London, Jan. 21.���������Lord Strathcona died at 1:55 this morning. The aged statesman's last moments were very quiet, and lie passed away peacefully in his , Bleep. r His Lordship's fatal illness was but short, and . it was realized from an early hour Saturday 'morning that he was sinking beyond recovery. An attack of catarrh, which would have been a comparatively trifling matter for a, man in the prime of life, was too severe a strain for one who 'had pafised the four score and ten mark well over three years" ago.- The malady completely prostrated him,.eventually inducing heart weak- ;nes8,_���������80 that the aged patient sank into a state of coma, the end looming peacefully at an early hour Wednesday morning. - Hon. Mrs. Howard, Lord Strathcona's only daughter, arid to whom /the title descends by Boyal patent; was present at the end, as were other members of the family. The house at 28 Grosvenor Square was besieged by inquiries as to the venerable statesman's condition, the King and Queen being solici- tious, and with other members of the;, Boyal family, made repeated inquiries. On his 93rd birthday on August 6 he attended a private luncheon given by Senator Jaffray of Toronto, and the same week entertained the med- ~ieai congress. - - - - " Qreat Blow to Him. The death of Lady Strathcona in November last was a great blow to him, but even then the venerable High Comissioner's force of will asserted itself, and he insisted on attending the funeral. A week later he attended the Hudson's Hay meeting. This was his last appearance in public, and the meeting in December at the Mansion House, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, to further,the scheme for the Dominion's exhibition at the Crystal Palace next year, was without the presence of the Canadian High Commissioner, who had been the first to take an active interest in the project.

Ottawa, Jan. 20.���������Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., Vancouver, has given notice of a bill to amend tbe Money Lenders' Act. As the act stands now, the restriction of interest charges is to sums of $500 or under. Mr. Stevens proposes to strike out this clause and make the act applicable to all loans, no matter how large. Should this meet the eye of John Latta or family, late of Prestwick road, Ayr, Scotland, please communicate with James Napier, of Falkland road, Ayr, now residing at 1752, 13th avenue east, Vancouver, B.

You'boldly state that Moses never wrote the Pentateuch'; In fact, you tear to pieces all that's good within the Book. You tell us that poor Aiiam was never was in - ��������� Paradise; ' That Enoch never walked with God, translated to the skies; III. That Israel never crossed the sea, a-walking on the sand; That there were never giants in the fabled Canaan land; ._ The walls of Jericho fell not when rams' horns sounded loud; There was no ark of covenant or fiery pillar cloud. IV. You relegate to mystic lore that Noah built the ark; That Cain his brother Abel slew, and after bore God's mark; God never gave commandments from the mount' of Sinai,- And never loved His people as the apple of His eye. V. Samson never slew his foes with jawbone of an ass; Nebuchadnezzar, for his sin, was made to eat no grass; Poor Jonah never saw a whale, nor Daniel lions' den; Nor did God give the visions Daniel tells of with his pen. VI. Elijah on Mount Carrael never met the priests of Baal, Nor did the fire from heaven fall and make the wicked quail; And Abraham, the faithful, never offered up his ���������son; - ------ Nor was Job ever tempted 'till the victory he won. VII. The water never turned to wine; the widow's son, of Nain, Was never raised to life and health by Jesus once again; The multitudes were never fed by loaves and fishes small; You say, when all is done and said, there's nothing true at all. You vnr. the. dare to teach that Jesus never healed lepers ten, Nor broke the hold which demons had upon the sons of men; The Holy Ghost did not descend on day of Pentecost; Poor sinners were not purchased by the Blood at .such a cost. ..\ ,:. ;:.>;IX..;-'" "���������''������������������ -..

Radical changes were made in the personnel of the Municipal Councils in Greater Vancouver for 1914. Whether for the better or not remains. to be seen. That good men were elected may be taken for granted, but that outgoing men are inferior is open to question. Reaaona forHhe sweeping changes, are .easily found, some of which are:��������� ��������� , , r ' K A shortafe in the money supply of Greater^ Vancouver, in common with the world at large. The forced, idleness of thousands of citizens with loss of income.to themselves and their former employers. General depression in business, resulting in embarrassment, strained relations between creditors and debtors, business failures and wide spread dissatisfaction and unrest. Under prevailing^ unhappy conditions what more natural than an attempt to locate the cause of the trouble! Here as elsewhere the populace, unacquainted with the underlying, principles of the *^ebb and, flow", of the. money-nurj^^andfeis������??^������^- being uncustomed to diagnose economic diseaae, ^ attach undue values to surface appeiSlnlowiSin^lM nefirby forces to the neglect of the invi8Sble1b^*^|Siii������ ," potent causes of trouble.

Officera thus summarily discharged are thereby discounted, not only flit home,, but abroad, as far as reports are carried. This is to be deplored, and should be prevented if possible.

The "ebb and flow" of trade are, in tlie main, as indifferent to local conditions as the ocean tides. Greater Vancouver is soon "coming into feeir; own," not by virtue of the outgoing or incoming of officials, but by the universal law of ''progress.'5 and the co-ordinate law of 'Hhe^ryiyal^ of the fittest." The forward movement way not be on a plane or in a straight line, but^ nothiiig less than a national blunder can prevent this city * reaching gigantic proportions and fabulous wealth in the years immediately ahead/: - ? Should' the anticipated improvement occur in 1914 endorsement will thereby be given to the action of the electors in forcing a change of officials; nevertheless no real value should be^attached to the endorsement unless success is,:'l achieved in the surrounding commercial world. "Honor to whom honor is due." Here is an an opportunity to "play fair." GENERAL BOTHUND THUTRIHE It is the day of surprises. One of the greatest and latest is the surprise given the world by the General-Premier of South Africa. The Socialists and others undertook to put into force one of.the most comprehensive strikes of this century. By the time they had, nicely started, they ran foul of the hero of the late Boer War, and they caught a Tartar. ; ? This man who figured so largely in the war, and later in the councils of the new Confederation, as well as among the Premiers who met in; Britain, G,has given the whole world "a lesson in settling strikes undertaken against the State. Britain, Germany and the United States may be able to make notes for the sake of comparison. As a matter of fact, France led the way last year or the year before. But General Botha put inore speed and drastic force into motion and effect. It will ���������'be well to study his methods very carefully. One must give him credit for fearlessness and sincerity in his work. The results will be of deep and far-\ reaching importance, and there will be many observers watching j; to'get a true vision, so as to guide themselves and others later. y '-'^ - The fallacy of the strike has long been; per- i ceived by many persons, and it is about time that the Socialists and the!: W. W.'s.had a glimpse of this important fact. Strikes hurt the strikers more than any other persons or classr When the- Socialists began ijjeir propaganda, the leaders1 worked straight against the strike, and they ���������������������������,'������������������; (Cwnimrai en Pat* 9} v? *m ^HW'i-KT- Wzm: '> THE WESTERN CALL.

