VII. No. 51 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1910 Dollae Pee Annum fE LIQUOR BY-LAW The City Fathers in their wisdom jised a new Liquor License By-law, lich, while less objectionable from the ■Midpoint of British fair-play than the h which the Mayor attempted to foist thc community, is, nevertheless, unjust lthe trade and a nuisance to the public. Iloon licenses are raised from $400 to 150 per annum, while bottle licenses re- lin at $400. Under this provision a leer can sell whiskey by the bottle at Irty cents less than a saloon and pay 150 a year less for his license. The By- ignores the fact that the bottle license lat the bottom of the growing evil of Inily drinking, and that a grocery is the ly place Avhere a proscribed drunkard |i get "booze." The By-law also ignores fact that the best class of saloon men I'our high license. If the license had |.n raised to $1,000 it might have had effect of freezing out the "dives," to great gain of the decent liquor sellers ll of the public. As it is, the 'dives" ll stand for the raise of $250 and stay jthe business, so tliat no good purpose been served. The tinkering reformers ■jiarently lost sight of the fact that the By-law would work its greatest hard- |p on the working man, for most, if not of the five-cent saloons will raise the Ice of drinks. Five-cent beer will soon I a thing of the past in Victoria; a rentable circumstance which is certain to Id to the consumption of less beer and Ire whiskey. But, there is worse be- lid. The prohibition imposed upon res- lirant keepers against selling drinks with lals after eleven o'clock at night and on Inday will deprive them of their most lofitable source of income, and will com- |l an immediate increase in the price in Already the 25-cent meal is prae- lally a thing of the past, and by charging lerything a la carte the figure is raised 35 cents. This means a heavy addi- In to the cost of living for hundreds of lople who feed in Victoria restaurants, lie logical result of thc By-law is that liges will have to be raised and that thc Ity will have to initiate the movement. then this takes place the real test of the layor's Reform Movement will be made, li his first moving of thc By-law the |ayor distinctly said that it was not a loney-making scheme, but was aimed at Je extinction of the "dives." If so, it lis utterly failed of its purpose. It has Ixed the most reputable class of saloon lepers; it has restricted a necessary pub- service; it has raised the price of leals, ancl will raise wages. The public II li? apt to cry: "From such a species reform, Good Lord deliver us." IE BUTTER-IN The Rev. Arthur O'Meara has granted interview to the Colonist, in which he |tempts to defend his conduct iii butting- on the Indian question. First of all disclaims tho intention of stirring up l-ife, which was quite unnecessary on his Irt as no one claimed that he had that tention; but to show just how little he jis able to comprehend the effect of what said upon the Indian mind The AVeek fcs to inform him that the very Indians whom "he most earnestly appealed to ■rid all resort to force and violence in tlie lertion of their rights," have, on at least occasions recently, offered violence to Iceable white settlers, and have forced them to leave the country under positive threat of taking their lives. So much for the moral influence of the exhorter! Mr. O'Meara claims that in November last,. when there was trouble with the Indians in the Skeena, he went to Ottawa for the purpose of discussing the matter with a view to averting the trouble. It is a pity that he did not stay in Ottawa, for with all respect be it said, that the chances of a peaceable settlement would be greatly increased if the Rev. Arthur O'Meara could be muzzled. It is to be regretted that he did not receive the same treatment from the Dominion as from the Provincial Government. It is all very well role for which he is fitted neither by natural endowment or training, but in which, unfortunately, he can make a good deal of trouble for the Government by playing to the gallery; although in the process he will bring little "kudos" to the Church to whicii he owes his first duty. STEWART GOLD All is not gold that glitters, even though it glitters at Stewart, and by this time the Portland Canal Miner ought to be heartily ashamed of itself for having so grossly exaggerated the character and value of the reef recently discovered in MOSES II.—A MoDEitx Lawgiver for Mr. O'Meara to attempt to justify his butting-in on thc ground that "the present situation involved a missionary problem of great and far-reaching importance." Such a claim ignores altogether the constitutional method of dealing with all such matters through the constituted authorities. Unfortunately, the closing paragraph of Mr. O'Meara's interview affords little comfort to those who believe that the Government should bc unhampered by the Church in its administration of public affairs. It will be time enough for Mr. O'Meara to take up the role of negotiator when he has been invited. As it is he poses as a self-constituted arbitrator; a that country. Now that the Dominion Government has declared that it is simply "a pyrrhotite vein in slate with some gold showing at the surface only," no condemnation can be too loud for the statement that there was a gold reef running for twenty miles through the country, free milling, and standing out like a "white" bluff. The London press, which has not a little to do in influencing British investments abroad, will be apt to regard it as a very "black" bluff. It is to bc hoped that the camp will not permanently suffer from such ill-advised boosting. Meanwhile the Colonist quotes the exaggerated reports which have appeared in the London papers and blames them for not making ' local enquiries" before publishing them. Is the Colonist aware that these reports emanated from the "local" paper—the Portland Canal Miner —ancl from the office of a well known Victoria correspondent? Is not this "local" enough? THE COMPANIES' ACT Tlie last word whicli need be said at present on the Companies' Act is contained in the excellent letter of Mr. H. W. R. Moore, whicli is to be found in the correspondence columns of tlie current issue, and in the statement of the Deputy Attorney-General, published in Thursday's Colonist. Mr. McLean says that the critics of the Act are labouring under a misconception. It is not a fact that every extra-provincial company, doing business in the Province will have to pay taxes based on the amount of capital, because all companies which have fifty per cent, of tlieir capital at* the home office are exempt except for a payment of 250, ancl this fee is not an annual tax, but covers their business operations in British Columbia for all time to come. There is little doubt that the most strenuous opposition springs, not from the bona-fide merchants of the Victoria and Vancouver Boards of Trade, but from tlie army of wild-cat promoters, whose operations will be practically killed by this measure. A MIRACLE PICTURE A remarkable picture is being exhibited in a vacant store on Fort Street. It is entitled "The Shadow of the Cross." On entering tlie room the visitor sees an ordinary picture of the Christ, standing up against the sand of the desert and the blue and pink of an eastern sky. The lights are turned out, whereupon the picture glows with a luminous light, sufficiently powerful to enable anyone to see the person sitting on the next chair. Nor does the marvel cease here; directly behind the Christ is the distinct shadow of a Cross; the cross-piece is behind the left shoulder ancl the continuation is clearly seen below the right thigh. There appears to be no explanation to the puzzle. The visitors are invited to walk behind the screen, to touch the canvas ancl to satisfy themselves that there is no trickery. The story is that the painter, Henry Hammond Ault, went back to his studio late one night to get some music, and tliat on his entrance he was startled lo see his picture lighted up. No satisfactory cause was found for this phenomenon, and he sold it, as it stood, to Mr. David Wright, a New York millionaire art collector. Mr. Wright has allowed the picture to be shown in the principal cities of the North American continent, on the understanding that 25 per cent, of the profits were paid to some deserving local charity. In the case of no deserving charity appearing, the net profits go to Mr. Wright. The Anti-Tuberculosis Society is to receive the 25 per cent, bonus in Victoria, and The Week has no hesitation in urging all its readers to see the picture next week, when it will be on exhibition. Tn the first place every visitor will come away filled with amazement and feeling sure that he has received good value for liis money, and in addition, he will know that he has contributed to tlie funds of an Association which is doing its best to rid mankind of one of its greatest scourges. