No. 46\nTHE WEEK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1907\nOne Dollar Per Annum\nThe action of the Lieu-\nA Serious tenant-Governor in connec-\nBlunder. tion with the Asiatic Im\nmigration question and the\ndisallowance of Mr. Bowser's Natal Act\nis being widely canvassed by the Press,\nand although not all papers have gone\nas far as the Province and the World in\ndemanding his resignation, there is a\ngeneral consensus of opinion that his conduct calls for an explanation. The facts\nare very simple, and the incident devoid\nof complication, and before condemning -\nhim it would be more satisfactory if he\ncould be induced to state the reasons which\nled to what can only be regarded as a\nmost regrettable circumstance. With respect to the contract which Mr. Dunsmuir\nso unwisely signed for the wholesale importation of Japanese labour to be.employed at the Wellington Collieries, it is\ndifficult to see how he can escape condem-1\n-^ nation for conniving at a breach of the\nlaw, since it is Certain that n6 considerable number of Orientals could be imported in compliance with its provisions.\nThat a man occupying the highest official\nposition should show this disregard of his\nlegal obligations.is a matter which.all will\nregret and which in every sense is inimical\nto the public interest. It is not unfair\nto carry the argument further and to question the propriety of a public servant running counter to public opinion even if\nhis action involved no breach of the law.\nPor this policy there can be no defence,\nindeed the only excuse that has been or\ncan be urged is the insufficiency of white\nlabour, but it remains to be seen whether\nMr. Dunsmuir exhausted every reasonable\nmeans of procuring white labour before he\ntook a step which he knew would antagonize public opinion and intensify the impression only too prevalent on Vancouver\nIsland that he is apt to be unmindful of\n11 the wishes of his own employees. It is,\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 however, when Mr. Dunsmuir's conduct\nin signing this labour contract is consid-\nI ered in the light of his act as Lieutenant-\n1 Governor in disallowing Mr. Bowser's\nNatal Act, that the incident assumes its\ntrue proportions. If Mr. Dunsmuir had\nI not been an employer of labour and had\nhad no financial interest in importing\nJapanese, it would be incumbent on him\n1 to explain why he disallowed Mr. Bowser's\n.Bill, but unfortunately while he is not\nreleased from the obligation to explain his\nconduct, few people now consider it neces-\n1 savy. The Japanese contract furnishes\nonly too obvious a reason, and unless a\n|very much stronger one is forthcoming it\nI will be accepted as thc true one. In this\nconnection it is difficult to exonerate the\nLieutenant-Governor from censure in\nallowing the Premier to lie under the imputation of having advised him in the\nmatter. Mr. McBride has withstood the\nmost hostile criticism and the denunciation\n{of his political opponents on the mistaken\n[supposition that the Lieutenant-Governor\nj acted on his advice or at any rate without\nIhis disapproval. Mr. McBride with clue\nregard to the responsibility of his own\n.position, and the dignity of the Lieutenant-\nGovernorship has remained silent, but it is\nI not so easy to understand why the\n1 Lieutenant-Governor should have been\nwilling to allow the Premier to be made\nla scapegoat when a word from him would\nJ have informed the public of the true forwardness of the situation. It is impossible to conceive that this aspect of the\ncase has been presented to him, or that\nlie lias grasped it himself. The outcome\nis still uncertain, undoubtedly in the very\nEDITORIAL\nfirst week of the coming session, Mr.\nBowser's Bill will be re-enacted. If the\nLieutenant-Governor endorses it, as to act\nconstitutionally he must, he will stultify\nhis official conduct of last session. If he\ndisallows it, which is hardly conceivable,\nsome representation will have to be made\nto the Federal Government which will\nensure the giving effect to the wishes of\nthe people of this Province constitutionally\nembodied in Legislative enactment.\nMost lovers of literature\nA Prophet have heard of W.

The gist of the book\nis to show how utterly the various religious\ndenominations have failed to enlist the\nsympathy of the masses, and how most\nchurches have developed into a species of\nreligious club, where the well-to-do take\ntheir ease in Zion and the middle classes\nenvy them from afar. The book is a\nserious contribution to the consideration\nof social problems, it is brilliantly written\nancl its earnestness carries conviction. Of\ncourse its tendency is altruistic as any\nsocial work must be. The verdict of a\ncompetent critic is as follows: \"As a\nnarrative it is fascinating, as a picture of\nthe times it is accurate, tis an influence\nfor good it is powerful.\"\ntolerated iu any frontier town. The garbage question is even more disgraceful,\nnot only because more inimical to the\npublic health but because the non-enforcement of the City By-laws is responsible\nfor the continuance of the nuisance. While\nresidents in the neighbourhood of James\nBay Flats ancl the Dallas Road have had\nto put np with almost intolerable inconvenience the Council has had in its hands\na weapon which at any moment could have\nterminated it. The appeals of those who\nsuffered were disregarded until public\nopinion and the Press took the matter up\nin earnest, and practically forced the Provincial , Government to intervene in a\nmatter which they should never have been\nrequired to consider. Then the Council,\nor at any rate the Mayor, began a course\nof trickery and bluff unworthy of any\nself-respecting man ancl despicable in\npublic servants. It was made to appear\nHint the scow was taking the worst of the\n|?I.

