THE

VRIDE OF BRITISH,

rhe most eloguent tribute tothe great Ju e review of the pavy in June was uv M. Melchior, Vicomte de Vogue,

In

writte) and published in the Paris Figaro. part M. de Vogue said :

The luvineible Armada would doubtless appear a mere toy alongside these ninety- three giants ranged in three long lines, motiouiess under their heavy armor, cove ed by a curtain of seventy-three despatch or torpedo boats. Behind them lay the line of foreign warships, which seemed like a deputauon of tributaries. The swarm of craft filled with spectators, from tie enormous Cunard liner tw the little sailing cutter, they move with the same confidence as busy pedestrians in the crowded London street. The sea is their home, tbe familiar room in which they would waik blindfold, the obedient mater ja) which they handle with ease. Oae eommon sentiment animates al) these men as even the most obtuse spectator can divine. Beyond the visible lines which our vision takes in, the Englishman dis- eervs their invisible prolongations, the ghain of similar rings which encircles the ‘globe. For these humetous vessels are only the children remaining at home. Of the.r brethren, scattered over every oceau, not one bas stirred. To-day, as yesterday, they are keeping Watch at their posts in Asia, Africa, Uce- ania, the trusty watchdogs of England, ready to bite anywhere at an order from the Mother Country. That order English thought can transmitina moment. It runs ai the bottom of the seacn English cables. Above and beneath the ocean the two ne. works ot iron, that which orders and that which executes, are well riveted around the planet. The world is fast held in the double net of the Saxun fisherman, a world, ap empire in comparison with which we Roman Empire was but a litie

state. You will, doubtless,correct me, “Not Rome, but Carthage.” Yes, of course, Carthage in certain respects, by the predominance of material

interests, by the ardent thirst for lucre. But let us be fair, Rome as well, Rome by will, courage, the intellectual force of geniu:, the duration and nobility of tradi- tions.

Price—the word is ever coming from but assuredly not as a reproach.

THY peo, This is the sentiment which today pours out from their souls, which is rend in tbeir countenance, which is

audible im all their words. And we deem it leg:timate, this national pride. It comes frou, successes obtained by the tenacious

efloris of beloved ancestore, by the sucr.tices of the present generation, by firm intention of persever- ing zt e!icost. Let us not grudge this nobie people norher that rulesit our ribut: .f admiration and respect.

days ago. He expressed his pleasure on the a 1 of Great Britain 1m notifying Germany and Belgium that at the end of |

—The Colonist, of Victoria, contends that the region from the Columbia River on the south tothe Yukon on the north is the richest on earth from every point of view in which it can be regarded, and of this vast area of 750,000 equare miles Canada owns two-thirds, and by far the more valuable share proportionately. We not only own by far the largest, but by far the richest part of this matchless domain. When the Hon. Mr. Blair said last fall: “The hope of Canada is in British Colum-

HE NEVER MISSED A CHANCE TO BOOM GOODS HE SOLD.

Hie Was In the Firearms Business In Texas and Made His Revolvers Talk For Them- selves—-His Last “Card” Written on a Btone With His Own Blood.

**To me,’’ remarked a man of more or less brokerly appearance in manner and cut of clothes, ‘‘the advertising methods resorted to by business men all over the country are astonishing in their intelli- gence, stupidity, ingenuity and conmon- placeness. I mean by that that while some of them seem to be satisfied with the money returns of the oldest chestnuts in the newspapers, there are others who are advertising Columbuses, never satisfied unless discovering something now in the promotion of the publicity of the wares they have to sell.’’

‘“‘Which reminds me,’’ said a man who looked like a New England Yankee onco removed, ‘‘that I have becn interested in advertising for many years, and that I have circumnavigated the United States several times, advertising various things, from baking powder t In these trips I have observed some things quite well worth the remembering, but certainly the most unusual bit of adver- tising I ever heard of came under my ra- tice during a trip I made through north- western Texas.

‘‘In a trip made there some three years previously I had met a local character whom they called Colt Thompson, and after a talk with him at the hotel supper table, for he bearded at hctel in the town, I found that he had came from my native town in Massachusetts, and that we had known each other as bers there, 40 years before, when neither of us was more than 10 years old. ‘Though Thompson was a pretty hard citizen and had a record only a few eastern men would be proud of, he was a good werker, and as the agent of an arms manufacturing com- pany in the east, with a territory com- prising several counties, he manuged to live well and wear good clothes. Of course he gambled betweer times anc did odd jobs of various kinds, but the profits in those lines were simply used for spend- ing money. He had shot several men and was accustomed to remark that he hind to do it now and then in his business toshow the merits of the goods he handled, and he always said that he weuld rather be horse- whipped than shoot a man with any cther gun than that made by his firm, a loyalty that added much to his popularity and was a first class advertisement for his weapons.

'*Which reminds me that Thompson was the most enthusiastic advertiser I ever saw, and he never let an opportunity ecscaps that he could use for this purpose. I saw him shoot a runaway horse one afternoon on the main street, and when the owner complained Thompson paid for the ani- mal and had a half cNumn article in all the newspapers on his guns as runaway preventives. Another time about mid- night he discovered a fireina store cna side street, and, instead of turning in an alarm by the usual shouting, he began to shoot his gun as fastas he could. The noise soon had the crowd out, and the pa- pers next day told all about Thompson’s guns as the best fire alarins in use. On another occasion he offered the preacher who was going to preach a shot man’s funeral $50 to help out the salary fund if he would say thet the deceased had surely gone to heaven because he had bcen shot with one of Thompson’s guns.

