They put to shame all our philqosophizing, all our speculaâ€" tion. We see, and in a flash we know. We have our moment of visior, and we see that we are, after all, rather fine; that there is something in us that will endure after the earth has cooled to a lonely, desolate cinder, spinning in empty space. He who respects others is constant ly respected by them. Tam: ‘*‘Do you think your freends will recognize ye in heaven, Sandy *‘ ‘"‘There was love,there, and kindâ€" ness, and a patient acceptance of a hard destiny. The man plainly had not had an easy time of it.. Plainly he had been hungry, had known the tragedy of poverty at eclose range. The lines of his face held no expresâ€" sion of hope. . Yet, in spite of all these things, there was no sign of discouragement or surrender. _ This submerged fragment of â€" humanity knew he could never rise; yet he was note quite beaten. Had the world trodâ€" den on him and broken him? Very well; here was a package tied with red \trmg for an answer. The little boy at home would have a birthday regardless. ‘*‘And, as the shabby little man stood waiting for his package, tied in the gay red string, there was a look on his face that somehow made at least one onlooker feel that life had dropped a rare, revealing hint. The man was not just a poorlyâ€"paid workâ€" ingman, squeezing his purse to proâ€" vide two dimes for a pathetic little gift for some chubby youngster at home. He was a symbol; a mamfesâ€" tation, mean yet heroic, of that qualiâ€" ty in humanity which provides eternal proof of man‘s fitness for a better world. ‘*‘Could you tie a coloured around it? It‘ll be a birthda ent."*" ‘*At length he selected twoâ€"a red motor bus and a blue roadster. He gave the salesgirl his two dimes with care, as if he were afraid he might drop them and lose them under the feet of the swirling impatient crowd about him. And as the girl took the toys to put them in a paper bag he leaned forward and, with the suggesâ€" tion of an apologetic smile, asked her : ‘*So ‘he took his time as he seanned the toys in the fiveâ€"andâ€"ter. He passed up the painted rubber balls, the jumpmg jacks and the glass teleâ€" phones that held candy, without a second glance. The mouth organs and popguns likewise failed to interâ€" est him. But the tray of tiny, castâ€" iron autos ‘held his attention.

He says he has dedicated his remaining days to the conservation of game, fish and reforestation. _ He nows spends over $6,000 annually on feed for wild geese and other migratory birds.

These birds mated on the Miner sanctuary in 1908, since when Mrs. Johnson thas laid six eggs each spring, and raised her broods. So the lady is at least 20 years old, and it is a peculiar fact that this year she elebrates by increasing her ‘‘setting‘‘ to seven eggs! to Lake Erie, and from the lake to his ponds. In fact The Globe repre:â€" sentative enjoyed the experience of "tagging‘‘ wild geese. One hundred and sixtyâ€"seven were tagged in one batch of 180 that had been deftly trapped. The other thirteen already bore tags placed upon their legs in previous years by Mr. Miner and his sons. "Jack Miner, the Kingsville natuâ€" ralist and conservationist, is celebratâ€" ing his sixtyâ€"third birthday toâ€"day. He doesn‘t look his age, and appaâ€" rently doesn‘t feel it. Yet he has spent 43 autumns in succession camping in the Northern woods, from Lake Keeâ€" pawa, Quebec, to Lake of the Woods, Ontario. In addition he makes several trips each summer to the Norâ€" thern woods, including Algonquin Park. He knows fish and game condiâ€" tions in Ontario. *A member of The Globe staff was privileged to spend last weekâ€"end at Jack Miner‘s home and saw both eveâ€" ninzg and morning of 5,000 (estimated) wild geese from his ponds Some of the people of this North Land have had the pleasure of meetâ€" ing Jack Miner, the noted natureâ€" lover, at his home at Kingsville, Onâ€" tario, but in any event all here who are interested in wild life and its preservation feel that they know Jack Miner and that he is their personal friends. Accordingly, references to Mr. Miner â€"and his work are always of interest. In Tuesday‘s Toronto Globe the following article appeared relaâ€" tive to Jack Miner and his work in feeding the wild geese on their way to the North :â€" JAGK MINER FEEDING 5000 WILD GEESE DAIlY Wfigonloads of Corn Being Used, but? risk to the fliers.â€"Toronto Globe.

