C, and can bo traced to many |>arts of the earth. It, comes to the front every Thursday and has never been raided by the slieriil, snowslided by cheap silver, or subdued by the fear ol man. It works for the trail blazer as well as the bay-windowed and champnune-ilnvoretl capitalist. It aims to be on the right side of everything and believes that hell should be administered to the wicked in large doses. It bas stoou the test, of time, and an ever-increasing paystreak is proof that It is better to tell the truth, even if the heavens do occasionally hit our smokestack. A chute of job work is worked occasionally lor the Deneht of humanity and the financier. Come in and see us, but do not put the bull dog on the cranium, or chase the black cow- from our water barrel: one is savage and the other a victim of thirst. One of the noblest works of creation is the man who always pays thc printer; ho is sure of a bunk in paradise, with tbornless roses for a pillow by night, and nothing but gold to look at by day. R.

Same .? a H"e WT drawn through IV Canada Canada at Fort William the following remarks from a Kansas paper will apply to this great Dominion: "Of the 40,000,000 people who live east of the line drawn north to south through the center of Indiana, 3D.000.000 of them believe that 39,000,000 of the 40,000,000 who live west of that line are a cumscribed as is the environment in which they "little ■ aro*Hlltl""\\viiile stringing words together at so much per string, and by short-haired grannies who if they could have their way would not let a man live anywhere north of the equator, we feel like hoisting the black nag in return and keeping it hoisted until the owners or managers of these Eastern publications banish the entire tribe of puritanical warts to the antipodes."

M'lu-y lidii.ic nil this and much more, because they themselves are nn traveled and ignorant; because they are narrow, prejudiced and provincial to the thirty-third degree, and because they have been taught from the beginning that everything coarse, common and vulgar finds unwilling worshippers in the. brutal, uncivilized West*.

But you can't get his heart in that way. You might argue all day with a man, but if he is not in a mood to be argued with is neither one thing nor the other; who delights to play fast and loose with" the church; who is converted to no principle; without any spiritual aim or ambition in life; a shillyshally, folly-chasing, dollar-grabbing, pleasure-seeking individual ashamed to confess his C4od in his life before men and afraid to deny him? That is the kind of timber the Ontario parson wanted to knock out as pillars of his church, and he did it. + Pity it is that there are not more parsons in the world of this stripe. What would be thought of Lord Kitchener, for instance, if he were to take on his departmental staff such timber in a military sense; men who would come to his table, partake of his kindness and go forth to blaspheme his name and through cowardice dishonor the army and their country? A halfhearted man is a failure in any calling. Pure patriotism i« ^emaiulcd, ii. uiiuui.i.y afe, in business life, in social life and in church life. Patriotism and honesty to and in the cause you espouse. If all parsons were to act as manly as the Ontario man there would be less to coin- plain of against the church and -less opportunity given to those who are ever seeking to, honestly or dishonestly, discredit Christianity.

THE LEDttE, NEW DENVER, B. C, DECEMBER 5. 1901. Che Uacclnaiicn -Curse A case of smallpox has been found in Eossland recently and the next thing we may expect to have sprung on us is the cowpox by the medical profession. The vaccination curse will be forced upon the patient public, and cowpox inoculated into well people to make them sick whether or no. Science says it is better to make well people sick by shooting into them the poisonous vit'us from running sores on a diseased cow than it is to keep them well and healthy and strong by inducing them to practice a few simple exercises and cleanliness. And what the medical profession doesn't know about smallpox—would fill a library. Seventy years ago a physician by the name of M. R. Lever- . son, wrote upon the evils of vac- i eination. He said in part: "A remarkable instance of a degrading and cruel superstition, taking its rise among a people claiming to be enlightened and persisting into what is called a "scien- tilie" age, is that of vaccination. "If the believers in this superstition were content to indulge in it without attempting to force it upon the more enlightened, it might safely be left to die but as enlightenment advanced. Unfortunately for the race, a few greedy self-seekers have managed to foist their belief (or alleged belief) upon the lawmakers, and these men, nearly always ignorant of the principles of legislative science and but too frequently corrupt, have suffered their fears to be worked upon until this superstitious belief has been erected into a State Medical Church and the greedy self-seekers have been appointed its well-paid priests. So pin^sn^tly^nnrtlnrto'Trrof^'T'lread"' disease,'! and t-luvsupposed horrors of smallpox been insisted on by nearly all the teachers of medicine during the past one hundred years, that there can be little doubt but that a majority of the medical profession today "have faith" therein, and to most of them who read (his r iirt icle it will be a great, surprise to learn that there is no foundation whatever for their belief. That tnis statement is true can be proved from the writings of al) medical men who wrote upon smallpox before the senseless practice of inoculating smallpox ns a protection against smallpox made smallpox almost universal. •When ihe pathology of cowpox is examined, the absurd and re- glance will reveal their striking similarity: COW-POX.

