John Urben, the present owner OF

When finished, this will be the larg-

"a feet by ITO feet, with cheese
cellar under the whole, the super
structure being for the supply and
stock rooms, and living rooms for

instructed it's officers in the northwest
to locate a new post at some point
that would lie within British territory
when the boundary dispute was finally
settled. 1t was in compliance with
these instructions that Factor Douglas
selected the southern part of Van
couver island in 1912, though it was not
until four years later that the settle
ment of the Oregon boundary left AS
toria in undisputed possession of the
United States.
The new post on Victoria island was
at first called Fort Camosun, and con-
sisted of the usual log structure, sur
rounded by high palisades, with bas-
lions at each corner. With this rudely
constructed stockade began the com
mercial life OF Victoria. So long as
Victoria depended upon the fur trade
for its sustenance and growth the rude
stockade served it's purpose, but with
the discovery of gold in British Column
bia in the summer of 1858 came thou
sands of prospectors, who made of the
post their headquarters, and relied
upon it as their base of supplies. This
brought new commercial life to the
then small hamlet, and the growth that
began with the rush for gold has con-
tinued until to-day Victoria is city
of more than $4,000 people.

THE HOUSE OF CHURCHILL.
There Is No Danger of the Dukedom
Ever Passing Out of the
Family.

This year marks great anniversary
in the house of Churchill, for it was in
1902 that the dukedom was stablished.
When Anne succeeded to the throne
in that year she appointed the earl
of Marlborough, who had previously
fallen under the displeasure of King
William, and had been confined for
short time in the tower, captain gen
eral of all her forces in England, and
of those employed in conjunction with
her allies; and then began that mill
tary career which is one of the most
brilliant in English history. His first
great campaign was in 1902, when he
accomplished the reduction of Venloo,
Stevenswaert, Buremond, and Liege,
and in reward was created at the end
of the year marquis of Blandford and
duke of Marlborough. The victory of
Blenheim, which immorta1ized his
name and gave the title to the palace
at Woodstock, with which a grateful
nation presented him, was achieved
two years later, says the London
Chronicle.
The present duke, though he is called
the ninth, is really the eighth
There was, in fact, no second. The
great duke lost his only son in the
smallpox epidemic which ragged 200
years ago, and by a special act of parlia-
ment was succeeded by his daughter
Henrietta. She likewise had no direct
heir to succeed her, and so the honors
and estates devolved upon her nephew
the fifth earl of Sunderland, whose
father married John Churchill's second
daughter. He was styled third duke.
The title has passed in the direct line,
and always through the eldest SON
ever since, which is somewhat of a
rarity in noble families; and as most
of themha left considerable families,
there is no danger of the dukedom be-
ing extinguished.

RACE OF NILE GIANTS.
Men of Which Are Seven and
Half Feet Tall.

Notes in the diary of Lieut.. Schloifer,
who lately returned to Europe, con-
tain interesting details of the discov-
cry of the actual source of the Nile,
by DR.. kandt, last summer. Schloifer,
who had successfully led an army of
$500 bearers carrying a dissected
steamer to Lake Tanganyika, where it
was put together and tloated, fell in, on
his return journey, with Kandt, who
was hunting for the source of the Nile,
says the New York Herald.
The discovery was finally made by
party of six, comprising three natives,
kandt, Schloifer and the wife of the
latter, who had accompanied her hus-
band in all his journeyings. There is
nothing very striking about the source
OF the Mica little pool in a marshy
basin-but the natives of Ruanda, the
Watussi, are described by Schloifer as
very interesting and remarkable
tribe.
They are giants of seven feet six
inches, with small hands and feet,
proud and self-contdent manner,
long, straight hair brushed stiffiy up
ward, and European or Hamitic fea-
lures, with no negro characteristics.
They were armed with immense spears
and smoked black clay pipes incessant-

was presented as their king, and Frau
Schloifer, thanks to DR.. Kandt's popu-
larity in that region, was received by
the kings two wiyeS.-an honor never
before accorded to European.
The visitor was conducted through
nine great courts, inclosed with ar
tistically woven straw wattles, to the
royal huts, where she found the
queens sitting like craven images on
mats, with their backs against the
wall and their legs stuck straight out
in front of them. They had pretty and
intelligent faces, small hands and feet,
and tall, slender figures. They sat mo-
tionless, with downcast eyes, for a
time, then lookedup at the visitor with
evident wonder.

satlon, and the only question they
asked was whether the German lady
always wore all those clothes, or some
times appeared as they did. Their cos

cans.

HOW A BULLY WAS SU8DUED.
Railway Conductor Who knew How
to Handle "Bnd'' Men Who Rode
on His Train.

The following story of how bully
was cowed on a railroad train by
Merry conductor is told by ID. Ell
bridge Monroe, of the Baltimore bar,
says the Sun of that city:
Il was coming eastward over the
Santa Fe railroad one night in the
fall of 1877. The train stopped at
Dodge City, which was then the most
important point for the shipment of
cattle in southwest Kansas. Some of
the worst characters on the frontier
made their headquarters there.
Quite number of passengers of the
true frontier type boarded the train.
Among them was a fellow who par
ticularly attracted my attention, be-
cause of his burly form and coarse,
and l could not but think cowardly,
features. He was dressed in typical
cowboy style. He wore a suit of
deerskin, profusely adorned with
Bully was written in his unattrac-
tive face and was shown in his every
movement. The conductor of the
train, very courteous and efficient
man, rather small of stature, named
Bender, some time after leaving
Dodge, came through the car col
Letting fares. Bender had some
nasal trouble, which made it appear
when he spoke that he was talking
through his nose. He drawled out
his words very slowly and altogeth-
er his utterances were rather droll.
He approached the Dodge City bully
and asked for his ticket.
Got no ticket, he surlily replied.
Where are you going? drawled
Bender
Coin where I please, and it's
none of your business where I'm
goin',' replied the bully.
you've got to pay your fare or
get off this train; and 1 want to
know how far on this line you're go
ing again demanded Bender.
Il tell you I'm not tellin' you or
anyone else where I'm goin',' replied
the bully, at the same time placing
his right hand on one of the two
pistols of large caliber conspicuous
ly displayed in the holsters attached
to his belt.
THE bully during the colloquy had
emphasized his words with the coars-
est profanity. The other passengers
in the car became a little excited
and were evidently curious to see
what the end would be.
sWhen the bully thus threateninr-
ly gave his ultimatum Bender eyed
him coolly for moment in silence,
then passed on, collecting his fares.
In perhaps half hour Bender came
into the car from the direction of
the express car with double-bar-
relied shotgun, cooked, and before
the bully had time to offer any show
of defense Bender had him covered,
the muzzle of the gun being within
two feet of the bully's face.
Now, where are you going?' asked
Bender, coolly drawing out the ques-
ton through his nose.
I'm goin' to get off, replied the
thoroughly cowed bully.
"a brakeman pulled the bell cord
and the train came to halt, Bender
keeping his man covered with the
cooked gun, followed him until he
saw him jump from the steps of the
car into the darkness at least 20
miles from the nearest station. Then
the train moved on and the passen-
gers resumed their normal quiet