C, Jan. 13th 1913. , Western Call, City:��������� Dear Sir���������Here is a bit of information that is really worth repeating, particularly now, at the merrymaking time, Christmas time. The facts are these: Some few years ago a poor widow in Vancouver borrowed from a money lender or logger, I cannot give you the name, but he was a money lender. He lent the poor widow some $75.00, I think. The money fell due about Christmas. There was sickness in the family, son out of work, so she could not pay the money. This money lender wrote a letter, threatening to sell up every bit of her furniture. In a terrible distress she went to a lawyer. Fortunately for her this lawyer was hot only a lawyer, but he was a man. After telling him her troubles, he said he will see what he could do. lie went to sec the money lender, and asked him not to take proceedings against the poor widow, and not to sell her furniture. But this the money lender refused to do. He did not care for Christmas or for any other time, nor did he care for a poor widow being turned out of her house. The money was due to him, he said, and "1 will have it" This lawyer, who happened to be a man, pleaded with this logger again and again, but finding it impossible to move this money lender to- a little sympathy, gave up the contest, and said: "Look here, Mr. Money Lender, I will- pay you the money for this poor widow, and some day I will get it back." I want you to remember this, Mr. Money Lender, that the day is coming when I will be paid.'* I _ think this lawyer ought to .have a monument built right in the center of Vancouver. "Sitting"' in his office one day^-25 loggers walked in and they wanted this lawyer to put a lien on some logs .'���������������������������for work done. He looked at the , men, and said: ...- "Whose logs are :'these?" ^ "They belong to a certain ^ money lender or logger." "Ah," says ?-the lawyer,s "I see, this is just the 'case I have been waiting for. I have been waiting years for this to come." Taking the facts from the men, he said: "All right," and within a very short time he issued 25 liens. (One would have done, you know.) But this a case where he wanted to get back the $75.00. He issued 25 liens and put 25 sheriffs in charge at about $3 a day. One sheriff would have been enough, but then, you know, there were 25 liens, and as he wanted to ppt paid, knowing that this money le er had lots of money, he put 25 sheriffs in charge. On the following day, down came Mr. Money Lender or logger in a terrible rage, saying he wanted to pay the bill. "All right," said the lawyer, "Pay the bill." "How much is it?" he said. "Well, it is 25 writs, each at so much, and 25 sheriffs at so much; you got the bill." "Oh! but I am not going to pay so much," said this money lender.. "It is a down right shame for you to put in 25 writs and 25 sheriffs, running me into all this expense. I will not pay all this money." "All right," said this man lawyer; please leave my office; I have my work to do." "But I don't want to leave without paying my bill," said this money, lender. "Well," said the lawyer, "pay the bill and have done with it, or I shall charge you extra for my time." And this money lender had to pay the money. When he had signed his check and handed it over to the lawyer, the laweyr said: "Thank you, Mr. Logger. Don't you remember a few fears ago loaning a poor widow $75 on her furniture at a big interest? And no doubt you qemember ydu wanted to sell her out before Christmas time, too, and no doubt, you,remember my putting up the money for, her out of my own pocket, telling you that some time I will be paid. Now, Mr. Logger, I am getting my payment back, and as you are leaving my office, I wish you good afternoon." Mr. Money Lender and Logger had to pay the lawyer instead of the widow paying the money lender. READER. Grandview MIMOSA. By its production last Thursday and Friday of "Mimosa," a Japanese comic opera, in the auditorium of the King Edward High school, the Corinthian society set a standard for opera work, which has never been approached by any amateur organization in the city. When the curtain rose each evening, the audience was astonished at the magnificence of the scenery, which was far superior to the average theater scenes in Vancouver. To fully criticise each principal would take too much space, but judging by the bursts of applause and the number of encores demanded, the society's offering did not go amiss. Perhaps the two scenes which went down best of all with the audience, followed one another in close succession in the second act. The first was when six handsome British officers rather easily managed to instruct six pretty Japanese girls in the difficult art of kissing, and the duet, "I Take Thee Forever," by Miss E. Mary El- vin, in the title role, and Mr. H. Geldert as Mitsu. The chorus, both in action and singing, gave evidence of most care, ful training, and deserved the support of a better orchestra. Miss H.

Such, was the offence for which, according to the county records, Mjchael Stephens, aged 27, suffered death by hanging at Launceston on September 5th, 1820. Now, it was no unusual thing at that time for a man with a family earning, when he was working, eight or nine shillings a week of sixty long, weary hours, and when he was not working, which especially in the winter was very often the case, he was on the verge of actual starvation, to visit a neighboring farm at dead of night, catch a good fat wether, take it to some quiet spot, kill and dress the carcass, carefully burying the [entrails, etc., and share the mutton with his neighbors, as hard up as himself, or sell a part of it to the landlord of one of the many public housesi' 'that abounded all over the country arid who often acted in collusion with him in this and other things of this kind. But I happen to know that "Michael Stephens, aged 27," was a single man, living at at home with his parents', so what induced Michael to kill this ram and steal part of its carcass must remain a mystery unless we imagine that in some lonely cottage one night Michael and some of his select friends had a feast of mutton chops and barr ley bread on the quiet. Now, it happened that' some few,;months previous to this tragedy at Launceston that my father's uncle, Mr. Hichard .Men-- herinick, of Treguddick farm, near Launceston, attended .one of the fairs in the neighborhood 1 for the purpo'se ofpurchasingisomclive stock;, uHe was accompanied by my father's eldest brother,' a lad of 15* and after buying some sheep returned home, accompanied by a neighbor, a Mr. -r������������������, who had; also bought some sheep; both flocks being driven home together. The next morning Mr. ������������������- discovered that one of his rams-had been killed during the night, and as shown on ithe records, "part of its carcass,, stolen.

