" Ib wan," he said, "embalmed In Hansard that a great poet, Mr Rndyard KipUndone cf the greatest cf the Empire, bad Riven to the world a deeoilptlon of Canada as 'Oar Lidy cf the Snows.' Canada bad bo (Tared from tbe Idea prevalent In England that It was a land of enow, Instead of being a country with one of the finest allmatea In the world. It would be more appropriate to <i6Borlb3 Canada bb rich In vineyards, forests, rniaes, cornfields, harbors, broad and deep Jtawlng rivers and great inland seas, -He mußt, therefore, place on record a protest against Mr Kipling's deaoriptloo, althongh It was well meant." Mr Lanrier observed that probably Mr KipHog's description of Canada as "Oar Lady of tbe Snowi " was not most) apt ; bnt people were acouitomed to poetical exaggeration, and men in the Honse of Commons had occasionally had evidence ol It, He thought that be might fairly atk the Honse not to permit) poets to prevent the business of tbe fioneefrom being proceeded with, Mr Laorier added, amidab langbter, that " they wanted less poetry and more basinets."
