took with them three Indian guides, a white cook, and 

 a squaw to cook for the guides. As their camp outfit

 really so, it is only another proof of Canada's vexa-

 It also proves how short-sighted they are, as such a 

 policy will never bring reciprocity, which all Cana- 

 dians sigh for, but retaliation, which they can ill 

 afford, and which is as unseemly among nations as it 

 is among men.

 ticket man assured them there was nothing else for 

 them to do, as there were no compartments, and the 

 company could not arrange one before the train
