A rich Northerner walking about
in a Southern negro settlement
came upon a house around which
several children were playing. Seeing that the family was destitute,
he called the oldest negro boy and
gave him a dollar, telling him to
spend it for a Christmas turkey.
As soon as thc generous man had
gone, the negro woman called the
boy to her ami said: "Thomas, yo'
gimme dat dollar and go git dat
turkey in de natchel way."—Exchange.

THE NEW YEAR
Thc season of good resolution
making is once more with us and
probably each one is vicing
with tlic other to make the best
resolution Keeping them for
the three hundred and sixty five
days of tbe yei r is another thing
and Leap year in sight. However
ninny changes, we ill our minds,
resolve to make, the man aud
woman of today appreciate fully
that never was their such an age of
opportunities and privileges. With
these of course, conic added or at
least, newly disguised, responsibilities, and nowhere more than in
this country of British Columbia arc
tlio opportunities and responsibilities
greater. Each man and each woman
is therefore responsible for his or her
share in the furtherance of thc
Country's and City's advancement,
thc influence of each marking the
progress of every year as it rolls by.
Hopeful, sane optimism with unbounded energy, and judgement,
accomplishes wonders, and in thc
city of Chilliwack for the year 1912
let us all be honest boosters for our
city and fertile valley.
Let us open the door of the New
Year daringly and expectantly, for
the world is yet young and the God
of Good Will has only begun to
make known to us his treasures.
A Pleasant Christmas Xmas. Festival of Music

in Chilliwack.
It. was not tbe fault of the Weather Man if Christmas was not a
bright one in Chilliwack, for
certainly a mure perfect day cntlld
hardly be imagined, Mild enough
to suit thoso who love a "green
Xmas" and yet with the Invely
First Annual Entertainment I Splendid Success, A Record Attendance aid a
Delightful Pre-ram.
The first annual Christinas musical Festival given by the P. S. A.
Sunday afternoon wns in every way
a dcoidod success. Tho opera hotiso
was filled, buily and gallory lo its
capacity, the attendance being even
mure Iiuiii buja'd fur. A rough

bo Christmas, Surely noouooould
wish for anything better. The
day is essentially a homo day, a
day when the moHt attractive and
alluring place is the home hearth
and many families had a complete
circle for that day nt least, some
travelling hundreds of miles to be
with their relatives and friends.
Visions of juicy, tender turkey, rich! Rev. R. J. Douglas, one of the most
plum pudding, mince pie nnd the prominent mon in tho Inception of
eneotras all cooked and prepared I the P. S. A. "Comrades In Arms"
the afternoon's program and thus
encouraged the endeavors of the
officers and executive uf the P. S.
A. in their good work. And no
one was disappointed, for every
number was listened to or pnrlakeii
In, with interest and enthusiasm.
The opening hymn "All Hail the
Power of Jesus' Name," was followed by the Invocation pronounced by
by hands which never lose their
reputation prove too strong at this
time to tie resisted. Those who
were not so blessed iu having their
own, helped in many eases to gladden the strangers, in their homes.
It is a day fraught with associations
and memories for the "grown ups"
and a day shrouded with delightful
mystery and lore for the children.
A SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL
that rousing male quartette by Dr.
1'ntl.m, 1!. Marshall, J. W. Carrot-
ehael, and Robt. Carinichael was
full of enthusiasm and woll rendered.
Mrs. J. W. Carinichael who follow-
en sang the "Star of Helhlehem" by
Stephen Adams, in a most pleasing
and unaffected way. Her delightful
tones nnd clear enunciation brought
the audience quickly in sympathy
with her. Handel's "Andante
Religiousa" played by F. W. Dyke
on the cello was a treat. The
appealing tones of the sweet stringed
instrument were indeed lovely to
listen to. That good old song
"Galileo" was rendered by J. W.
Carmiehael in splendid voice, the
hymn "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful"
TW Chic Electioos.
Thc city municipal elections are
beginning to arouse interest, and
indications arc that there will lie
somo keen contests for local honors.
There appears to be considerable
street talk, some of which is not of
tlic most complimentary sort. Back
shops and street corners are not
the best places to discuss matters of
public interest. A mass meeting of
the citizens should be held previous
to the date of nominations, when
civic problems should lie aired, any
criticism of the civic body, or the
actions of individuals, presented.
The elector would become enlightened before he makes bis nomination,and prospective candidates could
better size up thc situation. After
nominations arc in is too late.
Have a meeting then, but, also ono

A Mprtatita Saved
Thc shooting match for geese and
turkeys, conducted on the farm of
Banford Bros., on Dec. Iff, was
largely attended. As a result, unusual interest was taken in the event
and the competition was exceedingly
keen, the birds being fairly equally
divided among the numerous marksmen. Mention of Bpcclal merit
might, however lie given to Messrs.
Wm. Vickcrson, N. Good and Ed.
Dewey. Although unfortunately,
Mr. Dewey, who is one of the best
off-handed shots on the Pacific
coast, if not in America, had
difficulty in adjusting his sights,
and it was not until the event was
nearly concluded that he began to
show his old time form, by scoring
the finest bull's eye of the day.

A despatch to the Soattlo Post
Intelligencer, from Olympia, under

Oil Company, with its principal
headquarters at Seattle, tiled articles

This item is of particular interest
to some eighty or more local people,
as there are about 500,000 shares of
stock held by residents of the Valley,
H. J. Barber, being one of the
principal holders, and he is one of
the trustees of new company. The
Colonial Oil Co. which has taken
over the Chilliwack Oils Limited,
organized some few years ago, is the
strongest oil company in America,
operating fields in British Columbia,
California, Washington, and Alaska.
Six standard drills are now operating in as many fields, and during
thc coming summer, twelve will bo
in operation. One of these will
operate in the Chilliwaek Valley,
and before this time next year the
belief that oil exists in thc Valley
may be a proven reality. Thc
officials of thc new company, from
samples of rock, sand, etc. secured,
hold that the indications arc exceptionally good. Two wells arc now
ready to produce in California, and
by operating in six different fields,
makes thc prospects for the company-
placing oil on thc market assured,

joyed an immense trade in that period.
You can read tho history of Ashcroft
in its faeo. In tho .summer mouth:
when travol is oosy on the Cariboo road,
men from nil parts of the continent
drift in hero on their way to the groat
new country tu the north. Thoy crowd
the streets fur a day or two, and then,
with outfits purchased, they drift out
again, by auto stage, on horseback,
driving their own teams and wagons,
or afoot, according to their means and
desires.
The stir and hustle is constant. An
uutOinobilo speeds through the street
and over the bridge, loaded with pus
Bangers for "up road." A prooossion

Is a simple mutter of economics.
Ashcroft realizes thla painful fact.

and we kept on.
Tlm country nboul Ashcroft is, given
ideipiuto Irrigation, among the most
productive in llritish Columblu. As
early as 18(13 enterprising ruuehers
raised hurley and other grains here ami
sold them at live cents a pound lo gold-
ulters. Thriving farms were estuh
lished then. lutter uud for many yuurs
ultluinisiiig became tlm chief industry,
uud il is only within very recent years
Hint, u return has lieen made to general
farming.
Wnler is the great pruhlom. There
ure few plueen thut can he funned
without irrigation. In un ordinary sou-
sou there is not water enough to gu
around. Those ranches thai nre protected hy adequate wuter records rulao
astonishing crops, for the fine loam thnt
composes the soil is very productive
Less fortunate ranches simply purch uinl
dry up. A small creek so si tun ted
that it can he. diverted to » mail's
farm looks us big as tho Mississippi in
tlm dry belt. "Ashcroft spuds," a
household necessity in the coast cities,
hear eloquent tribute to the productive
powers uf this district. Here is u llttlo
stury about Ashc.ruft potatoes that
shows what Ashcroft folk think ubout
them. A certain man planted 400 ucros
in "spuds." At digging time he found
thut the ground hud produced uu average uf ten tuns to the acre. He suid
his 4,000 tons at $'M) a tun, nud took in
.-J-llili.OOO. This is not u fairy tale, nl*
though it is just ns good ns one.
Wo visited one ranch, the Basque,
twelve miles from Ashcroft, on the west
bank of the Thompson. This is une
of the largest in the dry belt, comprising 2,0UO acres, and it is now being
developed as n, fruit, potato und hay
proposition. Potatoes crop from ten
tu fifteen tons to the. acre here, the
Belling prico ut digging tlmo being from
$10 to .•p) per tun. Timothy yields
frum three tu four tuns to the acre,
never selling ut less than $'M) per ton.
Alfalfa, u favorite crop, yields three
crops, aggregating frum five to six tuns
per acre per senson, und wurth from
$l,r> to $20 per tou in tho stuck. Apple
trees thut had been yielding for twenty-
seven yeurs produced last season thirty-
five boxes to the tree, the fruit selling
at 61,30 per box on the tree. Plums und
cherries aro the other most important
commercial varieties of fruit produced.
This ranch had its own interesting
history. Tin- land wus first taken up
in 1803 by a band of Frenchmen from
the Basque couutry in France, whu gave
it its present name. These industrious people lirst came up the Thompson in quest of gold, uml washed the
gravel, ou the bunks beside the future ranch. Then, being agriculturists
by training, tln-y recognized the possibilities of the land, und went into raising produce. The throng ul' gold-
seekers UtTordod a ready market; the

BREEDING FARM ANIMALS
F. u. Marshall, professor of animal
husbandry of the Ohio State University, has'just written a very valuable
booh entitled "Brooding Farm Animals " lately issued hy Ihe Breeder's
Onzetlo.
This is a hook of 'J"-? pages in veiy
easily road type and while it covers
L'ndouhtedly the world of art has
been profoundly disturbed hy the theft,
discovered on August -.'nl, of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the por-
truit (if Monna Lisa, from the walls of
the Louvre, in Paris, Da Vinci spent
fuur years uf his life in painting thi
lady "with the sly eyes and the mys
terious smile, and it is a tradition that
he became so attached to it that lu
afterward begged it back from the pur
chaser, since he could not live without
it. If the artist wus four yeurs ii
painting it, for fuur hundred yenr
artists and lovers nf the mystorloui
life uf the Renaissance ha,ve worshiped
hefore this picture as before a shrine.
The masterpiece, known to Knglish
speaking people as "Monna Lisa," but
mure proporly named " Lu Jocunde,"
was one uf the three or four supreme
art treasures of the Louvre. Critics
value it only second to the Sistine Ma
donna, and it is reported that the
French government recently refused an
offer of a million dollars tor it. The
Htoiies about the subject of the portrait
and the apparently everlasting discussion as tu the character shown hy the
face and the meaning of the mysterious
smile have made the picture not only
a valuable work of art, but a subject
of universal discussion. It is generally
believed that Monna—Madonna Lisa,
to give her thc preper form of title-
was the wife nf Francesco del Glucon-
du, a Florentine merchant. Leonardo
painted it at Intervals covering four
years, the sittings being brief because
lie could paint only when the lady
smiled.
A number of explanations have been
offered ns to the motive ui the theft.
Some claim that it as stolen tu he held
for ransom. Others thut the theft wus
engineered by au American collet-tor,
who wanted to hnve a beautiful copy
mnde, intending tu return the original
(or perhaps the copy, who knowsI)
later to the Louvre. A third theory
is that the whole thing is a hoax perpetrated to show how easy it would he
tn rub the Louvre. A fourth explanation hus it thut the picture wus sttden
tn enable some mimomuuiac, uo longer
able to go to Ihe Louvre, to feast Ins
eyes at home upon the object of his
Idolntry.
The discovery of Ihe ease with which
the picture could be removed has led
to a discussion from which the only
conclusion to be drawn is that France's
art treaaurea in the Louvre have been
ver> Inndequatoly enred for. It cms
almost Incredible thut the painting,
which is nut ou can VIM, hut on a heavy
wooden panel, could he removed from
ils frame und curried nil* wil bout any of
the custodians of the nailery realizing
what was going on. A cynical American daily remarks thut if the Paris
police are vigilant they can probably
arrest the thief when he conies back
to steal the Louvre itself! An Investigation mado during the few days following tho theft has revealed the fact
thut during the pust three or four
years more thnn three hundred works
of art have been abstracted from the
Louvro collection. The authorities
hove begun a vigorous campaign of in
vestigution, and it is reported lhat the
entire staff uf the gallery custodians
wiil he changed. The director has already been suspended.
It' wus by interesting coincidence
that, a few duys boforo the theft of
the famous painting from the I'uris gul
lory, there should huve appeared a work
of Action, anunyninusly published, pur
porting lo be Ihe story of the love affair between Da Vim-i ami Nfonnn Lisn.
The book, which is entitled "Mnunu
Lisa, nr the CjllOSt of the Womnn Hunl,"
claims to he u translation of "a dilapidated manuscript discovered iii a heap
nf rubbish in one of the old palaces of
Florence, which was undergoing altera
tions," On examination, we nro fur*