W.DOWDING Captain and Adjutant {> to the arrest and conviction of Michael Stephens, jr., has not come to my knowledge. But the young man, who lived in the parish of Stokeclims, land, was duly arraigned before one of His Majesty's judges and a jury, composed of /12 "good men1 and true," who, after hearing the evidence, sol-������ emly retired and as solemly returned bringing \n their verdict of "Guilty." The judge then solemly, putting on the black cap solemnly, pronounced the sentence that "You be taken to the place from whence you came and from thence to .the place of execution and hanged by the neck until you are dead and so on,* and the crime crime stealing a few pounds of mutton valued at perhaps seven or eight shillings, perhaps less. T,hose were days when the gallows , 'stood black in the way, The larger the town, the more plen- tiful they. And the stealer of sheep and the slayer of men ; Were strung up together there again and ^again. ? , It was about noon on the 5th of September arid; the usual crowd of travelers and loafers were gathered around the doorway and bar or seated in the tap room of the "Sportsman's Arms;" still standing on the main broad about half way between Callington and Launceston, when a heavy one-horse cart^ driven by a heavy, stolid looking man,^lumbered io^th^road^and ^topp^:^ the" door. The cart contained something covered with straw. The" driver .slowly got off the cart, entered the bar and called for a pint of four- penny beer. Then taking a potato "pasty"; from .his pocket, he seated himself on a bench, and,proceeded to eat h������s lunch. He was. at once recognized by one of the men, who hailed him: "Hullo, Mike, where e've ben this mornin'?" "W'y/ I've bin ovvur to Lac.,' son, arter Mike." "Arter Mike? YVhat'er appened tu Mike?" "W'y, deddene know? Mike was hanged this mornin' an' I'm takin' him-'om tu Stoke tu bury *im." So after coolly and stolidly finishing the remains of his lunch, Michael, sr��������� mounted his cart and drove on to Stoke with what remained of his son. I am not sure but I think Michael Stephens was the last man hanged in England for sheep stealing. The execution of Wm. Rowe, of which an account will be given in next week's Call, took place about 2 years earlier. S. Mary the Virgin, South Hill. (Cor.

Passing through the first narrows of Burrard Inlet,' it way somewhat noticeable that the. several swifter going crafts were easily passing, lis, but we could remember that the "race is not always to the swift." But there is "that noise." which, to the unaccustomed ears, is, indeed, doleful. When first we heard it after our arrival in Vancouver, my wife would ask: "Where is it?" as we listened in the hours of late and early darkness, to hVoft repeated call. -If you have not guessed yet what it is, perhaps the following description may help you. ; It begins as if in the key of G., a heavy, strong and full time, as if the voice of some mighty beast in great distress, 'and continuing; on for several seconds when it manifests a slight decadence for a moment. Then with a quick drop, it .ends, as if-the great beast had fallen exhausted, as it uttered what seemed almost its last mighty groan, which, to one ,_..,. ...- a���������...~. whose ears are in time, is not readily j While crossing a briuge on the re- forgotten. However, as we swing serve I called out there's a big knife, past the nine mile point, there it was, the cause of that ��������� "Peculiar noise." which had aroused so much curiousity. And the vision we had of it was quite effectual in unlocking the door of our understanding. Then the though^ came of what it all meant and how it applied to life, when I found the picture growing as I saw the hosts of' men who spurd not their lives for self, but for the good of others, as they proclaim with all their combined powers, while lasts their breath and1 time istheus. it may be from some position of great eminence or from- the- most" lowly of all places in life; the warning so much needed and yet so much unheeded; to fellowmen of immediate and pending dangers, just as that for- horn.does every minute during the passing of vessels in foggy weather. That Squamish Feeling. By and bye the ringing of the di% ner bell reminded us of the flight of; ment, expressing voiceless appreciation of the good things provided by Host Mills, in comes Harry, the stager, to ask: "Did you get "your stuff," and we sang the chorus, "No-o-o." "Well; its gone," says he. So we guessed it was the "Indian who knew," and we sent Harry hunting for it. After supper the youthful defective department of the house sent a detachment out, who located our effects in charge of the Indian who had left his pile near by ours, and sent a lad for it, who took all in sight, thinking it good enough. However, our detectives ordered it back by 5:30 a! m., or there'd be trouble. A Twenty-five Mile Wagon Trip. A clear fine: ~morning, frosty air and a good start to make the trip by noon and we were off over a muddy road on which the horses Jerry .and Ben refuse to trot if they can possibly avoid it, while the Hriver boy lays pn^-the elbow juice with' a brand nevy whip. Not so with Crusoe, .the dog, for. he is busy all the way covering at least a hundred jhiles in his efforts, during which "time he put up several grouse, which dropped thenr heads to the tune of the 30-30 of Mr. Elliott of. our paijty",' who is, by the way, very much, at home in the woods with a gun. The boy driver used a D. B. shot gun, but faiUd to bring down the game and: out jumps Mack, saying where! He soon returned, .' tying shoot, .'as he threw! a fine specimen of the natives handiwork, a wooden knife about: fifteen inches long into the wagon. About half way the trip we got tired riding and "hiked it," while the road would permit.

