1 Trembling , I take my pen hi hand to write
t > f Canada and the Canadians. Not long
ago a great French critic breakfasted in
New York1 , lunched at Philadelphia , dined In
Baltimore and wrote Impressions of the
] ieopo ! of the United States ! Washington.
Having cut a crescent from the corner of
Canada , beginning at Windsor and endieg at
Niagara , and vlco versa , and having had
tlio additional experience of a summer In
Ontario , I ought ( If I had the same ability )
to bo a competent to say what they do and
how they do It In tbo Dominion as the
IVirtslau editor was to write of the people
and things of the United States. ,
It seems to meOut If the "iniprcsiion"
of a traveler is ever of Interest to the avert
ago reader. It mu t bo his first Impression ,
( or , In a little while , we become accustomed
to str&uge tribes , tad their waja are not
impressed at all.
"I tiasteti , " said 'tho eminent Journalist <
bovo referred to , "to write down my Im-
jirejslons. for In a fortnight in a month
they , will be gone. "
I recall now the first thing that attract4
my attention upon entering Canada for the
first time vras that the station employes in
Detroit were singing "After the Hall , " and
that the Canadiin car h > ind who was tapping
Irucka for the Qraud Trunk was humming :
From Greenland's icy -mountains ,
1 From India's coral strands.
Coming back from New York I heard them
iwhletllng the some tune In Duffilo that I
bad heard In Detroit , and at St. Thomas
a man was elnglng softly , as he wrecked
my trunk :
My days are glldlni ; rwlftly by
And t. a pilgrim stranger ,
Would not detain them as they fly
These hour * ol toll and dancer.
r lit w W sot tevt bad r f reace to bU
\
Job , for he wa taking no moro chances
than I was. He simply sang what was in
his mlud , and I could not help thinking that
these songs were the result of environment.
A Canadian writing In the Canadian maga
zine not long ago said the people of Can
ada were more God-fearing , Saabalh-observ-
fag in phort , they were "holler than we. '
I wish ho had left that for me to have said.
It would look better here , part of It at least ,
than It looked over the signature of a Cana
dian , I dislike to see a man to cock sure of
himself.
PASTORAL. SCENES.
One Sunday morning while out for the
little run that I always like to take before
sitting to a Ecrmon , I saw a. woman and a
boy seated by the roadside minding their
cows in the grassy lane , and wondered that
they should be there o early , for the sun
v.as Just peeping over the hedge. As I
passed , the woman , placing a finger on the
open page that she was reading , looked up
and frowned on the Sabbath breaking bike
that was as good for me out there lu the
glow and glory of God's morning as the
gretn grass was for her horned cows. She
was reading the bible to her 'boy. An hour
later , when I leaned my wheel against a
tree , my neighbor , who had been reading
ha ! bible under this game tree. roae. stretched
himself and remarked that he would like
nisi to go out Into the country , but the cars
dldut' run Sundays ( he worked hard all the
week ) and ho could not afford a wheel.
It struck we that he had moro sense than
the men who make some of the Canadian
laws. For example , they have a "bread
I by-law" ! ii a lot of Canadian towns that
I says every loaf of bread must weigh two
I pounds , and the result Is that the bakers
haul the bread out of the oven when it 1.3 .
only half cooked for fear of hiving it too
light , for , if It Is , the inspector will coni-
fiscalo the wagon. This law gives the
people good wplght and Indigestion , It's
not my builnna , of course , and I'm not
complaining I don't eat It but I'm wrlUng
my Imprrfesloua.
Some people argue that the value of
money can't bo Ilxcd bv legislation. These
Canadians could do It. They can make
brcid by law , suppress the Sunday paper and
the poor man's carriage the trolley and
more. They have made a pint 'bottlu hold
nearly a quart. You can empty seven
Kentucky half-pints into It without miking
It fu'I. You can't do that with a Kei > -
tucklan.
