p. 4 *mJE ISLANDERS Largest Circulation in the Comox District. VOL. IV., No. 30 THE ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND, B.C., SATURDAY. OCT. 25, 1913 SENTENCES IN LADYSMITH CASES Five Men are Sentenced to Two Years, Twenty-three get One Yeai, & Eleven 3 Months The men who pleaded guilty to a charge of participating in the rioting at Ladysmith on August eleventh and twelfth last, also those who were found guilty on the same charge were sentenced yesterday morning by His Honor Judge Howay, says the Herald, When the sentences were announced a number of women in the gallery, wives or relatives of the prisoners, screamed and became hysterical and had to be removed from the court before the judge could proceed with deliberations. In giving out sentences His Honor said "It is the custom when sentences are given that the judge make but very little comment thereon but in this case I am going to depart from the usual custom for these cases are out of the ordinary and call for a few remarks from me. Let me say to you men before going further that you have been well defended, and this has been shown, not only in the handling of your cases but in the selection of those of you who pleaded guilty or not guilty. Your council has said all that could be said and if I have found you guilty it is not because your council has erred but because you have woven around you a net of circumstances beyond the power of any council to untangle. This was not an ordinary riot. It was not a sudden ebullition of pent up feeling but it shows all down the line a deliberate scheme a designe from one end to the other. The riots at Nanaimo, South Wellington and Ladysmith were all for one purpo-e, were simultaneous and carried out with one line of action. Bombs were thrown, property destroyed and peaceful citizens made to flee for their lives and a persistent state of terrorism indulged in. After the bomb throwing at the Temperance Ho'el parades were formed, evidently for the purpose of showing your numeral strength and that you were in charge of the situation. After this mobs ran at large all over the city, picking out various houses and stoning them. Then later on another mob or two went around on what they termed a "Peace Mission" but which really meant that a band of lawless citizens went around ordering peaceful citizens out of town at the risk of their lives, and these people had a right to work as you had. Anything less than this is mob rule. Your counsel has made to me various pleas. He has told me that many of you pleaded guilty and that is a factor that must be taken into consideration. I have looked over your faces to see if I could see any sign of sorrow or repentance for what you have done, but I fail to fir.d one man among you to express sorrow for his lawless act. Your counsel knows there is no more simpathetic man than myself, one ever ready to extend mercy, but when we read over the depositions a""d find but little mercy you have show**. I read where hemes of sickness were not free ficm missies which you threw and little children hid in cupboards and under beds to escape the rocks thrown upon them in the merciless fusilade, and the only time any mercy was shown was when one of you said "Don't throw a rock at that house there is measles there." And when the cowardly bombs were thrown at the Temprance Hotel and and at toe home of Alex McKinnon, the only mercy shown was the mercy of God. "I was appealed to on behalf of your wives and children but what do I (ind here? I find youi women singing, "drive the scabs away" and throwing rocks themselves and these actions take away very much of the strength of the appeal for mercy on your behalf because of your women. The evidence shows not only a riot here but that a far more serious charge might have been laid against you. "I recognize I have a duty to perform, painful in the extreme, but the law abiding people of this community must be protected and punishment meted out that there may be no further occurence of these lawless acts. I have arranged you into three classes according to your degree*of guilt. In the first class are Paul Deconich, Samuel Guthrie, John Morgan, Wm. Simpson jr., and Joshua John Taylor. The maximum penalty for rioting is two years. I have gone the line, through the depositions and find Guthrie and Taylor to be the leaders, to be formentors and not peace makers in a determination to carry out an illegal purpose. Deconich, Morgan and Simpson were not leaders in the rioting yet the evidence showed you in the thing from beginning to end I see no reason why I should give you clemency on account of your age and I will thereiore sentence^ you all to a term of two years in the penitentiary, sentence to date from now. "In the second list I have placed John Alsopp, jr,, J. H. Armstrong, CharlesAxelson.Wm. Bauld, Geo.Bombero, SamBright- man, Jas. colley, Robert cossar, Peter Galuska, H. H. Langdon. Duncan McKenzie, John McKenzie, Joseph Mairs, jr., James Marshall, C.Mortimer.SteveMrus, Steve Puyar.ich, G. Portray, Wm Stackhouse, Martin Slogar, Jas. Wallace, Robert Walkinshaw and Charles Yoga. I do not find you men as deeply involved as the ringleaders but you were engaged in a work of destruction and the sentence of the court is one year's imprisonment and a fine of #100 or in default four months. In the third list are Henry Dyer, John Fisher, Erne»t James, Alvar Ko- tilla, William Sterling, Richard Morgan, sr., William Peterson, John Scott, Henry Taylor, Richard Whisker and EdwardWilliams 1 find you men not to be involvea very deeply and the sentence of the court is three months in jail and a fine of $50 or in default two months. Dwyer, you were shown to be badly mixed up in this affair but you were the only one who told me the truth when 1 asked for a statement from the accused, and when the work of destruction was going on you were the only one who had any sympathy in your heart for the victims of the mob's vengence," Mr. Leighton. counsel for the prisoners, submitted His Honor should consider the length of time the men had already served and make the sentences date from the day of arrest, which request His Honor gave. concluding his remarks Judge Howay said: " In conclusion I want to say this is the most painful matter I have ever undertaken and if I were to consider my own feelings this is the last thing I would wish to do. But in my position I must recognize the community as a whole and I feel, a'id I believe the public will feel, that I have exercised an extremely fair tempering of justice with mercy. I wish to thank the officers of the mihta and the court officials for their kindness and services during the progress of these trials." court thereupon adjom-ned, FAIL TO MAKE A STAND The members of the United Mine Workers of America are decreasing fast, while some are leaving the city others are returning to work in the local mines. In a very short time all that will be left to represent that foreign organization will be the leading agitators, the officials and those who are better off with the U.M, W. of A. pay than they would be if they were working. We have those people in the district who prefer the so-called holiday to manuel labour. During the past few days several members of the U.M.W. of A. have seen the error of their ways and returned back to work in the local mines. A year ago loads of f uniture were seen coming from the company's houses on Union Street, West Cumberland, into the city limits. The tables are turned, loads of furniture are seen going back to where they came from a year ago, with the inhabitants poorer but wiser, feeling sorry at being led astray by agitators who will render them little or no assist* ance. Others who are still idle are feeling sore at the loss of a year's work, with no prospect of securing employment and winter approaching. There is another remarkable, change around the railway station. A few weeks ago crowds of idle spectators UbmciuUlvJ «b the okavtuil Ul Ult arrival and departure of trains. This has died away, the curiosity has worn off, passengers come and go without being witnessed by a crowd of sight-seers wondering* what their business might be. Numerous employees are again seen on the streets, in the stores and around- the town. Subscription price, $1.50 per year Workers continually increasing while the idlers are decreasing. The Cumberland of today is a great improvement on the Cumberland of a year ago, and will continue to improve. The standing of the U. M. W. of A. In this town is fading away with a rapidity that is astonishing, even to those who really thought that that organization would succeed on Vancouyer Island. With an CONCERT AT BEVAN A very high class concert was given at Bevan on Wednesday evening under the able chairmanship of Mr. T. A. Spruston on the occasion of the opening of the new school house.

MAKE SURE BEFORE SIGNING There are some of the residents of today who have been absent from the city for three or four months at a time without any place of abode within the city limits.

Mrs. Murphy is also an accomplished elocutionist. Mr. Davidson made a decided hit with a topical stump speech. Messrs. Davidson, Parkinson and O'Connor were good as humorists and were favorites with audience. Mesdames Wells and Myers gave excellent renderings of their songs, Mrs. Wells also ably accompanied. Miss Langslow, who has a pleasing voice, unfortunately choose a song beyond her compass. Miss Spruston made her debut as a singer in a very pretty manner and great things are expected of her. Messrs. Ward, Brennan Boffey and Bettikergave their items in good style. The BevanString Band gave selections After the concert a dance was held at which dainty and abundant refreshments were served.