aro a few offences, among many
fraught with grave conscquonceB to the
triumphant member. Itoceut election
petitions have shown Ihe truth of tilts.
If personally responsible for corrupt
practices, the unhappy candidate
conviction, is incapacitated for election
lo uny constituency for seven years,
and liis late election is rendered void.
Whether the candidate be personally
responsible, tif responsible only through
his agents, a conviction of illegal practices usually carries with it the latter
penalty, aud tho unsettled member has
before'him the option of retiring from
public life for u season or of once more
facing the music of uiiother contest.
It must be borne in mind, too, that
a candidate is, with certain exceptions,
liable for the illegal practices of all
persons who may, un the trial uf the
election petition', be held to be his
agents.
It is possible, however, to to have tu
vacate a scat iu the House under happier circumstances tliau these. -or
example, u writ may bo issued sum-
atoning a member to the House of
Lords; and, as peers of parliament aad
of Irish peers, not included in the -S
peers of the realm—with the exception
representatives of Great Britain—are
ineligible for a sent in the Commons,
tbe newly horn peer retires tu his rest
with blushing hoimrs thick upon him,
and leaves to some other aspirant for
parliamentary huuors the fierce turmoil oi another contest.
Acceptance of the "Stewardship of
the Chiltern Hundreds." ur, when tnat
ulliee is not available, the "Manor ui
the East Hundred," is, uf course, cquiv
nlont tu resignation, and is the usual
method nt vacating a seat in parliament.
There are three eases on record
where a member has beeu tppuinted
ugent of a militia regiment to enable
him to vacate his scut and stand fur
some other constituency.
The election of a member to the
House uf Commons can also be rendered void by bankruptcy or lunacy, but,
in such a ease, ...o seat is nut immediately vacated.
Six months' grace i- allowed by law
boforo the House cm order the issue of
a new writ.
A number of most interesting eases
have arisen out of the famous act
known as the 0th of Anne, the 20th
section nf which enacts that, if a member shall accept uny office of profit
front the crown, his election shall he
void, Imt such person shall be capable
of re election.
There are certain exceptions, how
ever, provided for hy statute. A few
ufllces of profit there ure acceptance uf
which dues nut entail Ihe vacation uf
a scat in the Common-, among them
being those of financial secretary tu
Ihe war office, governor nf the Hank of
England, and the ulliee of paymaster-
general. A further oxemptlon has been
made which provides thai u member
may accept other offices iu successiun
to the one fnr which he sought ro-oioc
without vacating hi*- scat.
Tlio new Turkey has both u real man
aud u real policy. Such, ut uny rate,
is tho firm beliuf uf Mr, W. T. Stead,
odltor uf the English Koviow of lie
views. Mr. .Stead spent thu month of
July in Consluntinoplo ami was accorded tho privilege of it personal interview with the Sultan. He describes
this mooting anil whut was said at it
in his review for .September. Of tho
Turkish ruler, he suys:
"The Sultan is u mun well advanced
in years. Of his sixty seven yenrs ho
spent thirty under coiistunt surveillance, which made him practically u prisoner. No man cun bo lung in eon-
fl no moil t, whether in a guul or in u

Tho Sultan is tho man uf thc situation, Mr. Stead maintains.
"Ho is the mun of the situation—

thirdly, because he hus gut fundamentally Bound ideus us tu the principles

in temperament; u man modest and retiring rather than ambitious, hut nevertheless a man capable of firm resolution,
and not by any menus Incapable of
conceiving a high ideal uud adhering
to his purpose with uu altogether un
expected degree of llrniiiess. Above
nil I found in him it saving sense of
burner; u shrewd und kindly wit; u
willingness tu listen und to share ideas
with a stranger. There was uo affectation in the Sultan. He was a human
being in a very difficult post, wim
rather wistfully welcomed any sincere
converse nu the duties and responsibilities of his great position. He is not a
hustler like Mr. Roosevelt, nor a dramatic entrepreneur like the Kaiser, nor
u complete mun of the world like BU

science; ami besides all thut he is the
man who more clearly thnn uuy other
man whom I met in Turkey grasps with
u kind of inherited instinct the only
principles upon which it is possible tu
make the Ottoman Empire contented,
prosperous and strong. That such a
mnn should occupy the throne nt the

of the preseut situation,"
What's the policy uf Sultan Melt-
nod \'.1 It Is Ilrst and fureimmt, we
ure told, the policy uf a constitutional

the policy of the Hultan, as he
plained it tu me and ns It hns beeu
expounded to me by one of the most
trusted diplomatists in his service, is a
policy of peace. So fur from lieing
responsible for the policy of Chnuvlnts
tie ugg**ession whieh in Ihe lasl tw*
years ims so profoundly dicredited the
governing junta at Suloiiicn, it is regarded by the Sultan with frank und
unconcealed abhorrence. His watch
word is pence. Of course, if tho integrity uf his Empire was assailed or
its interests unjustly attacked, Mehmed V. wuuld nut hesitate tu use the
effective instrument which Muhmuund
Chofkot Pasha is making perfect. But
if he hud tu sanction war he would du
so with a heavy heart. Fence, not
war, is the policy to which hu is devoted. This is nut thu expression uf
u more empty platitude. Tlio Hultiin's
idea uf peace is twofold, Ho far us the
Europonn powers are concerned, ho is
for friendship with all and untangling
alliances with none. , . What is
much mure important than his vluws
us tu the rotations botweouTurkoy ami

stntcsuiaiilike conception, which hu
brought to the throne of reconstituting
the protective unity of the old fabric
uf the Ottoman Empire by a pulley of
fraternal co*oporatlou uud allianoo between Turkey ami the Christian states
which have been established nn the site
of Turkish provinces. The Htillan 's

of a Li hern I policy in Smith Africa,

he Went on to draw a parallel between

that his policy in Albania was like ours

A TRIP TO PRINCE RUPERT AND GRAHAM
ISLAND. Concluded.
Tin1 conformation of tlic block of
Inuil wo were especially interested
in comprising an aron of '25,(10(1
acres is of an nndulnting nature,
Starting oloso to tho beaoli of tho
big sail wator lake on whloli we
worn oanipod, tho bind risen to a
rldgo or bonoli from twenty to thirty i
foot above son levol. This plateau
extonds norljiorly for about half
a mil© to throe f|iiat'ters und thon
there is a more or loss abrupt do-
scent, tn ii long slope torminiiting In
a flat, or small valley about hnlf a
milr in width, lite bottom watered
mul drained liy tt beautiful oloar]
crook, flowing steadily, Tho land
then rises again tu anothor rldgo
about tin' same us the previous one
Imt ii trifle hlghor, descending once
inuil' tu ii bin flat, extending about
n mill' und along the east and south
sliufi's nl' :i pretty lake of about
soventy-flve to eighty acres in ox-
tout. Tbo tthoros aro of solid
ground und haroapnrty of surveyors
bud camped during lbo summer us
evidenced liy tbo remains of their
camp. Wo WW told tlmt plontv
uf trout could bo caught in this
wnler. At tbo north end uf tlir
lake wo again mounted to the lop
of a rldgo. The undulations occur
fairly regularly and in the main
tbeir directions Is slightly north
oast and south west numerous
creeks and rivulets afford ample
drainage to the land as there is u
good How to all of thorn even now,
when there is no ground under
cultivation and in many places as
is the ease in all wooded country,
tbo watercourses are more or less
damed up by drift aud rubbish.
Now aa to the quality of the soils.
The ridges are composed of a vcrv
slightly gravelly soil, the color being a reddish yellow to a dark red,—
of a loam nature, with enough
suggestion of clay to make it good.
The mountains on the west coast,
being of a sandstone formation
principally, no doubt account for
this soil formed liy glacial action und
crosin. In fact the ridges generally
might bo taken as lung low ribs
of the hills spreading out in an
easterly direction, Thuugh of
course spurs will run out bore and
there from those ridges at different
angles. The timber on these ridges
is composed of spruce, cedar and
hemlock, There is no red tir on
thc Island. The trees on top of the
high ground are fairly largo running from twelve inches to three
foot in diameter. They carry their
weight well up and for the most
pari are oloar of limbs for fifty to
one hundred feet. A good deal of
tbe timber looks ubout the same as
our second growth lir, that is as
regards size nnd growth.
Splendid timber for piles, bridge
timbers, ties and soforth. Tbe
amount of really valuable saw
timber is small except on the lands
slaked for tinilior limits, which
lands are confined to the banks of
Ibe bigger lakes and rivers and the
shores "f the Salt Luke, or Masset
luli-t and Harbor as ii should be
culled.
Their are all told 00,001) acres of
slaked timber on tho islands. The
soil uf the slopes, sulile III them
quite gradual and a mile in extent,
is much the same in quality as the
ridges except, that a splendid dark
brown leaf mold is mote apparent
and deopoilS to eighteen inches or
more ns you get to thc bottom of
the slopes, Here the timber is
lighter and uioro scattered and
whereas the tops of the ridges have
uo undergrowth, except fern and
huckleberry, the slopes are, covered
somewhat with huokloberry, salmon-
berry, orabapplo. salal, and cranberry. Though only here and there
is the underbrush thick, Apart
from the windfalls walking is easy.
Tbe. bottom lands are. composed
of a very rich brown soil of decayed
vegetable mutter and decayed moss
with u subsoil uf a sedimentary
clay nature. There is in most
places a covering ol live muss varying in depth frum six inches tu a
foot, though here and there yon
may find spots or acre* of live moss
still in formation and very deep.
These are. few and far between on
tbe land we inspectd, but it. is said
that on the oust side uf thu Island
these ureas are large and not so
scarce, ln fact along the east coast
and towards the south end of tho
island they become veritable muskegs. It seems lo bo tbe fashion
in these northern latitudes lo IiiIh'I
everything muskeg that is wot or
swampy. Tlio bottoms that we
traversed were swampy from the
fact of being moss covered and the
natural drainage not opened up.
lint wo did not como across any
places where we sank uver our uppers, and this sort of swamp may
be encountered un much uf the luw
lands in Chilliwaek, Sumas or
Mutsqui in the winter months. As
tiie bottoms are all intersected with
creeks and all creeks nre running,
tho drailmge is really a simple
matter and only needs the ordinary
efforts of the settlors. Those lands
are like meadows to a great extent
and a good proportion uf the ground
ia open or only studded sparsely
with small bull pine and stunted
cedar, hemlock and spruce. Some
sections further north arc still moro
opon with considerable stretches of
wild grass, of a blue joint nature
Still the flats are well supplied with
cranberry, both low bush und high
bush. There is no peat on tho
Island. One moss stretch wo saw
hud been slightly ditched and then
burnt of)' with the result that, the
muss had disappeared ami a heavy
growth of wild grass hud taken its
place. Along the dirt cast up from
the ditches here and there clover
ml timothy seed hod been scattered and both had made a splendid
growth with a good strong stiff
steam. 1 have no doubt that the
moss meadows, except where live
moss is very deep, could all bo
treated in this way and brought into cultivation ono year after ditching.
Now us nearly every eighty acre
plot would have some high land
and sumo luw land, the settlers
wuuld have as rich a soil for dairying and stuck as any where in the
World and wuuld also have good