McKay Station, Burnaby us,' we were prepared to avoid that feeling which -comes too often .from that class of cooks, while some of those who partook, had more of "that feeling" than comes by sight as we entered the bay of the Squamish river and valley. Britannia's Store* While the boat was landing a train load of sugar, steel and iron (the train was right there), we visited one of this coast's most spacious stores, the supply depot of Brittannia mines. The train is very obliging in that it promptly delivered the mail and baggage first and returned for the freight at leisure. Soon we are at the Squamish, and it is "All aboard for Newport," but they called a stop to put our grub on and away we went, when the conductor spied a fellow he had put off once, hanging on behind. Stopped again and put him off. As the train started the drunk threw a two-fist sized rock, which the conductor caught and returned, nicely missing the anatomy as it passed between his legs, at which he grinned. Newport received its portion and next stop is Brackendale. Just a waggon road crossing-, but we pile our effects by the road side, and await the coming of our teamster, who took charge of the lot to pick it up on his return a bit later. Some Thief. While we were at our busiest mo- all. . Then we hit the trail for th������j mountains.'' Inside the half hour we were climbing hard, and our steam rising rapidly. Up and up, ledge after ledge, we went in rapid succession until we; realized we were going too fast, getting exhausted in bur desire to get into the game. But alas! How the best laid plans of mice and mien will often gang aglee, as Burns puts it, work as we would, we were outwitted by the nimble game. .Not a specimen to be seen and Very few signs , that are fresh. In the snow belt going was easier, but noisy, for the crust bore us, but cringed at every step, giving the game to the deer. Below, thesnow they were not in evidence,' and. knowing the ground well we worked hard all day or all went home empty handed except for a fine blue grouse cock which fell to 'my gun away up at the. top ridge. Mack was home first, and busy getting supper when Mr. E. came, and we went to it. .- A Beautiful Sight. Those who live always in a large city like Vancouver and are so busy making a smoke and some money that they have no time to look for anything else, are not often' found looking upward at such a beautiful sight as we are privileged to behold here. The air is as clear and stillfand the delighted. Never has the writer been able to see more stars, but would plead inability to intelligently describe in an- astronomical way what ' the eye could behold, and would, >��������� therefore, leave the.rest to the readers imagination. - Now it is Tuesday, and Mack and I are early off up the river and the Ash slough with our eye open for goat, while Mr. E. struck off. the other way to look for the deer again. On our way two Indians overtook us who said four of them had kille'd six goats yesterday. They also said, "No deer, no deer!" On wtf went, wading the smaller streams, walking logs over bigger ones, till we start to climb up the mountain. Missing the trail, we had'a * hard, climb, being^ forced to zig-zag, and once turnback to find another possiblew ay. In the snow belt at first the crust bore mostly, but about 3,000 feet upi it was soft and two to three feet deep, letting us down to the bottom of it. One clear open space near the top had two inches of hoar frost., on the top of the snow. The view from this spot was' magnificent, as we looked across and down the valley for miles. The air was very clear and the day fine and bright, and we had a rare look at Garibaldi, Goat and The Twins, the other sides of which are a sight from Vancouver' on a clear day. Oh, hold on! See those acres of fine ploughed fields! And there were many' acres of ridged fields of snow lined up to our vision away over yonder, by the wind and storm; But we must not linger here, so on up we go over the soft snow, as we follow the trail of the goat, all of which are leading Mpward and we arc now some five thousand feet up, so we swung off to find the trapper's trail \^ to get down easy. Plunge and stride it is through the deer snow every step till we reach the first line again and we go easy for a while Soon wc are at the Trapper Anderson's cabin, and as no one is about we proceed to makel ourselves at home by sitting on the wood pile outside as we eat our lunch, and slake, our thirst from the sparkling stream that trickles down near by. What is the cabin like, do you ask? Well, let me try to tell you. It is about 8x10; is built of fir and cedar logs, nicely fitted and chincked with cedar shakes and moss, with shanty /"nof. The bunk or bed occupies, one end, a center post supports the r>oJ and the stove occupies the corner across from the door end. of th-j <*������bin, making a very neat butfit. The cabin is in the center of the most/densely wooded part of the mountain, that being where the trapper's business is done, and a window about 12x30 on the down side gives the occupant a fine view of life among Ue trees. But we must not linger here, for the ;un has hid already behind a neighboring mountain and we are far from home, so on we go down .the slippery snowy trail. As we leave the snow line we.hunt for deer again, but hunt in vain. Even signs are scarce as we pick our steps down the trail. My, oh my, t but we've made good time coming down, and are glad to strikev the slough again for a straight away walk. Tired and hungry we make bur way to "home for the night." The shadows are quickly gathering, and the weather signs prornised"acharige.7~~~ ~ ~~ Sore Spots. True to its signs, there is a weather change, and it rains as conscientiousness possesses next morning, and Mr. E. is on the firingjine again. Breakfast over, off they go again ere day has come, and I stay in to fix things up a bit, and' I can tell you I was glad of the chance, for ] was as sore as 1 want to, be, just reminded me of the after effects of the "first of the season's effects" in the Gym. classes I used to get into back in Ontario. In about a half hour, back comes Mack, too sore of foot and limb to stand the climb.

Next morning, long before daylight, we were again climbing bur favorite hunting ground for deer, to be there first, if possible, on the spot, but they had been ahead of us again, leaving signs fresh' and also the fact that the cougar were after them, much to our disappointment and annoyance. Say, do. you believe it? The cougar bounty should be $40 or $50 instead of $15; then hunters niight risk it to get them, for they kill many more deer than men do, and are at it all the time. About midday Mack and I.drift together again and, as we round a rock projection, he is a few yards ahead, and fires twice while I come in range, and there stands, about, V>0 yards away a fine young buck, looking at us.

Only $96,000,000, but bank failures - stopped, business revived, the workingman had money again. , Last year, America's drink bill was something more than $2,000,000,000. More than two billion dollars spent fort something of no value, something that returns far below the average amount to labor! Billions for Labor and Business. Suppose we were to banish the saloon, close up the breweries and distilleries and begin to spend that two billions for legitimate products. ' It would mean two billion dollars more business for the merchants, hundreds of millions more for the manufacturers, hundreds of millions more paid to labor and hundreds of thousands of the men now seeking work employed at good wages. Shoe factories would run overtime, clothing factories would have to turn away orders. The makers of steel products, of vehicles, of furniture, would be overwhelmed with orders and hunting desperately for more workingmen. The grocery man would need more clerks, the butcher would telephone frantically for more meat to satisfy the men who formerly spent their money for beer., - ^; ���������. Some Things Would Languish. But not everything would prosper. The prison Would languish, for it is a known fact that beer and whisky supply a large majority of the prisoners. The hospitals would be full of'empty rooms, but then they could turn their attention to fighting tuberculosis and helping the workingman to bring his baby past the danger stage. The asylums would seldom open their gates to a new comer, but when they had done their last earthly duty toward the victims of drink they now shelter, better uses could be found for them. And the tax bill would dwindle steadily. But who will complain about that! Labor has the solution of its wrongs in its own hands. Let labor strike down the saloon and she will strike down unemployment, strike down the small wage, strike down high taxes, liberate thousands of workingmen from prisons and hospitals, crush forever the political alliance between corrupt government and corrupt business, elevate the laboring man and his labor to a hitherto unknown dignity. Stop This Bobbery. The breweries and distillers and saloonkeepers of this country have been taking two billion dollars' worth of hats and shoes and automobiles and other useful products out of the general store and have been returning nothing but whisky and dirt and disease and crime and insanity and just about enough .revenue to repay one-tenth of the court costs and upkeep of asylums and hospitals maintained for their victims. And you pay the bills. You pay it at the grocery store, because these men are not making groceries. You pay it at the dry goods store, because they are not making.clothing. Everything is higher in price, because you are permitting them to add the cost of their support to the cost of your support. .