Farrington, who was responsible for the extension of the labor troubles at Nanaimo*to the mines of the Western Fuel, Pacific Coast and Vancouver-Nanaimo wrote a letter to the Fernie Ledger warning union against breaking their agreements by going out on a general strike as proposed by the B. C. Federation of Labor as a protest against the malitia being called to Nanaimo. Had Mr. Farrington been as honest in recognition of the agreements existing between the coal companies and their employees there would have been no labor trouble at Nanaimo: no riots: no miners in gaol for breachsof the law; and no malitia. In fact conditions would have been to lame to suit a professional agitator of his class and the re- suits only emphasize tbe extent of the mischief that can be wroght by such a man." Ottawa, Oct. 20.—While no official announcement has been made by the Government, it is now practically certain that Parliament will not meet until January. It is customary to give the Members of the House at least thirty days notice of the intention of the Government to call the House together. Parliament could not now be convened until so late in November that it would not be worth while bringing the members to Ottawa. Practically nothing could be accomplished before the Christmas adjournment. It is certain; however, that tho Governmeni will fix the date for the opening as soon after the New Year as possible, the expectation being that the parliamentary machinery will be running by January 10th. WILL ELECTRIFY THE C.P.R. *n*TiLwSifeggi Wis- Oct, 21,-The entire system oi unttnim I „ Railway may be electrified. This was the declaration today of Sir Thomas Shaughnessy president of the road, as he started for Winnipeg to inspect sites there for new terminals. The work now being started in the Rocky Mountains looking to the operation of electric instead of steam locomotives over several divisions is merely an experiment, he said, preliminary to the installation of electricity throughout the system if the experiments prove successful. The Rocky Mountain division, presents every problem of handling traffic known to railroading, and if electricity succeeds there its universal adoption is certain on the entire system, Freight and passanger trains alike are to be handled by electricity, and there are plenty of waterpower sites available for developing the power over the entire system if the heavy grades in the mountains can be conquered by the electric locomotives.

There is another remarkable, change around the railway station. A few weeks ago crowds of idle spectators assembled at the station at the arrival and departure of trains. This has died away, the curiosity i worn off, passengers come and go without being witnessed by a crowd of sight-seers wondering what their business might be. Numerous employees are again seen on the streets, in the stores and around, the town. Workers continually increasing while the idlers are decreasing. The Cumberland of today is a great improvement on the Cumberland of a year ago, and will continue to improve. The standing of the U. M. W. of A. in this town is fading away with a rapidity that is astonishing, even to those who really thought that that organization would succeed on Vancouyer Island. With an erormous expenditure, and no possible sign of any return of the outlay, it is all off with the check off, the rake off, and the U. M, W. of America. NEW PASSENGER SCHEDULE October 20th. 1913.

CONCERT AT BEVAN A very high class concert was given at Bevan on Wednesday evening under the able chairmanship of Mr. T. A. Spruston on the occasion of the opening of the new school house. The galaxy of talent was a surprise to everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, who are professional artistes of high standing, made a good impression in their rendering of the comedietta "A happy pair." Mrs. Murphy is also an accomplished elocutionist. Mr. Davidson made a decided hit with a topical stump speech. Messrs. Davidson, Parkinson and O'Connor were good as humorists and were favorites with audience. Mesdames Wells and Myers gave excellent renderings of their songs, Mrs, Wells also ably accompanied. Miss Langslow, who has a pleasing voice, unfortunately choose a song beyond her compass. Miss Spruston made her debut as a singer in a very pretty manner and great things are expected of her. Messrs. Ward, Brennan Boffey and Bettikergave their items in good style. The BevanString Band gave selections After the concert a dance was held at which dainty and abundant refreshments were served.

C. Federation of Labor as a protest against the malitia being called to Nanaimo, Had Mr. Farrington been as honest in recognition of the agreements existing between the coal companies and their employees there would have been no labor trouble at Nanaimo: no riots: no miners in gaol for breachsof the law; and no malitia. In fact conditions would have heen to tame to suit a professional agitator of his class and the re- suits only emphasize the extent of the mischief that can be wroght by such a man." Present Probabilities are Parliament will be Summoned on January 8th. Ottawa, Oct. 20.- While no official announcement has been made by the Government, it is now practically certain that Parliament will not meet until January. It is customary to give the Members of the House at least thirty days notice of the intention of the Government to call the House together. Parliament could not now be convened until so late in November that it would not bo worth while bringing the members to Ottawa. Practically nothing could be accomplished before the Christmas adjourr- ment. It is certain; however, that the Governmeni will fix the date for the opening as soon after the New Year as possible, the expectation being that the parliamentary machinery will be running by January 10th.

Oct, 21,—The entire system of Canadian Pacific Railway "may be electrified. This was the declaration today of Sir Thomas Shaughnessy president of the road, as he started for Winnipeg to inspect sites there for new terminals. The work now being started in the Rocky Mountains looking to the operation of electric instead of steam locomotives over several divisions is merely an experiment, he said, preliminary to the installation of electricity throughout the system if the experiments prove successful. The Rocky Mountain division, presents every problem of handling traffic known to railroading, and if electricity succeeds there its universal adoption is certain on the entire system. Freight and passanger trains alike are to be handled by electricity, and there are plenty of waterpower sites available for developing the power over the entire system if the heavy grades in the mountains can be conquered by the electric locomotives.

LOVE COUPS ALL THINGS (BY ARTHUR APPLIN) $ Ward, Lock & Co.. Limited, London, Melbourne end Toronto (Contlnr *d) They walked on and on, wadlnc and scnu..bring through bog and undergrowth. When at last twilight bride them return, Hethcrington realized lhat Po^gy Mehon bad helped blm to pick uu tho thrcade of his life. This wns something he had done before! Perhaps a long tlmo ago—for Mb enjoyment was so keen. Once when they came to an almost Impassible piece of ground, whero the river was divided by an Island, Hetherlngton oaujht Peg^y up In his arms and waded across with hor. And afterwards —love had shaken him as fear had never done—strands of the copper colored hair had blown across his face, rosy sun kissed cheeks had been terribly close to his lips -nd the temptation to cove them with kisses and to confess his love and the secret ot his unknown life had been almost overwhelming. Perhaps Peggy read the passion ln his eyes, for when he put her down sho pretendea to be annoyed. Very Tew words pirssed between them as they made their way back to the bridge. Hetherlngton dared not trust himself to speak and Peggy was suddenly shy. On their way to the Hed Cottage, they met Dr. Murray who asked If he might walk back wllh Hetherlngton to the Hall. I have Just heard that tha Inquest ou your chauffeu • ls fixed for to-morrow, he said as soon as they were alone; of course there Ib no question ns to tho caubT of his death—Uie cause of the accident seems a sort of mystery. Your mind Is still a blank as to what happened? Absolutely, Hetherlngton replied. Do you know, doctor, 1 would willingly glve half my fortune If the blank could be filled up. I suppose ln your experience you have come across the case of a man entirely losing his mom ory, the result of an accident oi shock? Is there any means to hasten shall we say, the return of memory— an operation for example? That depends on the nature of the accident. If lt was the result of blow ou the skull which left a portion uf bone pressing on the brain, an operation might certainly be successful, Vou don't think ln your case—? I was only wondering, Hetherlngton Interrupted, the Jury may suspect me to-morrow when it finds I can give no account whatever of what happened tip there on the moorland. Oh, you will remember enough to satisfy the coroner, Murray laughed. Vou certainly got .. nasty crack and .ou ought to be careful for a little while. Hetherlngton said no more. But tie Idea took possession of him—if the worst happened, if memory never relumed and If he were always haunted with the belief that he was a murderer —It that stood, as he knew It would, - barrier between him and the woman he had already learned to lo.'e, a surgeon's knife might open up tun past and show him who and what h; really wirsl But he recoiled from that Idea. Whi'.rj he was Ignorant he could at least hope—and love. When he know-rhe could n longer hope, lt would be all or nothing. As Dr. Murray foretold the Jury returned a verdict of accidental death and congratulated Sir George on his fortunate escape. That the proceedings did not last much more than an '.lour was duo to Murray's evidence and partly to the fact that most of the Jury were as Ignorant of motor cars as they were of flying machines. 'I'he following evening lletherington war, invited to dino at the Red Cottage on Invitation ho gladly accepted for lie had already begun to wonder whether he were absolutely friendless. No one wrote ro him. no oue came to see bim. He wa. not afraid of solitude, he would have loved It had lt uot been for that dreadful shadow which instead of decreasing. Increased with each passing hour. During the day tltne he had plenty to distract him and for many weeks the business of his estate would keep htm employed. But at night, two men haunted him, a dead man and u living man! They L;ave him no rest, they robbed him of sleep. The dead man cried aloud for vengcuice, the living man mocked him: "She would look rather well as miss- tress of this place, wouldn't she?— Still, If you tako my advice you won't marry!" Hethcrington was the only guest at dinner at Ure Red Cottage; ho was grateful there were no strangers. Colonel Mellon was a soldier of Uie old school to whom Sir CJoorge found lt very easy to tall.. He suggested certain alterations and Improvements he would like to make to the Red Cottage and tbe Colonel seemed overwhelmed with surprise I am afraid I have been rather a mean beast and a bad landlord ln the past, Hethcrington smiled; I want you ro forget tbat, and ln future look upon me as a friend. Any orders you give McTurggot wlll be carried out, and I would like you and your friends to realize that you are free to flsh and shoot whenever you like, anywhere on tho estate. When Hetherlngton left, Colonel Mehon and Peggy Btood at the front door and watched the darkness swallow him up. I realized the mar. had change i when you brought him 1.. to breakfast the other morning, Peggy, but by gad —I will swear something big, I was going to say something terrible, has happened to him sines wo last met, some Blxteen years ago! The Colonel scratched his head and refilled his pipe, tien laughed; Perhaps he has fallen ln love—that will revolutionize any man! Perhaps he has, Peggy said thought fully, looking up at tlie stars.

