Increase.Tbe Twin Clty Rapid Transit Company which controis the street railway business of the adjoinimg cities of Minneapolis and St.Paul, operating in addition euburban lines to Stillwater and Lake Minnetonka, and serving numerous summer resorts of the Twin Cities, continues to do a large and increasing business._ With respect to franchises, the company is extremely favorably situated.in both cities it has exclusive rights, the St Paul franchise being perpetual, the Minneapolis one not expiring until 1937.Between 1890 and 1%0 the combined population of Minneapolis and St.Paul increased from 297,894 to 366,350.During the succeeding six years a still greater rate of growth was maintained, for in 1906 the two cities had a population of 500,000, while the Twin Cities are the most important milling centres in tce North West, the largest flour mills in the world being e:tuated there.Formed in 1891 by the amalgamation of the Minneapolis and St.Paul Street Railways, the Twin City Company is firmly established.It can point to a record of increasing gross earnings.Since 1900 the gross earnings bave doubled and.whilet the net.owing to increasing cost cf operation and maintenance have not chown a proportionate increase, a growth of 55 percent is highly satisfactory.In 1177, the gross eafnings amonnled to $6.02.549, an Increase of $428.462 over the vear before, The net earninge for Decem- ter are not yet available.but a conservative estimate based on the cost of operation in November has been made by adding 5 percent to the operating ratio in that month.The result is a surplus of $1,650.- cor.for the vear being at the rate of over: growing com- | the form rommon stock as 8 recent on the ; re in 196, which pared with $1,772,181 equal to 8.3 percent on the same issue.Since 194 renewal funds have been laid aside out of earnings to provide for de- rreciation of roadbed and equipment, in order to obviate excessive demands on revenue in any one year.The property hoe been efficiently maintained and is in t condition.OE eompany has paid dividends on the common stocks at the rate of 5 percent yearly since 192.Several times in the course of the past few years the predict'on hae been made that the dividend would be increas~d tv 6 De has been No confirmation.ee dent, Mr.Lowry is attributed with taving made the statement recently that guch increase would be made early this vear, it is possible that the recent crisis may have made such action inadvisable scr the present.Howerer, it ie bound to come, and the position of the company ijeMfies the belief that it will pot be long delayed.He rings of the Twin CIty Rapid Trancit Company for the finet week of January anmounted to $105.421, being an increase of $2.402, or 2.79 percent over the and an increase over

the Kaminsti- quia Power Company of Montreal for Lhe supply of power to be used for light ing and the operation of the street car Their increased requirements lor power, and fauure ot the water supply Irom their storage resources in connection with the power plant of Port Arthur, has made it necessary tor the civic authorities to obtain outside power.The Kaministiquia Power Company are meeting with considerable success 11 connection with thew new hydro-electric development, eituated at Kakabeka Falls, about twenty miles from kort William.In 1906 the town of Fort William was operating their electric plant by steam, and in the latter part ot 1906, the municipality contracted with tbe INaminis\" tiquia Power Company for power.Lhe annual report of the town for 1907 shows the wisdom ot this move, the cost OI operating the steam plant in 1906 being greater than the cost of purchased elec: ric power.This is gratifying, and at the end Ot 1907 it was satisfactory to the town to tind that the cost of purchased electric power was less than the cost of oper ating the steam plant.\u2018l'he revenue tor 1907 had increased $10,000 over the re: venue of the previous year.The town of Port Arthur operates 1ts water and electric power plant, but the civic authorities have found it advisable to purchase some power from the Ka- ministiquia company, and a short time ago contracted for several hundred horse power to operate the street rail way system.The demands for power have exceeded the capacity of the civic water plant, \u2018and they have signed a contract thie week for an additional power, to be used in conjunction with their own development.The Kaministiquia Power Company 8 development has been in service a little over one year, and 18 NOW à finarcial success.This is rather remarkable In view of the fact that when the plant was started there was not very Much business in