certain huge shop on Portage Avenue had returned from a
six WOokfl1 visit to New York. I scuttled round to see him
and gel a few ndvunce tips. Managers' of department* in

but stroke 'om just right nut] sometimes they'll "talk"—

the newest thing in wallpapers is the "blended leather"
effect, thut simulates quite perfectly in tone, anil grain the
beautiful, mellowed tints of the time worn interiors of a

of the "oojmj leather" papers will form an artistically sobor

nivo chairs, and tbo long rows ot books with their faint
leathery smoil. Old -fashioned " panel-effects.'' either in
paper, or, if your drawing-room is an elaborate one, in silt;
against a plain moire background, will also be "the thing."
For the bedrooms, wo have tlie dear, quaint patterns of

morning glory vines. Louis XVI, dosigns of lattice work
nnd trellirs t-howtrcd with pink or red or yellow roses, to

these has naturally come the revival of figured chintz and

nnd still consider the exigencies ol ti slender purse, buy the
bandblockod muslins which ure shown in the shops just now
at such reasonable prices. These muslins are printed by

limited.

of the up to date home keeper, this season. She has extended het predilection for velvet gown** to make it include
thnt most artistically satisfying of all materials in every
sort of drawing room und library drape aud cover. French
velvet, un imported fabric, is a monr exquisite material
used in this way, It is a very recent importation, coining
in a variety of beautiful shades, including golden brown, eld

Suppose yon have a new rug, or better still, a handsome old
oue, whose pattern aud coloring you wish reproduced in
curtains or hangings. The portion of the rug design you
want to use is traced on the velvet in exactly the same way

Have you noticed what, a quantity of space is devotod
nowadays to reading matter designed especially to interest.

as thoro uro publications devoted to "woman's intorosts."
F.vcn in the over-crowded columns of tbe daily proBS, the
"children's page" and the "woman's department" have
sense. If not, we may "skim" or ignore, and no particular
harm done.
But how about the children's writers! A child's sensi

in the way of new leather work. There are pocketbooks and

real peacock's feathers, sewed beneath the openwork'designs,

There are handbags heavy with golden embroideries or
sewn with seed pearls and emeralds In quaint designs. One
of the larger shops offers a new material in the way nf the
dainty 'kerchiofs which milady tucks away in these handbags. It is an Knglish fabric, soft, fine and sheer, that has
only recently been shown iu this couutry, though the sales
mail told me the "Libsuo" 'kerchief, which is its technical
name, bus been displayed for U year or more in the London
shops. They are dainty, but quite inexpensive, which last
is more or less an item Worthy of honorable mention these

Some day, many years hence, when letters ure regularly
carried by aeroplane, thero will probably be people alive who
wilt be able to say: "I saw the first air postman flying from
Louden to Windsor, with the first bag of letters entrusted by
tbc Post Ollii-e to uu airman, on September the ninth, Kill."
Undoubtedly the aeriul post experiment hnF touched the
popular imagination, and for tlnis reason, It carries the
mind into the faturc. It suggests the inevitable development of a mode of travel which is still iu the infancy stage.
There were, therefore, a great many spectators at Hendon on
.Saturday afternoon to see thc stttrt. There were people
looking out fot the mail plane all the way. And at Windsor
there would huve been a big crowd on the landing-place if it
had not been in the private part of the royal grounds with
admission strictly limited to a few invited guests.
In tbe end, however, these guests gained vory little bv
being on the Kant Lawn, for the one aeroplane which arrived
did nol land tnere at all, but in a meadow on the royal farm

Cycled off with it, and by half past five the delivery had be

Certain documents relating to the mail were ilgneo and

Hume! --tatted back. It was unfortunate tliat the wind,
which at Hendon was blowing thirty miles nn hour, delayed
the start and prevented other aeroplanes from making the
journey. But an air post, cannot be expected ns yet to be

At an any rate, it got itself started, nnd to those who scoff nt

WORLD'S CEOPS
Principal Foreign Crops Are Reported
To Washing tern
Washington, D.C.. Sopt. 15.— Conditions ol the important foreign crops, ua
reported to the Uullod -States depart
ment of ugricultuic's bureuu of stut.is
tics, wore announced recently as follows:
lu western Cunadu, the greatest portion of 0.500,000 acres of wheat hud
been cut by eaily September, Harvesting operations have been conducted under generally favorable conditions, Commercial estimates range between IftO,-
000,000 und 185,000,000 bushels.
Quantitatively, tho aggregate wheat
yield of the western and north central
Huropeau countries, omitting Russia, is
known largely to exceed that of the pro
coding year Kyu shows some shortage
iu volume, Oats is heavily delicient,
and only u very moderate yield of corn
is expected,
In south central Europe the small
cereals, though not so abundant as lust
yenr, have given better than average
quantities. The corn crop promises well.
Iu lluBsillj the yield in both whoat
and rye probably will be much smaller
that in either of the past two years.
Nu trustworthy estimate of the exa.it
extent ot the deficiency, however, can
be had until Hie publication of the of
Qoial figures. The wheat shortage is
attributed chiefly to a disastrous crop
failure in southeastern fttissln and wesl
em Siberia. Confirmation of tba enlam
ily is found in a ropurt that tho Bus
sian government has bought large fJUftll
tities of rye and wheat for the relief of
tho unfortunate listricts. Barley pro
mises a good crop, and coin a bountiful
yield is assured,
In .Argentina recent general rants
throughout. the grain belt have
strengthened confidence in tho outcome
of the tllture harvest.. The areas under
flax, seed and oats show record acre
ages.
Australian wheat acreage is said to
show a slight increase, with prospects,
for a favorable crop.
In British India conditions have improved, but rain is still Jacking in some,
districts. An official report upon the
acreage planted to cotton ia 1011 11! In
districts which usually have 75 per cent.
of the total, estimates the area at 11,
300,000 acrei. against 12,215,000 acres in
the same territory last year.
THE FUTURE OF VENICE
M. Paul Souday, writing in the Eclair,
takes a gloomy view of thc future of
Venice and incidentally shakes an ad
monitory finger at the Venetian author!
ties should his forecast be realized.
Venice, he says, is disappearing, and
by thai same sin of ambition "by which
the angels fell." Not content to be
tbe museum of the world, she has cast
a longing eye upon her old commercial
BUproinaC) and has dreamed dreams of
its restoration. To this end she has
tried to deepen the Grand ('anal, and
the result has been a tlow of water
around the ancient foundations of the
city and with lamentable consequences,
The fall of the Campanile, says M.
Sunday, was due to no other cause, and
now there are ominous eiui-ks in the
Doge's Palace, there has been a subsid
ence in the base of St. Mark's, and fi*-
suros have appeared in the Bridge of
the Rialto. M. Souday asks If Venice
is doomed to disappear and if the death
of her commerce is to be followed by
the death of bor romance,
It is to be feared that M. Souday
must he answered in the affirmative, al
though it would be a pity to hasten
the inevitable by an attempt to rovlv<
commercial glories that are glorious
only because they are blurred by the
mists of time. Venice will disappear
like all other human things. If the
l-tiulto could bt* drapped iu cotton wool,
still it would not be immortal.
The world is full of ruins haunted by
ghosts who would look upon Venice
very much as we look upon a new mining eamp. They have disappeared, or
nearly so, and Venice must go the same
way sooner or later. Hut let it be
later. To hasten the process by commercialism would be a crime for which
only Dante could furnish tbe adequate
penalty. A modern ocean liner iu the
Grand (ami would be an inspiring spectacle, but for this the Doge's Palace
would be too high a price.
A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY!
An eminent scientist, the other day,
gave his opinion that, the most won
derful discovery of recent years was
tbe discovery of /.am Buk, .lust
think! As soon as a single thin layer
of Zam Buk is applied to a wound or
a sore, such injury is insured against
blood poison) Not uuu species of
microbe has been found tliat '/um-Buk

Then again, As soon as Zmu Hnk
is applied te a sore, or a cut, or to
skin disease, tt, stops Ue smarting.
That is why i-hildrei. uro auch friend*

WN. THOMPSON DELL WH1TM0RE
COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Editor.
Hear Sir—I must trespass upon
your space if yuu can spare it to
bring to public notice a most peculiar
und disgraceful state of affairs in
tho Ituvni Municipality. I refer to
lbc absolute luck of police protect ion
according to the decree of lbc
Council. Today, Saturday Deo, lb*
a resident ol lho municipality was
hullllng ii load of wood from the
Wilder Uivcr to Cliilliwnck when
wo Indians in a semi-drunk
condition jumped from their ris;
one Indian seized the mail's horses
by tholr heads, the other threw off
lis coat, and begun throwing stories
al the driver, of tho team. The
driver was on the load and 'wearing
a heavy over-coat and his legs
wrapped in a blanket, making it
hard for him to protect himself,
Ily lashing his horses, lie managed
to break away before he was hurt
Upon reporting the incident to a
uian who is employed at times as
Constable he was accompanied by
tho said Constable to the Reeve and
Council then silting. Here he was
informed that the municipality
would send a man out to arrest the
culprits if the complainant paid
the expenses or he could bring a
Civil action. Whea asked if the
aid of the Provincial Police could
be invoked he was informed that
the assault having been committed
in the Township it was out of the
jurisdiction of the Provincial Police.
Now, Mr. Editor, just consider the
absolute absurdity of the situation.
A respectable citizen can be assaulted on the public highway, and he
is unable to get protection of any
sort, except at his own expense.
If he carries a gun ho is liable to a
fine, if it be concealed. If he takes
the law in his own hands ho is told
by this same Council that he '.caves
him self liable, though why, when
the others can not be got at, is a
mystery. The Provincial Police
aro apparently kept up by the tax
payers of the Province for use in
unorganised districts only. It occurs
to nic however thit there have been
cases which I could cite in which |
no less than three or four special
Constables have been despatched
to round up whiskey peddlers, supposed hud men, drunken Indians,
etc. Who paid the expenses? It
is high time that this municipality
had the lirst adjuncts of a civilised
state. If these things arc allowed
to go unnoticed, life and property
will not be safe. As long as thc
depredations are done in the rural
municipality it is all right, and the
Township may become the rendezvous of thugs, thieves, and bad
men of all sorts. Trusting this
state of affairs will not be allowed
continue much longer. lam,
Yours truly,
Indignant,
and presided at tho inquest, the
result of the Jury's finding being,
that death was the result of strangulation. The deceased was an

Mr. Thompson, (of Chicago), a
boarder at the Harrison House,

One of these curious hnlf told tales

of tht' strongest and most dramatic

into his eonfi leuee. So much did he
appear t>* trust him thai ho pul him

Soon, however, trouble arose, l,1ro

EXCLUDING THE SKYSCRAPER
The commission charged with tho ro-
visim, „f the Montreal Building Code
has docided to maintain the bylaw prohibiting the erection of buildings uver
130 foot'high, The decision Is wise,
but it is unnecessary to ruin ind tho
city fathers of Montreal that it is not
enough to pass bylaws, It must also be
possible to curry'them out withnul pre

the skyscraper is no admirable illustration of whut the. economists call marginal utility. In planning work on any
building site thero is a certain point
at whicli it becomes cheaper to buy it

location of Hint point depends partly
on the price of land and partly on the
facItltiOB for dealing With material.