What relation she was to him, If any, he hadn't the faintest Idea, neither had he any clue to her business, her age or her Intentions. True there was the strip of old lace and the photograph, but lt was only Imagination and sentiment which made blm connect them with the writer of the letter and '.bo sender of the telegram. Carmen! A Spanish name, but tor all that she was probably un English woman—and, If she were the original of the photograph, young and beautiful, be i ould not possibly allow her to stay at Cranby Hall alone with him, unchriperoned. Perhaps the village would not be very surprised, ho reflected bitterly, for without doubt ln the past neither his manners nor his morals had been above reproach. Ye: he argued no ordinary woman would dream of lnv-t- lng herself to pay him a visit. So at last in desperation he sent her a telegram begging her not to come as ho was on the point of starting for London himself, and would make an opportunity of calling on her. He could only address the telegram to— 'Carmen, 98, Albert Hall Mansions.' The village post-mistress peered at lt through her spectacles when he handed ln the message, and he saw her shake her head to anl fro and sigh. Hetherlngton set IiIb teeth; lt was not going to be easy to start a new 1.,.. 1 He anxiously awaited an answer, expecting one daily from the mysterious woman, but when Friday arrived without one, he began to feel worried. Perhaps Bhe had not received the wire, or intended to come ln spite of lt? If only he had some Idea of the contents of the letter he bad sent her, to which she referred! Of course, lt was possible that she way ln league with Bister and that, he would Hnd himself confronted this time with a female blackmailer. Yet her first letter rather disposed of that Idea; it had reached the Hall befero Bbter could possibly have communicated with her in London. To avoid being taken I;- surprise, Hetherlngton ordered tlie motor-car at five o'clock and started o t alone for Bordlelgh Junction. It wns tho first time he had used It since the accident. But as he passed through tho village ho overtook Dr. Murray who hailed him and asked If he could possibly give hii.i a lift.. 1 have Just had an urgent message to go over to Bordlelgh to seo a patient who Is dangerously Ul, and as luck wlll havo lt, both my horses are lame and lt 1* a case of walking or the grocer's trap. If you could take me n little way, I should feel vastly obliged nnd lt might mean the saviug of a man's life. Jump in. Hetherlngton replied at once. I have to go to the station myself and I can drop you at your pa-1 tlent's house if you will direct me. (To be Continued) Begging Off Can you direct me to the best hotel In this town? asked the stranger who, after sadly watching the train depart, hnd sot his Batchel upon tlio station platform. I can, replied the man who was waiting for a train going tho other wav, but I hate to do lt. Why? Because you will think after you've seen it that I am a liar. Lobster Palace Etlquetts A Chlcagoan unacquainted with the ways of Ner York entered one of Broadway's lobster palaces and ordered Tlchy with Ice and soft-shelled craba with tarter sau.;e. In accord with the settled customs of such places, he was not promptly served. To his expostulation lt was explained that the vlchy waa cold enough without Ice and thut soft-shelled crabs take no tartar sauce ln good society. Instead of accepting thlB with a complacent imlle, the rash man Insisted en his order*, and as a result had some unpleasantness and a fight where he should have had nothing but a long wait, bad service and a big bill The Incident Illustrates western Ignorance of the alms and ends cf the palatial taverns ln this city. Such places do not call themselves palaces without a sense of royal pride. They nre not open for the gratification of guests, but the edification ot the Inn-' keeper and his help. The proprietor ls above a captain of Industry. The chef ls a high functionary. The head waiter ls a haughty lord. The waiter ln ordinary ts by no means a subordinate. The wayfaring man that enters does so at the risk of something moro than his digestion and his private fortune. If he offends the customs of the ralaco by Insistent requests for compliance with his orders, ho is likely jo lose his patience and his dinner as wall.

It Ib no uncommon occurrence almost every fall for great quantities of apples to lie about und.r the trees to rot or to bo fed to Logs because no good market is accessible. While tte fruit is thus going to waste there are thousands of householders raorrr especially ln the prairie provinces that, are longing for fresh fruit of a sort' that can be 6tored and drawn upon during the winter months.

Dwyer began as.a reporter in Melbourne. Japan sent a warship on Invitation to Australia, said he. We were to unveil a monument In a park ln the interior of Melbourne. The Japanese sailors were to grace the occasion. Not one ot the Japanese had over been on shore there before. When the morning of the unveiling came Melbourne sent a mounted escort to Bhow the visitors the way to the park. The escort wasn't needed. At the head of the brown column marched an officer with his nose on a map, pinned to a bit of hoard. He never looked up, said Dwycr. Now aud then he'd give an order In Japanese, and the column would wheel to the left or right. Kind friends would wave their hands at tho mounted escort, marching proudly up the wrong street, and tell them they had lost the city's guests. Two or three tlme3 .that performance was repeated. Then the mounted escort gave It up ln disgust. The Japanese went to the park In the interior of the city Btraight as a pigeon files to a hole ln the barn. Afterwards Dwyer and other reporters measured the route and discovered that the Japanese, guided only hy their war map, had taken the shortest route to their destination through a strange city. Beset by Awful Dangers Our friend Tom recently married. His bride, being from tho Pacific coaBt where thunderstorms are rare and gentle, became terrified when a genuine eastern rip-roarer broke loose, and she sought safety ln a closet. Presently came.a scream from her (-place of refuge. What's the matter? inquired her husband?

Reviving the Frozen Professor Bakhmctleft, of MoEJOW University, has proved that animals may be frozen alive and then resuscitated without the slightest harm.

Butterflies were enclosed in a vessel containing air at a temperature of minus 23 degrees centigrade.j The body fluid., immediately froze hard, all vital actions ceased, and In ordinary phi :- eology, th, butterflies were frorsen to death.

We may smile at a notion so crude. Two hundred years ago, and more, South American Indians began relieving the pangs of Indigestion by eating the stomachs of ostriches. Wo may Imagine them removing from those organs any resldum of nails, or door- mob-, which might remain there. For i long time this rude remedy wus laughed at by Spanlaids and English-' men. Today, throughout the world, pepsin takes Its piece among the trustworthy resources of pharmacy and this pepsin ls prepared from the stomachs, not of ostriches, but of swine—bravely competitive with os- triches In feats of digestion. Nutrition, which follow,, upon digestion, seems to Cepend upon the thyr- rld gland, conspicuous ln the human hroat as Adam's apple. When one rf the lower animals suffers the removal of Its thyroid gland, nutrition ls at ence seriously disturbed. If the iioor brute under experiment has pieces of fresh gland grafted brmeath ts skin, tha derangement of nutrition rs forthwith cheeked. An extract from such a gland sei—es lust as well. A singular fact is that thyroid glands in healthy and mature animals contain more lodino than does any other tissue; and the activity of a gland as a remedy is In proportion to the iodine It contans. Why, nobody knows as yet. But knowledge, though incomplete, may have great value as far as it goes. In some parts of Europe, especially In Switzerland and Northern Italy, the deformity known as cretin- Ism, afflicts wide districts. This and allied diseases of imperfect nutrition are accompanied by thyroid glands either withered or undeveloped. In such cases welcome relief follows upon the administration of thyroid ex- ract; Its particles seem to liy to the places whei-o they find similar* particles, much as iron filings speed to the magnet swayed above them. 9H\SS R!at)*39tl\ij^)]jnnv9(.9,.t<"!t<* *,«.■»» siclans.

THE 'REDBEARDB' Brlgandace In Northern Manchuria Commercial conditions ln North Manchuria during the year 1918, have been far trom satisfactory, says Mr. Mr. A. B. Eastes, the British Acting Consul at Harbin, ln his report for 1013. Even at this great distance from the centres of the Chinese revolution which broke out in the autumn of 1911, he says. Its effects hare been manifested ln lessening the already sufficiently vague and shadowy authority exercised by Chinese official* dom over the population. A direct incentive was thus given to lawless acts of brigandage, and large numbers swelled the ranks of the redoubtable Hunghutzu or red beards who Infested the countryside and made a prosperous livelihood by means of rapine and the holding for ransom of i rsons and property. Such terror Cld these men exercise that carriers refused to face the risk of the road unless very highly paid, and the prices commanded for C-e hire of their services and vehicles rose to one hundred and fifty per cent ln excess of the nominal figure. The nntural result was that far smaller quantities of cereals were obtainable than had been anticipated, and the local prices rose to an almost prohibitive scale—from $15 to (20 per ton; failures were not Infrequent, and the noro substantial merchants were in many cases only able to load the vessels chartered to fulfil their] forward contracts at a 3orlous loss. Instead of the anticipated large increase ln the exports of soya beans during the year 1012, for the haulage of which the Chinese Eastern Rallway had made elaborate preparations, tho value of exports of this commodity (.was actually only some 77 per cent, of the figures reached in 1911. Prior to the end of 1912 the Chinese took no steps to cope with the state of affairs; It ls, however, satisfactory to be able to report that at the time of writing (April, 1913) efficient military measures of repression have been carried out.^nd In the chief producing centres within 100 miles radius of Harbin order and safety to life and property hrve been restored.