sight.; The Power Company is determined to show the municipalities out West the advantage of à large power development operated under skilful and experi enced management and supervision, and the civic authorities of Fort William l have not been siow to realize the advantages of the new development, which has made a large saving in the cost of operating the municipal plant.It has given them excellent means of inducing manu\u201d facturers to locate in Fort William.and, in addition, they have the advantage of the influence exerted by the owners and of those interested in the Kaministiqu'a Company's plant.These gentlemen are.well known in the commercial world ry connection with the location of severa | + industries throughout the West.\u201cart William and Port Arthur are bevond all expectations, and in or the wonderful growth is, IN e to the location of large enterprises that have selected that town largely on account of the advantages to be obtained from the reliable electric power at reasonable rates.This development was promoted and now controlled by Messrs.H.S.Holt, F W.Thompson and © R.Hoemer, ot Montreal.which no doubf, accounts in # very large measure for the success the enterprise.while Mr R.S.Kelsch is the consulting engineer.- NEW SMELTING WORKS The Drummond Mines Company may sstablish smelting works in the vicinity of Bathurst, N.B., in connection with their recently acquired rich iron deposite at Grand Falls, on the Nipisiguit river.Besides the order to eurvey a line from the mines to connect with the I C.R, two miles from town, another order will be issued to run a preliminary survey from this latter point to the old ship vard and on to the southern entrance of Rathurst harbor.The municipal council has been asked for\u201d exemption from taxation for twenty years, and will grant it.a large measure, du CONSULTING ENOINEER KAMINISTIQUIA CO, ;

TAC ERT Li du COS MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS \u2014 THE ALLAN LINE LAST YEAR WAS SUCCESSFUL ABOVE BRIGHTEST ANTICIPATIONS.That the Allan line have had a re- prarkable scason is shown by the follow ing report of the year's work just issued: \u2018The vear 1907 to which we so recent- ty said * Good-by * should not be allowed | tuo pass with only the customary thanks and congratulations.It was a remarks able year mn many Ways, disastrous to some, as witness the tremendous Upheavals in the financial world and almost unprecedented shrinkage in.value of securities, but to the steamship business generuliy and that of the Allan Line especially the year was successful a ove our brightest anticipations.I'he deman upon our passenger space In OUT various services westward, was trom the very outset of the year.almost up to the limit of our accommodation, and as the spring advanced, 1t greatly, exceeded it, for months the steamers were booked full many weeks in advance of their sa ling, und.\u2014We had the usual large sunumer traffic, the numbers In the caloon about the same as the previ ous vear, the second cabin considerably in excess, many of the paseengers, indeed | taking round trip: he great majority.brokers.As the year drew towards a close.we witnessed an unparalleled demand for homeward bound second and third class accommodation.For five successive weeks the vessels went out with every berth taken, and for the turbine steamers many passengers were re- sed., Fes resuit is the establishment of a new record for numbers.The year 1906 was uur best previous year with a total of 98.322 passengers carried Kast and \\Vest bound of all classes by our VATIOUS services.The year just closed added about 26,- GUN to these hgures, or fully 26 percent.Every seuzion otf the Dominion provided its fair quota, nor was the United States behind, vur increase in sales being, in the United Stales, 4U percent above the previous-year.; The movement of passenger trafic depends upon conditions that are quite be- youd the sphere of the passenger agent.The last crop from the fertile fields of the great Northwest, and the labor market generally have much, 1f not all, to Jo with the bringing of people to our shores or sending them from them.Our relation to this movement is to provide the facilities for the cusy and comiort- able transfer from one eide of the At lantie to the other of these ever Increasing numbers.That we have done this for 125.000 people 1m 1907 1s a matter of record.To accomplish it we built aud pt on the route two new twin screw steamers Corsican\u2019 and Grampian aggregating 21.000 tons, and providing ac- commnuxlation in the best manner for 350 salnon.000 second cabin and 2.400 third class.They are bidding fair to become avorite ships, and they add greatly to the facilities of the line.Of the Future.