LARGER YIELDS PER COW. During these short winter days, when many cows are dry, and the cows that are milking are not giving very 'much, would it not be wise to lay plans fpr improvement of the dairy herd? Seeing that.the average household consumes a fair quantity of milk daily all through winter, and seeing that the ice, cream trade is not by any means dead during the cold months, is it not a pity that there is not more good milk and sweet cream available? Current prices and good demand should prove an inducement to a larger number of producers to go in more strongly for winter dairying. ^ Some of the variations in yields are very marked; it is a common thing, month after month, to find groups of cows in four adjacent sections averaging one hundred pounds of milk difference, for instance, from 450 by even stages of 100 up to 750 pounds. Many of these poor, cows could easily be giving, under better conditions of feed and care, another three or'four pounds of fat each per month..

I wondered whether by any possibility ^tWa eccentric painter, Murphy, could be personally involved. Was Cameron acquainted with him? Had they ever quarrelled?

These were passed to a strip of neglected sward and a squat, unpalnted weather-beaten cottage of a single story, with vine-screened verandah. , And in what seemed to us the very center of the house front, there shone' the only interruptions to what was ������ tiny glowing point of red fire.

It was one of thin wire, with very 'small bead, driven into the tree at a distance of about four and a half feet from tbe ground.

From thlB it was evident that the shots bad been fired at comparatively "short range;-as indeed' they" must have been, seeing that tbe treeB here grew so thickly as to make impossible any very extended line of sight upon the target. -Somewhat to Evelyn's perplexity I began making a careful inspection ot tbe ground, not only about .the tree, but as far away from it as the range rhythm of horse's hoofs on the drive , of vision extended. awoke me to time and place.

And - she pointed over my shoulder. "Why didn't you bring a groom with you, to hold your steed?" I asked, smiling. "You don't expect to ride Prince Charley into the forest fastnesses, do you?" "I could," she answered, promptly. "I will, If you dare me. He can pick hls^way like a cat. But it isn't nee- pessary. Hell stand forever, the dear thing, if I drop the bridle rein over his head."