Later he joined the Congregational\nin order to become pastor of the\nhistoric Quadrant Church at Islington.\nThis brought him more into the limelight,\nand he became a popular lecturer ancl\nwriter of fiction of the Socialist-religious\ntype. Four years ago he resigned his\npastorate to travel in the States. During\nthat time he has devoted himself almost\nentirely to lecturing and the study of\nsocial conditions, and the result is seen\nin a remarkable book which he has just\npublished. It is entitled \"A Prophet in\nBabylon\" and deals with the life story of\nthe popular pastor of a wealthy congrega-\nAs the date for the Muni-\nMunicipal Mis- cipal elections draws near,\nManagement, the evidences of Municipal\nmis-management accumulate. Thc two features most obtrusive ancl\nmost objectionable are the condition of our\nstreets nnd the garbage heaps. With the\nformer as with the latter the City Fathers\nseem unable to cope, in spite of repeated\npromises to commence re-laying Government street, it is the same disgusting condition in which it has been for many\nmonths past. It is more than a month\nsince Alderman Henderson's negotiations\nwere said to have been carried to a successful issue, but there is no evidence\nforthcoming that his scheme will end in\nanything but smoke. Meanwhile the principal street of the Capital of this Province is in a condition which would not be\ngarbage out lo sea, when as a matter of\nfuel it was mil iu commission. Then the\npublic were luld ihal garbage was only\nbeing dumped tu lie burned when it was\nin reality being buried with an insufficient\ncovering. Finally, the City .Medical\nOfficer, to the great Burprise of all who\nknow him, declared thai the garbage was\nnm a menace to health but only a nuisance,\nand the Mayor, without occasioning any\nsurprise to those who know him, charged\nthc Provincial Health Officer witli being\nactuated by political motives. Ami here\nthe matter rests, but not for long.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1907-\nNotes on\nThe Old Land.\nBy RAMBLER.\nGlasgow, Sept. iv 1907.\nAs it is three weeks since I last\ninflicted a letter 011 you, I suppose\nyou will think.I am either lost, strayed or stolen. Last letter was from\nBath. Before leaving there, I made\nseveral trips round the unfortunate\nMonmouth's stamping grounds. Had\nlunch in a very ancient tavern at St.\nPhillip Norton where he slept the\nday before the ill-fated battle of Sedg-\nmoor. Was sorry 1 had only one him\nleft in my camera and I wanted it\nfor the ruins of an old castle, formerly the stronghold of the long extinct\nHungerford family at a place some\nthree miles distant called Furleigh, to\nwhich I walked through a very beautiful country, consequently have no\nphotos of this very interesting Inn.\nInside the \"uins of the castle which\ncomprise a large area, is a small\nchurch which was erected about 600\nyears ago, the parish one, but the\nHungerfords who were apparently a\nstrange mixture of piety and deviltry,\nappropriated it for a domestic Chapel,\nand built a new parish church close\nby. The former, though not in use,\nis in a good state of repair and it is\na veritable museum, the walks being\ncovered with armour, weapons and\nrelics of the family, while the vaults\nto which there is access, contain many\nstone coffins quite intact, in which\nare the remains of those Hungerfords\nwho died anywhere near. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 They were\na bad lot from all accounts. The\nwife of one killed her husband and\nburnt his body in the kitchen fireplace,\nfor which latter piece of wifely kindness she was hanged at Tyburn.\nTheir grandson to get even with the\nson, with the aid of the castle priest,\ntried his best to poison his wife, but\nshe was too smart for him. However, as she was able to prove the\nintent, hc too came to an untimely\nend on the scaffold. The last of them\ndied in poverty in London at the\ntime of Charles IT. Their vast estates are now in the' * hands of\nstrangers, and their castle in ruins, a\nwarning to the wicked, so say thc\nrighteous people of the neighbourhood.\nBy the way, Fnrleigh is not far\nfrom Spy Park, so perhaps yotir\ncousin, Captain , may be in\npossession of some of 'lie Hunger-\nford relics.\nWe were rather loth to leave Bath.\nWe perfectly revelled in taking the\nwaters, guaranteed to cure all and\nevery ill, and only i_ a glass, cheap\nat that, for it is quite yellow with a\nnasty taste, so it must be efiicacious.\nArrived back in London some two\nweeks ago. Spent a very enjoyable\nten days chere. Took in several\ntheatres. Saw Wyndham in thc\n\"Liars.\" Best piece of acting I think\nI ever saw. The play is nothing,\nsimply depicting a phase of society\nlife. Only seven people on the stage,\nbut all good, could not have been\nbetter.\n1 lived pretty nearly in the\nMuseums and Art Galleries. The\nfirst night we were in London, wc\nwent round to the Brompton Oratory.\nAfter leaving Bath we spent a couple\nof days at Glastonbury and Wells in\norder to sec the ruins of the old Abbey at the former, and thc Cathedral\nat the latter place, consequently had\nto return by way of Bristol. From\nthat city to London it took just two\nhours, never made a stop and travelled\non an average of over sixty miles an\nhour. They do have a fine railway\nsystem in England, with a road-bed\nthat cannot be beaten, and double\ntracks, they can go any speed they\nlike apparently. Could not commence to read the names of the stations as we passed through.\nWell, to return to London and the\nOratory, my wife wanted to return\nthanks for mercies vouchsafed to her\non that particular run. As it happened they were celebrating the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin,\nwhatever that may mean, so the\nChurch was crowded, and T was very\nmuch interested in the ceremony.

Now what struck me forcibly\nwas this: You will remember how in\nthe ancient Mesopotamian mythologies, the original high gods were\nrelegated to obscurity and eventually\nwere to the masses of the people only\na name, while the subordinate and\nsubsidiary usurped the place of their\n\"betters,\" so to speak. For instance,\nEa was the original great and omnipotent god amongst the Chaldean nations, but after many centuries had\npassed away he was scarcely known\nand Asshur in the latter had taken\nhis place. Now it appears to me the\nsame laws of evolution are at work\nin the Christian mythology, to a\ngreater degre in the Roman Catholic\nthan in the Protestant phase of. it,\nbut still in both. The Roman Catholics have about ceased , to trouble\nabout Jehovah and Mary is gradually ousting her Son from his high\nposition. While the Protestant has\nbrought the Christ to the point of\nthe comparative eclipse of the Father.\nOn this particular occasion the image\nof Christ was obtu a foot long and\nno ope appeared to take any particular interest in it, while all the prostrating, honour and glory were to the\nMother Mary in life size. Moreover,\nin the sermon, the Holy Ghost was\nnever mentioned, Jehovah only glossed over, and though the Son was\nawarded the high attributes, to the\nVirgin was given the worship as being the power behind the throne. ' In\na lesser degree the Protestant is gradually making the Son usurp the functions of the Father.\nWhile on religion, you will have\nnoticed the deceased wife's sister\nMarriage Act has at last passed. The\nBishops, especially the Archbishop of\nCanterbury, and the Bishop of London, have placed themselves in the\nwrong over it. I enclose an article\nfrom the Conservative Telegraph upon the subject which is indicative of\nlots of trouble ahead for the Church.\nThe fault lies with thc higher clergy\nentirely, or rather a portion of them,\nfor they are by no means a compact\nbody, and are accordingly in no shape\nto fight the solid Non-Conformist\nphalanx. I had some very interesting conversations with the Suffragan\nBishop of Derby on matters of the\nkind. He stayed in the same hotel\nwith us. A very liberal and sensible\nwho could see the dangers to the\nChurch through the intolerance of the\nEcclesiastical authorities to dissenters.\nSo much for religion, will now go\nback to lighter subjects.\nI would like to send you a photo\nof myself. I am sure you would not\nrecognize me. Am falling gradually\ninto English ways. I now wear a\nhard real necktie, and stand-up collars. What do you think of that?\nBy the way, that \"Times\" book\nstore is a wonderful institution. I\nused to think good books cheap at\nMttdies, but it is not a patch to the\n\"Times.\" They almost give them\naway, new as well as second hand.\nHave bought quite a few, principally\ntravels. Am sending them home with\nthe wife's dry goods, so you will see\nthem. Do dearly love going round\nthe old book stalls.\nBefore leaving London, spent a day\nat Richmond with some very nice\npeople we met in Guernsey. They took\nus about eight miles up the river in\ntheir punt boat. It is wonderful how\nthey manage to propel these boats\nwith their long poles, women as well\nas men being experts at it. We had\ntea on board and returned in the\nmoonlight, hundreds of boats on the\nwater, all with their lights constituting a very pretty scene.\nHow strangely one meets people in\nLondon. One would think a thousand people knowing each other might\nbe in that huge city and not cross\neach other's paths. One afternoon\nwe were down at that terrible part\nof London near the bank. I was\nmooning round looking for Thread-\nneedle Street. Close to and with his\nback to me was a man with a top\nhat and lonk coat. I went over and\nasked him its whereabouts. He\nturned round, looked at me and said,\n\"Why, we stayed together at Guernsey.\" So we had, and then. out. of\nthousands in the streets I had accidentally picked him out. to ask a question.\nThen, while driving to the hotel,\nthe bus stopped a moment at Piccadilly Circus. I happened to look over\nat the sidewalk, and who should I\nsee walking .\"with his stately stride\"\nbut the great O. M. Malcolm. Thought\nhe was in B. C. Just had time to\ndraw his attention and find out where\nhe could be found.\nBy the heading of this letter you\nwill see we are ifi Glasgow, and it\nis the Sabbath, and the Lord deliver\nme from spending many more here.\nEverything closed up tight. My wife\nhas gone to Church. It is called St.\nAndrews. She resented the name, |\nsays they have no saint of that name.\nI told her that shews she does not,\nas she thinks she does, know everything, that she must remember she is\nin Scotland, and that the Scotch are\nnotorious for having appropriated everything in sight as they do to this\nday, even to other people's saints, and\nthat the R. C. Scotch are the worst\nof the nation for appropriating. Of\ncourse they do it nowadays in a legal\nmanner, but with no difference as regards ethics. Anyway they have evidently got hold of St. Andrews body\nand soul, for there he is as large as\nlife in the front of the Church, and,\nScotch-like, his representative was\nthere at the door in the most barefaced manner taking in the \"bawbees\" before admittance was allowed.\nBut the worst instance of the mercenary spirit now pervading the\nChurch, I think, was exhibited in the\nCarmelites Chapel at Kensington.\nThere they had three classes of seats,\nid, 2d and 3d, so that the rich would\nnot be contaminated by coming into\ncontact with the poor. I wonder how\nthey will manage in Heaven. Of\ncourse, there will not be exactly thc\nsame difficulty because it will not be\na case of \"Sartor re-sartus.\"\nLast night after dinner we took\nin the city.

