success was assured.The only cause for anxiety was the liability to think only of material success and might forget there are other forms of success quite as important.Montreal should be a good city to live in, a city where health, sobriety and good government can be found.Newcomers should be prepared to take part in the city's life and endeavor to make a healthier, holier city.Quebec was a model of a province, with two peoples trying to do their duty.Men who were not should feel that public opinion was against them, Newcomers were wanted to support their wives and families and to use their influence towards getting good, clean and righteous government.Mr.Ames said he believed Canada would remain an - integral part.of the British Empire, and that people would be bound by as strong ties as if they were residents of the British Islands.Must Not Forget.The Rev.Dr.Sullivan said that Montreal was a fine «ity to live in, and offered fine scope fur the man who was willing to work.New arrivals were not asked to forget the past, but they must cultivate an appreciative spirit.They would find in Canada reward for brain and muscle.Above all they must put their trust in Almighty God; by not recognizing such trust they would be making a great mistake, The Rev.Dr.Sparling sal dhe well remembered his first Christmas away from home and the nursery connected with it.Bveryone should identify ;

but there was a high standard set, and that was in development of character.Eports should be made to preserve the traditions of the Christian faith, .New arrivals were warned against gighing if things were not jus tas they were at home.Changed conditions required changed habits, and they should adapt themselves.They would then enjoy the greater freedom provided by the new country than is found in the old and with its conventionatities and neces- sarlly cramped conditions His Lordship added that if the Dominion is to be made a power in the Empire, and the world, the character of our men and women must be formed on the standard of Christ, the standard of the land from which we have sprung.The Rev.Dr.Pedley urged his listeners not to regard themselves as strangers.They could not do so when they entered a country where the language, institutions, religions and methods of business were their own.The, Rev .Mr.Screed spoke on the neceasity of being staunch to church in the new land, while the Rev.Mr.Birk pressed home the need for complete adaptability on the part of the new arrival \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CALL FOR NEW TENDERS Three Rivers, Dec.28\u2014 The Government heve called for new tenders for the construction of the new public building to be erected here.The contract who recently tendered for the work have had their Geposits returned to them.\u2018 \u2014prarenmtem THREE WERE DROWNED, Brest, France, Dec, 28.\u2014 -The figh- ing boat \u2018Ferdinand and.Marie\u2019 sank during trance to the Lannion River.Three members of her crew were drowned, ment or municipal@jobs, declaring they.Ha had voted all round the compass, the | the storm yesterday at the en-' DEVELOPING THE \u2018WITNESS Some Notable Improvements for the Comiug New Year The publishers have received many congratulations upon recent improve- the Our readers may be assured ments and enlargement of the paper.that the improvements are only just beginning.Watch us next year!

Bishop Farthing, in a letter to\u2019 the Anglicans of Montreal, urges that New.Year's Eve should not be made an occasion for unseemly revelries, but rather for serious reflection.The letter reads: - \u2018My dear brethren: \u2014The passing of the ofd year, though not a church festival, is a eclemn time.Bocial customs have a strong hold upon us, for we are all soclal beings.The practice of \u201cseeing the New Year in\" with our | friends, is one which no one would condemn, Bo long as the pleasures are innocent and seemly;

