AT one moment the danger was real and

The young man reminds of how strong

ington from taking this course. Canada
never was so near being wiped off the map,
and probably never will be again, unless a
time shall come when decay OF the imperial
power and loss of its protection shall lead
her to seek that of the United States
against the greed and ambition of Europe.
There is hint of something like this in
the remark of the Halifax paper that inde-
pendence would secure for Canada the pro-
lection of the Monroe doctrine. Canada
has IL now for that matter. This nation
would do far more to resist transfer OF any
British territory in North America to any
change of ownership of any territory in
South America, excepting possibly the
Isthmus of Panama. IL the Canadians are
wise they will let well enough alone.

The companion of the X. o. admitted that
such a thought had never percolated
through his brain cells.

The Skeptical Friend selected an unob-

Easy enough. He has skipped every

Several other men were pointed out, and

said:

Really the Canadians seem TO have been

LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCE.
The last time Senator Turpie appeared in
a public audience in Indianapolis or any
where, was in Tomlinson Hall during the
national meeting of Democratic Clubs in
1900 The afternoon that William Jennings
Bryan addressed the convention, Senator
Turpie was urged to come down to the
hall and occupy seat on the stage. The
sight of his tall, familiar figure on the
platform aroused the enthusiasm of the
audience and Senator Turpie perhaps never
received a more kindly greeting. Like the
old war horse. he scented the fray and he
felt the old-time eagerness to be in the
fight steal over him. But the stirring mu-
sic of the bands in the gallery, the cheers
and hurrahs of the crowd and the eloquent
utterances of orators. proved too much ex-
element for the old warrior and he re-
turned home something worse for the trip.
Since then he has not attempted to be one
of big audiences.
Senator Turpie's last public speech was
at the close of the campaign of 1898, when
he appeared at rally at Decatur, Adams
county. the Saturday night before the cleo
ton. since tnen he mas never attempted
speech making. He is now nearly seventy
seven years of age. His brain is active and
clear, and he gets much enjoyment out
Of his books as he ever did. The Senator
is great reader. and his library contains
the best that is to be had in the way of
literature. Last winter he read Blackstone
from beginning to end. notwithstanding he
had read it dozens of times before He is
fond OF the old classics. and reads them
over and over again. He is always pre-
pared with a quotation from some par
ticularly favorite writer. and is fond of
reading the Scripture. 81 think the Bible

In religious beliefs he is an Episcopalian,
and during his more active days he at
tended st. Pauls Church.
ALWAYS A WORKER
All his life Senator Turpie has been an
industrious worker, and now in the closing
days of his busy career he is not content

conversation into political channels the
senator's affability becomes an icy reserve
He does not want to be quoted, and in fact
maintains that the political interview, no
matter how skillfully handled, is not worth
fig to anybody.
HAS LARGE ACQUAINTANCE.
Senator Turpie has an immense acquaint-
ance in Indiana. He recalled recently that
he campaigned for fifty years in this state
and with the exception of the late Daniel
w. Voorhees, perhaps knew more people in
Indiana than any other man. Nor has he
forgotten them yet. and they have not for
gotten him. Few days go by that the SEN
ator does not receive a call from an old In
diana friend and his callers are not confined
TO Indiana people by any means. The
senator is always glad to see his friends.
His memory is excellent and he is often de-
lightfully reminiscent The senator's boy
hood days were spent in Carroll and White
counties and like the poet Riley he has ap-
preciated the delights Of a rambe along ro-
mantle Deer creek. In his boyhood Sena-
tor Turpie loved to be close to the heart of
nature and the old longing is with him yet
Notwithstanding his nervous condition
Senator Turpie still attends to the most of
his correspondence. He has a character
istic way of familiarizing himself with the
letters he receives. letter that specially
interests him he will have read to him by a
friend or a member Of his family after he
has carefully perused 1T. He has made this
a custom for years. Have you ever tried
it?" said he. You receive a letter that is
of particular Importance to you and after
you have read it have some one to read 1t
to you. You have no idea how differently
the meaning appears sometimes and how
closely in touch with the thoughts of the
writer you can become"
In personal appearance Senator Turpie
has not changed greatly in the past few
years, except that he is more stopped and
his hair and beard are whittier. But he still
has the keen, blue-grey eye that his adj
vanced years have not dimmed. Neither
has his tongue lost the sharp satire that
once made him both feared and admired in
the halls of Congress.

TO be idle. Last summer he kept garden,
and this winter he is telling with pardon
able pride how he tended his little corn
field in the rear of his home and watched
the roasting ears grow to maturity. When
he was not in his garden last summer the
senator was out on the lawn under the
trees, and in the evening he sought his
library. Notwithstanding he has left the
busy world. Senator Turpie has not lost
interest In it and he keeps himself well
informed as to what is going on. While he
is no longer able to take part in the coun-
ellis of the chieftains Of his party. he keeps
an eye on what they doing, and he has
not lost his interest in politics. few
nights ago, while the returns were coming
in from the elections in New York and
Ohio and other States, Senator Turpie occu-
pied big rocking-chair in the home OF his
friend, S. p Sheerin, and waited for the
election returns.

marked to a friend day or two later. 'T

been anything but satisfactory. The other
