a Fascinating Drama.

The peopling of the great Canadian

we view it from the large or small emu
of the telescope. e., from the point OIL
the great railroad builder throwing
steel spine across the continent, or from
the point of one little family unit find
ing its tree farm under the aegis OF this
transportation line.
The line of the Grand Trunk Pacific
across Canada is essentially the belt oil
homes. Who is it that answers the call
of the wheat2 The young, the brave,
the hopeful, the helpful, says Miss Ag-
mes Dean, in the March issue Of the
"Magazine of Commerce" The writing
tools to write the drama are the strong
arms of men and of faith possessed
women. 1t is good play for the world
to watch. The first scene is enacted on
the prairie farm where the virgin sod il
turned under to crop of wheat for the
first time since creations dawn. The
second scene is the grain elevator, seer
against the setting sun, and the waiting
wheat train of Grand Trunk cars. Oul

MAKING Good Alright.

That Congressman Plumley of this
district is mindful of the interests OF
the old soldiers in Vermont, as well as
other interests which touch the state
very closely, is already evident. He
has on several occasions put forth spe-
cial effort in behalf of the veterans
whose claims were entitled to prompt
consideration, but which were likely to
be delayed in fuIhllment by red'tape
processes and he is making good
otherwise in the important position to
which the voters of the Second district
elected him. The substantial standing
he has so quickly secured in Washing
ton is very gratifying to his constitu-
ents,-Ludlow Tribune.

is the Best Policy

The willingness of multitudes of
people to cheat the government is an odd
phase of human nature. Many people
who in the ordinary relations of life are
ccrupulously honest and who command
the confidence of the community don't
hesitate to evade their financial obliga-
tons to the government. Evasion of
taxes is practiced by throngs; evasion
OF customs duties is attempted by many.
