Suppose you were required le gally to identify yourself as Richard Roe how would at it You would of course bring forward people who bad known you for years the re cord of your birth the statements of parents or relatives It looks as if it would be a very easy thing for any man to satisfy ihe law that he is him self But it isnt If the law de manded full proofs of identification not more than one man out of five could furnish Take any ten of the most prominent men in the United States today and it would be the work of weeks and weeks for them to furnish indisputable proof thai they had a legal right to the names they bear There was a legal story in the papers a few months ago relating the difficulties of an to some pro perty in Cincinnati He was twenty- eight years old had been known to a of people since childhood and yet it took him over two years lo prove that he was the person he claimed to be One day nearly a quarter a cen tury ago I awoke from a troubled sleep to find myself in a hospital ward in Philadelphia The nunc explain ed that I had been there two weeks The police bad found me on the at midnight unconscious and evidently the victim of a robbery I had been struck on the head with a the first two days I bad been like one During the nest five or si I babbled as craiy people often do I had at length come myself My head was as clear as a bell and I realized the uation in details It was one oclock in the afternoon when the nurse came over to me and talked for about five minute It was three oclock when the doctor and a detec tive came During the interval I had slumbered again The pressed his satisfaction that I bad through all right and added that the police had two men in cus tody who were suspected of my utailanti The detective had come to make some inquiries The man took out note book and pencil and begin Your name please I opened my lips to pronounce it but no word My name had gone from me I must have one of course but what was The officer was walling to write it down but could not give it to him Itll come to you in a minute after a queer look at the doctor Where do- you live when at home At Why at Where did I live The name of the place was on my tongue when he it suddenly went out of my mind nor could I recall it to save my life 1 took for a stranger said tho officer but perhaps youre a resl- dent of the city Can you tell Then the detective came again I could remember no more than before Name age home everything pre vious to the blow had gone from my memory I was sitting uri in bed and he drew me to the window and Does the street look Strange or familiar I I cant say Do cartiages cars and pedes trians interest you Anything novel in the sight I like to look He had hunted through my Cloth ing to find some clue but nothing was secured He said it appeared to him as if the garments had been made by a Tillage tailor My socks he was were home while my shoes were custom make He overhauled my tody for scats or marks but none was be found I fear I asked him ray age and his an swer rolled a great burden off my mind Weil the doctor and I are agreed that you are about if years old he replied You are a strong- healthy boy and after you get out of here I think everything will come back to you Dont worry about however I am sure I have got the two men who robbed you but of course they will be set at liberty As near as I can figure they took 14 from you I will come again in a few days and perhaps next time you can tell me more about it The newspapers got hold of the case and published full details but no one came in search of a missing boy When I was able lo ride out was taken around the city but nothing was either strange or familiar One day the doctor pronounced different names in hopes he might strike my family name but if it was among iliem I did not remember il He went through the list of given names but all were strange to me Among the callers at the hospital lo see me was a wealthy old who had become interested in ihe case from a scientific standpoint When ready leave ihe hospital he offered me a temporary home and I accepted He had a fine home on the Germantown road and I was re ceived into the family- tie gave me a name after I had been called it five or six times it was as fami liar as if I had always borne it From the very first day he making experiments and tests When I saw a harp in the house it was an object of curiosity It was the same with a music box and many other argued from this that I had been brought up in some small vil lage In some things I was like a child in others as far advanced as the average boy For instance they had to explain ihe working of a lawn mower to me I could not under stand about the gas and fixtures I had never seen a frescoed ceiling Speaking tubes were novelties On the other hand I proved that I had a good common school education 1 could relate the history of the coun try as I must hive learned it from a book and I named all the presidents up to the one then in power but the minute asked a question re lating to anything Back of the day I woke up in the hospital I was utterly My good friend published adver tisements in fifty different newspapers but the results were disappointing lie received hundreds of letters and first and last at least people came to sec trie Some came from idle curiosity while others were in search of lost and hoped to me As a matter of fact I was iden tified eight or ten times but there was always a screw loose somewhere They would refer to some particular mark or scar and then fail to find it Among those who came was a woman who kept a highway tavern a few miles south of