Great Engineering Feat

The construction of 600 miles of the
Canadian Pacific railway through the
Rocky mountains in British Columbia
constituted an exceedingly difficult en-.
cheering feat. The syndicate build
ing the road actually constructed the
line from Montreal to Calgary, 100
miles from the mountains, before an
available route through the ranges
was discovered. The men who over.
came the multitudinous engineering
problems of those 900 miles of noun
tain construction erected a monument
to themselves for all time. Before the
work was started, the syndicate was
granted terms considered over-gener-
Gus by political opponents of the gov
eminent and there was much opposi-
ton to the project. One statesman
predicted that the road never would
earn enough to pay for axle grease

TUo Counties Honored

Virginia Is known as the mother OF
Presidents because eight Presidents of
the United States were born within
her borders, says the Pathfinder Mag
azine. Washington, Jefferson. Madi-
son, Monroe, William 81. Harrison, Ty-
Ter, Taylor and Wilson first saw the
light Of the day in the Old Dominion.
Two counties had the honor Of giving
birth to four of these distinguished
men. Washington and Monroe were
born in Westmoreland and Harrison
and Tyler, born in the same county,
1t is an interesting fact that Harrison
and Tyler, born in the same county
were elected President and vice-presi-
dent, respectively, at the same time.
So it. happened that when Harrison
died a month after taking oath Of
office he was succeeded by man born
In the same county.

judgment of Writers

I wish to give you a hint about
reading. All the great writers should
be approached with certain rever-
ence. That is, you should say. There
is something great about them, wheth-
er see it or not; must try to see
what it is" If you do not see it, try
again. You may ultimately fail. Few
people are so large-minded as to ad-
mire all that is admirable, and sham
admiration Is dishonest. But in that
case, blame yourself for the failure,
and turn all the more earnestly to
study what you do admire-what you
do see the beauty of. When you read
criticisms ask yourself, "Do l agree
with this?" and, If not, find out your
reasons. 1 want you so much to think
for yourself-to be not presumptuous
but Independent in your judgment.
And l should like you to fall in love
with some great writer. That is the
true liberal education.-Sir William
Robertson Nicnll

Moore's Famous Poem
Sold Before Written

The full quotation runs: THE trail
of the serpent is over them ALL" and
means, "They are all tarred with the
same brush" or "They are birds of
feather" The line is from Tom
Moore's poem, "Lalla Rookh."
''Lalla Rookh" is little read today,
Moore's fame resting solidly and last
ingly on his Irish Melodies" But
Moore was immensely popular in his
lifetime, and got a substantial sum
for every song he wrote.
Mr.. Stephen Gwynne, in his Life
Of Moore tells us that John Murray
offered two thousand guineas ($10,-
5OO) for the copyright of "Lalla
Rookh" before it was written. Moore's
friends thought he should have more,
and, going to Longman, the rival pub
fishing house, they claimed Mr.. Moore
should receive the highest price ever
paid for poem.
"That," said Longman, twas $4,000
5000 paid to Scott for 'Rokeby.'"
Longman was inclined to stipulate for
preliminary perusal. Moore, how
ever, refused, and the agreement was
finally worded: "That upon giving
into our hands a poem of the length
of 'Rokeby' you shall receive from
US a sum Of $4,000" 1t Is probable
that the publisher did not regret his
bargain, for the poem had q tremen-
dOus sale.