nothing but facilities aro.lucking, tho

TO FAEMEES.—Since mailing our clrculai letters lo farmers, such a r.-.dical chair: lltton
in Woatertl Canada lias taken place that wc feci coinpcllotl to advise farmeis of this ciur..r ? .

was only a matter of conjecture, hut reports coming in now show a deplorable condition over i side n at
these t'.vo province., For thc iast three weeks tiie weather for threshing an-l harvesting hts been moat numtt.
able. Thousands of acres of grain are still uncut, and it Is scarcely likely that any of it will be cut Testa tun
show that it will not pay to thresh many thousands of acres that have been cut, and sor...: :.. :.. Unas
have ftr.tly refused to thresh by tho bushel, but will only continue by the day. Frost early :. ra tdncad
the grade of wheat in many parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta down to No. 6 wheat ...
farmers that havo No. 3 Northern or better have every rij;i'.t to consider themselves fortunate Both. 8
wan and sVlborta will p:oduce a large quantity of wheat grading No. 4 wheat or lower 3 .
tho damp weather is sure to reduce large quantities of thc bettor qualities to off-grades. Co:-.':
worst wo have expcrlenccl for years. This means that there will be lots of low grade whcit to ha Idle
season, but it does not follow that wc will havo low prices. Outside conditions guarantee good prices. We
havo advocated light along that, even without damage to our cop, wo would not have low prices, u the demand for wheat all over the world will be enormous. Wo predict that today's quotations fot I
cheap BOmetlme between uow and next July. Thc day for cheap wheat has gone hy. There '•-"■ 'oo r.'.i.t-
pooplo eating wheat, and the new countries that aro opening up are not any more than keeping pace in-.h
tho Increased consumption. There may he a lot of wheat whlcb will not be fit for grinding pur
poor feed. Outside conditions, however, guarantee a good price for this quality of irrain, because the feed
shortage In Europe is enormous, and alroady Germany is reducing the duty of feed stuffs to prevent the Orr.:. r.
farmers from markotiug their live stock, which would he a menace to tho welfare of that count
expected that thc duty will ho removed entirely at thc ne::t session of Parliament. As one d-vie: y-v. .
tho law upholds: "Men can starve, hut tho cattle n'.u^t be fed. The approach of winter will the .—...
that a good supply of feed stuffs must be purchase! and stored, aud Europe dare not dlscbey the Ujnal Aa
tho quantity of wheat grading No. 3 Northern, or better, h s bee'.', reduced considerably by :
likely he r.n unusually strong demand for those grades throughout tho season. It is claimed th I
States mills intend grinding our 1 and 2 Northern wheat ln bond. They need lt to nix with the softer Virlet ra
of tbe Southern States.
Today No. 3 Barley Is worth 70c in store, Fort William. Wo do not look for any decline in these prices,
and v;c expect our Nos. 3 and 4 Barley to advance 10c per bushel and be maintained. Oat. re
store. Fort William, and present indications point to oat values holding their own and probably
so considerable feed stuff, will ba required in tho United States and Europe, in fact lar moro than we can supply.
We have been getting several letters from farmers aud they til cxrect to see prl wham re
ceipts got heavy, but wc cannot so it in that way. Of courro, wo may have a temporary ictie
but this is the time for tlic farmers to hold their grain, md wo suggest tliat farmers select a goo-'., rellahl
mission merchant, consign all their car-lot shipment, of grain to iiini. aud then rely noon his advice a.- to the
proper time to sell or hold. It will pay thom well to do this, .Wo do not think it ad. tabli to hold
grain too long. Tho heavy storage charges in the terminal olovators eat heavily into the profits itemed through
any substantial advance in market piicis. and when prices nt tho beginning cf the season ai w.
selling. Of course, there aro ttme3 when, by holding anywhere from ten days to two months, the advancing
market makes It n very prolitablc deal, but as to tho advisability of holding for even thia length of time, wc
think It bent for farmers to depend upon tho advice given by his commission agent.
Wc foci sure lhat. the above Information and advice is going to dispel ihe Quandary whlcb many farmers
arc In as to the advisability of marketing their grain now or holding, and even if this should be all, we would
feel icnnid for tho expense of publishing this Information. However, wo know that farmers, even more than
other business men. rocognite nnd appreciate a good turn, and will show their appreciation substantially when
the opportunity oifcrs. Wa know that our old customers will still employ us to handle 'heir ;;r.-.in consign-
incuts this season, aa in other years, but wc also know that there nre many others who appreciate our informa-
tion and advice, and many of tlioso will show their appreciation this season by lorwavdlng us at least one
car-lot shipment to bo handled on commission. Oct better acquainted with us now by shipping forward a car
early in the season, and wo aro perfectly satisfied that you will bo so pleased and glad to let ns have the handling
of tho balance of your grain this season, and that luturo years will bring ns all your grain shipments. Wc know
wo can satisfy you nml thoro is nothing else nocossary to hold your custom. Wc UNDERSTAND this graui
business THOROUGHLY, and that COUNTS.

P.S.—If nt all possible, don't thresh yon.' grain until it is thoroughly dry, Havo patience. It will pay-
to wait, even for a considerable length of time, Ciood dry milling grades of when will likely be drawing a
rood premium this season, and it could easily happen that tho drying facilities at Fort William and Port Arthur
would not prove eoual to drying a vory l.v.so quantity of damp nnd tough grain rushed forward. An ovor-stock
might forio slipncrs to sell out nt sacriilcc prices to prevent loss from heating. tfeUE tttiss, cbilliwack, britiss Columbia

The past few weeks hnve been un
usual for the amount of rain that has
fallen al) over the country from Maine
to California. Hnee meetings ivory
where have been interfered with and in
some eases have had to be declared off
entirely.
This has meant n great loss to cam*
p.'iigiiiug horsemen, more so than to
the association*-, lor iu many cases
oven with rain tlie attendance hm been
record breaking.
lt is high time that race track mon*
agers seriously considered the subject
of doing something to track*, which will
allow racing every day during a meet

We do not propose to offer any --ug
gestions as to how this shuli be accomplished. Tbe suggestion made about
seven years ago to use a can vat. covering which could be automatically roll*
ed above a track in ease of rain may be
discarded as impracticable. The -aig
gc-ttion of a top layer of taubark and
aalt has its diHadvantngc*-.
Some experimenting has been done
with crude oil. The Streator, III., truck
was so treated but horsemen, ns we
romember the circumstances, wen- not
entirely satisfied. There are oiled
tracks at La Porte, Ind., and Hibbiug.
Minn. It. L, Giffln, secretary at the
latter point, in response to an inquiry
furnishes ns with some tnfonnutitn
about his track which may prove of interest to all horsemen and of value to
race truck secretaries, We would be
pleased to hear from Mime ouo about
the La Porte track.

"In regand to the cost, and qunn

SOME WESTERN NAMES
Severnl hundred new lowns are to Inbuilt in tho West, we arc told, this yoar
and next. They will all have to be named.
It is a comparatively easy thing to pick
out a town site on the prairie, inn whore
does the, supply ui bra ml new nniue*
come from.- The uew map making thai
is continunily going on in Western ('an
ada is nol merely a questli !' where
tlo- towns shall be put but nl wlilil Lliuy
shall be called.
This mat ier of plnce-tunnes In tho
West is an interesting bit of study, uud
reveals not only an u in lifting profundity
but a very considerable originality.
They ate not the kind of names thai
are known iu Hie Kasl. Very seldom
does a westeru town duplicate the nniue
of au eastern town- whieh fo more than
can be saitl of the Kast itself, where
there are many repetitions. A gluiu-e
at the newest map of thc prairie pro
vinees will show an interesting variety
of names that are practically copyright.
They lire the kind of names that would
not (it well in thc Kast, simply bocause
they have grown out of western expor
lonces and conditions. The earliest were
Indian, and many sweet Bounding In
dian names an- ou tlo* map; men the
cue was taken from the appearance of
Nature, particularly in the ca«e oi rivers, bills, and valleys; and latterly the
surnames of m.-n are being enmtnetnor
ated, mon who have taken some pnrt in
tlie establishment of the town, or, in
the caso of many of the newest sta
tions, the ofucluls or engineers of thc
railway which is bringing the town into
being.
Hut oven greater in variety, interest,
nnd occasional oddity than the place*
names are the names of ihe people.
Here, too, an effort Is matte to commemorate some phase of western life, not
infrequently with strange results. An
Indian mother neur Kdmonton heard
of the huge pan being played in tbc
West by tba railways, and straightway
named her youngest "C.P.B." Anotb
er, desirous of doing honor to the white
man's medicine, conferred upon her
lirst born tin- surprising distinction of
"Mary Ann Hood's Bursa pur ilia."
Surnames cannot, however, be so
easily manufactured or adapted, mu\
this explains the infinite varietj of
family nomenclature in a country
whore people come from everywhere
and bring their foreign-made name-;
with them. The census enumerators
could give abundant witness to this, if
they would.
Ou the list of members of a Scandinavian hospital board incorporated not,
long ago by the Alberta Government
were the following; Ole Dicdrickson,
Knot Gullickson, Nils Schmidt. Evan
Olstad, and as many others of the same
order. These are tame, almost common
place, however, and may be taken inertly by way of Introduction, In the.
same- province and of tlie same tongue
are such names ns Bierinckx, Sbellen-
borger, Weldenbenimer, Muckenbirm;
and Opprtahnuser, Scblottinbofer, Stroh
mayor, and Olhciser are of Gorman lineage.
Winnipeg has a flourishing social and
political dub among the Polish young
men of the city, and some of its mom
bers and officers are these: John Tym

tgistered us Samuel Hyxchynski,
I One of the notorious personages who

I Oalicit.nt*. (loachiem Thosicltiiak is

ts another Kuthenian name, found this
time in Alberta. Of the same order
ate these: (lotella Dvspak, Stern Pas
eiiuh, .lolin Itottcnfusser and Alvn Slog
fried,
The government reports from all over
tho West are humanly interesting on
the score of names, if in no other way.

Now the thing of Importance about
all these nnmes is uot lhat they are
funny, or that they reproduce Uussia
anil Dutch town on ('uninlian sod, but
thnt they nre going on out electoral
lists, nml tin- men who possess them
will be counted among tlie bona fide
citizens of Canada. As time goes on
and the more iidnptative of them have
become fairly well assimilated, we shall
have to live on neighborly terms with
thom,' and it therefore behooves us to
get used to their names now,
If we don't like this kind of terminology how would it do to make nil
funny named immigrants take new ami
lest, dangerous looking names on landing!