lAnwe- I felt sure I had seen her face before but could not remember when or where Her voice gave me a thrill and for a mo ment it teemed at If memory was coming back This woman said I had come along the highway from Hamsburg and stopped at her ion over night I was on foot and had my clothing in a satchel She had suspected me of being a- runaway and bad asked many I bad told her that I was point to Philadel phia but had not ner where I came from She kept a regitter but I had put down my name- She ibought have been walk ing for several days as feet were blistered and she gave me to use She talked a good deal about leading hex to be lieve I intended 10 go to I have already felt sure this woman properly identified me bui her story only proved the theory of the police that I was a stranger in Philadelphia At end of eighteen months my guardian died- When I tell you I had been quite content with my you will think it curious I could get up no Interest the past When they told me the year was I took as a suiting point When they said I had parents and friends and home somewhere it was talk ing of something ibat had happened thousands of miles away By the advice of friends I set out to estab lish my identity I cant say that I felt much interest in the matter I bad a name Why search for an other I purchased a horse and look the highway for Lancaster The road was totally strange to me When I reached the inn kept by the woman there was a dim feeling that I had Seen the place before Her looks and words called up a some thing but I could not work it out She was very anxious to aid me and after a tittle talk sbe said You had on Ihe second floor See if cannot go up and identify it I walked up stairs turned to the left walked down the ball four doors and entered at the filth The room did riot look familiar but shede- it was the one I thai She then asked me to enter the and See if I could re call my place at the table had oc cupied the same place at Supper and breakash went Straight 10 foot of the long table- said was right raking the inn as a point of departure so to speak I went on to Lancaster and cal culated that I must have walked from twentyfive to thirty that Jay just out of found where a boy had put up one night about twenty months before They the incident several reasons Before going to bed he told about seeing a dead the highway The horse belonged to the landlord- A drunken set the hotel barn bo fire- and the was the first to See it They had heard of the boy in Philadelphia and believed him to be the but bad never written I had grown elder and stouter and they not me but I have no doubt- stopped there I had probably come through but from what direction I rode nOrtbYeasrpnd west for a distance of fifty miles and return Thirty miles up the river I stopped at a farmhouse over night AssoonsI told my story the far mer laughed and exclaimed to his wife Why we remember that boy as plain as day 1 He stopped here for dinner and our dog drove Rim up a cherry tree in and he hollered like a good feller Yes we thought it was a runaway but he didnt ask no questions about it I had come from the north then but I followed the road- clear to Williamsport and tiled to strike an other clew I might have come down the a long distance by road or raft or come into the river road by some of the highways I continued the search for a year In that lime I rode several thousand miles on horseback in northern Penn sylvania and New York I had the help of at least newspapers and pedlars and agents travelling over the country distributed my circulars out nothing came of it Plenty of theo ries Some contended that my people lived on a farm up in the moutains of Pennsylvania and did not lead the papers but all farming implements were new and strange to me Some said I ran away from home and others that I had my parents consent to Some con tended that my parents had been killed by accident or taken away by death others that were glad to get rid of me Perhaps the chief of police of Philadelphia was nearer than any when he said think theres provetly back of it somewhere I you were an orphan with a perhaps he put you up to leave home for his benefit If you had parents or bro thers or sisters they would have been heard from ere this I gave up all hope years ago am myself- and yet I am someone else I am two beings with two names and two identities In a legal sense I am nobody I could not prove that the who started from Philadelphia from somewhere ever had existence Charles Lewis in Sun show the world the extent and 1 satisfied you would get large number manufacturing industries and of emigrants who now in Un natural resources Canada of course had not the means to western states Smith New Poaches PROVIDED 11 READERS FOR MAKE THE GORGEOUS DISPLAY which these old European countries have made but Canada has done Her exhibits are a fair index lo the wonderful natural resources and manufacturing industries of the coun try They could have been made fc The cotton crop in more extensive and many times is said to be better lhao it has bet more attractive but with the limited for 20 years means at the disposal of the Canadian authorities at the Worlds Fair it is marvellous what has been accom plished A at ttio vTorida Fair The which Canada is reap and will more largely reap in the near from the magnificent dis play she has made at the Worlds Fair is not fully realised by most Can- The Worlds Fair is little more than a gigantic advertising scheme Manufactured goods and natural products from the four corn ers of the earth are exhibited and million of dollars have been expend ed by every nation