ROYALTY WELCOMES The
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL AloHNEss, THE DUKE
OF coNNAuGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

1t was a happy speech. that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke of
Connaught, Governor-General of Can
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. It
was an opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, as it was specially intended for
American ears, the audience, COM
prlsed largely Of so many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
1t was in reply to an address of well
come rendered to him at the pretty
city OF Macleod, with the foothills of
the Rockies as setting, and the
great wheat fields between, and in
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, that His Highness, true to the
best interests Of the country and to
those of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their homo, said in
part:
II am well aware that among those
when am now addressing, there are
a very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag. Most Of
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws of Canada should be obeyed.
with this provision every one Is
free to CONS and go. to marry, to live
and to die as seems best to him, and
as 1t pleases Providence.
1--WE bring no pressure to bear on
anyone to adopt the Canadian nation

which Is obtained under compulsion.
Our American cousins are welcome
from over the border. Thrice we vel

ers, who return to the Union Jack, aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History is repeating itself. For
many years hundreds of young Brit
ishers have sought fortune in the
western States. Time has brought
about change, and the tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across
the frontier numbers Of our neighbors
to whom we are glad to return hos

A kiss has turned the town Of Delhi,
Tex, upside down. 1t has become an
issue in politics. Mayor Walker, who
received the kiss, unaware, says 1t was
inspired by his political enemies for the
purpose of defeating him, If possible,
In his coming race for reelection.
The kiss was delivered in the Delhi
opera house by pretty soubret in the
presence of a crowded house. and 1t re-
suited in sensation the like of which
Delhi has never seen. To make matters
much worse Mayor Walkers wife was
with him at the time.

furies of the elements on a broad, level

And then came along that little kiss
and upset the town right away-just
like that.
The OSCILLATION stirred the Primrose
reading class as Ebert Hubbard never
did. The Atheeum club laid aside the
classics for the more timely topic.
Shakespeare's immortal dramas no

The ultra pious fear wrath hovers
near. The old maids-pardon, bachelor
girls-sigh heavily. and sigh again.
There has been some talk OF a mass
meeting of Indignation, but that has
been among the hot heads only and
probably nothing will come of it.
But there is no doubt but that the
kiss has shaken the very foundation
of the social structure. The details
are interesting.
A show came to town called THE
Wizards Eye" 1t was described by
the Delhi correspondent as "a musical
opera" It may have been musical.
Possibly 1t was an opera. Doubt has
been expressed in both instances. But
anyway, the show was there in the
opera house and most of Delhi was
there too.

present. He was comfortably placed in
