Sir William Van Horne American builder of tho Canadian transcontinental line carried successfully about as gigantic a task as ever any man set out to accomplish while he played iuttiuiy at things that would have been major occupations to most men Probably it was cutting deep into the secrets in running his railway through that first attracted his attention to fossils but at any rate ho became a very respectable paleontologist in his playtime Ho played at painting (not that his work was dilettante but us'an artist friend put it painted as the birds he loved games and to win at them he was a devoted host ho played elaborate practical jokes sometimes with the telegraph wires of a continent for his media -He collected Japanese pottery and paintings Collecting was sufficiently orthodox for a relatively rich man of cultivated appreciations but of how many men who carried such a burden of enormous power and responsibility has it ever been said: "He loved games and attacked them with a boyish sest which was never quenched?" XValtcr Vaugnan in the November Century Magazine gives a very rleasing account of this man about whom Americans should know more than they do if only for sheer pride in his achievement Mr Xraughan says that his own home in his car or in his clubs at Montreal Ottawa and New York he was ever ready to Join in a hand at poker or whist lie had mastered the angles of tho English billiard-table and the mysteries of side and screw and tig-spite his corpulency he handled a cue well" XVhen he played he "summoned all his extraordinary power of concentration to his aid in the effort to conquer bis opponents He- kept a set of chessmen on his private car and would leave a group of directors and business magnates to do battle over the board through an evening and the long hours of the night with an unimportant secretary "Nor did he disdain the light accomplishments of the drawing-room He could show innumerable card-tricks and could a as well as a conjurer" Van Interest in creating and supporting the rumor of an uncanny gift of clairvoyance or "second sight" was a marked-trail according to Mr Vaughan through his life he took a curious delight In impressing the beholder by an exhibition of exceptional powers This he was enabled to do by combining a prodigious memory with a remarkable gift for observation and deduction IIo used to tell an amusing story of a test that was Imposed on him in Sir Donald drawingroom after some successful fooling at the dinner table The party insisted that seated at one end of the room he should reproduce a drawing made by Sir George Stephen at the other end 1 know what the devil to do and as I sat with pencil and paper before me my mind was a perfect blank Then 1 began to think ana think bard I knew that Stepnen the least notion of drawing and would have to do something simple and then it flashed upon me that Stephen had a passion for salmon-fishing and that if he could draw anything it was a salmon 1 cast a sly glaacc over to the other end ot the room and saw his hands moving quickly in small circles The' scales! So I drew a salmon as quickly as could And by jinks it was Tills cort of talent served him in detecting intimations that would have been missed 1 by most men "The cumulative erfect of such impressions' Vaughan declares "enabled him to create in the minds of men working on tho railway the belief that he was endowod with superhuman attributes that he was indeed omniscient' One of X'an Horne's stories which he told to explain this general belief is quoted by Mr Vaughan: evening 1 was traveling my private car along what was those days a rough part of the mad north of Lake Superior When the train stopped at a small station to take water I got off to take a turn on the platform and stretch my legs Going into the waiting-room my attention was attracted by a conversation the telegraph operator in the office behind the wicket was having on tne ticker with another operator away up the line I listened and heard that "the on the train whicn had just left for the East were having a great time They had taken cushions from the first-class carriage and had made themselves comfortable in the baggage car and were playing boker I did not say anything then but when 1 got further down the line 1 telegraphed back to a station where the train with "the was due to arrive a peremptory message that the cushions were to be returned to the first-class carriage and that employes were not allowed to play poker In the time From that day to this lliose men don't know how i fojnul out what they were the most unusual If by no means the most sensational thing Mr Vaughan tells of him Is that he actually wrote received and answered intimate letters lie wrote regularly to his daughter at school in Berlin trying to adapt his pen to Jhcr supposedly immature understanding in manner that was "charming in its I10 carried on -n-tertalning says Vaughan some of the friends he had made during a first and hurried trip to Europe especially with Lord Elphinstone the queen's