Then the skipper turned to the pale-faced bishop, who was t atching the result of the experiment My lord, my lord, Bald he, In a terrified undertone; what am 1 to do? It my men won't obey me, we must all go to the bottom. Well, said the bishop, slowly and reluctantly, under the circumstances —I think you may—swear a little. No sooner said than done; a volley of oaths sent Jack, Bill and Harry aloft, and about as quick as lightning sails were furled, ropes colled, and no more warnings against the sin of profanity were heard during that voyage at least.

Some people have rather peculiar ideas concerning gypsies. First of all let mo say that all gypsies are not dark. As I visit the vnrlous camps during mission work I find hundreds of fair gypsies.

The Romany girl ls betrothed at the age ef fourteen, but at least two yenrs must elapse ere marriage shall take place. Tills is not a time of courtship, tho betrothed must treat each other as ordinary acuuatutances or tho niaich is broken off. Tho marriage would usually take place In a secluded forest glen. A long hazel branch ls brought, tho pair step over the'branch, aud are then acclaimed 'rawny' and 'rye,' which means man and wife. Superstition lies deep tn the heart of the gyps'es, and by tho stars they forecast many happenings. When tho head of the tribe dies the caravan, clothes, etc, are burned and tie ashes scattered over tho grave. While a building waa in process of construction two of tho tillers became engaged in a violent quarrel. So violent was It that the police wero called ln and tho offenders taken before a magistrate. Both of the men were sober and industrious and good workmen; this, according to the testimony of the foreman in charge of their work who had followed In hopes ot being able to Intercede for them.

When at last twilight bade them return, Hetherlngton realized that Pctgy Mehon had helped him to pick up the tiircade of his life. This wos something Le had done before! Perhaps a long time ago—for his enjoyment was so keen. Once when they came to an almost Impossible piece of ground, where the river was divided by an Island, Hethcrington caught Pcg„y up ln his arms and waded across with her. And afterwards —love had shaken him as fear had never doue—strands of the copper colored hair had blown across his face, rosy sun kissed checks had been terribly close to his lips _nd the temptation to cove them with kisses and to confess bis love and the secret of his unknown life had becu almost overwhelming. Perhaps Peggy read the passion in his eyes, for when he put her down she pretendeu to be annoyed. Very few words passed between them as tbey made their way back to the bridge. Hetherlngton dared not trust himself to speak and Peggy was suddenly shy. On their way to the Red Cottage, they met Dr. Murray who asked If ho might walk back with Hetherlngton to the Hall. I have Just heard that tha Inquest on your chauffeu- ls fixed for to-morrow, he said as soon as they were alone; of course there is no question as to the cauh-r of his death—tho cause of the accident seems a sort of mystery. Your mind ls still a blank as to what happened? Absolutely, Hetherlngton replied. Do you know, doctor, I would willingly give half my fortune lt the blank could be filled up. I suppose In your experience you 'mve come across the '-ase of a man entirely losing his memory, the result of an accident or shock? Is there any means to hasten shall we sny, the return of memory— an operation for example? That depends on the nature of the accident. If lt was the result of a blow ot. the skull which left a portion of bone pressing on the brain, an operation might certainly be successful. You don't think ln your case—? 1 was only wondering, Hetherlngton Interrupted, the Jury may suspect me to-morrow when it finds I can give no account whatever of what happened up there on tho moorland. Oh, you will remember enough to satisfy the coroner, Murray laughed. Yon certainly got .. nasty crack and vou ought to be careful for a little while. ' Hetherlngton said no more. But the Idea took possession of him—if the worst happened, if memory never returned and if he were always haunted with the belief that he was a murderer —if that stood, as ho knew It would, - barrier between him and the woman ho bad already learned to lo*'e, a surgeon's kulfo might open up tlio past and show htm who and what lu really wns! But he recoiled from that Idea. Whi'.o he was Ignorant he could at least hope—and love. When he knew-r-he could n. longer hope, lt would be nil or nothing. As Dr. Murray foretold the Jury returned a verdict of accidental death and congratulated Sir George on his fortunate escape. That the proceedings did not last much more than an hour was due to Murray's evidence nnd partly to the fact that most of tlie jury were as Ignorant of motor cars ar; they were of flying machines. The following evening lletherington was invited ro dine at the Red Cottage nu Invitation ho gladly accepted for he had already begun to wonder whether he wore absolutely friendless. No one wrote to him, uo oue came to see him. He wa- no', afraid of solitude, he would have loved lt had lt not been for tbat dreadful shadow which lns'.'Sad of decreasing. Increased with each passing hour. During th? day time he had plenty to distract him and for many weeks tho business of hla estate would keep him employed. But at night, two men haunted him. a dead man and a living man! They Lave him no rest, they robbed him of sleep. Tho dead man cried aloud for vengt trice, the living man mocked him: "She would look rather well as mlss- of this place, wouldn't she?— tress still, If you take my advice you won't marry r- Hethcrington was tho only guest at dinner at tho Red Cottage; he was grateful thti'e were no strangers. Colonel Mehon was a soldier of tlie old school to whom Sir George found lt very easy to tall.. Ho suggested certain alterations and lniprovomeuts he would llko to make to lhe Ited Cottage and the Colonel seemed overwhelmed with surprlss. 1 am afraid I have been rather a moan beast and a bad landlord ln the past, Helherington smiled; I want you ro forget that, and In future look upon me as a fileud. Any orders you giv- McTurggot will be carried out, and would like you and your friends to realize that you are free to fish and shoot whenever you like, anywhere on the estate. When Hetherlngton left, Colonel Mehon and Peggy stood at the front door and watched the darkness swallow him up. 1 realized the mar. had chaag' 1 when you brought him 1. to breakfast the other morning, Peggy, but by gad —I will swear something big, I was going to say something terrible, has happened to him sinco we last met, some sixteen yearB ago!

CATtMEN Lobster Palacs Etiquette A Chlcagoan unacquainted with the ways of Nev York entered ono of Broadway's lobster palaces and ordered vlchy with Ice and soft-shelled crabs with tarter sauue. In accord with the settled customs of such places, he was not promptly served. To his expostulation lt was explained that the vlchy was cold enough without Ice and that soft-shelled crabs take no tartar sauce ln good society. Instead of accepting this with a complacent smile, the rash man Insisted en his order, and as a result had some unpleasantness and a fight where he should have had nothing but a long welt, bad service and a big bill The Incident Illustrates western Ignorance of the alms and ends of the palatial taverns ln this city. Such places do not call themselves palaces without a sense of royal pride. They are not opeu for the gratification of guests, but the edification of the Innkeeper and his help. The proprietor ls above a captaiu ot industry. The chef is a high functionary. The head waiter ls a haughty lord. The waiter ln ordinary Is by no means a subordinate. The wayfaring man that enters does bo at the risk of something moro than his digestion and his private fortune. If he offends tho customs of the palace by Insistent requests for compliance with his orders, he ls likely x> lose bis patience and his dinner as wall.

What relation Bhe was to him, If any, he hadn't tbe faintest Idea, neither had he any clue to her business, her age or her Intentions. True there was the strip of old lace and the photograph, but lt was only Imagination and sentiment which made him connrrct them with the writer of the letter and '.ho sender of the telegram. Carmen! A Spanish name, but for all that she was probably ui English womnn—and, If she were tho original of the photograph, young and beautiful, he i ould not possibly allow her to stay at Cranby Hall alone with him, unchaperoned. Perhaps the tillage would not be very surprised, he reflected bitterly, for without doubt in the past neither his manners nor his morals had been above reproach. Ye*, he argued no ordinary woman would dream of lnv-t- lug herself to pay him a visit. So at last ln desperation he sent Iict a telegram begging her not to come as ho was on the point of Btartlng for London himself, and would „iake an opportunity of calling on her. He could only address the telegram to— 'Carmen, 99, Albert Hall Mansions.' The village post-mistress peered at it through her spectacles when he handed ln the message, and he saw her shako her head to eal fro and sigh. Hetherlngton set hie teeth; lt was not going to be easy to Btart a new fur. I He anxiously awaited an answer, expecting one daily from the mysterious woman, but when Friday arrived without one, he began to feel worried. Perhaps she had not received the wire, or Intended to come ln spite of tt? If only he had some Idea of the contentt, of the letter he had sent her, to which she referred! Of course, It was possible that she way ln league with Bister and that he would find himself confronted this time with a female blackmailer. Yet her first letter rather disposed ot that idea; It had reached the Hall before Bister could possibly have communicated with her in London. To avoid being taken I; surprise, Hetherlngton ordered the motor-car at five o'clock and started o t alone for Bordlelgh Junction. It was the first time he had used It Blnce the accident. But as he passed through lhe village he overtook Dr. Murray who hailed him and asked If he could possibly give hlu a lift.. 1 have Just had an urgent message to go over to Bordlelgh to Bee a patient who ls dangerously Ul, and as luck will havo lt, both my horses are lame and lt 1 a case of walking or the grocer's trap.

