the Region North of Aylmer LAKE

The results of Mr. Setons eXpeol'ioh
TO the Great Lone Land-the far north-
west of Can da and the arctic prairles-
are numerous. Primarily he went TO
studv the caribou in their primitive con-
dition. to complete the shore line OF
Lake Aylmer and to explore its sister
lake, Clinton Golden, but, enthusiastic
and trained observer that he is, ne
brought back information about mass
of other things, not the least of them
being his conclusion that even in those
remoter northern regions the white man
will make his home and prosper. Agrl-
| culture is possible there, he maintains,
reminding us of the days when the Red
| River region. which is now one of the
countrys richest grain fields. was con-
sidered as too cold for cultivation. The
timber there is an asset of the greatest
commercial importance. and as for the
winter its length seems to be no greater
than in Manitoba, while moreover he
assumes that with the constant turning
of the soil by the cultivator, and its
consequent absorption of heat. summer
frosts will disappear. And as for live
stock, there are the reindeer. and espe
cially the yak, which thrive where range
ha iC
merely beef, more finely grained" and
| it's milk is said to be rich. 1t is tame
and can be crossed with any breed Of
domestic cattle.
Thus far Mr.. Seton's most practical
conclusions, which, coming from him,
carry great weight. The sportsman
naturalist and the lover Of life in the
open will find in his book much reading
after their own heart and considerable
curious information concerning the "ebb
and flow of animal life, the periodic
scarcity and abundance of certain
forms Of animal life. North of the
Saskatchewan. he says. the antelope will
be exterminated by the fen"ing OF the
tracks of the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
which cuts them off from their summer
feeding grounds. With all this. the
author is not unmindful Of human
nature among the half breeds and Ind
ians he encountered on the way. The
sportsman who would follow in his foot
steps is warned to engage white men for
his expedition, not Indians. They will
be found more satisfactory in every
way; an Indian guide will suffice. Also,
beware of the mother of the wolverine
cub. She Is far deadier than the she
bear.

that Mr.. Hanna acted honestly and
frankly on political and economic the
ories which were universal at the begin
ming Of his career, but which were being
rapidly discarded toward its close.
Mr.. Hanna was a native OF Ohio, and
grew up under pioneer business condi-
tions. In fact, he was pioneer himself;
not in clearing forests or navigating flat
boats, but in tho development Of re-
sources and in the organization OF COM
merce. Starting as boy in the whole
sale grocery business in Cleveland, and
there showing initiative he was in a
few years diverted TO the iron and coal
business. He explored mines, built
tions until he became one Of the business
leaders OF the lake region, but he never
became trust man. or part OF the
great Industrial combinations which
have come to occupy so large a place in
American business life. His business
had vast ramifications, but his relations
to II were essentially personal. He was
rooted in the soil Of Cleveland. He in
vested in enterprises less from cool cal
culation of money making than from a
healthy human impulse to take hold Of
things which came to his hand and make
them successful. He never became a
homeless fnancier He was the type Of
the successful business man of the 70s
and sos. loyal to time -honored tradi-
tions in business and politics. eager for
success. generous in personal dealings.
true to friends. fair to enemies, making
no sharp distinction between private and
public interest. and firmly believing that
whatever promoted the prosperity OF in
divlduals promoted the welfare OF the
whole country. He had not arrived at
that class consciousness so diligently
preached In later years, which saw in
the prosperity Of great enterprises only
a narrowing OF the opportunity OF the
average man.
Mr.. Hanna accepted political condi-
tions as he found them. He was not
reformer or an abstract idealist. Hav-
ing come fortuitously into control of n
Cleveland street railway, he at first
fought political attacks, but soon yielded
to the conditions of municipal corruption
which confronted him AS his field OF
influence widened he likewise accepted
the political practices existing In both
parties. He believed in party organza-
ton; he believed that the interests OF
his country were bound up in his party's
success. Patronage was legitimate in
strument Of .litical warfare. Money
was Necessary to organization. He him
self gave freely. and in the management
OF campaigns he openly developed and
carried TO perfection the system of as
sessing business interests for the promo
tion of policies believed essential to pros

self or others, or Of any understanding
that the more perfect his system. how
ever legitimate 1t seemed to him, the
more surely must 1t in the end weaken
the consideration for material prosperity
IN the minds of the electorate. Mr..
Hanna considered II the duty Of finan-
clers TO protect the country from eco
homlc dangers, but he was scrupulous

their lives, became somewhat con-
strained because the President refused

Aside from his political activities, Mr..

