well feel proud of the manner in which
his country is represented at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. In come respects
the displays which Canada makes are an
example to other nations in classification

these advantages have contributed to MAX

pleteness OF Canada's participation in the

is being rapidly assumed by Canada
When it is known that Canada's pro-
portion Of population to its area Is only
l6 persons to the square mile, against q in
the United States INT SIS in England, that
only one-fourth Of its area is occupied and
that 1t contains $4,000 square miles, of

The agricultural display of Canada. is
an epitome of the agricultural products of
the country. Around a central and artis-

On a central table are giant specimens
Of potatoes. mangeis, beets, turnips and

From the enlightening tablets. of which
samples appear herewith. 1t is learned that
one Province In Canada produces
over half as much maple sugar
and syrup as is produced In all
the world; that better prices are
obtained for these Canadian product,
than for those produced in any other
country: that every Province in Canada
produces It: that the country's annual out

Notwithstanding this fact. OF the trees

the dairy industry in Canada has OF late

THE EMPTY SLEEVE.
BY DR.. J. R. RAGBY.

Tom, old fellow, grieve to see
The sleeve hanging loose at your side;
The arm you lost was worth to me
Every Yankee that ever died.
But you don't mind it at all,
You swear you've beautiful stump,
And laugh at that damnable ball
Tom, knew you were always a trump.
A good right arm, nervy hand,
wrist as strong as saping oak,
Buried deep in the Malvern sand
To laugh at that is a sorry joke.
Never again your iron grip
Shall | feel in my shrinking palm
Tom, Tom, see your trembling lip;
All within is not calm.
Well! the arm is gone, it is true;
But the one that is nearest the heart
Is left-and that's as good as two;
Tom, old fellow, what makes you start?
Why, man, she thinks that empty sleeve
A badge of honor; so do L;
And all of us-I do believe
The fellow is going to cry!
ssShe deserves perfect man," you say;
"You were not worth her in your prince"
Tom! the arm that has turned to clay,
Your whole body has made sublime;
For you have placed in the Malvern earth
The proof and pledge of noble life
And the rest henceforward of higher worth
Will be dearer than all to your wife.
see the people IN the street
Look at your sleeve with kndling eyes;
And you know, Tom, there's naught SO sweet
As homage shown in mute surlnise.
Bravely your arm in battle strove;
Freely for Freedoms sake you gave it,;
1t has perished-but nations love
In proud remembrance will save it.
Go to your sweetheart, then, forthwith
You're a fool for staying so long
Woman's love you'll find no myth,
But truth-living, tender, strong.
And when around her slender belt
Your left is clasped in fond embrace,
Your right will thrill, as if it felt,
In its grave, the usurpers place.
AS look through the coming years,
| see one-armed married man:
A little woman with smiles and tears;
Is helping as hard as she can
To put on his coat, to pin his sleeve,
Tie his cravat, and cut his food;
And l say, as these fancies I weave,
"That is Tom, and the woman he wooed.''
The years roll on, and then see
A wedding picture, bright and fair;
look closer, and it's plain to me
That is Tom with the silver hair.
He gives away the lovely bride,
And the guests inger, 10th to leave
The house OF him in whom they pride