Robert Henri, the artist, was talking at the annual exhibition of the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts about certain old masters. Take for Instance, he said, 'Morland.'

A jenlus In Mosaics There recer. ly died at Ivry. a suburb of Paris, a remarkable old man named Fralssnrd, who, lt ls claimed, could have been one ot the world's most famous sculptors, If he had so desired, but who, instead, lived in a quiet, unpretentious way and finished lite as he began lt, with very little In the way of this --orld's goods. When a boy, Mr. Fralssard was apprenticed to n marble-cutter, says the London News. For 60 years he continued to execute the most beautiful works of art; mostly ln mosaics. It ls claimed that every pleco of work ho did was a masterpiece, and the two rooms In which he lived contain a wonderful collection of beautiful objects. One is a black marble table with chessboard ln uiyx, and Borne cups, glasses and bottles. So delicate ls the workmanship that the saucers nre transparent Eight years were occuiled In the fashioning of this pleco of work. M. Fralssard's masterpiece took him nearly three times as long It Is a black marble table. In the middle Ib a chessboard, on either side of which are playing care arranged ns fans. On the table are dominoes and dice, cigars and cigarettes and several coins In gold and Bilver. All these are, of course, Inlaid. The materials ln the table besides tire black marble, are agate, onyx, porphry, malchlte and lapis lazuli, the tones of which are black, red, orange, blue and white. Ninety different kinds of marble were also used. In the old man's lodgings tliere arc dozens of mosaics, opal cups,"chandeliers and inkstands, inlaid ill all sorts of stones. Fifty years ot overwork, however, brought on a paralytic tmie.- tire, and for two years ho had been helpless. He would never part with any of his works, no matter what price was offered him.

The Japanese sailors were to grace the rccasion. Not one ot the Japanese had over been on Bhore there before. When the morning of the unveiling came Melbourne sent a mounted escort to show the visitors the way to the park. The escort wasn't needed. At the head of the brown column marched an officer with his noBe on a map, pinned to a bit of board. He never looked up, said Dwyer. Now and then he'd give an order In Japanese, and the column would wheel to the left or right. Kind friends would wave their hands at the mounted escort, marching proudly up the wrong street, and tell them they had lost the city'B guests. Two or three times .that performance was repeated. Then the mounted escort gave it up in disgust. The Japanese went to the parlc In tho In* terior of the city straight as a pigeon Ille3 to a hole ln the barn. Afterwards Dwyer and other reporters measured the route and discovered that the Japanese, guided only hy their war map, had taken the shortest route to their destination through a strange city.

Professor Bakhmetieff Boon discovered, however, that by slow and careful warming they couldjie restored to life at any tlmo before the body temperature had fallen below minus 10 degrees centigrade. Further tes Bhowed that when the resuscitation process waB begun at a body temperature of minus 4 1-2 degrees centigrade recovery was quickest and most com-., plete, The next stage was the repetition of tlio experiment on warm-blooded animals and en mammals.

Keep the change however. And he went away. Casting Shadows Before South Sea Islanders, ln Captain Cook's day, believed that when they fed on an enemy his courage found Its way Into their hearts. We may smile at sr notion so crude. Two hundred years ago, and more. South American Indians began relieving the pangs of indigestion by eating the stomachs of ostriches. Wo may imagine them removing from those organs any resldum of nails, or door- mob.., which might remain there. For i long time this rude remedy was. laughed at by Spaniards and English*' men. Today, throughout the world, pepsin takes Its piece among the rrustworthy resources of pharmacy and this pepsin ls prepared from the stomachs, not of ostriches, but of swine—bravely competitive with os- riches ln feats of digestion. Nutrition, which follows upon digestion, seems to Oopend upon the thyr- rid gland, conspicuous in tho human hroat as Adam's apple. When one if the lower animals Buffers the removal of Its thyroid gland, nutrition ls .it ence seriously disturbed. If the iioor brute under experiment has ,ieces of fresh gland grafted brrneath ts skin, tha derangement ot nutrition Is forthwith checked. An extract from such a gland ser-es just as well. A singular fact Is that thyroid glands in healthy and mature animals contain more lodino tban does any other tissue; and the activity of a gland as a remedy Is in proportion to the iodine it contans. Why, nobody knows as yet. But knowledge, though Incomplete, may have great value as far as it goes. In some parts of Europe, especially ln Switzerland and Northern Italy, the deformity known as cretinism, afflicts wide districts. This and allied diseases of imperfect nutrition are accompanied by thyroid glands either withered or undeveloped. In such cases welcome rcHof follows upon the administration of thyroid extract; its particles seem to fly to the places where they find similar- particles, much as iron filings speed to the magnet swayed above them. Other glands, ln elaborate tests, are proving to be equally helpful to physicians. Take, for example, those borne immediately abov: the kidney. They yield a preparation called adrenalin. This powerfully closes the smaller blood-vessels, so that lt arrests bleeding, which unchecked, might threaten death. Its uses are goldtn in many seveio surgical operations. Thus from a quartrrr unlmag- ined twenty years ago disease confronts a new foe. and health finds a faithful defender Happy Speech A birthday gift was given to a wife by her husband and three children. The youngest, a little ten-year-old, was appointed to make the speech of presentation.

THE 'REDBEARDB' Brlgandac* In Northern Manchuria Commercial conditions In North Manchuria during tba year 191J, hav* been far from satisfactory, says Mr. Mr. A, B. Eastes, tha British Acting Consul at Harbin, ln his report for 1912. Even at this great distance from the centres of tbe Chinese revolution which broke out ln the autumn of 1911, hs says, its effects have been manifested In lessening ths already sufficiently vague and shadowy au-| thorlty exercised by Chines* officialdom over the population. A direst incentive was thus given to lawless acta of brigandage, and large numbers swelled the ranks of the redoubtable Hunghutzu or red beards who Infested the countryside and made a prosperous livelihood by means of rapine and the holding for ransom of p.-rsons and property. Such terror did tiese men exercise that carriers refused to face the risk of the road unless very highly paid, and the prices commanded for t'-e hire ot their services and vehicles rose to one hundred and fifty per cent ln excess of the nominal figure*. The natural result -was that far smaller quantities of cereals were obtainable than had been anticipated, and the local prices rose to an almost prohibitive scale—from JIB to $20 per ton; failures were not Infrequent, and the nore substantial merchants were ln many cases only able to load the vessels chartered to fulfil their forward contracts at a serious loss. Iustead of the anticipated large increase In the exports of soya beans during the year 1912, for the haulage of which the Chinese Eastern Railway had made elaborate preparations, tho value of exportB of this commodity was actually only some 77 per cent, of the figures reached ln 1911. Prior to the end of 1912 tho Chinese took no steps to cope with the state of affairs; it ls, however, satisfactory to be able to report that at the time of writing (April, 1913) efficient military measures of repression have been carried ont,*nd in the chief producing centres within 100 miles radius of Harbin order and safety to life and property heve been restored. womenIeejT asafe tonic And There is Nothing Better Than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills fer Toning Up the Blood It Is said that woman's work ls never done, and it ls a fact that whether in society or ln the home her life is filled with moro cares and more worries than falls to the lot of man. For this reason women are compelled regretfully to watch the growing pallor ot their cheeks, the coming of wrinkles and the thinness that becomes more distressing every day. Every woman I knows that ill health and worry ls 11 fatal enemy to beauty, and that good] health gives the plainest face au en*. during attractiveness. What women fail to realize is the ] fact that if the blood supply ls kept rich and pure, the day of the coming of wrinkles, and pallor, dull eyes and sharp headaclus lo immeasurably postponed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are literally worth their weight in gold to growing girls and "women of mature years. They fill the veins with the rich, red blood that brings brightness to he eye, the glow of health to sallow cheeks, and charms away the headaches and backache that render the lives of so many women constantly miserable. Mrs. William Jones, Crow Lake, Ont., snys: "I feel tint Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life. I was so badly run down that I could hardly drag myself around. I was so bloodless that I was as pale as a sheet, and you could almost sea through my hands. In fact the doctor told me.my blood had all turned to water. I was taking medicine constantly, but without benefit. My mother had so much faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, that Bhe bought me twohoxes and urged me to take them. How 'hanktul I am that I followed her advice. Before these wnre gone I began to feel better, and I continued using the Pills until I had taken live more boxes when I was again enjoying the blessing of perfect health, with a good color In my face, a good appetite, aid I feel sure a new lease of life. I will always, you may be sure, be a warm friend of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." If you aro weak or ailing begin to cure voursclf to-day with the rich red blood'Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actti:.:iy make. If you do not find the Pills at vour dealer's send 60 cents for a box or $2 50 for six boxes to tlie Dr. Williams' Mcdlclte Co., Br-ockville, Ont, and they will be sent you by mall, post paid. 8WEAR, 8AID THE BISHOP A Sea Captain Played a Joke an a Reverend Pastenger I remember an anecdote of a bishop of Cork, who voyaging across ths Channel ln one of the sailing boats, was much shocked by the oath ot th* captain, and from reasoning and entreat-.- cam) to somewhat angry protest Ye see, my lord, said ths captain, unless I swear my meat won't obey me. Try them, urged the bishop; try them. So the skipper at last agreed to do so; but unknown to his lordship, ho arrange, a little comedy wltb tbe crow. Very soon lt cams to blow afresh. Tom, cried the captain, coll that rope. Tom never moved, but stood chewing his quid. Jack, Bill. Harry, said the skipper, just oblige me by taking ln the topsail. Not a man stirred. The wind howled more and more loudly; the vessel plunged heavily through the i waves. Then the skipper turned to the pale-faced bishop, who was \ atchlng the result of the experiment. My lord, my lord, Bald he, ln a terrified undertone; what am - to do? If my men won't obey me, wo must all go to the bottom. Well, said the bishop, slowly and reluctantly, under the circumstances —I think you may—swear a little. No sooner Bald than done; a volley of oaths sent Jack, Bill and Harry aloft, and about as quick as lightning sails were furled, ropes colled, and no more warnings against the sin of profanity were heard during that voyage at least.