I asked the\ngirl at the restaurant where we get\nmost of our meals if they would be\nopen on Sunday. Before replying she\nhad to get her breath; I too it away\nwith such a question.

COWAN, Esq., Vancouver, B.C.\nTRUSTEES\nYORKSHIRE GUARANTEE & SECURITIES CORPORATION, VANCOUVER, B. 0.\nX\nPROSPECTUS\nThe Chartered Bank of Britisli Columbia is being\nformed to meet in part the increased banking accommodation required by the natural and steady expansion of business, coincident with the great development of the country and especially of British Columbia, and, while organizing to conduct a general\nbanking business, will give special consideration to\nthe industries and commerce of the Province, and is\nbeing established primarily for this purpose, and\nthrough its connections in Great Britain, the United\nStates and Eastern Canada, it will be able to greatly\nfacilitate the investment of outside capital in the\nvarious enterprises of the Province.\nBritish Columbia, with its great wealth of raw\nmaterial in timber and minerals largely developed,\nwith its opportunities for cattle ranching, mixed\nfarming and fruit growing, with its fisheries and\nits increasing maritime trade with the Orient, Australia, Mexico and South America, and, above all,\nin the approaching development of its vast Central Northern Interior and Vancouver Island by\nrailway constructions will be immensely benefited by\nthe establishment of a Chartered Bank having its\nChief Office in the Province and controlled by a\nBoard of Directors entirely familiar with the resources and the needs of the country, whose names\nalone are a guarantee for the success of the undertaking.\nUnder the banking laws of Canada a Chartered\nBank has also this additional earning power\u00E2\u0080\u0094that\nfor every dollar of paid-up capital it can issue its\nbills to that amount, thus doubling the earning\npower of its Stockholders' money.\nPor instance, the Authorized Capital of the\nChartered Bank of British Columbia is $2,000,000.\nIf this were fully paid-up the Bank could issue\n$2,000,000 in bills, thus earning for its stockholders'\ndividends on $4,000,000, giving the Bank a double\nearning power on its capital.\nThe profits on Bank Stock are distributed to the\nStockholders in two ways:\n1. Dividends paid direct to the stockholders.\n2. Profits over and above dividends placed\nto Rest Account, which increases the\nvalue of their stock.\nIt is therefore scarcely necessary to point out\nthat the shares of chartered banks in Canada are\nrecognized as being among the safest and most\nprofitable of investments.\nBank stock offers to the investor:\n1. A safe investment.\n2. An investment easily convertible.\n3. A profitable investment.\n4. An investment increasing in value.\nThe opportunity for investment in the stock of\na new bank in Canada is rare.\nIt is impossible to get stock in a Chartered Bank\nat other than market prices.\nThe stock of a chartered bank that has been going\nfor some time sells so readily that it must be purchased at the large premiums at which the shares\nsell in the open market.\nBanks have the power of easily increasing the\namount of their capital stock, but whenever they\ndo so the new stock must first be offered pro rata\nto existing shareholders.\nIn every case where this has been done the existing shareholders have taken up the whole of the issue,\nand the general public has been unable to obtain any\npart of it.\nThe following table shows what some Canadian\nBanks have done in the past for their shareholders:\nBank.\nPar Value.\nMontreal $100\nCommerce $100\nNova Scotia $100\nBritish $100\nMerchants $100\nDominion $100\nToronto $100\nBoyal $100\nHamilton $100\nTraders $100\nImperial $100\nStandard $100\nMolsons $100\nEast.

Additional directors will also be selected from among the Shareholders at the said meeting by the Shareholders\nthemselves, so that they will have a direct opportunity of seeing that the affairs of the Bank are\nentrusted to careful and competent management.\nArrangements have been made whereby the office\nof General Manager will be filled by a well-known\nand experienced banker.\nTerms of Subscription\nThe terms of subscription are $10 premium on\neach share upon the signing of subscription; $10\nupon each share of stock within thirty days after\ndate of subscription, and $10 on each share of stock\nupon allotment by the Provisional Directors, and\neight equal monthly payments of $10 each per share,\nthe first of such payments to be made thirty days\nafter allotment, and the succeeding payments at intervals of thirty days.