Mrs.R.W.Henderson, probation officer of the Juvenile Court and one of the best knowp social workers in Montreal.° Though not direetly connected with | any of \u2018the city\u2019s many organizations fer the distribution\u2019 of charity, Mrs.Henderson's work in connection with the Juvenile Court gives her many opportunities of | acquiring intimgte \u2018Knowledge of actual conditions in J hames of Mohtreal\u2019s poor, and some her experiences during the past few days show tHe necessity of radical reform in the methods adopted at this season for the relief of the needy: |, T saw many small children absetute- ly loaded down with stuff which they ¢ uld not use, whilt others more de- sérving, perhaps, were left without anything,\u201d said Mrs.Henderson.In this connection she told of one family in a poor district, consisting of father, mother.and one child, which had re- -céived a key, à go08e, a ham, a round of beéf and other food.This was so much moté than was required that gome of the meat went bad and was thrown out, while more of it was given to neighbors who did not need charity.In another house she visited the day after Christmas she found a coupie of dogs having a dalicious meal off a turkey which had started to decompose, owing to the family\u2019s inability to eat or preserve it.When questioned on this stræege incident the mother.of the house replied: \u2018We have got all we need of it and I've got another turkey ready to cook.\u2019 Mrs, Henderson told the story of a little boy who, on Thursday evening was given some ice cream, but ceuld not.eat it as he had been at five big teas during the day.Another boy living on East Dorchester street went all the way to Verdun to attend.a Christmas tree, this being part of a regular round of such festivals he had attended.In one of the small streets off St.Lawrence Boulevard lives a family reduced to temporary want solely through the selfishness of the father who spends on drink what should go to the support of the household.When his little daughter asked for boots, which she badly needed this unworthy parent totd her to wait for the Chriat- mas trees off which she could get them, and advised his boys to watch out for skates and other things which could.be got from the same source.Certain families have.Christmas getting reduced to à.fine art, according to Mrs.Henderson.Cases came to her notice where the father, mother and four or five children each belonged to a different mission, Sunday school, or other source from which relief could be had.Thus they wera enabled to get Xmas supplies five or six times over.- In contrast to this Mrs.Henderson visited several deserving poor families on Thursday and Friday and found they had been completely overiooked.For these reasons she is atrongly in favor of the establishment of a Central bureau for Christmas distribution, where the various charitable organizations could keep track ot one anothers\u2019 work so that there should be rio over-lapping.Each person needing relief could register at this bureau, the case would be inquired into and if relief were really needed it could be given in a rational way.\u201cThe churches must sink their individuality in this matter of Christmas charity before the tremendous waste now going on can be prevented,\u2019 added Mrs.Henderson.Far more beneficial to the deserving poor than turkeys and plum puddings were, she thought the coal, wood, clothing and blankets distributed by the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society and one or two other organizations which used commendable dlscretion in distributing relief this Christmas.; pr CANON TROOP AT THE NORTH BRANCH Y.M.C.A.i Canon.G.Osborne Troop, of St.Mar- tan\u2019 Church, will be the speaker at © orth Branch Y.M.C.A.Men\u2019smeet- ing to-morrow.-afternoon at 4.16.Mesars.Tarlton brothers will sing, and the association orchestra will be in\u2019 attendance.AN men are cordialiy in- - vitod.: RETURNED .TO PUTY.of * Inmpegtor O'Keefe, Chief of the-Mor- >prity Sqüad, returned to duty last night ter four days\u2019 sickness, still suffering a sore throat, the result of a cold contracted during the.wet weather of (Witness\u2019 Staff Correspondence.) Sherbrooke, Dec.28.\u2014 At yesterday afternoon\u2019s session, before Mr.Justice Cross, of the Royal Commission on the Revision of the License Law, a number of other speakers from various parts of the Eastern Townships were heard in favor of important reforms in connection with the sale of liquor.Throughout the day there was the greatest unanimity shown by the different speakers.Some emphasized certain reforms more than others, but all endorsed practically everything in the list of amendments drawn up by the Dominion Alliance and the Anti-Alco- hollc League, and presented to the Commission at Mentreal some time ago.That the Catholic Church is interested in the matter was shown by the statement of Mr.Morkill, Collector of Provincial Revenue for this district, that he was frequently informed by the curés out in the parishes of infractions of the law, REFORMS NEEDED.The reforms most needed, according to the various speakers, were the abolition of the grocers\u2019 liquor licenses, the keeping of licenses away from schools, factories and drill halls, much severer punishment for violations of the law and the appointment of special law- enforcement officers, and the stopping of C.0.D, deliveries in local option districts, or the prevention of liquor going in at all.The Rev.Isaac Norman, Lennox- ville, the first speaker in the afternoon, said the safety and efficiency of the workingmen would be safeguarded if hotels were not given licenses near factories or mills.There should be special government officers to enforce the law, and some means sBould also be found of compelling municipal constables to do their duty.He knew of one very much in sympathy with the liquor business, he had a son a bartender, and one could not expect much from him.It was not always that the temperance people got the best treatment from the provincial revenue officers.The latter should be chosen carefully, and should be in sympathy with the motives of the temperance people.Their efforts to prosecute men for violation of the law also should be encouraged and not hampered.The speaker then referred to the \u2018famous fifty-nine\u2019 Sherbrooke men connected with -the liquor business, who, he said, at the time of the vote on local option in Lennoxville last April, secured the deed to a property in Lennoxville valued at 38,000 two } weeks before the voting, had thelr names- put on the roll, and voted agsinat 2ocat optidh, and helped to dr- feat af Mitie law Feu be changed, = = a , ki.that only resident eleeto:s could vote on local option.He also advodanted-severer penalties for violation of the law, and imprisonment for those who persisted in: doing so.Jac LOCAL OPTION.20° Ra .x SATISFACTORY&Y Speaking for the Deiyille Citizens\u2019 League, the Rev.W,

Coun- ell that four years had elapsed since the Government at Ottawa had vo a certain sum for the construction of a new post office in the town, but that nothing had been done so far in the matter.He thought the Government was not treating the people of Mai- sonneuve fairly in this matter.Half a million dollars had just been appropriated to make certain improvements in the Quebec post office, but

General Rosalle Jones and her marching suffragettes, who are bearing a message to Gover- nor-elect Sulzer at Albany, decided to push on in the dark last evening for another three miles from Pine Tree Inn to Niverville.There it was de- clded to return to the Inn for the night, and the commissary car took them back.This morning they were driven to Niverville, and there they took up their walk again, hoping to cover the remaining twelve miles into Albany this afternoon.8 A.CHRISTMAS DINNER TO FIVE HUNDRED MEN.alvation Army gave a Christ- hen mer to £00 men at the Hotel Me- tropole on St.Alexander