Chicago Th* Gypsy and his Way of Living Real Romanies or Gypsies, are very scarce ln this country ind most of tho people who travel and pose as gypsies here are either tramps or hybrids, the result of Intermarriage of the real gypsy with other racos. Gypsies are very numerous ln England, but lt ls necessary to have a' guide if the visitors would like to see them ln their favorite haunts. Of late years, law, order and sanitary conditions have driven the Romanies into secluded nooks and forest llngles. In such places can be seen the oval roofed caravan, quite unlike the palatial conveyance of would-be Imitators or show people. Here also can be found the tents, which reminds one ot that vast throng of people, the Israelites, who lived the gipsy life and were tent dwellers. In the camp the elder gypsies can be heard speaking In ■'. strange tongue, for the real gypsy speaks the Romany language, and the parent's hearts are sad today because their offsprln'. prefer speaking ln Er.glish. Round tho 'Zog' or fire over which hangs a blackened pot, which generally contains a .rtew of rabbits and vegetables culled from tbe neighboring fields, the 'chavvles' or children anxiously watt, while a dog of the greyhound specie also waits ex- pectedly tc. be rewarded for bringing his contribution to the family larder. On the bushes hangs the family washing, while browsing on the coarse grass so familiar to Iimgllsh common land, a few horses and donkeys may be seen All these things make an int resting picture ot primitive life. Some people have rather peculiar ideas concerning gypsies. First ot all let me say that all gypsies are not dark. As I visit the various camps during mission work I find hundreds of fair gypsies. Originally the gypsies were an eastern people but like other people they have turned their feet westward and climate with other causes may havo altered them considerably. My father wa. a thor- ough gypsy, but quite fair. In the old days intermarriages with 'Gorgols house dwellers, meant expulsion for the offender from the tribe. The Romany girl ls betrothed at the age of fourteen, but at least two years must elapse ere marriage shall take place. This is not a time of courtship, the betrothed must treat each other as ordinary acquaintances or the maicii Is broken oft. The marriage would usually take place ln a secluded forost glen. A long hazel branch ls brought, tho pair step over the'branch, and are then acclaimed 'rawny' and 'rye,' which means man and wife. Superstition lies deep In tlie heart of the gyps'es, and by tho stars they forecast many happenings. When the head of the tribe dies the caravan, clothes, etc, are burned and the ashes scattered over the grave. While a building was ln process of construction two of the tillers became engaged ln a violent quarrel. So violent was lt that the police were called in and tho offenders taken before a magistrate. Both of the men wero sober and industrious and good workmen; this, according to the testimony ot the foreman in charge of their work who had followed In hopes ot being able to Intercede for them. Tho magistrate asked, in astonL1- ment, the cause ot the quarrel* It seems that one man had accused the other of stealing his coat. And I cau prove lt, too, added the man.

Why he Was DeJ-cted A well-known university professor who has taken much Interest In the woman's suffrage movement, was persuaded to carry a banner ln a parade that was held ln Now Yjrk soma months ago. His wife observed him marching with a dejected air nnd carrying his banner so that it hung limply on its standard, and later she reproved him for not making a better appearance. Why didn't you march like somebody, and let peoplo see your banner? she said. My dear, meekly replied tho professor, did you see what was on the banner? It read: Any man can Itoto. Why can't 1?

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1913 The municipal year has now entered its last quarter and it will not be out of place to devote some attention to the administration of affairs of the town during the last nine months. We shall probably be accused of bias and prejudice hy those whose views do not coincide witli ours, but at the risk of incurring some displeasure we shall exercise our right t» examine and criticise tlie regime of what we must regard as •tie feeblest aggregation that has ever represented Cumberland as its council. "By their works ye shall know them." And what are their works? To date—"Nil." No useful and badly needed new bylaws added to the city statutes and no public works tending t> the health or beautifying of the town. Not a single act of a progressive nature to signalise their year of office. Never before in the history of this town has the lack of energy and judgment in the administration of municipal affairs fceen so lamentably apparent. Taxes are woefully in arrears, while indiscreet assessments involved the city in a lawsuit which the Supreme Court decided against it, involving a loss of both dignity and cash. The police force of two men has been cut in half, but even with this enormous curtailment of expenditure, civic employees have sometimes been compelled to wait long periods for their salaries and at the time of writing are over two month*) in arrears. And it looks as though the situation in this respect will grow steadily worse. But while discussing the Council as a whole we cannot but think that the chief blame lies with the Mayor. He has had practically « unanimous council behind him and had he been possessed of the talents of an administrator of cvpii ordinary ability, he could have shown an enviable record as t1 city's chief executive. As it is, his energy seems to have been concentrated, and extinguished itself, in the closing up of the saloons at a time when.they were all empty, and in forwarding, over his own signature, a tedious epistle to the Nanaimo Free Press. If we are wrong in concluding that 1913 is to be a barren year, a year of unparalleled stagnation in our civic history, it behooveo those who enjoy the honor and privilege of representing their fellow citizens on the Council, to get busy. There is still a little time left in which they may show the electorate that they are neither pusillanimous or incompetent. It is possible that a few property-holders may be sunk into a similar apathy to that cf the City Council and desire nothiny better than the conditions they now emjoy. To snch we have little to say. But to those who cannot be satisfied with the present policy of "drift." we would say, "Remember the 31st day of October is the last day for registering on the voters list. Lose no time in securing your franchise, but call immediately at the City Clerk's office and register without delay." The introduction of a Canadian Explosives Act by the present government signalizes the carrying out of a promise made four years ago by the Laurier Government, which they never fulfilled. Time and again they announced their intention but it never reached the House of Commons. Announcement is now made that the Government will introduce at the next session of Parliament an act to reyulate the manufacture, testing, storage and importation of explosives. This will he the first Canadian explosi ve act, as the legislation existing at present is not embodied federally, but mostly exists in small provincial regulations. The possession of explosives will be prohibited unless it is an authorised explosive—that is, one which goes through the tests of the departments. According to the new act the Minister of Mines may issue licences for factories and magazines n'-d uo easplosive can be ma..ufac.ures outside these places. Macfarlane Bros.