\u2014- We cannot tell whether the movement which was so greatly accelerated 1 1907 reached its climax and we are now to witness an abatement.There is no reason why this should be so.The farmers were never more prosperous than they have been this past vear.The crop while not so large brought much more money than the previous good crop, it is estimated by good authorities at twenty million dollars Increase in value.Our mills and factories have fairly hummed with business.\u2018Labor\u2019 has been in constant demand at the higliest vases ever paid.No one able and willing to work was idle.The winter has brought 1is cessation to much outdour werk, as is customary, and for two months, or sav until March Ist, there will be need for caution in advising people to come to Canada, but after that date there will, we firmly believe, be a resumption of field labor and railway building to the fullest extent.In anticipation of this, and as a pledge of our faith in the success of Canada, a third new steamer, the * Hesperian, \u2019 is now approaching completion, and will take her place on the line by the middle if March.The fleet will then consist of 29 steamers with a total tonnage of 171,054 tons.Improvement of Services.\u2014The Liver- = Eczema, Salt Rheum.Eczema or Salt Rheum, as it is often ealled, is one of the most agonizing of skin diseases.It manifests itself in little round blisters, which contain an extremely irritating fluid.These break and subsequently a crust or scale is formed.The intense burning, itching and smarting, especially at night or vrhen the part is exposed to any strong heat, are almost unbearable.The pre-eminent success which Burdock Blood Bitters has met with in permanently curing a disease of such severity is due to its wonderful blood cleansing and purity- ing properties.No other remedy has done, or can do, so much for those who are almost driven to distraction with the terrible torture, aa our thousands of signed testimonials can testify to.Mra.Joo.R.Keady, Liaton, N.B., writes: \u201cI was so troubled with Salt Rheam for eight years, that I could not wock my bands were so sore, By using Burdock Blood Bitters my han eventually cured.\u201d Mia.lra C.Buckner, Eden, Ont., writes: \u201c1 was troubled with Ecrema for a long time.It came out on my face and between my shoulders.A friend told me about Burdock Blood Bitters.I took two bot- tlse and it helped me so much I canuot proommend it too highly.\u201d WHEN GOING SOUTH \u201cAMERICA\u2019S GREATEST - \"

Tunisian.\u2019 The \u2018Corsican,\u2019 new last year, is quickly becoming a favorite and bids fair in a short time to be as greatly in demand as the three other ships on the route.Her passages are made with clock-like regularity and she is pronounced as exceedingly comforteble at sea.The supremacy of the turbine steamer has been amply established, and the * Victorian\u2019 and \u2018 Virginian * have fully maintained their prestige.The absence of engine odors, noise, and vibration on the turbine steamers adds a new comfort to ocean travel, and induces many who woud be otherwise deterred, to travel for pleasure and recreation.Our Glasgow Nervice:\u2014This will receive the greatest improvement in 1908 that it has ever known.The Allan Line had its origin in Scotland in 1823.Glasgow, or on the Clyde fear Glasgow, 9u percent of all our steamers have been built, and there also is the office of general management.It is, therefore, with particular satisfaction that we have to announce that the two new \u2018Grampian ' and * Hesperian, \u2019 supported by * Ionian,\u2019 Twin Screws, and * Preto- rian.\u201d will run at weekly intervals throughout the season of 1908.\u2014_\u2014 HOW HOXSES SUFFER INJURED BY TREADING ON NALLY SCATTERED AMONGST ASHES BY THE CORPORATION.When the corporation scatters asiies on the fuotpaths it ought, in the pubhu interest, first to take some steps to aDd- stract all nails and snarp scraps of meo.al.Several owners of horses comp.ain that their animals have been injured by treau- ng on nails which have been scatterzd amongst the ashes on the footpaths, and have been thrown into the street witn the snow, when householders start cleaning the paths.The suggestion has been made Lhat a magnet might be used to abstract the nails, which are so numerous that the corporation might eell them at a pront.In any caee some steps ought to be taken, for when a nail penetrates the \u2018coffin vone\u2019 of a horse\u2019s hoof there 1s little hope of saving the animal.BEADABLE PARAGRAPHS THE BATTLE OF THE FUTURE, The general was juet about to give the order to charge when an aide rode up, his borse showing the effects of the tremendous strain he

