The time htm come when it l far
more beaiit'ilul to live or one's
kountry. To live is often harder
tl.an to die. To face the lautrhter
and jeer of influential people often
demands a hiKher grade of courage
than to face the guns on the battle
field. Tea'e hath her victories no
leas renowned than war,' as Milton
long ago declared, and the patriotism
which our nation is most in need
of is not the thought of foreign inva
sion, but the patriotism which is
willing to make sacrifices in order
that our civic and industrial and so
cial life may be put on eounder foun
dations. If a limn Joves his coun-

ETTER BE A LIVE PATRIOT.

hundred yards wide, due to the fact of
the SasKutcnewan mver cnanging us
course and emptying into Cumber
land Lake, thence down Cumberland
Creek back to its old bed, and the
roar of the river rolling the rocks
down the bed of the river was terrif-
fic. A little further down I ran
across a 'bunch of Indians who told
me about some silver water run
ning out of the rocks on the banks
of the river, so I went and had a look
at it. It was pure quicksilver. A
drop would be squeezed up then, would
roll down the smooth rock into the
swiftly flowing river. It would be
next to impossible to get it out to
civilization, so it was not much use
to anyone. After leaving the Cum

Mission. Here I met of the
Northwestern Mounted Police, a son
of an old friend of mine of early
police days, and was by him intro
duced to the Hudson Bay factor. I
had supper at his house and slept at
the Northwestern Mounted Police bar
racks and put all my supplies, canoe,
etc., in his warehouse, as tho In
dians here both male and female were
very light fingered. The day follow
ing my arrival the factor called me
into his house and made me the fol
lowing proposition: Would I take
charge of a York boat, and he would
give me a couple of Indians or breeds,
and take it down to Chimeyhawin. I
could put my Peterborough canoe on
board and my supplies and a -load of
hay for the compuny and he would
grub us. I jumped at the offer. It
would savo me paying for a guide,

Factor at this post was a Bachelor
of Arts and a graouaie ci vamui
University, England, a through
gentleman, and cracking good com
pany. There I enjoyed the luxury of
a bath, shave, etc., a comfortable bed,
'tween sheets and fine meals and we
found we knew many people' in the
west and back in England mutually.
He put a full crew into the York
boat the full crew consisted of six
teen men rowing the big sweeps,
eight to each side, two men attended
the sails and the helmsman stood up
on a kind of a poop-deck at the stem
and stered with a long sweep. The
boat at a distance looked like some
of the old pictures of the ancient
Norsemen's war galleys.
