The Pleasure Seekers.

8 have said that the wealth OF this
northern land was in its forests; its
poverty in its rocks. It has still an
other source Of wealth which | hav
neglected to mention-its lakes and
rivers They make of this territory
the pleasure ground of the people not
only of Ontario but of the eastern and
central states as well.
Hundreds OF thousands of pleasure
seeking tourists are crossing the bor-
der line each year and iourneyfng into
the Lake Simcoe country. the Muskoia
lakes country, the Lake OF Bays coun-
try, the MagnetaWan river country, the
French river country and the Georgian
bay country. Take the little steamer
at Penetang and sail northWard
through the 10000 islands, and over
one-half of the hundreds of summer
homes to be seen one will find the
Stars and Stripes floating. The same
is true Of the Muskoka lakes and the
Lake Of Bays. Of the dozen or more
big summer outing clubs whose houses
line the banks of the Magnetewan EiT-
er practically all are composed OF pso-
pie from the states.
The American pleasure seeker has
become the pioneer in this country.
The Canadians have been satisfied to
remain along the lines Of the railway
or boats, but the American has
searched for new fields, and In doing
so has driven his canoe into the
smaller lakes and up the little streams.
The shores anG islands Of Six Mile
lake. of Blackstone lake. of Crane lake,
of Kah-pee-keg Ike. are being pur-
chased by people from the states as
places for summer outings
And yet there is room. Great as the
influx Of tourists and lumbermen have
been during the past few years, the
wilderness seems scarcely to have
been touched when one considers It az
a whole. This Canadian paradise is
destined in time to become the play
ground Of many more thousands Of
Americans, and to all who come Cana
da is bidding G hearty welcome.

THE VALUE OF CRITICISM.

Criticism, while not always the
most pleasant thing in this world and
which when misused is close akin to
knocking of the most contemplate
form, is at the same time one OF the
most valuable correctatives that exist
and it has done more to point out de-
fects and improve everything about us
than anything else we can think Of.
Kindly and honest criticism has point
ed out to many man his inclination
towards wayward career and has
brought him to realization Of the
dangerous pathway he was treading
before it was too late. 1t has shown
the inventor the flaws in his bit OF
mechanism and has enabled the me-
chanic to improve the work he had in
hand 1t has opened the eyes of the
artist to create more beautiful pictures
and has even aided the powerful press
i'm its moulding of public opinion.
1t is priceless to the publisher, and
he who will not listern to it is an
ignoramus and bigot. We are all
subject to criticism, whether we hear
il or not. and that being the case we
should all appreciate it when it is
given and not resent it when
we know it is fair and well deserved.
