NarratIng the romantic story OF the

man, as II was told by a pioneer OF the
district, visiting in Edmonton, the Capt.
tai says in its current issue:
"T-avers was one OF those unfortu-
mates known In the old country among
the higher classes as "a younger SON.
When sixteen years OF age his family
shipped him Off TO South Africa. where
he served five years in the Mounted
Rifles. Returning to England at the end
OF his time the life OF his set palIed
upon him. The years spent in the wild
free life OF the veldt had awakened tho
wanderlust in his heart. and after 3
week at home Travers was once more
oceanbound, this time for Canada
Arriving in Edmonton ne Joined the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police and
was shortly assigned TO a post in the
north country. Travers proved himself
a splendid officer. so invaluable that his
superiors for a long time overlooked his
failing for liquor. But finally he was
sent farther north, where there is no
liquor nor white women. &,
There he came almost daily in con-
tact with Indians and breeds; IN fact.
they were his only companions, and
being a man with red blood in his veins
he fell to the charms OF an Indian girl.

ENGLISH RECTOR Is
SHOCKED BY DRESS
Declares Woman's Garb Is an I'm.
modest Exhibition of
Figure

London. Sept. 2-The Rector OF Lee
is shocked by what he describes as the
present display of SEX on the part of
women. and their ''glaring and immodest
exhibition Of figure
Writing in a welI-known church paper,
he says: "The subjects on which we
read in the papers in these days are
enough to make our grandmothers, dear
good old souls. turn in their graves.
II had penned most of these thoughts
and preached them before finding myself
in the distinguished company Of the Pa
triarch OF Venice, who seems to be i'm
pressed with the lack of modesty, coy
ness and simplicity. as evidenced in
present days fashion. In speaking of
women of society and fashion, 1 make
no attack on the traditional aristocracy
of England. England's ladies, true to
type, may be left to their own external
Interpretation of sex dignity and taste.
Long may our gracious Queen Mary
maintain the present royal example in
this respect.
Thanks to the doubtful blessing of
cheap finery a dairymaid may bedeck
herself in the colors of a duchess with
out society being injured, but IL she go
further and imagine that the present
display of sex is a mark OF good breed
ing, and initiates IL, she loses self-respect
and society is injured, indeed. 1t has
ever been pardonable and pleasing van
ity for woman to be fond of displaying a
pretty gown. but this bears no relation
10 the present disregard of dress and
glaring and immodest display of figure
1t is not to the advancement and wor-
ship of all that is best or beautiful in
woman that she should delight in setting
prurient boys and unclesn-minded men
staggering at her self-suggested outlines
as she walks along the street."

within the last year the clergy began
to go into THE upper country more fire.

against Travers and his common-law

soon after this event Travers, the
mounted policeman. came to headquar-
tiers with a prisoner. and after deliver
ing his charge he was himself placed
under arrest and lodged In the guard
house without his spurs. This disgrace
OF being 'cashiered' from the service
faced Travers and would have been car
ried out only for one thing.
Several months previously Travers
had applied to buy himself out of serv-
ice, and when he faced his superior Of
ficer he protested against the proceed
ings. Guessing shrewdly, Travers figured
that his application by that time must
be nearly first upon the list, and he
stated that fact to the commanding Of
ficer. The records were searched and
Travers found TO be right. He was al
lowed TO leave.
"Travers returned to his home in the
north and took up the life OF a trapper.

Now il seems almost certain an. Amer

Gence OF the commander-in-chief OF his

wife OF Lieut. Gen. Sir John Grenfell
Maxwell. K. c. B., d. S. o. Lady Max
well was Louise Bonynge, stepdaughter
Of Charles W. BOnynge, formerly of Cal
ifornia. Her sister, Virginia, married
ViscOunt Deerhurst. heir OF the Earl OF
Coventry.
As wife of the commander-in-chief,
Lady Maxwell will rank all the women
in official life in India, save the vice
refine herself.
This desirable post had been given to
Gen: Sir H. L. Smith-Dorrien. 1t was
expected that he would take command
next April, but his health is SO bad that
he will be compelled to retire from the
army. Two candidates for the important
position OF commander-in-chief are being
considered by the war Office, Lieut.. Gen.
Both are extremely handsome men and
fine soldiers
Headed for Indian Court.
Hamilton has had much experience in
India. where he was Lord Roberts right
hand man. But Maxwell has the ad-
vantage of being much the younger
He has a brilliant record OF service in
Egypt, and was military governor of
Pretoria after the war in South Africa.
His friends are assured that he will
gain the coveted position.
Mrs. Bonynge, mother Of Lady Max

"TAFT GOING WRONG"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-"A shin
ing example of a good man going
wrong was the characterization OF
President Taft by Senator Stone, OF
Missouri, in a speech in the Senate,
attacking the Presidents veto of the
ic-Progressive wool tariff
bill.
"The President is high-class
man." he said His ideals and i'm
pulses are naturally good. I believe
him to be patriotic American de-
voted to the interests of his country
and it's people. If left to follow the
bent of his own inclinations he would,
1 think, seek with singleness of pur-
pose to promote the public veal.
But he is so environed with politi-
cal exigencies, so bound by the in
terests to which his party is obli-
gated, that he often allows himself
to be overpersuaded. Instead of lead
ing he too-often allows himself to be
led. He becomes the servant of the
special interests instead of the peo-
pie. He is a candidate for re-elec-
tion and he is beset by numerous
embarrassments." f
