It\nis easily the best representative Canadian magazine yet published, and is\na splendid indication of the advances\nthat have been made in a literary and\nartistic way in the Dominion. There\nis a long table of contents, and some\nof the best known contributors are\nTheodore Roberts, Robt. E. Knowles,\nFrederick George Scott, Isabel Eccle-\nstone Mackay, Virna Sheard, Jean\nBlewett, George Herbert Clarke, Albert R. Carman, James P. Haversuii,\nL. M. Montgomery, S. T. Wood, Augustus Bridle, Jean Graham, Archie\nP. McKishnie and S. A. White, with\na hitherto unpublished poem by William Henry Drummond. There are\nseveral illustrations in colour from\nreproductions of clever drawings by\nJ. W. Beatty. The other artists whose\nillustrations appear in this number arc\nFergus Kyle, T. G.

FELIX OOUBATTS'B\nOriental Cream\nAn Idyl of Village Life.\nZona Gale's Ne wBook, \"Friendship\nVillage,\" an American \"Cranford,''\npublished by Macmillan & Co., Toronto.\nTo say that \"Friendship Village,\"\nthe new book by the author of- \"The\nLoves of Pelleas and Etarre,\" is better even than its predecessor, may\nseem extravagant praise; nevertheless, this verdict will probably be upheld by a jury of readers. Miss Gale\nis a fortunate mortal, for she has certainly lived in the most delightful\nvillage in America. The people one\nmeets in the pages of \"Friendship\nVillage\" are so real that they cannot\nbe entirely \"made up\" characters. The\ncharm of the book, the exquisite\ntruth of its delineations, will be fully\nappreciated only by those who have\nlived or at least visited in a small\nAmerican village, say of the middle\nWest. Yet there is so much universal humanity in these characters that\neven the most confirmed city dweller\ncould not miss all of their attraction.\nCalliope Marsh is a character who\nhas come to stay. She is altogether\nreal without being in the slightest degree like anyone else. She is shrewd\nand unworldly, grotesquely funny and\nirresistibly charming, and her opinions of all that goes on about her\nprovide a fund of entertainment that\nlasts from the beginning to the end\nof the book.\nOne such character would make\nFriendship Village remarkable, but\nCalliope is not the only original character in this unique village. Here are\nsome' of the others as they come on\nlhe stage:\n\"I am fond of remembering them\nas I saw them first: the Topladys,\nthat great Mis' Amanda, ponderous,\nmajestic, and suggesting black gros-\ngrain, her beaming way of wholehearted approval not quite masking\nthe critical, housewife glances which\nshe continually cast; and little Timothy, her husband, who, in, company\nwent quite out of his head and could\nthink of nothing to say save 'Blister-\nin' Benson, what I think is this: ain't\neverything movin' off nice?'

A great many of them profited by our advice. Since\nthat time International Coal & Coke has sold as high as $1.00, and\nhas been a regular dividend payer for almost two years.

The fact that this well known Institution will\nact as transfer agents gives tlie public every confidence ln the\nundertaking. According to engineers' reports, the company will be\nable to produce coal at a very low cost, owing to the very favorable\nlocation of the property.