bloody.If once Leonidas\u2019s line broke and the Pervians rushed on with howls of triumph, it wae only to see the Hellenes\u2019 files close m a twinkling and return to the onset with their does in confusion.Hydernes led back his men at last.The king sat on the ivory throne just out of arrow shot, watching the ebb and flow of the battle.Hyda rnes approached and prostrated himself.\u2018Omnipotence, I the least of your slaves put my life at your bidding.Command that I forfeit my head, but my men can do no more.I have lost hundreds.The pass is not +o be stormed.\u2019 .Only the murmur of assent from the well-tried generals about the throne saved Hydarnes from paying the last pen- aléy.The king's rege was fearful; men trembled to look on bim.His words came so thick,

Evil?The arch-Magian says the holy fire gives forth sparks of ill-omen.Wait, then, till to-morrow.Verethraghna, the Angel of Victory, will then return to your servants.\u2019 The bow-bearer led his trembling master to the royal tent, and naught more of Xerxes was seen till the morning.All that night Mardomus never slept, but went unceasingly the round of the host preparing for battle.(Glaucon saw little of him.The Athenian himeelf had been posted among the guard of nobies directly about the person of the king, and he was glad he was set nowhere else, otherwise he might have been ordered to join in the attack.Like every other in the host, he alept under arms, and@never returned to Mardohius\u2019s pavilion.His heart had been in his eyes all that day He had believed Leonidas would be swept from the pass at the first onset.Even he had underrated the Spartan prowess.The repulse of the Medes had astonished him.When Hy- darnes reeled back, he could hardly conceal his joy.The Hellenes were tight- ing! The Hellenes were conquering, He forgot he stood almost at Xerxes\u2019s side when the last charge failed; and barely in time did he save himself from joining in the shout of triumph raised by the defenders when the decimated 1mmor- tals slunk away.He had grown intensely proud of his countrymen, and when he heard the startled Persian lords mutier- ing dark forebodings of the morrow, he all but laughed his gladness in their faces.So the night passed for him; the tard earth for a bed, a water cruse wrapped in a cloak for a pillow.And just as the firet red blush stole over the green Malan bay and the mist-bung hills of Kuboea beyond, he woke with all the army.Mardonius had used the night well.Chosen contingents from every corpe were ready.Cavalrymen had been dismounted.Heavy masses of Asgyrian archers and Arabian alingers were advanced to prepare for the attack by overwhelming volleys.The Persian noblemen, stung to madness by their king's reproaches and their own sense of shame, bound themselves fearful oaths never to draw from the onset until victorious or dead.The attack itself was led by princes of the blood, royal half-brothers of the king.Xerxes sat again on the ivory throne, assured by every obsequious tongue that the sacred fire gave fair omens, that to-day was the day of vie tory.The attack was magnificent.For an instant its fury seemed to carry the Hellenes back.Where a Persian fell two stepped over him.\u2018The defenders were swept against their wall.The Barbarians appeared to be storming it.\u2018then like the tide the battle turned.The hoplites, locking shields, presented an nnpenetrable spear hedge.The charge spent iteelf in empty promise, Mardo- nius, who had been in the thickest, nevertheless drew off his men skilfully and prejared to renew the combat, In the interval Glaucon, standing by the king, could ste a shert, firm figure in black armor going ip and out among the Hellenes, ordering their array\u2014Leonidas \u2014he needed no bird to tell him.And as the Athenian stood and watched, saw i the Persians mass their files for another | battering charge, saw the Great King twist his beard whilst his gleaming eyes followed the fate of his army, an impulse nigh irresistible came over him to run one short bow-shot to that opposite array, and cry in his own Greek tongue: \u2014 - \u2018l am a Hellene, too! Look on me come to join you, to live and die with you, with my face against the Barbarian!\u2019 Cruel the fate that set him here, impotent, when on that band of countrymen Queen Nike was shedding bright glory! But he was \u2018Glaucon the Traitor\u2019 still, to be awarded - the traitor\u2019s doom by Leonidas.Therefore the \u2018 Lord Prex- aspes \u2019 must stand at his post, guarding the king of the A-yans.(To be continues.)