They have a vast amount of respect for
the law. After tliotr religion the Canadian
law teers to ho the Canadian' * long null.
cal 1 am only giving tht condensed taatl-
mony of a number of people of the Dominion
when I say they do not trust each other , us
a rule. In a business way , but want It "in
black and white. "
They have that high regard for law that
Is English. A man who respects the law
Is a reasonably safe citizen , but above him
Us the man whose word Is law. Away out
In the hoary hills of the wild , wide west the
lawless west , as It Is sometimes called if
a man said , "I will bo hero at dusk tomor
row to help you open prayer meeting or
hold up the stage , " ho would be there. He
'respected his promise , which is finer a
thousand times thin to (13 a thing because
the law compels you to do' it.
SUPERIOR BANKING LAWS.
Amcng their best laws are the laws gov
erning their banking syetem. Their banks
are as far ahead of ours as'thelr pint bottles
arc. This subject may be dismissed with the
simple but broad statement that Canadian
banks never fall. Two have gone Into liqui
dation here within the past twenty years ,
but the depositors were paid In full. A pres
ident or stockholder is responsible for twice
HB SANG SOFTLY AS HE WRECKED MY TRUNK.
the amount of his stock. With us a man
wilfully wrecks a bank and goes driving in
the park behind the best team in town while
the depositors go to the asylum , to Jail and
to the morgue.
You can buy anthracite coal here as cheap
an you can buy It in Pennsylvania. It costs
50 cento a ton less than it costs In the cap
ital of the country that produces It and the
trust that controls It. A choice cut of beet
ccfita the Canadian a York shilling , 12'/i '
cents , Just half as much Is It costs In a real
live town In the United States.
Two things I have observed in Canadian
towns that are very creditable to the Cana
dians. First , the cozy , cheerful llttlo homes
of poor men , with pretty gables and grass
lawns ; second , the line church buildings , good
schools and splendid public libraries. I put
the homo first , for there begins the educa
tion and religious training' of men anif
women , at a mother's knee , and that brings
mo back to the blb'e. I taw four boys ; oang
men they were coming out of a bit of wood
ono Sunday afternoon , and somehow the
sight reminded me of the groups of negroes
that I used to ECO poking round the Potomac ,
squatting now and then for a quiet
game of "craps , " and I wondered what these
young fellows had been about. The worst
I had accused them of In my mind was of
having been swimming In the Thames , but
when they passed rnc I saw that ono of them
carried a morocco-bound bible under hs ! arm.
Yes , the Canadians as a whole arq good
Christian people , and they "put a power of
stcro by It , " and yet I would not advlso the
stranger to put all his chips on that point.
In England , the servant girl asks how much
beer money you allow. Hero the first ques
tion IB , "How many nights out ? " If you
bay she can't always go to early mass die
crosses herself , or If she be of another faith
sho'll bang her head and sigh , and say she
can't miss Sunday school , and , above all ,
she must go to church Sunday evenings. And
such long services ! Why , sometimes they
won't get home till almost midnight. Hut ,
with all their goodness , many of them do
not scruple to obtain money under false pre
tenses. They pretend to be servants when
they are not. The willing ones are often un
able to boll water without burning It , and the
unwilling onca won't. They are en bad as
ours.
A STERN RBALITY.
Winter Is a stern reality hero , but men
who have lived long In this cllmo say they
llko It. In winter they have a "charity"
woodpile , and free wood Id delivered to thoto
who can't buy , an ] BO they l.uow they won't
freeze , and that assurance makes people
about providing ( or themielr . It
ono town an alderman declared that the
man who had the contract to furnish wood
to the poor was giving them rotten birch.
The contractor tued. the alderman. When
the case was tried the alderman proved that
the wood was not only rotten , but that It
was short measure as well.
After all there la very little poverty here.