It dealt with an\naddress delivered in that city by an\neminent educationalist who strongly\nadvocated open air schools, lie came\nto Montreal on the invitation of the\nSchool Trustees to give thc benefit\nof his experience of an open air\nschool which he is conducting on\nRhode Island. In this school there\nare no windows or doors, the air\nfrom the outside is free to circulate\nwherever natural conditions determine, the class rooms are warmed by\na sufficient number of stoves, and the\nchildren wear their out of door clothing. Apart from the main idea, which\nis hygienic, the system is specially\nadapted to combat the \"white plague\"\nand the lecturer declares that it was\nabsolutely successful and the children who had evidenced the beginnings of the disease had completely\nrecovered under this system. I wonder when people will learn that oxygen is not merely hygienic but curative. I wonder further when School\nTrustees all the world over will learn\nthat the neglect to supply the chil-\nI dren with abundant fresh air even in\ntheir class rooms and to permit the\ncontinuous system of closed windows\nand doors is nothing short of\ncriminal? 1\nI said something last week about\nMunicipal equilibrists and opined that\nMayor Hall was not the greatest sinner in this respect, in view of the\naction in thc Police Court during the\nweek it is not permissible to say anything more about the particular cartoon under discussion, but anyone\nwho reads the editorial on the subject which appeared in last Saturday's issue of the People's Press will\nprobably endorse the opinion 1 expressed last week, that the great\nMoral Reform programme is a side\nissue, ancl that the moral reformers\nwhose names figure on the prospectus\nof the Company when the paper was\nlaunched are simply being made use\nof as pawns in a game of which they\nknow little and understand less. In\nthese clays of advanced science it\nwould only be charitable to assume\nthat they were hypnotized by some\nmodern Moses who is supposed to be\nleading them to thc Promised Land.\nIt looks to me as if their wanderings\nin the wilderness will parallel those\nof the Israelites.\nI was very glad to notice the\npromptitude with which the Empress\nand Driard Hotels responded to my\nsuggestion to open Grill Rooms. Indeed thc promptness was so striking\nas to be only explicable on the\nground of hypnotic suggestion, for\nalthough The Week is nqt published\nuntil Saturday my letter was written\non Friday, and lo! and behold thc\nnext clay thc announcement was made\nthat the Empress would act upon the\nsuggestion of Thc Week; the Driard\nhaving apparently decided to do so a\nlittle earlier. Both hotels are to be\ncongratulated on recognizing the\nvalue of my suggestion. (Thc foregoing paragraph is in the usual \"Colonist\" style, but for fear of offending\nthe susceptibilities of the Lounger it\nis allowed to pass this time.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Ed.\nWeek). -\nI am neither a prophet nor the son\nof a prophet, but like Saul of old\n1 often find myself lounging among\nthe prophets. From a venerable seer\nwho has had wide experience in star\ngazing, studying the signs of the\nZodiac, ancl performing other freak\nastronomical stunts; I learned that the\ncoming winter is to be a very severe\none and that Victoria may expect\nharder trost than it experienced two\nyears ago. My informant declined\nto give any reason for his belief, but\nthat is the usual attitude of professional prophets, you have to take their\nutterances on faith, I always take\nthem with a grain of salt, but this\ntime I really feel in my bones as if\nthe prediction is likely to be true;\ncertainly King Frost has made an\nearly ancl a fierce start ancl I am\nmore than ever glad that I did not\nsell my old Northwest Coon coat for\nthc live , dollars that a generous\nhearted second-hand clothes dealer\noffered me in thc spring. At the risk\nof being shot in mistake for a deer,\nI shall be wearing it this winter in\nthc streets of Victoria if it gets much\ncolder.\nCondolences are in order ancl I tender mine most sincerely to the C.P.R.\nat the untoward result of the collision\nbetween the Charmer and the Scow,\nIf the passengers could have been\nsnatched up in a Zeppelin airship I\ncould have devoutly wished that the\nCharmer would have sunk, if possible,\nin a thousand fathoms of water. That\nthe vessel should have been saved as\nwell as the passengers is little short\nof a calamity. For once I find my\nvocabulary inadequate to express my\nfeelings but Victorians have a grudge\nagainst the Charmer which will not\nbc removed until that miserable tub\nreceives its \"coup dc grace.\" Time\nwould fail me to tell of the hours\nand indeed days which I havc lost\nthrough belated passages on thc\nCharmer. She is a miserably inefficient, out-of-date boat, top heavy, uncontrollable, and in a storm unsea-\nworthy. it is a libel upon thc splendid system of steamships operated by\nthe C.P.R. for a passenger vessel to\noccupy nine hours in making the trip\nfrom Victoria to Vancouver. It is\nan even greater discredit for such a\nvessel to have to tie up or retreat\nten or twenty miles in a storm\nthrough which any of the other vessels would plough their Way in safety. No doubt the best policy was\npursued in all these cases, which,\nhowever, only emphasizes the grudge\nwhich thc public havc against the\nCharmer.\nI. fear that 1 havc said so much\nabout the streets of Victoria at one\ntime or another that my readers\nhardly consider Loungers weekly\nletter complete without some reference to that. This week, however, 1\nhave only to say that it is about time\nsomeone undertook to render Cook\nstreet passable; 1 imagine the responsibility for its present outrageous condition rests with the city authorities;\nat any rate they are the ones to\nwhom the public has a right to look.\nThe street railway has been completed on Cook street for at least\ntwo months ancl there is no excuse\non this ground for the delay in levelling up and constructing a decent thoroughfare. I do not often resort to\nthe use of slang, but in the present\ninstance am constrained to say that\nCook street is the worst yet.\nOn the Same Terms.\nDiner (who has run up a heavy\nbill)\u00E2\u0080\u0094You are manager here, eh?\nWell, six months ago I dined here,\nand unfortunately, being unable tp\npay my bill\u00E2\u0080\u0094er\u00E2\u0080\u0094yon kicked mc down\nstairs.\nThe Manager\u00E2\u0080\u0094very sorry, indeed,\nsir, but business, you know\u00E2\u0080\u0094er\u00E2\u0080\u0094I\nhad to\u00E2\u0080\u0094cr\t\nDiner\u00E2\u0080\u0094Oh, that's all right, old\nchap\u00E2\u0080\u0094but\u00E2\u0080\u0094might I trouble you again?\nSarcasm of the Road.\n\"Lady,\" said Plodding Pete, \"dat\nbulldog 0' yer's mighty near caught\nme.\"\n\"He did?\" exclaimed the woman\nwith a lirmly set jaw. \"I'll give Him\nthc worst heating he ever had!\"\n\"Lady, be merciful.

