When John Brown Wouldn't.

Pol-Manear is a favorlte cast near
Balmoral castle and was always held
as the special preserve of John Brown,
who was the personal attendant Of the
late Queen Victoria. John was an en-
thusiastic and inveterate fisher, and
often the royal larder was indebted to
bis prowess for its supplies of spring
salmon when the rods of the other fish
ermen failed to bring them to the bank.
1t is automatically reported among an
glers on Deeside that when the queen
wanted John he was Immediately at
her call except when angling. and at
such times she would not disturb him.
The tacit understanding between them
is said to have arisen in the following
fashion, Her majesty one day sent an
imperative message to the riverside
desiring John to Immediately wait
upon her.
"Tell her majesty" replied John IN
his usual Doric, that | am rinnin'
salmon and Gamma come"
The messenger came back to him IL
hot haste, saying that the queen de
sired to gee him the very minute.
WELL tell her majesty this time tina
I am rinnin' a salmon and l vim;
come" And that settled it.

The call of the wild" These words
have been used to define that primal
instinct in man, which has been the
moving force in the worlds conquest
and civilization. The ancient Greeks
heard this magic call and pushed out
from the towns and cities they had
builded to form colonies on hitherto
unknown shores. The tradition runs
that 1t drove Eneas and his followers
from the ruins Of Troy to journey over
distant seas to the banks of the Tiber
and there found the Roman nation.
Later 1t urged on the Romans to the
conquest Of the wilds of Germany,
Britain and Gaul. 1t was In answer
to this call that Columbus made his
perilous voyage across the broad At
lantic. 1t led his followers, who col
onized these savage shores, to push on
over the Western prairies and the Pa
cifc slope and create an empire des-
tined to be the greatest in the world.
The tide OF empire which has so long
been flowing to the Occident is now
turning to the Orient. The savage
Islands of the Pacific and Indian oceans
have sent forth this call, and civilized
man Is answering It, 1t has sounded
from the jungles of darkest Africa. the
ice-bound regions of the Arctic and the
unexplored Antarctic and there will
soon be no more wilds. There are al.
ways adventurous spirits who feel cab
ined, cribbed, confined In the cities CIV
ilization has builded, who flee from
their luxurious life and obey with
alacrity this imperative call. They 20

untrodden deserts, to scale rugged

In search OF new worlds to conquer
When all these worlds have yielded to
human progress, the spirit of conquest
will no longer sway the hearts of men,
and that ancient prophecy that "The
nations shall learn war no more" will
be fulfilled. Then, and then only. will
the redeemed and reiuvenated earth
become fitting abode for aspiring and
enlightened man. Then the triumphs
he seeks will be those of art, science
and philanthropy, and human life will
have value and contentment never