But before I had quite finished, the big man in the shadow of the verandah was. storming: "Hell stop Just where he If/ If he dares to come another step \ nearer (his house. 111 throw the palrfof you Friday, January 28.. 1914 over the hedge, neck and crop. ������$ you hear me?" "And if you dare to interfere with an officer or his deputy in the discharge of his duty, the authorities will settle with you," was my calm rejoinder. "Trot ahead, Jerry! His bark's worse than his bite." Jerry, quick to obey, disappeared on the instant around the corner of the bungalow, and Murphy, after a pretended' dash forward, halted on the lower parch step. "See here!" he demanded, cum- brously. "What's all this, anyhow? You come here after gasolene, ostensibly, and then declare you're game wardens after a law-defying, Chinese poacher." At last I saw him half-way amenable to <reason. Now that he was out j of tbe shadow, I saw too, more clear- j ly, what manner of man he was.. His head, as I had already discerned it through the gloom, was abnormally large, yet not out of proportion with his 'herculean torso. His red hair, frowsy, unkempt, was of such abundance that, in the dark, its outline bad given me a. grotesquely magnified im- ��������� presslon. His red beard, too, was thick, long, and untrimmed. What lit- : tie of his face showed, was sunburned to what, in the dim light, seemed the color of ripe russet apples. His eyes were nearly indiscernible, deep set, under bushy red brows. i 'If you had shown the least bit of humanity to brother men .fit distress," , I - responded, in a half Jocular vein,: "I'd probably .never thought of this being your place, and you being you; and the incident of the morning might have been forgotten." | I thought I heard his teeth grit together in his effort to suppress a rising rage. I certainly saw his hands clench; and then, with an assumption of indifference, he took a final puff at his cigar and tOBsed it, sparkling, among the weeds of bis lawn. | It was evident to me, now, that in spite of the nonchalance he affected, | my reference to the Chinaman's poaching, and his presence at Cragholt, had aroused his Interest, and so hoping to draw him out, I continued: "Your man told the lodge-keeper that you sent him over to borrow a rifle." "You don't mean to tell me you'd believe a Chinaman, do you?" be returned. "It wasn't for me to believe or disbelieve. The lodge-keeper believed him." "And so, he borrowed a rifle, and then with one of Cameron's own 'instruments of destruction' proceeded to destroy Cameron's game? Is that it? What did he shoot? A deer or one of those starved-looking white dogs that Cameron has following him about?" Apparently Murphy knew much more of my friend than my friend knew of Murphy. ' "Neither, I fancy. In fact, I'm not sure Just what he did shoot in the way of game. But he seems to have Indulged In a bit of target practice. He found a piece of an old portrait, tacked It to a tree, and shot holes In It. Rather Billy, eht Foolish for him to chance getting into trouble for child's play of that sort." "How do you know tbatr* he growled, with an inadvertent dropping of his mask. There was no mistaking, now, that I had made captive his attention. "I saw tbe target," I answered, simply. "That's like saying, 1 caught a twelve-pound Pass. Here's the hook and line to prove it'" "I have a scale of tbe bass." "A what?" "Something your Chinaman dropped 'beside the tree." Phlegmatic though he was, aome- thlng very like a start followed upon my words. Then, as if to cover the movement, be shrugged his shoulders, and chuckled ponderously. "His visiting card, I suppose." "Nearly as good," I supplied. "The bowl of bis opium pipe." At that moment Jerry came around the corner of tbe house and stopped abruptly, stupefied by surprise; for from the open mouth . of the giant there issued-a roar of bass laughter, that reverberated In weird discordance through tbe night silences. "You bally idiot!" be cried, his guffaw ended.' "I suppose no persons except Chinamen smoke opium, eh! And that being so, no Chinaman but my Chinaman could have made a target of a piece of an old portrait and dropped bis pipe bowl at the foot of a tree! Go on with you, you make; me sick!" And then, seeing Jerry, wbo bad quickly joined me: "Didn't1 And him, eh? Well, that's not strange. Having lost the bowl of his pipe, he's probably gone to borrow another, from a laundryman friend in Cos Cob; and that, by the way, Is about; tbe nearest place for you to buy gasolene," The next day I spent at my office, in New York, busy with the hundred details that-go to the making of a periodical which alms to focus popular sentiment to a righteous ' viewpoint concerning matters of national and social import. For the time being my consideration of Cameron and his strange problem was suspended. Now and then the subject recurred to me, dragged into the mental light on tbe train of Evelyn Grayson; but almost immediately it was buried beneath a question of editorial policy or a debate regarding a contract for white paper at an extortionate increase in price. When, however, my business day was ended, and I had boarded the train for Greenwich, the whole Involved enigma spread itself again before me, demanding attention. And In the midst of it. dominating it, stretching his great shadow over It to the farthest limit, appeared that frowsy red giant, Murphy, a mystery within a mystery; for, though he seemed to pervade it, there vaa no point at which I could discover him quite touching it. In vain I tried to detect a real connection. I started with the letters. They bore no single characteristic mark of this uncouth creature. As an artist he might have devised the curious silhouette signature, but there was something about that���������some cunning, inventive subtlety���������which I could not reconcile with the ( ogre I had played upon, stung to anger and aroused to curiosity. That he could either have conceived or executed the ruin of the portrait I did not believe possible. The conception, like the letters and the signature, bore evidence of a craftiness too fine for such as he; and to fancy him, mammoth that he was, stealing unobserved into Cameron's stury, was to fancy the incredible. And so, though the impression of intimate relationship persisted, I could find no point of contact, closer or more definite than through his servant's rifle practice, - which after, all might have been quite without motive. There was little, therefore, in the line of reason, to convict Murphy of any knowledge of the matters which bad so disturbed us. And yet, as I have said, 1 felt intuitively that he possessed an intimate acquaintance with the whole affair. At the Greenwich station, I found my touring car waiting; my mother, in the tonneau. My chauffeur touched his cap as I approached. "You may drive, Francois," I .said,i and I took the place at my mother's side. , ^- "You look tired, Philip," she announced when I had kissed her. "Was it very warm In the city?" Her eyes were ever quick to note infinitesimal changes in my appearance of well- being "Not uncomfortable," I answered, indulgently. "I had a very busy day, though. But I'm not the Isbs fit because of it." "We have had some little excitement here," she hastened, eager to give me the news. "Old Romney called you up on the telephone about noon. I happened to answer it, myself, and when "I told him you were in New York, and would not be back until six, it just seemed he couldn't wait to unburden himself. "Won't you please tell him, Mrs. Clyde,' he said, 'that Mr. Murphy's Chinaman was found at daybreak this morning, lying dead, just outside Murphy's back doorf"* "Found dead!" I cried, In amazement "That is what be said. Then he added that tbe poor fellow's bead had been crushed with some heavy instrument and that Mr- Murphy bad been arrested on suspicion and was in the Cos Cob .lockup." For a full minute, I think, I sat in silent amaze. Then theories and conjectures in infinite variety gave chase, one titer tbe other, through my excited brain. But it was more than-ever difficult, I found, to .reach anything like a satisfactory conclusion concerning tbe position, tbe now lifeless Celestial and bis accuse'd master held> In tbe'chain of mysteries I wished so'much to solve. That they were both of them more-or less important links, however, I had small doubt "Did you know Mr. Murphy?" my mother asked. And all at once I realised that her question was a repetition.' In my absorption I bad not heeded the original Inquiry. "Nobody knowB blm," J answered, unconsciously echoing the words voiced by the man In the catboat on the previous night "Nobody knows blm. But I've met,blm in a rather casual way." CHAPTER VI. Nell Gwynne's Mirror, With the approach of the twenty- first of tbe month, which is to say tbe seventh day following Cameron's receipt of the second letter, I observed in him a growing nervous restlessness, which with praiseworthy effort be was evidently striving to overcome. Of my visit to the red giant and the tragedy which followed it, he was, of course, informed; as he had been of tbe Incident in the wood, including the finding of the bullet- pierced piece of canvas. Everything, save only that Bvelyn* was the discoverer of the portrait remnant��������� which I thought best under the circumstances to. keep secret���������was told ito him in detail, and with all the clr- icumstantiality necessary to an intelligent discussion of even the minutest feint ' My description of Murphy elicited from him a recollection. He remem- jbered having seen the man once. It iwas on the Fourth of July. Bvelyn land Mrs., Lancaster, Cameron's housekeeper, had accompanied Cameron to what is called. "The Port'of Missing Men," a resort for motorists. On the' summit of Titlcus mountain. They bad lunched there and were returning by a route which took them over a succession of execrable roads, but through some of the most glorious scenery In the whole state of Connecticut For a while they had beeiv following a stream, willow-girt, that went babbling down over a rocky bed which at intervals broke the waters into a series of falls and cascades. At the foot of one, of these they had stopped the car and alighted for a better view,' and so had come upon the unexpected. Seated upon . a great bowlder, bis easel planted between the stones of the, stream's shallows, was a redheaded, red-bearded Colossus, In a soiled suit of khaki and a monstrous straw hat such as ie worn by harvest ing farmers. Cameron told me that all three of them made bold to peep over the painter's shoulder at hltf- work, and then, though it was of the moBt mediocre quality, to shower him with laudatory and congratulatory phrases. "I can fancy how he thanked yon." 1 broke in, smiling. "I suppose, he said something very rude." "He said nothing at all. He simply stopped painting, and turning, fixed his eyes upon me. It was as if he saw no other one of us. He seemed' to be making a careful appraisement of my every feature. After a moment it grew embarrassing, and though I did not resent it���������feeling rather that we, ourselves, had been In the wrong���������I very speedily withdrew. To my surprise he rose from ihiB stone seat; and, palette and Inrush in hand, followed us up the little acclivity to the road, watching lln silence, until: we got back into our: [car, and wheeled away." , "Did you gather from his inspection jthat he recognized you, or thought he frecognlzed you?" I asked. . "I gathered only that he meant to Ibe Insufferably rude," waa Cameron's answer. , "And you have never seen him p-eor- , "NeveivT "He has evidently seen you. He i {���������poke of the Russian wolf-hounds ithat go . about with, you." , i Cameron made no response. '__"Well," I added, In a tone meant to. (wutitiru Next Week.)

