‘A liow lloii llo You i ilnow Your Island * I! Uncle I00 The first inhabitants of which Onything is known were Souir-quois Ifndians. Their descendants, the Jdiomacs, are now wards of the Government. living on a reservation at Lennox Island. Their chief and council, chosen by themselvh, con- tinue to indicate their constitu- tional aspirations. The small tribe has made pro- gress in education, religion and the pursuits of agriculture and fish- ing; but love of wandering among the wide open spaces lures not a small number to become trappers, their trap lines often extending for miles across country. The Benevolent Irish Society of Prince Edward Island had its birth at 'the Wellington Hotel in Char- lottetown on Monday, the 18th day of April, 1825. This society has an ‘unbroken history extending back to that time. Prince Edward Island got its pre- sent name in 1799. We are one of the smallest self-governing Prov- inces in the British Empire. the smaller ones being Jersey, Guern- sey and‘ the Isle of Man. Each has a Lieutenant-Governor and a Legis- lature. _, .' O O The history of Freemasonry in this Island dates back to 1797, when the Island bore the name "Island of St. John." In that year mem- bers of the Society living in Char- lottetown applied to the provin- cial Grand Master of Nova Scntia for a warrant of constitution, The "warrant was issued at Halifax the 9th day of October, 1797, and was signed by Richard Bulkley, Grand Master. and associate officers. The first lodge meeting was held It the house of Alexander Rich- ardson, Charlottetown. Ebenezer Nicholson was appointed Worship- Iul Master; Will Hillman, Senior ‘Warden; and Robert Lee, Junior Warden. Among its first members were such distinguished names as -Lieutenant-Governor Fanning, Tho- mas DesBrlsay and Alexander Rich- ardaon. The Masons had the honor nf lay- ing the corner stone of the old Queen's County jail and the Pro- yinclai building. Great shale beds suitable for road building exist near Pownal, ‘ Orwell, Nine Mile Creek, Tea Hill, Belfast and at East Point, while a more pebbly materiak-probably of ‘drift origin—may be found near North Cape, Alberton and Cardigan. O O O ‘ How many of us know that a fos- sil, in the shape of a large carni- worous reptile, was discovered many years ago at New London? This fos- iil was purchased by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

ELM!»- Larm in the Legislature balding Blriday night: was a fitting climax to the most brilliant social season held in Fredericton in many years. Rep- resentsrtivcs in provincial life as well as hundreds of Irederlcton citizens gathered in the legislative building. The ground ‘floor was thronged with dancers and the balcony was filled to capacity with interested spectators. The Lieut- Governor received his guests with Mrs. Macilaren and the prtmier of the province, Hon. J. B. McNair. Attending the governor were his aides, Lia-Commander F. K. Fowler; Lt.-C0l. Philip W. Oland; Flyins Officer Gordon M. Manning and Major William A. Schofleld. Pres- ent also were Mars. Fowler. Mrs. Oiand. Mrs. Manning and Nlirs. Schofleld. Major '1‘. C. Barker, A. D.

These are one of our natural wonders, proving quite an attraction for tourists. At l-log Island in Bedeque Bay may be seen traces of volcanic rock which was spewed from the bowels of the earth centuries ago in a molten state. And believe it or not, iron ore, manganese and copper exist at Gailas Point and St. Peter's Island. lt is just possible that valuable na- tural resources yet remain to be tapped right under our feet. The record for longevity in this Province was that of Mrs. Donald Graham, who, at the time of her death, lacked but fourteen days of being one hundred and eleven years old. There can be little doubt as to the cor ectness of the chronology in this case. as the baptism of the wo- man in her childhood is recorded In church records. The first newspaper published here was the Royal American Gar.- ette and Intelligencer. The publish- er was James Robertson.

But now day by day ever-changing and widening scenes, many of them incidental to his school-life, enter largely into his living.

POLKA DOT SHOES An American shoe company that that puzzles his elders. "lf smelts spawn in Spring, why do trout lay their eggs in Fall?" And "Why does the male Woodpecker wear a red cap?" We chuckled ovclr the answer to that one while the bird eyed us this morning from the top of a telephone pole in the lane, an ancient weathered one along which he had been tapping. We were on our way then, sauntering, since we found so many items en route to view and discuss, to a spell of fish- ing down at the stream. There were three of us—and the "yaller" pup. Jamie carried the__ tin of worms preserved in a handful of earth since Friday and the pair of rods, and grand-daughter, obvious- 1y well pleased with the privilege of shadowing him, carried a small basket for any takings. It was a great moment for all of us—at long last our trouting day was at hand. We chose a sunny sheltered haunt and Jamie cast. the first line. O O It was an ideal morning for ang- ling. Jock our best angler assured us of this, with wistful tones as he went out on his way to the other farm-regret that in the fascina- tion of wind and ripple, that grist must be taken to the mill, stables must,bc cleaned, a creep built for aniearly litter of piglets, and a farrowing rail installed in a pen for “that there one." “Wouldn't you like to stay with us?" I called. "Sure, I would," he replied, "but business is too pressing today! But you should have lots of luck. if they haven't all gone out in the freshets!" a ‘ o a _ Jamie had cast. nicely. There was a moment of intense concentration and silence: the float bobbed in the sunlit ripple - - - danced and dis- appeared - - - and then with a mighty draw, what did Jamie land? Certainly. A first trout of the sea- son! And so, forgetful of every care, enjoying much the rare priv- ilege given us by the day that was hero, we continued our angling. Good fortune attended our hooks. though Jamie had an idea that some favorable opportunities were lost to me. Once he commented: "I don't think that you've fished many timea—you leave them, to nibble too long, and ,they, get away!" "But how am I to know just when to haul the line?" I inquired. "I can't tell you how, but," he nodded, "there's a certain time. and when it comes you don't have to be told—you just know it your- self!" O O O Her role it was when she found the fishing-rod too heavy to hold. to admire our takings, and on o0 caaion to fetch the tin of bait for the angler. We liad birdsong for music and the squirrel in the old hemlock in thewoodland near-by to make conversation for us. - - - but dear me, how sleepy we find‘ ourselfi O O O ns/Lilfifflqlilpre .
