He Has Conquered Canada by His
Eic Family


Ainslees MagaZine: THE French
Canadian forms a most interesting
study for the sociologist, himself and
his manners, customs and ideals. His
country was fairly conquered in 1859,
and ever since he has made the best
of it. He might now have many
grievance against the government, but
he has learned a trick worth two of
that. If Canada could be left to her
self with her present population and
with no influx of settlers, in fifty years
the French Canadian would have re-
conquered Canada. Not by the mus
ket, but by his big family and by his
quiet persistence in acquiring and
clearing land.
His natural gift for politics has led
him to improve the original position
that gave him almost the balance of
power, until now he holds the fate Of
political parties in his hands. AT one
time the counties in Quebec south of
the st. Lawrence between the river and
the United States boundary We're filled
With English farmers: it was the eX-
ception to pass a farm owned by q
habitant. Now the position is in pro-
cess of reversal A thrifty habitant
can obtain all the money he wants on
terest, often per cent, and wherever
an English farm is for sale he buys 1t.
This habit has come to be a policy;
it has carried the French Canadian be-
You'd the bounds Of his own province
into the bordering counties of Ontario
and New Brunswick, and wherever he
comes the will of the English voters
is strangled by the French, who stand
solid as rock when their own inter-
ests are thereby defended or conserved.
Throughout the province of Quebec for
every union Jack that floats there are
ten tricolors This French flag repre-
sents a simple, idyllic joy in descent.
English Canadians are told; 1t has no
political significance, they are assured.
And though the ultraloyalist may
growl at the display Of a foreign flag,
the flag flies. There is no reason why
it should not fly as long as French
Canada is sufficiently loyal; and at
present 1t Il just loyal enough"

A LITERARY DECEPTION.
Hughes Le aoux Says He Wrote .

Story Under Daudet's Name.
Chicago Tribune: Hughes LIE Roux,
the French lecturer, declared to an
audience of students at the University
of Chicago that he was the author OF
one of the best known short stories
printed over the name of Alphonse
Daudet.
Daudet, he said, had contracted to
write the story, but was too busy. LIE
Roux, who was struggling secretary
at the time, took the work from Dau-
diets hands and sent LA Belle Niver-

said NJ. LeRouN. "Daudet was anxious
to send a story to an American maya

a Chestnut street restaurant they be-
lieved they owned the establishment and
everybody connected with it. There were
three of them, just past the maturity
age of manhood and as they tilted their
hats on one side they imagined them
selves bound to draw to their feet any
woman upon whom they cast their eyes. !.
One day they took their seats as usual
and were agrecably surprised to see
rev waitress whose looks entitled her to
more than passing glance. After look
ing at each other for a minute they de-
termined to add her to their list of con-
quests. The waitress, however, was not
apparently impressed With the three, and
completely ignored them. Just then an
other waitress addressed the new girl as

marked: SO you're the pearl of great

War Against Hail.

The State Department has received
from Consul |. c. Covert, at Lyons,
the official report of the international
congress for the protection of that ely

In 1891 efforts we're made to produce
rain by the use OF cannon, and a pro-
lessor OF the University OF Bologna in
augurated a similar process for pro-
lection against hail. The Consul states
that in 1896 Albert Stieger, Burger
meister OF Windisch Feistrits, is said
to have turned a hailstorm into a fall

number of mortars.
/. About 10000 cloud-hring stations
we're represented at the congress at
Padua in 1900. At this congress it was
unanimously voted to continue the war
against hail, on condition that it should
be done Systematically.
In the report of the internation2

sent this heresy always meant ruin. The
boxing and incantations they practice
amount, after all, to not much more than
kind of jugglery--the swallowing Of

PORTO RICIANS ARE ALIENS.
So Judge Lacoub, of th. U. S. Court Decides
In the Gonzales Case.

New York (Specia).---A decision
was handed down in the United States
Circuit Court by Judge Lacombe in
which he holds that citizen OF Porto
Rico is not citizen of the United
States and as such not entitled to land
here without interference from the I'M
migration authorities, but is, the insular
decisions notwithstanding, an alien
within the meaning of the law.
The matter came before Judge La
,ombe on the application for a writ OF
habeas corpus sworn out on behalf of
Isabella Gonzales, native Porto Rican
woman, who arrived in New York
August "a last. She was detained by
The immigration authorities on the
ground that, being an unmarried wom-
an, her condition was such that she
was an undesirable alien. She was or
dered deported, but well-to-do aunt
and uncle, living on Staten Island Sc
cured attorneys to get her released
through habeas corpus.
The only question for discussion"
reads the opinion, "is whether petit
toner is an alien The Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States provides that all persons
born or naturaized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof
are citizens OF the United States.
There is no suggestion that she was
ever naturaized under the general laws
regulating the admission OF alien cit
liens.
The treaty of Paris, unlike earlier
treaties which dealt with Louisiana,
Florida, California and Alaska, did not
undertake to make native-born citizens
OF Porto Rico citizens of the United
States. 1t is expressly provided that
the civil rights and political status of
the native inhabitants of the territories

determined bv Congress"