San Diego, Cal., Jan. ���������Former expositions have shown wild men and women from the Antipodes, but- it has remained for the San Diego Exposition to find a whole nation of wild men within the borders of the United States, a whole vast area where nothing has progressed since before the invasion of Mexico by Cortez in 1517. This area is in northeastern Arizona, and the Santa Fe railway will cover ten- acres of ground at the Exposition with *as close a copy of this country as is possible to produce. This locality is known as the Painted Desert. It's a land where no white man has dared attempt agriculture or mining, where there is nothing but the Indian, his ancient civilization unaltered, living in six story houses of 100 rooms without an outside door, doing the sane things in the same way his forefathers did for centuries before white men came to America. Comparatively few white men have penetrated this district. None has remained there. At long intervals a scientist has penetrated the' fast, nesses of the red and yellow hills. Indians emerge from it occasionally, but invariably return. Their homes are the identical buildings erected many centuries ago. Their pottery is the same, used for the same purpose and in tTie same rude manner. Their customs and tribal laws remain vn changed since when no man knows to the contrary. They irrigate small patches of grain just as did their forefathers. The country repels even the hardy prospector. Trees, except those petrified into stone, are not seen. No two hills are 'the same color. The very rocks are varigated in hue. The pitiless sun scorches all vegetation encouraged by the winter and spring rains. i Members of the Santa Fe exploring party declare the Painted Desert ri- vale the wonderful Grand Canyon of the Colorado in grandeur and beauty of scenery.

There is but one way, and that is through legislation. This is scarcely obtainable through strike processes and the chaotic conditions produced by strikes. Of course those who gloat in chaos will continue to advocate the strike, but they who wish to really improve the condition of the laborers and the masses will seek a betterment through legislation. MONOPOLY AND COMPETITION The laboring men aim at cutting out monopoly by putting it beyond the reach of company or private wealth to possess the tools of production. The money and the tools which money secures is to be absolutely wielded by the people through their legislative representatives. If. this be the goal, then the striking disjointers would do well to turn their energies towards securing good strong representatives of their cause in the parliaments of the various countries. To succeed they must withdraw the senseless and brute-making strike. So long as they use this method they will fail in getting a majority of the electors to vote, their way. The enlightened electorate will never trust their interests to men who are ready to destroy life and property. But they would gladly vote workers into the legislative halls if they are possessed with confidence in their integrity and humanity. This is in the hands of the united workers, and they would do well to turn their attention to winning this confidence. Socialists seem to imagine they must have the whole loaf or nothing. They demand that government take over practically all the great industries and handle them in the interests of the whole ' community. Why not attempt the attainable? Why not"start with the Coal Mines? Why not proceed to the Carrying trade afterwards? Take one step at a time. Proceed on ground gained and make strong and secure for the next matters coming to hand. Now for a word on the logical outgo of the aims of Socialists. Granted they do away with all monopolies and the savage competition of the present time by use of an Industrial and Paternal Government, then what is the quick result after things come to a normal status? The government becomes the one Monopoly and all others within the land cease, or pretty nearly so. And it is reasonable to conclude that when Canada attains to this condition, the United States and other countries will not be far' behind. And then what have we? Why," this. Each country will be a huge monopoly and in international trade there will be the fiercest sort of competition. And this competition of the nations must inevitably reach the units of the monopolies, to-wit, the human units. And to hold a successful struggle against the other monopolies there must be a lessening of reward, or a lengthening of the hours ��������� of work, or both. It would be interesting to have the shrewd and able leaders of the Socialists show just how the international monopolies can get along in international competition without���������.*.very fierce strug gle ensuing, and^produeing results simila.r to those, produced by the Company and. Private Monopolists of the present system. IWHWOa JN WJWCKON Whether we think of farming*- gardening, engineering, sailing, mining, pursuing chemistn, botany, entomology, mineralogy, or other engage* ment of mind, we at once see that there are two methods of approach and attainment of practical knowledge. These two methods art,-���������by studying what^ others have done, and by actual experience. The latter I would say a few words upon at present. It goes without contradiction that in any pursuit in life we must learn: from others as well as by our own testing and experience. This latter may be called the Empirical Method. In the realm of religion- we have ten thousand teachers, as many;books,, ten .times _that many sermons* _ and" countless exhortations as to our duty and the method of serving the God of this big world. And yet of late years the Empiric method has largely dropped out of sight. How few men preach to the human unit that in order to "Know the Doctrine, He Must Do the Will of God ?" It is by doing a thing we learn how. The man learns in the forest to chop, simply -. by chopping. The would-be musician must learn by playing. , The acrobat learns by doing deeds of daring and celerity. So in religion. A man must find out what religion ds by doing the works of religion? Here we must admit that Religion is a very big theme, and might be defined by as many descriptions as there are types of belief, and nearly as many as the individuals who are interested in this most important matter. He who "does the will of the Father," "shall know of1 the doctrine." He who makes test according to the command of the "Christos" will find that there is a life to be had by this process, and by no other. I would venture to ask you, men and women, who read my writings, this question: Have you in obedience to the Divine eommand accepted the invitation to "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be Saved?" Have you? In my1 question I am on solid empiric lines. The-fact is plain. You have life offered by the Saviour. And to enjoy spiritual life you must do His will. Have you so done? If so, have you found life? If you were a pupil of mine in a chemistry class, I would ask you to test the acids, salts, gases, and compounds by the various tests of the laboratory. If you would refuse to make these tests, you could not have the empiric knowledge. What could you know of ammonia, or nitric acid, or sodium ciorine without testing? How much eould you know by reading? If a man never felt the pain of a toothache how could he have an intelligent knowledge of such a sensation by reading? Could a man who never had the sensation and delight of love gain a clear conception of love by a prolonged course of reading? , And so in the realm of theology. Tens of thousands can pronounce the theological shibboleths, and talk learnedly before large audiences and yet they have never Tasted and Seen that the Lord is Good. I humbly suggest to you my readers that you make a strong and an honest test . of Jesus as the Saviour. If He saves you from sins you will know it, and only in an empiric way will you ever be able to discern the spiritual life He offers to all men. This practical, this-empirical religion is the only sort worth one small bean on this earth. And the man who has this life-spring knows the taste of the Living-water brought from heaven for thirsty mankind. I wonder how many of our modern critics, priests and pulpiteers are in the possession of this energising boon. As a practical man I ask the question of all who may read this comment. BRITISH COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT IN SESSION The B. C. Legislative Assembly of 1914 has met, opened and proceeded to work in its usual business-like manner. It is a strong government and-. legislative body because it is in the hands of strong men. * , r It is clear to all readers and close observers that the strong men of the executive council know the conditions of the country, see clearly the road to travel, and continue their journey in a fearless manner. This gives efficiency and.is in truth the safest strategic ground for present and future success. A good many object to an oligarchic rule. I do not. In fact there is practically no other. It does credit to the rank and file of the Legislative Assembly that those among them who support the Government have the good sense to give their support without noise and the too common political galley-play so often adopted. I hear men condemn the Vancouver members for their continued parliamentary quietude; but so long as they are in harmony with the executive council why should they make any sort of gubernatorial noise? - In too many parliamentary and civic leaders there are to be found representatives who think it good politics to talk and splutter; and yet the real work is done in committee where workers and not talkers shine. So long as the hegemonic leaders in the Assembly and Council so -act as to hold the judgment of the electorate and the legislative representatives there can be no good reason for an avalanche of parliamentary logomachy. We must heartily compliment the Government for the strong position it has gained and hold at Victoria and throughout the province. _ It is said that there is a great railway company going to approach the legislative for certain money, interest and debenture advantage. Already the people are using exclamation and inr terrogation marks as to the real purpose of the said Railway Company, and the course to be pursued by the Government, which exists and acts solely in the interests of the whole people. Hence we should have little to fear in this regard. Doubtless if such a proposition be made by the railway company the Government will see it wise to<go slowly and take the people into their confidence, r .; ."���������-"���������.��������� Prof. E.