Dec.28.\u2014 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, speaking on \u2018History of Literature\u2018 in Symphony Hall last night, addressed members of six national associations now holding conventions here.He discussed at considerable length the art of the historian from the standpoints of science, 2 poetry, mythology and literature, argu- \u2019 ing that history should welcome the entrance upon its domain of every science and that future historians should make use of material from every possible source to convey vivid .and life-like pictures to others of the past whose secrets they lay bare.The great historian of the future, he declared, would be the man who had the genius to reconstruct for his readers the immense panaroma of the past.He must possess knowledge and wisdom.He must use his material with sueh potent wizardry \u2018that we shall see the life that was and not the death that is.Whether it be Bgypt, or- Mesapotamia, or Scandinavia with which he deals, the great historian, if the facts permit him, will put before us the men and women as.they actually lived so that we shall recognize them for what they were, living beings.\u2019 A.A .Dem a my fe pme inde + 1 1 AMIE ati im ee vp

referendum which this paper is taking upon the thirteen leading questions of the day.The pile of ballots grows larger every mail The ballots, are filled, in .no up \u2018haphazard or narrow party manner.This is evidenced by the sharp division of opinion on such controversial \u2018questions as the navy, free trade In natural products, and the extending of the franchise to women.It was not intended to limit this referendum to those who happen to be regular \u2018Witness\u2019 readers.one who is over 21 and who gets a Any- ballot is entitled to vote.This is a free country, governed by the people whose will it is most necessary their representatives should know.The \u2018Witness\u2019 will make no use whatever of the names written on the ballots; they are simply required as evidence of good faith.We wish to make the referendum as wide a one as possible, and to help us in this we want every adult, man or woman, to mark a ballot.Another indication of the keen interest being taken in the \u2018Witness\u2019s\u2019 plebiscite is shown by the letters that have reacheg the office since the announcement first appeared.The questions have set many readers definitely to make a decision on questions that they had previously only casually thought of.I think,\u2019 writes an old subscriber, from Sir James Whitney's home town, Dundas, Ont., \u2018that you have chosen thirteen very important questions for an expression of public opinion, which will most likely prove very satisfactory to.our public men in Par- tiament and the Legislatures of the country.\u2019 e .e \u20181 am not yet convinced,\u201d writes another man, \u2018that we ought to have a Canadian navy.For when a person puts himself in a position to fight some one is ready to fight him, and as far I see now a Canadian navy would only provoke war.As to the German scare, it i8 the, verlest nonsense and is got up for political purposes only.\u2019 ; es + +% \u2018If al! public works could be put under the

containe e large amount of clay you could expect reasonable success by following this method.Anctlier way of sowing timothy and farmer, 1s to sow the wheat in the fall \u2018and add the clover and timothy in the spring after the land hes thawed out and the surface become dry.The plan.is to sow the ciover and timothy combined at thie time by using a peg tooth harrow, \u2018Which not only covers the seed, but cultivates the wheat at the same time, The timothy will not show .up much the first season, but you ought to get a good crop of clover and the -timothy will come on later.Either of the latter two methods ought to give you fairly good returns.I we expect to leave this field seeded down for any length of time it would be à good plan to add two or three pounds of Bluegrass seed when sowing the timothy.GIVE FARM A CHANCE Some valuable information has been collected by Mr.F.C.Nunnick, of the Commission of Conservatidn, concern- kept on farms in parts of the Prairie Provinces.These form an interesting contrast with oonditions in Ontario.A farm survey was made this summer in Southern Alberta in which flfty farms were visited.It was found that on these fifty farms, which aggregated 23,000 acres, that one cow was kept for: every 130 acres; one brood sow for every 160 acres; one sheep for every 1,300 acres, and just enough horses to do the work It was also found that 83 percent of the grain reised was sold away from the farms, and that ninety percent of the farmers burn most of their straw on thelr farms.- \u2018In the district of Stavely, Al said \"Mr.Nunnick, \u2018we fouhd weeds \u2018very bed, although the district is only PE Cw \\ \u201c clover, but one which requires a Uttie- more judgment on the past of the | ing the number of head of Hive stock | Qe ye AT a1 ety ew vg nine y old.The crops are not good after the less the land is summer fallowed very well worked.Al this information was obtained by & oollection of information appointed and who made personal visits to the farms.\u2019 R kept in comparison with Ontario, Mr.Nunnick produced figures from à survey of fifty das County, where the average xize was 105 acres.The Hve stock carried on these farms averaged for 15 milch cows, young cattle and hogs fattened annuslly.These figures show that in Dundas County one cow is kept for every seven acres of land, while in the part of Alberta where the farm survey.was made only one cow was kept for every 130 acres.Another survey was made in Lanark County, Ont, of fifty farms en bloc, - as In the other cases.Thess were found to average 157 ecres.Twelva milch cows and 22 head of young cattle wers kept on each farm as an average and 16 pigs were fattened an- nuaily.L rr OPEN AND SMALL.TOP MILKING PANS.Contamination of milk begins with the milking.If the adder and flanks of the cow are coated with dirt and filth of the yard and stable, the process of milking will dislodge more or less of the filth, causing it to fall into the milk pail.* The extent to which milk is contaminated in this way depends upon the amount of dirt on the flanks and udder of the cow and upon the size of the opening into the milk pail In Bulletin 48 of the Storrs (Conan.) \"Experiment Station, Stocking describes sbacteriologtical tests made with a qum- ber of covered palls at the college barns, He found that the milk from the open pail contained 61-2 times as many bacteria zs mik from the same cows when: the - mere - tba + ans.oo oi A a avn inhi ithas al.Cs Career eB rims ne are a = Be an Phd EN - «Tie a >, FARE or gm pre Re da ce i .ss i es tés EE Le Ré nai ai ses i eo ki td os vor ml » ro 8rd.Victoria Rifies.2 On New Years Day the View whil hold \u2018open house\u2019 from 10 morning to 1 in the afternoom.The officers, non-commissioned officers, and men wil receive in their respective quarters at the armory, and will be pleased to see their friends present.It is needless to ad that à re time will await those who ac- eupt the hospitality of the restent It is expected that tecruit classes will be resumed uring toe first part of January Over 90 markamen took part In the first indoor winter shoot held Satordsy evening.Somd etouption-} ally fine shooting was done, and aug ing dy the scores as a whole, the t \u2018Vics\u2019 laurels in this respect metiousiy guarded during the - .coming inter-regimental shoot, First Srenadier Guards, From 10.30 a.m.New Year's Day, the officers and te: ned officers of the re giment will be \u2018at home\u2019 in their respective messes at the Dril Hall.The meg of the regiment will receive.n, the fecreation room.\u201c À \u2018hearty in- Is extended to ths friends of = members of the regiment to ref Éthes.marok I, \u2018ag, ep » à GF theas Vintouis, Binge.od from ragiyiont at\u2019 ler th Lieut, Duvdrifte- nas cebu A cor tificate of qualification, of ie present.the regiment are Tote cordially invited, On Tuesday.night the indoor base- dal!

