THE WINGHAM. ADVANCE THE WIFE OFA PRIME MINISTER. (13y Jame Grant.) "What," asked an ingenuous young member of Parliament addressing a eeasoned Ottawa politician, "what le the first essential of a successful statesman ?" "A, statesman's wife," retorted the other. "But you are single." "I'm not a statesman," "Well " "Well, listen son. For every born statesman that gots a hand on the tiller of State there are thousand plain uninspired statesmen who bring to their work ordinary vision, ordin- ary brains and a common, honest desire to serve their country. Some Ruch men become quite successful at times. When you see one who is par- ticularly successful, or when you see one who bas unmistakable signs of inspiration, look for the wife. There are statesmen's wives, just as there are editors' wives, and clerks' wives, and ward -heelers' wives. Sometimes a statesman gets a clerk's wife •or a clerk gets a statesman's wife. Ibeen wrote plays about these things. But a statesman with a statesman's wife is like a judge with a sweet temper and a sense of responsibility. Genius of common clay, give a public man a public man's wife, and they'll make a success. It is not'alone a matter of social activity and that sort of thing. It is not a mere matter of outward appearances. It is poise, my son, that a good wife can supply a public man. She acts as a shock absorber, a buffer between his heights and his depths, Many a good man might have done better work` for his country if there had been someone waiting at home after his first speech to give him the right kind of criticism and the right kind of praise, instead of just a look- ing -glass reflecting a smirk." And the youth went home and looked hard at the cabinet photograph of the girl he had said good-bye to last, on leav- ing to conquer Ottawa. Very grave, very—what women call "sweet," very tactful and very inter- esting and interested, is Mrs.. R. L. Borden, a statesman's wife. It is for history and not for partisan contem- poraries to say whether Right Honor- able R. L. Borden is one kind of statesman or another, but of the Prime Minister's wife opinion is not to be divided. Fine qualities were never given a wamen who used them better. Laura, the youngest daughter of T. H. Bond of Halifax, married Robert Laird Borden in September, 1889. This is the month of their 21th wedding anniversary. Borden was then thirty-five years old. He had been called to the Bar eleven years before and was regarded as a big law- yer -in the E ret. He was the head of the concern. He was ten years Presi- dent of the Nova Scotia Barristers' Association. It was considered among the gossips of the town that Mies Laura Bond had done well, She and he would settle down to an agreeable life, entertaining to some extent, no doubt, and becoming part of the well- oiled social machinery of the city. They had visions of R. L. Borden and Mrs, R. L. Borden growing into staid middle -age and on into old age as a charming host and hostess who would always help to make the social firmament the brighter and the, con- versation of the spheres the happier for their presence in it. They saw no need for further ambition in R. L. Borden. Was he not the leading lawyer of the country ? Did' not grave judges listen to him with their best attention? Did not the court. rooms ring to his rounded periods ? What more could a man want ? Seven years after he' was married the present Prime Minister was elect- ed to the Dominion House of Commons. He had taken up a new battle after having won what many another man might well have thought was enough for a lifetime ; he had made himself a big lawyer. Now, however, he enter. ed the field of Dominion politics, a stranger, a man who was by no means "a mixer," a man with ideas. In the face of many an adverse circumstance R. L, Borden forged ahead to the leadership of his party, and finally won an election. Ana only at the end did the general public see the figure that had accompanied the Prime Minister all through the game. In •Opposition she was the charming hostess of a large circle of friende. As wife of the Primo Minister her hospi- 'Tie told of a young lady of Jamaica tality touches a whole city. "I believe" that she put her card inside pf a bana- Mre. Borden is quoted as saying on one na, which reached a Toronto bachelor. occasion, "in the power of the home Since then they have been married. to make men realize their fullest effi- Kind of a akin game, wasn't it ? ciency, I believe that the home -mak- ing genius is the greatest gift a wo- man can have, and the only one she should be really anxious to exercise," Sitting in spacious grounds on one of the quiet streets a Ottawa is the home of the Prime Minister. It speaks for the fact that what the Prime "Fairview Farm" the residence of Mr. and Mrs, J03. Hackett, Ashfield, was the scene of a very pretty wed- ding on wednesday, September 10th, when their second daughter. Amelia, was united in marriage to Robert H. Treleaven, a prosperons young farmer of Crewe. Promptly at eleven o'clock to the strains of Wedding Bells march played by Miss Helen Hackett. sister of the bride, the wedding party grace- fully took their places beneath an arch of evergreens trimmed with white asters surmounted by a wedding bell, artistical' y arranged on the veranda where 11 :v. J. J Durrant performed the cert mony, in the presence of about seven' y -five invited guests. A quiet wedding was solemnized nn Puesday afternoon of last week the Timothy Eaton Memorial :hunch, Toronto, when Miss Mary L. Borton and Rev. Kenneth J. Bea- ton, B.A., son of Mr. A. D. Beaton of Clinton, were united in marriage by Rev, Dr. T. E, E. Shore, assisted by Rev. Joseph Odery. The wedding march was played by Miss G. A. Saunders. Miss Margaret Shaw acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. G. R, S. Flem- ing, B. A., supported the groom, Rev. F. L. Farewell, B. A., and Mr. R. G. Dingman, B. A., were the ushers. A reception was held in the church parlors following the wedding. Mrs. T. W. Miller and Mrs. G. A. Walton being the hostesses. Mr. and Mrs. Beaton left for Muskoka for a brief holiday, and after returning will reside on Bismarck avenue for a year, when they expect to go to West China as missionaries of the Methodist Church. Dave Oantelon, the well known Clinton authority on apples, says thus of his look over the Canadian fields— "Ontario is ehorb on apples this sea - eon. West of the ridge of hills, some• times called the Blue Mountains, which terminate at Oollingwood, there will not be a quarter crop, East of that it will be a quarter more. The Spys predominate, but