THE S~CHOOLMASTER,
Public School,
Swan Creek,
Alberta.

There was altogether q fine air about
the letter. The writing was in fine,
small hand, the tone was fine, and there
was something fine in the signature
arthur Wellington Moore" He was
glad to know that there was q school
and a teacher in Swan Creek, for q
school meant children, in whom his
soul delighted, and In the teacher he
would find n friend. and without a
friend he could not live. He took me
into his confidence, telling me that
though he had volunteered for this far
away mission field he was not much Of
q preacher and he was not at all sure
that he would succeed. But he meant
to try, and he was charmed at the pros
pect Of having n sympathizer at least.
Would 1 be kind enough to put In some
conspicuous place the inclosed notice,
filling in the blanks as I thought best7

breed nurse, Ponka. The approach Of
the church he seemed to resent as a
personal injury. 1t represented to him
that civilization from which he had
fed fifteen years ago with his wife
and baby girl. and when, FIVE years
later, he laid his wife In tho lonely,
grave that could be seen on tho shaded
knoll just fronting his cabin door the
last link to his past was broken. From
all that suggested the great world fbe-
yond tho run of the prairie he shrank
as one shrinks from a sudden touch
upon an old wound.
81 guess I'll have to move back" he
said to me gloomily.
"Why?" I said in surprise, thinking
of his grazing range, which was ample
for his herd.
"This blank Sky Pilot" He never
swore except when unusually moved.
"Sky Pilot2" l inquired.
He nodded and silently pointed to the
notice.
ooh, well, he won't hurt YOU, will
he?"
Cant stand It," he answered savage
ly; must get away"
"What about Gwen?" I ventured,
for she was the light OF his eyes. "Pity
to stop her studies" I was giving her
weekly lessons at the old mans ranch.
Dunno. Amt hggered out yet about
that baby" She was still his baby.
"Guess she's all she wants for the
foothills, anyway. What's the user"
he added bitterly, talking to himself
after the manner Of men who live
much alone.
1 waited for a moment, then said,
"Well, I wouldn't hurry about doing
anything" knowing we'll that tho mi
thing an old timer hates to do Is to
make any change In his mode OF life.
"Maybe he won't stay"
He caught at this eagerly. "That's
so! There amt much to keep him,
anyway" And he rode off to hts lone
ly ranch far up in the hills.
1 looked after the swaying figure and
tried to picture his past, with Its trag-
edy; then 1 found myself wondering
how he would end and what would
come to his little girl, and I made up
my mind that IL the missionary were
the right sort his coming might not be
a bad thing for the Old Timer and
perhaps for more than him.

The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure Of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor p at'ent, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Sy-
rup. Free expectoration in the norm
ing Is made certain by German Syrup,
so Is a good nights rest and the alb
sence of that weakening cough ard de-
bilitating night sweat Restless nights
and the exhaustion due to coughing,
the greatest danger and dread of the
consumptive, can be %prevente! OF

orally and regularly. Should you be
BILE to go to a warmer cline. you will

Improve the Streets.

In completing the Improvement Of
Main Street the city OF Laurens is do
ing what is right and wise. II a first
rate roadway be needed anywhere it is
needed to connect the business houses
with the railway station. More weight
is hauled over the few hundred yards
between the railway station and the
public square Of Laurens than over
any one or two or even three miles in
the county. 1t is only common sense
and common economy for the city to ia
c'litate this hauling.
Acting on the same principle the city
should go further when the necessary
work has been done and should mac
adsmize all the streets according as
the hauling over them is heavy. One
such street is North Harper which
connects the city with Watts Mill viii
Is West Church street.-The thorough
fare to q large extent of the people who
bring their cotton from Dials and
Youpgs townships.
Good streets are far more needed
than any other municipal improve
ment. In building them we not only
help ourselves but we help all the peo-
pie OF the county, the people whose
trade we get and whose trade we want
and must have If we are to "earn llv-
ings" in business In this town. Laurens
county outside of the city has a popula-
ton of about 35 900 people, all of whom
must come to their county town from
time to time and all Of whom we wish
to come as often as they conveniently
can.
1t seems to The ADVERTISER that
before undertaking to obtain other
and less useful ~cOnverieuces we should
at least give to Laurens county peo-
pie smooth, hard roads over which to
come into tie city with their wagon
and buggies.
When we maoadamize one of these
main leading into the country
we save time and money to thousands
who live beyond the town limits.
Sewerage, however valuable it
would be, would be valuable only to
the Town of Laureus.
Let us then build good streets.

The Japanese Hobsons.


