C. WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 14,1912\nNO. 261\nFACE LIBERALS\nHome Rule Likely to Break\nUp Coalition\nNEW GOVERNMENT\nLEADER PROBABLE\nGrey and Lloyd-George Candidates for Premiership-\nJoseph Martin Busy\n(Canadian Associated Press.)\nLONDON, Feb. 13\u2014Today the King\nopened what is certain to bo the most\nexciting session of parliament .within\nrecent years. It is unlikely, however,\nthat the momentous questions will be\ndiscussed until after Easter. The debate on the address from the throne\nwill probably occupy a fortnight and\nwill be followed by financial matters.\nThere is not the slightest doubt but\nthat many ministers are uneasy on account of the mammoth character of\nthe program, embracing home rule,\nWelsh disestablishment and electoral\nreform to say nothing of woman's\nsuffrage. Concerning the latter militant women It is rumored have what\nls called a big surprise awaiting the\ngovernment unless women's suffrage\nis mentioned in thc King's speech. It Is\nunlikely that the speech will contain\nany such reference so another orgy\nof window smashing may be anticipated. The police ore making full-\npreparations.\nExpect Gsneral Election\nRegarding home rule, the Unionists\nare confident that the collection of\nIrish customs by the Dublin parlia-\ntfi!nt proposal will split the Liberal\nranks 'hopelessly and that Redmond's\nparliamentary authority will be seriously Jeopardized.\nNo one claims there Is any general\nenthusiasm for Welsh disestablishment\nbut the campaign against It Is being\npursued vigorously throughout England, It Is Improbable that electoral reform will be touched until the\nautumn.\nOutside parliament tbe feeling grows\nthat there will be a general election\nthis year. Rates of insurance against\nthis were Increased last week.\nBorden Receives Honor\nLONDON, Feb. 18\u2014Hon. R. L. Borden, prime minister of Canada, was\nappointed yesterday at his majesty's\ncommand, a member of the-*prlvy council.\nGeneral Irish Disapproval\nLONDON, Feb. IB\u2014The home rule\nhill as outlined by Rt. Hon. Winston\nChurchill ls being discussed all over\nIreland and general disappointment ls\nexpressed at Its financial proposals.\nVarious public bodies suggest tbat If\nIreland was not given full control of\nall taxes to be levied in tho country,\nthe national convention would reject\nit.\nPatrick White, M.P. tonight said that\nunless the home rule parliament bad\nfull and free legislative authority It\nwould be useless to Ireland.\nAt a meeting of the executive of the\nUnited Irish league held at Drogheda\nN. T. Murphy said that the only measure of self government acceptable will\nbe one that will give Irishmen full power to deal with everything concerning\nIreland and full control of every tax.\nAsquith May Take Peerage\nLONDON, Feb. 13\u2014Among the members of the house, many of whom have\nreached London ln readiness for the reopening of parliament tomorrow, the\nrumored retirement of Herbert H. Asquith from the premiership was today\nthe chief subject of conversation. Not\nmuch surprise would be caused If the\npremier In a short time relinquished his\noffice and accepted a peerage. It is\npointed out that while he has not held j\nthe position of premier very long compared with some of his predecessors,\nhis term of office has been marked by\nthe greatest political agitation.\nDuring the past few years Mr. As\nqdith has aged perceptibly. Besides\nthis the expense of keeping up the position of premier Is extremely high and\nMr. Asquith has a large family. Even\namong those members of parliament\nwho have taken part In the campaign\nagainst Sir Edward Grey it is agreed\nthat their opposition to him was in i\ngreat part due to their desire to pre\nvent him succeeding to the premiership\nas they are against his foreign policy.\nIt Is even suggested that the formation\nof the Persian commission which re\ncently received Morgan Shuster, the ex\ntreasurer general of Persia, was really\npart of this campaign. Certainly most\nof the members of that committee are\npronounced supporters of David Lloyd-\nGeorge, the chancellor of the exchequer.