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1910 : i : i At The Street Corner By THE LOUNQER My remarks with regard to the correct spelling of "Foul" Bay have given rise to considerable comment. Last week a letter was printed from a correspondent on the subject, and many people have stopped me on the street with respect to the same matter. So to settle the question once and for all to my own satisfaction, I consulted thc best authority, Capt. Walbran, and he tells me that the correct spelling is with a "u". Foul Bay was known by this name to the officers of the Hudson's Bay Company as early as 1846 on account of the rocky and shallow bottom and this name, for thc seaman's reason was adopted on the Admiralty chart of the neighbourhood by Captain Richards of H, M. S. "Plumper" in 1858, when making a second survey of Victoria harbour, the first one having been made by Captain Kellett of H.M.S. "Herald" in 1846. To show the dangerous nature of this little bay the yacht "Templar," which was brought out to Victoria on the deck of the ship "Athelstan," and then the property of Mr. Barrett- Lennard (lience Lennard Island and Templar Channel, Clayoquot) and at the time of her loss on a trading voyage, was driven on shore from her anchorage in Foul Bay, 22nd January, 1862, during a heavy south-east gale, and was totally lost. Hence Templar rock in Foul Bay, named in 1862. * * * Mr. Ian St. Clair has started the good work again ancl is devoting his mornings, and no inconsiderable part of his afternoons for the benefit of Victoria's children. Probably there is no man in the whole of the city, I might say in the whole of the Province, and I don't think that I should not be far wrong if I included the Dominion, who has so whole-heart edly set himself to develop those clean, manly qualities which are to be found in the best of our girls as well as in the best of our boys. Every child living near water ought to bc able to swim, and it is no fault of Mr. St. Clair's if they cannot. Day after day he spends his time teaching this all-important accomplishment and it is satisfactory to bc able to say that his efforts are not in vain. Crowds of children are availing themselves of his tuition and every day sees some pupil emerge into the ranks of competent water-babies. And the kids love their lessons and seem to idolise their teacher; which things are entirely right. Would that there were more men like Ian St. Clair! Beginners' classes arc held at the Gorge Park for boys at 9.30 a.m.; girls of the same class arc taken an hour later. At 11.30 pupils from the various private schools receive instruction, whilst in the afternoons the more advanced swimmers get the benefit of Mr. St. Clair's hints. It is a curious thing that with the exception of thc common or garden pig. man should be the only member of the creation which cannot swim naturally. Even the pig above-mentioned can swim, but he is apt to cut his throat in so doing. But man, the master of the world, is helpless in the water unless hc has had thc benefit of such instruction as Mr. St. Clair has been in thc habit of giving for many years. I do hope that there are no parents in Victoria who are afraid to let little Willie go into the water before he has learnt how to swim. There have been such in the past, and there may be some in the future; let's hope that there arc none in the present. * * * "O tempora, O mores"! In other words, what's thc matter with the character of the man who is responsible for the head-lines on the front sheet of the Victoria Times? The letter press in this most estimable paper informed its eager readers on Monday, July nth, that the Duke of Westminster had had a narrow escape from drowning, owing to an accident to his "hydroplane." Incidentally the Times spelt it "hyproplane," but that, I take it, was merely a typographi cal error, to which we are all subject. But the head-lines informed the public that the accident was due to the Duke's new "air-ship" capsizing Does the Times seriously think that there is any connection between a hydroplane and an aeroplane? If so, such ignorance should not long go un checked, and I will therefore take it upon myself to inform the Times that a "hydroplane" is a species of water boat. Being practically flat-bottomed, for the keel tapers to the stern and the angle formed by it is so oblique as to be hardly existent, the "hydro plane," driven by a powerful engine, is the fastest boat yet invented. It docs not rise into the air from the water in the same manner in which an "aeroplane" soars aloft after running along dry land on wheels. After all, the word "plane" only means "flat" and can be applied to things which remain on land or water, but the Times has apparently run away with the idea that anything with this termination must necessarily have reference to substances which have their habitat in the air. * * * I have often wondered why it is that in Victoria the street cars stop on the further side of a crossing instead of on the near. In the business areas of big cities it is the invariable rule that cars should stop before the crossing is reached, and this course of procedure obviates any possibility of an accident owing to cross traffic. In Victoria the reverse appears to bc the rule, and though there may be some very good reason, it has not yet penetrated my somewhat dense head. And while talking of cars I might say that it will be an occasion of great up-lifting of heart amongst the fair sex when the new cars are put on the schedule, as it is announced that the steps are low enough to accommodate those who have had so much difficulty in this connection in the past. * * * I heard a pretty little compliment paid to the Victoria Fire Department the other day. I was talking to one of the Victoria contingent who had been down to Reno, and after discussing the fight and other details of the trip the conversation came round to the subject of fire. I was com menting on the smart turn-out by our local men on Monday when the B. C. Fur Company's store was in peril, and the man I was talking to told me that he had watched a turn-out by the San Francisco brigade, who, from his account, were 'way behind our boys in point of time. I love to watch the Chief speeding down Government Street and my heart is filled with envy each time I see him. What a fascination fire has for the public! We have all seen hundreds of fires; we have all seen the brigade come rattling down the street thousands of times, and yet, like children, we all run to the curb to watch it again, once more, and a sort of thrill runs up our spine, because, when all is said and clone, it is warfare, or the preliminaries of warfare whicii we are watching: Man versus Nature. Man taking as his ally one of Nature's forces, Water, to defeat the fiercest of Nature's champions, Fire. * * * It seems to me that I am moralizing again, a bad habit in a Lounger, so I had better come back to the old routine of complaints. In a recent issue of the Colonist attention was opportunely called in thc columns devoted to "Woman's Realm" to the fact that thc public arc being largely defrauded in the matter of fruit bought by the basket. After reading the paragraph in question I took a stroll round town and gazed long and hungrily at the various baskets of fruit exposed for sale; and thc indictment holds good. In most cases the baskets arc by no means full, which means that, roughly speaking, for every half-dozen baskets sold, enough berries are left over to fill a seventh. And these things ought not so to be. It is merely another instance of "graft" on a small scale, and the individual "kick" is so slight that no one cares about registering it. A fact which also explains the reason for my existence on this JtBBttEP '* ■■■''iii^kv* :____W\ Hi •'•*>i_i_i«H _\\_mk' ____________________________________ '■'___\\r^^^Mt-'/: ■ ______ '■_____$______■■■ ' j_\ w f|n lip W__\ *^_\_$^ Jf -S !?

