PLUCK WON VICTORY.
What an Illinois Boy Wrought for
 the People of Canada.
Completed the Canadian Pacific Rail- way After It's Original PrOmOt. CTS Had Given Up Hope
 Knixhted by Queen.

Sir William Van Horne, the head of the Canadian Pacific railway, has just left Chicago with the statement that after a thorough inspection of Cuba he believes the Cubans are amply able to govern themselves. Sir Will liam is an excellent example of how an individual can govern himself and a good many other people besides. lie was born in Illinois 50 years ago, and began life as telegraph operator on the Illinois Central railroad. He IS now several times millionaire. and one of the most powerful men Ill lan- ada.
 Nearly 25 years ago, says the Chi cago Times-Herald. MT. Van Horne was called to the general managershlp Of the Canadian Pacific road. The line was then not yet completed to Van couver. There was a great gap De- tween Winnipeg and the Pacific ocean, and a great many Canadians were in existence who did not believe rail could ever be laid over that gap. Va rious governments had tried to com plete the road and failed. Various contractors had gone to ruin ill at tempting to carry out government de mands. In 1880 it looked as if a good ten years would elapse before Canada would have railway from Montreal to the Pacific. Then came ill the Van Horne spirit. Capitalists, politicians, settlers. merchants were clamoring for the completion of the road.
 Mr. Van Horne visited Montreal. He called on the government and he po- litely asked how much money or land or other securities were to the credit of the company at that time upon which cash could be raised. An un- der secretary or under something else said hippantly:
 The government has no cash fo1 you, Mr. Van Horne, but you have con- trol of 25 900 OOO acres of land and about 500 miles of completed road on which you ought to get something.'
 The general manager turned on his heel and left the government house.

the pulling out of the drawer of & desk can be accomplished. When it is desired to use the cradle the end board is grasped in the hand and pulled out ward until pins at the inner ends of the grooves strike the ends of the sides, thus preventing the cradle from becoming detached. The baby is then placed imposition, and the nurse seats herself in the chair, in a con- venient position to care for the child and at the same time devote her at- tention to reading or sewing. The in- ventor has also made provision for twins by designing a double cradle, which pulls out on either side of the chair, one telescoping into the other when closed up. The arrangement is simple and does not materially in crease the weight of chair, besides taking up much less space than the two articles would if separated.-- Louisville Courier-Journal.

He was facing the problem of build ing 2,2OO miles of road through noun tainous or desert plain country, and he not only was without money, but the road lacked the confidence of capitalists. The story goes that in the next ten days he either person ally saw or communicated with by wire or letter 50 of the wealthies capitalists of England, the United States and Canada. He pledged them to build in five years (his contract with the government for the compile tion of the road allowed him ten) the uncompleted portion of the road. and also repay them in the same time any advances they might make if they would finance the construc- tion work. Practically his guaran- tee in tine matter was no more than his own private word, but the Van Horne word was pretty we'll known even at that time.
 As a result of his solicitations. per emptory showing of his necessities, he commanded at the end of the ten days $1O,OOo,o0o in cash, ostensibly that of the company, although loaned, A1N~>~ begun. In 54 months. or AZ years, MT. Van Horne and his associates had built 1900 miles of the main line and 1900 miles of side tracks, or two miles per day winter and sum- mer. He took his rails over the Sel- kirk range, through canyons and gorges, conquered every obstacle of nature, and kept his promise to his packers. Every dollar they advanced or security they gave was either re- paid or we'll protected, and the Cana dian Pacific opened to the world. The total amount which Mir. Van Horne is said to have become responsible for during the completion of the road was over $25,O0o, ,Ooo-s1O, 100000 at first and then $15, ,O0O ,o0o more after ward, and of this sum not one dol lar was ever lost to the men who trusted him when he declared that he intended to finish the Canadian Pacific.
 The main line of his road cost $10o,- 0GO,O0O to build in all, but it gave to Great Britain a war route which is said to be capable of handling 5000 armed men in day, with their bag gage, from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, and of putting a 100-ton gun in Vancouver within IA days after it leaves Woolwich That is what the Illinois boy accomplished in Canada, his adopted land, and that is the i'm side story of how the Canadian Pa cific was finished in five years ahead of contract time.

Victoria and Dickens.