It was a\ngood show, admirably staged and well\nplayed. The weakest feature was in\nthe women folk, but Max himself was\ninimitable in a character which he\nhas made his own. He has a fine\nstage presence, and an easy rollicking manner and \"\"-reminds one of\nCharles Collette, the celebrated patter\nartist. A crowded house was delighted with the representation which may\nbe written down as a great success.\n\"The Rollicking Girl.\"\nOn Wednesday night last Manager\nRicketts staged the Rollicking Girl at\nthe Victoria Theatre. It proved to\nbe a popular musical comedy and attracted a good house. The comedian\nSnitz Edwards was very entertaining\nin the part of the Viencse Wig-\nmaker, Schamtz, and Miss Lila Blow\nboth acted and sang well as Ilona.\nThe dresses and mounting were much\nabove the average, and the chorus\ndanced well, For a popular price show\nit was a good one.\nmature years fulfill the promise of\ntheir childhood. *\nKubelik may be said to have lived\nwith a violin since his borth. Since\nhis eighth year he has certainly lived\nfor it. His rise was rapid, but from\nhis eighth to his twelfth year, probably no boy ever worked harder or\nin a more ambitious manner. From\ntwelve, until he was eighteen at\nPrague, Kubelik remained under the\nfamous master, Sevcik, during which\ntime he perfected that marvelous\ntechnique which has been the despair\nof his competitors, and the astonishment of his auditors.\nAt eighteen the dark, slender boy,\nwith the massive forehead, shaggy\nblack hair and long, prehensile fingers,\nperformed wonders on the violin,\nwhich had been a lost chord since\nthe passink of Paganini. His first\nvisit to America in 1900 provoked the\ngreatest enthusiasm ever awakened\nby an instrumentalist in the metropolis. Music lovers and press united\nin proclaiming that the reports cabled\nfrom Europe has not been exaggerated in the statement of his powers.\nIt is indeed a fortunate thing that\nKubelik ancl his rare genius is to be\nheard in this city during this season,\nand those who are interested in the\nlocal management should receive the\npatronage of the entire community\nfor this visit. Kubelik has been engaged by the Victoria Musical Society\nfor its concert on January 7th.\nKubelik's Career.\nNo other virtuoso in modern music\nhas risen to such an excited plane in\nso short a time as has Jan Kubelik.\nA little more than a decade ago, his\nname had never been heard outside\nthc Bohemian village of Michle, in\nwhich he was born. There lie passed\nhis boyhood in the humble home of\nhis father, a gypsy gardener. In this\nobscurity without any advantages not\nenjoyed by his lowly companions, the\ndivine talent which since has enthralled the world, quietly flowered.\nBefore he reached this twentieth\nyear, the continent of Europe was\nvoicing his wonders. He had not attained his majority when America had\nadded its paens to the constantly\nswelling praise.

HENRY,\n3010 Westminster Rd, Vancouver, B.C. 10\n\u00C2\u00A3THE WEEK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1907.\nMusings Without\nMalice.\nBy LALLY BERNARD.\nHave you ever tried to write exactly what you think? It sounds easy,\nbut is extremely difficult. You may\nimagine that you can pen six paragraphs without a sort of sub-conscious attempt to write what someone\nwants you to say, but it is only one\nmon or one woman in a thousand who\ncan divest themselves of that obnoxious \"inner vision\" of the reader\nwho may scan what they read and\nfind fault with it. A woman journalist is nothing but a woman, who as\na little girl has most likely been\ntrained in that school, which means\n\"hush dear, little girls should not say\nthose sort of things.\" You know\nwhat I mean, you who are scanning\nthese lines! that is if you are a woman, and not an American woman!\nfor the real secret of the \"Charming\nAmerican\" is the absolute and entire\ncandour with which she expresses\nopinions which she has never been\ntrained during childhood to confine\nto the ideas which children \"ought\nto express.\" I am not defending the\nAmerican child, usually they \"upset\nthe apple cart\" of dignified society.\nI just point out the fact, that it is\nextremely hard for the ordinary Canadian, or Englishwoman, to really\nsay just what she thinks on matters\nin general. I don't know that you\nwould like hre if she did\u00E2\u0080\u0094she is not\nan easy sort of person to pair off for\na dinner party and she is distinctly\nupsetting at a five o'clock tea. The\ngirl who has been brought up in a\n\"hush dear\" school, is really an easier\nsort of being to adjust in society.\nOh, for a page of \"unsaid\" \"unwritten thoughts,\" something that have\nbeen bottled up for half a lifetime,\nsomething that would be fatal to further conversation and, so to speak,\nturn the world up side down. I must\nconfess to a sort of malicious admiration for the dreadful small boy, who,\nfor the joy of saying what he thinks,\nreally and truly thinks, gets his head\npunched by another boy, or receives\nthe chastisement due to his audacity\non another part of his anatomy, from\nan enraged adult. He is extremely\nlikely to grow into a wide-awake and\ncourageous citizen, for he knows full\nwell that it is stimulating, rather than\ndepressing, to receive the due reward\nof his freedom of speech.\t\nSo much then for an excuse for\nmusing at random on everything in\ngeneral and nothing in particular, using the medium of print and paper,\njust because one has been trained in\na school, which means the sealing up\nof thoughts when face to face with\nthose who do not agree with them.\nI make no excuse, for this species\nof cowardness is so common that one\nknows full well that there are thousands of men and women in exactly\nthe same sort of terror when they\nmeet their human kind in the ordinary run of every-day intercourse.\nI have always been interested in\nSpiritism\u00E2\u0080\u0094perhaps mainly through\nthe fact that some of my ancestors\nwho had nothing else to bequeath me.\nleft me with the intolerable legacy\nof a sort of \"second sight\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094and the\nonly reason that I have not devoted\nmore time to the study of pyschical\nresearch is that it produces physical\nconditions which are horribly uncomfortable, and secondly that the human\nbeings who surround one, arc quite\nas difficult to reach and understand,\nas disembodied spirits\u00E2\u0080\u0094more so per*\nhaps\u00E2\u0080\u0094who does not know that wail\nof some one who has lost their nearest and dearest.\" Oh, if I had only\nunderstood.\" Now why don't we understand? What is the great mystery\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is why democracy is hard\nat work trying to down barriers between sections of human beings, and\nin nine cases out of ten, the people\nwho are most actively engaged in\ntrying to down these barriers between\nsections in society, arc neglecting the\nbarriers which exist between themselves and those nearest to them.\nThe art of living is complex:\nShakespeare asserted that love was\n\"blind.\" Well, perhaps love is, but\nblind people are extraordinarily sen\nsitive, and .they use the \"fifth sense\"\nwhere we don't really try to use the\nfirst! .*,.....\nThe reason that I don't like the\nidea of suffrage for women, is that we\nshould lose more than we should\ngain. I am not quite sure that privileges are not more precious than\n\"rights.\" I say I am not sure, not\nquite certain to be strictly honest\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand we have privileges which we are\nin danger of losing as we enter the\nmaelstrom of public affairs. I claim\nfor women the privilege of idleness,\ncomplete and entire\u00E2\u0080\u0094and I know that\nmany busy women will combat this\nidea\u00E2\u0080\u0094but the reason is: we are not\nconstituted as men are, and what is\nmore, I am not sorry that we are\nnot. Our intuition is stronger than\nour logic, and our intuition has saved\nmany a dire situation. This power\noi ;divination goes from us, in the\ntumult of public life, and our endeavour to understand fully, what the\n.egistration of our \"vote and influence\" would mean. One does not understand, from the point of view of\ncold reason, why our, brains should\nnot be just as powerful as the brains\nof men, perhaps they are, certainly\nthe average woman, is the equal of\nthe average man, but it must be that\n\"brute force\" or \"physical force\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094is\nallowed to dominate this world. I\nonly know that the perfect human\nbeing is the man who has a sort of\nfeminine strain of sympathy and understanding, and that in moments of\nperil you turn to him, rather than to\none of your own sex, with a faith\nwhich is not altogether the result of\nlong centuries of training. This is\nhonest\u00E2\u0080\u0094it may be extremely bad for\nmen to hear, but the right men who\nhear it, will understand, and the\nothers don't matters in the least! I\nwould have women privileged to have\ndelicious hours of pure idleness, when\nall their brain forces are at rest, and\n(Continued on Page Eleven)\nLICENCE TO AN EXTRA-PROVINCIAL\nCOMPANY.\n\"Companies Act, 1897.'\nCanada:\nProvince of British Columbia.\nNo. 417.\nTHIS is to certify that \"The New\nZealand Insurance Company\" is authorised and licensed to carry on business\nwithin the Province of British Columbia, and to carry out or effect all or any\nof the objects of the Company to which\nthe legislative authority of the Legislature of British Columbia extends.\nThe head office of the Company ls\nsituate at the City of Auckland, In the\nColony of New Zealand.\nThe amount of the capital of the\nCompany ls one million pounds, divided\ninto ten thousand shares of one hundred pounds each.\nThe head office of the Company In\nthis Province is situate at Victoria, and\nJames Hill Lawson, merchant, whose\naddress is Victoria ,B.C, is the attorney\nfor the Company.\nGiven under my hand and seal of\noffice at Victoria, Province of British\nColumbia, this 28th day of November,\none thousand nine hundred and seven.\n(L.