growth of the duo the timacy Jimmy was a character and Mr Vaughan tells one of the stories Sir William loved to tell of nun: "The Saskatchewan was frequently put at the service of dlstinguisncd travelers with Jimmy In charge of the party XVhen the marquis of Lome and Louise were leaving Canada at the close of their viceregal term they traveled to Quebec In nis care and were amused by Jimmy's Mlssa and They told Jimmy to call at their hotel and see them before leaving Jimmy arrayed himslef in his best made 11s call aud was ret used admittance to their excellencies by their attendants Lord Lome on hearing of this drove immeditely down to the Saskatchewan to ay good-bye to Jimmy what did you do when the marquis came? asked Van Horne to whom Jimmy was relating Ills experience done ma very best sail to make him feel at home 1 brought out the whisky and soda When this devoted servant died railway porter ever bad a more imposing funeral and Van Horne who was deeply afrected by the loss of devoted servant walked at the nead of the procession as chief mourner' Much concerned with art both as an executant and as an expert in the appreciation of beautiful things Air Vaughan tells of his painting done under difficulties but hugely enjoyed from puinting by daylight he took up his brush and palette at night and would often remain at his easel until 2 or 3 in the morning The disadvantage of working' with electric light added to his zest for represented a difficulty to be overcome and it cannot be questioned that lie attained astonishing skill in overcoming It "Sometimes his studio was shared by the artist Percy Woodcock and tne two would paint industriously or gratify Van insatiable desire for new effects by experimenting in colors Woodcock has given an illuminating picture of those evenings in the following: Horne painted as birds sing as naturally aud enjoyably It was a form of relief to his creative faculties that were continually seeking an outlet In the studio his railway work was put entirely behind him except in 1885 when he was so worried about the road's condition that sometimes in the middle of a joyous bit of painting the thought of the road would come to him like a shock and hang over him holding him totally absorbed- and still But when he presently threw it otf you would think lie had no other interest in life but painting To live close to a personality so winning and so rffrong was as surely to becom? submerged in it as the women of his household were 1 became so attached to him that In our repeated talks on art I found myself leaning too strongly toward his views- His make-up was so positive that he exerted a tremendous influence on anyone less positive I wanted to keep my art whatever it should be as my own and 1 often had to deliberately stay away from his studio -until 1 left for ITorne's opportunities for painting did not satisfy Ills artistic instincts growing more insistent year by year and they found vent in other directions He had hardly stopped collecting fossils before he began to collect Japanese pottery" Mr Vaughan tolls us his pottery was carefully and well chosen and was a collection of high quality He continues: slowly and with indeaiendonco of judgment ho was forming the nucleus bf a remarkable collection of paintings By 1890 Desamp Michel Monet Daumier Kibot and Bonvin as well as Corot were well represented in his collection his Dclacroixs were sufficiently important to be sought for a loan exhibition in New York and among others he had several examples of Joyous but perishable orchestration of colors Benjamin Constant and other artists entertained In his home which was becoming Internationally known for itt hospitality left with him souvenirs of their visits in the form of drawings or sketches in oil exchanged for samples of his own Van Horne won not theman to miss the relish of creating his own home to suit both his own notions and thi needs of his growing collections Vaughan hells how "in 1890 Van Horne began to prepare a fitting home for the treasurers ho had and those he hoped to acquire lie bought one of tho substantial gray stone houses typical of Montreal fronting on Sherbrooke close to the slopes of Mount Royal Enlarging and altering it with the assistance of his friend Colonna he secured a residence of dis- inction and character No one ever had a kocncr enjoyment in the sense of possession than ho and in hanging his pictures and in disposing suitably his other treasures of ceremics bronzes tapestries antique models of ships etc he found the same absorbing pleasure as ho had found in mounting clarifying his fossils One might think 'that a person who painted pictures would prefer peace and quiet that a man who collected objects of art would like slaying in tho midst of civilization -But says tho author of this article "travel was his unfailing restorative In his private car the Saskatchewan he slept like a child and was always at his best On his inspection tours he traveled by a special train driven by the best engineers available When there was no need of close inspection tho train swept like a cyclone through small stations and drew up at water tanks and divisional points in a cloud of steam and dust from which the president instantly emerged It happened in the twinkling of an eye a Jovian descent that was as enjoyable to every railway man in sight as it was to himself lie continued to be as approachable to a yrtrdman as to a director and as solicltious for his Nor Is it easy to reconcile the man of largo affairs whose recreations had been painting paleontology collecting and companionship with distinguished people with the playing it elaborate jokes upon his guests Mr Vuughan says this was one of -his great Joys He declares that they "were Invariably conceived without malice and in a spirit of genuine fun They were frequently worked out over considerable periods of time and pressing telegraphy Into Ills service