‘‘But Iam digressing. His greatest ad- vertising idea wef his last one, to which I am slowly but surely coming. When I found I was going to bein YThompscn’s neighborhood again, I was pleased, for I had found him interesting, and he had in- sisted when we parted that if I ever came that way again I must besure and give him a chance to make it pleasant for ime. I had not heard from him in the mean- time, and when I gotto his town and asked at his old stupning place where he was Iwas greatly pained, but not greatly surprised, to learn that he had died six months previcusly. t was not recessary for me to ask if he had died suddenly, and I did not ask the question in that form, but I did ask what row wis abont, and as the result of my inquiries I found that my friend Thompson had been calied upon to act as a deputy sheriff in the ar- rest of a couple of very bsud men from the mountains who had heen ‘shecting the town up.’

Thompson, but he did not give guarantces against dis- order with his goods, and he wasas glad to arrest these men as he would have been

to do any other hazardous _ service. Thompson became separated from the } sheriff and posse about noon, and no more was seen of him until about 5 o'clock in

the afterncen, wher he was discovered by the sheriff lying dead beside a big white bowlder, and not 50 feet away, stretched fiat on their backs, were the two ‘toughs,’ quite as derd as Thompson. In the hands of each of the three were revolvers and it was plain that the men had died game, though apparently the end was more sud- den for the others than for ‘Thompson. This was proved by the fact that just above him on the white surface of the stone he had scrawled in as big letters as he could reach, and with his finger dipped in his own could have happened when all three had Thompsons? Call on my successor before purchasing elsewhere,’

“That evening after supper I went to the town cemetery to visit the zrave of my schoolmate, and on a plain white stone at his head was this brief inscription, placed there by his friends:

“COLT THOMPSON. He Was «a Good Man Massechusetis Sent Him t and Texas Sent Him to }

“The only bad feature of this thing |

of addressing the school children,’ said {olonel James A. Sexton, the former postmaster, ‘‘is the fact that they al wavs want me to wear my regimentals, {t's a thing I haven’t the courage to do except when I’m among # uniformed body of men.

‘*My aversion to wearing a uniform ybout in public dates from my boyhood Upon that aversion is based an

early incident that may have had a good deal to do with the course of my

subsequent life.

‘T enlisted as a private at the outbreak of the war, being then a boy of 17; rathcr mature locking, however, for those years. Like all boys of that age, Iwas of a romantic turn, bug exceed- ingly bashful in the presence of women, The one woman in whose presence I was especially shy was a dear girl whom I used to see home from prayer meeting.

**No parting in all that time of part- ing was more affecting than was ours when my regiment started for the front. When, a year later, I was sent back to Chicago to recover from a wound in the jaw, I found myself as dear to her as ever, and she as dear to me, it goes without saying. I was in the hospital at Camp Douglas. My wound healed rapidly. I was allowed to go about the city very much as [ chose, and prayer meetings, With their escort privileges, claimed a great part of my attention.

‘“‘About that time the Y. M. C. A. was organizing a regiment, to be com- posed exclusively of men who professed religion. The scheme naturally attract- ed a great dealof attention. The papers were full of it. I was selected to cap- tain one of the new regiment’s compa- nies. Protest against the selection was made on account of my age—then just 18. The matter was carried up to the adjutant general of the state, who final- ly decided in my favor. My age, the singular character of the case and the popularity of the regiment caused such an amount of uewspaper gossip that it seemed as thongh everybody must have heard of the matter at least. All this time I never wore my uniform outside cf camp. The dear gir}, therefore, nev- er saw me except in citizen’s clothes.

** ‘It’s an outrage,’ she said just after we met a very youthful looking man in captain’s uniform on one of our walks, ‘that such young men are trusted with the responsibilities of command. I don’t know what the country is coming to.’

‘‘For a moment I was overcome by the shock. When I recovered my breath, [ told her that youth did not necessarily debar a man from possession of the qualities of a commander. She declined to be convinced, and the conversation became decidedly chilly. Instead of making my customary call when we reached her house, I stopped at the front gute.

‘* ‘Laura,’ I enid, ‘I must tell you goodby. My regiment has orders to leave for the front tomorrow. It may be that we never shall see each other again.’

‘But we did. All fashionable Chicago came to Camp Douglas the next day to see the fimal dress parade of the much talked of Y. M. ©. A. regiment, and I could see the dear girl among the crowd. My new captain’s uniform gave me a good decal cf satisfaction jnst at that time, I can tell you. The colonel of the resiinent had asked me, cn of the power of my vceice, to act as edja-

Meantime I marched a few paces be- hind him, turned squarely and took po- sition almost within arm’s iength of the dear girl.

At that juncture I took command of my company and went with it aboard an Illinois Central train. Between the dear girl and myself there passed no word,

‘“‘A few months passed and I received a slight wound. The circumstance was mentioned in the Chicago papers. Then, fer the first time after my departure from Chicago, the dear girl wrote me a letter.