Even the poorest scarcely know what It Is
to be poor. Indeed , there Is little CXCUBO for
a man or a womna who can work. If you
want a man to chore about your place you
must pay $1.2 ! > a day , anj good domestics
ate as scarceas pie ici the Klondike. I
know of no place where "capital" Is so op
pressed by "labor. " I ought to explain that
you arc a capitalist here , n In the United
States , the moment you hire a tent and
employ ono Indian. Holidays are almost as
numerous hero as In England , where I have
seen the banks closed for four days at a
stretch ; and you arc nobody unless you
"vacate" In summer. The tanker and ttio
barber , the tailor and the typewriter , the
preacher and the policeman all have their
two-weeks' vacation , I firmly believe that
there are people who would "out" In aum-
mer at the risk of burning charity wood In
winter. That's my "Impression. "
I see a great many pacing horses , and
baibcrs , and bearded men In Canada. Cana
dians do not drers as "stylish" as men In
the same walks on the other side do. A
modest American fits In this part of America
without being either conspicuous or em
barrassed ,
Every agricultural town his Its market
days Tucsdajs , Thursdays and Saturdays.
Of course Saturday is the big day when all
the country folk who have anything to sell
come to town. During the morning the mar
ket space la crowded , and when they have
sold out they swarm through the streets , fill
the shops and carry home what they need
for the house. The Canadians are hcnaltlve.
Kipling wrote a beautiful poem , with a
lecurrlng reference to their beautiful snow ,
and since that day bait tbo poets and pant-
giaphura In the Dominion have taken u tall
out of the greitcbt Urlton living. Thtti how
shall I fare , who am not great not e\cn
British ?
After all , the people of Canada are very
llko the people of the United States. They
are vastly more like the people of Now Eng
land than the people of New England are llko
the people of Louisiana , Texas or Colorado.
ANNEXATION TALK SUBSIDES.
Five years ago one heard a great deal of
talk about annexation to the United States.
Thcro It very little of that talk now , and
there should be less. They have s good a
government a there U on earib , except the
English. Then why should they throw 'them '
selves Into the open arms of the wily
politicians of the big republic ? The Lord
knows wo have all we can handle. A few
narrow minded Canadians , whoso knowledge-
of the United States ends at Detroit , Cleve
land or ( Buffalo , affect to dcuplso us , and
a few "rustlers" on our sldo want to burn.
"U. S. " on the flunk of the dominion , but the
great mass of nilnd-yoiir-buslnesa men on
both sides want things to go on ns they aro.
Look at this man Laurler ! I want to
know If ho would suffer by comparison If
stacked up with the president of the United
States. You may say he's French , British ,
what you will , he's full of the stuff < hat
makes a good American. But he's off my
beat. After all , premiers , lords , and other
eminent personages don't make u country.
It Is the man In the field who brings the
wheat to the mill , the farmer and his wife
who stand all day In the market place in the
nun and rain ( "All the winds of Canada call
the ploughing rain" ) that make a country
great.
Some of these farmer people are a honest
and quaint na quakers , and as guileless as
children. If the farmer la poor , ho seeks
neither to parade nor dlsgulso his poverty.
I wish I could reproduce a scene that took ,
place In a ehoo ebop ono day In u Canadian
town. To make It plain , you should have a.
picture of the bent , gray-haired salesman ,
who went forward rubbing his hands as
though they wore cold , bowing and beaming
on the big farmer who came In slowly fol
lowed by his wife and three or four children.
When they had spent a quarter of an hour
fitting and pricing a pain of stiora for
"Ed'ard , " the woman put them down , olglied ,
and walked toward the door. "They could
not afford such expensive shoes , " she said.
"Well , lady , " tild the old ralesman , earn
estly , "they ain't no place yojcan git *
better boot than this for GO cents. "
She " 'lowed" eho could , but finally bought
'tho shoes.
Then the farmer began the work of Delect
ing a pair for himself , and hero Is where
the frank , Innocent , child-talk took place.
The old ualciman olid tha ladder along the
wall , hesitated , drummed upon a shoe box
with the ends of his fingers , turned suddenly
to the customer and at > keJ : "Do you want
'em for biat ? "
"Well at first yes , then after , of course ,
I'll take 'cm fur every day. "
