed to great extent of rider
less animals, their masters having
dropped one by one. 1t would seem
that in the excitement of the moment
the horses lose all conception of what
is happening around them and prob
ably fail to notice the fall of their

hot weather had not brought expected
hail, and the farmers were anticipating
the harvesting of one of the heaviest

came from the northwest and was quite

less, and one grower has twenty acres

lesser amounts. Only about 20 per cent
of the acreage had been shielded prior to

They filed their Ii. ouths with cotton soak
