Canada and the United States.

The signs upon the horizon OF
the future are many which indicate
that the great Angle Saxon empire
and the great Anglo-SaXon repub-
lie will have to draw nearer to-
gether. They have largely the
same ideals and are moved by the
same spirit. To them both civil
ization has the same meaning and
it matters little, so far as the ad-
vance of the influences which we
call civilized are concerned, whether
the Stars and Stripes or the Union
float over those fierce and flut-
tered peoples, half devil and halt
child" It is not necessary, nor
will it likely be expedient, that
there shall ever he any political
union between the two. Each Is
so large that any combination
would very probably prove hope
lessly unwieldy. But there can be
cooperation and mutual support.

LlNCOLN'S SPRINGFIELD HOME
No Visitor to the Illinois Capital Can
Forget.

Certainly the visitor to Springfield
does not forget that Lincoln liyed
there. Wherever l went l could
feel the presence of that mighty
and kindly shade, which seemed
to stand in the midst of the flat
country, like some colossal mon
ument visible everywhere. The
character of the country itself, it
seemed to me, was appropriate to
Lincoln. His people had come
westward over the Virginia and
Kentucky mountains, and after
various sojournings in Kentucky
and Indiana, had found their way
to this region. The migration was
a fortunate one. This prairie coun-
try, less fitted to please poets and
artists than to breed and raise men,
was a more appropriate home for
him than any mountain region
with hills too steep for pillow
would have been. His genius was
nourished by the rude plenty and
success of the new country. The
contagious well-being and hap
piness of the thrifty, money-pro-
ducing neighborhood were good for
him The power and audacity of
his humor, thought, was in some
degree the result of bringing up
among a successful and happy
people.
Then for his education in knowl-
edge of men and in the acquisition
OF skill III their control, the society
that occupied as much of level
country as could be seen from the
court house cupola was sufficient,
What better training as all observer
and leader of men and as a poll
tician could he have had than was
afforded him by his daily business
OF advising farmers who came to
consult with him about their affairs
and of dealing with and handling
juries. Men are much the same
everywhere and may be learned
as we'll i'll one place as another.
Young men are apt to think chat
knowing met means wide travel OF
knowing celebrated people or peo-
pie who are in the newspapers;
whereas some old rustic, who has
rarely been out of sight of his OWL
village, may know men far better
than much travelled people or So
called men of the world because he
has the head and the eyes for

lon Montgomery Pike was the favored
one who led the expedition into the
newly purchased Louisiana country.
The year before, during nine months Of
1906, he had been assigned to con-
duct an expedition to trace the MisSiS-
sippi to its fartheSt source. What he
did in this connection is usually for

mission he undertook in 1SO6-'1.
Jefferson was a firm believer in Ak
ploration. He sent Lewis and Clark
off toward the northwest to see what
that region might develop. He sent
Pike toward the southwest to follow
the line between the Louisiana country
and Spanish possessions. a line not
definitely established until after the
treaty of 1919. These explorations
made Pixies name famous. He was
killed in the war of 1912 while leading
an assault against what is now TOrOn-

of the country. SO it was with Pike's

whom were afterwards known as
"Pikers.' Long before that, however,
the geography of the country had paid
its tribute to the explorer. Counties,
towns, villages, townships were given
his name. He was acclaimed every
where. His fame is a certain tribute
to the American love for the adven-
turer and explorer. who seeks new
fields and adds to his country's glory

known.
There is just reason for the Colorado
celebration, says the Chicago Tribune.
The pioneer explorers of the West can
not have too much honor paid to them.
Their descriptions were often unscien-
tiic. their conclusions erroneous, but
they were the pathinders for the ire
mendous migrations which, in after
years, pressed forward to make the
"great American desert" a home for
thousands of settlers. The fortune Of
Pike was far better than that which
falls to the lot of most explorers, for
his own generation honored him. The

A Wise Cat.

A true cat story is told by a CORE,
epondent OF the Hartford Courant. A
family moved to a new home twelve
miles from the old one. They gave
their cats to a friend about six miles
from the new home. One Of them, the
mother cat, remained at her new quar-.
tiers only a short time, and nothing waa
heard from her until this summer, when
nearly two years had passed. One
morning she was discovered in the y.Td
of her old mistress home in the city
which she had never seen, being born
and raised at the old home in the coun-
try. To the greeting Of her mistress
she responded with every show of affec-
ton and delight. OF course, the a
derer was made welcome. She shows
q decided aversion to being put out OF
doors at all, and clings with q devoted
ness which is really touching to her old
friends. "NOw," asks the writer, could
this be merely chance that pussy, in
her tramp life, should find her way to
that particular place, or do these dumb
creatures know more than we give them
credit for?"

TO RESTORE GREAT GAME.
Government Proposes to Establish
a Natural Preserve.


Nearly 10000 acres in one natural
game preserve! Such is the new enter
prise which the national government is
establishing in Oklahoma.
As far back as tribal tradition runs,
the Wichita mountain region has been the
~favorite hunting grounds of the Comanche
and kiOwa Indians, drawn thither by
abundance of game and delightful eli
mate. But now game, like the Indians,
is largely a thing of the past. 1t is pro-
posed to reproduce in this splendid nat
ural park all the best species of game
animals and birds that once made the
great West the hunters paradise. Deer,
antelope, bear. the otter and beaver. quail
and doves. prairie chickens and wild tur-
keys will De given protection and encour-
aged to increase and multiply.
Probably the most interesting feature
Of the undertaking will be an effort to
have. in the course of years, large herds
of buffalo again roaming the plains
within the reservation-as they did before
the pitileSS warfare upon them was car
ried so nearly TO the point of extermina-
ton.
At present the preserve is tenanted only
by such game birds and animals, pitiably
few in number, as have escaped the horde
of hunters who have overrun that region
ever since Oklahoma was opened to SET
Element. The animals of importance ara
deer, antelope, small black bear, mountain
Ions, bobcats, wolves, coyotes, otter and
beaver. Before the adjacent country was
opened for settlement, deer and antelope
were plentiful, but both have been siaugh-
tered almost to determination. The deer
are usually found on the high ridges, while
the antelope feed in the prairies. Both,
however, can still be found in sufficient
numbers to form a start for large herds,
if they were given the necessary protec-
tion

When wun of the departments sends
printed matter to Congress spelt in the
simpul fashun, and Congress orders 1t

in the old and more diikult stile.
AS a consequence, many thousands or
documents will have TO be reset and re-