NO MORE A B.C. New Method of Learning to Read Does Away With Alphabet Most children know Instinctively that there ia something wrong about the uninteresting and stupid alphabet It doesn't seem reasonable to them, and they hate lt* Now, lt seems they are right. v Progressive educational Btuden's have hit upon a plan to teach children to road by the new and efficient method of Bound reading, which eliminates tbe necessity o! learning the A. B.C.'s. This new method Is recognized as one of the most Important discoveries ln modern educational systems and bids fair soon to come Into general use. The whole system ot the English language ls based upon sound. Every word spoken is made up ot one or more distinct sounds. No one speaks a word without giving utterance to some of these Bounds. When we say cat we do not name the three letters, las c*a*t, but we give the sound of e j and at, blended together and get cat. The child by this niw sound-reading I method ls taught lo work out words by means of what Is known as the family group. After learning the sounds ot the consonants the child takes up different families, as the at, the an, and the ill families, and buikls words as c-at, rat, m-at, m-an, r-an, Mil, r-111, etc, adding little by little until a large vocabulary is acquired. This is tbe foundation ot tho new method of teaching known as the phonic method. The first Important thing for the child to learn ls reading, ln jrder that it may be able to gain Information for Itself. It Is therefore of the greatest Importance that the child be taught this as soon as possible. With the time-wasting alphabet, a child wa3 considered somewhat of a prodigy that could master the letters and their order at the age of Ave years. Many months were wasted by the children ln having those 26 characters Implanted In their minds. It has been demonstrated by tbe new phonic system, that children can acquire the ability to read ln much less time than by tbe old A B C method, and advancement ls much more rapid. Sounds and not names ot letters should be mastered first, for words are onlv sounds or combination of sounds. If the name cf the letter Is learned lirst, os under tbe old method, it Interferes with the appreciation of the sound element In the word and unnecessarily complicates the process of learning to read. After the child has commenced to read and has acquired a vocabulary aud the ability to recognize certain words, tire names ot the letters and spelling are introduced. The primary work, however, ls to teach the child to read, and a knowledge of the alphabet is uot necessary to accomplish this. I By the phonic method the child Is taught to recognize the word and its name as a whole. For Instance, tbe word dog is recognized, taken In and absorbed by the child as one thing In its entirely, Instead of learning the three distinct, characters of which the word is composed. It Is Just as easy for the child lo do this as to resort to the old, cumbersome method of picking out the three separate characters. Many who are teaching reading by tbe obi A B 0 method think that ls the best possible way, but the Modern Progress League has shown by actual practice tbat under the new plan children can be taught to read quite intelligently without knowing a single letter by name. One of the advocates of this system was questioned as to whether tills phonic reading would not tend to make the child a poor speller. He said: I do not believe the new method makes poor spellers. But I do think (be old system of striking out Ihe silent letters in words did affect th? spelling. On the whole, I think children read and spell much better and In a much shorted time when taught by the phonic system. STORM 8UPER1T1T10NH An Aerolite Flret a Village and Wlpte It Out of Exlatanea Th* recent terrlflo storma whloh swept over Spain baa yielded a large crop ot weird stories. Here ls ona which, haa just been received. The village ot Alcocer, near Valen* eta, has been practically wiped out and the surrounding country ravaged by an aerolite of great size. Shortly after noon there dropped from a cloudless sky a great ball ut lire. A deafening series ot detonations like a thourand rlSe shot* resounded through the atmosphere, and scattering tongues ot flame ln all Ul rectlons, the heavy mass buried ltsel! ln the earth. The Burroundlng country was set on fire, nnd within an hour nothing but blackened masses of smouldering cinders remained ot farmhouses, haylofts and gathered crops of hay, wheat and olives. Tho whole population of Alcocer was at the moment attending a requiem service ln the church, some two miles distant. But for that circumstance the loss ot life would have been terrible. As lt was Ave persons were seriously burnt, one of them succumbing to his Injuries the sam.-* evening. At the moment-the aerolite tell at Alcocer a terrific thunderstorm, which was accompanied by a rain ot slones, somo tho size ot (ranges and weighing n arly two pounds, burst over the neighboring villages i Benavltes and Cuartil. The ground was covered ln places to a depth bt five Inches by these stones. A pungent odor of sulphur pervaded the locality for hours after the phenomenon. Relieves Asthma at Little Expense, Thousands of dollars hnve been vainly spent upon remedies for asthma and seldom. If ever, with any relief. Dr. ,T. D. Kellogg's Asthma Remedy, despite Its assurance of benefit, costs so little that lt Is within reach of all. It Is the national remedy for asthma, tar removed from the class of doubtful and experimental preparations. Your dealer can supply It. Maxims for the Married Never both be angry at the same time. Never taunt (villi past error. Never allow a request to be repeated. Never meet without a loving welcome. Let self-denial be the dally practice ot each. Neglect everyone else, even tho whole world, rather than each other. Never let the sun go down upon thy grievance. Never spr*ak loudly to each other, unless the house is on nre. Never make a remark at the other's expense—It ls a meanness. Never fuss over what might havo been, but male the most of what is. Never part for the day without a loving or gentle word to think of dur Ing absence. Never mind fault unless lt 13 perfectly certain a fault has IreCn committed, and always speak lovingly. Austria and Toronte Exhibition Th* Introduction ol a steamship strvloe between Canada and Austria by the Canadian PacUe Railway Company haa already demonstrated IU usefulness ln bringing tbe two conn- tries Into closer tiuch with each other and tha Inauguration ot Observation cars on tbe Government railways ot that country was tha Initial step towards cementing ths people together. This excellent work hts been th« means of arousing the enthusiasm and Interest ot the Austrian Government to a greater degree ln an Industrial direction, the natural and Industrial wealth of tha Dominion of Canada appealing to this section of Austria. With a view to the future development ot Important Industries ln Canada, the Austrian Government got Into touch with thejiromoters of the forthcoming exhibition at Toronto and through these offices one of the principal exhibits at this annual show wlll be that of the Austrian Government, which will occupy two hundred yards ot space. It wlll be typical ot Austria In ^very detail and over fifty firms, employing an aggregate ot nearly, ono hundred thousand people, will be showing their various manufactures, which 19 further evidence of the desire of the Austrian Government to get Into closer relationship with this great country of ours. Mlnard's Liniment Cures Dljtemp.it> How Rockoftller Got His Start When I was ten years old I had succeeded ln earning some money. It was |60. I loaned lt to a neighbor at 7 per cent. Interest. In a year the mon-jy earned me $3.CO. From that time onward I determined to make money work for me. So writes John Davison Rockefeller who began to make a living nlmost as soon as he could work. At 10 he was earning 37 cents a day hoeing a ne'ghbor'a potato fields. In 1853, when be was 14, he ieft his Tioga County, N.Y., blrtliplaco for Cleveland. There he got a J -*b as offlci. boy. Later he became a clerk; then cashier and bookkeeper for a mercantile bouse. He and two frieuds managed tu borrow enough money to take hold of a petrol cum refinery. Rockfcl-er saw wonderful possibilities in oil and he reached out for one refinery after another, until ln 1861 he was able to organize the Standard Oil Co. Six years later tho Standard Oil Trust was formed and Rockefeller was on the way to fabulous fortune. Ho had a genius for borrowing. Indeed, his start was made on borrowed capital plus genius. He ls said to have been worth less than 51,000 In his own right when he was 80. But the borrowed money worked for him until thero was no further need to borrow.

Now the Inventive bra.n of a German has conceived and put into successful operation an ingenious device which will probably do away with the old apparatus for diving. By this method lhe diver carries on his ba'rk two Btecl bottles con- talnlng highly compressed oxygen. Another cylinder contains chemicals for absorbing the carbonic ncitl exhaled from the lungs. A system of piping carries all lie Impure nir breathed out to a chamber containing the absorbing chemical, ln th *r oompnrtmeht tho deadly carbonic acid grin is entirely eliminated, A small amount of oxygen, Just enough to renew the air, is added to the changed and regenerated exhalations and passed on to a compartment in tho helmet, where It. can be inhaled through the noso or mouth, Hy this system the vitiated a,r Is continually being niutle over Into new. It ls thought this device will do away with the accidents and sometimes loss of life which have occasionally happened through defects in the diving hose or pumping apparatus co long In use. But while the diver may carry his atmosphere, as ono does his wardrobe, along with blm, he cannot yet quite disconnect himself from the outer world, as the signal line Is still necessary for meant: of communication. Mlnard's Liniment Cures Cows Garget In Women Succeed as Bankers The possibilities of banking as a career for women have beon demonstrated by Farrow's Bank for Women, which was inaugurated a couplo of years ago ln London, England, and which, managed entirely by women, proved so successful that rr was recently moved to new and enlarged quarters. The bank's success, ln the opinion of Mrs. Kate Kelly, the manageress, Is largely due to the hearty support It has received from women. In an Interview she said: The eagerness with which women of all classes and from all parts of tho empire, took up th.) idea of an institution devoted entirely to their needs was in Hself a proof lhat Farrow's novel departure was fuiniling a long-felt want. Our bank gives women the privilege of consulting one of their own sex over their business affairs. The business transacted here Is precisely the same as that transacted by any other joint stock bank, and the fact, that all our slaff consists of women is good evidence that one sex is not more gifted than the other iu accuracy and a head for figures. A feature of our establishment here Is a rendezvous room for our clients, whore they cau meet llieir friends and write letters.