even they are scrubby and spotted. The bene- fit of spraying is to be seen wherever you go, Orchards that have been sprayed will have better fruit than those not so treated, and where orch- ards have been well cared for in every respect there will be almost full yield and the fruit will be of such duality that it will Command a high price. The province over three.quart- ere of the crop will be No. 2, which will have a downward tendency on the price, In Bruce cuunty I will from observation say that not ten per cent. will be No. 1, Annapolis Valley, the famous apple district of Nova Scotia, is not making a good showing. IBut still you know we are getting some stock and I have already bought over 10,000 barrels, but nearly all outside of Huron County." r ink and Ole of the party, Mrs. Bor. den endured all the hardships of an itinerary designed to save time and cover a maximum territory. Train connections, early and late, were no obstacle to her, and where her bus. band went she went also, ready to render whatever assistance she could in a trying undertaking. The success of that tour of Ontario was not due alone to the party leader, but some of it went to his wife, who, when the people had shaken hands with her husband, was receiving them a little to one side, and unconsciously cementing the good impression he bad created. Ae a hostess, Mrs. R. L Borden is justly pronoueced the leader of the city of hostesses, Ottawa. There, surrounded by her gueete, she stands receiving them from the one side and sending them on, into the room, at ease, just for her few skilful words, She is a woman of presence. Her voice, her facial expression and the eyes convey the idea of welcome in inimitable manner. Conversation begins easily. If there is time to pro. long it. it may, so far as Mrs. Borden is concerned, cover a range of subjects, on all of which she is posted. Golf or hunting, or books or travel art or music—she is interested in them all. As a statesman's wife, as a hostess, as a public-spirited citizenese, Mrs. R. L Borden is distinguished among wc- men.

As announced early in the season, the Dominion Live Stock Branch has this year undertaken a distribution of pure bred male animals throughout Canada on a somewhat extensive scale. In inaugurating this policy the aim has been to aid sections where pure bred sires were lacking and to encourage new communities in follow- ing an intelligent system in breeding This form of assistance has proven very popular and during the past few months a large number of bulls and several stallions have been placed in various parts of the country in the bands of local associations formed specially for the purpose of handling and maintaining them. All animals placed remain the property of the De- partment of Agriculture, the local associations assuming the responsibil- ity for their maintenance and manage- ment under the general supervision of officers of the Live Stock Branch. The distribution of bulls and stal- lions having been brought to a close for this year the opportunity is now to deal with applications for boars and rams. Full information regarding the rules governing the distribution and the procedure to be followed in forming the necessary organization may be had upon application to the Live Stock Commissioner, Ottawa. As it is the intention to consider only such requests as are forwarded before October 20th, it will be neces- sary for districts desiring to take ad- vantage of this offer to act promptly. BREVITIIS. Mock jewelry on a woman is tangi- ble vulgarity. Unless a man works he cannot find out what be is able to do. Everybody in the world wants watching, but nobody more than our- selves, Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting. If you will learn the seriousness of life, and its beauty also, live for your husband; make him happy. Good sense and good nature are never separated, though the ignorant world has thought otherwise. Without, good company, all dainties lose their true relish, and, like painted grapes, are only seen, not tasted. The happiness of married life de- pends upon the power of making small sacrifices with readiness and cheerful - nese, A boy will learn more true wisdom in a public school in a year than by a private education in five, It is not from masters, but from their equals, that youth learn a knowledge of the world. Protection of Birds. - The Administrator of the Orange Free State has issued a proclamation ,protecting the korhaan and pauw for a periodof two years. These birds belong to the bustard species, and the former has been described as the national bird, of South Africa. They live mainly on insects, and it has been calculated that a single ker• haan will account for between 30 and 40 million ants and other insects, most of them destructive to herbage, each season. The wanton destruct tion of these valuable birds of late years has been a great loss to farm, ers, and the present prohibition, al. though somewhat tardy, has been warmly approved. That Elusive Gray Hair. "What makes me really mad," • said the woman, "b to spend minutes, may- be hours, trying to get hold of a white Bair that shows up on my head like a dazzling light, yet which is tantaliz- ingly elusive when I try to catch itt, and then when I do finally separate it from the brown hair and give it a vigorous pull, to find that I have snatched out a good brown hair and left the white one still shining!"--+ New York Times. ' A Long Stay. Belle Passay—I'm tired of being pur- sued for my money. I'm going to the country and pose as a poor girl and wait for the first man who offers him- self. Blanche Innit—Well, you stand rhe country in summer =well enough, but you'll find the winters just horrid. .-Puck. I have no more pleasure in hearing a man attempting wit and failing, than in seeing a man trying to leap over a ditch and tumbling into it. It turns out the women had to wear slit gowns because of the high steps on street cars. The steps had to be made lower or•the gowns had to be slit. Minister's wife preaches she also practices. But Mrs. Borden adds to her domestic qualities others, There is probably no woman in Canada who has had a longer list of outside inter - este. In Halifax she was associated with almost every noteworthy wo- man's organization. In oharities and corrective fliletitutions, in social and educational organizations, she was al- ways a foremost worker. To day in Ottawa she carries on these same In- terests, Ifospitals, orphanages, en- con's clubs, and the'patriotie work of the Daughters of the Empire have ,ill a claim on her time and,make her days busy.