What an ideal Xiuastidc! [t is
quite evident tho dork ol tho weather
hud not left arrangements to the
office-boy this year, for the white
mantle fell just, at the correct
moment, and this portion of Mother
Earth was radiant with smiles on
Christmas Day.
. .
Thus far tho winter has been one
in name only, except for about a
couple of days when we thought it
was cold, and found it was the
sun playing hide und seek, with the
mountains, ami soon returned to
encourage us in the thought that
life is worth living.
. .
As tlm New Year approaches wc
inako a rapid retrospect of the past,
and forthwith make all kinds of
resolutions regarding the future,
and especially of the immediate days
to come. Some of lis have made these
same resolutions time after time
and just. 08often have broken them.
Why this should be so, I cannot
explain, unless it is because of the
woaknoss of human nature.
# .
Talking of resolutions reminds
me of tlie resolutions and promises
of the candidates fot civic honors,
and I wonder whether the same rule
of making and breaking obtains in
these eases, too. A reference to my
diary will give me the answer, mul
I leave it at that!
* .
tlur City Council will very soon be
elected or selected, and promises of
economy and such like (as old as
thi' hills) will be again trotted out
for their annual airing. A moth-
eaten coat may answer its purpose
for a time, but even camphor balls
may become more expensive than
a new coat!
. »
Let it be understood that when a
man enters public life, he lays
himself open to criticism (I mean
genuine, honest criticism) in so far
as his public duties are concerned.
The Corporate body, of which he
becomes a unit, also becomes liable
to the censure or praise of public
opinion.
If a public man is sincere in his
intentions, honest and true in his
motives, he should court the opinion
of tbe electorate, rather than resent
expressions or approval or disapproval, whether these be given by
individuals or through the columns
of thc local newspapers.
. .
Ventilation of general opinion on
tlie leading questions concerning the-
the government of our city and
township, recommendations of
desired improvements in this or that
direction, or condemnations of any
proposals in the public business
should bo willingly received by the
representatives of the people from
the people.
• •
The Editor warns tne that space
is valuable anil as thero will be
further opportunity to touch on this
subject, I will again wish my readers
every good thing tbey could wish
for themselves, and certainly a
Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Woman in no stranger in Wall street
--that ia, in -t*V purely apeCllltttU'O
realm, Many brokers fervontly wish
that the> wen* strangers. The plain
and uogallunt reason is llmt site is ;i
very bad loser. .Sin* ih willing to tako
a cuance whon tlio prospects for a big
profit dangle, alluringly boforo her, but
when thc markot breaks and things go
to smash, she dOOfl not always under
stand the reason why.
Hence many (tig brokerage houses
discourage women's speculative, ao-
tounts. When a woman loses oil a
speculative venture she takes it sadly
to heart More llutii one broker who
bad to carry a woman 'h account for
family or busnetis reasons has mudu
losses good ral her I llftn face a scene
with the customer.
Most people ol our generation have
forgotten that Wall .Street once had n
firm of women brokers. It was Ihe
spectacular combination known as
Woodhull, 01 ah 11 tc Co., and it was back
ed by '' Commodore'' Vanderbllt. 11
lost a good deal more than it made, and
about the most permanent thing that it
achieved was « tradition of the Street.
Women speculators liavo u way of
giving orders to their brokors with
strings tied to tlinm, and sometimes
Ihose things got .sadly tangled, aa tbia
typical incident will show:
A woman who owned aome bank
stock asked a broker lu sell at 250.
The market on thia stock had not been
active for a good while, and 250 whs
tiie highest price yet roeordod for the
security One day, however, a demand
for the stock suddenly developed, and
hefore the market wns half over it
touched at Md. The broker promptly
•old tbe waaaaa's stocJ*.. Beforo the
end of tho day it rose to .100.
The broker aent word to his custom
er that be bad aold the stock at "■'■*).
according to instructions, and at-kud
her to semi turn tbe certificate. She
became very indignant ami refused to
deliver tbe stock.
"How could you aell it fm 560 when
it went to ..Ml" she said
In vain the -broke- pleaded thai he
oud simply followed instructions, ami
that he coul-.l not dieaui that it would
go lo 3'V). The chances at the time ha
**old it wore llixt it would go back to
its old figure of 8*30. Me had t**> go to

Many women who have a -.ague no
tion of speculation believe that all lha'
is necessary lo get rich in Wall Rtrocl
is to got a "tip" and play it and the
dollurt come pouring forth. This ill*
ludod idea has also got unsuspecting
mon into trouble.

Uut yon must not get the notion that
all women got their lingers scorched in
the stock-market, A few have displayed ran- judgment and discrimination,
Mrs, llotty Green, for example, yields
to few in the Street in knowledge of
financial conditions aud astuteness of
purchase, lu fact, she has n broader
grasp of money affairs than most men.
At one time she was tine of the lar
-rest owners of Louisville antl Nashville
Stock. Of late years she has only dealt
in high class bank aud trust stocks and
devoted most of her money and atten
tion to bonds nml mortgages. Heroin
she displayed sound investment souse,
Hoc sluing boxes today are packed
with securities that are practically iin
muno from Ike ravagaa of panic nm) depression.
The laic Mrs, Thomas W. Lawsoil
had a remarkable know bulge of the
slock market, amt her judgment was
almost uncanny. II is said thut the
colobratod sponsor of •' frouzlod Iln
unco" never undertook a great stock
exploitation campaign without her advice and often lier uo operation. Man)
people have not oil that lie hus not
launched an\ vast speculative enter
prises since Iter death.
One of thti shrewdest business women
in the United Suites is Mra. Frederic
C, I'onfield, who is tin: daughtor of the
late William Wolgllttnun, the "Qlllnlu
King" of Philadelphia. She not only
inherited the control of a great bus!
ucss, but the charge of a ramified financial trust. While most of the money
was employed in "ground rents," a
favorite Pennsylvania teat estate In*
w'stmont, thore was a good deal in
stocks and bonds, ami her strong, sane
administration of affairs lias greatly
enhanced the value of tho estate. Like
Mrs. Green, she has shown a man's firm
and discriminating grasp of large
affairs.
While the property of women like
Mrs. Russell Sage and Mrs. R, 11. Hani
man is administered by trustees who
have ample financial knowledge, both
take no smalt part in tbe employment
of their surplus incomes. The name is
true of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbllt, Sr.,
Miss Helen Gould. Mrs. Marshall Field,
Mrs. Levi Loiter, and Mrs, Oollis P,
Huntington,
Hut what of the average woman and
her money 1 She has no largo inherit
once with which to bulwark her de
dining years; no shrewd or far-seeing
trustee to guide and direct her funds
into the pleasant paths of profit. Yet
it is this very woman -more often the
widow and the wage earner- who cun
tributes to tho great host of small and
conservative investors, which is the
backbone and substance of the whole
nation's financial strength.
The entry of the average woman into
tlio conservative field is one of the big
goat facts in prosent-day finance. The
facts aro impressive. There are more
than two million stockholder-, in the
various corporation* of the United
•States, and of this number more than
one third, approximately eight hundred
thousand, are women. When you include the women who have savings and
other accounts and who pay premiums
on I Ifo insurance, ynu find that the
total number who have money working
for them—and investment simply means
making your money work for you - is
•ner seven millions.
Thus, while the jest and gibe are at
the expense of the woman who speculates iu Wall .Street, the profit, ami
competency re**t with those who refuse
lo be da'■-•■.led by promise of impossible
profit and are content with smaller .iu-1
(insured returns.
Formerly it was considered unusual
for a railroad or. in fact, for uny cor
potation, to hnve a large number of
womon stockholders, but at tho present
tlmo it is a very common matter. Then*
Are more than a dozen in whieh the

Wben you COfflO to the great indus
trial corporations, there ia a strong
temptation In take advantage of n very
striking fact. It develops thnt one
balf of (he stock in the Sugar Trust,
otherwise the \merlcan Sugar Refining
''ompany, in Owned by women. There
fore the logical '--inclusion would Im*
that "'ike seeks like." it is interest
ing, in this connection, tn add thst
many women preachers and doctors are
included in this list.
The Standard Oil stock has manv
women owners. The general impression
that this stock is closely held by the
Rookot'ollora and their original allied
is very much mistaken. John I); and
his fellow patriots havo more than six
thousand partners in their vast mono
poly.
So far I have only spoken of the
ownership of stocks by women. When
you turn to bonds you find a much
bigger field. Most of the womon who
own stock also havo bonds. They go
on the vory wise theory that no one
who must invest for income should buy
stocks until thoy have a nest egg of
solid, seasoned bonds.
No matter how gilt-edged a stock is,
there comes a time when it fools a
market depression. H may bo vary
slight, but most women eannet under
stand tlioso temporary fluctuations,
They get nervous and upset, and unless
strongly advised, are apt to sell out at
a loss at the first Hurry. Hence bonds
should oe the coruorstone of uil investment by Women.
When you come lo examine the bond
holdings of cautious women investors,
you discover that they have the securi
ties of the timetried railroads, whose
bonds ue legal for sin ings-baiik invest
mcnls In atates like New York, New
Jersey, Connoutlcut and Massachusetts.
Those states put the most rigid safe
guards about the employment of tht*
people's savings.
Many women own municipal bond-'
which are also legal investments for
savings banks in those states. Lately
high class public florvlco bouds—those
Itndorwrltten by strong conservative
bankers—have, crept Into the holdings
of the women who want u larger in
come than that afforded by first mort
gage railroad bonds.
In fact, whenever n big bond issue
of this kind comes out now, the bunkers
make due allowance for the needs of
womon, and tholr salesmen are instruct,
oil to make a special plea for thc woman buyer. Thus hns she reached
man 's ostate.
lu considering the woman investor
you must nol forget thai »hc plays a
big part in the savings bank structure
of the country. Of tho 9.142,000 savings bank depositors in the United
States more than fift) per cent, are
women. This shows that thoy arc
thriftier, in terms of actual dollars nnd
cents, than men.
lu New York, where there are nearly
three million depositors in tho savings-
banks, the -percentage of women de
posltors ia oven greater. In Now York
city this is due to the fact that anion;,
the Germans and Italians, who comprist
a big bulk of tho depositors, the ac
counts are in the name of the wife
who is the financial head of the family
One roaaon why the woman has en
trenched herself hu strongly in the in
vestment field is that sho learned to
louk upon the savings hank as the basis
of a competency. You enn start a aav
ings account in most states thut hnve
reliable institutions with one dollar.
The moment thnt you put this dollar
out to work yon begin your career as
investor. Your money works whr-V you
sleep.
1 ten jam in Franklin once said:
"Money makes money, and the money
that money makes makes more money."
This is the keynote to all wealth. When
you analyze the sources of tbe great
fortunes of tbe world, almost without
exception you barn that this simple
axiom lay at the bottom of the golden
heap.
There la uo witchery or running
about tho amasi/ing of riches. The
multi millionaire began by realizing thc
value of pennies. When the dollars
came the habit of' conservation waa
strong within him aud the dollars were
put where they could produce more del
[are. Then when opportunity came to
make a big strike there were ample
means with which to setxp the glittering
moment.
The Inroada that women have made
ii the straight investment field bave a
larger significance than mere sate employment of funds, They emphnsiz"
the big faot that safe and assured in
comes of four, five, and five and one
liitdf per cent, are better in tne Ion*:
run than one ''come-on" dividend of
ten or fifteen per cent, followed by the
wiping oul of all capital InVOStOd.
They help, in short, tu mnke tho woman
immune against the allurements nf the
smooth-tonguod hawker of "at. good DS

nil those other nefarious separators of
p ople nnd the!I money.

