"Horne" draws for the first tee years of new settlement; but it is that big crop in the Northwest which pate the "wad" in the hip pocket, and makes it possible for the man in Sae. katoon to eat Christmas plum pud- ding in his native village in England, Ireland or Scotland. That crop of 115,000,000 bushela in the Northwest means more that; money in the lockets of the farmers.. It means a big business for the rail- ways and the disbursing .of Consider- able sums of money in the Mother Country. }. When thecrop isclean u . and c d the moneyinthe pocket, andthere is littledo in the winter months, to few e the Old Land draws like a magnet. It thus comes to pass that one sees at the Windsor station in Montreal, hundreds of happy peopleon their way to spend Christmas in the Mother Country. During the past few weeks the sta- tions in Montreal have been crowded withoin le eo to Great Britain, P p going Denmark, • Sweden, Norway, Italy, Austria, andso forth. The officials have been busy; the trains have been heavy; the store- keepers in the neighborhood have profited; while the cynical citizen, who rather piques himself upon the exhaustion .of human emotion, fiuda an interesting study in racial admix- tures. From distant Lloydfnfnater, where, o five years ago, one could d have heard English pianos in the tents on the prairie, where one could have seen English silver on. the bozos which served for table, but. which now is a modern town, with banks and poet- o$ice, and newspapers, from Calgar . ga y, new and bright and optimistic; from Regina,, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Van- couver • from the woods unci lakes and rivers of the far west, where life has been lived under strenuous conditions east to take —the people come e $e the s boats at St. John for Europe, to spend the Christmaswith their friends. "Only for a holiday, mind you," said n big strapping fellow from Sas- katoon, named Anderson. "Right back in the early spring is the word." "And how have you got along? "Oh, pretty well," in a tone which tried hard to be unconcerned, as the giant slapped a big "wad" in his hip pocket. "I would be a long time in the Old Country before I would make this much money. "I'm all right; quite happy. Plenty of work, which you must keep at with all your strength; but . that is how inen can get along here." The wistful yet happy Swede,with the tangle of yellow hair; the chatter- ing .and black-eyed Italian ; the stolid Pollack; the melancholy Hungarian;, the laughing . Irishman; the canny Scot; the comfortable Englishman, with the roses on his cheeks—the whole- making an . attractive picture, • composed of differing colors and racial habitudes --can be seen waiting for theirtrains or "doing" the city., Women, too, and rosy-cheeked chil- dren, though the men predominate. Wives and mothers; little family groups -all comfortably -dressed. The "000n" and buffalo coats ' are there; the big fur cap; the enawathing of mufflers—under which one perspires, but which must not be removed on any account—one sees all this, stops in shopping pursuits to regard it. The home -goers mingle with the hundreds of people on the . street; stare at the stores; buy the Christmas things ' which allure in the bigwin- dows; laugh and chat, and sow a happy camaraderie. - "The winter is hard in the North- west, and no mistake; but we are not going home because of that," said Mr. James Thompson, who with his wife and three children, are going home to Scotland for the holidays. "No; we wish just once again to see the country and our, friends, and then we willsettle right down to live our .lives on the land which is our Very ewe— something which we could not get at home.', As the heavy -laden trains palled out of the station the people left on the platform and• thosein the cars exchange happy. good-byes.

Locke, 'public lib- rarian, Toronto; had a rather smus- ing experience•, not many months ago, alter he' had gone to Toronto to , uy sumo his duties. A meeting of. 'tae Library 'Association was held in his orfrce, and one- of the newspapers as- signed to it a reporter .who had also a. nunciber of other. assignments to cover: 'itis reporter in question .had been formerly a resident of Toronto, but had been away from the city for some time working on an • American newspaper. The assignment to the Library Association was one of tns hest given to him on his return, and he wins quite .unaware that during 'his absence Dr. James' Bain, long the re- . veredhead of the institution, and #ie good friend of• all , newspaper men, had' passed away. He was detained so lung on, his other assignments that before he realized it; it was too late to get over to the library to coy- er the meeting. He bethought . him. self of Dr. Bain, who had always been willing to help the boys out in duen a case.. .He sought a telennone and called up the chief librarian's office. Mr. Locke responded, and the reporter said: "Hello, ed like 'to speak to Dr. Lain, please l" • "You cannot speak to Dr. Bain," said Mr.. Locke, who likes a little joke. ' '.tire reporter became a little net- tled and ask ed: • "Why can't I speak' to Dr: Bain? Isn't he there?" "He is not," replied Mr. Locke. "Well, can you tell inc where he is?" . insisted the newspaper; "I don't .know that anyone can tell you that," said Mr, Locke. "Dr, Bain died some months. ago." Expressed Differently.

