Dear Bill, Ever since we last visited Reno, Nevada, it has been my fervent de sire to retrace my steps to that fa mous little spot and really ‘do’ the town and surrounding countryside in a more leisurely fashion —"The Biggest Little Town in he World” is the boast emblazoned in a huge sign, forming an arch above the main highway into this colorful community and the average person as he bids adios to 'big little Reno’ must feel that this slogan isn’t so much of an overstatment of fact — wicked? — well it depends on what you’re looking for — personally I found it rather a big-hearted town with a slight superiority complex — a wealthy place with a per capita wealth of over six thousand dollars — a town where one need never .go hungry — or bored. ■However its not Reno alone that holds the entire interest for the vis itor in that locality for in an hour’s travel by car through a fantasticlly scenic mountainous road you .may visit the most celebrated Ghost town in America — Virginia City — when Mark Twain edited his news paper and where dwelt the notable Horace Greeley of "iGo West young man” fame — where rough rip roaring, riotous, rarin-to-go rene gades gathered behind their gaming tables to fleece the simple-minded miners of their yellow gains — there stands the remains of Boot hill cemetery in eloquent testimony of a past when the six-gun was law and /of the men who fmet ,itheir Maker by that end — today that last resting-place lays desolate in a desert sun — white, painted, wooden slabs, .weather-beaten until their grain stands out in bold bas- relief, slant crazily in all directions many worn until the legend is but partially legible — pitifully plain, but pertinent epitaphs proclaiming to the world a message of the past when life was cheap along the west ern frontier. Little Dave, Big Dave and Dave the Dude lie in graves side by side — a dishevelled dsarray of rock co vered mounds — not a blade of grass nor even a clump of sage adorning the place — low, broken- down pickets stand guard against the ravages of the coyotes — — imbedded in 1 dingy wooden mark er was an old-fashioned tin-type of a little boy with a toy horse-------■ such inscriptions as "Faro Luke, he died by a sheriff’s posse” followed by the usual data such as his age, birthplace (sometimes omitted) and the time of his demise, are common —' — hundreds of graves, some m fair condition, some sunk in, and not more than a handful that have received any recent care — "China Mary” lies between two who are described as dying with their boots on — over the whole hangs a pall of desolation and solitude. In the village proper are signs of a revival of life and as we passed down the rough plank sidewalk of the main thoroughfare, two. men were panning the road dust in an open sewer —— here the streets were actually'paved with gold! — low grade ore that by the old jtime method was unprofitable to mill, was used as road building material — today ground fine by horses’ hoofs and wagon-wheels, it is be ing washed to yield pay-dirt------- miners are reopening and modern machinery has made it possible to finance the re-timbering of them | through the milling or processing of the tailings (discarded ore) so that men are again put to work and the stores and drinkeries are again opening along the ‘main stem.1' Slowly at first but with increas ing numbers the miners are troup- ing back to this nearly forgotten skeleton of what was once a source of mighty fortunes —■ glittering chandeliers of what was once a pal ace of chance are being wired for electrifications to shine down on a gleaming bar now used as a ‘hash joint’ and upward to a ceiling still riddled with countless bullet-holes from the ’shboting-irons’ of a reck less gentry — the Wells-Fargo vault today holds a sizeable store of wines and liquors' and Piper’s peerless parlour of pleasure With it floor buil.t on box-car springs (so the miners would bounce when they danced) still flaunts a dilapitated carved wooden "Theatre” sign over its broken down entrance —■ •— Two peons jabber away in staccato Spanish from their perch on the edge of the plank walk — a burro train starts away from the corftet- grOcery — shaggy little beasts of burden mincing their way out to the hills — a party of sight-seers attempts to peer through a cob webby windows into some of the many vacant stores — one of our party yanks at the dangling end of a rope that seems to come from the Side of a tumble-down building —- a fire bell rings -we go away from there pronto. i Qu the way back to Reno we stop at the 'Ski Club’ and watch mem bers cavort in an put-dqor swim ming pool after a skiing party op the snow clad mountains •■ a few miles away —~ an ice-cold stream snakes its way along the opposite side of the road yet the pool is /fed from hot jnineraiizpefl spring! waters that flow thirty feet beneath ground surface —- veritably a land of paradoxes.

Adios, TORCHY PERRETT GOLDING An interesting1 wedding was sol emnized in St. Paul’s United church, Avenue Road, Toronto, which was beautifully decorated with white snapdragon and ferns, when Evelyn Irene, daughter of Mr. W, H.

Do you know her? would you not give a great deal to be able to meet yourself as you meet other people and see yourself as they see you? We cannot meet ourselves face to face as we meet others. The mirror shows only the outside of us. But we have or may acquire the mental ability to meet and study our real selves and get acquainted. We try Co find out from others what they think of usi, but they will not tell us. In fact, they will take pains sometimes to deceive us as to what they think of us. Why not make the inventory at first hand and add up the figures just as they are? Why not credit yourself with all the good qualities you know you are possessed of and charge yourself with your weakness es and faints and failings? You know better than any one, if you will take time to think, what are your strong points and your weak ones. If you make the inventory, do not deceive yourself Or leave out any of the qualities—good, bad or indif ferent. Self-deception is the worst sort Of deception, YOU! not, get an introduction.

Gordon Ingram, - ' Seal San- ___ Gordon Chairman of .the Christmas Committee of Queen Alexandra atorium, said recently. “A man in Denmark, Einer boell, first thought of it. He worked in a post office. -One day he asked himself, "Why wouldn’t it be a good idea to raise money to care for sick children by selling people penny seals to decorate their Christmas letters and packages?” "The royal family of Denmark became interested and the money was found to print the seals. They sold so rapidly that soon there was enough money to build a children’s hospital and the lives of many little ones were saved.” "One of these seals found its way to America on a letter to Jaocb Riis, American philanthropist, who was a native of Denmark,” Col. Ingram pointed out. Mr. Riis was so im pressed with its potential usefulness and the festive air that it gave to his letter that he wrote an article about it in The Outlook Magazine of July 6, 1907. "In Wilmington, Delaware,” Col. Ingram continued “a woman named Emily Bissell wanted to keep open a little hospital where poor victims of tuberculosis Were being brought back to health. She had read Mr. Riis’s article, ahd thought "Why not try the Christmas Seal device in Delaware?” £"Thus Chri^as Seals came to the North American continent, catch ing the imagination of the public both in the Unitied States and Can ada.

SUTHERLAND — SWAIN THE WEAL JOB THE IDEAL JOB pays an immed iate cash return which is in direct proportion to the effort a man puts into it . . . pays in cash - not prom ises. THE IDEAL JOB gives a man the opportunity of advancing as rapid ly as his efforts merit, without ta- vorism, pull or politics to stand in the way. THE IDEAL JOB has no salary ceiling. In most jobs, a man climbs only so high before he bumps his head on ‘that’s all the job can pay.’ THE IDEAL JOB is one which is indispensable to society. There are too many unfortunate men in the world now who started life in occu pations which changing business practices wiped away. THE IDEAL JOB gives a man an opportunity to render real service in the world, doing something in life besides making THE IDEAL monotony. THE IDEAL a man can engage in as successfully when he reaches old ages as when he is young. THE IDEAL JOB does not demand an investment of capital. THE IDEAL JOB does not break a man’s spirit by chaining him to a desk for eight hours of every day of every year. Mrs. Cook; Airs. Moise; E. Buswell Assistant, Mrs. E.
