"0ld House and the New"
In the entire collection of DR.. Drum
mond's excellent poems depicting the
lives of the habitant people. there is
none more pathetic or truthful than
the one entitled: The Old House and
the New 1t is the lament of an old
man who has been moved out of his
shanty by a stylish son-in-law. The
old fellow tries to smoke away his
restlessness and inconsistencies, but the
blues won't down The shanty
looks forlorn and lonesome under the
shadow of the big house. The broken
windows and tottering chimney give
the hut an appearance of utter dejec-
ton. but the more desolate il appears
the more the old mans heart yearns
for It, He made it with his own two
hands. he says. and brought mis- old
wife there when she was a girl bride.
All the babies were born in it, and a
number of them died in it. He broods
and broods and then deserts the fine
house on the hill to again occupy the
tumbling shanty in the hollow.
The habitants refusal TO have his
condition bettered has something of a
counterpart in the experience which
the United States government met
when it first tried to induce the Indians
to live in frame houses. Everything
went well at the outset, but the red
man soon moved back into his teenee
in the grove. thereafter using his new
house as a stable.

RHONTREAL, Nov. 1S.-One OF the
IV most unique personalities on the
American continent is the rural
French Canadian of the province of
Quebec. The habitant type is one that
all students of human nature have
found worthy of study Springing from
one race and dwelling among another,
the character OF this frugal farmer and
sturdy backwoodsman seems to present
a, mass Of contradictions. His language
is either degraded French or mongrel
English; he is nearly always poor yet
invariably happy; although he is a
constant churchgoer he is not religious
in a spiritual sense; his patriotism is
OF a peculiar sort in that it does not
eavor Of allegiance to France or con-
Germ for the Dominion of Canada, but
is measured by the mere ambition to
preserve French dominance in the
province Of Quebec. y
Home, Sweet Home"
The one mark OF the habitant is his
love of home. The Grand Trunk rail
way, for several hundred miles east of
Montreal has a large local patronage
which it designates as the moccasin
trade" The French Canadian who is
employed away from his birthplace Will
spend his last cent to visit the home
folks. The instinct of nativity is so
strong in these people that when one
Of them commits a crime the officers
do not attempt to track him-they
merely find his haunt and keep watch
over it. The miscreants Drawing for
familiar scenes will soon overcome his
fear and prudence so that he will re-
turn TO his accustomed paths.
The reluctance to sever home ties is
shown in the character Of the farms,
which are merely long lanes with rows
of houses on the ends. When the ED
est son marries. the father splits the
home place and gives the youth slice
of land. The sons often become so
numerous and the slices so thin that. in

rem tract into orchards that were TO
produce the finest fruit in the world.
To build a house it was necessary
TO let down lumber and tools over the
edge of the canyon by means of rope
and tackle. For q time both Perrine
and lehman stayed at the canyon and
started retaining the soil and putting
TO good advantage the water supply
furnished by Blue lakes. But Perrine
soon found that money was needed 10
push things as speedily as he wished,
so ne agreed to go to Butte and work
in the mines. With the money thus
earned lehman tended TO developing
the ranch and orchards at Blue lakes.
In June 1893 Mr.. Perrine came TO s.
B. Miner of salt Lake and unfoided
the scheme which he had conceived OF
diVerting the waters of the Snake for
irrigation purposes. His faith in the
possibilities of the thing led TO Colonel
Miner to make an investigation and
becoming convinced that the project
was practicable. Governor F. w
Steunenberg and other Idaho men were
also interested.