FLYING MACHINES AND THE
WAK8 OF TOE FUTURE
That the world's powers nre fully
alive to the ItnpOflftOt part which aero-
plaucs and dirigible hnllonns will play
in Ihe warfare of the future is Illustrated h*. the efforts which are being made
to invent u gun which *'ould be lliofi
against, aerinl enemies, Indeed, it is
no exaggeration to sny thnt there is a
fortune awaiting the urtil!*»'y expert
who can produce a weapon capable of
destroying au aeroplane, no mutter imw
quickly or st what height it is travelling.
According to the Fie'd, both Germany and France have been partly sue
control iii inventing guns which are
proving elToelive weapons against aero
planes. Krupp bss turned tint a gun
with a small bnre that takes a light
projectile, which, it is said, can be fired
quickly enough tw plant n bullet in an
aeroplane, even if it ia flying at the
rate of 100 miles un hour. The barrel
s comparatively long, so that a high
uittal velocity and a low trajectory
ire obtained, Telescope sights aud a
range-finder aro provided, tho latter tit
tod with an arrangomeut which gives
the necessary elevation as the distnncu
is rend off. During last year's French
manoeuvres a special gun wus used, the
invention of Captain Houperuat, in ad
ditlon to a mitrailleuse so modified tbat
it could be elevatud at a high angle
ami fired from an automobile. Further
a combined shrapnel and ordinary shell
has been introduced for use against
aircraft.
So far, however, the effects of artillery fire against balloons havo beeu
disappointing. Captive balloons which
wait patiently until thoy are hit have,
indeed, been brought down; but, if hit,
they arc not necessary placed hors di:
combat. During tho Doer War only
one case occurred of a balloon being
hit A shrapnel shell, tired at a range
of about 000 yards, burst iu front of it
ami make sixty holes; but tho balloon
took twenty minutes to come down and
was subsequently repaired.
With regard to the use of tho aero
plane in warfare, the Field has some interesting remarks to make.
"In the opinion of the man in the
street the chief function of tho aero
piano iu Might, would seem to be the
dropping of explosives on the enemy be
low. Naval and military men, how
ever, think differently; but until somo
further developments take place aerial
machines are not likely to be in a posi
tion to Inflict serious damage. To oh
cape the enemy's fire the aeroplane
must necessarily fly nt a height at
which accuracy of aim is impossible.
"The recent spectacular perform
auces at I leu ley, whore harmless
oranges were dropped from low olovn
tions well within artillery range, need
not be seriously considered. Au ex
plosive should be able to work enestd
ernble destruction iu the immediate vie
inity of the spot on which it. fell, in
pcutrnting the decks of ships and dam
aging gun-turrets nud conning towers,
while arsenals, dookynrds, fortresses of
all Kinds, and especially powder rnaga
zines are targets that would at once
attract tht* enemy,
"On the other hand, there is the fact
that nt present the light explosives
which aerial machines would be able
to drop would have vory little pone
trating or destructive power, thu machines would generally have to do
seend within rille range if they were
to be of any practical use; while thc
difficulties in the way of hitting any
thing from a moving platform in the
air. at an unknown distance from the
target, may be imagined.''
AUAB'S IVOEY PALACE FOUND
Prof. Ernest Sell in, the Austrian
Egyptologist, reports that he has found
In the Lower Jordan plain near th
road between Jerusalem and Jericho,
remains of a palace which he believes
is one of those built by Herod the
Great.
The building, asserts Bellin, might
easily lie reconstructed, after thc origi
nftl plans. Tbe expedition financed by
Jacob H. Schifl', of New York, has now
brought to light many remarkable
ruins in Palestine, of which the Sellin
"find" is not thc teast.
The remains of Israel's ancient capital are to be found, for the most part,
on a huge isolated bill, 350 feet in
height, six miles northwost of Nablus,
otherwise known as Hhechom, and
about twenty miles from tbe Meditcr
rauoan .Sen. The mount is covered with
orchards of olives, Jigs and pomegran
atos.
The first that is known of this hill
in history is wheu it was bought, about
000 B.C. by Omri. who built a town
001 led Shomeron, afterwards known as
Samaria There Ahab, the hou of Omri
built a tomple of Dual, and also ai
ivory palace. In the ivory palace In
ruled the northern kingdom down to
782 B.C.- us see the accounts in tlu
Book of Kings in the Old Testament
When Sargon captured Shomeron
(Samaria) he took away .07,000 people
into captivity. The population he left
in the city wns put under the reign of
an Assyrian Governor, and the city
was colonized by Sargon amt Ksurhad
don with Habylonians iu place of tbo
exiled Israelites. The next eonquoror
of Samaria was Alexander the Great.
The place cunlintiod to be occupied
Clear on down to the time ot Herod.

and i.Kiiu-d it Sobaste. This wa*- just

It ia near midnight. Tbu. date, October 15th, 1812, in his silver cradle
under his silken sheets in the nursery of
tbe royal palace at Karlsruhe the infant Crown I'rinco of Kndeo is sleeping
soundly.
Without a storm ragos. The furious
wind shrieks round the turrets and
shakos thu nursery windows until the
casements rattle like castenets,
Strunge that the turmoil fails to
awaken tho two nurses ou duty within.
Strange thut they should slumber at all,
and on this night of all others. It ia
their duty to keep awake until relieved.
Yet each ia fast asleep in hor chair,
fully dressed, breathing heavily, as people do when under the Influence of
drugs.
A tapestry hiding a secret sliding
panel in the wall is drawn aside from
without, ami a woman enters.
Vory softly she tip toes across the
Moor to where the little Crown I'rinco is
sleeping, lifts him from his col without
waking him, and leaves there in his
Htead another babe which site has
brought with her concealed under her
clonk. 'I he changeling is almost ...c
exact counterpart of tno other, save In
one thing. The stolen baby is ruddy,
warm, ven much alive. The duplicate
oue is pate as marble, and as cold.
Swiftly, silently as she has cume, ami
by the same way, the visitor departs,
bonrlng tlie child, still sleeping, with
her.
Next morning the palace re echoes
with tbt* shriek of a royal mother, the
Grand Duchess Stephanie, bereaved of
her infant son. The Grown Prince,
sue is Informed, has died suddenly dur
iug the night. The palh to tto* throne
lies open to tht* offspring of the Conn
less von llochberg, morganatic wife of
the reigning prince, Karl Friedrrh.
Tht* (iini.d DucnosH is denied even
the poor consolation of seeing the body
of tho babe supposed to be bers Sho
is, the court physician insists, too ill.
The shock might prove fatal
Neither is the wot nurse permitted to
look upon the dead body, or eveu to
enter the death -chamber. Tho result is
thut the dead infant is coffined by persons who had never seen it alive, and
then hurried away for burial to the
royal mausoleum.
Tlut people of Daden are nm unnaturally surprised at the sudden death of
tlieir Grown Prince, as the first bulletins had announced that the newborn
babe was perfectly healthy, and ever)
succeeding one declared him to be
thriving. There is much talk, and many
rumors. But the few who are in the
position to guess rightly dare not
speak. It wus dangerous in those
days to try to pry into the BOCrot iutri
gues of the two royal households who
shared between them the great, grim
palace of Karlsruhe.
So by degrees, nnd as the time pass
ed by. the affair was forgotten, the
rumors died away.
Until!!
Something happened that was destined to re open the mystey, and nnt
only that, but aluo to set men's ton
gues wagging to such an extent that
tho whole world knew, and wondered.
This second net of the drama opened
at Nuremberg on May 30th, 1828. It
wns Whit Monday, a favorite festival
of the townsfolk, who were mostly
making holiday in the country.
One of them, however, a worthy shoemaker named Welcbmnnn, preferred to
Stay at home, and In* it was who, somewhere about four o'clock in the after
noon, first noticed a youth, apparently
slxten or seventeen yenrs old, standing
iu a helpless and da/ed condition in
tht; middle of the mniket square.
His appearance was as extraordinary
as his manner. He wore un his head u
round, nigh felt hat. lined with yellow
silk, aid led leather. A pair of old
morocco shoes with very high heels
incased his feet. A black silk hand
ken-hief was lied round bis throat, and
a jacket ol grey cloth with riding
breeches to match complete-) his cos
tunic.
Weiehmann approached thc stranger
and questioned him, but got only a va
caul stare in return. Finding, how
ever, thnt tbe mysterious unknown hud
with him a letter addrc-sscd to the 0(1]
tain of a cavalry regiment tben BtntlO i
ed nt Nuremberg, tbe -shoemaker conducted him to thc residence of thai ofll
cer, nud lefl him there. The letter on
being opened proved to be dated ''From
tbe Confines of Bavaria, pla ■ -in
known," and the writer Htntod that he
was a poor laborer with ten children of
his own. The boy, ht) •VTOto, had been
deposited before his do.tr when •* baby.

paaalon, but now he wished to be n 1 ol

When undressed, his skin was found
to be very white. His limbs were well
proportioned, the hands and feet small
and beautifully formed, but the latter
showed no signs of ever having been
Walked upon. With the exception of
dry bread und water, he exhibited a
violent aversion to all kinds of food
and drink.
In tt few weeks Kaspar learned lo

waltz through the greater pnrt of the

though its feet wear out in the process.
This peculiar little rodent is black and

