THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle. horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
of looking upon their work, and Its
results with pardonable pride. If they
reminiscence, and tell of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo or
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous Of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many Of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out Of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
Of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result OF
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? It was probably some Of this
feeling Of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
Il am not in the habit of giving adj
vice, but have no hesitation of advis-
ing the young men Of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get a piece
Of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
ut was SO years ago when first
came to Winnipeg" he said "At that
time there were less than 100000
people west Of Lake Huron In Canada,
and the only bit of railway in opera
ton was between ST. Boniface and En-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles Of railway in
actual operation and the population Is
over two and quarter million, Won
derful achievement in such short Pc
riod you will agree, when you have
contemplated it a moment"
"At that time all the -four. meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to-
day. You have a grain production ex-
ceeding billion bushels and yet only
a comparatively small area Of the till
able land of the country is occupied.
Five years hence you will be more
than doubling that" -Advertisemen

A snarl was the answer.
"And as for you, Johnson, you'll get

HARD TO ESTIMATE CROWD
Few Civilians Are Able to Give Num-
bers Of a Gathering-Army Of
ficers Tell Secret.

It is remarkable how the average
civilian overestimates the number or
persons in big procession. Take, for
example, the recent demonstration In
London. 1t was said that there were
$4,000 men in line and some enthusi-
asts put it even at 10000. But 1t is
easy to estimate such numbers approx
imately, says London Tit-Bits. Here
is the rule as laid down in the Field
Service Regulations" Of the United
States army:
1.-The strength of a body of troops
may be estimated from the length of
time it takes to pass a given point. AS
Stunning that infantry in column OF
fours occupies half yard per man.
cavalry ore yard per trooper and ar
tillery in single 'olumn per gun or
caisson, a given point would be passed
in one minute ',y about 175 Infantry,
ITO cavalry at walk, 200 cavalry at a
trot and five guns or caissons."
Allowing for spacing between COM
panies, battalion and regiments. all
of which is according to mathematical
rule, it takes regiment of 1000 I,en
divided into battalions just ten min
utes to pass, or at the rate of 5000 an
hour. And this supposes no breaks
in the line.
These rules. 1t must be remembered.
are for trained soldiers used to long
step and to keeping up without strag-
Cling. No civilians, even militant suf-
fragettes. ever kept or could keep up
this pace.

his chief, hardly waiting to knock.
Mary Thomas, she done daid, sab"
he exclaimed.

The next day slow, sad knock
sounded at the door of the treasurer's
office, and Casey disconsolately walked
In.
"She done come ter life, sah,' he
said shortly.
"Who has come to life, Casey? What
are you talking about?"
