fix the ladder up against the outside'

''ne with which to do the measuring;
and we started to work. I didn't
know exactly how the work should
be done but I began where the cat'
was sitting, measured to the top of

meetly three feet. 1
It was beginning to grow dark 1

and we started to wank back to the?
city. But Miss Morris overruled nay;
objections and took us back in her
machine. I promised lo be back the'
next day at twelve o'clock.
Neet. morning I purchased a small
eane fishing pole and cut it off until'
it was exeetly three feet long—the
same height as the cat. Then at the
proper time we purposely started to
walk out to visit "The Black Cat"
again. It was as I expected and
hoped.—Miss Monis met us in her
machine and took us to our destina-
tion.
After we had gotten there we went
out to examine the rock. In the
exact centre of it there was a deep
indentation that did not look natural.
e waited patiently until one o'clock
rolled around, and I put the three
feet of cane pole in the indented
spot. The sun was just right to pro-
duce good shadows and I told Joe to
mark exactly where the tip of this
shadow fell. After he had done that,
I sent him up to the barn for a spade
and shovel.
When he returned, I started dig-

Curious Errors That Appear on the
Pages of (newspapers.
Itis surprising how often staid and
influential newspapers make mistakes
• in history, says a London writer. The
other day, a newspaper, published not
a hundred miles from fleet Street,
spoke of King Charles signing the
Magna Clzarta.
That paper must have lost its head
as well. •
How is this as a sample of Bible his-
tory?
is-tory?
"We hear of nien who send their
only sons to the Front in the spirit of i
Iiia the Patriarch. who laid his first-
born on the altar."
Yet that actually appeared in the
leaded type of an important leader In
a paper quoted all over Europe. Isaac
offering up Esau would make a good
subject for the next Royal Academy? I
The Irish correspondent of a great!
London paper wrote lately of districts'
in a certain province of the Emerald
Isle where "Protestants are in an i
overwhelming minority." He night
have added that Irish bulls were much
in evidence there also. But the great
paper printed it without spotting the
mistake?
Another great daily wrote in its
leading article of certain forces in the
war area as- "moving backwards and
forwards like pawns in a game of
chess."
That sounds all right to the non -
chess -player, but even a tyro at the
game knows that the pawn is theonly
piece on the board that cannot move
at all unless it moves forward.
There is but a step—and a very lit-
tle one—between correctness and er-

The Bravest Village.
It is interesting to read that the
little village of Golspie, in Sutherland -
shire, England, claims an usually big
number of military decorations in
proportion to its population. The
number of decorations received by the
inhabitants is thirty, and the village
population is 1,650. Altogether, about
one-fourth of the population served in
the filmes during the war. Is this a
record, or can any other village estab-
lish a superior claim? -

Desnerts From Home -Canned Fruits.
When the family begins to tire of
canned fruit, or when a company des-
sert is desired, try combining with
other materials some of the fruit
you put up last year. A' simple and
inexpensive substitute for whipped
cream to serve with deserts may be
made by whipping the white of an
egg until stiff, adding one table-
spoonful of powdered sugar, and
folding ,in the mashed pulp of a ban-
ana. Do not prepare this until just
before serving, as it turns dark if
allowed to stand too long.
Peaches and Cream—Place upon
each serving; plate a round piece of

Splendid Record Achieved
during 1918
THE year 1918 was for the business of life assurance a year of supreme achievement.
Owing to the combined effect of the war and the influenza epidemic, death claims
were unusually high. The payment of these claims enabled the Companies to
render an unprecedented measure of public service, and to fulfill to a more noteworthy
degree than ever previously the beneficent purpose for which they were founded.
The record achieved during 1918 by the Sun Life of Canada was one of particularly striking success.
For the first time in the Company's history new assurances paid for exceeded Fifty Million Dollars. The
growth in size, strength and prosperity accentuates the Company's position as not merely the leader among
Canadian Life offices, but one of the great insurance corporations of the world.
The Company's financial .power is emphasized by its large Assets, Income and Surplus. During the year
$7,460,000 was added to the Assets, which at December 31st, had reached the huge total of $97,620,000.
The Income is now $21,651,000, while the undivided Surplus is $8,027,000.