In the war with Spain but one Hob
son appeared, n young officer fool
hardy enough, or brave enough il that
adjective be preferred, to attempt to
sink the ship upon which he sailed
with object of blocking entrance to a
harbor. In this war between the Jap
anese and Russians scores upon scores
Of Japanese HObsons have attempted
to seal the entrance to Port Arthur
and numbers have persisted. Finally,
it is claimed, they have succeeded, af-
ter the vain loss of numerous merchant
ships. Japan swarms with Ho5sons.
The Astatic is a fatalist. He believes
that when mis- time comes to die he
will die whether or no and he believes
moreover that death is a short and
certain cut to paradise eternal. Con-
sequently he halls the opportunity to
die for his country as a blessing and a
boon. His religious beliefs do indeed
DESTROY fear OF death in war to a large
degree. The white man, on the con
trary, Russian, Englishman, Jew or
Gentle, rarely or never forgets that
life is worth living and his thirst for
life never departs. To overcome this
love OF life requires the highest quality
of courage. The Orientals who have
for generations taught themselves to
desp!se life can therefore die calmly
and with what seems to be the greatest
courage and yet 1t is not courage in
the truest or best sense. The man
who does no keenly desire to live
may be almost q coward and yet die
bravely to all appearances.
In this phase Of their characters the
Asiatic peoples have a positive adj
vantage over Caucasians as fighting
men,.

A MARK FOR PITCHERS

Cy Young, of the Bostons, has set a
mark for pitchers to shoot at for all time
to come. Some day his performance may
be equaled. but there Is no chance to eN-
eel it. Not only was his work perfect but
the fielding OF the men behind him was
fearless. and as a result not member Of
the Athletic team reached first base.
Twice before has this feat been accom-
plished-- once by Lee Richmond and once
by John Ward. over 20 years have elapsed
since Ward and Richmond made thoir
great records. and the chances are 1t will
be 20 more before Young's feat Is duphcat-
ed. Young's performance, however. will
take precedence over that Of either Rich
mond or Ward, for the reason that at the
time they made their records the line OF
the pitchers box was only IS feet from
the plate and they were given greater
latitude within the Iox. They we're not
hampered BY any restrictions regarding
preliminary movements. They could take
a hop, skip and a jump before delivering
the bail. All they had to do was to have
their foot within the line when the BAN
left their hand. The box is how Is feet
farther back. and the pitcher must depend
for mis- speed entirely upon the impetus he
can give the ball in his swing.
In those days a batsman could not take
his base IL he was hit by a pitched ball
another distinct advantage for Ward and
Richmond in the games In which they
made their records Ward and Richmond
doubtless bit a batsman or two, for Il
was common trick then for pitchers tc
purposeiy shoot the ball as closely as
possible to the baisman for the purpose
of intimidating MIN. As a result batsmer
were more frequently hit then than they
are row. Had Young hit a batsman his
( record would not have been made. Bui
probably the greatest handicap chat
Young was under. as compared with ths
old-timers. was IN the extra distance hs
had to pitch the bail. The extra IS fee
that the ball now has to traverse IS a dis.
tinct advantage to the batsman. IL give.
so much more time Ia which to size up Tho
ball, to judge whether Il IS to be a curve
or a straight. Necessarily, Young's swift

Against Colorado Officials.
PEABODY MAY BE IN CONTEMPT

Governor Oroor6 Z federation Freaiuent
Turned over to Civil Authorities and
Claims He Acted Before Judge Thayer
In Telluride Affair.
st. Louis, June 16.-United States
Circuit Judge A. NJ Thayer, sitting in
chambers, has granted a writ Of ha-
beas corpus TO have Charles 81. Meyer,
president of the Western Federation Of
Miners, brought before him on July 8.
The writ is directed against Governor
J. H. Peabody Of Colorado, Adjutant
General Bell and Bulkeley Wells, an
other Colorado Official. The three have
been cited to appear with Meyer and
show cause why Meyer is being re-
strained Of his liberty by being con
fined in a stockade, or better known as
"the bull pen" at Telluride, Colo.
The granting Of the habeas corpus is
the result Of the war that has been GO
ing on between the miners union and
Colorado officials for several months.
Attorneys Hawkins and Richards Of
Denver, on their arrival in st. Louis
went direct TO the federal building
where for more than three hours they
argued the case of Meyer before Judge
Thayer.
Their arguments were that the presi-
dent of the Miners union was being
held in the bull pen without any law
or authority and was being restrained
of his liberty. At the conclusion of
their arguments Judge Thayer granted
the writ asked for, making it returna-
bic July 8.