Then there is some-, thing against which we have to fight.Yes, the world, the flesh and the devil, ! three dangerous and subtle foes, We are: to fight the good warfare holding faith | and a good conscience.Our contlict is; with the powers of darkness.We need! the armor of righteousness, the sword of the Spirit, and the power of God.It is by the shield of faith that we are\u2019 to quench the fiery darts of the wicked one.(Eph.vi, 11, 13, 16.) Read the, epistles and learn how full they are, about faith.Faith is taking God at! His word.I believe God, then I can\u2019 remove mountains.I can overcome all difficulties, for all things are possible to, him that believes, Without faith it is impossible to please God.(Heb.xi, 6.) See faith's victories in Heb.xi, 32-1 35.The powers of evil hate faith.It! is their aim to overcome it.Even the, faith of the Lord Jesus was tested.but, He overcame with the sword of the: Spirit, the Word of God.(Matt.1v.! 1.11) The Lord used the sword.imi tate Him.Resist the devil, and he will flee.(Jas.iv., 7.)

\u2018No,\u2019 answered Rosamond, examining a minute dent on the handle of her Lro- quet mallet.\u2018She says she didn't sleep | very well last night, and teels tired.\u201d \u2018Oh, 1 see\u2019 said Charles, briskly.\u201cThen you and I will play against each other, and take two balls each\u2019 , \u2018You don't seem at all sorry to hear that Aunt Angela had a bad night\u2019 \u2018Yes, l am.1 believe I'm as fond ot hd: as you are) \u2018Next to father and mother she's simply the dearest person In the world, sald Rosamond emphatically.\u2018Hum\u2014yes,\u201d murmured Charles, who did not seem to show unqualified approval vf te last statement.\"By the wa, who is that fellow with the brown Face and grey hair on the seat by her side\u201d \u2018Oh, that's Mr.Calverton, who's been staying with te fc a few days.He was « great friend ol father's when they were both boys, and since that time he seems to have spent most of his life travelling about the world.shooting big game, and that sort of thing.\u2019 \u2018I notice that he always ealls aunt \u201cAngela.\u201d\u201d\u2019 \u2018Yes and she calls him \u2018Wilham\u201d; they were so much together when they were children.Do you know, Charles, I think Aunt Angela was rather fond of him\u2014that is, à long while ago, when she was quite a gl\u201d \u201cThen why didn\u2019t she marry him\u201d \u2018What a ridiculous question! I don\u2019t suppose he ever asked her to.Really.Charles.vou seem more stupid than usual this afternoon, Come on, let's begin, or we shall never have time to finish the game before dinner.\u201d Aunt Angela raised her eyes from her faney work, and gazed thoughtfully acroes the lawn from under the shady brim of her garden hat.\u2018Are vou sure you wouldn't rather have joined in the game, Witham?she asked.\u2018Wit vour \u2018Quite he answered, taising a lean, brown \u2018hand to administer a twist to the end of hig grey moustache.I don't think I've played croquet since the days when it was 1 blue\u20141 red, 2 blue\u20142 red, and so on.By the way, these colored balls are simply a return to a former fashion.Don't yon remember that very old croquet set you once had, all the balls of which were different colors, and the peg a sort of perpendicular rainbow?\u2018Yes, I remember it well.Every ball had its own particular mallet, and to have played with a yellow ball using the mallet belonging to blue would have been regarded as altogether contrary to the proper conduct of the game, 1 recollect that I always chose the pink ball, though I can't imagine now why that color should have had such a particular attraction.\u2018And TI always took the black\u2014the color of the pirate\u2019s flag.It was always my delight to get through the last hoop before anyone else.and then be a rovslr, as we called it.Ah, well, you see even at that carly age the vagabond Instinct began to prevail.\u2019 Aunt Angela smiled and did not reply till she had threaded her needle with a fresh skein of silk.\u2018T remember well enough how my heart sank at that shout of yours\u2014*\u2018I'm a rover!\u201d You roamed \u2018round the lawn wrecking people\u2019s hopes, and reducing them almost to tears.1t was no use drawing mystic eigns on the turf with the handle of one\u2019s mallet between one\u2019s own ball and yours, for you never missed.But I remember one afternoon 1 pegged you out, and so cut short you'r evil career.Oh.you were angry, William; I believe for two pins you'd have boxed my ears!