\nJoe Martin Against Grey\nJoseph Martin, tho member for the\nEast Pancras division of London, who\nwas formerly prominent ln Canadian pontics, and is now one of the leaders of\nthe extreme radical wing In the house,\nsaid ln the course of an Interview today that there was no doubt that the\nmajority of the members of the house\nwould view with keen disappointment\nthe elevation of Sir Edward Grey to\nthe premiership. Mr. Martin was of the\nopinion that the majority of the members of the Liberal party were in favor\nof Lloyd-George above any other member of the cabinet. Mr. Martin continued:\n\"It must be remembered that politics\nhere are entirely different from politics\nin the United States and Canada. There\nthe party would be consulted before the\nappointment of a premier and If he was\nunpopular a' big row would be raised.\nHere, the government does things without consulting Its supporters and even\nif an unpopular man were to be made\npremier the party would think long before upsetting the government.\"\nGrey is Conservative Radical\nSir Edward Grey during his term at\nthe foreign office has commanded the\nreBpect of both parties. Only recently\nhas thore been any agitation against\nhis foreign policy. One of his supporters pointed out that Sir Edward was\nreally a peculiar combination of Radical\nand Conservative In his speeches. Ho\nalways advocated radical measures but\nIn his actions he is moBt conservative.\nHe delivered a series of speeches dining the parliamentary recess, partlcu\nlarly ln reference to home rule, of which\nhe has been a constant supporter on\nthe ground that the Imperial parliament\nwould thereby be relieved of local mat\nters and enabled to give greater attention to imperial affairs.\nTry to Represent Tariff Bill\nin Unjust Light\nWHITE SCORES IN\nREPLY TO OLIVER\nLiberals Would Reduce or Add\nto Powers of Commission\nHIRED BOY TO\nSTEAL AND LIE\nYoung Flnlander Swears He Was Paid\nby Ketchum to Annex Other\nPeople's Cattle.\nSTETTLER, Alta., Feb. 13.\u2014The\npreliminary trial of L. B. Ketchum,\nthe cattle buyer who is charged, with\nFred Sumrrierton and John Wartnow,\nwith the theft of 25 bead of cattle\nfrom F. E. Aunger, the Ewing rancher,\ncame to a close this afternoon shortly\nafter 6 o'clock when he was sent up\nto stand h'.s trial at tbe next sitting\nof the district court at Red Deer in\nApril.\nThe most damaging evidence to\nKetchum was that of John Wartnow,\nthe Flnlander boy, and Walter Fleet\nof Nevis. Wartnow corroborated the\nstatement given previously to the police. He told a straight story and Mr.\nMcGillivray failed to shake bim In the\nleast. He reviewed the compact entered into by him and Ketchum to the\neffect that the latter offered him $3.60\nper head for all the cattle he would\nsteal and a bonus of $1,000 to Treep\nhis mouth shut and tell lies If arrested. He stuck doggedly to the story\nthat he had been hired to steal and\nlie. Bail was granted ln tbe sum of\n912,000, $2,000 for the accused and\n$2,500 each for four securities.\nSneed Establishes\nSelf Defence Plea\nFORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 13\u2014\nSought all over Texas for three weeks\nby detectives in the employ of the defence which is trying to save J. B.\nSneed from the gallows, C. D. Powers\nwaB placed on the stand today as tho\ndefence's star witness and this he has\nproved to be. Powers^ who is, a Panhandle land dealer, was an eye witness\nto the shooting. He established a good\nself defence plea for Sneed, for which\nthe defence has been waiting ever slnee\nthe trial began but had utterly failed in doing. Powers declared tbat ho\nwas within a few feet of Boyce and\nSneed and the ranch owner saw the\nbanker enter the hotel. )\nBoyce started for him threateningly\nand exclaimed \"there's; that scoundrel\nnow.\" Sneed then drew his revolver\nand opened fire. ,. i\nPowers' evidence Is the moBt Important for the defence that has been in\ntroduced. H. D. Hangar, prosecuting attorney, drew his chair directly up to\nthat of the witness and battled with\nhim for two hours ln an effort to shake\nhis story.\nPowers was compelled to admit that\nhe was once Indicted for fraudulent\nland deals. With wild gesticulations\nHangar unloosed a battery of cross-\nexamination on the witness that for\nwarmth and sarcasm haa never been\nequalled during the trial. He forced\nPowers to admit that he had been in\nthe rear of the hotel just a moment\nprior to the shooting. He i also Bald he\nwaa sitting near Boyce but the witness\nrefused to be shaken regarding the attitude of Boyce and his remarks.