so, \u201che dressed himself in a tramp\u2019s costume and went in this diss guise from door to door, asking for food and a night's lodging; but door after door only opened to him long enough for him to hear the words,\u2014 \u2018No;

ut we are almost too old to take Se proper care of him, but the same Lord, who careth for you, will care for the babe, and as everything worketh together for good for those who love God, we will still trust Him.The visitor was visibly affected and almost overcome, but said, \u2018Wiil you allow me.to ge God-father to this babe?She looked at him bewildered yet with tenderness replied, \u2018Oh, a God-father must become responsible for the child for whom he stands, you could not undertake to be that,\u2019 he said somewhat his hand in his pocket withdrew Fe it a sovereign and placed it in the pabe's hand, saying, :God bless your little boy\u2019;

being informed that it was the same he returned to the carriage; a gentleman and a lady then \u2018emterad the cottage, in a very few mo-, ments the gentleman convinted the aged couple that he was the same person whom they had entertained some nights before; and, he had returned to fulfill his promise and become not:only.Godfather to the babe, but a frien to them throughout the balance of their lives.He removed them fo a cottage on his own es'ate, cared for them nd their grandchildren, but especial- I for the babe whom he in reality be- persuasively, \u2018Perhaps, I might\u2019 put-|- R.DUNCAN, LIMITED, / PUBLIC NOTION EL dered given that under the First tutes Pot cape 10 5% pa Sec EA Companies\u2019 Act,\u201d letters v: \u20ac have béen issued under the Seal of the Sac- retary of State of Canada, bearing date the 16th day of December, 1913, 8 ncor- porating ona nan .and_ David \u2018ldupean, meyalants;

, The City Engineer's Department is engaged in making a deep study of the problem of traction locomotion in the city, and it may evolve in the near future a by-law regulating the size of the wheels to the load carried and other rational provisions to enable heavy traffic to be conducted through the streets without interfering with the public and creating a nuisance.Owing to the traversing of a number of streets day by day by these heavy steam trucks with their iron wheels, the pavement in a number of sections has been completely ruined, and it will cost a considerable sum to repair.v THE BOYS FARM Sete ecs te edt Ors eccovvisovoowr er money order payable to Se rnob as se divInes see ssssassesrctnne - 006804000065 0300090000000000 Your Money Back if you do not eat and enjoy HARRISON'S DUTCH LOAF BECAUSE We keep the quality up.=: your grocer or Tel.Mount GAME IN CHINA.(From \u2018Baily\u2019's Magu: = T immediate neighborho kin has been long since alm.si of game.The Chinese are ++ hunters, and as there are ne laws, nor is the carrying «I hibited, they work their w : on winged and ground game a.\" Pekin, too, owing to the n: foreigners, there is a large -~ increasing market for game.There is thus every induerme\u201d\u201d the Chinaman to slay all and thing.The sportsman has, the: to betake himself some little di» afleld before he can hope for => This .is not a difficult matter in * 6 .o , \u2018days of railways, and when once from the proximity of the foreig™ \u2018foreign devil,\u2019 as the Chinese J term him, he can enjoy excellen: and plenty of exercise.In Chi.be found a far greater variety 7 ered game than in most of th\" tries to which one's good for\u2019 lead.As is well known, China, or tral Flowery Kingdom, as iis call it, is the original home 0° *\u201d mon pheasant, and from whi during my journeyings in N and Western China, there is \u201d of its becoming even scar: \u201d years to come.In a few days\u2019 hunt In the °° of Bhansl the total of a «| mixed bag was 119 head cons: 45 pheasants, 25 partridges, 4 4 snipe, 9 ducks, 16 pigeons, 4 hares and 4 sand grouse.Th gives a fairly good idea of «\" be expected almost anywhere © away from the foreign concess- hauts of the white man.Che Ei ani SL 0 es.lay 89 25 re Ne FL Larly -PZTAM ratulations, Nom \u2014 LS THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1912 The Adventures of Cra always seemed strange to no one has ever endowed a he in criminal science in vir .arge universities.\u2019 a«nnedy laid down his even- ald there be a chair in cence?I remarked argu- v I\u2019ve done my turn at iquartets reporting, and 1 wu, Craig, it's no place for vrofessor.Crime is just dl us for dealing with it, -i>ctive is born and bred .+ze professors for the so- \u201c+ thing, yes;

