A P. E. Islander. Dan Mathleson, Prom near Dundas. proposed the nest feasible plan. He procured sev- eral lengths of six inch steel pipe in Dawson (distant 12 milest, which the Yukon Gold Co. had taken Inside for hydraulic mining pur- woses.

The ,olergy of the city were a fine set-of men - very friendly. and talkative. The Presbyteriln min- isters in my time were Rev. John Pringle D. D., ,Rev. Mr. Sinclair and Rev. Mr. Fraser. Reverends Pringie and Sinclair were native Prince Edward Islandrs. Rev. Mr. Fraser was 9. Nova Bootian. There was always 0. great bond of sympathy between Msrltimera. I suppose it was due to similarity of environ- ment in youth and in ounitways of life". It may taoetiousiy and with s. tinge of contempt be called "clan- nishruees" but there are numerous and logical reasons, perhaps not ap- parent to tbs casual observer. We would have to be re-incsrnated to eliminate the friendly feeling be- tween Maritimers when meeting in far away places. i g

The Roman Catholic clergy were Belgian and Flemish. They seemed harder to get acquainted with in- timatoly - no doubt due to early upbringing in language and cus- toms. There were only two oi! them to supervise and attend to the spit- itual needs of a large congregation. and also the large St. Mary's hos- pital. I met the Belgian priest again in Northern 13.0. at the Indian vil- large of Hakelgaat on the Buckley near New Hazeiton. He also had a mission about fifty miles distant among the Indians of the Babine river district.

The late much lamented Arch- bishbp Stringer of the Episcopal congregation was a most pleasant conversationaiist. with a deep sense oi humor. He had a lesser degree in the hierarchy of the Anglican

The usual greetings were exchanged by signs. The na- tive had a hole in the side of his face through which a large molar tooth protruded. He could juggle the Jaw so as the flesh would cover the tooth. He kept oonsten y flip- ping the big tusk in and out of the hole in his race, thereby showing his superior ability-as he thought. The missionary saw the humor of the situation and st the same time thought of his set of false teeth. He slipped them out quickly with a click of the tongue at the same time. and put them back Just s quickly. The big savage was crest- fallen. He seemed actually to have dwind-led in size. 1-Us height ap-

”We all play many parts . . . but few of us ever play a role more important than that of the Good Provider. My own everyday role of lawyer constantly brings home to me the importance of providing for the future. And I know of no other way of doing it than some form of saving.
