The effeet of the recent judgment . in
the case of the Miehigan lumbermen
stgainst the On torio Government is an
object lesson for Canadians. It is stat-
ed that arrangements are already be-
ing made to move many of the'31ichi-
e
aau mins to Ontario. If the limited
regulation of the Ontario Government
has this effect it is easy to imagine the
the. result of a Dominion Order -in -
Council imposing export duties amon

strongly on Sunday in favor of the
English side of the Transvaal contro-
versy. Among other things he said:
"I believe, friends, that a disaster to
England would be the greatest calam-
ity that could be conceived next to the
destruction of our town republics I
believe, if worst .comes to the worst„
and there was a war between Russia
and England in the east for the two
world ideals which they represent.
American would owe it as the higheet
duty to God to place every ship, every
gun, every dollar she possessed at the
hack of England." Every person in
the congregation applauded.

DECIDED IN ntvE =turns. -
As one of them said last night, it
did not take much more than five
minutes for the. Cabinet to decide that
Hon. F. W. Borden should inamediatet
ly instruct his officers at the Militia
Department to go on with theprepara-
dons for sending the second contin-
gent, Hon, Dr, Bordon has had. most
of the details ready for a month and
more:. From advices which he receiv-
ed from England, the Minister of
IiIitia early came to the conclusion
that if a second contingent of Canad-
ians should be found, necessary the
Dominion's most valuable contrilintiou
would be in the form of cavalry or
mounted infantry and artillery. Dr,
Borden has in his possession at the
present moment a. Complete plan for
the organization of a division of this
kind.
• COWBOY RECRUITS, .
Before 48 hours are past Dr. Borden
will have put another projeet into
effect. Steps will be taken towards
recruiting 200 prairie cowboys men
who •can ride and shoot as well as any
cavalvymen in the world and who are
used to getting along on rations of the
scantiest. Many of these denizens of
the prairies are eowboys only in name.
Hundreds of them have served in the.
Mounted Police and have gone into
ranching, either on their own account,
or working for somebody else. They
will jump at the chance of active ser-
vice, and, which will be an imexceed-
ingly valuable paint, will be able to
furnish their own horses. animals ad-
ndrably teained and hardened to the
saute privations that have been and
will be successfully withstood' by their
masters. The reerniting is thte'North-
west will be carried on at several
points, probably Regina, Calgary,
Pineher Creek, Edmonton and Prince
Albert. The Mounted police who des:
sire to enlist will be given their dis-
charge on application, and the cow-
boys or rantlaers will be enlieted at
the same time. The following official
statement was handed out last night.
"The Imperial Government have at
length eabled their acceptance of the
offer of the Canadian Government,
made on the 7th November last, of a
second contingent."
"A Cabinet Council was- held this
morning, and instruetious given the
Department to prepare this
second contingent to go forward at
the earliest possible moment. A cable
to this effect has been sent to tbe War
Office."

Fill all mine heart and se nine ears.

Tears, yes; a joy, for in .thent hes

Do ye not hear them,. list egoist,
I see von hear, love lights your brow,
And love in tbooght brings them so

Ah yes, I knew you to would bear
Their tones, their tale of love to thee,.
Of gifts, His gifts, to you and me.
Then from thy store give thou as He
His Holy life, loves mystery,
Give thou of all thy plentitude, •
Give to the hungry, give them food; .
And for the naked clothing find,
For is this not the Master's mind,
And to the sorrowing sympathy.
Their gratitude thy sympathy,
To the despairing some sweet care,
It may be you will meet Him there.
And to thine own some rare sweet joy,
It shall be thine without alloy.
Poor from thy well, pour recklessly, -
His love shall be a spring to thee,.
And down through all thy future years
Shall guard, thee well, andwipe the

That else might fall in sotrowts hour
When clouds of darkness round thee

Aladin His care isnot tall well:
List, list ye to the •Christmas Bell,
The hells hear ye their distance near,
Chiming so softly His sweet cheer.

would say, "fiends off:" to any power on
tee globe. would not Interfere between

see to It that 5Lngland had u tree hand
and no interference.