A. M. E., will mean to the mineral future of Canada. With the largest army of experienced prospectors ever organized and placed in the field in the history of the world, one does not need to draw on his imagination ; all he needs is common sense and a slight knowledge of Canada‘s wonderful North to realize the infinite possibilities of this organization. A limited number of shares of the first issue of the company‘s stock is available and subscriptions will be filled in the order in which they are received. The company reserves the right to reject the whole or any portion of any subscription received. Every base will be in constant touch, through radio, with every unit of the service. It will not be possible for any plane or party to be lost track of or out of touch with its base for any length of time. In fact, in the head office at Toronto and in the acrial headquarters at Winnipeg the location of every party and plane will be known through daily reports. In this manner the entire organization will be conducted along lines similar to those of a great railway organization. Captain Oaks, director of acrial operations, will use a special plane for keeping in touch with the air fleet, and this plane will also be used by the managing director for general supervision of the entire organization in the field. Another special plane will be used for the general engineering staff. SCOPE OF COMPANY‘S OPERATIONSâ€"Some conception of the area in which the company will be carrying on operations during the coming summer can be had from the fact that the company‘s larger planesâ€"the five Fokkers under orderâ€"have a cruising range of 2,000 miles, and the smaller planes have a cruising range of 500 miles, and can get in or out of any "pot hole" lake., It is the company‘s intention to establish four bases from which the planes wi‘l operate, with at least two planes to a base. From each of these bases the management expects to have ten parties of prospectors operating over a wide radius, as two planes can completely take care of such a number. Each base will have a staff of piiots, mechanics, and one head prospector, who will also be a qualified sampler and compeâ€" tent to lay out surface development work. There also will be an enginecring and geological field staff. MANAGEMENTâ€"The, President and Managing Director has had the benefit of long experience in Northern mineral fields, covering a period of over twenty years, and his successful personal prospecting, organizing of prospectirg parties and developing prospects to a stage where they mines is so well and favorably known that it is unnecessary to go into details. PLACING 40 PARTIES IN THE FIELDâ€"Since the organization of the company, several carloads of gasoline, oil and supplies, including heavidr equipment, have been ordered and will be taken down the several rivers on the spring floods to the bases which the company is establishing. This will leave the planes free to quickly convey prospectors and staff to the various district headquarters, where they can commence work so much earlier without being encumbered with the transporting of heavy gear and supplies. f l Every prospector engaged will be an experienced man who is well known to the company. The aerial division of the company will be manned only by men equally competent in their end of the work. Purpose, Management and Future of the Company BUSINESSâ€"The company has been formed for the purpose of thoroughly exploring for and developing the rich natural resources of Canada; of organizing the business of exploration and developing natural resources; and of bringing the modern, highâ€" powered and completely proven irplane into active service for the purpose of prosâ€" pecting for, acquiring, examining, exploring, testing, developing, operating and disposing of Gold, Silver, Copper, Nickel, Lead, Zinc, Iron, Coal and other precious, semiâ€"precious and base metal properties, and for the purpose of exploring for, prosâ€" pecting, developing, operating and disposing of other natural resources, including Oil, Pulp, and Timber Lands and Hydroâ€"Electric Power, in the explored and unexplored portions of the Dominion of Canada and elsewhere. head ofice or through your broker â€"Orders for Shares may be placed through your broker Price $50.00 Per Share the (Govern Limited ments should first ask for a referenâ€" dum. imagine a ecandidate in England would have difficulty in makâ€" ing the grade on the platform of setâ€" tling the private debts of any Afghan. â€"Toronto Mail Empire.
