century this country had four million.
At the beginning OF this century we
had eighty million, in another hundred
years we shall be jammed together,

One Of the causes of sorrow in the
world is the too rapid increase of the
human race. Mr.. Balfour may have
reflected upon the truth of this, but

had little ones hanging to their skits,
and left restless brood at home. They

them, and that the little ones must
grow up as their parents had before
them, with want waiting at their
doors, with vice for their companions,
and with pauper's grave Offering

The Mote and the Beam.

The pastor of a large city church
was detained one morning by lady
in his congregation. Il want to tell
you," she said, that l cannot come
here any more"
But why not?" was asked in sur
prise.
She tried to speak quietly, but she
could not keep the bitterness out of
eyes and voice. II have been coming
here three years." she answered slow
ly, "and in all the three years not once
has anyone said a pleasant word to
me, before or after service; and l
cannot stand it any longer; l am 60
ing"
II am sorry" the minister answer
ed, gravely. at should not have been
SO, do not wonder that you feel
hurt, especially as you yourself must
have spoken kind words to many in
these three years"
The lady looked at him in bewilder-
ment. a." she exclaimed. Il never
spoke to anybody-it isn't my place to.
l never thought of such thing"
1t was the old story Of the mote
and the beam. Through the three
years Of deepening bitterness against
her fellow-worshipers she had not
once brought her own soul to judg-
ment! Instead, she had lavished upon
it a weak self-pity, and gone her un-
happy way through the world of lone
Illness which she had created herself.

on honesty. One thing he said was
this:
What are we coming to? Are we

the idea of old Hiram Strobe?

Latest Claims for Use on The Great

Extensive plans are in preparation
by the Great Northern for using bot
tied steam for terminal traction.
Max e. r. Toltz of the engineering
department has just returned from
studying the method in Europe where
1t originated and building costing
$4,000 for which permit has already
been taken out. is to be added to the
jackson shops at st. Paul for devel-
opfng the equipment.
The scheme is of no use for long
distance but for short distance hauls
as far as Anoka, for instance or be-
tween the tw., cities, it makes a great
saving compared with locomotive pro-
pulsion.
Steam is made at a central plant
and stored in tanks, under enormous
pressure. A regular passenger coach
has a vestibule in front for the motor
man and storage tanks beneath. 1t
does away with the engine and tender
and the dead weight of fuel. A train
of average weight is coupled to the
first car.
1t saves in fuel because central
plant can generate steam S. per cent
cheaper than a locomotive. 49,.
The method developed in Belgium
is extensively used in Germany and
Switzerland.
Mr.. Toltz who has been with the en-
cheering department and also vice
president and general manager of q
logging road near Manistee, Mich, is
to join the general Office STAFF with the
title assistant to the president" a
new designation in the Great North
ern. His salary Is said to be $4,000.
At the Great Northern offices it is
said that the plans are still in the
formative stage.

CANADA MOVES UP NORTH.
Extends Jurisdiction of Britain's F1as
Over the Arctic Ocean.


U. s. Consul Ravndal, at Dawson.
writes as follows regarding Canada's
expansion in the northwest:
Last year royal northwest mount
ed police expedition, starting from
Dawson, proceeded as far as Herschel
island and hoisted the British nag
over new police (semi-military) post
there, thus extending the operation
OF Canadian law and authority to the
Arctic ocean. Canadian expansion is
no dream, but, on the contrary, a high
ly significant feature of the worlds
work of the present time. Having
some 35 years ago acquired from the
Hudson's Bay company four-fifths Of
the latter's tremendous grants in the
north, the Canadians have ever since,
and particularly under Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's leadership, devoted them
selves to the development of this vast
territory with a view to doubling or
trebling the width of the dominion. A
mighty instrument to this end Is being
forged in the shape of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway. Two new prov
inces have been in 1906 carved out Of
the wilderness of the north, not long
ago the virgin hunting grounds of In
dams and fur traders. Yukon terri
tory has been organized, and even the
Mackenzie district feels the inspira-
ton from Ottawa. Government agents
are exploring the Saskatchewan,
Athabasca, Peace, Slave, Mackenzie
and other mighty rivers of the north
land for the purpose of turning them
into arteries of commerce. Once more
the Hudson Bay railroad project is on
taDis."

In the left hand corner is a Dutch oak

Adjoining the parlor and observa4

foreign ambassadors were not respon-
sible for the change in their plans to

had asked that such action be taken.
This explains the decision of the corps
through the acting dean, Ambassador
Hengelmueller, to dispense with such
a proceeding.
Wherever the president has learned
that official notice from other govern
ments is being taken of his daughters
coming marriage he has sought in a
courteous way to prevent such recog-
milton. He learned that members Of
the corps contemplated sending Miss
Alice a gift which, in the light it would
have gone, could not have failed to
have official significance. The presi-
dent let it be known to the ambassa-
doris that he did not wish joint gift
to come from the diplomatic corps, and
Ambassador Henglemueller thereupon
notified his colleagues. The president
has been emphatic in his attitude in
such matters.
