(TO be continued.) HINGED 1.111,001) Duncan J. D. Campbell Was Me- . Leod's First Sheriff. Atuong the. quite dietinguishe'cl old-timers in the Ca,naelian West, Duncan J. D'I.Trban Campbell, late sheriff of Macleod Judicial Distriet, occupies a prominent place. Born at St. Hilaire, Quebec, on July 163 1855, young Campbell was educated at his home schools and at Bishop's College, a Lennoxville. He entered the Bank of Montreal in 1874 and resigned in 1882. When the Regina, settlers came West to colonize a neiv land, he w.a.s with them, but shortly afterwards came on to Macleod at:the invitation of Lieut . -Col.' Irvine, commissioner of Mounted Police. He was under' contract to supply 'beef to the In- dians on the western reserve till the Canadian Pacific Railwtay reached Gleiehen. During that time he also supplied the raillwa,y dining service as far as Morley, Alta. • He was appointed one of th.ei five deputy sheriffs of the territories in 1883, and was, also at this time ap- pointed postmaster at 1VIaelood. He occupied -the position of deputy Sherif' 13:. J. itidmpbell.: sheriffuntil April, 1897, when the Supreme Court was organized in Alberta, and he 1V114 made sheriff of the South Alberta judicial dis- trict, which position he held till the organization of 'the Province, when he was appointed sheriff of Macleod Judicial. District. Mr. Campbell had one of the largest judicial Otis-. tricts in Western Canada, requiring six bailiffs. He IS uperintendeci the banging of Oharcoal, ,the only Blood Indian tbat ever paid the death penalty, at 1VIae1eod. This desperado 'mur- dered an Indian on his own reserve and then shot a. Mounted Police, Sergea.nt Wilde, in the disehar,ge of his duties on patrol. Mr. Campbell also made arrangements for the hanging of a, Chinaman and a Gali- cian at Maeleod. In the early days the territoxies had no penite-ntiery, and for years alter the OrganizatiOn of the Pro- vince there was no pla,Ce to incar- cerate prisoners serving long terms, Sheriff Campbell has taken many a horse thief to Steney Mountain, Manitoba. Among the noted In- dians he escorted to the "Pen " was Nez Perces Sam, a redskin des- pexado, over whom Winnipeg peo- ple got so excited, Sheriff Campbell has been in con- tintions iservioe as sheriff for more them 30 yeaes, His successor in of foo is A. B, 1VIeDonald, late Super- intcrdent of Banff National Park. Mr. McDonald was the defeated candidate for Federal representa- tion against John Ilerron,, in 1896. In .the secial life of Ms' home town, Macleod, Mr. Campbell has always taken a prominent part. IIis office as sheriff excluded him from. accepting many Pa.rlia,rnent.ary honors that:were offered him. He has been a, keen advocate of all that goes to help a tewn edueationally, and in civip affteire ile hoe been 04, 'aye and prominent, Although appointed to officio bY a Conservative Administration, Mr. Campbell has never taken anY pa,rt 10 polities ainee his appointment, and. has just as many and a$ warm friends among the. Liberate as among the Conservatives. He has been longer in ,o4ce than any other eheriff in the Province of Alberta, iind has eeen many governments OPMe nd P. •Aisipr, THEnv-owN vowel. Of Malty Plants and Animels One of Marvels of Nature. Among the most remarkable of all natture''s.Phenoinen,a is the marvel- lous light -giving power of many of our common plants and animals. Under certain conditions nastu.r- Limns, sunflowers, dahlias tube- roses and yellow lilies may !he seen to glow with a soft radiance, vary- ing in color and intensity. Only those flowers that have an abun- dance of yellow or orange shades exhibit this phosphorescence, The best time to see the light is after dark, when the atmosphere is clear and dry. The light is sometimes steady, but often intermittent and, flashing. Oftenin the early fall the ground • will be illinninated by the glow from the dead leaves. The Australian piappy is the most remarkable of all the luminous plants, for it has been found to send out a light of its own of quite notable brilliancy. Mushrooms growing on decayed wood often have a. degree of bril- liancy that, when they are plaeed on a newspaper, -will enable one to read. the words in their vicinity with