You can't buy a melon in town, because they havc all been "cornered" by the niggers, and they cost $7.50 per case. -*< * % My attention has been called to the fact that the local druggists have no night-bells, and that in cases of emergency it is impossible to obtain simple remedies. My informant was a lady with a large family, and twice within the past few months her eldest son has wandered vainly round the town seeking help from a druggist where no druggist was. I do not speak from personal experience, and I have no intention of staying up all night for the purpose of trotting round to all our local drug stores just to see whether I can get in or not. If the statement is false I shall have the greatest pleasure in contradicting myself next week. If it is true, and I have no reasonable doubt but that it is, there is something radically wrong vvith thc State of Denmark. On Sundays, these same drug stores open at 9 a.m. and close at 12 noon, not to re-open till 6 p.m. Now people cannot get ill to order. If a man, woman or child is going to bc taken seriously ill, he, she or it. is just as likely to be overcome at three o'clock in the afternoon as at my other time. But Heaven help any such unfortunate, because it is a sure thing that thc Victoria druggists won't. Now, it would not work a hardship on anybody if some arrangement could be arrived at amongst the local druggists. They all employ a certain number of clerks, and if they were to enter into an agreement whereby one store was to remain open during the night hours and during Sundays, the public would have a feeling of confidence which they certainly have not at present, and the drug store clerks would be mulcted in a very small amount as regards their hours off. What guarantee have I got that I shall not be taken ill in thc night, and owing to the closing of the drug stores breathe my last.

"The Man on the Box" Patrons of the Victoria Theatre who have been enjoying the splendid work of the Empress Stock Company during the last two weeks will be pleased to hear that the management have succeeded in getting thc company to remain for a further period. Next week, Monday and Tuesday, they present what is probably the most popular drama of the present time, "The Man on the Box," as played by Max Figman throughout the Coast circuit. This production will undoubtedly prove one of the greatest dramatic treats of the theatrical year. In preparing the stage version of "The Man on the Box" the dramatist followed the incidents of the book closely, but injected much that is new in thc way of characters and dialogue. New Grand Theatre Dorsch & Russell, thc Musical Railroaders, who come to the Grand next week, make music with things connected with transportation. These artists are deserving of a vast amount of credit for the manner in which their act is staged. It is seldom a vaudeville act of this particular calibre is detailed in such an artistic manner. They have given their careful attention to .the electrical and scenic effects which marks the improvement over the old style musical number so vividly that one imagines he was witnessing a production of something of far greater proportions. The curtain rises showing a railroad tower house in the mountains with natural effects, which later turn out to be productive of tuneful melodies. The musical numbers are beautifully rendered combined with excellent comedy, and true to nature scenic and artistic electrical effects, make it one of vaudeville's most distinct features. Miss Alice Mortlock, the talented little player, is too well known to Grand patrons to need a very wordy introduction. Miss Mortlock will be seen in an emotional role, "The Other Woman," a powerful and vivid drama, which is a furor of New York City. Thc little dramatic playlet is from the pen of Chas. W. Doty, and is startling and gripping from the start. Alfarretta Symonds, assisted by Ryan & Adams, offer one of the sprightliest dancing and singing numbers in vaudeville. Lew Hoffman is a skillful juggler and an extremely amusing funster. His slightest movements always convulses an audience with laughter and his juggling antics are distinctly novel and marvelous. The fifth act is Will Davis, the premier monologist of the vaudeville stage, who will bring a monologue constructed on an entirely new idea. Victoria this coming week will see sets of moving pictures that have never been seen in the world before. The first is that of the Victoria Fire Department rushing headlong down Government street to a fire, headed by Chief Davis in his automobile. The other film is a special picture of the King's funeral which has never been shown before. It was sent out from England shortly after the King's funeral but was never exhibited for some unknown reason, and will be shown for the very first time Monday afternoon at the Grand. Frohman Persuades Hare not to Retire Sir John Hare, one of the most brilliant actors in England, has decided not to retire from the stage this year as he had planned. Instead, having found what he considers ideal acting conditions, he intends to retain his place behind the footlights indefinitely. Hc has long wanted to remain the entire season in London, to appear in repertoire and to select his own plays. Learning of this, Charles Frohman invited Sir John to head his repertoire company at the Duke of York's Theatre, immediately after the holiday revival of "Peter Pan." The actor was also given the privilege of appearing in such plays as he himself chose. Shortly before sailing for America Mr. Frohman received a note from Sir John accepting the offer and thanking him for the opportunity of playing under such favorable conditions.

Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 120S Government Street, Victoria, B. C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor Modern Woman And How to Manage Her BY BOHEMIAM I cannot too quickly acquaint my readers with the fact that the above title is not my own, and that I have not thc slightest intention of writing a treatise on thc subject. My sole object in calling attention to it is to point a moral, for I can hardly hope in this case to adorn a tale; and thc moral is that Walter M. Gallichan has never looked into the eyes of Mona Lisa. The gentleman in question has written a book which bears the title at the head of this article. Thc book is a serious attempt to fathom the unfathomable, and the conclusion is that, while the author apparently knows something about the modern woman, he is, in spite of his erudition, a mere tyro in the art of managing her. His table of contents is an ambitious one, covering all the moods and tenses of the ineffable creature, who was never intended by an omniscient Creator to be managed by anyone. The piquancy of the book may be gathered from such sub-headings as: Love and the Desire to Inflict Pain —Why Women Torture their Lovers —Are Women Gentle?—Woman as a Tormenting Joy—The Tyranny of Women—The Difference between the Love of Men and Women—Man- hating Women, Real and Professed— Militant Spinsters—Why Conjugality is frequently a State of Warfare— Modern Woman's View of Wedlock —Is the Free Union a Greater Success than Marriage?—Thc British Father—The Advanced Daughter— Women in the Professions and Trades —The Social Evil—Portents of the Sex War—Sex War as a Cause of Social Dissolution —Supremacy or Equality—Can there be Peace? From the above it will be seen that Mr. Walter M. Gallichan is a courageous man, but after reading his book I am reluctantly compelled to come to the conclusion that he is one of those mortals who has rushed in where wise men, to say nothing of angels, fear to tread. He starts out with a declaration that there are two universal theories concerning woman; that she is gentle and that she is cruel. Hc declares that both are correct. Gentle by nature, cruel by inherited instinct and force of circumstances. He says that in its minor forms unkindness to a lover is a very common trait among women, but it is often employed to stimulate ardour and to test a man's devotion. "Women, who in love first blow hot and then cold by turn, are obeying a primitive instinct, although in thc highest types of cultured women thc impulse shrinks almost to thc vanishing point. Thc thoughtful woman who is as frank about her passions as she is concerning her intellectual opinions has no use for this artifice, and condemns it as a device that no longer appeals to the best types of men." One would like to know where the author found his type of cultured women, who were frank about their passions. Rut thc author probes a little deeper when he urges that "perfect love is never without fear on thc woman's side" and that "fear is a stimulant." The clement of fear, which is a part of modesty, has a physiological use—which, however, thc author fails to explain. Speaking of the gentleness of woman, thc author frankly admits that hc has never been quite able to decide whether a gentle woman is more gentle than a gentle man, but hc thinks that a woman perceives more quickly than a man when she is causing pain, and that this accounts for her frequent superiority both as a healer and as one who wounds. "If she wishes to plunge him into hell, she will do it ruthlessly, if she wishes to lift you into the seventh heaven she will raise you by a sweet exercise of her intuition and gentleness. A woman can be more like an angel than a man; she can also prove more like a fiend." The author then passes to a consideration of the sex relations, a subject which has been very extensively dealt with in certain text books common on our book-stalls during the last few years. He adds nothing to the fund of information which all experienced persons possess, but he puts in the usual plea of would-be reformers for more plain speaking on the part of parents and teachers; a plea which I have never yet been able to support. Perhaps it is only fair to let the author speak for himself in one paragraph, which, at least, possesses the merit of lucidity. "In regard to sex we are in a most unwholesome and diseased state of mind, and until our minds are purged from the twin evils of prudery and coarseness, moral reform is impossible in that great field of thought and action controlled by the sex-impulse. We need to substitute clean plain-speaking for the sly whisper, the unclean joke and the indecent snigger." This modern man, who so thoroughly understands modern women, undertakes to deal with the emotional element and while he declares that women are the strong supporters of the clerical system and thc best friends of the priest, goes on to say that from St. Paul downwards the teaching of the Church has not tended to uplift the status of women, and in many directions that teaching has very seriously hindered the idea of sex-quality, and a sane association of the sexes. His view is that a realization of sex-quality is of more importance than the salvation of the soul; or perhaps, it would be more correct to say that he considers the latter to be contingent upon the former, a conclusion on which there is still very considerable difference of opinion. Tt is possible that the author has no intention of being cynical when he declares that "Women cheated of the chance of love turn naturally to religion as a solace and an outlet." It is impossible to suppose that an intelligent, educated man knows so little of his subject as to be ignorant of the fact that religion is a necessary part of every woman's life, and that no such characterisation as he suggests is possible. The book then passes to a consideration of the duel in love, based upon sex differentiation, and strange to say, that, while throughout his book the author too obviously accords to woman an inferior position, he admits that "woman is not incapable of a noble, fervent and constant affection, and that sometimes she is as romantic and reckless in her love as man." The chapters which deal with conjugal relations are unsuitable for comment, except that the author falls in line with modern writers, who, in increasing numbers, proclaim that the coldness of women is one of the principal causes of conjugal unhappiness, and that its increase lies at thc root of race suicide: Then thc practical purpose of thc thc book begins to dawn upon tht: reader. It is a plea for sex-equality in legislation; the opening of every avenue which the professions and business afford to woman; the abolition of the social and legal disabilities under which she labours. Hc declares that the present is thc era of man-contemning, man-hating woman. In most cases it takes the form of a protest against life in genera! with man as thc scape-goat for all that is amiss in the status of women. Hc puts in a pica for a very wide relaxation of the marriage law, with greater facility for divorce. His own words are: "Marriage in thc future will be more attractive to celibates than it is today. The contract will not be cruel in compelling people who havc ceased to love to live together. There will be facilities for complete and honourable separation, with no hindrance to a second union."

This opinion is in line with that of many eminent men who have been, and still are, giving evidence before the Divorce Commission, and the latest to endorse the proposition is Canon Henson. But, the author frankly admits that the question is largely an economic and not a sentimental one, and, whether intentionally or not, he supports the view of those who contend that added independence on the part of women will inevitably lead to a slackening of the marriage bond and to greater freedom in forming and dissolving alliances. Whilst on one hand the book proceeds to argue logically what will happen under certain conditions, just as if it were dealing with a known quantity, it contradicts itself on the opposite page by illustrating the well-recognized fact that you can never count on what a woman will do under any given circumstances. "Woman with her tendency to variability often changes from day to day, and what pleases her in the morning may offend her at night. If she care for you she will change her mood and come to her senses, even though at first she make a display of sheer indifference." There is an illuminating chapter on the economic aspect of woman's future under the heading, "The Strife in Bread-winning," and it is is reasonably argued that the Social Evil is a question of bread-winning, and that the ranks of its votaries would not be replenished to any considerable extent but for the dependent position of women. The author believes that "this evil will be greatly lessened when the monetary dependence of women is removed, and one of the soundest methods of establishing greater purity is not preaching chastity, nor suppression, nor police intervention, nor rescue work, but thc insistence on opening out employment for women at wages that will lift them above want." The final chapter of the book is an attempt to answer the question, "Can there be Peace?" By this is meant, is the great sex war interminable? "For woman, always a tormenting joy, has become one of the chief problems of the age." It is conceded by the author that in spite of her ambitions woman is still thc consoler, the healer and the inspirer. He emphasizes the fact that there are mysterious physiological laws which affect the variableness of woman, and that sufficient allowance is not made for this; and he seems to admit that, while her natural temperament will always impose a handicap, the handicap can, and should bc, lightened by the removal of many restrictions which now exist. His conclusion is that the way of Peace is through the annihilation of the prejudices and pre-conccptions dealt with in his book, and that DANGER!