Fernie has\ntolerated white wives of negroes and\nblack wives of Japs, without losing\nany pose.

BLAKBMORB. .Manager and Kdlter\nThe Art of Living.\nThe Editor has handed me a long\nand very interesting letter from a\nsubscriber at Bamfield. It was sent\nfor publication, but is too lengthy in\nits present form, although with the\npermission of the writer it will be\nused in our Christmas edition. The\nletter deals with a subject which I\nhave discussed at considerable length\nin The Week and which has elicited\nmuch correspondence. It originated\nin a complaint by new-comers that\nVictorians are unsociable and exclusive. It developed into a brief symposium on the Simple Life. The letter\nfurnishes a peg on which to hand a\nfew stray thoughts with respect to the\nart of living. Do we get enough out\nof life? Do thc majority of us get\nall we might? Do we make the best\nof this world? I often think that if\nthe grumblers would pause to reflect,\nthey would cease to grumble. Is it\nnot a fact that too many people fail\nof attaining happiness because they\nmiss their opportunity. My own belief is that we ask too much, and that\nif fate refuses what we ask, we are\ntoo apt to regard ourselves as ill-\nused mortals, and to brand life as\na cheat.\nI am not referring so much to material gain as to social and personal\nrelations. The richest man in this\nworld is hc who has a true friend,\nthe poorest is he who, though possessing millions, lacks one. There\ncan be no enjoyment without social\nconverse, and no satisfying converse\nexcept with kindred spirits. We may\nmeet men at the club, in the street, ln\nthe office, or at public gatherings, who\nstimulate the intellect and arouse the\npassions and the emotions. This is\none of the most necessary influences\nif character is to be developed and\nthe fighting instinct maintained. But\nit is warfare, and when the pendulum\nswings to the other extreme, self reliance is neither so much in evidence,\nnor so satisfying, and man yearns for\nthc sympathy and encouragement of\nhis fellows.\nFew men have achieved anything in\nthc public service without the support of friends, and men who command that support solely by their\nnatural abilities are apt to lose it.\nThis has been exemplified in several\nremarkable instances during the present generation. We can recall men\nwho by sheer force of character and\nintellectual capacity towered above\ntheir fellows; they attained power,\nwielded influence, and determined\npolicy, but their reign was brief; they\ncould not retain the position they had\ngained, all because they were deficient in those qualities which would\nhave endeared them to their followers.\nThis explains the conspicuous failure\nof such a brilliantly gifted man as Edward Blake, who with all his great\nattainments possessed no magnetism\nand did not give himself the trouble\nto cultivate the true art of living.\nIt is so in every walk of life,\nevery day men support their\nfellows for their personal merits\nrather than their ability. In seeking\na position, amiability and geniality\ncount for more than skill or accmire-\nment. The men of whom others speak\nwell are those who never think it is\ntoo much trouble to try to please. The\nmen whose memories are green today\nand who although they are dead yet\nspeak, are men who felt as well as\nworked for the race. Livingstone,\nGordon and Lincoln, although intellectually inferior are greater powers\nin the world today than Rhodes,\nPalmerston, or Jefferson, and all because their lives exemplified the spirit\nwhich led Abou Ben Adhem to say\nto the Angel, \"I pray thee then write\nme as one who loves his fellow men.\"\nThe thing we are most apt to forget is that we may be just as difficult\nto get on with as others with whom\nwe are impatient, and that every social relation depends for its maintenance upon the principle of compromise.\nThe best that life has to give any\nof us is congenial social intercourse.\nImportant social functions rightly understood are but a means to an end;\nthey should be so regarded and so\nused. They fill a very important place\nin the economy of life; their principal function is to bring about introductions and to break the ice. Without them many people of kindred\ntastes admirably adapted to increase\neach other's happiness, whether in\nthe closest or the less intimate relationships, would never be made.\nThose, therefore, who decry public\ndances and parties have never mastered the philosophy of the question,\nand if they could have their way\nwould narrow down the groove in\nwhich people move until we should all\ntravel in a rut, and life would be rendered monotonous by its boredom.\nAt the same time if the advantage\nis not followed on the best may be\nmissed. Casual acquaintances should\nresult in some permanent friendships,\nand in the formation of little circles\nto which a few kindred spirits will\nnaturally gravitate. When this circle\nis formed there will be a community\nof interests and a oneness of desire\nwhich may be fruitful of the best results.\nThis circle of friendship is the link\nbetween a man's daily avocation and\nthe cultivation of his best instincts.\nWithout it he is not unlike a rudderless barque. To cultivate such a\ncircle constitutes the art of living as\ncontrasted with the vogue of existing.\nWhen the busy man, and especially\nthe man of comparative wealth whose\nevery spare moment is taken up with\nsocial functions and ambitious designs,\nbegins to realize how little these contribute to peace of mind, and real\nhappiness, there will be a readjustment, and it will be upon the lines of\nsimpler living and the cultivation of\nnatural instincts instead of the propagation of artificial emotions.\nLife today is too complex, and the\nnumber of those who have tired of\nit is consequently increasing. Wagner's \"Simple Life\" even though like\nMoore's Utopia,\" it be the work of\nan idealist, has aroused many a responsive echo. W. J. Dawson's\nepochal book, \"A Prophet in Babylon,\" will attract still wider attention.\nAll indicate thc struggle of a human\nspirit to escape from the bondage of\nthis social death, and unless I am\ngreatly mistaken, thc time is at hand\nwhen there will be a revolution\nthroughout the civilized world in\nwhich many false ideals will be over\nwhelmed, and conspicuous among\nthese the ecclesiastical dogmas which\nhave for so long block the way of\nprogress.\nCORRESPONDENCE.\nRats, Panthers and Garbage.\nTo the Editor:\nI see the Vancouver City Council\nhave been proposing a scheme not\nvery practicable to keep infected rats\nout of the city. I do not write to\nrecommend any scheme, but it may\ninterest them to know what is done\nelsewhere. In the Old Country and in\nEastern Canada rat catching is a\ntrade. I do not know whether they\nhave a rat catchers' union, but if you\nemploy one, he charges more per head\nthan the city allows in Victoria. 1\nremember a good story of a Vicar\nwho, after he had engaged the rat\ncatcher at a price, when he saw the\nnumber of live rats he went back on\nhis bargain because the Vicar had\nbeen told that the rat catcher could\nget six cents a piece for the live rats.\nThey are sold for training terrier dogs\nin rat pits. The rat catcher was indignant and opening his wire cage he\nlet them all out in the Vicar's hall\nwith the remark; \"You may keep\nyour rates.\"\nIn Manchester, England, it is a\nrule of the Port that all ships that\ncome up the canal have to pay for\nrat catching when they arrive\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nin this way thousands of rats are\nkilled every year. Could we do this\nin British Columbia.\nThen, as to panthers, I rather think\nthe brute that did the damage, by\nkilling two prize rams two days after\nmy friend got them home from Victoria fair was killed a few days ago\nBut these were not the only lopes my\nfriend had. Do \"we offer sufficient to\nmake it worth while to exterminate\nthese destructive brutes in our neigh\nbourhood? I should like to see the\nprice raised , for both rats and\npanthers.\nAs to the disposal of garbage very\nfew towns have the facilities which\nthe sea offers. Could anything be\nbetter?\nThe Mayor proposed another\nscheme but the citizens rejected it\nWhere was Alderman Vincent that he\ndid not point out that it required\ntwo old tubs Of boats? I am not\nsurprised that this did not strike the\nMayor. But Alderman Vincent\nknows about boats.\n\"F.\"\nVictoria, 12th December, 1907.\nNo Excuse.\nTommy\u00E2\u0080\u0094It's too bad yer grandmother died day 'fore yesterday.\nBenny\u00E2\u0080\u0094Why so?\nTommy\u00E2\u0080\u0094Why, dere's a corkin'\ngame on dis afternoon.\nGifts Worth\nGiving\nNothing else does quite so\nwell for a Man's or a Boy's\nChristinas as something he can\nwear.

