One day, however, a gang "Of men displeased him, and he de- nounced tbem in strong terms and then dismissed them. The workmen crowded round the manager;. blows Were struck on both sides, A cry went up, and other workmen gathered quickly. They made a rush for 'him, and down be went. Picking himself up quickly, he sprang into the clerk's checking ,office and slammed the door. The men had smashed' the window and some wore preparing to climb into the room when the manager, trembling with wrath and fear, heard. a Balm but surothered voice: "Boyth, boyth, do not make a meth take. all thpeak for you." ' The men ,ceased their angry -clamor and turned toward the big miner who had addressed them. "It'th all righth, Mithter Dawthon," the newcomer said to the manager. "You may thafely eome-out "Is that you, Captain Harris?" asked the manager. ' "Meth; said the leader of the miners- 'T11 thpeak for the men.' "Then I want all here dismissed!" demanded the manager, "That lth not the word of roathon or juthtice," said Captain Harris quiet- ly. "I athk your pardon and conthi- deration for theth men,. You are in their power now. If T thtand by you and lead you away, they will be in your power. Deal with me ath you like, but deal with them conthiderate- ly." "Take me out of this!" demanded the manager. "I' will," said Captain Harris, "and ath man to man I claim your word of honor to deal juthly by theth men," Later in the office the manager said to the president: Who Is this Cap- tain Harris that with a word from his thick throat can turn a mob of angry men into Iambs?" "Oh," said the president, "have you eome under the oharm of that man' too?" "What is there in him?" demanded the manager. "He's a big man, I'll grant, six feet and a little more per- haps with a lurap at hie neck and twinkling blue eyes. But what is there in him to sway the men as he does?" And a us too," the presi- dent. p dent. That man is a saint if there ever was one. He wishes to bear all the mistakes of everybody. Any mo- ment his life may be rapt by that dead- ly cancer on his neck—the lump you speak of. He asks no sympathy from anyone. 'it's all right, boys,' says Har- ris. "Sc long as there's life I'm here to stand by you. When the vein breaks it's the master's call, and I'l•I report for duty at the higher office.' You can't resist the power of a man 'who has one foot already in heaven!" "I never met anything like it be- fore," admitted the manager. "I be- lieve I owe my life to him." And be told of his encounter. "Well," said the president, smiling, "you may boast all you like of the power of money and force, but Cap- tain Harris is a constant witness of the charm, influence and power of a good life." Origin of Picturesque Name of Qu'Appelle. One of the most picturesque geo- graphic names is Qu'Appelle, the ap- pellation of the river which flows in an easterly direction through Saskatche- wan some miles north of the cities of. Moose Saw and Regina to join the As- sin1boine river in Manitoba, The name was originally qui appelie, or river that calls, and like most French, names in Western Canada dates back to the days when the French-speaking explorers and fur traders from what is now Eastern Canada penetrated into the heart of the West. The first mention of the name is ih the diary of John McDonnell, of the Northwest Company. It was one of the duties of a fur trader to keep a journal of each day's doings, Under date 11 October, 1793, McDonnell has the following: "Arrived at the fort of the River qui Appelle, called by Mr. Robert Grant, when he built it, Fort Esperance.' Grant built the post re- ferred to about 1785 and possibly the river name came into use about that time. Daniel Harmon, also of the North- west Company, whose "Journal of Voyages and Travels" in the Interior of North America" was published in 1820, visited the river in 1804, He states that the name is a translation of the Indian name Catabuy. A more phonetic spelling is iiatepwe, a name still borne by a lake on the river. Har- mon states that the Fiver "is so named by the ,superstitions natives who im- agine that a spirit is Consantly going tip and down it, and they say that they often hear its voice distinctly, which resembles the cry of a human being." A modern explanation of the name is more materatribute% It to;lallstic and t the remarkable echo in the river val- ley when the ice bursas in the winter. Information about the emeaning, of this name, as about other Canadian place names; is summarized' in the :18th re- port of the Geographic Board of Cana- lla which has just bean published.

Toronto Early fast fall, fifteen employees were stricken with typhoid during the time they were employed in a lumber camp up north. Two of these men entered claims: for damages --against the company. They contended that the water they had drunk at the camp while at work was the cause of .the disease, and claimed half pay for the period during which they had been ill. They got no compensation, however, as the law in Quebec does not provide for this sort of thing. On theface of it, there seems a real need for our sisterprovince to take action to rem- edy matters in this regard. Where there is a large industrial population, as is the case in Ontario, many unfortunate accidents are bound to occur during working hours. Circumstances govern cases,but chitlins can be made for compensation when the injured person feels that he was not responsible for the accident. Redress, too, con be claimed in the case of persons who contract disease while employed in industry, and it is.a good law that makes provisibii for this in Ontario. If you happen to live 1n Quebec, however, you have not such facilities when disease overtakes you. Under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act in Que- bec, disease contracted during ern. ployment in an industry does not en - title the employee to compensation, but accidents alone can bring an in- demnity. Such was the principle. established recently by Chief Justice Sir Francois Lemieux, in the Super- ior Ceuta, Quebec, ,in dismissing with costs two actions. for $600 each, en- tered by two lumberjacks named Per- ron and Gendron against the corpora- tion that employed them, for payment of wages during the period they had. suffered from typhoid. It was also added by the Court that it had not been proved that the doss: ease had been contracted at the lum- ber ber camp of the company, as stated, but even, if proved, the award could not be made. Industrial Health Supervision car- ried on among the mines, lumber -com- panies and large construction projects in Northern Ontario, has been a re- markable success. Every lumber campp, mine and little saw -mill has a quali- fied physician 'as its sanitary super- visor, who also cares for the men 'medically. These doctors render 'splendid service in protecting the , worker's health. Each pear sees a further reduction in the number of communicable diseases reported. In- , deed, most of the common infectious fevers so very prevalent ten years ago, have almost vanished. Stich a record speaks very creditably for the effectiveness of the service.