It is the file of "Grip" for the year 1889. The address label on the bound copies is itself a reminder of the flight of time, for it bears the name et "Joseph Duhamel, Q.C.," once one et the leading special pleaders at the Bar of Montreal. The volume opens with a, full-page cartoon. A clergyman with one hand throat within the breast of his coat, 1. being warmly . clasped by the other hand by a young woman in tuque and sea: d 1 anco and 't A n g blanket gut. all is clear. It is Dr. George M. Grant, pritieipal of Queen's University, being welcom- ed home by Canada, At one side stands a lady with an address in her hand. This is King- ston, but the greetings froth Canada show that Principal Grant does not belong to Kingston alone. • He was a contemporary of the late Sir William Dawson, principal of Mc-, Gill; they were both born and educat- ed in the same little town, and per- haps they represent the best that Can- adian universities have yet produced. On the next pageare a couple of columns of what- may be 'called cur- rent comment. One paragraph is very interesting when read by the light of recent events. The Liberal party at Ottawa had then been in opposition eleven • years, • and it had already had three leaders --Mr. Mackenzie, who had led it into Opposition in 1878, Mr. Blake, who succeeded Mr. Mackenzie, but :weary- ing of the up -hill and seemingly hopeleas fight, had'resigned, to be fol- lowed by Mr. Wilfrid Laurier, who at the time of the writing of that coin. anent had been in the saddle two years. His first lieutenant was Sir Richard Cartwright. This is what "Grip" wrote of them twenty years ago: • • "Rumor again whispers that a change is to be made :in the leadership of the Reform party at an early date. Mr. Laurier expresses himself very 'willing to hand' over the reins to Sir Richard Cartwright, at any time, but Sir. Richard does• not manifest much anxiety to take them. ' "Itis this indifference in the com- manding officer that is demoralizing the Grit rank and file. "A leader ought to be *full • of con - Menai in :himacilf, and loaded to the very music with ambition. "Mr. Laurier is a most admirable and gifted gentleman, admired by friend and foe alike, but he is not a political pugilist. "Sir Richard is a perfect Parlia- mentary John L., but he either has a want of faith in himself or the future of the party that robs him of his strength. • "What seems to be needed is a combination of the qualities of . the two men. Isn't there some young Liberal looking for a job?" If the man who penned those lines.: is alive, he -would be compelled to admit that in this case at least he did not read aright the signs of the Utiles; that much less did he understand the character of the man about whom he was writing. Mr. Laurier, or Sir Wilfrid, as he is• knownto-day, lacking in confidence in himself, or 'iri ambition, or not relishing a fight—what could be more false? Let. anyone ask the Opposition to -day what they.think about it. If: there was "any young Liberal looking for a job" he did not get it. Laurier stuck to his guns,- and seven years later they battered down the citadel of power, held by his oppon- ants for eighteen long years. A little farther on is a page cartoon. is which Mr. (now Sir William) Van• Horne, and the Iate Hon. Thomas Greenway are . the central figures. They have been indulging in cock- fighting. The fight is over, and each holds hie bird • in his hands. Mr. Greenway's is crowing lustily, while Mr. Van Horne's is drooping and shows signs of collapse. It will also be notieeci that Mr, Greenway's bird bears the 'face of Sir Oliver Mowat, then Premier and At- torney -General of Ontario, while that of Mr. Van Horne Liasa face that •re minds one of Hon. Edward Blake. Near the scene of the lightis a rail- way crossing. The cartoon relates to a judginenf of the Supreme Court just rendered by which it was held that railways with provincial charters in Manitoba had it right to. cross the track of the Cana- dian Pacific, which had then been in operation only four years. To -day Manitoba contains 'a networkof rail- ways, andataoint near Portage la P g Prairie the lines of three transect. tinentsl systema cross . one another, Sir Oliver was counsel for Manitoba, Mr. Blake for therailway company. Of course, the face most frequently seen throughout this volume is that of Sir John Macdonald, and while of- ten the faees of other public men are poorly (lone, and in some eases 1vou1 I be unrecognizable were it not for the lines beneath the picture, those of the great Premier are perfeet.

