 In la66 the year after the completion of the line, the late Queen yas pleased to bestow upon him the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. He had not long enjoyed this distinction before his public gifts began to assume gigantic proportions. In 1897, being then High Commissioner for Canada, he was raised to the peerage. Of his modesty and dislike of demonstrations the follow ing characteristic story is told:
 When the hospital at Montreal was built members of the cOmmitte approach ed him with a view to having the inau- guration marked by public ceremony. No was the reply; T want no flourish of trumpets. Just open the doors and let the patients come in
 Equally romantic and remarka ble has been the success of Lord Mount Stephen. Born on June ,, 1899. in Dufftown, Banff- shire, he began life as a herdboy an later entered a drapers establishment in Aberdeen. After q period of service with firm in St. Pauls Churchyard he went out to Canada in 1850. There he was made partner with d relative, and soon he be- came concerned in railway enterprise. H. Was Vice President and President in due course of the Bank of Montreal. Presi- dent of the St. Paul and Manitoba Rail- va and head of the Canadian Pacific Company until 1ASS. In the construction of that line he was closely associated with Lord Strathcona. Created baronet in 1886. he was five years later raised to the peerage.

TRAIN BRUSHES LIFE OUT
 OF TROUP HODGES OF GEORGIA

Hodges to warm up the American people In favor of the Boers, when he returned to the United States. The tone of the letters show him to have been on the point of leaving South Africa at that time.
 After writing these letters, Hodges ap- parently left South Africa. His pass port dated at Pretoria Is signed by charles Macrum, United States Consul. and was made out for Troup B. Hodges and wife. The next passport was made out In some Dutch colony and then there Is one from Lorenzo Marques, and one from Paris.
 In Paris he seems to have remained some time. There are various letters, whose letter heads read Paris. and there is discharge from a French pri- son, where Hodges served a sentence of a little over thirty days.
 There are numerous recommendations from the heads of different departments in the Central of Georgia Railroad, which shows that at one time hodges was trusted and we'll thought of by his fellow men.
 A long sheet of paper. with a recent date affixed was found in the wallet. On this sheet of paper is written an original poem. Every line contains a mOfDlu thought. Hc POCihi 10 "Sh SNS- cuted but shows plainly that the writer was in a depressed state of mind.
 A verse of this poem was written on the plang headsoone marking the little grave near the railroad track at Mount Meigs where the body of Hodges lies. The lines are as follows:
 Place no memorial to mark the lone spot
 But leave 1t low with the lawni For why should you try the casket to
 save,
 When from it the jewel is gone? For the soul from its clod will have fled
 to its God.
 He gave 1t and resume it he must; Then leave the dull clay to moulden
 away
 And mingle its own kindred dust"
 Telegrams received last night from Savannah indicate that Hodges belonged to a good family and that he was de- mented His relatives, it is said, VIII have the body removed to Georgia.