Literary celebrities, as a rule. were
not those who attained to any high
degree of personal favor at the hands
of Queen Victoria, but she paid Charles
Dickens n delicate compliment. Dick
ems, who, by the way, in his youthful
days was devoured by a grand passion
for the youthful queen, was invited
when at the climax of his fame to
dine at Windsor castle. He was after
dinner presented by the queen with a
copy of her book "Tour In the High
lands" and on the fly leaf was in
scribed in her own hand this sentence:
From the humblest to the most dis
tinguished author in England.S The
queen afterward showed many favors
TO Lord Tennyson, but even in making
him a peer of the realm she did not
bestow as great compliment.

A MAYORS MIRACLE.
He Made the Blind See, the Deaf
Hear and the Lame Walk.

From the many anecdotes of Bamp-
fylde Moore Carew's rogueries in Ar
thur Montefiore Brice's essay on that
Amazing Fagabond' we quote one in
which Carew and his gypsy crew who
had rigged themselves up as cripples
and gathered at Bridgewater fair to
plumber the junketers came off second
best.
When the mayor of Bridgewater
heard that this motley group of Grip
pies had arrived, he announced to some
of his friends that he was possessed of
n power they perhaps little suspected
that, in fact. he could make the blind
see, the deaf hear and the lame walk.
Bets were freely made that he could do
nothing of the kind. and thereupon the
mayor had the gyrsies arrested and
immediately brought before him and,
after hearing their narrowing tales. or
dered them to be confined for the night
in the lookup.
About 10 o'clock at night, however
the municipal surgeon entered with a
lantern and announced that he would
examine them all in the morning in or
der to report to the mayor whether or
not they really suffered from deformity
of one kind or another, and he went on
to say that those who were found to be
impOstorS would be treated by the
mayor with severity so extreme that,
moved to pity, he would allow any such
misguided wretch to escape there and
then from the lookup on condition that
he Immediately left the town.
At this intelligence a great commo-
ton arose, and in less time than it
takes to write it the whole crowd surg
ed out of the lookup, fiinging away
their crutches and wooden legs. patch
es and bandages, and made off down
the town at topmost speed, the blind
leading the way with unerring steps,
the dumb crying aloud their fears, the
deaf replying to them, and the lame
sprinting along at a rattling pace.
Now, just opposite the lookup, on the
farther side of the street, stood the wit
ty mayor and his friends, convulsed
with laughter at the success of his
acknowledgements.

RIVAL FOR ST. JOSEPH

Benton Harbor. Mich. March 26.-
There may be a new and unexpected
phase of the marriage mill matter
which has been prevailing at st. Jo-

the ministers who are now endeavor-

successful. st. Joseph may suffer di-

the prospects of South Haven's becOm-
ing county seat with a full compile
ment of court officers to grind out mar

much of summer resort as st. Jo-

handy for wedding purposes as the lat

Trafalgar Hats.

The year 1905 was memorable one.
as on Oct. 81 was fought and gained
the battle of Trafalgar, and then, as
now, fashion complimented heroes by
devising toilets named in their honor.
So Nelson was commemorated by a
hat-the "Trafalgar''-and every wo-
man and child adopted the wondrous
structure, which would outdO even
the headgear of the present day, for
these hats were of enormous width
and breadth, something of the size OF a
round table, and so loaded with plumes
that the wearers must have looked all

CATCHING CICAOAS.
How Certain MaIays Obtain n Curl
GUS DeIkcacy.

GUS DeIkcacy.
Certain natives of the Malay peninsu-
la catch cicadas and eat them and that
as a considerable luxury. To eat a ci-
cada seems distinctly curious, says the
London Daily Mail. when we reflect
that this insect is in reality n glorified
member of that insect group which
contains as its most prominent repre-
sentative the diminutive and swarthy
creature which shall be nameless here
for evermore.
The way in which the Siamese pro-
ceeds was related to the Geological so
ciety the other day by Il naturalist who
has spent some time in the Malay pen
insula observing men as we'll as in
sects. At night, when these insects fly,
the native sallies forth armed with a
torch and but little raiment. The torch
is deposited in Il convenient place. and
the swarm of natives proceed to clap
their hands in perfectly regular fash
ion so as to produce a considerable
sound.
1t is the combination of light and
sound that allures the cicada from its
haunts to its destruction. The insects
come also in swarms and settle upon
the bodies of the applauding natives.
whence they are easily detached, pre-
served. cooked and eaten.
The Greek sage remarked that happy
are the cicadas in that they have voice
less wives. 1t is apparently the lady
cicadas who are attracted by what
they fondly believe TO be the love cry
of the male and are thus lured to their
fate by that most dangerous of pas