\nSneed will be on the stand for the\nfirst time tomorrow. He has not told\nin or out of court his side and preparation! are being made to handle a big\ncrowd tomorrow.\nOTTAWA, Feb. 13\u2014The fight over\ntho debate of the bill to create a permanent tariff commission continued ln\nthe house throughout today's session.\nOn Monday the bone of contention was\nthe clause authorizing the government\nto name the commissioners for a term\nof five years which was passed Just\nbefore the house rose. Today clause\nNo. 4 which defines the duties of the\ncommissioners was considered and th-3\nopposition at the beginning objected to\nthe provision which places the operations of the commission under the direction of the minister of finance. They\nargued that the commission in order to\nbe satisfactory should either have\nwider powers than proposed by the bi'.l\nor else it should be reduced to the stilus of a statistical bureau, for the collection of necessary Information. The\ndebate continued until 11 o'clock when\nHugh Guthrie proposed three amendments:\nStriking out the worda \"under the\ndirection of the minister of finance.\n2. Striking out entirely the clausa\ngiving the commisslaon the power to\nconduct inquiries into mergers.\nThe first two amendments were voted\ndown without a discussion by standing\nvotes of 76 to 40, but the debate was\nsomewhat prolonged before tho third\nwas disposed of.\nHits Frank Oliver\nHon. W. T. White replying to Mr.\nGuthrie with considerable warmth reiterated his former statement that the\nopposition was reading Into the bill\nthings which it did not contain,\nsaid they had made statements which\ndid not do justice to their intelligence.\nHowever, he did not believe them to be\nsincere. They wore playing a political\ngame and trying to represent the bill to\nthe people of the country in an unfair\nand unjust light. Dealing with\nstatement made by Mr. Oliver that he\nwas the representative of trusts and\nmergers, Mrs. White said:\n\"Yes; I am the representative of their\nInterests. I am the representative 'n\nthe house of the people of Canada ami\nlet me say to my hon. friend that if he\nhad always kept and will keep as free\nfrom sinister influences as I will all will\nbe well with him.\"\nMr. Oliver rose to say that he bad\nnever made any Insinuations against\nthe minister of finance.\nSir Wilfrid Displays Repartee\nThe clause was then passed and S'.r\nWilfrid Laurier suggested an adjournment. Premier Borden complained that\nbut little progress had been made. Tha\nhouse wVuittl have to sit later, he sold,\nand the session would be prolonged.\nThe repetition of arguments used by the\nopposition, he said, was wearisome.\nSir Wilfrid agreed that it was. Ha\nhad listened to It for 15 years.\nThe adjournment was consented to\nand tho house rose at 1 o'clock.\nDiscuss Tariff Bill\nWhen the house met little time was\nwasted In getting down to the work\nof passing Mr. White's tariff commission bill. The Liberals Immediately\ntook exception to clause four Which\nprovided that the commission should\nmake inquiries under the \"direction of\nthe government and the department of\nfinance.\"\nHugh Guthrie argued at some length\nthat If the commission was to make\ntiny claim of being an Independent one\nlt should report Its findings to parliament and not to the finance minister.\nThere should be no secrecy about its\nInvestigations. According to the arrangement proposed by the government\nany statistics or conclusions which\nmight be advanced by the commission\nwhich would be contrary or Injurious\nto the professed tariff policy of the\ngovernment could be discarded by the\nfinance minister and the country would\nnever be any the wiser with regard to\nthe real facts. There should be no\nsuch limitation placed upon the Investigation powers of the commlsson If It\nmust render to the country that service.\nPremier Borden rose to explain that\nin the bill the character of the Information to be gathered Is Bet forth ln\ndetail.