CANADA CALLS A HALT. ‘What seems to be a_golar plexus blow to the effort for the St. Lawrence -canal development. in which this country would participate with Canada, has been deait by the decision of the Canadian premier that there will be mo treaty con- cerning it negotiated this year. > There have been estimates made but no ome knows what it will cost to com- plete the project. Indieations are that the figures mentioned are but a part of what will be required if the task is ever undertaken. Should the prelimirary work be completed it would not- provide for the service which the middle west section of this country fs seeking. Sentiment In the states about the lake reglon is strong for such an outlet to the sen and strong efforts bave \been made to get the necssary appropria- tion in this country to start it. Before such an international under- taking can be set on foot, even should it be possible to get the nosessary ap- propriation under present day condi- tions and the prevalent demand for an international understanding reached or treaty signed by the two countries. Efforts in that dirgction were made when it was declared that this country was ready to engage in such negotia- tions. Word that comes from Canada to\the effect that mothing of the kind can be done this year must serve as a wet blanket to the idea. It will disap- point many, even as Canada has disap- pointed ay cther times, but it will permif of a “unge; ursideration of the propos: tion from all angles, including ths cos and the results that can be expected as well as cne direction of Sue attention 1¢ the facilities that are already available within the boundaries of this country.

It is a Jong time since Abraham Lin- coin, died. but his name and decda have not been forgoiten and they would have been no chance of it had there heen no memorial erected for him at Washing- ton. Put it is customary for thiz coun- try to display its reverence for iis xreat men and it was only natural that there should be a fitting monument erected to his memory. That has now been done and the com- pleted memorial on the banks of the I'>- tomac will remaln with the centuries as another of the shrines for the patriotic and those true Americans who cannot fail to be inspired by the remarkable career of the country's great leader. Washington has many objects of at- traction but nome is going to receive more attention in the future than this conspicuous memorial containing the huge ltkeness in marble of the great emancipator. Beautifully located on the banks of the Potomac this tribute of the mation to Lincoln has its place In the fitness of things even though such a 0 it of of man bullt his own monument as he tG | lived. This memorial differs in form from those which have been erected for other great national figures, but it is of hand- some design and an impressive strue- ture, substantial without being too or- nate. Quite ficting was it also that the unveiling of this national tribute should be fixed for the day when the country memorializes its herole dead.

He is a nice fellow, but a college professor and a writer of such beautfful poetry is apt to be dreamy and absent-minded and not care particularly for dressing for meals.

He takes the children with him and that leaves my daughter to a calm and peaceful day, since the baby isn't much care.” 1 “It's a lovely baby,” cried Mrs, Flint. “I only wish my grandchildren were as angelic.” ‘My daughter makes it a rule that when he's asleep he shall be left un- disturbed,” said Mrs. Wilson. “And that usually works.

One of the prettiest romances among musicians was the devotion exhibited by Robert Schumann, the well-known musical composer, for Clara Josephine Wieck. who afterwards became his wife, and remained g devoted companion until his death. She assisted materially in making his compositions popular, for she was one of the most accomplished pianists of her age. Schumann met Clara Wieck when he was a mere youth and she was only thirteen years of age. He made his home with the family and studied mu- sic with Clara's father. The deep at- tachment lingered along until Schu- mann was seventeen, when he proposed marriage to Clara and was accepted. The father bitterly opposed the mar- riage, for he had higher plans:for his daughter than a marriage with a poor music pupil. When a consent was not forthcom- ing Schumann wrote to Clara as fol- lows: “I am quite clear aboit my heart, Perhaps your father will not refuse if I ask him for his blessing. Of course, there is much to be thought of and arranged. But I put great stress in our guardian angel. Fate always intended us for one another. I have known that for a long time, but my hopes were mnever strong enough to tell you and get your answer before.” A pleasant little incident, which took place a short time before the mar- riage,- s of interest as showing at once the thoughtfulness and the de- votion of Schumann. From musician to musiclan, especially ' when the re- ceiver was. o brilllant and accom- plished @ pianist as Clara Wieck, no gift from her lover could be more ap- propriate than a planoforte. This Schumann purchased for her and ar- ranged the arrival of .the instrument with the firm. The agreement was that at half- past 4 upon a certain day he would call to take his betrothed for a walk. Between that hour and 6 he requested that the instrument should be delivered at Clara's residence. The delight of #he girl may be imagined when she returned with her mother to find such @ suitable present awaiting her ac- ceptance. It can easily be conjectured that some delightful music followed and that the appropriate gift as well as the graceful way in which it was glven, was highly appreciated. Schumann was a great and gifted letter writer. In his epistles, rather than his speech, he poured forth his heart. He concluded several of his letters wih “Addio, carissima Clara, cara Clarissima.” He then told her in one of these: “We shall indeed lead a life of poetry and blossom, and we will play and compose together like angels, and bring gladness to mankine It is @ pity that the night to this happiness was to come so Soon for after @ few years the composer was stricken with a fatal brain disease which, in 1854, caused him to throw himself into the Rhine. Rescued by boatmen, he spent the last two vears of his life in a private asylum, Where he died at the age of for- ty-six. Schumann's letters have been collect- ed and published and the volume repre- sent some of the sprightliest and most readable of anything of its character. “These letters” wrote Madame Schu- mann, “form a2 beautiful and touching memorial, revealing all the treasurers of an ideal youthtul nature, strong and en- ergetic and filled with the highest alms and aspirations.” IN THE PUBLIC EYE Dr. Henry Suzzalo, Who js prominent- ly mentioned for the presidency of the University of California, a position soon to become vacant through the resignation of Dr. Barrows, is now president of the University of Washington, at Seattle.

Was it the icebox pan that made the trouble when you were ready to leave?” “No, we hadr't any ice for some hours before we left, so that was all right,” said Mrs. Wiison. “My daugh- ter had to go up the hill to leave th key with a woman who always watch- s our place all winter and tell her a few things, o she told George to fol- low the rest of us out of the house, lock the door and take the baby with him. The baby was asleep on the porch, so she told him to gather him up in his pillows and put him in the go-cart to roll him down to the wharf. The rest of us went on ahead and George obeyed orders and came along soon after, dangling the key and pul- ling the go-cart over the path. We stopped on the way to chat with a neighbor, so when we reached the boat there was. only ten minutes left be- fore we started. George lifted the baby out of the gocart and was start- ing on board when he gave a loud exclamation. There was nothing but pillows there, no baby!” “Goodness!” exclaimed old _Mrs. Dunbar. “Whatever did, you do?’ “It would have meant staying all night in the dismantled -house,” said Mrs. ‘Wilson with a laugh, “had it not been for my daughter, who came down the path in a moment, carrying that blessed child.
