Did 'he vex the uous politician fails to learn in a whole lifetime. Molyneux St. John waited stoically until the Stats real- ized it could not get along without him, that he was an indispensable cog in the machine, and that he niust get the right motor impulse, Offielal circles were charmed, fashionable Ot- tawa was enraptured. Here was a Black Rod that knew his book -- a true successor of the illustrious Kim- ber! Society was saved again. But would he carry off the actual duties of the position with grace and unc- tion? Would his bows have the same distinction as Kimber's, the pame admixture of Oriental obeisance with Anglo-Saxon rederve? Expectation was at fever height. . It is not too much to say that Molyneux St. John justified the high- est hopes, says the brilliant Ottawa correspondent of The Toronto Star. From the time his gavel sounded on the door of the Commons to the time he backed out amidst' the fran- tic cheers of the members of Parlia- ment, he pleased the eye and satis- fied the senses. How well he looked in his swallowtdil and black smalls, his hose and slippers with silver buckles! What a fire front of chest! What a poise to those shoulders! What a suave swell to those calves! Put a powdered wig on that dome of thought and you find a gentleman of the eighteenth century! Gallagher of Dritish Columbia, who stands six feet four in his Boots, swore audibly that every man with a figure ought to wear knickerbodkers. Ft was. the general opinion of the House of Com- mots that, take Molyneux St, John as he stood and he was a direct. re futation of the slander that modern men wear long pants because they hive spindle shavks. It was also freely stated that for a good appear- #nce in the shafts and a fine high stepping action, the new Usher of the Dlack Rod had Rene Kimber faded so as to look like twenty-eight ceiits and two cents over. Then the gallant way he bore that black rod! Jt was truly a pleasure to 866 him. Rene Kimber was a small man, and the clothes that went with the black rod always seemed to be bigger than the man himself, in this way the rod suffered an abatement of digrity. It reminded irreverent 'peo ple of a poker. But Molyneux St. John bas all that. In his tase he adorns and fills out the costume, 8nd the costume, worn bravely, gives the rod new import- ance. Tt was thus and so, we fwa- fine. that Charlemagne toyed with is good sword Joyeuse, Orldndo with his Durandal, and King Arthur with his Excalibur. No meaningless symbol this black rod now. Dut the bow! We must get to that. The bow is the best card.

" RALPH CONNOR." London Chronicle Says Canadian Novelist Newds Larger Outiosk en Life The London Chronicle sits down to reading of Ralph Conner' book, 'The Men from Glengerry," with an unbiased mind, and this is the result: There are now two Canadian no velists who have attained large cir culabions. One of them is Mr, Gil- bert Parker, the oiler is the author who writes under the pem-name of "Ralph Conmor."" Of the latter's novels, "The Sky Pilot" is in its sixth. Engitsh edition, his 'Black Rock" in its fifth. Mr. Parker has found splendid back-groonds for his -Freneh Ceonnds, while Mr. Conlior's canvases reflect certain as- pects of English: Canada. But as literary artists the two men are not in the saine class. Long ago Mr. Parker moved into the front rank, but what one sees in Mr. Connor's work is promise rather than per formance. in places "The Man from Glengarry' is good, and holds out the promise of better things in the future, but there are in it long and dreary flats, so to speak, that are devoid of any vital interest whatsoever, The first two chap ters are far the best in the book, depicting with vigor and effect the primitive passions of an Ottawa lumber camp. "The Man from Glengarry' is de soribed on the title page as a "Tale of Western Canada," put, as as mat- ter of fact, only the last eighty pages of the book, which contains in all 440, have anything to say re garding Western Canada~--and by that term Mr. Connor means British Columbia. The main interest of the story lies in the pictures given us of Qlengarry itself. Glengarry is a strip of country running back from the St. Lawrence, and was known as the "Indian Lands'; it was once an Indian reservation, and it was settled by men of Highland blood in the early years of last cen~ tury. The hero of the story is a certain Rarald Macdonald, the son ol one of the Glengarry men. His in~ stincts are not unnaturally of the Pagan sort (the hard, ruthless, un lovely Berserker kind of Pagan, but he is captured and tamed by the wife of the Presbyterian minister of the small eommunityf He under- goes various relidious "experiences," by the ald of which he conquers a blood feud. He falls in love with hia employer's daughter--by whom in the end he is jilted, but he finds compensation in a girl friend of hers. The story, as a story, is bald enough, but, as has already been suggested, it is not Without some redeeming featires. When Mr. Con- nor has reached 4 wider outlook, on fife he will undoubtedly write a bet- ter book. Effect of Lord Dufferin's Mission Lord Differin's mission to Canada was distinguished by the inculeation of respect and admiration for Canada by Canadians. His Excellency fitted the public mind with an idea of thie country both as to its present great ness and to its splendid future that until his arpival had not been enter tained, Along with this valuable leadership Casada received from him oa new view of the Imperial relations, He showed that servility and inde- pendence were not our part in the union, but on the contrary, We Were destined to be an independent asso cinté nation, claiming and enjoying equal rights with other British com- munities, Lord Dufferin spefit six and a hall years with us and trav- ersed Canada from end to end, des lighting the people with his genius and inspiring them by his oratory.