It sounds easy,\nbut is extremely difficult. You may\nimagine that you can pen six paragraphs without a sort of sub-conscious attempt to write what someone\nwants you to say, but it is only one\nmon or one woman in a thousand who\ncan divest themselves of that obnoxious \"inner vision\" of the reader\nwho may scan what they read and\nfind fault with it. A woman journalist is nothing but a woman, who as\na little girl has most likely been\ntrained in that school, which means\n\"hush dear, little girls should not say\nthose sort of things.\" You know\nwhat I mean, you who are scanning\nthese lines! that is if you are a woman, and not an American woman!\nfor the real secret of the \"Charming\nAmerican\" is the absolute and entire\ncandour with which she expresses\nopinions which she has never been\ntrained during childhood to confine\nto the ideas which children \"ought\nto express.\" I am not defending the\nAmerican child, usually they \"upset\nthe apple cart\" of dignified society.\nI just point out the fact, that it is\nextremely hard for the ordinary Canadian, or Englishwoman, to really\nsay just what she thinks on matters\nin general. I don't know that you\nwould like hre if she did\u00E2\u0080\u0094she is not\nan easy sort of person to pair off for\na dinner party and she is distinctly\nupsetting at a five o'clock tea. The\ngirl who has been brought up in a\n\"hush dear\" school, is really an easier\nsort of being to adjust in society.\nOh, for a page of \"unsaid\" \"unwritten thoughts,\" something that have\nbeen bottled up for half a lifetime,\nsomething that would be fatal to further conversation and, so to speak,\nturn the world up side down. I must\nconfess to a sort of malicious admiration for the dreadful small boy, who,\nfor the joy of saying what he thinks,\nreally and truly thinks, gets his head\npunched by another boy, . r receives\nthe chastisement due to his audacity\non another part of his anatomy, from\nan enraged adult. He is extremely\nlikely to grow into a wide-awake and\ncourageous citizen, for he knows full\nwell that it is stimulating, r 'ier than\ndepressing, to receive the due reward\nof his freedom of speech.\nSo much then for an excuse lor\nmusing at random on everything in\ngeneral and nothing in particular, using the medium of print and paper,\njust because one has been trained in\na school, which means the sc.ling up\nof thoughts when face to face with\nthose who do not agree with them.\nI make no excuse, for this species\nof cowardness is so common that one\nknows full well that tliere are thousands of men and women in exactly\nthe same sort of terror when they\nmeet their human kind in the ordinary run of every-day intercourse.\nI have always been interested in\nSpiritism\u00E2\u0080\u0094perhaps mainly through\nthe fact that some of my ancestors\nwho had nothing else to bequeath me,\nleft mc with the intolerable legacy\nof a sort of \"second sight\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094and the\nonly reason that I have not devoted\nmore time to the study of pyschical\nresearch is that it produces physical\nconditions which are horribly uncomfortable, and secondly that lhe human\nbeings who surround one, are quite\nas difficult to reach and understand,\nas disembodied spirits\u00E2\u0080\u0094more so perhaps\u00E2\u0080\u0094who does not know that wail\nof some one who has lost their nearest and dearest.\" Oh, if I had only\nunderstood.\" Mow why don't we understand? What is the great mystery\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is why democracy is hard\nat work trying to down barriers between sections of human beings, and\nin nine cases out of ten, the people\nwho are most actively engaged in\ntrying to down these barriers between\nsections in society, are neglecting thc\nbarriers which exist between themselves and those nearest to them.\nThe art of living is complex;\nShakespeare asserted that love was\n\"blind.\" Well, perhaps love is, but\nblind people are extraordinarily sen\nsitive, and they use the \"fifth sense\"\nwhere we don't really try to use the\nfirst!\nThe reason that I don't like the\nidea of suffrage for women, is that we\nshould lose more than we should\ngain. I am not quite sure that privileges are not more precious than\n\"rights.\" I say I am not sure, not\nquite certain to be strictly honest\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand we have privileges which we are\nin danger of losing as we enter the\nmaelstrom of public affairs. I claim\nfor women thc privilege of idleness,\ncomplete and entire\u00E2\u0080\u0094and I know that\nmany busy women wil! combat this\nidea\u00E2\u0080\u0094but the reason is: we are not\nconstituted as men are, and what is\nmore, I am not sorry that we are\nnot. Our intuition is stronger than\nour logic, and our intuition has saved\nmany a dire situation. This power\nof divination goes from us, in the\ntumult of public life, and our endeavour to understand fully, what the\nregistration of our \"vote and influence\" would mean. One does not understand, from the point of view of\ncold reason, why our brains should\nnot be just as powerful as the brains\nof men, perhaps they are, certainly\nthe average woman, is the equal of\nthe average man, but it must be that\n\"brute force\" or \"physical force\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094is\nallowed to dominate this world. I\nonly know that the perfect human\nbeing is the man who has a sort of\nfeminine strain of sympathy and understanding, and that in moments of\nperil you turn to him, rather than to\none of your own sex, with a faith\nwhich is not altogether the result of\nlong centuries of training. This is\nhonest\u00E2\u0080\u0094it may be extremely bad for\nmen to hear, but the right men who\nhear it, will understand, and the\nothers don't matters in the least! I\nwould have women privileged to have\ndelicious hours of pure idleness, when\nall their brain forces are at rest, and\n(Continued on Page Eleven)\nLICENCE TO AN EXTRA-PROVINCIAL\nCOMPANY.\n\"Companies Act, 1897.\"\nCanada:\nProvince of British Columbia.\nNo. 417.\nTHIS Is to certify that \"The New\nZealand Insurance Company\" is authorised and licensed to carry on business\nwithin the Province of British Columbia, and to carry out or effect all or any\nof the objects of the Company to which\nthe legislative authority of the Legislature of British Columbia extends.\nThe head office of the Company is\nsituate at the City of Auckland, in the\nOolony of New Zealand.\nThe amount of the capital of the\nCompany ls one million pounds, divided\ninto ten thousand shares of one hundred uounds each.\nThe head office of the Company in\nthis Province is situate at Victoria, and\nJames Hill Lawson, merchant, whose\naddress is Victoria ,B.C is the attorney\nfor the Company.\nGiven under my hand and seal of\noffice at Victoria, Province of British\nColumbia, tills 28th day of November,\none thousand nine hundred and seven.\n(L.