Now is the harvest time for the professional blood-poisoners. It has never been absolutely proven that smallpox is contagious. In fact, the vaccinators themselves will admit that it is yot contagious unless you are in a condition to acquire it. In other words, unless your blood is impure from breathing foul air, overfeeding, muscular- inactivity and an excess of clothing. In Physical Culture, Bernarr Macfadden tells of a Dr. M. J. Kodermutid, of Appleton, Wis., who last year visited the pest house of his city, passed his hands all over the sores of a* patient in the acute stages of smallpox, then transferred as much as he could of this contagious element to his coat, vest and handkerchief. Thus reeking with the supposed contagion of this foul disease he sallied forth. pass unmolested. Under the cover of legal marriage, it has been at liberty to cause all manner of suffering without being attacked by those who ought to and do have the health of the world in their hands. Its evils have not been held up to the public gaze like those of drink, food, dress and pleasure intemperance. Nay, many of the reformers function as they do on those of eating and walking, as a necessary part of their lives. The physician will no longer be implored to put the stamp of Cain on his brow in order to deliver them from a burden which they are unfitted by a misuse of this function to bear. The desire to rid herself of the functiou of propagating her species in these other lines are as guilty of j has had most direful effects on this one evil as those who do not in woman's nature. It has made her any respect uphold the tenets of temperance. This has been the cruel and cunning. Woman has ever sought to defy man's oppres- one condition in which man has j sive power by cunning, and as long been allowed free exercise of his] as she is oppressed she will. Women own will. It has been only when ' who would be horrified at a murder such intemperance has occurred! are willing to murder the little life outside the sacred precincts of mat- j within them, pleading that the be- rimony that the public voice has ing is not yet alive. Not woman been raised in disapproval. Two persons legally united are free to injure each other and their offspring as much as they may have a alone, but man also. A woman will come to a physician, desiring to be relieved of her undesired offspring, with the oft-repeated re mind to, and it is all right. The mark: 'My husband does not want He was well known in his native town. All his friends were greeted with great elfusion. He shook and held their hands, rubbed his coat sleeves over theirs and was especially demonstrative in his regard. That evening he attended a party. He wore the same suit of clothes and carried with him the same handkerchief. He continued to demonstrate his alVeetion for all the invited guests in every possible way. His handkerchief at least had probably rubbed against the sleeve of nearly all there. At the conclusion of this parly the doctor announced what he had done. There was a terrible outburst ol indignation. The doctor came very near to being lynched, and for a time he had to be conspicuous by volting character of vaccination \\ ],is absence from town.

And be did prove it. | legal union covers a multitude of sins. A woman may be invalided for life, may be sent to a lunatic asylum—it is all right. A man may be lower than the most degenerate brute, and yet be all right in the eyes of the public so long as this intemperance is exercised within the pale of holy matrimony. Ignorance is at the root of this evil. Education, as in all other reforms, will alone remedy the evil. Until men and women fully realize the physiological functiou which they are violating continually, no remedy can be expected. Prohibition, as in all other reforms, will fail. •'This sexual function is one me to have any more children.' Yes; but that selfish husband has not will-power to properly recog- nide that he is misusing a function. The world today is full of those who are trying to regulate family, not by an observance of natural law, but rather by artificial means which are sources of danger. Knowledge alone will be the remedy for this evil, which should be called nothing less than legal prostitution." ANAKCI1Y AM) Ktlll.

DAVID, Schwab, who was suspected of sharing in their plot, keeps a saloon in New York. Most has his headquarters aud issues his iucen diary paper, 'Freedom,' from a saloon, and the writer tracked him through three saloons one morning as Most went about among his flock. As the legitimate business of the country stood still while our President was laid away, the saloon went on. It was the day of its victory, while with its red eyes it looked out on the streets leering at the nation that dares to trifle with its power. Czolgosz loses his life as the penalty of his crime, but what of that? The saloon is raising many children to prove to those who have sold it the right to live, while it robs the nations of their rulers and wives of their husbands, that it mocks at those that deride its power. It avails little to hang up efligies of the assassin, the child of the saloon, while the parent lives to multiply his kind. Hang up the. saloon, and the race of anarchists will die. Wine is a mocker, and it jeers at us over the tomb.

He called on a young lady to spend the evening, and when he got ready to leave he realized that a heavy rain was raging. He had no umbrella or rubber coat and when the girl's father asked him to stay all night he readily consented. Next, morning when ho was invited to a seat at the table he very reluctantly consented. He was very nervous and agitated. He sat opposite a mirror and discovered that he had forgotten to comb his hair. Then he dropped his fork on the floor and as he stooped to pick it up he upset the coffee pot. Matters went from bad to worse until finally in despair, the young man quit eating and put his hands under the table. Tlie loose end of tbe table cloth was lying oa his lap, and when he touched it he turned pale. He- thought it was his shirt, and that in his nervous excitement while dressing he had forgotten to put the garment inside of his trousers. These, he thought, accounted for the smiles and embarrassment. There was no time to lose. He hurriedly stuffed the supposed shirt into his trousers. Two minutes later when the family arose from the table there was a crash. The dishes lay in a broken mass on the floor. The young man pulled three feet of the table cloth out of his pants and fled through the back "'•■---» ■ **.*-*■.*-* '..' on which the continuance of every successful ulator necessary to ihe welfare of every business depends. successful business established on business principles, WE Combine all of these precepts; hence our unqualified success since establishing our business in Nelson In lHi>o.

And to my curious ear this I melv thing Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing- Ever a tale of ocean seemed Vj tell. How came this shell upon the mountain height! Ah, who can say Whether there dropped by some too careless hand— Whether there cast when ocean swept the land, Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day ? Strange, was it not'! far from its native sea, Oiie song it sang— Sang of the mighty mysteries of tlie tide- Sang of the awful, vast, profound and wide— Softly with echoes of the ocean rang. And as the shell upon the mountain's height Sings of the sea. So do I ever, leuuues aud leagues away— So do I ever, wandering where I may". Sing, 0 my home—sing, O my home, of thee, --Helen Modjeska.