The Sober Hunt Club (Continued from Page 4) - had a fine young buck in prime condition. After an hour's vain hunt for another we put rope on it's, head and another on it's heel and proceeded to look for a place to get down in safety. As we tugged and dragged, lifted and slid our game for over a mile to where we could start down in safety, Mack says, "Well, { such a place to shoot a deer, anyway." We came across two blue grouse on the way, one of which fell to Mack's gun. Having at last found our way to the valley we hung up our deer as it was already dark. The down trip had broken back and horns clear off. i] A Good Place. As we came down the mountain the other day of our hardest climb, McKinney says:.^."Welj^I'm^glad^jeJ have a good place to put up;" anS I agreed. Say, let me tell you some--' thing about Mack: He's a wiser.man than ever before, because he got, married .since our last year's hunt;] and "knows a good place." And he appreciates his new home very much. Friday morning found . all- hands J climbing ere the sun shone on us,1 and we proceeded to make our final] big effort for thet season. Separating to a plan as we hit the gamel ground, we were determined to miss nothing in sight. But, do our bestj nothing seemed to come in sight, for] when we-met again in the valley to] take our game of yesterday out, wej were all empty handed. ��������� By and by,T as we exchanged experiences, MackJ says, "the sight on my gun is what! fooled me on that deer yesterday, and] I didn't know it till I missed a grouse' today, and on examining it I found it] shifted by a blow of some kind. This is our last day's hunt for this* season, and our stage is here to take us out early in the morning, so we bunk������in assa prelude. > fc Five Live Marten. s On the stage trip we were hailed by a young man with two boxes, the tops of which were made 'of slats covered with iron, as was, indeed, the whole box. As the lot came aboard we saw five fine speciments of'live,, marten addressed to Blake Vanettar, Georgetown, Ont, who the trapper Anderson said,had agreed to take all he could send him alive. ��������� And this we' learned was the. owner of the cabin we had visited and is herewith, described.- In answer to my question, Mr. Anderson says, he catchesj them in traps by the paws and has his' own time getting a strap collar on, th������m. I believed him for as I looked at' them each in their separate apart? rhent, they would growli snap, and spit at me, and it would sure be a sore-finger that got in range. They live on rabbits, grouse, birds, carrion, rats, etc., in their native state. He had a supply of meat for their ������trip east. One had gotten" away after-he brought it to the valley, and another trapper caught it in his "killem trap." Its neck showed the -strap mark. Hunter's Assets. Well, its a poor business that has none, and when' a hunter completes the trip and takes stock, whether it is J alive, dead or watered, he will be invariably grateful for the fact that his greatest asset is that his youthfulness has been greatly renewed and he has a new lease of life, i. e., if he has used "the principles~an"d practices- of" the "Sober Hunt Club." Let me cite an incident: As we were making homeward the last day, with our deer I called at the home of the old trapper to enquire the easy and best path out. The old lady with whom I spoke told one of our party afterwards that, as she described me/ I was about 22 years old. Some people who ought to know, say I'll never see 44 again. *So let it be, but I have the young feeling. Then he'may also remember the many little friends he met as he climbed up and down the roughest ol nature's slippery places, and how glad he was to shake with those thrifty little twigs as they helped and never failed him' to make a sure passage. Does the eager hunter become thirsty that' he may freely and frequently quench his thirst by the choicest of aqua pura, which flows invitingly near every few minutes of the chase. To the long distance eye there is the remembrance of the grandest of nature's pictures as the open spans of the higher cliffs of the ridges are!! gained at intervals in the climb. If weary and wet he returns at night, he may remember that the'game is not all his. There are other hunt-, ers, .' ������������������. o ' The Hunter's. Regret. If there is one thing more than another that causes a true hunter re- .gret it may be to see game uselessly! slaughtered, just for sport, but when the worst enemy of the deer, the cougar gets busy, and that is as often as he is hungry, there is not much chance for a young or weakly specimen of our fine mountain deer. -So the writer would repeat the desirability, of "lovers of this sport" seeing to it that our government ' is speedily impressed with the need of a greater bounty for the capture of the cougar. --,st_
