and aside from the last political broad
sides from the party newspaper or
ganizations in the morning the cam
paign in Canada may be said to be
oyer. The campaign has been the most
exciting within the memory of the
present generation and has been more
bitterly than the reciprocity struggle
in the early COS when Sir John A.
Macdonald won his last political con-
test.
Both sides claimed tonight to be con-
fident of the result tomorrow. In New
Brunswick, where the Conservatives
held only two OF the Is seats in the
last Parliament, that party expected
to make several gains. although the
Liberals refused TO concede the con-
tention of their opponents. One of
the most interesting contests is that
between Hon. VIM. Pugsley minister
OF public works in the Laurier cabinet,
and Henry a. Powell. Conservative, in
st. John city. The indications tonight
pointed to fine weather and tremend-
out vote tomorrow. Reciprocity and
the development of this port were the
chief issues here.
Both parties are circulating various 18th
hour reports designed to influence the vot-
ers One of these was the report of a
large deposit of American money in a
local bank for campaign purposes. The
report was denied in the form of affidavits

An eagle lives from so TO 1G0
years. The young birds are driven
forth by their savage parents to pro
vide for themselves as soon as they are
able to fly. No training is given them
by the old bird. That Is left to their
wild instincts, which hunger and ne
cessity develop. There is no "going
back to the old home" for the young
eagles. The mother bird tears up ev-
cry vestige Of the nest, and If they
emit plaintive shrieks the old birds
dart at them and push them of the
crags or rocks and thereby make them
take to their wings. 1t takes three
years for a young eagle to gain its
complete plumage and strength.

he believed he had the honor TO be re-

put so much out of humor as to go

Seymour and engage him to return to

Rev. w T.. Duren, pastor of the Tu-

When Mr.. Duren left he had no idea of
his station for another year. but If the
matter could be left to the community
which he has served for the past two
years, he would be returned to Tupelo.
During his two years p~astorate here he
has proven himself to be a preacher Of
marked ability and a pastor in every