\nOpportunity to People\nThen there la the further provision\nthat the commissioners may enquire\ninto any other matters under the direction of the minister. This means\nthat the scope of the commission Is\nvery comprehensive,, For Instance, if an\nagitation arises In regard to the duties on agricultural implements iind\nthe commission at the time be engag-\nCONV1CTED FOR THEFT\nHERE; AGAIN IN TOILS\nVANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 13.\n\u2014William] Grant was committed for trial by Magistrate\nWalker on a charge of theft\nfrom a resident in East Burnaby. He admitted to the Burnaby police a previous conviction\nof three years for bouse breaking and theft at Nelson two\nyears ago, but had been released on parole for good conduct.\nBLAME RAILWAY\nT\ned in conducting some other Inquiry\nthe minister would havo the power to\nInstruct them to drop everything el3R\nand Inquire into this particular complaint. It will be the right of the people to make representations to the\nminister at any time,\" said the premier.\nHon. Frank Oliver insisted that the\nbill was designed to humbug the people. Its purpose was to lay the foundation for a revision of the turiff upwards. The government should either\ngive the country a broad and comprehensive commission such as the people wanted or gather purely departmental Information by the means of\ndepartmental officials. The commissioners, he supposed would be at the\nbeck and call of the minister of finance, just as though they were his\nhirelings. The government should play\nfair with the people. By this bill\nthey were not doing so.\nOliver on Reciprocity Again\nThis commission, if he was not mistaken In the attitude of the government, would be In complete sympathy\nwith protection and would entirely be\nunder the control of tho minister of\nfinance, who \"represented the Interests\nIn parliament and who belonged to\nthat section of the Liberal party who\nwere Liberal only so long as the Lib\neral party meant profits, but who\nabandoned that party just as soon as\nit stood up for the principles of Lib\nerallsm.\"\nMr. Oliver proceeded to deal with\nthe loss sustained by the west because\nof the rejection of reciprocity when\nho was ruled out of order by Deputy\nSpeaker Blondln for discussing matters\nwhich had no relation to the clause of\nthe bill being debated. He was fol\nlowed by Dr. Edwards who ln turn was\ncalled to order for a similar offence,\nand it was finally decided that a wider\nscope should be allowed in tbe discussion of the clause and at the conclu\nslon of Dr. Edwards' speech Mr. Oliver\nwas allowed to continue.\nAction for Damages Against\nC, P.

The evidence showed\ntiiat the fire started in a Btump along\nthe railway right of way, and after\nburning slowly for a few days was\nfanned by a stiff wind Into a big forest fire. That one line of defence\nwould be that the fire was started by\nranchers using the right of way as a\nroad was indicated by Mr.\ncross-examination of a witness. Although the evidence was of a somewhat dry nature the gallery was well\nfilled by tbe public during the afternoon. | .l*Hfj\nThe special jury hearing the case\nconsists of E. P. Gigot, foreman, T. D.\nStark, Alex Leith, W. J. Meagher, W.\nM. Cunliffe, J. H. Wallace, A. D.\nEmory and J. A. Irving.\nDr, King Testifies.\nThe first witness called was Dr. J.\nH. King of Cranbrook, president of the\nKing Lumber Mills, limited, who explained the locution of the company'E\nmills at Yank and near Cranbrook,\nand tho limits damaged by the fire.\nWhen travelling on the Crows' NeBt\nline he had at night-time observed\nsparks flying from tiie C. P. R. locomotives.\nTo a question from Mr. Davis as\nto whether tho C. P. R. In the last\nthree years had not purchased a very\nlarge amount of lumber from the\nplaintiff, about $300,000 in the last\nthree years, Dr, King said tbat he had\nno information on tiie subject. Ranchers between Yahk and Curzon made a\npractice of travelling over the railway\ntrack, he said.\nPrize Fight Fixed Date.\nClaude Bargy, an experienced bush-\nman from Wisconsin, said that he\nworked for the plaintiff company for\nseven months as bush foreman. Afterwards he bad fought fire for the\nC. P. R. at Wattsburg in August, 1910.\nIn July, 1910, he worked for James\nKenney, a logging contractor working\non the C. P. R. farm, about a mile\nwest of Yahk.\n\"What caused you to remember\nJuly 4, 1910?\" Mr. Tuylor asked the\nwitness,\n\"The Johnson and Jeffries fight,\"\nsaid Mr. Bargy without any hesitation.