under the sun All this trouble and expense hat been undertaken by the different nations of the not lo make Chicagos ex position a success so much as to ad vertise the resources of their respec tive countries Germany estimates the value of her exhibits at In addition she has spent probably in erecting and embellishing her in the differ ent buildings The German State Building was erected at a cost of over France comes next with exhibits valued at over and the amount expended in the election of courts and In sitting up exhibits is estimated at over Our own mother country Great Britain is next in order with exhibit valued at something Victoria house the official headquarters of the British cost over All this immense outlay of money by these foreign powers was made to Although Canada is just across an imaginary boundary line and not more than a days travel from Chicago it is astonishing to note how little the people who come to the Worlds Fair from different parts of the United States know about our country The utter AMAZEMENT WHICH EXPRESS when the the range and excellence of our dislpay shows how much Canada has yet to do in order to give the great mass of the Ameri can people even a comprehensive idea of the resources of the country It cannot reasonably be expected that Canada will ever be able to secure advantageous trade relations the United Slates until the bulk electorate in this country reat- that Canadians have something to offer in return for any trade con cessions they may make us It is all very well to argue that public men in the United Stales know well com mercial value of Canada but it must be remembered lhat public men in this country are much the same as public men of country They are elected to office by the people and are compelled to catty put lo a greater or less extent a policy which is accord with public sentiment Now the public of the United States are GROSSLY IGNORANT OF CANADA and have by their newspapers been educated up to the belief that all Canadians favor annexation and are only prevented from openly declaring their desire through fear of- Great Britain So long as Canada occupies such a position in estimation of the people of the Untied States iljs scarcely possible to expect that ihy will consent to then Government ex tending to us any broad and liberal trade concessions The display Canada has made at this Exposition is doing more lo the American public about Can ada and her commercial value than any other scheme that could be devised One has Only to keep his ears open here to notice the marked change in the way in which Canada is spoken of by AMERICANS WHO VISIT THE FAIR and examine the Canadian courts They come expecting to see fine aggregation of furs a crude exhibit of agricultural products and a few primitive specimens of manufactured goods They go away marvelling at what they have seen and astonished that they never before heard that Can ada could produce such a variety of natural products and manufactured articles They expected to see the products of a country too far north to produce anything but a few lines of grains and find the exhibits of the most favored grain growing western states contain neither the variety nor quility of Canadas display Our showing of last years fruits in the Horticultural building has been a GREAT SURPRISE TO EVERYONE- People from the southern slates and California look incredulous when they are informed that the fruit exhibited was grown in Canada The result of the Worlds Fait cannot be otherwise than the greatest national advertise ment Canada ever had Not only the people of the United States being interested hut representatives from the other British colonies Ger many France Sweden and other European countries are constantly seeking information about Canada and her resources Showing the interest which foreign ers are taking in our country one of the callers upon Executive Commis sioner today was Prof Singer of the University of Vienna He is so interested in our display at the Fair that he has decided to make a tour through Manitoba and the Territories to enquire into the resources of the country preparatory to taking up land He INTENDS STARTING A LARUE FARM and sending one of his own relatives from Austria to manage it He will also at the request of the Austrian Government an extensive re port of the result of his Mr R professor of agricul ture in the University Grignon in Paris expresses unbounded admira tion of our exhibits and has left Chi cago to visit Manitoba and the North- West to examine into the resourses of the country and to obtain material for a lengthy report which he will sub mit to the French Government Mr Wagner a wealthy capitalist of Copenhagen Denmark was one of the callers at the Canadian javilion a few days ago Speaking of Canada and Canadas exhibits he remarked that the exhibits in all branches were the finest he had ever seen but he said How is it that Scandinavians do not more largely to your country The climate conditions are more suitable than they are in United States and if what you tell me about cheap homesteads for set tlers is true the only reason can suggest for the failure of our people to take advantage of the opportunities offered them and seitle in Canada is because they know absolutely nothing about the country I am as intelli gent as the average Dane and I must confess that until I came to Chicago I thought your country tntensly cold in winter and little mote than a good hunting ground in summer Why dont your Government do to let the Danish people know what it like If you did I am Three robbers stole from a merchant at Wichita on