perhaps it had been also soaked with water.There was a wash basin with running water in this room.The.ink had run, and of course was illegible.\u2018The thing was so unusual that I at once assumed that this was the remains of the note in question.Under ordinary circumstance: it would be utterly valueless as = clue to anything.But to-day \u2019cience is not ready to let anything pass as valueless.\u2018I found on miscroscopic examination that it was an uncommen linen bond paper, and I had taken a large number of microphotographs of the fibres in it.They are all similar.I have here also about a hundsed microphotographs- of the fibres in other kinds of paper, many of them bonds.These I have accumulated from time to time in my study.of the subject.None of them, as you can see, shows fibres resembling this ope in question, so we may oon- clude that it is of uncommon quality.\u2018\u2019Fhrough an agent of the police I have secured gamples of the note paper of every one \u2018who could be concerned, as far as I could see, with this casb.Here are the photographs of the fibres of these v:rious note papers, and among them all is just one that corresponds to the fibre~ in the vw ' mass of paper I discovered in the scrap- basket.I think it is almost unnecessary to add that in the present case we Afdow precisely who\u2014 3 Bua.Miss La _Neige, who Ninn.estde \u2018me, hdd been léan- ing.forward involuntarily.Almost as if the words were wrung from her she whispered hoarsely: They put me up to doing it; T didn\u2019t want-to.But the affair had gon tro far.I couldn\u2019t see him lost before my very eyes.I didn\u2019t want her to get him, The quickest way out was to tell the: hole story to Mr.Parker and stop it.\u2018It \u2018was the only way I could think of: to stop this thing between another man\u2019s wife and the man I loved better than my own husband.God Knows, Professor Kennedy, that was all\u2014 \u2018Calm yourself, madame,\u2019 interrupted Kennedy soothingly.\u2018Calm yourself.- What's done is done.The truth must come out.Be cal., \u2018Now, he continued, \u2018we have said nothing whatever of the most mysterious féature of the case, the firing of the shot.The murderer could have thrust the weapon into the pocket or the folds of this coat\u2019\u2014here he drew forth the automobile coat and held \u2018t aloft, displaying the bullet hole\u2014'and he or she (I will not say which) could have discharged the pistol unseen.\u2018By removing and secreting the weapon afterward one very important piece of evidence would be suppressed.This person could have used such a \u2018cartridge as I have here, made with smokeless powder, and the coat would have concealed the flash of the shot very effectively.There would have heen no smoke.But neither this coat nor even a heavy blanket would have deadened the report of the shot.\u2018What are we to think of that?Only one thing.There is an invention that makes it almost possible to strike a man down with impunity in broad daylight in any place where there is sufficient nolse to cover up a click, a slight \u2018Pouf! and .he whir of the bullet in the air.\u2018I refer to.this little device of a Hartford inventor.I place it cover the muzzle of the thirty-two calibre revolver I have so far been using\u2014 so.Now, Mr.Jameson, if you will sit at that typewriter over there and write\u2014anything so 1 ng as you Keep the kevs clicking.The inspector wil] start that imitation stock-ticker in the corner.\u2018Now we are ready.I cover the pistol with a cloth.I defy any one in this room to tell me the exact moment when I discharged the pistol.I could have shot any of you, and an outsider not in the secr2t would never have tnought that I was the culprit.To a certain extent I have reproduced the conditions under which this shooting occurred.\u2018At once on being sure of this feature of the case I despatched a man to Hartford to see this inventor.The man obtained fror.him a complete list of all the dealers in New York to whom such devices had been sald.The man also traced every sale of those dealers.He did not actually obtain the weapon, but if he is working on schedule time according to agreement he is at this moment armed with a search warrant ang is ran- \u2018 sacking every possible place where the person suspected of this crime could have concealed his weapon.For, one of the persons intimately conneet- ed \u201cwith.this case purchased not long ago a silencer for a thirty-two cali- Bre revolver, and F presume that that person carried the gun and the silencer at the time of the murder of Kerr Parker.\u2019 .Kennedy concludeq in triumph, his voice high pitched, his eyes flashing.Yet to all outward appearance not a heart-beat was quickened.Some one in that room had an amazing store of self-possession.\u2018I had anticipated some such anticlimax,\u201d he continued after a moment, \u2018I am prepared for ft.\u2019 .He touched a bell, and the door to the next room opened.One of Kennedy's graduate students stepped In.\u2018You have the records, Whiting?\u2019 he asked.\u2018Yes, Professor.\u2019 \u2018I may say,\u2019 said Kennedy, \u2018that each of your chairs is wired under the arm in such a way as to betray on an appropriate indicator in the next room every sudden and undue emotion.Though it may be concealed from the êye, even of one like me who stands facing you, such emotion is nevertheless expressed by physical pressure on the arms of the chair.It is a test that is used frequently with students to demonstrate various points of psychology.You needn't raise your arms from the chairs, ladies and gentlemen.The tests are all over now.What did they show, Whiting?\u2019 The student read what he had been noting in the next room.At the production of the coat.during the démonstration of the markings of the bullet, Mrs.Parker had betrayed gredt emotion, Mr, Bruce had done likewise, and nothing more than ordinary emo-' tion had been noted for the rest off 8.: Miss La Niege\u2019s automatic record during the tracing out of the sending of the note to Parker had been espe- clally unfavorable to her; Mr.Bruce showed almost as much excitement; Mrs, Parker very little and Downey very little, It was all set forth in curves drawn by self-recording pens on regular ruled paper.The student had merely noted what took place in the lecture room as corresponding to these curves, \u2018At the mention of the noiseless gun,\u2019 said Kennedy, bending over the record, \u2018I find that the curves of Miss La Neige, Mrs.Parker and Mr.Dow- ney are only so far from normal as would be natural.All of them were witnessing a thing for \u2018he first time with only curiosity and no fear.The curve made by Mr.Bruce shows great agitation and\u2014' I heard a metallic click at my side and turned hastily.It was Inspector Barney O'Connor,\u2019 who had stepped out of the shadow with a pair of handcuffs.\u2018James Bruce, you are under arrest,\u2019 he said.(Copyright, 1912, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate).i That Tired Voice Needs prompt attention, lest through neglectyou do it a permanent injury.EVAN PERNA OF THE LIVERPOOL THROAT HOSPITAL * ANTISEPTIC THROAT Pastilles relief.world Katiena| strengthen and heal the overstrained or inflamed tissues of the throat and give prompt and permanent Endorsed by prominent throat specialists, and used by leading public speakers and singers the over.Send Fer Free Sample te 172 Drug and Chemical Co.of Canada, Limited, Montreal.ALSO We make a specialty of give oar custo CANADIAN OLIVER 275 St.Martin St.x Machine Work and Plating The Best Equipment in Montreal for Smail Machine Work Nickel Platers of a wide experience.BELL TEL.UPTOWN 1878.working out inventions, mers the benefit TYPEWRITER CO.(near C.P.R.Tracks) \u2018Bible in th LITERARY - REVIEW.A CONSTRUCTIVE CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY.The authority of Scripture is considered from an entirely different point of view\u2014that of the theologian and higher critic\u2014in the first of' twa vel- umes of a work entitled \u2018The People of God, an Inquiry into Christian Ori- | brews, gins\u2019 by H.F.Hamilton, D.D.(Hiétry| Frowde, Toronto, 23 vols, $6.75).Dr.Hamilton spent some time as professor of pastoral theology in the Unl- versity of Bishop's Collégs, Iænnox- ville, where he became well known to the Anglican community in Canada.His second volume, which is a contribution towards the church union movement, is a history of the post- apostolic church, particularly tracing the origin and descent of the office off\u2019 dishop\u2014the ordainhié-\u2018etéér- ;