Herrick MacGregor. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1907.\n11\nMusings Without Malice\n(Continued from Page Ten)\nthey are storing up the force which\nis their peculiar dower\u00E2\u0080\u0094that \"something\" which is akin to a storage battery or reservoir of unexplainable, unthinkable influence. There is no\nword which will suit its quality; it\nis an essence and its distilling a secret process which no brain can quite\npenetrate. Too vague to be called\nreverie, too intangeable for dissection.\nThose women who have nearly reached the \"heights\" in this world, will\nunderstand its significance\u00E2\u0080\u0094the woman who knits, knows something of\nit\u00E2\u0080\u0094ask her what she has been thinking of, and ten chances to one she\nwill answer \"nothing.\" The woman\nwho sits by the fire-side, with a sleeping infant cradled in her arms, crooning softly to herself as she looks into\nthe flames, will answer you just in\nthe same way. She is honest\u00E2\u0080\u0094she\ndoes not know, but some day the\nworld knows, when her unconcious\ngathering of force makes itself felt\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nyou cannot discuss this subject, for it\ngoes too deep into the \"isms\" of life.\nBut we Canadian women must, if\nnecessary, struggle to secure for ourselves these hours of absolute and\nentire idleness\u00E2\u0080\u0094it means so much, in\na country in the process of making\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094it means that we endow our children\nwith a force to combat the nerve\ntroubles which lead to excess in any\ndirection. Our democratic phase of\nsociety leaves us all in a curious state\nof unrest. We try to compass too\nmuch, and fail to recognize our limitations. The fierce pride of the old\nclass distinctions in the British Isles\nwere not without their uses as well\nas abuses. The wife of the proud\nyeoman had none of the struggle and\ntumult of modern society. She was\njust as exclusive in her own way, as\nthe wife of the squire. The pride of\nthe members of the City of London\nGuilds prevented them from ever\n\"aping the quality\" they were secure\non their own ground, and wanted no\nwider field. Serenity and clearly defined class distinctions prevented the\nnervous strain of the present day,\nwhich wears so many people to death.\nIt was Napoleon who said; \"Nothing\nis stolen\u00E2\u0080\u0094everything is paid for,\"\nand we pay for our extraordinary social evolution, which is not an unmitigated blessing, in some respects.\nI remember with much amusement,\na citizen of one of the most terribly\n\"energised\" of Western Canadian\ncities, confided to me that \"it was\nwaste of time to go to Victoria, it\nwas quite dead and had been dead\nfor some years!\" I looked at his\nnerve-racked face, and wondered what\nhis estimate of the life of a man or\nof a city meant\u00E2\u0080\u0094Victoria is in reality\nblest. You do not see the driven expression on the faces of its people\nwhich is so common in our Eastern\nCanadians, and the inhabitants of the\ngreat American cities. Possibly that\nNor-Westerner had come across the\nDump-heap on the James Bay flats\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nit is certainly the first thing which is\napt to strike one's delicate olefactory\nnerves, and he may have thought that\nthe whole of Victoria was in a state\nof decomposition! I really should not\nwonder.\nBut\u00E2\u0080\u0094joking apart\u00E2\u0080\u0094this particular\nportion of the great province should\nproduce a race of people with steady\nnerves and placid temperaments\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\nmost magnificent asset in the building\nof a new nation. It is quite true that\nthe prices you pay for food and lodging, render this no Elderado for the\nworker who earns a modest wage. I\nspeak of course of the \"modest\" wage\nof that inferior section of the community, who are found engaged in\nprofessional work, and journalism,\netc\u00E2\u0080\u0094work which it is true entails a\nlarge expenditure before you are allowed to practice your business, but\n, which we all recognise as of quite\nsecondary importance to the occupations of driving dust carts, etc.\nI notice that barbers' shops and\nreal estate offices are numerous in\nthis beautiful city. One can only\nsuppose that people are anxious to\nget rid of the burden which housekeeping entails. The boarding-houses\nindicate the same state of affairs, and\nit appears that the luxurious male inhabitants of the place, are ready and\nwilling to let some one wield the\nrazor for them, for the paltry sum\nwhich that luxury entails, but the Socialistic spirit cannot tolerate the idea\nof the wives and mothers of the race\nrequiring household help at a reasonable price, for such little burdens, as\nthe carrying of firewood, scrubbing\nand washing! Oh, no\u00E2\u0080\u0094what does it\nmatter, a delicately built woman may\nstand in the drizzling rain and heave\nup armfuls of \"waste wood\" from the\nsaw-mills, into the window of a woodshed, but the husband finds it economical to have his chin shaved by a\nbarber\u00E2\u0080\u0094his time is too precious for\nthis important toilet adornment\u00E2\u0080\u0094he\nmost likely has to attend a meeting\nwhere the iniquity of allowing the\nChinese to enter the Province is in\nsession. There are fees to be paid\nfor the up-keep of the organizing secretary of his \"Union,\" a fee that\nwould go far towards paying for the\n\"China boy\" who might help his wife\nwith the arduous and never-ending\nduties of the household and leave her\nleisure to see more of the children.\nBut no, a sort of wave of absolute\nselfishness seems to envelope those\nwho clamour loudly for the exclusiveness of the only available help in\nhouseholds. They do not see that\nthey are hurting the very core of\ncommunity life\u00E2\u0080\u0094the home. It does\nnot matter if the mother, forced to\nwork from morning until night, finds\nbut little time to look after the\nyoungsters, who, left to themselves,\nfind heir recreation in the streets.\nTalk of the \"yellow peril\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094the peril\nwhich besets this country lies in the\nwaning influence of the parents in the\nhome. Juvenile courts are an outcome of this state of affairs. We hear\non every side of petitions for legislation which will curb the evils among\nchildren, who have become as it were,\n\"wards of the street.\" Good, wholesome food, at a reasonable price, eggs,\nbutter and milw, in plenty, and the\ncompanionship of the parents instead\nof street companions, would remedy\nmany of the evils of which we read.\nI once heard a police court missionary in London, England, speak\non the subject of juvenile criminals,\nand he asserted that one of the roots\nof this class of crime was to be found\nin the everlasting \"errands\" on which\nchildren were sent. How on earth is\na hard-driven mother to avoid sending her children on errands if she\nhas no leisure\u00E2\u0080\u0094and perhaps an infant in arms\u00E2\u0080\u0094to prevent her doing\nthe necessary shopping herself? An\nover-driven woman is not a fascinating companion, for either adult or\nchild. You seek your recreation elsewhere if you are a wise man, but are\nyou a \"wise man\" if you put burdens\non shoulders which are not fit to bear\nthem? To be a good housekeeper,\ngood house-drudge and home-maker\nat the same time, would be an accomplishment which would be impossible\nfor any man, and more than impossible for the woman who brings children into the world.

