nominal and the expense of the camp
is reduced to minimum
This camp is one of the features of
the work of the triangle department,
which was introduced four years ago.
This department of the association was
organized in 1904 with thirty MEM
bers, and now numbers nearly four
hundred. 1t began with a military
group of thirty members. and its large
membership now provides social reli-
gious, educational and physical advan-
tages as well as the military attrac
lions.

one of which contemplated trip to
Europe in repertoire The role of
Beatrice, however has long been ia
vorite one with her, and the opportu-
nifty of appearing with Mr.. Drew
tempted her assent.
It is believed that the production will
include bookings on the Pacific coast
in its routing, and a Los Angeles week
is regarded as a certainty.
July Ends Present Tour
Mr.. Drew will close his western tour
early in July and will then hurry to
New York to consult with Mr. Froh-
man and Miss Adams about the details
of the proposed revival. Whether or
not the production win be made in the
early autumn or next spring has not
yet been decided but it is understood
that it will not interfere in any way
with either Mr.. Drews plans to appear
next winter in another comedy by w.
Somerset Vaughan, in whose Jack
Straw he has scored a success this
year, or Miss Adams tour in Barrie's
What Every Woman Knows" which
is still playing to crowded houses at
the Empire theater in New York.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that Mr.. Drew, who of late years
has appeared only in light, up-to-date
comedies like Jack Straw" has a
much more extensive repertory of
Shakespearean roles than many of the
actors who devote all their time to
that department of the drama. He got
his schooling under Edwin Booth,
whom he supported in a wide round of
plays and who commended him highly
for his performance of several parts.
Later he appeared in most of the IA

Mrs. Harlon held the pistol in her
hand and examined its mechanism
with an absent-minded frown. The
loads lay in a glass of water on the
table beside her; presently she picked
them up in her fingers, dried them on
her handkerchief, replaced them in
the empty chambers of the revolver,
and. crossing the room, laid it on the
ichimney-piece.
Then she sank her hands deep in
the wide pockets of her empire dress
ing-gown. compressed her lips for an
instant, sighed heavily, and rang the
bell. To the responding servant she
said briefly:
Il want to speak to your MASTER"
and then she turned towards the win
dow and waited while the man went
through the many corridors that lay
between the private suite of his mas
ter and mistress and the billiard room,
where all the men of the party were
making a jolly end to a rainy day.

WESTERN clnlDl'S
HAPPY PROSPECTS.

In no year since the development OF
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than 1t
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement of imn1i-
grafton has already assumed large pro-
portions, and is as desirable in char
acter as it is satisfactory in volume;
from across the Atlantic sturdy, indus
trious and thrifty newcomers are ar
irving in large numbers, homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
Provinces are coming In a steady
stream. and from across the interna-
tional boundary a movement is al
ready in full flow, which, 1t Is conf
IDENTIFY predicted, will beat the records
of all previous years; special settlers
trains are crossing the line, loaded
with effects, actual material wealth
being thus brought into the country at
the rate of millions of dollars worth
monthly.
The movement Is so Unprecedented
ly large that extra Dominion Immigra-
ton officials have had to be provided
at both North Portal and at Emerson.
and 1t is estimated that the total num-
Der of new settlers from the United
States this year will be 10000, at
least. and may run well up toward

that as a general rule none could be
better suited to alleviate any female

Mrs. Harlon leveled her big, glorious

knelt at his feet, leaning her crossed
wrists upon his knees,

The st. Louis Giobe-Democrat sent
"a special representative to Des
Moines recently to make study of
the results obtained in that city in
its experiment with the commission
form of government. In view of the
agitation in Illinois which has taken
the form OF bill now before the leg
islature to permit cities of this state
to adopt similar form OF municipal
Des Moines by the st. Louis reporter
are herewith given:
One year of the Des Moines plan of
municipal government has proved its
worth. The adoption OF business meth
DDS in all departments, the elimination
of petty graft and a general improve
ment of conditions, added to the fact
that for the first time in II years and
the second time in the history of a
city over so years old the fiscal year
closes with a balance instead of a de-
ficit in the treasury, make the commits
sion plan, known far and wide as the
Des Moines plan, q tried success, nc
longer a theory of reformers.
Instead of exceeding the income by
$4,000, as did the old city council dur
ing the last year of its regime, the
commission began the new fiscal year
April l. with $4,000 ito the good.
Not single appropriation was exceed
ed during the first year of the Des
Moines plan. while some were several
thousands of dollars more than actually
expended Economy was the watch
word throughout the year and strictly
business methods prevailed. where
slipshod. political methods tor, rather
lack of them) had prevailed before
The result, so far as finances are con
cerned, is that the interests of the
city under the first year of the new
plan were looked after 100000 better
than the last year of the old plan
How has this municipal millennium
been brought about in the short space
of one year?
BY revolution which has cleaned
out the grafters from the city hal
and installed in their places business
men guided by business principles.