together, these Japanese dancing mice
will waltz in couples, and at times more

The Japanese say that waltzing seems
to be as essential to the happinesr-) of

110 CHILLIWACK FREE PRESS
Great Britain is beginning to breathe
freely onee more. Sho has looked for
a moment into tho abyss of anarchy;
sho has all but fallen to it. Now that
tho danger seems for tho time being to
have passed, now that tho lifo of the
nation ia slowly resuming ita normal
ways, thore is everywhere apparent a
aonae of prodigious relief. It may bo
u littio premature. Nearly a week
has passed by since the threatened and
partially realized strike of all the rail
waymon in Great Brjtain was averted
by tho deft interposition of tho government. Vet 1 havo only to tako up
this morning's papers to see that all is
still fur from being well. From many
and widely separated parts of the kingdom como reports of rioting nml unrest,
of renewed strikes, of difficulties in carrying out tho terms of peace; Liverpool
remains in a stale of semi siege ami
.lure not yet relax a single one of its
military precautions; iu Manchester
trade, is at a standstill; the dispute tin
tho London docks is still only par
tially settled; a district of Wains is
convulsed by au anti Semitic outbreak
of a kind unknown in llritish history
for centuries; ami one great railroad
system between Loudon and tho north
is still almost completely paralyzed,
Dut while there is I Iiiih plenty of
ground fur anxiety, and while, even at
the best, Home months will probably be
needed before the industrial earthquake
wo have recently witnessed has wholly
subsided) the feeling Is that tho main
danger-point a have been successfully
passed. Tho upheaval while it lasted
was sufficiently serious. It will bo
long before .»e llritish peoplt*, with all
their remarkable gift for forgetting,
consn to romember the second and third
weeks of August, 1011, They were
mado tu fuel something of the elYects
of a war iu which the llritish Hoot
had boon worsted. They saw tho Met
ropolis brought within measurable distance of starvation, thousands upon
thousands of tons uf food rotting on
tho docks, uud as unattainable as though
they woro on another continent, tho
prices of all kinds of provisions doubled
and oven trebled in a week, tho moans
of getting about the city suddenly dim
inished by one-third, owing to the
shortage ot petrol, goods piling up in
thc station yards without a chance of
delivery, bullion conveyed from the
Hank of England in taxis aud private
motor cars to evade the detection of
tho strikers; perishable food, urgently
needed, convoyed from the depots to the
markets under armed and mounted pol
ice and military escort; newspapers
driven down to their last day's supply
of paper and at their wits' end how-
to effect delivery, the Kast End a daily
and nightly scene of battles between
strikers and police, a quarter of a million people thrown out of work, the
whoio transport service of the city violently abolished, soldiers occupying the
railway stations, special constables enrolled by tno thousand, aud all London in imminent peril of being cut olf
from railroad communication with the
outer world. 'Ihey saw the great port
of Liverpool paralyzed, a fortnight pass
by without a single consignment of
goods leaving the docks or depots- except under a powerful convoy, the
transatlantic steamers compelled to
cancel their sailings, and all the strikers
and hooligans in the city in frequent
and bloody collision with the police and
soldiery. They saw similar scenes enacted in Manchester, Newcastle, Shef-
lieltl, Bristol, Hu., Swansea, und a
dozen ether ports ami manufacturing
centres. They saw finally an attempt
to bring to a total stoppage the entire
railroad ay»tcm of the country, an at
tempt that failed in its main object—
two-thirds of the railway employees remained faithful to the companies
throughout—but that disorganized traffic everywhere, paralyzed it in certain
districts, threatened the end of all industrial activity, ami was accompanied
by not a fow sinister nets of sabotage
und destruction. It seemed for a while
us though nil lubor hml broken loose
and was combining in an assault upon
tho vory framework of society, at
though Home sudden madness of vio
lonco anil pillage had descended upon
tho musses, as though all social oblig;
tions wero being thrown to the winds.
ll is impossible to go seriatim into
iho grievances put forward by so many
different grades and classes ui workers
iu so many dilt'eicut trades all over thi
country. To attempt to tlo so woub
only end iu confusion. All I can hope
to achieve ia to bring out the principal
features Oi au industrial upheaval un
precedential ia llritish history. First
of all it may, I think, be -aid with
somo aSSUrnnCO that what was at the
bottom of the whole turmoil wus a
money question ami not a political or a
class question. litre nud there it was
complicated by a demand for tho re cog
nitMm of this or that trades union, but,
speaking generally, one may sny that
through all the many divisions of the
transportation bulinOM the main point
at IssUO was one of hours and wages.
The stevedores, the lightermen, the coal
porters, the carmen, the goods porters,
tho dockers, Ihe various grades of rail-
wayniun, all asked for improved conditions of lubor in time or cash or ooth.
The cabled reports of American comment ou the strikes indicate that in
American opinion the British working
classes aro, generally speaking, underpaid, and tnat the demand for higher
wages was therefore 111 St 111 0(1. So far
as tho dockers ami tlieir allied groups
are concerned I shall say that Amerl
can opinion was right; but J nm more
doubtful in regard to the railwaymen,
and would urge that to tako "aver
ages" of salaries iu a service where
aomethlng like a third of the employees
nre boys ia a highly fullacious proceeding, especially when no account, or insufficient account, is tnk-on of tho per*
manonco of railway employment, the
provision of free cloths nnd uniforms,
the special superannuation, pension, in-
80 U ran CO, benevolent, educational, ami
accident funds, the f-ee pusses at holiday time, ami the facilities thrown open
to the employees for nequlrlng cottages
nnd allotments at prices that hardly re
turn two por cent, to tho companies. In
Great Britain, as in tho United States,
to enter tho service of a railroad is to
capture one of tho prizes of the lubor
market, and no company over has tho
slightest difficulty in filling nil its vacancies. Indeed, while the demand for
higher wages undoubtedly operated
with many sections of railwaymen, what
caused tho attempt at a general strike
was rather resentment over tho dilatory
workings of tho Concilintiou Boards
set up by Mr. Lloyd-George in 1007 to
settle uil internal disputes, coupled with
tho determination of tho trades unions
to Boeuro recognition. There woro of
courso many other contributing influences of a moro general description. Lab
or in England, us elsewhere, growing
yearly more mechanical, grows yearly
moro bored. Of late years, too, it has
been worked upon by the golden promises bold out by the government of a
new social era. It was never more
conscious than now of the inequalities
in tho distribution of wealth ami opportunity nnt) it has begun to see that
many of the measures adopted by the
Legislature for too special boiioflt of
Ihe working classes carry with them
BtdornblO disadvantages. It iw right,
for instiltico that employers should
OOliipoiisnto tholr workmen for accidents
uml injuries; but when the result is
legalizing the principle of coiupeusatiou
is to make it difficult for a middle aged
workman either to keep or llml a job,
can it bit salt) thut labor as a whole is
greatly benefited! Another and more,
immediate cause of tht* strike was undoubtedly the excessive heat. Nothing
like it has been known in Knglnml for
a generation or more. We havo all
beeu wilted, irritable, inclined to be
lazy, still more inclined to magnify our
grievances and complain of our lot;
and I have a good ileal of sympathy
with any ono doing manual work under
an almost tropical sun, living in a festering, sweltering slum, who feels the
temptation to lay oil' for a while and
vary the routine of life by cracking a
policeman's skull. lt is quite probable that if we hud a normally cool
ami rainy August the discontent would
either not have come to a head or
would have taken a far milder form.
A prominent feature of the crisis has
been the testimony it has borne to tho
increasing solidarity ami interdependence of labor. A strike formerly, und,
as a rule, was confined to a single section of a single industry and wus directed against a single employer. The
other sections in thc same Industry, or
the same sections working for other
employers, were neither dragged into
tho strugglo nor felt any call to participate in it. Jf tho stevedores struck
against one of the dock companies,
other stevedores in the service of other
and possibly neighboring dock companies might still remain at work without
incurring reproach or running the risk
of being violently intimidated; and because the stevedores struck thut wus
no reason why tho lightermen nnd carmen should follow suit. A strike used
thus to be a strictly localized affair.
Trouoo on one railroad did not necessarily imply trouble on all railroads.
The porters, again, might strike while
the signal-men ami engine-drivers would
remain faithtul. But we have learned
once ami for all from the recent convulsions that those easy, haphazard
methods nre obsolete. Labor nowadays is far better organized and far
more alive to the value of unity nml
cohesion. The result is that we have
seen men, with admittedly no grievances ut all, leaving their work ami
throwing down their tools iu order to
show tlieir sympathy with their fellow-laborers who hud struck for some
definite cause. We have seen a strike
not ot sections or groups, but of whole
Industries, We have seen the principle enforced that no one section or
group could return to work until all
sections and groups had been satisfied.
There is no necessary connection between dockers ami railway men. But
bot li a re engaged i n t he busl BOSS of
transportation, and at Bristol tht* phenomenon was witnessed of dockers, whose
demands had beon complied with, re
fusing to go back to work because a
small majority of them could uot work
while tllO railway men were out ou
strike, lu the same way tin* troubles
at the London docks have been greatly
prolonged because nil sections, or almost all, hung together uud would nol
resume work BO long as any section
remained iiuappcused, lu tin* same way,
again, the men employed by dilfcrent
railroad companies havo struck not because they hud uuy grievam f their
own, but because men employed in other
capacities t\u,l by other railroads had
Struck. This is a vory significant de
velopmenl. It means thai a strike
ti gainst pari icu lar employers quickly
turns into a strike against the o
muiiity at large.
Another foaturo of the disorders was
(he extent to which picketing was curried ou by the sit ike: h with ii view
both of coercing the faithful to come
out and to preventing the employment
of " senb" or '' blackleg'' labor.
"Peaceful" picketing is permitted by
British law. That is to say, a striker
may " peacefully'' persuade a non
striker to leave work. Dut in practice it wus found all over the country
that this legal permission resulted iu
the grossest and most violent intimidation nud was, indeed, one of the main
OnUSOS of Ihe turmoil in the streets ami
of the continuance of the strikes, The
question is one of infinite difficulty
wherever Industrialism exists. On tho
oue hand, a man who desires, ami is
willing to take, a vacant post ought, it
is saitl, to be free to do so, ami all thi*
power of the state should be exercised
to prevent his liberty to choice ami notion from being taken nway. Ou the
other ham) a man who stops into a job
vacated by a laborer on st.ike is com
mining, from the stondpoint of the
working classes, the crime of crimes.
Detweeu then* two attitudes, when it
comes to a Struggle, there is little room
for compromise, 11 depends on the
forco each can command which side
wins. This brings me to the part pluy-
d by the government throughout the
whole trouble. It wns eminently firm
uird-cminonrly pacifying! • Hardly; one
of tho innumerable disputes that brolw
out w-as oompoaed with oui Uie intervention of the experienced and universally
trusted officials of tho Bonrd of Trade,
Tbey worked untiringly and with wonderful buccoss, und tho advantage accruing to the nation from the possession
of a corps of gentlemen who aro acquainted with tho technical details of
nearly all industries and who aro past
masters in tho art of ingeminating
peace botwoon workmen and omployors
was never moro magnificently demonstrated. At tho sumo time tho government did not rely on negotiations
alone. It took a decided stand on tho
necessity of keeping the railroads of
tho country working to insure the conveyance of the mails and food supplies.
lt bucked up the police whon their conduct was attacked in tho house and tho
press. Above all, it culled out thu
military. One hail almost begun to
fear that' the moro robust virtues had
been swallowed up iu tho flabby, vote-
hunting son ti mentation that is swamping llritish public life. Dut the government, radical though it bu, showed
that fact* to face with a crisis it knew
how lo meet it. From Ilrst to last it
used no less than lil'ly tliousautl soldiers in repressing riots and guarding
the railways, ami if the necessity had
arisen it would havu used four times as
many.
There aro two other points worth
dwelling on. Tho lirst is that tho Labor members of parliament were as much
surprised as tlio rest of tho public by
the extent ami violence of the industrial unrest. They did not originate
the agitation nor could they control it.
So far as it was the work of any ono
person, the Labor leaders who havo always been bitterly opposed to tlio action of thu Labor M.lVs ami to tho
whole policy of labor representation in
Parliament, ami who belie ve that
for the working classes thero is
only one really effective weapon — the
universal strike—wero responsible for
it. This may mean, though 1 do not
think it will, that tno same sort of derision which already exists in Franco
will declare itself iu Kngland, nnd that
labor will be split up between those
who favor parliamentary ugitation and
those who favor "direct action. Tbe
"direct actionists,'' as they call themselves, have at auy rate given a startling display of their power, and in doing so they have shown incidentally
that the majority of the Labor M.IVa
aro entirely out of touch with the special section of the population they profess to represent. The second point
which thc disorders have strikingly emphasized is that "collective bargaining" which used to be considered the
strongest point in trade unionism is now-
fast becoming impossible, because thc
rank and file of trade unionists refuse
to follow their leaders or to be bound
by auy agreements entered into in
their name. It was one of the express conditions of tho railroad settlement of 11)1)7 tnat there should bo no
strike until 1914, Nevertheless thero
has been a strike. Similarly wheu
thc terms ou winch the trade union
leuders ami the railroad directors had
patched up a truce a few days ago were
made known, they were repudiated by
the men in one railroad centre after
another. The same thing happened in
thu case of thc various interests affected by the trouble at the docks. Thc
phenomenon of strikes taking place
against the advice of trade union leaders, of meu rejecting the terms of peace
concluded on their behalf by their own
executive, and of lawlessness, inexperience, and in discipline triumphing in
the councils of trade unionism over
responsibility ami common sense, is perhaps thu most sinister development laid
bare by the recent disorders. Unless
it is checked it must infallibly bring
trade unionism clattering to the ground.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
A man can change his name when he
grows up, if an unkind parent has
weighted him with something like

