of the breath and thrill of pleasure
that had been his when years before
he had first penetrated to that spot
Presently he stretched himself at
full length on the luxuriant couch of
sunw warmed moss. The gentle sigh
of white pine, the warmth of the
afternoon sun and the woody odor so
peculiar to the spring soothed the
troubled spirit which had been driving
him over the hills since early morn
ing. ...
1t was Easter, rarely perfect
Easter in the very opening of April.
1t had given to the church bells that
morning an unwonted joyousness. The
whole world had seemed athrill with
hope and the promise of life and Joy.
John had heard it in the clear, sweet,
piercing notes of the meadow-lark,
and later in the soft phoebe" and
throaty little song of a Mtmouse set
ting up housekeeping.
This day the superabundance of life
and hope but intensified his own
hopelessness He had plunged into
the woods to do battle with himself,
for alone in the great temple of nature
a man may learn somewhat of him

some actually counted the words and
paid $47.73, for instance. for story 4, ,773
words in length. .s.
Now practically all magazines pay in
round numbers, SO much for a story,
whether the writer is beginner or not;
and for wel!-known writer's five cents a
word, fer really popular writer's ten
cents a word are the next step in the
financial scale. A writer like Richard
Harding Davis gets 40 cents word, and
the record price for work OF any length
is the 66 cents word paid to Conan
Doyle for THE Return of Sherlock
Holiness AS an investment it was worth
the money, for the American, Canadian,
Australian, British and translation
copyright, and for both serial and book
publication. More than 100000 has been
made by the copyright percentage of a
popular novel, where the author prefers
that arrangement. The recent payment
of dollar word for short fragment
of posthumous novel by DisraeN was
quite another case, of course.
Well, why not? Supreme success in
the literary art seems sometimes luck
but in such cases as Mrs. Wards and
Mark Twain's it comes of a most un-
usual combination of born aptitude and
long training. That it's rewards should
approach those of corporation lawyers
is no more than reasonable. And nc
writer of to-day reaps more splendid re.

all, Barnum was Barnum. He was per-

day the circus is an institution. When
Barnum saw his own show everybody
knew him. Five thousand children
grinned appreciatively at him. He got
points from them, too.
- Which part did you like best?" l
once heard him ask a middle-sized boy,
after the show
"Oh, the trained goat" the boy re-
sponded, with fervor
Barnum grinned in his turn. The
trained goat and it's trainer cost him
only SIS week. To sit in the press box
with Barnum was constant education.
The circus shows every April in Mad
ison Square Garden. 1t is the best show
town in the world, not even excepting
London, though London success may
be better advertising. But five weeks
of so performances in building holding
10000 people make a good start for a
season. There is always a following
week in Brooklyn under canvas to get
things going smoothly for the terrific
strain of the one-night stands.
This year we have the circus and the
hippodrome at the same time. Each will
help the other. 1t will be sort of fad to
see both and compare. Both are fash
Dnable. The high-priced boxes, fea-
ture of the show much less conspicuous

John AinSworth's
Easter Flower
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

u Y
John Ainsworth flung himself down
and confessed being tired. He had
tramped all of 1S miles over sharply
pitched hills, through the close clutch
ing tangle of scrub oak thickets, un-
der whispering pines, across brush
grown old pastures and around the
boggy shores of secluded peaceful
little woodland ponds.
Now he was back to his favorite re-
treat on Telegraph hill 1t was little
open spot on the very brow of the
hill. Back and on two sides an oak
forest stood guard, and below was a
dense thicket of saplings, too young
to cut off his view. Away across the
now greening pastures and lower
meadows he could see the spires of
the village thrust through the great
overhanging elms which hid the
houses. Beyond, the level brown
marshes stretched away to the irregu-
lar line of sand dunes, the outer line
of defense against the besieging wa
ters of the bay.
Beyong these in turn the horizon be-
came quiet, hazy blending of the
deep, almost purple blue of the water
with the soft light blue of the April
sky. The sun glinted from the white,
foaming curl of wave and the dis
tance made dazzling white the dingy
sail Of mackerel fisher
To John Ainsworth, the scene was
SO familiar that he was wont to call
it his "own." Yet to-day, as he looked
upon it, it was with the same catch