Whyis the soul of man vexed with ambition? Why should. we stand, ss e Charles Heavysege says, amidst a deluge of dread, pelting thoughts," all urging us to effort, unless, ae Phillips Stewart asserts: "action lis the soul's finest speech" ? Probably. moat of ue come early to the former poet's philosophic conclusion, that; To hunt and to be hunted make exist. we; For Fore we are all as chasers or the chased; And some weak,luckless wr etc es. ever m. ae e Flying before the hound), of circum- stance, nee Adown the windy gullies of this life, Till, toppling over death's uncertain verge. We see of them rio more. It we choose between being hunters or hunted, the least valiant jamong us will see the advantitge of beginning the, ttack, even though h th e object o1 our pursuit should bear as petty a relation to the magnitude of ourreparations as is shown in the satirical lines of the same writer: After a partridge in the mountain comes The King di Israel, hunting,• with his army. Fut, apart from all outward urg. ency, there is a feeling in the spirit of man that is expressed in Theodore Rand's couplet: with drops of dew thtob wt h the ocean, We feel ourselves of. His tidal swell, We are surrounded with greatness, with mystery, and there is tnat with- in to mateh it,, if we can only succeed in bringing it out. In our hearts we know that we were intended to Taste the wine of shoreless oceans, And feed on food that was meant for ua. But in order to do so we must put out our tentacles, and reach forth un- tiringly for whatever we were de- signed to do and to suffer. "Aspire tilt ye die," says Wilfred Campbell, "for ye die when ye cease to aspire." As to the oharaeter of our efforts, we have but to consult what 1). 0. Scott calls The fire at the heart of the deed, The angel that watches o'er work. If there is no fire at the heart of our deed the deed is lifeless at its birth. There is no angel behind it. The same poet continues: For labor is always blind Unless - The angel is smiling behind. This is the test of every ambition: Does it spring from a fiery impulse? Is it backed by an angel? The petty 'aspirations, unarmed at birth, drop dead in out. path. Their cold clay. is an obstacle to progress." It is a fallen: angel who smiles behind them. The ambition to shine, to show .our. selves of finer fibre than our broth- ers, even thedesire of fame for its own sake, brings to our • ears inevit- able mocking laughter. What . says ' Theodore -Roberts? I loved Ambition, for he promised me Great things—green wreaths, a name to belt the world; I.: glanced at Life, who sat beside the hearth, And saw his cynic lips with laughter curled. With a noisier creative flame in the breast, and the angel at our back, the rewards of true endeavor shall ' be ours, though we may never, as Heavy- sege says, "garner within our bosom sheaves of peace.". The absence of these sheaves need not dismay us. As some philosopher has re- marked, "Pewee is for those who are more than eightyyears old." It is a quality associated with twilight and sleeping, time andthese things come with age.

Sir Louis Davies, of the Supreme Court Bench, and an enthusiastic Prince ' Edward Islander, was the guest of honor at a real old-fashioned oyster Supper tendered by the four representatives of that little province by the sea, to their fellow members in the Parliamentary restaurant at Ottawa recently: Sir Louis, who : is a: capital' after-dinner speaker, told: an excellent story of the way in which Sir John A. Macdonald used to win the devotion of his .followers. "I well remember," said Sir Louis, "the stirring fights we had in the House during the early eighties.. Mr. Edward Blake '.was the Opposition leader, anda feature of his leadership was the tremendously long speeches in .which he used to. indulge. On the. night in question, Edward Blake Made a four hour attack on the Government and lashed old Sir .John 'vigorously with •the whip of his invective. ' It was well into the morning when Mr. Blake finished, and everyone waited anxiously for the replyof the Pre- mier. Sir John rose quietly and in a few words thanked the Liberal leader for his well-chosen and brief refer- ences to himself, Then, without deigning to treat the arguments ad- vanced -vanced against his Government, the veteran deliberately turned and fac- ing his supporters exclaimed: "Well, boys, it is just this: Who is to • rule this country—old John A. or Edward Blake?' "Then he sat down and the roar of cheers which went up shook the chamber, and a four hour speech had been triumphantly answered in as Whiny minutes." Bombay's Water.