\nWith Alfred Underbill on tbe afternoon of the Reno prize fight, witness\nreturned from Cranbrook and arrived\nat Yahk at 2 o'clock. Walking west\nalong the track after the Spokane\nflyer had passed that afternoon witness saw a fire about 25 feet from the\ntrack, about one-third of a mile front\nYahk. The fire was in a stump and\nhe noticed that something had set\nafire some grass below. He did not\nstop, but went right to the logging\ncamp.\nDescribes Progress of Blaze.\nAbout 7 o'clock, in company with\nUnderbill, he returned along the track\nto Yahk. At that time the fire was\nspreading slowly. At 9 o'clock the\nfire was still burning. He saw no one\nattempt to put it out. On the following day the fire had spread to an area\nof about 75 feet. The fire could be\nseen from where witness was working\nat the C. P. R. farm. After supper\non July 6 or 7, he was.not certain of\nthe date, the section crew worked\nahout three hours In an effort to atop\nthe blaze. He did not think they did\nmuch good, but the wind was against\nthem. On July 8, he believed, Mr.\nCook, the C. P. R. fire warden, and\nBonne men were at work fighting the\nblaze and succeeded In stopping the\n(fire from going east. On July 9 the\nwind rose about noon, became quite\nBtrong, and the fire jumped the Moyie\nriver. On July 10 he joined, at the\n\"request of Mr. Cook, a gang of men\nwho had been brought from Cranbrook to fight the blaze. He was paid\nfor the work hy the C. P. R. On the\nsame day the wind changed and drove\nthe blaze toward Curzon and farther\ninto the King limits.

R. farm.\nWitness told Mr. Davis that the\nbtump where the blaze started t\nhiollow (at the top and might have\nbeen hollow right through. When he\nfirst saw the blaze the whole top of\nthe stump was burning. He and Underbill had talked of it in the camp,\nbut witness had never reported it to\nany one.\nMr. Davis' cross-examination brought\nout the fact that witness had been\npaid ?8 per day and his expenses to\ncome back to British Columbia from\nhis home in Michigan, where lie went\nafter the fire.\nAlfred C. Underbill, who farms in\nMichigan, also remembered July 4 on\naccount of the Reno battle,\nUnder cross-examination witness\nsaid that a week ago the stump where\nthe fire had started had been cleared\naway.\nTo another question from Mr. Davis\nUnderbill said: \"They were all\nalarmed at Yahk about the fire.\"\nMr. Davis\u2014Were you told to say\nthat?\nWitness\u2014No, I was not.\nWitness declared that he was at\npresent being paid $8 a day wages\nand expenses by the plaintiff company.\nPLAN TO SPEAK\nGRAINGROWERS MEET.\nREGINA, Sask., Feb. 13.\u2014An army\nof gralngrowers lias invaded tbe city\nand for the next few days public interests will center around the deliberations of tbe delegates to tbe annual convention.

GET RESULTS.\nNonconformists and\nUnionists Combine\n(Canadian Associated Press.)\nLONDON, Feb. 13.\u2014A conference of\nthe Unionists and Nonconformists waa\nheld yesterday, when the principal\nspeakers were Sir Edward Carson and\nRev. R, J. Campbell. Resolutions were\ncarried protesting against home rule\nand the ne temere decree.\nMr. Campbell characterized the ne\ntemere decree as an insolent attempt\non the part of a foreign power to overrule the law of the and. It was an\namazing act of aggression and insolence with nn incomprehensible motive. He said that the Vatican had\nissued a second decree known as motu\nproprio, which meant that a Roman\nCatholic solicitor general dare not\nput the law in motion where any\npriest wns involved without Incurring\nexcommunication at the hands of the\npope. That was a far-reaching blow\nto civil freedom, especially in Ireland,\nwhere a majority of the population\nwas so devoted to the clergy. Was lt\nany wonder when those things were\nbeing done on the eve of the expected\ntriumph of home rule that Protestants\nwere getting thoroughly alarmed as\nto the future.\nNo Irish Roman Catholic member of\nparliament has given any assurance\nas to these decrees and it was said\nthat the pope could dispense with the\napplication of these decrees in England and for Ireland. Therein lay tlie\ndanger. He might dispense with it,\nbut when Ireland got home rule he\ncould reapply it. It would depend on\nthe pope's caprice. The people of Ireland wore not going to allow their\ncivil and religious liberty to depend\non the caprice of any.man. (Cheeis.)