the British army. So Mark Twain in
these days seldom moves his pen except
where his heart is touched. So Rider
Haggard who made such success with
She and King Solomon's Mines" has
come to this country to make report to
the British government upon the Saliva
ton Army and other experiments in
farm colonies. A big slOw-spokeR man
is Haggard, thoroughly in earnest, a
Parker. For years Haggard has not
touched novel; his earlier earnings
suffice his needs, and he devotes himself
to the splendid dream, in which Ruskin
would have sympathized, of restoring
green England from the grimy,
strength-destroying towns that now
swallow up her people.
We shall soon need enthusiasts of that
sort in this country. Read Miss Brandt's
report upon consumption. There are
sections of New York where the death
rate from consumption is above so per
10000 living. There are death warrens
in the Chinese quarter where the yellow
men stifle in close rooLs, more crowded
than any other race, and pay for it in dis
ease. Next come the native Indians,
next the negroes-the descendants of
the field hands of the south and the
hunters of the forests. Then, and far be-
low the colored races in frequency OF
death by phthisis, come the white peo-
pies, beginning with the Irish and end
ing with the Poles, who are least of all
affected.

yet be raised in New York with as much

.CANADA'S SOLDIERS
HER IMPERIAL TROOPS SOON
TO LEAVE.
Dominion Then to Furnish All Of Her
Defenders - Something Concern
ing the Present Size Of Our
Neighbours Army.

The British soldier is to leave Canada,
and the Dominion is to depend, on home
military talent. On June of this year
the royal troops are to depart.
In 1871 all the imperial troops were
withdrawn save those left to garrison the
two naval bases of Esquimault and Hall
fax, and now Canadians are to fill these
places; thus almost the last link in the
chain which binds Canada dependency
to Great Britain has been severed, and
the military destiny of Canada will
henceforth be in her own hands,"
Esquimault, situated in British Co.
lumbia, on the Pacific coast, is very
important coaling station. It is garri-
soned by imperial and Canadian troops.
The Dominion pays the expensebof the
Canadian soldiery and half that of the
imperial.
England would rather keep her SOL
diery in Canada than remove them. but
her terms were not considered fair by
the Canadians. England desired Canada
to take all the money burden of the i'm
perial stations at Halifax and Esqui-
mault, leaving administration and con-
troll in the hands of the government of
the mother country. This was the old
disturbing condition Of taxation without
representation, and not at all pleasing
border 1t will cost them quite a sum,
the change Of military defense of their
own, something like one dollar head;
but it is thought there will be small
grunibling as the ''expenditure will be
made within her own territory, for their
own protection, and under their own
control" The military docks, works
and Notifications, paid for by the Brit
ish taxpayer, will be handed over to the
Dominion.
There was an unsuccessful rebellion
in Canada in 1887, the provinces reunited
in 1910, and the confederation was
formed in 1867 Since the confederation
the Canadian militia has been under the
Immediate command of major general
of the British army. For military pur-
poses the Dominion is divided into 12
districts with a district officer command
The permanent militia numbers about
1000 men, the active nearly 100000 All
adult males between 18 and 60 with GER
tain exceptions) that are not serving in
the active militia form the reserve mill
tia
1t was when the Fenian invasion be-
gan to spread along the Canadian from
tier, in 1866, men began drilling and
arming in the smaller towns of northern
Ontario, and in the large centers were
formed battalions and thence sent to
threatened points on the western from
tier. When the Fenian excitement sub
sided and the men returned to their
homes, the military organizations were
not allowed to die out. In the rebellion
of 1885, the Thirty-second saw service,
