LITERARY NOTES

["Lords Of the North" by A c. Laut Published by J F. Taylor 6 Co.,, New York. Price, $l5O.I
 The op ming years of the nineteenth century saw the culminaton of tha bitter struggle between the two grea fur tradinS associations of Canada--th, 1 Northwest and the Hudson Bay com panies. It was stirring and pictur. esque period, and Mr. Laut has don, full justice to both of these character. istics in his new work.
 ! He has chozen as his hero one Rufu' | Gillespie, a young Scotch Canadian who enters the service of the Northwest company to facilitate his search for the young wife and son of his friend Eric Hamilton Hamilton has, by an act of swift justice, incurred the bitter en- mity of an lroquois called by the trad CTS "Lo Grand Diablc," and in revenge the latter has carried off into captivity Miriam and her son during Hamilton s absence in Quebec, and put her under the control of his wife, the daughter of
 
 of GlIespies journey. his numerous hairbreadth escapes from "Le Grand Diable" and his horrible squaw. and his ultimate success in restoring to Hamilton his wife and boy is told in a most breezy and interesting way. It is needless to add that Rufus during his self imposed task obtains for himself a very charming wife and is thus doubly comp nsated for all his trials and trib ulations.
 But to tis the chief charm in the book is the insight it gives the reader into the life led by the gentleman adveu- turcrs, the trappers and runners the Courier des Bois and Bo.s Brules of that time. The freedom and loneliness of existence in that huge and sparsely settled rountry-yes, even its dangers and privations-had a fascination of their own fascination with which the author himself SO unmistakabIy sym pathlzes that even we. who benefit bv the very civilization which these men did So much to spread. feel when we read of tE.ir exploits that we have. maybe. lost more than we have gained.
 There are many charming pieces of descriptlve writing through the book. and the account of the journey down the Ottawa river is sketched with so true a hand that, mingled with the swish or the waters, the murmuring of the night wind through the trees and the dip of the paddles. we hear the

The dispatches from London the past few days have been bringing a dull season story to the effect that the Russian czar is thinking of divorcing his beloved and lovely empress be- cause the storks persist in bringing girl babies to the palace in face of the fact that it has been made known in every Russian church that the grsat c2ar was praying for "boyski." No doubt young Nicholas is displeased with the storAs. But there is nothing in the London story. Nicholas is not a Napoleon, but Cn the contrary has given numerous proofs that he is pos- sess d of very human heart And after all he has a humping good job and can afford to put up with disap- pC,ntments which are not nee ysarily permanent. Many a disappointed poi tician of Arizona would gladly accept the Russian throne regardless of any little inconva aniences touching ths suc- CpgSiCn.

 proper patriotism that in the p,cturesque Catalina mountains, almost within a stones throw of the old pueblo. there are natural summer resorts sufficiently attractive to satisfy the most exacting, There can be no doubt that this Is trus. Not only the Catallnas but many other Oth5r noun tain ranges in Arizona offer attractions in the way of rare scenery, delightful forests, purling brooks and cool. pure and Efe-giving air-attractions similar to which, people in other parts Of the world travel across s5as and continents to enjoy. It has .ong been the wonder of the visitors from the states that the residents of the towns and ranches of q nore the splendid pleasure resorts which have been fashioned by nature in sight of their homes.

 Last ysar number of the citizens of Phoenix most of them veteran tray elers to the California beaches decided to try home attractions for awhile.

The ilou,ishinE summer camp of Iron Springs was establish and ..ure than idsnts throughout the seaccn. IL was found that the idea was an inspiration. Everybody there returned home an apostle Of mountain life. It was found by the business men of Phoenix that not only were their wives and children as happy and comfortable as at tn sea shore, but the sho.t distance from Phoenix made it possib!e for the heads of the families to enjoy from time to time the pleasures of an outing while giving due attention Co business. This year the Iron Springs colony was large ly increased, and predictions are al- ready made that next S asOn will double the number.
 Nevertheless. the Citizen should not take a g.OoIy view of the va7ation habit which has been form by so large proportion of Arlsoaa's popula- tiOn. The custom cf taking rest in midsummer from the yearly grind is it. self something new to Americans. 1t is altogether cOmmeniabla.

