CHINATOWN'S women missionaries
have abandoned the scene of their

Mrs. Pankhurst is regarded by the

Deputy Commissioner William C
Cozier of the department of lighting
has filed with Park Commissioner
Kennedy the plans for a new lighting
system. It will replace the present
system, which consists of 259 oid
fashioned naphtha lamps and a few
electric lights in scattered places.
The old system doesn't give much
light, and in most places Prospect
park is as dark, after nightfall, as
the blackest black paint could repre
sent it.
The new plan calls for 760 of the
new Tur.gsten lamps, which Commis
sioner Cozier has already begun to
install in Fort Green park, as well as
some arc lamps. The maps show that
when the lamps are all in place there
won't be a dark spot left in the park,

few and far between that a handful

even the most heartsick youngsters.

her mother's zeal in converting Leon

the agitation against sending young
white girls down into Chinatown's

worship of Buddha grew to such pro

at once.
A number of the elder women stuck
to their posts for a time, and It was
not until the Chinamen themselves
began to show signs of hostility to
ward their teachers that the general
exodus began.
The hostility of the Chinese against
their women teachers grew out of the
persecution suffered by practically all
the Chinamen in the city after the
Sigel murder. The burden of the
crime fell heavily upon the heads of
all the members of the race, and as
the activity of the police increased
the resentment of the Chinese against
the missionaries grew until it began
to appear dangerous for the women to
continue their visitations.

fact that they are largely used for
the personal recreation of individuals

The city, while it has been urging
all sorts of reforms to prevent just
this practice on account of the great
number of deaths which have oc
curred here lately from reckless auto

the position of being an offender in
the same class.

We pitched our first camp on Febru
ary la, 1909. and from then until we
struck the Montreal river on March
16 we pitched camp 12 times. "We
started on February 14 and the first
night found an old tent that had been
up all winter. Being rather tired after
our first day's journey, we decided to
camp there rather than go to the
bother of pitching our own tent. The
tent was rather small and we were
somewhat crowded in our close quar
ters. In turned bitter cold that night,
and we had difficulty in keeping
warm. The next morning, after break
fast, we packed our toboggans and
moved about half a mile farther
south and pitched the camp.
We had no dogs, and as our load
was rather large and heavy, we were
forced to split it and take part ahead
and cache it and then take the re
mainder when we broke camp. The
trails were vary bad in places and
then again there were no trails at all
and we were forced to cut our own.
This made pretty slow traveling, and
from February 14 to until March 15
we traveled about 25 miles, or about
a mile a day.
During the winter it is a very com
mon sight to see a prospector along
the trails in Canada. The packs vary
in weight from 25 to 100 pounds and
the toboggans carry between 50 and
150 pounds, so, between the two. a
man has a pretty good load. If the
trails are good, the pack can be put
on the sled, but if the trail is at all
uneven the load is very apt to tip over
and cause more inconvenience than if
the pack were carried. The packs are
usually carried well up on the shoul
ders and then supported by a tump
line, going over the forehead and
sometimes balanced by two shoulder
straps. In this way the man has free
use of his arms.
On May 6 we were at Smoothwater
lake. Although that late in the sea
son, the river froze at night and left
about a quarter of an inch of ice. We
were there about a week after the
spring breakup started and at this
time the ice was all out of the river;
but in the lakes the ice had not started
to go. Furthermore, it had not disap
peared until about two weeks later.
Several times in May we took our ca
noe on the river and then bad to use
snow-shoes in the woods in order to
get around.
The rapids in the Montreal river at
Latchford were not frozen over on
February 8, yet the temperature was
14 degrees below zero. The rapids
never freeze during the coldest weath
er. The railroad bridge crosses the
river at this point.
There was a bad fire in Gowganda
on May 26. The fire was started by
sparks from a campfire used for out
side cooking. First it took a tent and
all its contents and then jumped to a
log cabin and in half an hour there
was nothing left but a pile of charred
logs. A strong north wind was blow
ing away from the town; bad it been
in the other direction there would
have been no city to tell the tale.
A greater sight which we saw was
a forest fire on Lake Kawakanika.
Forest fires are started, sometimes by
carelessness ana sometimes on pur
pose. This particular fire burned all
around this lake and finally burned
itself out in a swamp. There were
number of bad fires on Lake Obus-
kong, there being five in one day.
number of men have lost all their be
longings in these fires. The flames
travel so quickly they are very dan
gerous.
A favorite way of travel between
Latchford and Elk lake during the
summer nioallis is by steamer. The

