Not Enounh for Him

Everyone who has visited st. Paul
and Minneapolis knows there is a de-
cided feeling of rivalry between these
two large. growing cities. A speaker
addressing an audience at st. Paul,
spoke of the reckless driving Of mo-
tor cars that at that time was preva-
lent in Minneapolis and expressed the
hope that st. Paul would not follow
the example of her rival city. why"
said the speaker, '1 have heard that
some four or five inhabitants are killed
in Minneapolis by automobiles every
week" And to his amazement from
the audience came voice: "Wa'al, it
amt enough"

Three-year-old Dorothy, who was al
lowed to play on the parkway, was
told by her mother she must not get
acquainted with strange people. One
day an organ grinder with a monkey
stopped to play and Dorothy made
friends at once. AS the organ grinder
moved away Dorothy followed, her
mother called to her, and she paused
long enough to say: Use vest gettin

George Carter, very just man, car

found it necessary one day to leave
his establishment to the sole charge
Of John, his assistant, and, as usual,
thinking it necessary to impress upon
him the necessity of dealing fairly by
his customers, left him with these
words;
'Well, John, If ever in doubt, quote
a text to yourself, and you will find
great help from it in your dealings"
He had not been gone long before
lady walked into the shop, and asked
to see some shawls.
John, pulling one out from under the
counter, asked her how she liked 1t,
stating that the price was two dollars.
1t was very nice one, but she, being
able to afford better, asked to see
others.
John, ready as ever. fetched another
out Of the same box, and, spreading
this out on the counter stated the
price to be $3.50. Still she was not
satisfied, so, fetching another one, also
out of the same box, he asked her how
she would like that at five dollars.
The lady ~as pleased, and would
have that one"
John, flushed with mis- success, on
his masters return told him all.
His master was very angry and
asked him what Scripture quotation
could have been in his mind when he
cheated the lady that morning.
John frightened at this, and with
full importance, replied:
"She was a stranger, and took her

quality that permitted 1t to go through
so readily, but by dint Of repeated eff

the mind of Col. Roosevelt should find

proceed to make amends for the thing
it perpetuated under his guidance
OF course it is unthinkable to Col.
Roosevelt. Just as his action in the

are under construction, which open
up new regions of beauty. One Of
these will be the road up Mount
Revelstroke, 4 miles Of which is al
ready finished; 8 miles more Of a z per
cent graded macadam roadway will ex-
tend 1t to the summit, $3.50 feet above
sea level, from where the panoramic
view Is excellent. For 75 miles on
either side extend the snowcapped
peaks Of the Gold, ulecillewaet and
Selkirk ranges. Thousands Of feet be-
low in the pine clad valleys can be
caught glimpses of the Columbia and
ulectllewaet rivers. By easy pony
trails from the chalet can be reached
W beautiful lakes-Eva and Millar-
and from their rocky shores a pano-
rama of the Great Northern glacier is
unfolded.
Other scenic attractions along which
the great motor highway will pass are
the Columbia and Windemere valleys,
the Vermillion pass and Kootenay and
Okanogan lakes, 49,.
The completion Of this transcon-
tinental motor trail will be Of interest
not only to American motorists as an
attractive scenic route, but it will also
give impetus to the automobile trade
in Canada, opening UP new markets
for American-made cars and increase
trade opportunities in, that line.

routes in the world. From the lana or
Acadia to he shores Of the Pacific it
will run 5000 miles through fertile
plains and valleys and over moutain
ranges.
Most Picturesque Part.
The most picturesque part of the
trip is from Calgary to Vancouver.
From Calgary the route leaves the
Rockies, and penetrates into their
Businesses 80 miles away at Banff,
from where the road turns into, the
Vermilion' Pass and then down the
valley of the Columbia to Cranbrook.
Already the run from Cranbrook to
Creston has been made by automobile,
and it will not be long until the trail
to Nelson, Grand Folks, and Vancou-
yer is finished.
When this great route is completed
it will not be necessary for Canadian
motorists to incure the expense Of
foreign travel, for no finer trip can be
made under the flag Of any land than
that over this transcontinental high
way. Even the Tyrolean or Swiss Alps
cannot surpass the Selkirks or the
Rocky mountains for grandeur, beauty
and variety Of scenery. In a few
hours the motorist can travel Switzer-
land from border to border, but it
will take many days to see all the
splendors Of the, great northwest.

ANOTHER INTERESTING LETTER
FROM BASCOM-CHINESE DELE
CATION OPENED PERFORMANCE
FARGO DELEGATION is ALL
WELL

Y. M. c.. A. Camp, Williams Bay,
Wis, June II, 1914.-The Fargo dele
cation are all well and happy. Ptxler
has been chosen a member of the
committee to lay plans for next years
convention.
Yesterday afternoon four small
steamboats, took about 500 delegates
from the camp on an excursion
around the lake. Lake Geneva is a
mile wide and about eight miles Ions.
We got the ride for a quarter. The
shoreline is entirely taken up in places
with beautiful summer homes.
The Northwestern Military academy
is almost directly across the lake from
the Y. M. C. A. camp. We can see
their flag and hear h sunset gun
every evening.
Free swimming instruction is given
to men of the camp every afternoon.
One of the most interesting meetings
of this convention so far held was the
stunt night on the shore of the lake.
The grounds were decorated with
Japanese lanterns n colOred fire was
burned at frequent intervals.

Automobile Highway
Will Run From Ocean to Ocean

Consul General r. E, Mansfield,
Vancouver, B. c.: There is perhaps no
better example Of the remarkable pro-
gress being made by Canada in pro-
viding Transportation facilities
throughout the length and breadth Of
the Dominion han the construction
OF an automobile highway from ocean
to ocean,, which is nearing, completion.
Twenty-Five years ago the plan to
build a railroad from Halifax to VAN
couver was considered visionary and
impracticable. To cross the barren
wastes above Lake Superior, the vast
prairies Of Saskatchewan, and the
mountain passes Of Alberta and Brit
ish Columbia was then considered by
some of the best engineers to be physi-
cally impossible. Yet today one great
continental railway is under success
full operation, another Is nearing COM
pletion. and a third is under construc-
ton.
A few years ago no one would have
thought of motoring through Canada
from ocean to ocean as among the pos
sibilities Of the near future, but to-
day automobiles are running almost
the entire length Of the new Canadian
transcontinental highway, and only a
few more links Of the chain are needed
to permit the motorist to make the
trip in safety and comfort. From Hall
fax to Sudbury, from Winnipeg to the
Great Divide, the trail Is nearly fin
ished, and the more difficult roads
through the mountains Of British CO.
lunbia are rapidly nearing completion.
A third Is under construction.
When completed this will furnish
one of the longest and one Of the most
beautiful and picturesque automobile
