With it all, when Will WO as fainilies

If father is out every evening until,

The question 1 would put to the fath-
ers and young men of this village is,
"When have you spent an i'\'013 '11' in
your own home?" I close with the old

A Shining Star.
The strides alticia The.Toronto Daily
Star is making are the features of
newspaperdorn in Canada. Within a
few weeks it has been p11110 the front
rank of city dailies. It has cut awav-
from, the Touonto tra,clition about
afternoon papers, and has enlarged itS
slze and the scope of its news so that
it is now on an even 'keel with its
morning contemporaries.
rt splendid special cable service is
a costly feature of the papef.'s im-
pr()vment. In London, New York,
Chicago, Boston, and Washington it
has its own residentcoreespondents,
as well as in the chief cities of the
Dominion. •
In Wall news The Star has forstalled
its competitors on many important oc-
.
Its correspondence, from the Cana-
dian contingent in, South. Africa in-
cludes some of the most 'interesting
let ter's that conieto tell the people of
this Dominion of the trials and the
gallantry of 0111' soldiers. •
Seeing that the markets and ex-
changes in the world's great trading
centres aee all closed before the after-
noon papers are printed, it has been
one of the unaccountable things that
the morningpapers should ever have
been looked ,aor and waited upon for
their commercial and financial pages.
The Toinnto Star btkes full advantage
of the time of its publication at 4
o'clock in the afternoon to present full
and reliable reports from all the trading
centres, as well as the local ex -changes.
These reports are published fifteen
hours (dread of the morning papers.
It has lately engitged one of the
best drawing citsels in the -newspaper
business in the person of Satu Hunter,
the ciutoonist, who went over this week
to The Star, -whose front page here-
after his; limner will go to enliyerl.
Another addition to the SI 11 staff of
more than passing interest was the en-
gagement of Mr. Joe Clark, "Mack"
of Saturday Night. The, Star's man-
agement are going the way to make
the paper the most readable in Canada.