"I tell yon wbat you do, captain," continued Jenkins. "Tow It" Tb* captain looked relieved. He told tb* purser to take down a Utt of tht srtlcles In tbt box .from tbt owner, wltb their value*, go tbat la case the box were lost tbe amount of claim would bt United. But bt did not want to bave this done before getting rid of the box. Bt* directed one of the crew to carry It to the upper deck, where the lifeboats were swung on tbt davits, and put lt In one of the lockers Intended for provisions, wedging lt so that lt would not slide about with the motion of the waves. Thlt wat done. Tbe boat wat lowered, t cable attached to ber bow, tnd tbt was suffered to drift a hundred yards astern. While this was being done the captain gave orders tbat what was ln tbe boat, or rather what was supposed to be ln tbe boat, be confined to thos* Wbo were ln tbe baggage room when the matter was discussed. He did not consider that t bomb t hundred yards away from tb* ship could endanger her. The Tartaric sighted Fire Island on tbe fourth day out Bhe was twelve knots east of Montuuk point Just before daylight on tbe morning of tbe fifth day. A man stood on tbe after deck of the ship, where tho cable that towed the lifeboat was attached. Be tied loosely to the rope a pair of oars, which drifted back to tho lifeboat Then be fixed to tbe rope a clutch with handles like those of t pair of tinner's shears. Grasping tho handles, he swung blm- self off the stern and let himself down ■lowly till be reached the water. Tbe pressure against him exerted by the headway of tbe ship was so great tbat he would not bave been able to maintain bis bold bad It not been for this clutch. By Its nse be let himself be slowly forced backward till he reached the lifeboat and pulled himself up by tbe cable on to Its bow. Once In the boat be cast an eye to tbe westward, where shone a light whlcb be recognized as one on Mon* tank point. Taking from tbe bow tbe oars he bad sent before blm, be put them In the boat Tben he cast off and was left astern. As the dark body ef tbe Tartaric grew darker In tbe distance he smiled and raised his hat to ber. "Goodby, my friends," be said. "I think I can now get on without your valuable assistance." Taking the box from tbe locker Is which lt had been placed, he ripped It open with a screwdriver he drew from bis pocket took out a clock, which he threw overboard, nnd a small package, wblch he concealed In a pocket of his flannel shirt. Then, beginning to shiver with tbe cold, be took up the oars and pulled for tbe light on Montnuk point By thla time a streak of gray light appeared ln tbe east end, ln due time Ibe sun came up, but tbe man ln tbe boat did not need Its warmth to dry bis clotbes, for the beat of his body, kept up by the exercise of rowing, had llrcady done that. He was making (low progress, for one man pulling on lo large a boat could not move It rapidly. Bowever, by 0 o'clock ln the morn* 'ing he was but half a dozen iillies from Pie Long Island coast, snd, a motor koat passing blm, he made a bargain with the man running ber to take blm ■shore. Once on terra firms, leaving his boat hauled up on a beach, he started Inland till he came to a town, where he blred a horse and buggy to carry him to the northern coast of the Island. Tbere he chartered a motorhoat to take blm across tbe sound to Suybrook, whero be boarded a Long Island east- bound train for Boston. Arriving tbere ln the afternoon, he purchased clothing and, dropping Into a diamond dealer's, took from his pocket the package he had taken from the box supposed to contain tbo Infernal machine, unrolled lt and displayed a dozen enormous diamonds. Before leaving the shop he sold a number of tbem to the denier and early tbe next morning parted with tbo rest of bis stock, realizing n handsome profit between what the stones bad originally cost him at tbe diamond mines and what he received for them. He bnd reached the end of a series of brilliant Impostures to defraud tho customs. On the morning of the dny the Tartaric arrived tn port an officer announced to the captain that tbe lifeboat astern wns missing. The captain, surprised, asked If the owner of tbe box had been notified, and, on being told tbat be bad not, a steward was sent to find blm. Later the messenger returned to say that Mr. Jenkins was missing. Tbe captain looked astonish* ed; tben t light broke In upon his brain. "A smuggling dodge!" he exclaimed. "Keep It from the Inspectors." Before the Tartaric sailed again her captain had been notified that a lifeboat wilb Ms ship's nnme on the bow was lying on a beach on the eastern tnd of Lone Island. Be gave orders to have It shipped by wnter to New York, but asked no questions as to bow lt came ther*. / d Oxford Bible*.

Not many days after a courtier arrived wltb favorable dispatches, favorable In the main, but reporting ene tragical occurrence on a email tcale that to Napoleon outweighed the public prosperity.

Be felt certain that Italy was lost, and Napoleon was Inconsolable. But what possible connection, lt was asked, can exist between this vessel on the Nile and a remote peninsula of southern Europe!

Frledmann, a German traveler and historian recently returned from the Kongo, tbere Is a tribe of natives down ln one of tbe Interior parts of that region actually ao stuffed all of the time with food, three or four times as much as they have any need of, that they are continually ln a dull and almost unintelligent stupor. They do little besides sleep snd eat They are too laxy to do any individual hunting, and lt ls the disliked nnd unpopular member of tbe family tbat It forced to do the food providing for tbe relatives. The women are quite aa lazy as the men and work only when lt lit absolutely necessary to eat The only time wben the natives rouso themselves Is at marriage or at death. Both of these occasions are celebrated by eating more than on ordinary occasions even, and the after effects of both event* are often disastrous, as one or two ot tbe party are sure to eat so much as to be seriously and often fatally tick, which only means another celebration of a different kind. The few missionaries who bave penetrated tbe Interior sufficiently far to meet with these tribes own to their being practically hopeless as far aa any regenerating la concerned.

China wns confronted with a stilt •problem at tbe introduction of tbe telegraph. It was hopeless to llilnk of combining tbe western Morse dots nnd dashes ln sufficient variety to express Ihe 3,000 or 4,000 characters used by I fairly literate Chinese, not to speak of the entire -10,000 or so known to the highly educated men of tbnt race. A pbonetlc system wns barred by the fact tbat tbe same Cbincse monosyllable means different things, nccordln; to the context or Intonation nnd also by the diversity of dialects. A Dane, Professor Schellerup, found the solution. Tbo 7,000 characters most commonly used aro given tbelr equivalents tn I code of numerals and theso numerals are telegraphed. Thus, "cash" In the code is 0,030. If any one wanted to telegraph the number 0,0110 Itself he would scud tbe code equivalents of the words "six," "thousnud" and thirty." Animals and Earthquakes. One of tbe mysteries sf111 unsolved Is that of tbe sense by which the low* er animals become aware of (he approach of earthquakes. For threo or four days before a series of earthquakes at Guadalajara, Mexico, ths many parrots of the city showed great and unusual restlessness, und during the period of disturbance tbe Increased cries of tbe birds gave warning of tbe nearness of tbe worst shocks. Rats also, became alarmed, fleeing from the city before the earthquakes came. Superscnsltlveness to faint shocks hardly give satisfactory -explanation, for modern seismographs are very sensitive, and lt Is quite linllUel.v tbnt tremors too slight to be recorded would be felt so strongly as to give alarm. • v Deep Wells In China.

In tlila nge of unique vocations per* baps tbat of "hotel hostess" Is about (bo most original nnd new. Tiie Idea ol having; a womnn to preside over a fluoi devoted entirely to the accommodation of feminine guests Is being very successfully tried In a Urge now hotel It New York city. Mrs. Lois Pierce Hughes, n gentlewoman having much social experience) Is the choice of the hotel management; and a happy one it Is proving not onlj for the women stopping at the hostelry, but for many of the men as well. Mrs. Hughes has a charming Hull ollice, where she Is to bo found ev'prj dny ready to answer the thousand nud one questions that come up In tier line of work. She is a clubwoman nud Is fn touch with women's clubs ull ovm the country. Mrs. Hughes knows all that Is going on at tho theaters, will see i-> the purchasing of tickets nnd furnishes a maid or companion to conduct women traveling alouo to tbe theater If desired. This hotel hostess tins gradually found out what seem to be tlie needs of tbe woman traveler and has facilities for supplying them In ths best ways, sucb as arranging day trips to various sightseeing points, supplying guides, expert (shoppers, nurses and packers—In short, almost anything that ls asked for from reference books to tho latest fashions. Tbe men stopping at the hotel havi discovered whnt a nice thing It Is to have a woman to advise with them as to how to best entertoin their visiting women friends, and Mrs. Hughes Is colled apon dally to arrange festivities for people sbo has never seen. Mrs. Hughes calls upon her women guests a short while after their arrival, bidding them welcome and offering the hospitality of the house. Just as nn.v hostess would do. and fn this way brings a note of home Into the life of the woman who is perhaps not immune from homesickness. This charming chatelaine is In dally receipt of "bread and butter letters," such as one writes to a recent bostesr after a charming visit A New Profession.

Now Miss Me- Cnlmont writes herself down as "hospital specialist nnd consultant" and has so large n list of professional engagements (hat the need of more women to take up tbe profession Is conclusively shown. Miss McCftlmoht's Idea grew out of th<> condition she met iu Iho course of her nursing work. She found hospitals where initial mistakes lu construction and equipment had enst many thotisnnds of dollars Id correct, others where lAoxcusablo omissions bad lidded hundreds of dollars monthly to tlie cost of maintenance.