was in connection with the civic Fed

ruthless plutocrat, he was, in fact, most
synpathetic to labor. In his early life

Richard Davey. IN The Morning Post
In looking through some notes recently
came across a fresh confirmation OF
the cid adage that there is nothing new
under the sun" In the British Museum
there Is a curious pamphlet, printed In
Italian and entitled "Delr' Arcane del
Mare" which was originally written in
English in the reign Of James by Sir
Robert Dudley, son Of the famous Earl
of Leicester, Queen Elizabeth's favorite,
by his second wife. Lady Sheffield. Sir
Robert, 1t seems, was man OF ideas,
and the object of the tract In question,
when is supposed to have been pre-
sented to King James, was to unfold cer-
tain helpful political schemes, the first
part being devoted 10 "A Proposition 10
Bride the Impertinency Of Parlia-
ments" The second. however. is Of
greater interest, and, under the heading
of Means to Increase His MaJestys
Revenues" contains suggestion which
reads curiously in the light of the re-
cent attempt to crowd the House OF
Lords with new peers. Sir Roberts
opinion was that all new creations
should be made to pay for the privilege

McManIeaI Will Probably Be Re
 leased.

Los Angeles, Dec. 2S.-"What will be done with Ortie E. McManigai' chief government witness in the dy- namits trials?" was the question put tonight to District Attorney John D. Fredericks, who prosecuted the Me Namaras.
 That will be a story for another day. said Fredericks. "McManigai will be here soon, but l cannot dis- cuss him now. I will say, though, that without his testimony and as- sistance. there would have been no case here last year nor at Indiana polls"
 McManigal confessed to having blown up the Llewellyn Iron Works on Christmas day, 1910. He is also under a federal indictment which charges him and the imprisoned NC Namara brothers, Olaf A. Tveitmoe, E A. Clancy and J. E Munsey, with having conspired illegally to trans porting dyna.aite into California But the general belief is that when the state authorities have loaned McManigal to tine federal prosecutor in Indianapolis, it was understood that nothing would happen to nm when he was returned.
 Pending the outcome of the Indian apolfs trial. the case against the ia- bor leaders in the local federal court has been deferred from term to term It is scheduled to come up again on January 13.

Good and Bad Furniture.

The line between good ornament and bad ornament is the line between beauty and ugliness.
 The only good furniture is that which is both beautiful and useful.
 All furniture that lacks either beau ty or usefulness is bad furniture.
 Furniture that is we'll constructed. of good shape, and excellent finish. is good furniture no matter how elabor- ately 1t may be decorated.
 Furniture of bad shape or bad fin- ish, is bad furniture no matter how free from meretericious mounts and carvings.-George Leland Hunter in Country Life in America.

 After the verdict was rendered the court addressed the jury as follows:
 "Gentlemen of the jury, 1 don't think it is incumbent upon me to thank any man for performing his duty, but cannot in justice to my own feelings permit you to separate and go to your homes without ex- pressing the appreciation that l feel for the faithfulness and fidenity and intelligence with which you have per formed your duty as jurors in this case. For three months you have been separated from your families and your friends, you have been den idle the privilege of attending to your business: you have been cut off from all intercourse with the world, and there has not reached me single complaint from any juror. All that I can say Is that you have, in my judgment, performed great pub- lie service. that you have done it intelligently and periodically and want to publicly state to you that these are my sentiments.

 Speaking for the jury, l wish to say that we gave careful considera- ton to all of the testimony and ar rived at our verdict after due deiib- eTation. said Mr. Dare.
 Strange to say, from the start, 1t YVES agreed that Buckley and Self fert were innocent. They were promptly acquitted and then we took up tho other defendants one by one
 Every name was gone over and every man was discussed. From the start. it was the unanimous opinion of my fellow jurors and myself thai Ortie D. McManigal had told the truth. We regarded his testimony as unshaken by cross examination and thought of him as self confessed criminal who was exposing his asso- ciates in order 10 proyide light sentence for himself.
 Tn our minds there was no doubt as to the guilt of Ryan and other members of the executive board of the union When we filed out to re- turn our verdict, looked with sor- row on the faces of the women whose husbands, sons, brothers and fathers were about to be sentenced to a red eral cell"