Do not, however, imagine that IL is

who owned only the 16o acres of land
the government had given them as

better livings for themselves and their
families and saving more money than
they had ever been able to do in the
States on the same amount of land.
Practically every one of these compare

purchase more land as rapidly as they
could accumulate the means with
which to buy. They fully realized that
they could not get too much of what
they knew was a good thing. There

ing productive land at So to SIS an
acre and at $50 to $40 an acre.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MOTHERS.

The mother of successful man said
to me, recently, writes Haryot Holt
Cahoon, in Success: 81 taught my chill
dren only two things, and those two
things We're to speak the truth and re-
spect their parents. In teaching the
latter, / made a point of meriting the
respect | demanded. / regard the ac-
ton back of the fifth commandment
as more important than the command
ment itself While meriting their re-
spect and their love, have reiterated
to them that / do not consider that
they owe me anything. / brought
them into this world without consult
ing them, and, therefore, the obliga-
ton is mine as long as l live. You will
say the teaching is heresy; but, know
ing how well grounded is the principle
back of it, / can afford to teach it; [

to do me homage. The responsibility
of mother is only fulfilled when she
has passed it on to her children, and
it is revealed in a reciprocal measure
that is referred to so illogically in the
fifth commandment. The mothers of
successful men have intuitive knowl-
edge of that science"

fe.tile to produce thirty and forty
bushels of wheat to the acre from less
than a bushel of seed; where the gov
eminent gives everyone desiring it a
free homestead of 160 acres of this
land, and where more may be bought
at from So to S. per acre; where one
years crop will much more than pay
for the land upon which it is grown, it
is a wicked waste of time to cultivate
the "fence corners"
Before had acquired this informa-
ton | was on one farm where a road
way cut off a small corner of land from
the remainder of a field of wheat.
There was, | should say, nearly an acre
in this little plat of neglected ground,
and l asked the owner of the farm why
it had not been put under cultivation.
ITO undertake to pillow that little
three-cornered strip of land would
take far more time than the land is
worth, giving both the present market
value. To add it to the remainder of
way around from the main road to the
house. Lying just across the road
there is 100 acres of as good land as
this upon which have this year grown
more than 30 bushels of wheat TO the
acre, and 1 can buy that land of the
railroad for $4 an acre. 1t would take
as much time to pillow that small piece,
in its present shape, as it would to
pillow two acres of the land across the
road, and so would be what we in this
country consider a waste of valuable
time"
Straight burrows and long ones is
the blowing rule in Western Canada,
and the gang pillow is the favorite meth
cd of turning the soil. The Western
Canada farmer, 1 found, cultiyates his
land upon wholesale methods. No
matter where he may come from, no
matter what the methods in vogue in
his native place may nave been, the
farmer in Canada soon learns that it is
wholesale methods that pay best there,
and for this reason it is Western Cana
da that is the home of every improved
agricultural machine that tends to
the speedy handling of great harvests
or the production of them. These ma
chimes are not always the product of
Western Canadian inventors, but the
Western Canadian farmers are among
the heaviest buyers of this class of ag-
ricultural machinery in the world.
The Canadian farmer never becomes
land poor as does the farmer in the
States. When he buys land he knows
that it viii bring him adequate returns
upon his investment, and that his gov
eminent will not put a burden of taxes
upon it. As a sample of what is posi-
bic with the progressive farmers in
Western Canada let me cite the case of
one living near White Plains, in Mani
toba, Mr.. Winslow by name. During
the past season this one man had 2,7oo
acres of land planted in wheat. and har-
vested $500 bushels. He makes farm