A hones bee weighs 1j 300th, 01 ".n ounce; its ;load" of nectar is, there- fore, extremely small. A. scientist as- eertained. that the average load weighs about 1/1260Lh ofan ounce --a quarter of the bee's weight. This means . that 20,000 journeys (reckoning the outward and inward trip as one) are necessary - for the gathering of a pound of nectar; but, as flower -juice loses at least ono -half of its bulk beforeit becomes honey, it follows that the production' on a pound of honey involveson this reckoning a minimum of 40,000 journeys. If' we assumethat the average trip out and home measures half a mile (a low estimate), the immense dis- tance of 20,000,,miles must be covered in gathering the; raw material for a I pound of honey. This is equal to 1,260.• miles per. ounce. RICH, PARE BLOOD RESISTS DISEASE Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make Rich Blood and Restore Health.

No other volcano has ever equaled Mauna Loa, in Honolulu, In the volume of lava it has discharged in its princi- pl eruptions, nor is any other so dreaded, for in its stream flow death an destruction, The mountain has, however, the true instinct of chivalry, and invariably gives warning to the hundreds of sugar and toffee planters about its base When its intentions are hostile, This warning is conveyed by the bluish steam that arises from its crater, which is always followed by a flood of red hot lava, Mauna Lon is giving this warning now. At the time of its great eruption in 1800 the lava burst from the sides of the mountain as wsll as from its crater and flowed like a great river for nine months, varying In width from three lililes to a few hundred yards. It ran a distance of fifty miles. Final- ly it reached the outskirts of the town of Hilo, whose inhabitants were calm- ly awaiting their doom, It was then that the young princess of the reigning house of Honolulu de- termined . to test the efficacy of the well-known . legend of the mountain. The legend was that 1f a young end beautiful princess should array her- self as a bride and surround herself with attendants that would form a pro- cession and climb -the mountain with her, she could then, by approaching the crater and throwing. in a sacred white pig, appease the wrath of the mouuitin and cause it to be quiescent. This;vas, in fact, no simple task; for beside the physical Onduranoe It was necessary fd dodge the boiling lava on the mountainside. The white pig also grew heavy and restless in the arms of the princess: He chafed un- der the garlands of Owers with which he was decorated, Three . times on this strange expeclitten the pig es- caped, but 'was cangght again by the at- tendnts of the princess, After much labor sire replied' the crater, and with a supremeeffort of strength and cony age, cast the: ,squealing .pig into the awful depth Below,..

EASY TRICKS NO Cliance.At All Most amateur tricksters know one or two methods of discover- ing the identity of a cared selected by a spectator, Here is an ex- cellent method of disclosing the fact of the discovery, In this case another spectator, who does not, know which card was selected, names it. An examination of the following will indicate how the spectator can be.

"Then the card must be an even club; the odd clubs' having been eliminated. There are even clubs higher than five and lower than five. Name either." "Lower," "Fine, that leaves us the even clubs higher than five. The even clubs are six, eight and ten. We may divide these into a lower group comp:mod of six and eight and an upper, composed of ten. Name the upper or lower." "Upper." "}Tine, that leaves the lower, Name either six or eight" If eight is named, the trick Is completed. If six is named, the ;trickster calmly eliminates six. `leaving eight—and the stunt Is completed.

Around the world in 133 days! To visit countries famed in song and story, countries whose history reaches back to the very beginning of; time, lands of strange peoples and nnaceus- tomed sights, such is the pleasure in store for passengers on the Red Star Liner Beigenland sailing from New York on December 4 next. The first stop. on this voyage of en- abantment is at beautiful Havana, then on through the Panama Canal, along the colorful Californian coast to Hawall, gem of the Pacific. Ten days. of the balmy sunshine and smooth seas which characterize the Pacific in. the winter season, brings the Belgen land to the mystic Orient.. The Land of the Rising Sun offers many curious scenes for the Canadian, while Hong Kong is of special interest as an out- post of the British Empire, Shanghai and Singapore, the West Indies, Cal- cutta, Bombay anti Ceylon, what vis- ions of tropical grandeur these names suggest!. A trip up the Nile, a view of Luxor, Cairo and Alexandria Is fol- lowed by a visit to the . Holy Land. Mediterranean cities next claim the at- tention 01 the traveller, who may con- tinue his tour to include Switzerland, France and the British Isles. Happiest of choices for this long jour- ney 1s the Beigenland, of 27,200 tons register, 697 feet long and 78 feet broad. She has turbine engines, triple screws, and oil -burning boilers --the latter an important feature on a long voyage, as the use of o11 fuel elimin- ates the soot, dust and cinders in- separable from the use of coal. She is the largest liner ever sent around the world. Equipped with all conveni- ences, powerful and steady, with gen- erous breadth of decks and luxuriously fitted rooms, with two gymnasiums and a swimming pool, the Belgenland provides her passengers with every comfort at sea.