In connection with sport it is not out of place to mention the brilliant shooting at Bisley of Mc- Harg and Richardson, the B. C. champions, who have literally covered themselves with glory. It is interesting to note that they both made "possibles" and also tied at several distances. MILK INSPECTION It is several years since The Week exposed the defective system of milk inspection in Victoria, or rather the defective by-laws whicii prevented the inspection from being effective. The report of Mr. Thomas Lancaster, Sanitary Inspector, should receive immediate attention, as there is little doubt that the bulk of the milk sold here is first of all deprived of its best elements, ancl then adulterated with more or less harmful substitutes. This is a serious matter, affecting the public health, ancl the City Solicitor cannot get busy on a new by-law too soon. VULNERABLE The Times has very well pointed out that when ex-President Roosevelt undertook to lecture the English Government, he was laying himself wide-open to an easy and obvious retort. His remarks at tlie Guildhall were in very bad taste, but the proverbial courtesy of Englishmen to their guests prevented that outspoken criticism which was well deserved. It has remained, however, for a judge of one of the United States Courts to collate and publish statistics whicli clearly prove the assertion that "unpunished crime is the greatest, menace to American society." Another case of the mote and the beam. SIR WILFRID'S ERRAND It is amusing to read the per- Isistent charge of the Conservative lpress tliat Sir Wilfrid's AVestern Jpilgrimagc is a political one, ancl ■the equally strenuous asseveration lof the Liberal press that he is ■simply taking a trip for the bene- lfit of his health. In this connection The AVeek is reminded of the ■eminent colleague of Sir AVilfrid ■who once ventured the opinion [that "elections arc not won by Jprayers." Sir AVilfrid, no doubt, [believes that they arc to a great. |extent won by "smiles," sunny and ■otherwise.

The compiler has produced by far the most exhaustive treatise on the subject whicii has yet appeared. The book deals with A^ancouver Island, mainly from the standpoint of the tourist and pleasure seeker, but incidentally manages to throw a strong sidelight, on the profitable industries of the Tsland. The illustrations are excellent and the topography equal to anything which has yet conic from the Colonist presses. Presumably, 'Air. McGaffey, the indefatigable secretary of thc League, has had a finger in the pie, although his modesty prevents him from saying so. per, and the copies are not those given in the book. AVith all respect to the authorities this would seem to impose a useless and unnecessary expense on the parents. AN ICE CROP The manager of the Golden Star has called the attention of The AVeek to an article whicii is furnished by the American Type- Foundry Company through its AArestern agents, the Toronto Type- Foundry Company of AVinnipeg. This article appears in the "patent inside" supplied to numerous up- country papers. The title is "Storing the Ice Crop," and premises that it is calculated to convey the impression that after all Canada is "Our Lady of the Snows," and ice is the principal crop. The AVeek sympathises with its contemporary. These "patent inside" are an abomination, even if in some cases they are a necessary evil, ancl it must be admitted that the American Type-Foundry Company has adopted a very subtle method of chilling the enthusiasm of would- be American emigrants to AVestern Canada in the case under consideration. A COMPLAINT The parents of several children attending the Central School have complained to The AVeek that a certain teacher is in the habit of purchasing books at the secondhand book exchange on Fort, Street, and re-selling them to the children in her class. In the opinion of The AVeek this should not be icrmittod. Whilst registering complaints wc may mention another. The children at the Central School are compelled to purchase a drawing-book, "Blair's Canadian Drawing Scries," but the book is only used as a folder; all the drawing being done on loose sheets of pa- SOME SCHOOL TEACHERS A few months ago The AVeek called attention to very improper proceedings on the part of two teachers in Victoria Schools. In the one case an impertinent remark was addressed to a parent in a badly written, ungrammatical letter, written on a filthy piece of paper. As the teacher 'in question has been a constant offender, she has since been dropped from the staff. In another case complaint was made of an improper remark written by a teacher on one of the term reports. In consequence of thc publicity given to this in The AVeek, the teacher retained the original ancl issued a substituted report; surely au improper proceeding in any event, the object, obviously being to conceal the original observation. This substituted report is imperfect, as it contains no entry for March or tTune, ancl incomplete entries for January and May. The parent returned it with a polite enquiry: "AVhat is the reason for "Willie having a new report?" But this enquiry elicited no reply. The report in question now lies before The AATeek. It, is headed "Victoria Boys' Central Public School, Intermediate Grade," and it is signed by two teachers, the explanation being that one was a substitute during the temporary absence of the other. The AVeek forbears to publish the names of the teachers lest any injustice should be done, but the matter certainly calls for some attention, and the report has been forwarded to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

He played it for an hour and a half, but as he had no gaff he could not land it. The fish towed him more than a mile down the lake into the bay at the far end, and in thc shallow water its career was ended with a club. The weight of the fish could not be ascertained as it greatly exceeded the capacity of the scale (25-lb.j at the lake. Big Excursion to England Over 500 men, women and children of British birth or descent left the Union station on July 6 on a ten- coach Canadian Pacific Railway excursion train this morning en route to England and 200 more will join them at Montreal.

Mayor Geary bade them bon voyage, for the trip is under the auspices of the Sons of England, and the Mayor is one of the most prominent members of the order in Toronto. Line From Boundary to Pincher Creek A deputation of New York capitalists waited upon Premier Sifton at the Government offices, Edmonton, last week, to ask assistance to a line north from the international boundary to Pincher Creek. The Premier, while he discussed the project, stated that owing to the unsettled condition of the province at the present time, politically, he did not wish to give any promises nor was he in a position to discuss assistance to any railway project. Capitalists behind the road are understood to have large connections, and stated that their project is bigger than at present outlined to the public. Action by Tex Rickard Tex Rickards announces that he will start suit against Governor Gil- let next week in an attempt to recover $30,000 which he claims he lost banking laws on preparations to hold the Jeffries- Johnson fight in California. Rickard will base his rights on the claim that thc governor told him at one time there would be 110 interference with the proposed fight, and later, after work had been started on the arena and other preparations made, called out the militia to prevent it. Mr. Arthur P. Heinze Mr. Arthur P. Heinze, brother of Fritz Augustus Heinze, the noted financier and copper man, who was associated with Fritz in his famous banking and brokerage exploits in New York a year or two ago, must go to gaol for ten days. