LIVING UP TO WISTER. Spring house-cleaning seems have been the order of the day at Jackson, Wyoming A new despatch a few days ago re- ported that the' spring elections in Jackson resulted in a-two-to-one vic- tory for the all-woman ticket over the opposing all-man ticket rr Jackson's population is estimated at 300. It is seventy-five miles from "the railroad. The despatches are in- definite as to the issues, but the fig- ures would seem to indicate that the .voting-was not restricted to lines, or there would have been no two-to-one vote for women. The census shows a small percent- age of feminine population in the state--only six women to every ten | men. Yet Mrs. Henry Crabtree de- feated her husband. Jackson was the town which Owen Wister immortalized in "The Vir- | President | ginian."

CanadaEast and West The Imposter Vignau On the 27th of May, 1613, Cham- plain, the great French explorer, set out from St. Helen's Island--opposite Montreal--an island he had named af- ter his wife, to whom he was devoutly attached, on a quest that had been set for him by the wild. stories told. in Paris by one Nicholas de Vignau. He told a wonderful story of having sail- ed up the Ottawa river to its source; then he had crossed a great lake and | ed the shores of the sea where he | found the wreck of an English ship whose crew had escaped to land only to be slain by the Indians. This sea was only seventeen days distant from Montréal. It was a wonderful tale and Champlain was ordered to make! the trip and verify it. i So he sailed from' St. Helens Is- | land with four Frenchmen, one of | whom was Vignau and one Indian, in two 'small canoes. They passed the swift current of St. Anne de Bellvue, | crossed: the Lake of Two Mountains | and continued up the Ottawa river. i Champlain was suspicious of the story from the beginning, and soon | he was confirmed that fis decision | was accurate. The way was hard and | difficult and there was no evidence | that a white man had been that way | before. They toiled on, however, day | by day along the river and through | the woods, camping wherever night | overtook them. Champlain question- | ed every Indian he met with regard | to the seas farther ahead but could | secure no information tRat seemed | to confirm Vignau's story told 'in| Paris. Conditions grew rapidly worse | until Champlain reached an Indian | settlement from which there seemed no progress farther into the land. He urged the chief to provide him with a | guide the brave was unwilling to do | so. The great Frenchman was con- | vinced that this was merelv a way | he had adopted to avoid telling the | explorer that his task was a vain one. So after a long pow-wow with the | Chief he charged Vignau with being | an impostor. He threatened to hang | him without mercy on the nearest | tree. Vignau then broke down and | confessed that the wonderful tale, with which he had thrilled Paris was'| without any foundation in fact and | that he had told it for the love of | notoriety and in the hope of rich. re- ward. The Chief begged Champlain | to permit him to deal with the in- | famous Frenchman, but Champlain | forgave the man and allowed him to On the 17th of June the party re- turned to Montreal where thev were greeted in great style by the Indians of the village, with discharges of | ruitless mission. FAMOUS QUOTATIONS AND THEIR ORIGIN | ment in regard to some one at some passed on to the north until he reach- 1 Do Not Love Thee, Doctor Fell, The Reason Why I Cannot Tell. Most of us have felt this senti- time. Without being able to give a definite reason, we sometimes take an instinctive dislike to a certain in- dividual. Sometimes reason later confirms instinct and sometimes not, but such a feeling is invariably Na- ture's warning to proceed with cau- tion. : The well known lines quoted above are from the works of Tom Brown (English 1663-1704). The complete stanza reads: "I do riot love thee; Doctor Fell, The reason why I cannot tell; But this alone I know full well, I do not love thee, Doctor Kell." But Tom Brown, although he has made the sentiment immortal for the |: English-speaking world, was not the originator. He merely put into a striking English form a thought that was expressed in literature by Martial, (Roman 40-102 A.D.) who | was the inventor of the modern form | of epigram. It is by no means cer- | tain, of course, that Martial origi- nated the thought. In the works.of this Roman writ- er, we find it expressed as follows: "I do not love thee, Sabidius, nor | can I say why; this only I can say, I do not love thee." | PILES Chase's Ointment will relieve you at inly you. 3 = Bina ete Oo Leia ¥ not sufte: enother day with > Protruding | Piles.
