Politics called him. He stood for

MENTALLY VIGOROUS.,
From 189o. to the present, a period
of eighteen years, he did honor to
Canada in the post and despite his
advance,d years showed no sign of los-
ing the keen edge of those faculties
which made him great, Physically,
however, he had been gradually de-
clining of late years and the recent
death of his wife, whom be married
in his early pioneer days in the west,
and to whom he was devotedly at-
tached, undoubtedly hastened hia
end. Lady Stratheona was the daugh-
ter of Richard Hardisty, one of the
early traders of Western Canada, and
though much fonder of home than
public life was generally beloved,
having been a true helpmate in the
widespread, philanthropies of Lord'
Stratheona, One daughter, Margaret
Charlotte, the wife of H. .7. Bliss

Another instance of the late bar-
enS courage was displayed when the
construction of the Canadian Pacific
Railway was in progrees, At a time
when Stratheona, Mouuistephen, and
the Rank of Montreal's available capi-
tal was in jeopardy for want of more
funds to complete the road, a letter,
couched in despair was sent to then
Donald A. Smite, who was In London
trying to get capitalists to embark in
the enterprise. Loyd Stratbemoa,
who had staked his all in the enter-
prise, sent back a cable with the
Highland word "Cralgel-Lachie," its
meaning "Stand. fast," and when, fin-
ally the victory was Won and the two
seta of constructors met in the Eagle
Valley in the heart of the second of
the great ranges which had made con-
struction so difficult, the place was
named "Cralgel-lacble," and it was
here that Stand Fast Smith in 1885
drove in the last spike that bridged
a continent.
Remarkable to relate, nearly all
the men who were associated with
Lord Strathcona In the launching of
the Canadian Pacific Railway are still.
living.
AN iDliAL HOUSEHOLD.
Lord Stratheona's home -life was,
ideal. He was never so happy as;
when surrounded by his home circle,.
composed of his late wife, their
daughter, and her children. With his
late wife, who passed away on Nov
12, 1913, he lived his romantic life
over again. He was most thoughtful
of Lady Strathcona, Whenever she
was out of town, no matter were be
was he would go in person and de-
spatch a telegram to her once a day.
As a man of high honor the late
High Commissioner for Canada was
exemplar. When several years ago
mighty efforts were made in Wall
street to buy up sufficient shares In
J. J. Hill's railway companies in or-
der to dethrone that native son of
Canada from his high position as a
railway king in the northwestern
states the complete misting of Hill
from power depended on buying up
Lord Strathcona's stock in the Hill
railways. Lord Strathcona was ap-
proached and was offered a sum
which would net him $2 0,0 00,0 00
profit on his etock, Lord Strathcona
.not being moulded on the same lines
as the wolves of Wall street, refused
'to sell out, and Hill was left in 009 -
session of his lines.
1 Lord Strathcona was a great ad-
mirer of 1. J. Hill, and Hill of Lord
Strathcona. They had had fmancial
relations with each other ha the early
seventies, when they both controlled
in conjunction a steamboat eervjee o
the Red river. In his raieway 7nte

life, was also associated with Mr.

Is it necessary to use a megaphone
to call your attention to the fact that
every time you patronized Mail Or-
der House in some distant city you
take money out of circulation in your
own community, thereby reducing to
that extent the prosperity of your
neighbors, including yourself in the
long run? Think it over carefully
and get back into the ALL HOME

In Canada's mighty transformation
no single influence played so great a
part as the late Lord Stratecona,
Canada would have developed with-
out litm, of course, but it would not
have developed so rapidly nor in the
same direction. Ile brought to it at
11 critical time 11, constancy of purpose
and a steady f alt0 tbat were of In-
ortitnable service, Hie very limita
tioas were largely the secret of his
pewee. Romantic though his career
was, there was no touch of romance
in his temperament. He was neither
tuan of genius nor au idealist. He
was ,inst an ordinary man 112 1311 ex-

clear-siglited, peaetical and stable as
