Tom Wilson. for one reason or an
other, was not taught his letters until
long past the date at which most
youngsters have learned to read. 1t

had been strenuously taught In her

In later life TO speak feelingily of the
folly of having TO learn Latin in ones

have been his father. who was man
of very great positiveness and origi-
nality of opinion. was averse to having
his son get his first glimpses into the
world of knowledge otherwise than
through himself But, however 1t
came about. Tom Wilson was not
taught his alphabet until he was nine
years old. There was great deal Of
reading aloud In the family, not only
his father and mother. but his two sis
tiers, frequently reading him choice ex-
tracts from standard books. Sir Wal
ter Scott and Dickens were made Ia
miliar to the lad in this way. He re-
members still the pleasure which his
father showed in "Pickwick." reading
the instaIlments aloud, with Mrs. VIII

even at the early age of eight the boy
remembers that he appreciated much
of the humor of the young author.

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West. an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
The West still calls with imperar
tive voice To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens OF thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of VAN
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close to $780, 900 year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, max
ing total of 400, 900 per year, there
is strong influx from Eastern Cam
ada 1t is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse'
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at once set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work of mans hands,
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme. and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the "home-making spirit, The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universi-
ties, and producing a home environ
ment 30 that there will be no disposf-
ton to regard the country as tenn
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar-
atory to going back East or becoming
a lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure of the West Is strong. 1t
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are uncovered in trees and vocal
with the song of birds.-Advertise-
ment.

MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind.

The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use in
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary SO that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But it is not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color blind
that is. in certain parts of the field of
vision The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them If looked at
from an angle of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but in their places will appear shades
of yellow or blue. This region of the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone
If the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be SEEN
This region is known as the zone of
complete color blindness. An inter
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
of complete color blindness is the low
est stage, and appears in such ami
mails as the frog. whose vision is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in the
scale. although not clearly marked
of in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, accord
ing to this theory, a lack of develop
ment beyond the early stage of indi-
sidual life.-Strand Magazine.

MAY NEED big STICK
WILSON TARIFF STEAM ROLLER
STRIKES RouLDERs.
Foreign Nations Already Are Protest
Ing Against Two Features of the
Administration Bill and
May Retaiiate.

The woodrow Wilson tariff steam
roller has f1atteRed into silence the
house Democrats who reasonably
feared its destructive operations on
great industries of their several states
1t is fattening into silence the Demo
cratic senators who felt the same
fears.
Only two of them, Messrs. Ransdell
and Thornton of louisiana, have stood
up to be counted against the proposal
that a revolutionary tariff bill shall be
put through without giving the bust
ness interests of the country their day
in court or any public hearing for their
cause.
The roller is rolling on to put
double, treble and even quadruple tax
alton on all life insurance policy hold
ers, thus furnishing them for seeking
to provide for their families when the
bread-winner is taken away. The life
insurance companies have heaps Of
money in sight, and the millions of
customs revenue that are to be thrown
away must be made up somewhere.
Therefore disregard the promise
that men who have not incomes of
$4,000 year or more shall be exempt
from the income tax! Take it out of
life Insurance policy holders, their
widows and orphans, no matter how
much below 81 900 their incomes may
be- The administration needs the
money to buy Alaska railways from
the Guggenheims" and to build armor
plate mills.
The roller is now striking boulders
in the form of protest from foreign
nations inst two features of the
In "a a
duction e five per cent granted to
goods imported in American ships.
The other is that foreign merchants
and manufacturers exporting goods to
this country shall open their books
to inquisitorial investigation.
The former protest is technically
more important, since it rests on a
charge of violation of express treaty
agreements. The latter, though it may
be more easily overcome in its legal
aspects, is likely to become of greater
practical Importance. We may, of
course, fix the terms on which we will
permit foreigners to trade in our mar
kets- But if we fix too onerous terms
we are likely to provoke retaliation
Right at this point is where we are
likely to miss the tariff big stick
which the Woodrow Wilson bill has
whitfield down to a broom straw. Re
publican tariff bills made their rates
the minimum, and empowered the
president to impose greater rates on
the goods of countries which discrimi-
mated against our experts.
The Woodrow Wilson bill makes it's
rates the maximum. and empowers the
president to grant lower rates to coun-
tries which offer some apparent ad-
vantage to our exports or refrain from
discriminating. Yes. we are likely to
miss our tariff big stick" before we
get through with our experiment with
