Mr. Archer Baker Represents C.P.R. Across the Big: Pond. Not all Canadians are aware of the magnitude of the business done in Europe by Canadian financial con: cerns--banks, railways, ete. The London office of fhe C.P.R., for exam- ple, is a very bustling place indeed, and it is interesting to note how this company's business has expanded in twenty-four years, and to learn some thing of the man who overlooks it. In 1885 Mr. Archer Baker, then gen- eral superintendent of the' eastern diyision of the C.P.R., was sent to England to open up business for the road in Great Britain and~Europe. An office was rented in Liverpool, and its staff consisted of one clerk and an office boy. Now Mr. Baker is Euro pean manager of the company, which has its own Atlantic steamers run- ning from Liverpool, Antwerp, Bris- tol and London to Canadian ports. He is chief of a palatial establish- ment in Trafalgar Square, London, with an army of clerks, 'and head- quarters for an organization of 2,000 offices and agencies all over the Brit- ish Isles and Europe. Mr. Baker was born in the English city of York in 1845" and commenced railroad work in London in 1860. But a short ex- perience there satisfied him, and he resolved to try his fortune in Canatla As to How he prospered we may take his own words, as they are quoted by a writer in The Idler: "] borrowed the money to pay my second-class passage; I promptly sailed from Liverpool in the paddle steamer. Scotia for New York. From that place 1 made my way to Mont- real. finding the ice just broken up in the Bt. Lawrence, the only means of transit from the south being by ferry, which I took. Up to this point I had clung faithfully to the symbol of civilization, as exemplified in the ordinary top hat, which I quickly dis- carded, finding it somewhat unsuited to the only occupation which present- ed itself at the moment--a job where, for $16 a month, I had to be 'handy man' in general, sweepi out the store and cleaning the windows being two of the lightest of my tasks. In- side of a year, 1864, 1 was fortunate enough to obtain a position in the Allan Steamship Co., where I remain- ed until 1869. During this time there was the attempted invasion of Canada by the Fenians and the trial of the St. Albans raiders; the latter, a party of Southerners who raided the St Albans Bank, fled to Canada, and were subsequently © arrested and brought to trial: My duties took me to Portland, Maine, UBS.A., in winter, which the Allan 'steamers made their port of call during that period of the year. At that time, 1862 to 1866, the Civil War was in progress I was thgre when it finished, at the time of President Lincoln's assassina- tion, and had the pleasure of meet- ing many of the prominent men of the day, Generals Grant and Sher- man, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and others: and had the good fortune to hear Charles Dickens give his last readings in America. have reason to remember the Civil War, because 1 found it necessary at Montreal to get my certificate of nationality sign- ed .by the then Governor-General, Lord Monck, to avoid the eonscrip- tion, which was draining the best of the voung men of the country away to take part in the struggle." In 1870 he returned to Canada and Brockville and Ontario Railway. In 1878 he had risen to the position of general manager of this road and of the Canada Central Railway. In 1881 he went to the C.P.R. as eastern su erintendent, with the result already stated. A Roof-Top Dog. There is a dog in the city of Te- ronto that lives on a roof. The roof is two storeys above the ground. When he wants to get any exercise he just steps out of his window, which is on the third storey of a certain bhiilding on Yonge street, close to the corner of King and Yonge streets, and takes a walk aeross the roof of the next building, which happens to be only' two storeys high It so happens that the people who own this dog occupy the rooms on the top storey above a candy storé, and a billiard parlor. Up there they pcaok their meals, wash and iron, and sleep. In fact, it iz hope for them, and home for the dog. The troubles is that they can't very well take him out for a walk -at the adjacent cor- ner, because it is not a healthy place for Alogs owing to street cars and bi- cyetles and other troublesome things that were made without any refer- ence to dogs at all. So this dog sel- dom gets out. Once in a while he is led down the two flights of stairs to the ground floor and taken out for a walk, but that is usually on Sun- days. Other times when he wants the air he climbs out the window on to the roof and parades around in solitary glory among the chimney pots, From his roof garden he is able to. see down into the backs of shap# 'where the packing cases are put and whence the waste paper of the stores is taken by the garbage men. He can see also the back windows of a bil- liard parior. He stays. out quite" a length of time some days, and seems 'enjoy the situation without the slightest annoyance: from vertigo when he looks over the edge oi his promenade. All he wants more dogs; he's fond of company. to is Absentminded Traveler. \ well-known Toronto cigar travel- er. one of the best known in the trade, zot on a Belt line car, Toronto, and on paying his lare asked for a trans- fer to a Bloor west car.