Chaos (ver.2); Cosmos (1, 3\u2014il.3).The opening declaration is all-ipn- clusivé and limited.It is fundamental to everything which follows in the Bible, declaring as it does that the material universe came into being by the act of God.It is limited in that it gives no account of the method by which this work was accomplished.The sécond statement introduces us to a condition, the causé of which Is not.declared, in the words, \u2018The earth had become waste and void.\" It is to be noticed that this statement of set purpose fastens attention upon .the earth as distinct from the heavens.Both were referred to as created by God: the earth only is founé in this.condition.-That the chaos was the result of some catastrophe there cen be no doubt (comp.Isa.xxxiv., 11).-The desolate earth, however, was not abandoned, but preserved by the brooding over it of the Spirit of God.Then folldwg the maln story, which is that of the restorfition of order.In studying, it should be carefully observed that the word \u2018created\u2019 oc- \u2018curs again.twice, first, in connection with the appearance of animal life; and secondly; in connection with the coming of \u2018man.In the process of re- eonstructioh, two new orders of life were inttoduted.It is probable that in the previous éreation theré had heen animal iffé, and othèr spiritual beings in charge of thé éarth.and on probation therein.All this we do not know, and it should he left without.reveals if, that the ruined-earth was restôred' té order, and that in the restored order 4 new being was created as central and dominant; and that \u2018néew orders of animal life were also created, to be placed under his do- minNjon.All the rest centrés around him.seasons, the distribution of land And water, vegetation, and ultimate.\u2018ly the blessing and hallowing of the | Sabbath day.THE TEACHING.\"In this introductory page of the Divine Library we have a threefold revelation of God, of man, and of the , earth.oo .( .God is introduced without gay ax- planation of His Being, by the name Elohim, the significance of which is strength, or might: the plural form indicating intensity, or the.inclusion of all strength within His Being.That \u2018name, and the tliought it carries, is stamped upôn the page, océurring in \u2018this lesson as it does no fewer than d five and thirty times.He is revealed \u20182180 by.the actions aftributed to Him éth upon the éarth, ) And God \u2014 those of primal creation, of the And.there was J poses of clearness we may divide the dogmatic statement.What the story | ability to restore the lost order, and of evident purpose manifested in the orderliness of His procedure.: Man is revealed as Divinely created, \u2018and as being the crown and the end of creation.He is the crowh of the ariginal creation in that he is placed upon the earth after its restoration, and set in authority over aif the restored order.In the same way he is the king of everything that is new, the instrument for the ultimate administration of the Divine pyrpose in the whole \u2018creation.; The earth itself is revealed as Divinely created, Divinely arranged, as to its works and orders of being, and subjugated to the rule of man in the Divine economy.THE GOLDEN TEXT.By selecting the opening :declara- tiom of the lesson for golden text the attention is fastened upon the fundamental matter of this particular lesson.It is that of the relation of the whole of creation.to.God., The material universe is His creation.He is able, therefore, to restore it: by His \u2018knowledge and power, even though, in some unexplained mystery, catas- \"trophe has overtaken it.He is also revealed as acting in creative power, apart from and beyond those.original actions which called the universe into being, as He is seen creating & new type of sentient life, and also creating man, a new master over the earth.This is the great Bible.starting point, and through all the subsequent \u2018teaching of history, of prophetic utterance, and ultimately \u2018of the speech of the Son, the \u2018truth is remembered and re-emphasized.The whole was cxpressed by the psalmist in the words, \u2018The earth in the Lord's and the fullness thereof.\u2019 From this revelation we deduce the rights of God in the earth.They are those of government, of éxpectation, and where there is failure, of judgment.Already upon this first page, the breath of His redeeming power is felt in that it is pré-eminently the story of à reconstruction.Wheres man has to deal with Him in the majesty .of His original creative might, man himself, according to this revelation, was a creation related to a regeper- ative activity in connection with the earth.;

