Every- one 'did ample justice Co a very sump- tuous repast. Following the banquet an excellent paogram consisting of music, readings and addresses were given. Rev. H. V. Snell, M.A., of Wingliam, who has Conducted the lectures in English and Mathematics, filled the position of toastmaster in a very able and entertaining manner. Among the guests present ,for the oee casion wore Messrs. N. W. Trawartha M.P.P.; Prof, Wade Toole, B,S,A., of the 0.A..0.,- Guelph; Reeve ,.Wat, and Mrs, Coates, of 11Sborne; Reeve' W. D.

The .toa-St to siAgricalture" was proPosed by S. B. Stothers, 'Agri. Representative and in responding to this toast Trot Wade Toole of the 0.A.C., Guelph,*ga.ve the address of tit evening.. He said that he was not flattering when he said that the young people who had taken part in the program, had thine ;just a little better than most do • when called on to take a aiMilaa part'. His address was "The Challange et, the Farm-" past, preseat and future. To- day it is good. business to keep our feet (Al she grown -let eloelnany are op- posed to goydranienis" and want changes and don't know 'what they want.

Does _the chalet lenge to life in the open have any at- traction? or would you prefer life in an office shut up inside four walls. The sad thing as we have to try beth to know. It is better to be engaged' ,an occupation that is a help to humanity even though you do not grow rich, than grow rich living off the people.. A boy should be prond of strength •to work and a girl of the things she can do. If we are not happy at our work we can never be happy. Wealth will not make you happy.

Right—The otriking feature of Sinned) art is found in their grotesquely tarred and painted totem poles. Inset—A typical infant Siwash. r 'HE Indians of coastal British Columbia are un - like, any other Indians of North' America. The name "Siwash", by which they are commonly dis- tinguished from the .,olains Indians, is a corruption of the French word usauvage", which the early ex- plorers naturally applied to them. It ia not a native name. They do not look at ell like the plains In- dians but like Orientals and, though their history is so obsctre that it is impossible to trace their origin, this seems to prove beyond cloul3t that they are sprung froni some such stock, most probably the Jap- anese. It is a,fact that if a Siwash and a Japanese are dressed alike, one can hardly tell them apart How these people crossed the Pacific is a ,rnys- tory. Perhaps they are the survivors of some hap- . • less armada blown across the ocean in some bygone age. Perhaps they deliberately sailed across, like Columbuses of the East. Perhaps they crossed by the ice of the Boring Straits Anyhow, there they Thera ale ;many other poials of resemblance be- tween the Siwash and the Oriental. Like the primi- tive Japanese, the Siwaelies live by hunting and fish- ing and are inuob on the water --in fact, their canoes are to them what the horse wee to the Sioux. Like the primitive Japanese, again, and unlike the plains Indians, they do not, live in tents but in houses, Which, mbreover, are of very similar architecture to these of the Flowery Kingdom, though built of wood. And, like the Japenose, they are a very poetic people, with o ehrolific and bearitiful folk -lore. ' P,ut the most remarkable dietinction enjoyed by the Siwashes is their art, whieh dcics not resemble that of any other race --certainly not that of any other American Indians, Of title, conventional real - Zino seunds the key-tiote. Their buildings are richly and fantastically carved. Their ceremonial drosses aro equally elaborete, They delight in bold effects and bright colors, especially in red, blue and green, used in conjunction with black and white. ' The striking feature of Siwash art is found ira their grotesquely carved and painted totem poles, --- which are placed before the houses. These polos,, made to represent a column of diabolical birds and beasts standing one above the other, form what is literally a family tree, the various totems telling the story of the ancestry of the people living in the house behind them. The Siwashes also manufacture weird images resembling the idols of African tribes, which are intended to exercise various supernatural powers, such as the 'driving away of evil spirits. The Siwashes of 'past times were, in some in- stances, a war -like lot, fond of fighting and blood- shed. Occasionally, if tradition speaks truth, they put their decorative ability to sinister use. ,There is a story, well vouched for' of a festive meeting be- tween two tribes which had called a truce in their otherwise perpetual fend. One taihe invited the otheri- to a friendly banquet in the community dining -hall. The architect, after the fashion of natives, who glory', hi complicating simple things, had so designed the! hall that the only entrance was through the beak of an enormous wooden bird forming' the fascade. No' one oetside cold see or hear what was going on: within the walls. Every one Who entered had to clo' so alone and head first, In turn, the"glicsts scrambled' into the beak and vanished, until all had entered.] None of them ever car/1e out, Their treacherouN hosts within, aruied with Clubs, gave each man his quietus as soon aS his hoed appeared. .A.n extremely clever wny of getting rid ot. objec- tioilablo folk with the least poseible inconven'tenee, tbongt not one which appeals to Chrkflian men!
