under the auspices of the U. O. O. F
'During the. war the Hall was given gratis
''to every'1'atriotic endeavour and thus the
large crowd ,that packed the building to
its utmost capacity on the said night was

Jobb was chosen as spokesman and after
a few witty remarks announced that the
Irish had won the conteet by the very
narrow margin of one point.

the Iloy:tte, is enormously occupied
with her present', anti is enormously
'.ui etetly proud of what her citizens
.,re and of what they have accolu-
plished,
No one could, of course, ever mis-
tale, Belfast for anything but an Irish
city. and no Irishman, no matter
where ht• curve from, could ever land
there witliotit feeling at Manic t but,
where the background of the Irish-
man of the emelt or the -west is a
wonderful fill vista of a thousan.l myths,
deeds, and dreams, the background
of the li'isiinnui of Belfast is one
great deed and one great Stand, from
Derry, Aughrini, and the Boyne un-
til now. The Irishman of Belfast,
moreover, takes his background for
granted. His great pride is that it
never changes, and so, whilst the
Irishman of the south or the west is
day -dreaming on the hillsides, joy-
ously exploring the past, and neg-
lecting the present • in the grand
make-believe of an oftentimes de-
lightfully impracticable future, the
Irishman of Belfast, untroubled by
such fancies and fantasies, is build-
ing things of solid worth.
And be does it all with such en-
ergy and in such numbers! In tlib
first light of a summer morning, he
pours forth from every side street
into every main street, whether in
the city itself or far out in the sub-
urbs, and, boarding long rows of
tram cars,' makes his way thereon
to some great cotton mill or factory',
or to the shipyards. The massing to-
ward the shipyards is always the
most dense and the most impressive.
Here, Indeed, is Belfast at work
strenuously and clangorously. All
great shipyards are much the same,
of course; the huge hulks of in-
eltoate liners or merchantmen with
their gaunt ribs allowing up sharply
from below against the sky; the greet
traveling cranes; the almost absurd
immensity of everything, seen at
close quarters; and, above all, the
ceaseless rattle of the riveters at
work. It is all there in Belfast, but
in Belfast, for the Irishman, it ale
ways itas this added wonder, that it
is so unlike the rest of Ireland. Thus
Stephen Gwynn ands in the ship-
yards "a spectacle, strange to him
anywhere, but ten times more strange
in Ireland." "However .the light
might change," he writes, "the
sounds never altered. Hammer, ham-
mier, hammier -that, I thought, is the
noise we want to hear in Irelande
money, money, money, bread, bread,
bread --stay at- home and eaten it -
that was the tune it went to. The
heavy dredger keeping the channel
open, the dirty little launch passing
in the cold, gray -blue water, with
gray, respectable, busy -looking peo-
ple on board -all this was life, and
the life we need most in IreIand."
But Stephen Gwynn does not leave
it here. The real Irishman, whether
he comes from Belfast or from Cork,
must ever see the stone in its set-
ting. The only difference is that the
man from the south or the west is
too apt to have eyes only for the
setting, and the man from the north
only for the stone. Belfast has a
wonderful setting, and so Stephen
Gwynn goes on to tell how "moun-
tain and lough and seagulls over the
water" are there, and to describe
how, from the top of Cave Hill, as it
shoulders its way up lute the sky to
the north of the city, a than may
gain one of the views • of the et orici.
Practically the whole' of what men
think of when they speak of Ulster
lies spread out at one's feet, from
the Derry Hills to the,Moun'aine of

®NE of the chief tactors making
for the growth of the sheep in-
dustry throughout Western
.Canada is the wider distribution of
these atlnt2ls that is now taking
place among farmers all over the
atbree prairie provinces.
Southern Alberta has hithertc
easily led all the rest of the West in
this industry, the production of wool
from this district being about two-
thirds of the total output of 'Western
Canada; but there are signs that this
disproportion will not always be so
great. Not that any faitiisg oft in the
nuttiber of sheep en Southern Alberta
is expected. The industry is expect•
ed to maintain its •steads' growth
there. But other parts of the West r
have equal advantages for the growth
of the Industry. and since this is
realized. be farmers considerable de.
vi,lopment along that line may be
confidently anticipated.

I have a friend in East Africa who
writes from a remote village that he
was much puzzled recently by the
marked interest in himself shown by
the natives. First the "Mayor," in a

red waistcoat (worn outside the

round the • Englishman at a spot
where lie was superintending they