\u2019 \u2018My dear Angela, what a graceless voung ruffian you must imagine me to have been! But ves, I think I do re member the incident you mention.\u2018You were always such a dead shot there was no escaping vou.\u2019 \u2018Well.there's some advantage in having a stiaight eye, for if I hadn\u2019t been blessed with one I certainly shouldn\u2019t be sitting here this afternoon.Hum\u2014 1 \u2018| shaped hoops,\u2019 she replied.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS almost think I could play as well now as our young friend Charles; that\u2019s the third easy shot I\u2019ve scen him miss in the last five minutes.\u2019 \u2018 Aunt Angela \u2018had also been watching the game, but with a more sympathetic eye; in fact, the badness of the play seemed to arouse in her mo feeling of surprise.\u2019 \u2018In our day,\u201d continued her companion, \u2018there was a thing called \u201ctight dro- quet,\u201d which I understand is no longer permitted.It was rather a popular feature in the game I fancy for a girl who happened to possess a pretty foot There was a scarcely audible ecrape on the gravel, as though due to some 1n- voluntalry drawing back of Aunt Angela\u2019s shoe.\u2018I must say I prefer the old, bow- \u2018They were much more merciful than these narrow, modern things.They seem to me in a was typical of a more exacting age.Our own youth, I fancy, was spent in more easy-going times; and I .often sigh at the thought of how difficult it seems for the young folk now to get even their first firm footing on the ladder of lite.Her eyes wandered back again to the two croquet players.who appeared now to be discussing some knotty point in their game.\u2018The man beside her followed the direction of her gaze.\u2018Angela,\u2019 he said suddenly, \u2018 wouldn't mind betting jou a pair of gloves that that young fellow yonder is making love to your niece.\u2018Nonsense, William; I'm sure he\u2019s doing nothing of the sort,\u2019 answetred Aunt Angela promptly; a remark which the recording angel no doubt tound it convenient not to hear.There was a pause, broken at length by the eun-burned traveller.\u2018John must feel like getting an old man when he looks at that young lady, and remembers she\u2019s his daughter.\u201d \u2018Then how about mysélf?Yow seem to forget that I'm her godmother, and held her in my arms when she was christened.\u2019 \u2018You!\u2014why you don't look a day older than when I saw you last.Now as for me, with my grey poll\u2014 « \u2018My dear William, a man is as old as he feels; and you know we were telling you last night that you're nothing but an overgrown schoolboy.\u2019 Her last remark seemed to strike him as a pleasing corpliment.He laughed, gave another tug at his moustache, and then fell into a reverie.\u2018Our young friends have apparently abandoned their game in favor of a tete- a-tete stroll through the shrubbery,\u201d he said at length.\u201cThey\u2019ve gone down to the pond to look at the gold fish, 1 expect; murmured Aunt Angela demurely.\u2018Oh, I see,\u2019 said the travellct.Rising from his seat he strolled across the lawn, and, picking up a mallet, began making shots with the balls, His lithe, active figure did certainly appear absurdly boyish; and as Aunt Angela watched him she smiled; then, turning towards the shrubbery, her face grew thoughtful and a trifle sad.\u2018I hope there is no disappointment in store for little Rosamond,\u201d she said to herself.Time passed, and the rover seemed to be getting back some of hi old skill with the mallet.A step sounded on the gravel path; Aunt Angela glanced up from her work, and then rose to her feet.Charles halted in front of her.There was hairdly any necessity for him to speak, for his face told plainly what had happened.\u2018I want you to be the first to congratulate me, he said.\u2018Rosamond has promised to be my wife.\u2018My dear boy, you can\u2019t think how glad I am to hear it She caught both his hands in hers, and pressed them warmly.They were standing , close beside a big, standard rose tree; the traveller had considerately knocked one of the balls off the lawn, and was hunting for it amid the laurels, with smothered ejaculations in a heathen tongue.The garden seemed very still and empty.Charles cast a hurried glance around.\u2018Aunt Angela,\u2019 he said.\u2018You won't mind\u2014I\u2014I'm going to kiss you.\u2019 \u2018So you shall, my dear,\u2019 she answered.\u2018I\u2019m sure no one will be jealous of your kissing an old woman like me, not even Rosamond.\u2019 A hollow cough\u2019 came firom the opposite side of the lawn.Charles fled precipitately towards the house; while, a moment later, the traveller came lounging in a casual way across the turf.