(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.)) * Sir, \u2014The charge is often made that Boclalists spend most of their time nd energy in faultAnding, instead of | pointing a way to better conditions.Bt is sometimes said\u2019 that while they- claim to know a way to improve things they will not share thelr knowledge with others.There is a great deal of truth in both these charges, but the oversight is.purely unconscious.They are so busy pointing out the fact that there is a need for a change that they .forget that the other party will want to know what we intend to do before they are interested in the evils of our resent form of society.For the-bene- fit of those who really want to learn more 1 will explain our plang for the reorganization of society.gow ALL WILL ~~ - * BECOME OWNERS.We intend\u2019 to aubstitute cdflective 2 4 working class.owggrahir in all the}.R agencies of produc with democratic organization and control to the.end that gl the benefits of the industries and all the product of their labor shall go to the workers, and not to a roup of Hon-productlve parasites.o bring this about will not require any change in our methods of production; not a wheel will stop, not a man will be affected adversely except those who do not take an active part.The shanges will be made in the constitution of the boards\u2019 of directors\u2019 and in the method of distribution of the products of the fastories.Before 1 can show you how this will act I must ask you to notice our esent orgazilzatioh of society and in- stry.To-day we have capitalist- \u2018class ownership in the agencies of pro- dattion.By\" agencies -ot-\"produétion e mean all the railways, factories, mills, mines, land, and machinery of distribution.I say capitalist-class_ ownership because to-day private own- - ership 1p mest of these.institutions is a thing of the past.The joint stock company and the corporation is the plan _apan : whieh \u2018nearly all of theth: are organized.No one man as a rule éwrs & whole factory, though he may be the ar st shareholder, hard.Strathcdna ows Rothing in the viole.C« P.R.system.He can not go into a.roundhouse and .carry away.&.monkey wrench becduse it fs not hig.KH may be that he dawns the grestest shére in that monkey , wrench, hut there are nearly 25,000 other people who have a claim to it, and they Anust be: consulted too.- LB TRE CAPITALIST- 7 CLASS.ce \u2019 i Second: as a rule no capitalist has all his resources-tigd up in one com- ny, but he owns shares in several.or instance, there is one man in Calgary who owns shares In city subdivisions, a coal mine, C.P.R.shares, the main lumber -con.pany of Alberta, the cement trust, and, last, a system of country elevators.Another man,, known as the Cattle King, owns shares in the meat packing plant shat stands in his own name, but therd a two million dollars outstanding that la owned by other capitalists He also owns a chain of retail stores all over Alberta and British Columbia, shares In the C.N .R, lands all about the city, ranch lands all over Alberta, as well as numerous leases.He has shares in a silver mine in Mexico, a old mine in British Columbia, and Écsiness blocks 1a half a dozen cities.These men are typical of the.members: of the capitalist class.They own only ete 10 they own shares in many.The 1 thes cod.gil frite me sesso LETTERS FROM READERS .| + Ë men of this tyne are all much alike, \u2018and the greater part of the awnership \u201caf this world 1s vested in such men, This -section of the population called the Capitalist Class, constitutes about elght percent of the total, = .takes little Now this class as a rule or no part in actual production.From the .âiversified nature of their holdings It is impossible that they should.Any man who is able to take a part in the production of gold could not take any important share in the conduct of a railway.The greater portion of these men do net pretend te knew anything about \u2018the various, burinesges in which they.have theft money \u2018invested.They hire salaried man to du this for them.To 1llus- trata: Out of the 25,000 shareholders in the'C.P.R., less than 2,000 live in- Canada, and of this number only about 100 are connected with the actual eon- quet of that Sraat corporation, there- e see that as far as the actual ;

