1.-THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR SULZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties Of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon In addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner of the University Club Of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles OF
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the lau-
rel Of n hundred years OF peace. 1t
matters not so much as to the form
of the outward celebration, but let us
hope that it's full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tons, and that, whether north or south
Of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
of peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
"Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary OF
North America"
Many of our best citizens, l regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
ing the States of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
Of the fertility OF it's soil, the lib
erality Of the Canadian government
and the ability Of those people to bet
ter their conditions here.
"We should extend to them a help
ing hand in their onward march OF
progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion.
we should open them wider and do
everything in u power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent a
fairer and freer exchange of goods.
wares and merchandise should, In 80
far as possible, be eliminated."-Ad-
vertisement.

CHAPTER XIV.
Tho Fight at Monmouth.

The next day-Sunday, the twenty
! eighth of June, 1~77S-dawned with
| cloudless sky, hot, sultry, the warmest
day of the year. Not a breath or
| air stirred the leaves, and in the r
branches above US birds sang gleefui-
ly. Before daybreak we, who had been
permitted to sleep for a few hours,
were aroused by the sentries, and. in
the gray dawn, partook OF a meager
breakfast. A fresh supply OF ammuni-
tion was brought up and distributed
among the men, and, before sunrise,
we were in line, stripped for a o
days work, eagerly awaiting orders.
| can make no pretense at describ-
ing In any detail, or sequence, the
memorable action at Monmouth Court
House, but must content myself with
depicting what little | saw upon the
firing line of Maxwell's brigade. We
advanced slowly eastward over a gent
ly rolling country, diversified by small
groves. In advance was a thin line
Of skirmishers, and to left and right
were Dickinson's and Wayne's men,
their muskets cleaning In the sun
light. Early the rumor crept about
among us that Lee had come up dur
ing the night with fresh troops, and
assumed command.
Who led US was of but small conse-
quence, however, as there was now no
doubt in any mind but what battle was
inevitable. Already to the south
echoed a sound of firing where Nor
gan had uncovered a column of ORA
goons. Then a courier from Dickin-
son dashed along our rear seeking
Lee, scattering broadcast the welcome
news that K~nyphausen and his Hes
SLAMS, the van of the British move

of anticipation, the soldiers flung aside
every article possible to discard, and
pressed recklessly forward. Before
