New York, November 16.--(Specia1) "A
few days ago the Canadian prime min
lister, Mr.. Borden was appropriately en-
tertained in this city and made some in
formal comments in which a most en-
couraging and cordial view of the rela-
tons between Canada and the United
States was voiced. His visit was speedily
followed by that of George B. Foster,
who is the Canadian minister of finance,
and who is understood by New York men
who met him to be also the acting prime
minister. MIR. Foster came, apparently,
chiefly for the purpose of appearing as a
guest at the ninth annual dinner of the
Canadian club. How close are the rela-
tions between New York and Canada was
quite as emphatically disclosed at this
gathering as was the case earlier in the
summer when international financing of
considerable amounts between Canada and
the United States took place. In all
there are some 400 members of the Canad-
men of influence and some of great infiu-
ence in the social as wellsas in the finan-
cial and industrial life of the city.
One of the comments which were made
by Mr.. Foster In his delightful informal
speech in response to the toast to him as
the guest of honor was the statement
that the United States has invested some-
what In excess Of $6OO,OOoo00 in Canada,
these figures rejecting the best obtainable
estimate. As minister Of finance he should

is not so large an amount as is the cap

VALUABLE GIFTS TO

to the Contrary

Washington, November 16.-(SpeciaL)
While President Wilson and his family
have striven TO have the wedding of Miss
Jessie Woodrow Wilson and Mr.. Francis
f. Sayre as quiet and unofficial an affair
as practicable, the very position of the
brides father as chief executive of a
great nation naturally tends to make it a
social event OF not only national, but in
ternational Importance The wedding
party numbering 10, suggestive OF the
Presidents lucky number. comes from un-
official life.
While relatives and friends of the VIII
son and Sayre families will attend the
wedding in considerable numbers. neces-
sarily the guests will include many high
officials of this and other nations. When
the announcement of Miss Wilson's IN
gagement was first made, the President
discouraged proposed public subscription
for a wedding gift from official sources,
and it was intimated that such gifts

I.n.nd Of the Mos. Rose.

A German tradition gives the origin
of the moss rose as follows: An angel
came to earth in mortal guise. He
sought place of shelter and repose
after his labors of love. but every door
was shut against the heavenly visitor
At length the angel. being very weary.
sank upon the ground and over him a
rosebush spread like tent Ii caught
upon its outspread leaves the falling
dew which would otherwise have
drenched the messenger OF love. Wax
ing. the angel said to the rose:
Thou hast yielded the shelter that man
denied:
A proof OF my love shall with thee abide.
And the green moss gathered about the
stem
While the dewdrops shone like dladem.

The Great White shark.

The man eating, fish par excellence is
the great white shark. It is otherwise
known by the name Of man eater. DC
casionally specimens are seen on both
coasts OF the United States, though its
more customary habitat Is in tropical
waters. This frlghtful creature attalns
n length OF nearly forty feet. and II Is
nhle to swallow a. man whole. This
fact Is proved by nm experiment which
sailors are fond Of making when such
n shark is captured. The skull being
preserved. they amuse themselves by
crawling one after another through the
distended jaws. II would be unsafe to
do this. however. when the head has
been freshly cut or. because under
such conditions the jaws will snap to-
gether fercely for some time after

A FAMOUS Pirate.

on the ODD of May, 17O6. Captain
William Kidd. the famous pirate, was
executed at Execution dock, London.
Several others OF Kldd's company
were executed with him. The sum-
mary putting to death Of these pirates
did much to rid the seas OF piracy.
Kidd, who was the most daring Of all
the pirates Of history, exempllfied the
worst of his kind. Although his ex-
ploits have been greatly exaggerated.
there is no doubt that he was guilty OF
desperate crimes. His daring led 9th
ers TO emulate him. and the commerce
of the world suffered much because OF
the depreiations Of the pirates. Eng
land was the principal sufferer at the
hands Of the high sea raiders. and ac-
cordingly England was most interest
ed in their capture. Kidd's execution
began n new era Of commercial actlv-
ity on account of the greater security
enjoyed by merchantmen on the high
seas

FRUIT FED RATS OF UGANDA.
BY the Natives They Are Regarded as
a Dainty Dish.

The idea of eating rats Is so repul-
sive to US that we cannot imagine such
thing unless one were driven to 1t by
starvation. The people of Uganda,
however. eat rats not from necessity.
but because they like them. The rat
Ut Uganda. however, is very different
from the little creature that gnaws
holes in our cupboards. This rat is
much larger. 1t Is more than foot
long and Is therefore quite a substan-
tial animal and as well worth cooking
sas a rabbit.
The wonderful thing about this rat is
that Ii has two mouths, one behind the
iother The first mouth has pointed
ratlike nose and is furnished with two
rows of sharp white teeth. with which
the second mouth. which is placed just
above the throat This mouth also has
two rows of teeth. but one long slender
tongue serves for both sets of grinders.
Rats are not only eaten in Uganda.
but they are regarded as delicacy.
The king among his many retainers
has one whose duty 1t is to furnish the
royal table with rats. A rat catcher is
not an exalted person usually, but in
Uganda he is looked upon with respect
and walks with an air of dignity. He
goes out rat hunting daily and general
ly finds his game among the young
banana trees or in any place where
fallen fruit or berries may be found.
for this is what the rat lives on. Slen-
der shoots of bamboo or banana or
fruit and leaves are his food, and this
diet makes his flesh tender and whole
some.