tie other light. One species of mushroom in Australia, 16 inches in diameter, was of such brilliancy that, seen from a distance, its light frightened the natives. More interesting than the lumil nous plants are the luminous ani- mals. The Pecific eoast, famous for its many eurious specimens of pla,nt and Will/lel life, is the home of many of them. Of all these the Ascidians are most noteworthy. One of them, the Py- rosamae was seen first as a, blaze as big as a bucket. When captured it was found to be a font long aaa open at one end, at which there wa,s a faint light. When touched the light at once blazed forth into a vivid silver phosphorescence. One of the animals kept in a dark room furnished enough light for the read- ing, of inediumeaized print. The Creatures are of almost inde- scribable beauty, and by their radiance when 'Moving about under water near -by fieh can be eliacernecl. Bib a, the British neturalist, uti- lized the atimali for light, and a half-dozen f them at one side of ,a small roOm would furnish sufficient light for- the reading of a news- paper at the other side. Crabs are notable light -givers, and the Sa,lpa,, of California, is the most wonderful of'all. Bodies of water 20 miles square have been seen glowing with them, and in the Sante Catalina, Channel one natur- alist reported that as far as the eye could see the creatures lay gleam- ing like, „n•eans in the sunlight. Many luminous frogs have been discovered from time. to time, and any frog may be made luminous by inoculating it with certain bacteria whieh produce this.phenomenon. Many theories have been brought forward to explain the phenomenon of luminosity, but as yet very little is known a.bout it. In many in- stances, such as the eases of dead leaves or decayed wood, luminosity is evidently due to fungus growth, but in other cases, where no growth can be seen, .the riddle re- mains unsolved, along with many other marvels of nature. POLITICAL REPARTEE. Disraeli AArtirded. the Palm for Re- partee by Mr. Gladstone. In a recent article on the, humors of British electiins Mr. Brian Phil- lips d,ecla,res that Mr. Gladaone al- ways awarded the palm for political repartee to his great opponent, Dis- ra,eli, because of a retort he made to an unfriendly crowd quite ea,rly in his career.

The audienee was 10 - lined to regard the brilliantyoung Jew as an alien and an upstart. ‘`We know all about Colonel Grey," some one shouted, "but, pray, what do you stand on?" "I stand on my heed," was the instantaneous rePlY, If there hag been nothing in re- cent years to match this famous flash of wit, there haveyet been Some extellent 'answers, in which the heckled ' nalidate has got the best of the heckler. When the ship -owning million- aire, Sir Donald Currie, was asked at Greenwich if his father had not been the local barber, he admitted promptly ; • "It is true --and if your fether had been a barber, yett would have been the same."

The heckler unwisely inquired if he remembered that his grandfather used to drive a donkey -and cart. "You will have to forgive me, ladies and gentlemen," Mr. Lloyd - George apologized, "the ear t had quite escaped my memory, but I see the donkey is living yet." A parallel case in which the young aristocratoproved as able as the self-made man to hold his own when jeered at, was that ad • Viscount Lewisham, a protectionist, or, as the English say, "tariff reform" candidate, who was suspected of a lack of sympathy for the poor, be- cause of his too fortunate birth. "Val!" cried a ragged listener, as he began to epeak. "You wants to tax our food!" "Be calm, my good man," the viscount reassured hire. "We don't intend to tax thistles." A temperance orator, speaking auring the same campaign, was so frequently interrupted by a rowdy in the crowd that the rest, even those who had been at first hostile, turned against the offender, and there were lusty shouts of "Turn him out !" "No, don't turn him out,"- sug- gested the speaker, mildly. "Turn hien upside down, and let the beer run out of him." The suggestion, although it was not literally .comelied with, met the uproarious fav.or of the audience, which remained wholly friendly to the orator to .the end of his address.