\nSir Edward Carson declared that an\nadministration by an executive accountable only to an Irish parliament\ncould do what, it pleased even if they\nwere to fill the bill with volumes of\nguarantees so called. \"We don't want\ntheir guarantees; we know they don't\nmean them. We had some example\nwhen county councils were set up in\nIreland. They then spoke of fair play,\nbut councils were hardly set up when\nthey said we will turn the councils,\nwhen necessary, into political organizations.\"\nBlASCbRSETS\nWhy Not Look\nYour Best ?\nDISCUSS PROJECT\nFOR NEW CHURCH\nBanquet and Meeting Rouses Enthusiasm of Congregation of St. Pauls\nChurch\nThe meeting: of tlie men of St. Pauls\nPresbyterian church which followed the\nbanquet ln Eagle ball last night was a\nhighly successful affair, everyone showing* a keen interest In the problem of\nbuilding tho church. Rev. E. S. Logle\nas chairman spoke eloquently on th*i\npressing need of a larger building, mentioning* the number of Presbyterians in\nNelson and the absolute lack of accommodation In the present building\nand the Impossibility of carrying on\nthe work of the church successfully under present conditions. Rev. Mr. Logie\nalso spoke of the inadequacy of tho\npresent Sunday school accommodation\nand laid special stress on the great importance of this branch of church work.\nHe declared his faith in the loyalty and\nliberality of the men of the church and\nsaid he was sure that the psychological\ntime had arrived for a move in tho direction of better things for thc Presbyterian church in Nelson.\nJohn Hamilton was the next speaker\nand mentioned the fact that he had\nhelped to build the first Presbyterian\nchurch in Nelson. He spoke of the futility of spending moro money on tho\npresent church and expressed his belief\nin the feasibility of the movement In\ntlie direction of building a new church.\nUpon the suggestion of II. E, Dill,\npencil sketches of a suitable church to\nho built of brick and stone were shown\nto the meeting and some time was\nspent in expressions of opinion upon\nthe sketches. At a rough estimate it\nwould require $25,000 to build a church\nsuch as shown in the sketches, this sum\nnot to include seats nnd organ.\nThe Ladles' aid of the church offered\nto raise $3,500 for tlie purchase of an\norgan.\nTbe question of raising funds was\ngone into and several members of the\nchurch spoke optimistically of the possibility of raising the required sum and\na plan of campaign was gone Into.\nA vote of thanks was proposed to the\nladles for the splendid manner In which\nthe banquet has been served and Mrs.\nT. G. Gibson responded.\nCLOSER IMPERIAL\nRELATIONS COMING\nReciprocity Withjn the Empire Will Be\nAccomplished Fact in Ten Years,\nSays Bennett.\nCALGARY, Alta., Feb. 13.\u2014\"I am an\nardent supporter of Imperial lecipro-\ncity and I believe that it will be an\naccomplished fact within the \"ext ten\nyears.\" Thus R, B.

Dawney's paper was short but practical and gave some valuable pointers to\nthoso planning to set out gooseberry and\ncurrant bushes. He was sure the small\nfruits could be grown to advantage In his\nvalley and mentioned the fact that tlie\nearliest green gooseberries sold In Nelson\nlast year came from Perry Siding and\nrealized 8 cents a pound to the grower.\nIt was, however, unfortunate that the\nnurseries would not sena out young plants\ngrown on a proper principle, and he advised Intending planters to grow their\nbwn bushes from cuttings, the correct\npreparations of which he demonstrated o\nthe meeting. Gooseuerries, as usually\ngrown in the neighborhood, were like\nthickets, with branches from below the\nsurface of the earth as well as above, witl.\ntlie result that the frutt was small and\nhard to gather. A gooseberry cutting,\nproperly prepared .should have all the\nbuds stripped off the lower end to about\nthree or four inches above planting depth.\nRed currant cuttings should have similar\ntreatment, while the black currant should\nhave all the buds left on as its fruit i*\nShilohs Gum\n\u201e.-. a Ail nil* HEALS THE LUNGS\nSTOPS COUGHS PRICE. 25 CENTS\nborne entirely on new wood and the brush\ncan be sufficiently controlled by cutting\noff tlie old wood.

