Their dresses warm and neat --
How could you see a soldier's wife
Ill chid upon the street!
You have your little children safe,
You watch their happy play.
They laugh and romp about your

Some boys who went have children

Who oft their days beguiled;
God loves the children; Ele'il love

Who help a soldier's child.
You still possess a mother
To give her love to you;
The boys who went have mothers
Who dearly love them too;

Who watch, and fret and pray,

And give your mite today.

Thus giving and thus helping

Shot at the Kaiser's heart ;
Shoot, shoot, and shoot until that hell
Is shot and rent apart.
Oh! drop those dollar bombs until
Our fiendish German foes
Are beaten back to the abyss
From which at first they rose;

Until' the earth is free -
Upon the struggle rests the fate
Of you as well as me.

the Lacknow council and, strange
to say, some "of the people who vig-
orously opposed the granting of a

"lake warm" and in fact will take
a stand in favor of it if the present
Reeve and councillors see fit to
grant such license. What has
brought about this change is more,
than we can fathom, for surely in
a time of stress when 'every cent is

J, W. Stewart Now Possesses an
. Estate in His -Old Home.
There lately arrived in London a
man whose career provides yet an-
other amazing illustration of the
energy, perseverance, ana shrewd-
ness of the modern Scot. His name
is Mr. John William Stewart, known
in Canada as "Jack', Stewart, the
millionaire railway contractor, says
London Tit -Bits.
Four years ago be bought from the
Duke of Sutherland 50,000 acres of
the Sutherland estates, with an an-
nual rent -roll of £2,500, which
among other things included Mr.
Stewart's birthplace, a tiny cottage
at Drumbeg, in the parish of Assynt;..
A few months later Mr. Stewart
bought from the Duke for £66,000 a
further large tract of land in the par-
ish of Assynt, which included house
property, a deer forest, a sheep farm,
and small holdings, with a rental of
£2,700.
Yet it is not so many years ago
since Mr. Stewart landed in Quebec
with just 10s. in his pocket. This
was after he had tried farming and
engineering in Scotland, and decided
that the Colonies offered him more
scope for the realization of his ambi-
tions. Obtaining work as a farm
hand on a French-Canadian farm, he
ultimately settled down in British
Columbia with the money he had
saved, where he found work on the
railway. Afterwards he drifted to
Montana, in the States, and made
such good use of his opportunities
that he was able to enter into part.
nership with two well-known Irish -
American contractors, Foley and
Walsh, which has since become one
of the foremost firms of its kind in
the West.
A patriot to the backbone, Mr.
Stewart has utilized some of his
wealth to equip a Highland regiment
in British Columbia, where he is
opening up a great new railroad, and
has furthermore contributed £20,000
to the war funds.
"Rather than my country should
be beaten in this great war," he says,
"I will go back again to day labor
and small wages where I began."
And there are thousands of weal-
thy Scotsmen in all parts of the
world who would do the same.
Could Not.
"Now, what does your young 1!,r.
Brown make by lectures and readings
you talk so much about?"
"Nothing, papa. 'Virtue is its own
exceeding great reward,' It shows how
good he is."
"Tut, tut, child: How can you expect
my consent to.your engagement with a
man who, as you say yourself, is abso-
lutely 'good -for nothing?".

EVOLUTION OF SHORTHAND.
Modern Stenography Haiti its Start in
the Tinily of Cicero.
To the average person the idea ot
shorthand writing is generally consid-
ered as being modern, because of the
rapidity with which it has been intro-
duced into business life itl this coon- 1
try. Tbls is not the ease, however, for j
history traces the use of a similar art '
with definiteness back to the time of
Cicero, about 79 B. Q, The intention
is sometimes credited to Cicero and
sometimes to his secretary, Tullius
Tiro..
Nothing seeifis to be known of any
other system of shorthand during the
Greek or Roman ascendency nor for
fifteen centuries afterward. The first
Of the noted systems at the beginning
of the present era of shorthand was
that ot Timothy Brlgbt, whose treatise
was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, In
I600 Peter Bates brought out a system
similar in some respects to Bright's,
but which was difficult to memorize.
The next system to indicate progress
appeared°twelve years later, by John
Willis, which was called "The Art of
Stenography or Short Writing by Spell-
ing Cbaracterle." Then came Edward
Willis, Jeremiah Rich, William Mason,
Thomas Gurney, as well as tunny oth-
ers. All of these systems had many
defects, and the entire idea was reju-
venated When in the early part of the
nineteenth century Isaac Pitman, who
afterward was knighted, presented 111s

has been the foundation fur most of
the systems now praeticed.•-• Exebauge.