It was afternoon, rain\nwas pouring down, the streets and\nroads everywhere ankle deep in mud.\nVictoria officialdom as personified by\nthese august personages, huddled under umbrellas, and trapesed with unsteady steps towards the garbage heap\non James Bay flats. A careful inspection, sundry sniffs, momentus\nshakes of the head indicated to the\nobserver that neither the chief magistrate nor his satellites suffered any\ninconvenience from the proximity of\nChinatown refuse or scampering\nrodent.\nThen an adjournment was made to\nthe Dallas Road and the three conscientious public servants wended\ntheir way to the park and as far east\nas Moss Street, where preparations\nhave been made for the new dump.\nHere-again an interesting colloquy\ntook place. One could see from the\neloquent gestures of the party that\nits members were quite unable to understand why any sensible man j\nshould object to their project for getting rid of garbage, and as they re-1\ntraced their steps it was evident to the |\nmost casual observer that Bumbledom would put down its foot upon'\nany suggestion to shift the dump toI\nthe western corner of Heywood\navenue. It would take a Dickens to'\ndo justice to the eccentric vagaries of\nthis little coterie of quidnuncs searching for\u00E2\u0080\u0094smell.\nPassing down Fort Street on Wed\nnesday afternoon I was attracted to\nWilliams and Janion's Auction Room\nby their red flag. I found a book sale\nin full swing and during the few\nminutes which I spent there, added to\nmy somewhat slender stock of knowledge of human nature. First I learned\nthat there is nothing like an auction\nfor forcing people to give fancy prices\nwhen they have made up their minds\nto get a thing. I saw several sets\nof books sold at more per volume\nthan they could have been purchased\nfor in the local book stores. On the\nother hand sets of books which had\noriginally been bought on the instalment plan at $2.50 to $3.00 each sold\nfor 50 cents a volume. Knowing a\nlittle about books I had no difficulty\nin understanding the latter incident.\nThe fact is that these subscription\nbooks contain a bushel of chaff to a\ngrain of wheat, and out of thirty\nvolumes the literature really worth\npreserving could probably be compressed into three, in which case the\npurchaser paid enough.\nWhat interested me most, however,\nwas the relative market price of different books. When Shakespeare\nwrote his immortal couplet anent\nCoasar, dead and turned to clay stopping a hole to keep the wind away,\nhe was laying down a principle which\napplies to many other things, among\nthem books. Who would have believed that Willison's Life of Laurier,\nan edition de luxe, of which only 1,000\ncopies were printed, and sold to admirers of the great statesman at $25\neach, did not* elicit a single bid, in\nspite of the honied ccents and persuasive manner of the people's own\nauctioneer? On the other hand, who\nwould have thought that a lady on\nthe one side of the table and a popular pedagogue on the other would\nhave run to nearly double their market value, four volumes of unexpur-\ngated Italian novels? The supposition is that both the lady and the\npedagogue were anxious to secure\nthem in order to destroy, and so withdraw them from circulation.\nOne of the most coveted lots was\na smal set of books dealing with the\nhistory of well known ladies of high\ndegree who figure largely in French\nhistory. If I remember rightly in\nthis case the lady outbid all com-'\npetitors.\nIt was very gratifying to a lover\nof literature to find that the old English novelists were appreciated and\nfetched the highest prices. A set of\nThackeray sold for $50 and one of\nDickens for $48, whilst Smollett\nfetched a good price and a translation of Rabelais figured among the\nhigh ones.\nI was equally pleased to notice that\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\n4\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nLOOK AT THIS\nWE ARE GIVING AWAY\nFREE\n$400 Worth of\nTALKIOQ MACHINES.\ncheap American books either elicited\nno bids or were disposed of for a few\ncents per volume. After ail Victorians\nappreciate literature, and have no desire to purchase their books by the\nton. A book lover is always a book\nlover; he will spend his last dollar\nand if necessary pawn his shirt to\nsecure the desired volume, and I am\nproud to know that the race is well\nrepresented in the City of Victoria.\nI have been asked to throw out a\nsuggestion to the Real Estate Agents\nof the Capital City. I have already\nthrown out several which they do not\nappreciate, but that is only because 1\nhave been dissembling my love. If\nthey would only realize it, I am their\nbest friend. The suggestion is that\nthey should open their offices a little\nearlier in the morning and take a\nshorter lunch hour. I know a gentleman who came to the town with his\nwife on the 4th inst.; he began to\nlook around for a small furnished\nhouse. On Monday last he went to\nthree real estate offices, to which he\nhad been recommended, between 9.30\nand 10 o'clock in the morning. They\nwere all closed. He went to one of\nthe three at 2 o'clock, the agent had\nnot returned from lunch. When leaving the latter office he met a friend\nwho advised him to take a bedroom\nat the Poplars, one of the most comfortable boarding houses in the City;\nhe interviewed the lady of the house,\ntook the room and is now settled\nthere for the winter. I do not in the\nleast regret this, but would point out\nthat if he could have found either of\nthe real estate agents at his office he\nwould probably have rented a furnished house at four times the price he\nis paying for a bedroom.\nI hope as it is near Christmas time\nthe rea! estate men will for once exercise the virtue of forgiveness\ntowards the\nQ&\n*\"%>\u00C2\u00AB-\u00C2\u00A3\u00E2\u0082\u00AC*>\nr\nHOW WE DO IT\nWo iniend tn give away Ton beautiful now stylo Aluminum\nTout!