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the sentence passed by Judge Ray on Heinze after his conviction in June, 1909, on an indicement, charging him with obstructing the progress of justice by the mutilation and removal of books. United States Distriot Attorney Wise said he was unable to complete thc Government's case against Fritz Augustus Heinze, who was acquitted on charges of violating the National The Salmon Run The run of salmon seems getting better every to be clay ancl consequently there arc more fishermen daily getting into thc business. When the six o'clock gun was fired last evening there were dozens of nets thrown into the river and the Fraser below the bridge presented thc busiest scene it has done this year. The catch of most of the fishermen was very fair. Some spring salmon are caught and some sockeyes, and an unusually large number of sturgeon are finding their way into the nets for this time of the year. Railway Activity in Nicola Valley Jim Hill and thc V. V. & E. will be in Merrit within twelve months, according to thc News. It is understood on the best of authority that The Prize Fight Along with the New York American, thc Winnipeg Tribune notes approvingly with regard to the prizefight a sentiment of "Disgust that so base an interest should havc pre-oc- cupied the thoughts of multitudes ancl monopolized the organs of publicity, to the exclusion of thc things that arc fit to concern a nation." In the same issue the Tribune deplores the silence and indifference of a great section of the electorate in thc present campaign. Strange to say, the Tribune's feelings of disgust did not prevent the monopolizing of its own columns by detailed reports of the fight, and by floods of comment by every Tom, Dick and Harry that ever stepped into the ring, to the exclusion of the things that are fit to concern a nation. And neither at thc time of the prize-fight nor now do wc seem to discern any effort to combat that wonderful silence and indifference to one of the most interesting and important election campaigns ever waged in Manitoba which envelops the Tribune's editorial columns. But perhaps the election of a government is not, in the Tribune's eyes, one of those Popular "Corpses" Great excitement prevailed in Cambridge when six undergraduates of Emmanuel College were given a mock funeral,, consequent on their being sent down for misbehaviour in connection with a "bump" supper. Some hundreds of undergraduates and townspeople took part in the demonstration, the undergraduates being decked out in every variety of grotesque funeral garb. Some, wearing evening dress and tall hats, rode in crape-draped cabs, and others were mounted on horseback, whilst a great crowd followed afoot, including a detachment of Territorials, with arms reversed. The "corpses" were loudly cheered as their train departed. Cabinet Change The King has approved the ap- po'ntment of Earl Beauchamp, K. C. M. G., to be Lord President of the Council in the place of Viscount Wolverhampton, who has resigned on the ground of ill-health. It has been known for some time past that Lord Wolverhampton desired, owing to increasing infirmity and ill-health, • to be relieved of the position, and his resignation therefore created no surprise in political and Parliamentary circles. Lord Wolverhampton received the honour of a peerage in 1908; before that he was known to a very large public as Sir Hy. Fowler. He was under-secretary for the Home Department from 1884-1885, and in the following year Secretary to the Treasury. From 1892-1894 he was President of the Local Government Board, and from 1894-1895 Secretary of State for India. He was Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from 1905-1908, in which year he was appointed Lord President of the Council. For 28 years, 1880 to 1908, he was M. P. for East Wolverhampton. | "Absolute Fictions." Dr. Moule, Bishop of Durham, who for two years was honorary chaplain to Queen Victoria, and in 1901 became a chaplain-in-ordinary to King Edward VII, spoke also upon the character of King George at a meeting of past and present students of St. Hilda's training College for Schoolmistresses. Dr. Moule said if he wished to single out one of thc characteristics of King George V., it would be that he was a tremendously conscientious doer of daily work. Very often they heard the breath of slander against people who occupied prominent positions, and there were two respects in which King George had been slandered. One statement made was that he was not always temperate in his drinking, and the other was that he was secretly married to a lady not of Royal rank, and that his marriage with Queen Mary was therefore not legal. He wished to say with absolute confidence from an absolute knowledge that both these slanders were absolute fictions. King George was severely and strictly temperate in his habits. To say otherwise was a lie, and a lie that ought to be nailed to the counter. The slander as to his supposed marriage was also unfounded. P.

Refuses to Accept Malta Command. As exclusively announced in "Thc People" last Sunday, Lord Kitchener has declined the Malta Command. The admission was made in the House of Commons by the Minister for War in reply to a question. Mr. Haldane said: "To my great regret, Lord Kitchener has informed me that he does not now desire to take up his appointment to the Mediterranean Command. The Government, however, consider the appointment of much importance in connection with recent and prospective developments, and they propose to continue it. The appointment would, however, even in the hands of Lord Kitchener, have been the subject of modification and additions, which I shall be prepared to state a little later on. I may, however, mention that the duty of inspecting the military forces overseas, except in India, will attach to this post, the holder of which will not always be in residence in Malta. As thc post will be of an exclusively military character, it will not now be necessary to retain the title of High Commissioner in connection with it." Links With the Past Another of London's old taverns is about to lose its separate existence ancl be levelled with the dust. This is the Old Bell Inn, which stands at the corner of Pall Mall and St. James's-square, in the very heart of clubland. The date of erection is not quite clear, but it is possibly one of the most ancient hostelries in London. It is stated that Nell Gwynne was in the habit of entertaining her friends at this house, and that in the reign of Queen Anne it was one of the favourite haunts for the wits of the day. We know that around thc square and past this tavern Dr. Johnson and his young friend Savage wandered a whole night through being unable to afford a lodging. We know, further, that close by, at the shop of Dodsley, the bookseller, Dr. Johnson, Garrick, and Goldsmith met to discuss the new periodical about to bc started, which afterwards became known as "The Rambler." From the same place was issued the first volume of the "Annual Register," planned, and for the most part written, by Burke—a publication wlv'ch survives to this day.

Gas For Cooking The Victoria Gas Company has issued a new gas cookery book, which should be in the hands of every householder in the City. Tt contains one hundred and forty-live pages of the I best, up-to-date recipes for dainty dishes, with full instructions how to prepare and also with many useful hints to housekeepers. Of course, the object of the book is to illustrate the utility of gas stoves for cooking, and no one who looks through it will doubt that at the end of the book might well be written "Q. E. D." It is conceded that the chief advantage of a gas stove is cleanliness and economy; whereas as (So per cent, of all coal fuel is wasted | through the heat going up the chimney, the waste of gas in a properly regulated stove is practically nil. At thc commencement of the book is n short list of testimonials from prominent Victorians, whicii The Week- has pleasure in reproducing. In this connection it may be mentioned that owing to the great popularity of gas for cooking and heating purposes it has been found necessary to open an tip-town demonstration and sales room at 652 Yates Street, which will be fitted up in a modern style and will constitute one of the I finest gas display rooms on the Pacific Coast. It may be interesting to note that at the present time thc Victoria Gas Company has thirty miles of mains iu this city, to which it is adding month ly in order to keep pace with the growing demand.