\u2018I'll play you a game, Angela,\u201d he remarked.She glanced up at the sun, already glowing red in the tree-tops, then fumbled with the watch chain at her belt.\u2018I'm afraid it\u2019s too late now,\u2019 she an- gwelred.\u2018No, don't say that\u2019 he responded hastily, and as though something in her reply had turned his thoughts into a fresh channel.\u2018It can\u2019t be too late while we're both young in heart.Look here, I saw you kissing that boy behind the rose bush!\u2019 EE HERE IS A PRESCRIPTION \u2018William!\u2019 ejaculated Aunt Angela, faintly.; \u2018Yes, I saw you,\u2019 he continued, \u2018Oh, I know well enough what's happencd; and now these young folk have gone into the house, if you won't play à game with me, l\u2019m going to ask you to do something else.\u2019 Her lips moved as though to form some question; the color vanished from her cheek; and, looking down into her gentle eyes, he caught the spalrkle of unshed tears.; \u2018| want to ask you he continued, drawing her unresisting arm within lus own, \u2018to walk down through the shrubbery.and look at the gold fish in the pond.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014p\u2014\u2014\u2014 THB MAN-RATERS OF TSAVO, The mighty hunter, Selous, in his preface to Colonel Patterson's account of his adventures with \u2018The Man-Eaters of Tsavo\u2019 says: \u2018No liom story I have ever read or heard equals in \u2018its long- sustained and dramatic interest the story of the Tsavo man-eaters as told by Colonel Patterson.\u2019 Colonel Patterson himself in his introduction to this astonishing story says: \u2018Two most voracious and insatiable man-eating lions appeared upon the scene, and for over nine months waged an Intermittent warfare against the Uganda railway and all those connected with it in the vicinity of Tsavo.This culminated in a perfect reign of terror in December, 1898, when they actually succeeded in bringing the railway work to a complete stand for about three weeks.\u2019 ; Ungan Singh, a powerful Sikh, was lying asleep alongside his chum in a tent when at midnight \u2018the lion suddenly put its head in at the open tent door and seized Ungan Singh\u2014who happened to be nearest\u2014by the throat.The unfortunate fellow cried out \u2018 Choro! \u2014 Let go! \u2019\u2014and threw his arms round the lion\u2019s neck.The next moment he was gone, and his panic-stricken companion lay helpless, listening to the terrible struggle which took place outside!\u2019 \u2018In the whole of my life.\u2019 writes Colonel Patterson, \u2018I have never experienc- cree ESS RETR - CSSS ns es = MN: Chas Furs of Perfect Design and Careful Workmanship, We have in store a great variety of all the latest styles and all kinds of Furs at very moderate prices.Ÿ LIBERAL REDUCTIONS DURING JANUARY à We make a specialty of Electric Seal Coats, carefully made, good quality, at .WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF THESE COATS IN STOCK READY-MADE.All our Furs are made with the greatest care from the choicest skins, as if made to order, and we spare nothing to attain perfection in style and finish.This is how we can ensure entire satisfaction io all our clients.Desjardins & 485 St.Catherine Street East, Corner St.Timothy.- - $25.00 A THERSDAY, JANUARY U3, my paticnts.\u201d\u2019 Be gium.ed anything more nerve-shaking than to hear the deep roar of those dreadful monsters growing gradually nearer and nearer, and to know that somecne or other of us was doomed to be their victim before morning dawn.Once they reached the vicinity of the camps the roars completely ceased, and we knew then that they were stalking for their prey.Shouts would then pass from camp to camp, \u2018 Khabar, dar, chaieon, Shaitun ata!\u2019 (* Beware, brothers, the Devil is coming! \u2019}; but the warning cries would prove of no avail, and sooner or later agonizing shrieks would break the silence, and another man would be miss ing from the roll-call next morning.\u2019 When Colonel Patterson, on a rickety platform twelve feet high, waited one night for one of these man-eaters to seize the bait laid for him and to shout the brute while in the act of seizing it.lie was horritied to find that he himself was the prey the lion was bent on se- | \u2018The lion began steulthily to;

