more are making a winning fight

Nearly 100000 railway en-

Quebec: No wonder we saw
tears we'll into the eyes of w. E.
Davis, railroad magnate and yacht
club commodore, of Montreal, pro-
foundry versed in the "habitant"
lore of the French-Canadian prov
inces, when he listened to the
loved poems of the late DR.. Drum
mond recited by his friend S. T.
Giles. In cor Quebec" you get
the very essence of the pathos and
picturesqueness of the "habitant."
Quebec is old, very old; and very,
very quaint. A day spent there is
forever a pleasant memory, and
a week spent there an education.
You remember an American
force came near capturing Que
bee once, but that was before war
balloons were in use. Lippe, the
GUIDE, showed us where Montgom-
cry fell. No wonder. 1t would
have taken an army of goats to
get up the side of that cliff.
Montgomery had Benedict Arnold
with him, but Arnold didn't fall.
Lippe was kind enough to express
the wish that Arnold had done the
ground and lofty tuna bling instead
of Montgomery.
Bronze tablets mark this and a
hundred other historic spots, but
Smith complained that they were
regular headache tablets. After
that Lippe refrained from giving
him any of the tablets oftener
than 20 minutes apart, so his
heart action wouldn't be affected.
Through the "Sous lie Gap" we
drove; that narrow, covered tsreet
in the lower town. $50 narrow
you can shake hands across it," re-
minded Lippe. Don't see any
body on the other side 1 want to
shake hands with" said G. A..
Leedy of the Youngstown Tele-
graph. So Lippe drove on. In
this street the little French chill
dren ran alongside the vehicle
crying "Goodby-one cent?" BY
the time the "goodby" had been
accomplished it had run up to one
dollar and thirty cents. It's rath-