Though the excitement of thc regatta is over, the Victoria Yacht Club does not intend to let tin: intereit incited wane. Arrangements are being made for a scries of local races for yachts and motor boats which will add both zest and enjoyment to thc boating season, and enliven thc week-ends which always bring out a number of enthusiasts. Last Saturday and Sunday found the weather very warm, without enough wind to entice the devotees of canvas, except the cruisers equipped with auxiliary power. There wcre, however, a large number of motor boats panting their way to Esquimalt Lagoon, Aubert Head, Ped- dcr Bay, and other pleasant spots in thc vicinity of Victoria. It is significant of the beneficial stimulas of the International Regatta that several Victorians havc expressed their intention to build boats of the best design for next season, The cruiser class is growing in popularity, for when equipped with an auxiliary gasoline engine and cabin accommodation, they are a very desirable class of boat for a pleasure trip up thc coast, or for an afternoon sail when time is an object. It has been suggested that the time is approaching when the majority of pleasure boats will be of this class, and that it will be necessary for each club to maintain its racer. Mr. Foulser of Seattle paid a flying visit to Victoria this week. It was chiefly owing to thc efforts of Mr. Foulser that the Long Distance Power Boat race was inaugurated. The old "Columbia," at one time the Reverend T. Antle's Mission boat, is now the property of Mr. Singleton Wise, and is renamed the "Chaos." Mr. and Mrs. Wise and party have left on a trip to Alberni. The "Chaos" is entered in the Alaskan Long Distance race which takes place next August. Much of the success of the recent Regatta was due to the efforts of Captains James and Jarvis of the Victoria Nautical Academy, who had a great part of the arrangements in hand. The Victoria Yacht Club will make every endeavour to obtain the privilege of a Royal Charter for their Club. Commodore Cuppage has secured lhe support of many influential people in (his matter and thc members of the Club have every reason to believe that his efforts will be successful. CORRESPONDENCE Capt. Birdwhistlc, secretary of thc Dominion Rifle Association, has been appointed general secretary for the Domiuion of Canada branch of General Baden-Powell's boy scouts. The work for some time has been looked after by Lord Lanesborough, military secretary to his excellency. Thc movement is becoming more general and Dominion and provincial councils arc being appointed to look after the work. A Safe Prediction Editor J. S.

Sir,—In your issue of last Satui- day appears an article in which you state that farming on Vancouver Island does not pay. I am sorry that you did not think it well to elaborate this subject a little because such a statement, bare and unqualifitd, is liable to do much harm. I am sure such a result is far from your sen-1 timents or intention. I beg therefore for your permission to go a little deeper into the matter. I To begin with, I am afraid that | the statement is only too true, but I fancy this lamentable fact is ensily capable of remedy. Everyone will, I think, agree with me in stating that the climate and soil of \ incouver Island are suitable to the production of all the ordinary crops grown elsewhere in the temperate regions of the earth. We know that the usual grasses, such as Tim-| othy, Red Top, Rye, and Cocksfoot, (erroneously called here "orchard grass") do well. Thc cereals do as well, viz., wheat, oats and rye, I havc never seen barley so cannot speak' about it. Potatoes, beans and roots' cannot be beaten anywhere, where each is grown in a suitable location of 1 hich many abound, and even so dclicati a crnn as hops has proved iver) -m .ul as far as growth is concerned. Hops were an economic failure because they could only be placed on the market as "Pacific Coast Hops." This grade is the worst known in Mark Lane and fetches the lowest price. Its character has been determined by thc class of hop exported from California, Oregon, Washington, which as I havc already mentioned are the worst produced anywhere in the world. It was conclusively proved some 17 or 18 years ago, notably by Mr. Breeds of Saanich that a very much finer quality could be and was grown on his farm at Saanich, but until the whole district was able to produce hops of a similar quality and to send several hundred bales every year to London, Vancouver Island hops had to suffer for and with those from the neighbouring Pacific Coast States. Why then does not farming pay? I think there are several obvious reasons. First—Most of the land in this neighbourhood was taken up by men who had made money in Cariboo and who had done their life's work there. They came here more to settle and live comfortably for the rest of their lives than to engage in the strenuous business of farming. Most of them succeeded in their object, and one or two almost became farmers. Secondly—Nearly all the young men who come to us from the Old Country know absolutely nothing at all about farming and commit thc initial error of taking up a great deal too much land. I know of a man who took immense pains to provide himself with brass stair rods for his house but who was indifferent to the insect pests on his trees, and thc error of taking up too much land is apparent on all sides. These I think are thc chief reasons why farming does not pay. There are no doubt others and still others which are extensions and ramifications of those I havc mentioned. But surely they are not insurmountable objections to thc prosecution of successful farming especially if my first statement, that land and climate are suitable, is granted. It should also be mentioned that ordinary crops do not, like hops, for which there is hardly any local demand, have far to look for a good and almost insatiable market. I am, etc., CHARLES ST. BARBE. Victoria, 10th July, 1010. The Companies Act July 13, 1910.] The Editor of Thc Week. Sir,—I have read with interest yol article on the Companies Act in yo| last issue, and would like space point out a consideration that I hal not seen referred to in the local pre! discussion, though it should be wc| known. The fact is that ever since i8(J extra-provincial companies have hal to be licensed or registered here bl fore they could do business, so til agitation would seem somewhat bJ lated. The clause rendering agenl liable to a penalty is a new one, bil in all other respects the new act far less stringent than the 1897 stil tute so far as the disabilities of extr;] provincial companies arc concerned Agents can only be prosecuted witl the consent of the attorney-general so the whole agitation looks somc| what factitious and political. May I also add that our 1897 CoirJ panics Act was largely based on thi original English Companies Act c| 1863, and after over forty years amendments and experience, Englisl company law was consolidated il 1908. Later on the Imperial Govern! ment sent out a circular suggestinl that a uniform company law through! out thc Empire would have benefichr results, and I have always undei stood that the new Act was to soivi extent in response to that circula The advantages of an uniform lavl so long as London remains the ceil tre of investment, need hardly be ill lated upon, though it must be a<| mitted that the new Act greatly dif courages the gentle art of "wif catting." Yours, etc., HERBERT W. R. MOORE. Hli Diet Miss Wise—He's professor of cla slcs out at the university. Miss Dumley—Yes. And he's a v| getarlan, so Mr. Kidder tells me. Miss Wise—Did he really tell y| that? Miss Dumley—Well, he said he sii| ply lives on Greek roots. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1910 II Carissima Mia |By Marguerite Kinloch It was a glorious day in the middle |August with the sun beating down the never ending stretches of [id that lie along the coast of soine Its of Brittany. Fishing Smacks, ring vessels, and boats of all kinds [re lying idly in the Bay of the fall sea coast village of St. Ursule. fcrk of all kind seemed to be sus- |dcd, owing to the midday heat, ire and there, men' and women re dozing on thc beach or blinking fpidly at the glare of the sun on water, as though they had nothin the world to do but sit and am. |)nly one boat in the whole har- showed any sign of life, it was trading vessel, , which was being Itily prepared for a trip to the Ithern coast of Italy. . Men ran [ier and thither, loading up bar- containing salt fish, the staple Id of the sea-faring people of that It of France, cheese, oil, water, lir, in fact everything that was lessary for ,the voyage. Only one li stood apart, instead of helping [companions in their arduous task, stood in the middle of the pier Ji his hands shading his eyes, as ugh he were expecting some one, liagnificent specimen of the Bre- peasant, tall, broad shouldered, handsome, with blue eyes, and lid hair, his face darkly tanned li constant exposure to sun, and ler, for he was a trader, by pro- lion, and spent more than half lyear cruising round the Southern of Europe. Suddenly his face Itened up with an expression of lignition as a girl appeared round J bend of the cliff. It was Marie Lille coming to say good-bye to lover, Gaston Dufour, before he I sail for his long yearly voyage, ch meant an absence of several Jiths. farie was an orphan, who lived in Jttlc cottage near the sea, with her Icrnal aunt, a bed-ridden old cre- •e of kindly nature, but primitive ■its. Rheumatism had bent, and lorted her once shapely figure, her Ids were almost useless. Occas- ally in thc summer months she |ld do a little knitting, but when long cold Winter set in, her ters became so crippled that she jid do nothing, but lie in bed and lam of the days when she was png, and with her dear Pierre on little farm where she had spent few short years of her married . before thc good God had taken li. and left her alone; well not lte alone, for there was her sister's le girl, Marie, to look after and |ig up. The mother had died in ling birth to the child, the last of family of five sons, who had all In drowned, at one time or another lie engaged in the perilous deep sea ling during the Winter months in lland. Their father followed them It three months before the little Irie had first seen light, so that |re was no one to take care of tiny mite, but Tante Brigitte who her farm after her husband's Ith put all her money in a bag lund her neck, and came North to Ik after the little orphan, lhe was a kind woman and brought Iher niece as best she could, she jht her to read, and write, and her prayers, to spin the yarn and [ for their humble requirements, above all things, she impressed }n her, from her earliest infancy, necessity of committing every- jig to thc good God, from whose Id she must accept all the ills of J without repining. It was the old |it of fatalism inherent in the peas- i character. The little Marie was (right, intelligent child, and posted moreover great personal beau- Iwhich, now she had attained her pnteenth year, attracted all the of thc village, each one of whom J anxious to secure for his fiancee (acknowledged belle of St. Ursule. J Marie had favoured the stalwart lon Dufour, to whom she was now affianced for over a year. His people lived near her, and were very well-to-do folk, and Gaston now in his twenty-fifth year, was first mate on the "Etoile du Nord" and would doubtless some day be captain. They were to be married when he returned from his next voyage, and would reside with Tante Brigitte, in the cottage where Marie was born, and brought up, so that she would not be alone during the long Winter months while Gaston was away, and besides Tante Brigitte was quite old, and an invalid now and for'; several years past, Marie had taken complete charge of her, and of all the domestic arrangements of their humble abode, i She rose early and worked bard all day, both indoors and outside, on the little patch of garden surrounding the house. There, in the Spring, she would sit on a rocking chair, after her work was done, either knitting or sewing, and thinking of her Gaston who would soon be home, whom she loved so devotedly, and who had chosen her for his bride. It all seemed so wonderful to her humble mind, she was so poor and ignorant of the ways of the world, her own* great beauty she never realized, so that she marvelled all the time in her heart at Gaston choosing her from some of the' more showily dressed girls in the village, who would have been only too pleased had they been the favoured ones. And now Gaston who had been home for over two months was leaving that afternoon, for his last voyage before returning to claim his bride. Marie went down to the wharf to wish him "bon voyage" as she had promised to do the evening before, when he had come over to have a last chat with her. She was thinking over all he had said to her, how he- had promised to return as soon r*s possible, how happy they would be when they were married, and all tho pretty things he would bring her from the different ports they touched at during his absence. But somehow she had had a queer sinking r. f the heart, when he rose to bid her good-night. She had never remembered feeling like that before, a lump had risen in her throat as she 'clung to him sobbing, "Something tells me," she said, "that we shall never meet again." He laughed at her fears as he took her in his arms and kissed her. "Havc I not always come back before?" he said, "and why should anything happen to me now. Let mc see, this is the twenty-fifth of August. Well, eight months from now I swear to you I shall return to claim you, unless I am dead," he added, "so help me God." The solemnity of his words had reassured her; all the same she had cried herself to sleep, very softly, for fear Tante Brigitte would hear, and scold her for not having more faith in le Bon Dieu. So it was a very red-eyed, sorrowful looking girl that came along the beach to say a last farewell to her lover. He went to meet her and brought her down to sec his boat, which was almost ready to put to sea. She tried to appear bright, as she chatted to the men who would be his companions on the voyage, but it was a great effort, her head ached, and she felt very miserable. She couldn't understand how Gaston could love her as much as he said he did, and look so dry eyed and indifferent at their approaching parting. Poor girl, she didn't understand that it is the woman who is always left, even though she be the one to go. A man has so much more to fill his life, is so much more easily consoled, that love is always a secondary consideration with him, unless passion play a larger part in his feelings, in which case he may be undone completely, but only for a time. No such philosophy entered into her simple teaching, she only felt in a dumb sort of way that she could keep up no longer, her heart seemed to be breaking, so saying that she must hurry back to her aunt who was not so well as usual, she put out her hand to Gaston, who took her in his arms, saying, "Remember April will be soon here, when I shall return to claim my bride." A sob was her only answer as she turned away and left him. He watched her slight girlish figure gradually disappear along the beach with its shimmering sand, then joined his "LIVERINE" Bowes' Effervescent Saline jhotild be taken during the warm weather.

On a hot June night'in Venice, ten months later, a man and a woman were slowly drifting round one of the canals, of that famous city in a gondola. Myriads of stars lit up the sky while the moon was shedding an unearthly radiance over the old palaces, built by the Doges at the edge of the water. They seemed to stand out dark, vast, and mysterious looking against the brilliancy of the night, one almost expected a conspirator to bc lurking in their many recesses. The same pale light shone on, and illumined the magnificent sensual beauty of a woman lying in her lover's arms, with a smile of triumph on her lips. Gaily painted Gondolas kept passing and repassing, while the wind wafted thc sound of the mandolin and guitar across the water, accompanied by the rich voices of the Italian boatman. It was a night to dream—a night to love. The woman whose voice was tuned to sweetest cadence, murmured softly to her lover, "Tell mc again my Gaston, that you have never loved any other woman before, I want to know that your heart is all mine. Ah; my love, I will show you what love is. Tell mc, that you never cared for that baby faced girl in Brittany. What docs she know about meu and their hearts? How could she expect you, my Gaston, to go back to her in the cold North, you who are so big and handsome." The man stooped and kissed thc beautiful voluptuous lips of his companion. "Carissima mia," he said, "I havc never loved anyone before. I never knew what love was till 1 met you. Ah, you have given me life and love for evermore. I can never leave you now. I would rather bc dead than live without you." Thc woman laughed a low triumphant laugh, as she realized how completely her lover was in her toils. "Perhaps she is waiting for you now, my Gaston," she continued, "or perhaps she is tired, this is June, and you promised to return in April," and she laughed again, and clapped her Vancouver Island Cold Storage and Ice Company VICTORIA, B.C.