For about two hours he horrified me by slowly creeping round and round my crazy structure, gradually edging his way nearer and nearer.\u201d Before the brute could spring upon him, however, the Colonel at last zaintly descried his fôrm in the pitehy darkness, and fired a shot which finished him.\u2014p THE NEW FOREST AND ITS OFFICERS.The New Forest has a new chief ver- derer.We have called the torest \u2018new since 1079, and in some sense it 1s sUli new, changing, like other reguns, with the times; but one of its chiet offivers has a name so old that it is unbeard outside Hampshire, and but little undur- stood within it.Yet the verderer 1s mentioned and given special functions in an act of parhament as late as 1902.His duty, as there described, 1s to exact compensation from any one who shoud interfere with the rights of the common: ers of the forest and apply the money to their advantage.In this, as in other changes In law.time has mellowed all the use and custom that belongs to this most English corner of England.The verderer him- «li was always a sort of magistrate.He left to lower officials, such as the turest- ers and agisters, the preservation of vert, venery,, and pasturage; but be was in the old days less a dispenser of justice than a justice who saw to the punishment of natives who interfered with the cruel rights of excessive privilege\u2014who, in the old phrase, disturbed \u2018the highest franchise of priestly pleasure.How grim and rough the punishment was may still be seen in the Verderer's Hall, at Lyndhurst, well described us the capital of the New Forest.lhe primitive stocks in which the culprit wax tixed stand there in front of the verder- er's bench as eolid as ever, being rough hewn out of the best forest oak.Lhe man\u2019s case was too often settled beture he uttered nis plea, it he had so much courage; and should the verderers decide that he must go before the last of the three forest courts, maiming or death was as probable a verdict as any, To-day mo land in England 1» more loved or valued by the natives than this hunting ground of the Angevin Kings.Che wild creatures are still there, the red deer is still hunted, the winged game 1s shot, the ponies run wid, but the forest, including all its parts, its tracks of woodland or of moorland or of glade or ot grass, now gives a certain freedom ot life and sense of ownership to all who live within the circle of its 70.000 acres.Queen Victoria, who greatly delighted iu this unspoiled angle of old England, sent down to the forest two pure-bred Arab ponies to keep fine and pure the wild stock.You may sce anv day about the forest ponies showing the tine head and intelligent eve of the Arab, and from such visible qualities come no small wealth to the torest people.Crown officers, still known as they used to be by the name agisters, mark the ponies, round them up at fixed intervals, and under their superiors preserve the people's rights and register ownership, The forest has many trades.You may see any day during the present week carts, their carrying capacity lengthened and broadened by sloping takes, being drawn by forest ponies to Lyndhurst Road station with their huge burden of holly sheaves.Lhe greater part of the verried holly seen before Christmas in Covent Garden is cut by crown foresters and sold at a penny a sheaf to the Hampshire laborers, who add to the gavety ot their own and other Christmases by \u2018thus little harvest.One is almost tempted to think, in passing through a country go \u2018poor\u2019 as the farmer would call the New Forest, that the worse the land she happier the people.Forest rights, which include leave to cut turf and gather wood and run animals, are a vital eource of comfort and interest to village people.In other parts of the country than the forests fields are rough and barren enough, but they are in the contro] of one man, who atones for the disuse ot the soil by paying diminishing rent.Round Lyndburst many parts of The soil are poor enough; water is caught in the hollows and soaks into feet of rotten leat.age, so that even a native ponv can scarcely avoid collapse and even drowning.The trees on some slopes are gnarled and twisted into gargoyle shapes, Mess and lichen paint blotches of shade and shine up to the summit of the trunks.In Canada \u201cBOVRIL\u2019 is sold by Dealers everywhere, and is even more needed on account of the very variable climate than it is in cenclosure, ip on adopted ba tir From the Battlefield of Water, A prominent medical man of Waterloo, Belgium, writes: ¢lfrequently recommend ¢ BOVRIL\" to Druggists and Gorse and holly ura land you would sus < Get.beats.Ali attomgpt.failed.Lariy 1m auteur WCNT to fanune prie land was mn places plough tvok the the soil reused - ment.It had been wie; trees than to grow !
