From his article it that David Rankin Of Tar

Toronto World which is endeavoring to cool off goes at
1t in this fashion:
Canada has lost what the use of protesting?
This is common argument against criticism of the
Alaskan boundary award
Protests will accomplish a useful purpose They will
make clear that Canada and for all proposes to
put stop TO American encroachmens on our frontier
There was time when Canada estat lshed on tho
American side of the dividing line. Now the United
States have eaten their way territory which geo

We have been slowly but Systematically plundered by the
American republic ably assisted by the British govern

There is method what timid people in this couutr,
call the madness of protesting against the recent surren

be blind to the temper of the Canadian people on this
Alaskan question and it must know that the weakened
diplomacy that has robbed valuable territory in the

INDIAN SUMMER.

When the old dream returns
To the unnumbered hills.
When summers red fire Durns
Above earths myriad rllls.
o heart, how comes once more
An old dream to thy door.
When for a little space
The sad world wakes again.
And golden summers face
Smiles through the mist and rain.
o heart how soon a song
Comes back, forgotten long,
When Shines through autumn's dark.
The vanished Junes young FIRE.
And lighted is the spark
OF lost youth and desire.
o heart, It's Love come back
Across the years far track

There is one less dog in AIine than
last week at any rate. a small black
dog took IT on himself to thin out the
chicken population of the town and on
Tuesday night proceeded TO kill all he
could find. At last accounts he had killed
twenty chickens for different persons in
the north part of town. Oran Burk went
cunning for him. and finally went 10 the
house and got him. AS he was crippled
it mas a mercy to finish the job.