so I enlisted the assistance of Mr.James Baillie, who offered the lots to several large interests without success.Finally he persuaded Major W.T.Rodden that the land was a good purchase, but even Mr.Baillie would not promise a profitable turnover in less than a year.There was no thought of restricting this sale to favored purchasers, and I would not have had the courage to offer the lots at public auction then with \u2018à reserve price of one dollar per square foot.The phenomenal rise in prices of Westmount property has been as great a surprise to the public generally as to the Council, and even Mr.Rodden was very glad to sell his entire holdings early at a small advance over his purchase price.- A sale of land on St.Catherine street, just west of the park land, was made by a private owner at fifty cents per square foot after the city\u2019s sale at one dollar.I personally had an option on it and thought it too high.It sold four months later for a large profit, but the original vendor has not been considered either imbecile or venal for gelling at what is now regarded as a very low price.The delay in passing the deed was due to several causes.A survey had to be made and registered showing new streets and lots.These had to be submitted to the Lieuténant-Governor at Quebec.When approved and the deeds were ready one of the estate trustees, whose signature was necessary, was absent in Europe and had to be waited for.Such delays are not unusual.Some of the men who are loudest in their complaints at selling at one dollar were publicly denouncing me for buying at fifty cents and hinted broadly that I was personally profiting by the deal.I don\u2019t usually pay any attention to the criticisms of the men who use printer's ink, but this lengthy explanation is to inform Westmount- ers who may not have had opportunity to.know the facts.\u2019 TL aR 4 J.H.SHERRARD.\u201cÀ GRATEFUL PATIENT.ur + : - CID the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir \u2014Please convey, through your columns, & note of thankfulness and deep gratitude for good attendance rendered to me by the doctors and | nurses ef the Montreal General Hos- far Had Stomach Rumblings Distress Before Me: Was Seldom Free Fron Weary, Droopy, Half Dead Feeling.New Cured, and Gives Good 4 to Others With Dyspept Tendencies.If you have any stomach all you ~ill certainly be inter.the following experience nu told by Mr;

Like a City of France With Ghostly \u201d Pageantry.There is something about Dublin that wears the look and breathes the character of an old French town.It might be a quarter of Paris or a neighbor of Tours.One thinks that Balzae would have liked to rummage in its unconventional dark streets, that Turgeney might have lived his quiet, gentle, expatriated life in one of its formal squares, that Daudet, leaning from a window overlooking the river, would have seen the verni theatre of his dreams, Cork, when you come to know it, has also something of the French, and compassed about by a wonderful prettiness of landscape.But Dublin is this, with the added grandeur, the more sombre tone, of a settled antiquity, and a sad, illustrious history.One is conscious in this old city, with Its wide streets, its churches, its bridges, and statues, of a once splendid renown, a once glowing enthusiasm for nationality, and a once brilliant devotion to the excitement.of social life \u2014 all of which are grown prouder and more exclusive with the shabbiness of declining prosperity.And also one is consoious at night, in the dark and empty streets of this \u201ctired city, of a rolling of drums, a turning of gun wheels, and the tramp of a gaunt army marching with torn banners and bandaged browns through weeping and wailing multitudes.Great battles have been fought, sublime causes have struggled with adversity, incomparable transports of delirious joy and overwhelming breakers of tribulation and despair have swept like a flood through these ancient, sombre streets, crowded with ghosts, where now a policeman walks listless and unemployed, where the gaudy electric tram scrapes a string music from the overhead wire, and where the clerk and typist solng home in the twilight stop to smile at a window full of comic postcards.\u2014 London \u2018Chronicle.\u2019 MILLING DIVIDEND.\u2014\u2014\u2014 A dividend of one and three-quari- ers percent has been declared on the eferred stock of the Maple Leaf bn filing Company, for the quarter end- Jan.4, 1913, payable Jan.18, 1913, o shareholders of record of Jam.4th, Yous.ins alt cin em aan no fo 0000000000000 00¢] IN LICHTER VEIN 3400s00s0000000d CURIOSITY!