I've been going\nout early for thc morning papers for\na long time now.\" THE WEEK, MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1908.\nSporting Comment.\nThe first Rugby football match of\nthe season against an out of town\nclub will take place on Saturday at\nOak Bay when the local exponents\nwill try conclusions with the Terminal City representatives.\nThe fifteen that have been selected\nto represent the Capital City are the\nbest of those who have attended practice and taken as a team it is a very\ncreditable line-up. I understand that\ntliere was considerable difficulty in\nselecting the team owing to the lack\nof interest that has been shown by\nsome of the players regarding practice and had every member of the\nclub turned out there would have been\nseveral changes, but it was up to the\nselection committee to give those who\nhave been attending practice the preference. As 1 have already stated\nthe team that has been selected should\ngive a good account of themselves as\nevery man is in good condition and\ncan be depended on to go the pace\nwithout flinching. The team that will\nrepresent Vancouver will, with one\nor two exceptions bc the same as\nvisited California a few weeks ago,\nand as they have had the advantage\nof playing together it can be readily\nseen that the locals will bc up against\nit. They should in no wise discourage them, however, as the locals are\nindividually as good as their opponents. The game should be well\nworth witnessing and I hope there\nwill be a big turnout.\nSince my last remarks several important sporting events have taken\nplace which have materially altered\nthe standing of some of the champions. The first win was that of\nFreddie Welsh, the English featherweight, who successfully picked the\nplumes from Abe Attell. Although the\nmatch was not scheduled as a championship event, considerable interest\nwas taken in it and the wise ones\nwho saw the fight are of the opinion\nthat the Englishman had the better\nof the argument from the beginning.\nThe other event to which I refer was\nthe defeat of Hayes, the United\nStates Marathon winner by Dorando,\nthe Italian, who made such a gallant\n'fight for first place at the Olympic\ngames. I am in no way prejudiced\nagainst the Americans, but I tliink\nthis defeat will cause the officials of\nthe American Athletic Union to sit\nup and take notice. I notice that the\nCanadian long distance runner, Longboat, is matched against the Italian\nand it should be a great struggle.\nThe race for the championship of\nthe Victoria City League in Association football is attracting considerable attention as there is still a possibility of cither the Victoria West,\nJames Bay or Esquimalt winning out.\nAt present the Wests are in the lead\nwith the Bays four points behind,\nhaving played one games less with\nEsquimalt next one point away. The\ngame between Victoria West and\nJames Bay which is the next on the\nschedule will practically decide the\nchampionship. Unless the Bays win\nthey will bc out of the race, that is,\nconsidering that thc Wests win their\nremaining game which is practically\nconceded. The match last Saturday\nbetween thc Bays and Esquimalt resulted in a win for the former by\nthe score of 4-2. In referring to this\nmatch I havc to state that the game\nwas started sharp on time, thanks to\nReferee Rutherford, but in doing so,\nCostello of the Esquimalt team and\nLawson of the Bays were not on\nhand. Thc former decided to put\non an extra while the Bays played\nten men until the absentee arrived.\nThere has always been a tendency to\ndelay the games, but if all the referees wcre as strict regarding thc\nstarting time as Rutherford is there\nwould be very few complaints. Thc\nresult of the match put the Bays\nahead of Esquimalt in the race after\na very sharp match. The Esquimalt\nteam presented a stronger appearance and played a far better games\nagainst the Bays than they did\nagainst the Wests thc Saturday previous, but they were unable to win.\nIn the game against Victoria Wests\nthe half-backs were weak. This was\nnot the case against the Bays, as the\nhalves supported the attacking division in good style. The Bays on the\nother hand started off at a lightening\npace and maintained it until they had\nrolled up a comfortable margin when\nthey appeared to lag. In the second\nhalf the Bays did not do as much\nwork as their opponents and did not\nscore again while the Esquimalt secured their two points. On the form\nof the two teams, however, the Bays\nplayed the better game, although they\ndid not Lave as much play as Esquimalt. On the showing made by the\nthree teams in the past two games\nI think the Bays have slightly the\nbest of the argument, although I admit that they will have to go all the\ntime to beat the boys iu green and\nwhite from the western suburb.\nThe schedule for the Island League\nhas been arranged and it will give\nVictoria good first class football until\nnear the end of March. The Esquimalt and Victoria United have entered from this city and it would\nnot be surprising if the championship was brought to this city after\nan absence of eight years.\nUMPIRE.\nVictoria Theatre\nMONDAY, DEC. 7TH\nGeo.

Do they,\nafter they marry, remain on intimate\nterms with their own friends? On\nthe contrary, they are obliged to become intimate with hers. Are they\nable, as a matter of practical politics, to see much of their own family\nand relatives? In nine cases out of\nten, they entertain only those of their\nwives. Can a man continue to have\nhis own hobbies, indulge in his own\namusements, stay at home, and travel\nwhere he likes? We will draw a veil\nover the situation, lest the young\nman be deterred from marriage and\nthis Island wants for inhabitants.
