JENNY LIMBS GREAT TRIUMPH
Won Jealous Rival by Sweetness OF
Simple Song.

A beautiful little incident is told
concerning Jenny Lind and Grisi.
when they were rivals for popular
favor In London. Both were invited
to sing the same night at a court con-
cert before the queen. Jenny Lind.
being the younger, sang first, and was
so disturbed by the fierce. scornful
look of Grisi that she was at the point
of failure. when suddenly an inspira-
ton came to her. The accompanist
was striking his final chords. She
asked him to rise and took the vacant
seat. Her fingers wandered over the
keys In loving prelude, and then
she sang little prayer which she
had loved as child. She hadn't
sung 1t for years. AS she sang she
was no longer in the presence OF roy
atty, but singing to loving friends In
her fatherland.
Softly at first the plaintive notes
hoated on the air swelling louder and
| richer every moment The singer
| seemed to throw her whole soul into
that weird, thrilling, plaintive pray
err Gradually the song died away
and ended In sob. There was sill
ence-the silence of admiring wonder.
| The audience sat spellbound. Jenny
Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look
| into the scornful face that had so dis
concerted her. There was no fierce
expression now instead, tear-drop
| glistened on the long, black lashes
and after a moment. with the i'm.
pulsiveness of child of the tropics,
Grisi crossed to Jenny Lind's side,
placed her arms all cut her. and kissed
her, utterly regardless Of the audience.

HILL ON TRADE WITH CANADA

There is probably no man whose
opinion on our trade relations with
Canada is worthy of greater consid-
Grafton than that of Mr.. James j.
Hill. The key to the splendid future
Of the Dominion lies in it's great
Northwest. With that region Mr.. Hill
has been familiar for half a century.
He knew Winnipeg when it was a
small prairie settlement, the extreme
outpost of the Canadian frontier, says
the New York Sun. A Canadian
by birth, he went to st. Paul
and entered business there in
1856. In 1870 he established the Red
River Transportation company, the
first regular line of traffic communica-
ton between the great American
Northwest and the great Canadian
Northwest. Ever since that time he
has been closely identified with in
dustrial development on both sides of
the boundary line. fad

Cherokee Indians. 1t was the rise of
the Lone Star republic that after a

It was largely a result of his efforts
that Texas in 1S45 came into the I'm
Ion, and for fourteen years thereafter
he served in the United States senate,
along with statesmen like Webster

was from first to last a UniOnist,

arms had been raised. He was chosen
governor Of the state in 1859, but was
deposed in 1861 for refusing to take
the oath Of allegiance to the Confed-

died at Huntsville, Tex, in 1868. Hous-

total removal Of the Canadian-Ameri-
can tariff barrier an argument which
is as sound as our own constitutional
provision for free trade between the
individual states. AS Mr.. Hill says,
the conclusive argument for closer re-
lations always has been and must be
the experience of the several Ameri-
can states. We have as much reason
to dread Canadian competition as
Pennsylvania has to cry for protec-
ton against North Dakota, and Ca
NADIA would be in no more danger than
is Montana by the competition Of
Ohio"
Maintenance of the present tariff
wall between the two countries is an
illustration of economic cowardice. The
fear that Canadian competition under
freer trade or even under absolutely
free trade would work disaster to our
own producers is the fear of lusty
giant that one who is one-tenth of his
strength and stature will take some Of
his possessions from him. We have
little to apprehend on that score. A
few lines Of industry would suffer TO
some small extent, undoubtedly, but
the injury would be inconsiderable
and temporary. 1t would be limited
to a few people whose selfish interests
should not be permitted to stand in
the way of the larger interests Of the
indefinitely greater number. Canada's
entire surplus production could be
spilled into the United States and not
one in ten thousand of our people
know anything about it.
With freer trade Canada's growth
and development would be greatly
stimulated. With that growth would
come an ever increasing demand for
American wares and merchandise. This
desirable end can be effected by the
simplest of means. No reciprocity
treaty is needed. There need be no
change in our tariff rates which would
perceptibly affect our revenues. It
could be done by a liberal reduction or
a total removal of our duties on GER
tain articles Of Canadian production.
These various articles could come in
to our market with benefit to our con-
sumers and no injury to our producers
that would be worthy of consideration.
Canada would at once respond with
greater liberality toward our products
and with greater purchases of our
wares.
Mr. Hill is right in his declaration
that the time is opportune for a prac-
teal movement toward better trade
relations with Canada"

word of God, however. He objects to
the statement that the Bible lis the

everything in it must be accepted as
written. Such teaching, he says, has
been a most prolific source Of unbelief.
Nowhere" the bishop declares, "does
the Bible declare itself the word OF
God" 1t needs no defense. he adds
simply square deal. 1t should not be
used as a heather does his fetch OF

manipulate Genesis until it fits the

rather than stultify his reason. Such
a result is unnecessary, argues the

in which he participated. Few OF the
characters of our national history are
so well adapted as his for presentation
on the stage. and the stirring Incidents
in which he was a foremost figure lend
themselves we'll to dramatic use.
Sam HoustOn's career began in Wiz
ginia, where he was born in the year
1893. AS a boy he lived for some years
with the Cherokee Indians in Tennes-
see and was adopted by one OF their
chiefs, OolOoteka. This early associa-
ton with the red men had an important
influence on his subsequent career. In
1911 he returned to his family and en-
gagged for a time in teaching, but in
1913 enlisted in the United States army
and fought under General Jackson
against the Indians at the battle of Tai
lapoosa in 1914. He served as an In