.Many horses get their names in quite

Many owners, too, have a craze for

find favor with the public. A g

famous of all jockeys, Fred Archer.
Then there were those well known

SELFISH MAN

A selfish woman is an abomination;
ho is a selfish man, but he is nut made
tu realize it. Instead of deploring tuu
Selfishness of men, fight it. This may
mean ructions, but it will polish up masculine manners.
Men are not born selfish, and it is the
fault of some ono else that a nice man
becomes inconsiderate.
Who is to blame? Generally every
one with whom tho boy comes in contact. It is not tho heathen parent
only who is puffed with pride over the
man-child. No girl baby over causes
tho unctuous voice in which a young
father says, "My son!" Even the
mother haa a longing that tho firstborn be a boy.
What follows? Spoiling. He is
treated like a special being, though be
may be trained to actual obedience.
Less is required of him, more is excused him, because he is a boy. No
wonder he exueta attentions as a
right.
When thu cook leaves, does brother
wash dishes? Not he. He is at the
ball field or at easo in u hammock
while sister must put her hands into
thc greasy dishwater.
And the odd part of it is that, while
little sister muy murmur at bor un-
genial task, may oven sulk or storm,
sho does not demand thut little brother help.
The mother i.-; to blame here. Why-
should housework be considered derogatory, to boyish dignity? Why should a
man let a delicate youug wifo work
alone whenever the cook is out? Ue
wouldn't if the boy had been taught to
handle broom and tlustcr, carpet beater,
and even dishwater every time the cook
left.
Custom may be responsible for this
form of selfishness, but the new
mothers must override this bad custom.
When a wife takes a haul it is too late;
selfishness is secure.
If mothers only realized thut they
were training their sons for unhnppi-
ness they would take more pains to
make them thoughtful. Half the un
happiness iu marriage is caused by a
selfish husband.
One girl who visited in tbe bomo of
her fiance a month before the wedding
broke her engagement. She loved the
man, but not enough, she said, to be
the slave to him that his mother nnd
sisters were.
If in n family uny one must give
up, make sacrifice, it should be the
boy of the house. Girls aro not so
easily spoiled; it is their nature to
lavish atteulion on loved ones, and
they will not make worse wives for
expecting unselfishness in a husband.
A man will not be a prig because he
can think of bis mother and sister.
He'll make a much better husband nnd
father than if he cultivated his muscles
and brain aud let his heart be atrophied
with selfishness ami the tradition thut a
man shouldn't help in the house.
BREEDING BUTTERFLIES
The business of raising butterflies is
proving profitable to several persons in
this country ami abroad. Costly specimens are grown to satisfy thu whims uf
Collectors, and these earn fat prices for
the breeder. When the "butterfly
man" grows a phenomenon he occasionally doubles, triples, or even quadruples
his income. One rare species is thut
having threads Of black or chestnut
over u while or yellow wing, each
specimen bringing from $-*i0 to $80.
Sponklug generally, however, more pro
fit is hi the common than iu the rare
varieties. A bulterlly which is white
every where Imt at the neck is favored;
this sells iu enormous quantities ut ten
cents apiece, sixty cents per dozen be
ing paid for tin* worms, and forty cents
per dOBOn for tho Oggs. The buyers
an* mostly students nr directors ui col
leges when* mil utul history is taught,
nml tholr orders an*, iu comparison with
III010 of the collectors ui rare kinds,
frequent ami large. As the principal
food of the bulterlly is the nettle, violet, or heart 'sense, the outlay is at no
time expensive, Tlu* principal care
lies ia the cultivation of the. worms.
The best of these are kept in glass
cages or iu cages of lliu* copper wire,
securely closed; but others live on garden shrubs covered with muslin sucks
which are so arranged as to be unfolded like au umbrella held top down.
This is important to avoid mutilating
branches or losing worms. Tho cages
are put on a table the legs of which
are encased in tubs of water aa a precaution against preying insects. Portable winter quarters for the growth of
plants for "the stock" to feed on, are
furnished by a wash tub filled with
earth and plants, covered by a tablo-
top with a hole cut in the centre, ami
surmounted by a glass ense.

THEFTS FROM THE LOUVRE
In the window of tho Paris Journal
office is au ancient Phoenician statuette
bearing a painfully modern inscription
to the effect that it was stolen from
tho Louvre ou May i*. As it has been
identified by the curator of tho Louvre,
we are justified in believing the whole
of the story told by the polite ami communicative thief, who regrets that out
of the many articles taken by him from
the galleries this is the only one that
he is able to restore,
Tiie Journal wishes it to be understood thnt it is not prepared to purchase
everything that has been stolen from
the Louvre. It has neither the money
nor tho storage space for such a pur
pose. Its original offer was a reward
of $10,000 for the "Giucomia" and "no
questions asked." This offer produced
u letter from the thief of the statuette,
who was willing to restore it at his
own price, and as the proprietors of tbo
Journal thought that it would make a
gootl object lesson thoy paid tho money
ami put the statuette in their window.
The unnamed ami unknown thief says
that he began to steal from the Louvre
in March, 1007. It was simplicity itself. It was so easy as to be tamo and
monotonous. It was liku taking candy
from a baby. He made a good deal of
money by it, nnd so paid a visit to
America. And on bis return he decided to start a littio museum of his
own, being a man of aesthetic sensibilities. But to his consternation he
found that he had competitors. Most
of tho accessible and portable objects
had already been taken, but nevertheless he acquired a femulo bust nearly
as big as himself and the Phoenician
statuette. It took him twenty minutes
to get nway with the bust under his
overcoat, ami now that the "Gioconda"
hu-rWHieeu stolen he foresees that thero
will be combinations iu restraint of
trade and that he must abandon his
Idea of a private collection or else acquire it In some other way. And in
confirmation of his story there in the
Journal window is the Phoenician statuette identified by the curator as the
property of the Louvre.
ANCIENT BUILDINGS IN DECA7
Among the many ancient buildings
in Vienna which are .nst fulling prey
to tho modern builder is one of particular interest to tho medical faculty, lt
is situated ln the Welhburggasso, in the
heart of tho old city, and dates buck to
tbo fourteenth century. It was then
the House of the Medical Faculty, and
in it took place thc first legal dissection of n human body iu central Europe. Emperor Frederick had doc recti
for the purposes of medical scionce a
human body might bo cut open only
once iu live years. An Italian physician, (falcaro ui Padua, brought the art
of anatomy to Vienna, and performed
the first dissection in this house on
February 1-th, 1*10*1, The work continued eight days, and after it was ended nil the participants joined ia a high
mass for the soul of the departed.
Further dissections took place in the
fifteenth century, but only five in
vienna, in the year 141**, 1444, 1452,
1485 and 1469, Until 1452 only male
bodies wore allowed to be dissected. In
that year, at tho urgent request of the
faculty, a female body was permitted
tu be dismembered. It happened in
May of that year that six women had
been condemned to death, and the burgomaster gave tho body of one of them
to tho faculty. The dissection took
place ou May 10 in the old house now
being torn down. Deacon Johannes
Zeller was the lecturer, and the prosecutor was tho Surgeon-Master Jakobus.
Eighty years later the old faculty house
passed into the possession of the church.

WHEAT, BARLEY

Owing tn so much unfavorable weather, many farmer--; over Western
Canada have gathered at least part of their crop touched by frost or
otherfflio weather damaged. However, through the large shortage is
corn, oat**, barley, fodder, potatoes ami vegetable***., by the unusual hem
and drought of hint summer in the United Btotes, Eastern Canada aad
Western Kurope, there in going to be a ItOOdy demand at good prl ■■•
for all the grain Wet-tern Canada has raised, no matter what lti quality
may be.
So much variety In quality makes it impossible for those less experienced to judge the full value that should 00 obtained for SUefa grain,
therefore the farmer never stood more in need of the services ol the
experienced and reliable grain commission man to act for him, iu the
looking after ami selling of his grain, than lie does this season.
Farmers, you will therefore tin well for yourselves not to accept
street or track prices, but to ship your grain by carload direct to Port
William or Port Arthur, to be handled by us in a way that will get
for you all there ih iu it. We make liberal advance! when desired, on
receipt of shipping bills for cars shipped. We never buy your grain on
our own account, but act an your agents in selling it to the best advantage for your account, and we do no on a fixed commission of Ic per
bushel.
Wc hnvo made a specialty of this work for many years, nnd are
well known over Western Canada for our experience in the grain trade,
reliability, careful attention to our customers' interests, ami promptness
in making settlements.
We invito farmers who have not yet employed ii*. to write to ns for

standing in the Winnipeg (»rnln Trade, nn.l nur financial position, we
beg to refer you to the Union Hank of Canada, and any of it** branches,

A TRIP TO PRINCE RUPERT AND GRAHAM
ISLAND. CmcItM
orchard land and well drained
houso and barn locations, enough
timber to put up all buildings and
fences, utc, and excellent water
facilities. All the water is
absolutely pure and soft antl though
slightly discolored on account of
thc soil, quite clear and tasteless.
I can hardly imagine a country
better found in natural rcscources
and supplies for settlement. Good
soil of variety, splendid timber,
easy clearing in many parts, good
and abundant water, splendid water
turned to bis home on \\Y'lt»«oluv. transportation, high land aud low
and every indication of coal,
petroleum, and other minerals,
even to gold and platinum in the
black sand, on thc east beach.
All kinds offish, halibut, salmon,
rock cod, sea bass, trout, etc.;
wild geese and ducks and grouse
in thousands. Huckleberries, cranberries, salmon berries, salnlberries,
strawberriers, (very large and prolific), a good deal of yellow cedar,
and considerable yew whicli is a
very hard wood.
It must bo remembered that
Graham Island is right in tlie
waters of the most splendid deep
sea fulling on the Pacific Coast, an
industry which is hardly tapped as
yet, but is even now of very great
imporUincc to tbe Province. Tbe
whaling is in itself no small item as
-lot) whales were slaughtered at
.Widen lust season. But tho halibut
fishing is the biggest industry and
a large curing and fertilizer plant
is in stalled even now at Prince
Rupert. A licet of sixteen steam
fishing Ihi- '. are now on order in
England and a huge plant is to be
erected in Prince Rupert right away
that will employ 500 men. The
Island is on the Oriental steamship
route from terminus of the G. T.
P. and if the coal turns out half as
good us expected a large coaling
business will spring up on tbu
Island.
The G.T.P. the 0. N. R. and the
C. P. R. have each got charters for
construction of railroads on the
Island and nn doubt thc natural
resources have been the means of
turning the attention of these pushing corporations to thc possibiitics
of good business for tho future. Tho
development of these resources will
create a market not to be sneered
at. Added to this Prince Rupert is
growing and will grow very rapidly.
They will need all sorts of product.
Graham Island is the only good
agricultural land within easy reach
of the City especially in thc dairying lines. Then- are nil sorts of
posts and stations und little towns
along the main-land Coast and the
whole of the vast country to tho
north tu bo supplied. Graham
Island will stand in thc same relation to Prince Rupert as the lower
Fraser Valley is to Vancouver. Tlio
climate is the same as the climate
of Victoria, but on account of the
Japan current, somewhat warmer.
The rainfull, cast of the mountain
range, is about forty indies por
annum and summer frosts are unknown. The land is very cheap,
815.00 per acre and up. This is for
land second to nunc in the Fraser
Valley, for dairying and general
farming and equal to land selling
today in this locality for 8200 per
acre in a wild state. It is the very
last west and as such is attracting
great attention even from as far
away as Winnipeg. I have no
hesitation in recommending anyone who wants cheap land, either as
a settler or an investor, though at
present the settler is wanted the most.
On the block of land we visited alsiut
twenty families are going to settle
in the spring and it is expected a
storo and small sawmill will be
established. A school can lie got if
ten or a dozen pupils are ussured.
Other developments of uu important
nature are also projected, though
as all arrangements are not as yet
completed the dntoils are not for
publication. Members of our party
purchased among thom over 1000
acres, all of which will lie under a
procosa of Improvement next summer. It must he rememlrered that
the summer days are very long and
thc growth accordingly very rapid,
I fully iiiieiid to make another trip
next May and hope to get together
a largo party to visit this land
of promise.
1 shall ho glad at any time to show '
the samples of soil I Isiugbt back,
also soiut photographs of the lands,
etc., taken on our trip and give any
information in my power with reference to the Island ami what we
saw there. I might in conclusion
add that it was learned while at
Massett that the Government havo
declared their Intention of placing
an Experimental Farm somewhere
on tho Island whicli will lie a great
benefit to the settler. Thanking
you Mr. Editor for your courtesy
and space. I am.
Yours truly,