nine hours. There are mountain
chutes, fiat rapids and other rapids
between Elk lake and Latchford and
as the boats do not run them, there
has to be a boat at each portage, to
make connections. The engines on
the boats are all wood burners and
run quite slow, so it makes the trip
rather tiresome.
It was in 1670 that Charles IL gave
to his cousin Prince Rupert the bold
but none too successful cavalier of the
civil war the exclusive right to trade
with the Indians, in that great stretch
of country whose rivers run down tc
Hudson's bay. The Hudson's Bay
Company was formed by Prince Ru
pert and his associates, who exploited
the concession, and its history for
nearly two-and-a-half centuries has
been one cf astonishing boldness and
success. 1- urs were the company s
main concern in its early days. Its
agents, established in factories or
forts, txaded with the Indian hunters,
collected the pelts, and dispatched
them by the inland waterways on the
long and perilous route to the coast
for transmission to England. Even
to this day the company's fnr trade
is being carried on in like manner.

"My grandmother," said the m;
who was raised on the farm, "was
woman of great determination. One
day she was showing grandfather and
me how to seize hornets and smash
in their skulls beneath the thumb and
forefinger before they could sting
a little trick in which the old lady
took great pride. She picked the yel
low buzzer off the window shade, the
usual faint, crushing sound was heard
and the old lady smilingly held the
dead body up for our approval. We
showed proper admiration for the
fear, but still regretfully preferred to
slap the little fiends with a board.

we notice the swollen finger, and dis

devlish ingenuity, had managed to

"She also used to cut up with
hoe all the snakes she could find and
feed them to the chickens. Snake
meat, especially milk snakes, gave the
chicken a peculiarly fine flavor, she
asserted. No one could contradict this
theory, the fine flavor was there every
Thanksgiving day to prove it"

A man whose boyhood had been

which the Commonwaolth of Massa

summoned to admire his wife's new
hat. Round and steep and brilliant
ly yellow it was the "very latest
cabriolet. The man looked at it Ion
and thoughtfully, and then, "That
takes me back," he breathed.
"What do you mean?" inquired his
puzzled wife, who had been prepared
for sarcasms, but not sighs.
"Why, the hat's the living image of
the dome of the Boston statehouse if
you'd only had it just a little bigger!"

hotel of Grant-Center, when a boy
came running un the street and
shouted, breathlessly: "They're cc tu

At this cry the whole neighborhood
awoke to life. Men hurried up from
all directions, and the storekeepers
came to their doors. Then more boys
came down the street, all with the
same cry: "They re comin"! They're

slowly and solemnly, as, if to the gal
lows, they came np to the hotel and
turned and mounted the steps. Then
the crowd, which had been gathering,
made a rush and swung in behind
them, almost treading on their heels.
I kept my seat, and the whole proces

me and entered the barroom of the

and
the bar in an immaculate white linen
coat. The old man and the women
walked straight up to him. Without a
movement of his face the landlord set
out a black bottle and a glass.- The
old man took the bottle and poured
out an unmistakable amber liquid.
"Fill it np!" called a man at my
side, and "Fill it np!" "A'ake him fill
it np!" echoed a dozen other voices.
By way of answer, the old man
turned around and held up the glass,
full to the brim. Then impressively
he drank it off. Immediately one of
the women banded him a glass of
water, another patted him on the back,
and the others sighed and groaned In
helpless distress. And then they all
marched slowly through the crowd to
the door without paying the slightest
attention to the hoots and cat-calls
that went up on all sides.
After the crowd had melted away
and the landlord had rejoined me on
the veranda. I asked for an explana
tion of what I had just seen. He
chuckled to himself for a long time be
fore he could find voice to begin.
