MONA—THE ISLE. OF MAN |

(hue of the most romantic places in
the British Empire is the Isle of Man.
The Romans gave it the - beautiful
nume of Mona. Situated in the Irish
sea, equidistant from Engtand, Ireland
und Scotland, it has an area of 227
square miles, or a little better than
one-tenth that of Prince Edward Isi,
idea population of 50,000. Douglas is
the capital. .The Manr language, now
nimost extinet, is a dialect of the Celtic

For three centuries Mona was un-
cor Norgegian rule until Alexander III
defeated the famous King Haco at
iaives in 1263 and all the western isles
ineluding Man,’ fell under Scottish rule
On the accession to the British throne
‘toovy TV seized the islund’ and be-
avell it in 1406 on the Stanley fam-
ily. In 1887 the Crown purchased it
* os about two million dollars. Half a
pilin people spend their snmmer hol-
tdays in Mona. At one time the Manx

It is difficult to say how many na-
tives of the Isle of Man or people of
Manx origin there are in Canada.
There are many thousands. The peo-
ple of a small. country must emigrate,
and Manx folk are found in surprising
numbers, especially in the United

Fortunately .or. nniortunately — the

He ‘assured us in all, spincerity that he

dollar road appropriation was to be
made, But, he said, we have got them
beaten at every other point. He told
us to spend the week end preparing fl
story of his victory over all comers.
Of course Sydney, being 4 former pa-

believe we would ‘do’ any such thing,
but. at that, more surprising things. iti