Within the past few years the\nphilosophic works of Plato, the plays\nof Euripides, Aeschylus and Sophocles\ndaintily' bound editions of Shakespeare and Chaucer and the writings of\nsuch moderns as Coleridge, Lamb,\nSwift, Pope, Balzac and hundreds of\nother giants of literature have been\nplaced within the reach of the thinnest\npurse. That there is very large and\nrapidly growing demand for such editions is shown by the thousands of\nvolumes which are placed upon the\nmarket every year and by the ever\nwidening field of literature covered.\nOne of tbe most delightful of these\nmoderate priced editions is \"Phantasmagoria\" by Lewis Carroll (The Mac-\nmlllan Company of Canada.) Although\nnot as well known nor as widely read\nas \"Alice in Wonderland\" and \"Alice\nthrough the Looking Glass,\" this little\nbook has much to commend it to the\nlover of Carroll's humor; it is perhaps\nquainter, more weirdly ridiculous than\nthe Alice books but it lacks none of\ntheir literary charm. The new edition\nis clevery illustrated by Arthur ]-B.\nFrost\nAn Excellent Adventure Story\nHow Francisco Barreto, soldier and\nconquistadore endeavored to lay the\nfoundation for a great Portuguese empire in South Africa and why the expedition In the 16th century up the\nZambesi river failed through the dishonesty of the viceroys of the King of\nPortugal and the schemes for church\nadvancement carried to disastrous\nnear-success by Jesuit priests, is told\nIn \"John Temple\" by Ralph Durand.\n(The Macmillan Company of Canada.)\nThe character of Temple Is frankly\nfictitious but Mr. Durand states in his\nintroduction that the novel follows historical lines very closely. As a story\nof adventure the hook ranks high. The\ninterest of the reader is gripped by\nchapter after chapter of excitement,\nthe scenes around which the story is\nwoven are unhackneyed and Dona\nBeatrlz provides a love interest of\nmore than passing strength.\n\"The Love That Lives\"\nFragrant with a love of nature and\na healthy optimism is \"The Love that\nLives\" by Mabel Osgoode Wright (The\nMacmillan Company of Canada.) It Is\na cheery book, with love and1 romance\nentwined and will interest the many\nwho have delighted in Mrs. Wright's\nformer novels on Blmilar UneB.\nA Most Satisfying Dana\n\"This Dana Is most satisfying; there\nhas not been a good edition for nearly\n30 years,\" Bays the Glasgow News of\nMacmillan company's recent Issue of\n\"Two Years Before the Mast.\" \"The\nfeature which, will serve it in best\nstead,\" The News continues, \"Is\nseries of illustrations In color by\nCharles Pears, an artist whose very\ncharming books on his own boating experiences have made him known to\nall who go down to the sea In little\nships. The reproduction is very fine\nIndeed and should enhance Mr. Pear's\nreputation as a book Illustrator. . .\nDr. Grenfell writes an effective preface\nin which he recommendB the story as\na boy's book rather than, many of the\nmindred best books so freely canvassed nowadays. We cannot prevent\nthe passing of the sailing ship but we\ncan keep freBb. the memory of the\nclassics which describe the sea life\nthat will soon be no more. For 'this\npurpose the new Dana If only for Mr.\nPear's sake should be a popular book.\"\nA Book of Fairy Tales\n\"Fairies Afield\" by the children's unfailing friend, Mrs. Molesworth, Is a\ncollection of fairy tales ln whioh the\nhuman side Is very prominent. Sometimes the connection \"between the real\nworld and the land of enchantment Ib\nbrought about by the ever fascinating\nand mysterious medium of dreams.\nOne of the most interesting of tbe\nstories, both for characters and plot,\nis the one In which a wonderful dream\nwoman and a wise robin play leading\nparts In bringing happiness and prosperity to two sisters who made a Hv-\nSUREST TUNS\nIN Hit WORLD\nIS \"FRUIT-A-TIVES\" THE\n6REAT FRUIT KEHCIHE\nUke fruit juice, \"Fruit-a-tives\" acts\non the great blood purifying organs of\nthe body- namely the liver, bowels,\nkidneys aud skin, and stimulates all\nthese parts to increased activity.
