sceuragement in soliciting funds. Not
a person or firm called upon declined
to make donation, but the solicitors
were hampered somewhat by the i'm
preston that prevailed among the
business men of the city that the re-
quirements Of the work were not such
as to justify the outlay Of such large
amount as 100000, and for this rea-
son the board deemed it wise to take
longer time in which to raise tina
amount asked for than to be content
with an inadequate provision for the
work
An investigation of the conditions in
other cities by the local board dis
closed the fact that in almost every
city in the country where buildings
were erected ten or fifteen years ago
an effort was now being made to have
the quarters enlarged.
For the proposed st. Paul building

erect one which Will be adequate for

present, and for this reason 1t was
thought the association could afford to
delay the structure a year or two and
then have a building which will not
have to be enlarged within a few years.

dispatches from Halifax gave a list of
the armed steamers that could be con-
centrated in case of hostilities and
some advisers begged the government
to send cruisers to protect the fisher
men in their rights against the French
king of the island.
At last, when the situation became
really serious, Menier issued a state
ment, saying he had no thought Of
doing anything contrary to law or to
the rights Of fishermen. He would see
that they were allowed to fish and dry
their nets and he assured the govern
ment that he was seeking to build up
the country and its industries for the
benefit of the dominion al large.
: Later Mr.. William Mcguire, of Que
bee, during a visit at Nice, in 1901,
said it was now believed that M Me-
nier's enterprise was no political
scheme; that every Canadian having
the development of the country at
heart wished that even more men like
him would follow his example. He
was sure that other Frenchmen imf-

cast that it was all a part of political
scheme for Frenchmen to get a foot
hold on Canadian soil and make trouble
that might lead to war and conquest
For time the people were somewhat
treasured by subsequent announcement
that M Menier had bought the island
for hunting and fishing alone, and in
tended making it royal game preserve
for himself and friends, who would
come in yachts. They would also make
1t their headquarters when on cruises
to Polar seas, where M. Menier had
made an enviable record in killing po-
lar bears. So the chocolate king and
vice president Of the Royal Yacht Club
OF Fance brought over colonists and
ships and much machinery and began
to establish a colony, with rules and
regulations, under a governor from
France representing the proprietor in
chief.

With attempts by foreign powers to
acquire all territory where men may

been backward in expanding on her
own acount-there seem to be distant
domains where it is yet possible for a
man to have adventures in the good
old fashioned style and to make him.

man has always preceded the ambi-
tious government. Today equally bold
and equally sagacious with the dis
coverers of centuries agone is the indi-
vidual who fights his way to the center
of a field which is new and all his
own.
The map has been changed many
times during the last twenty five
years, and it viii change again. few
weeks ago the gay world of Paris was
startled by the news that Jacques La
baudy, one of the most Venturesome
spirits in all France, had fought his
way with an armed force to an unoc-
cupied territory south of Morocco and
made himself emperor. Two govern
ments, England and Spain, were made
uneasy, but France laughed-it was
Lebaudy.
But has the gay boulevardier taken
a serious course or is 1t one of his
wild adventures to seek relaxation
from the social life Of Paris?
Lebaudy son of the great sugar re-
finer, is one Of the wealthiest young
men in his country He raced his swift
automobiles at a maddening pace. He
built an airship and personally sailed
it from Nantes to Moisson, thirty-two
miles, in one hour and thirty-six min

ployed in some unique channel.
Some time in June Lebaudy left

cause.
"The board has no fear but that it
will meet with a very general response
on the part Of the business interests of
the CITY," said one of the directors in
discussing the matter. "The fact Is as
sured by the present hearty support
given by business men to the current

contended by the association that a
building, such as has been proposed,
would be a paying investment, as it
could be erected in such a manner that
the income received from it would
amount to a considerable sum.
The experience of the association in
st. Paul, 1t is said, has demonstrated
the impossibility Of permanently sus-
tanning the necessary expenses of the
work while carried on in rented quar-
ters, for the reason that the work, to
be practical and effective, requires
many departments and privileges
which aggregate large expense for
maintenance. and for the farther rea-
son that these departments must oe-
