Well Remembered.
Hawkins was a greedy, self-seeking
fellow, who expected to benefit by his
rich uncle's death. Tho latter had not
failed to observe the nephew's charac-
ter, however, and when in his death-
bed he sent for Hawkins,
"I haven't forgotten you, George,"
he said; "got you down in my will."
At the funeral Hawkins invested iu
an expensive wreath and attended to
hear the will read.
"To my dear nephew George," ran
the document, "I leave an illustrated
edition of Dicken's 'Great Expecta-

CR LDREN OF ALL AGES
Children of all ages—whether it be
the new-born babe or the growing
child—have to be constantly guarded
as to their health. Upon the good
health of the little one largely de-
pends his strength and usefulness in
after years. Baby's Own Tablets are
the ideal home medicine for children of
all ages, They are a gentle but thor-
ough laxative which axe absolutely
guaranteed to be free from opiates or
other harmful drugs and which may
be given to the youngest child with
perfect safety and beneficial results.
Through their action on the bowels
and stomach they banish constipation
and indigestion; break up colds and
simple fevers and make teething easy.
Mothers, you can make your little
ones well and keep them well by just
keeping a box of the Tablets at hand
and by giving an occasional dose to
the baby to keep his little bowels reg-
ular and his stomach sweet. The Tab-
lets are sold by medicine dealers or
by mail at 25 cents a box from The
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville,

None to Spare.
The skipper of a small steamer
which ran up and down the Clyde man-
aged one day at low tide to get his ves-
sel on a bank of mud,
After he7 had exhausted his entire
vocabulary in describing the tide, his
erring steamer, and his still more rot-
ten crew, he leaned gloomily over the
side to wait with what patience he
could muster for the tide to rise
again.
Very soon he saw a girl approaching
the river swinging a bucket in her
hand. Obviously she was coming
down to get some water, and the
wrath of the skipper flamed up anew.
Leaning farther over the side, and
shaking his list at her, he said:—
"My lassie, if you tak' one drap o'
water till I get afloat again I'll warm
yer earfort,"

As a rule, it yis the new father who
is the bore, and the visitor whir tries!
politely to stifle hie yawns while the
baby is eulogised. But the dame who
called upon Mr, Jones after the birth
of his first reversed the usual order of
things.
She was full of advice. She told
him what to do and what not to (lo,
how to treat the baby when it cried,
how to sing to it, how to talk to it,
what toys to give it, what school to
send it to, what religion it should fol-
low, and what profession to adopt.
Mr. Jones was just about to ask her
advice regarding the color of its coffin
when she suddenly jumped up and
said she was sorry, but she really
must be going.
"Really ?" murmured Mr. Jnes faint-
ly.
"Yes. I really must. Good-bye!
I expect your baby will'be much larg-
er when I see her again,"
"Yes," said Mr. Jones. "I sincerely
hope so."'
Wasteful Making of Railway Ties
In our timbered districts, the waste
in making hewn or "axed" ties is
causing much interest. This is -a very
wasteful practice, and is one to which
government agents have been repeat-
edly calling attention.
The awakened interest in the sub-
ject is due, no doubt, to the growing
market for jackpine lumber and the
consequent operations of the small
mills,which are sawing ties along
some of the northern railway lines and
also shipping lumber to the cities. The
appearance of a woods where logs
have been taken out for this purpose
presents a contrast to an area where
the ties have been hewn in the bush.
On the former areas, all treeslarge
enough to produce ties are cut and
logs are taken down to a minimum
top diameter of probably six inches.
,When the tree is down and bucked,
all the wood material goes to the mill.
For ties hewn in the woods, the tie -
maker is paid at a rate per tie. Na-
turally, he will use only the most easi-
jy .'converted trees, consequently, the
trees which would entail much work
4n removing limbs are left standing.
sIf a tree is alittle larger than is neces-
,ary to make a good tie, he discards
several feet of the butt (the very best
iwood material). To make: the tie he
cores it on two faces; and the chips
left in the woods represent much lum-
ber which would be taken from the
sides of the ties if sawn at the mill.
Finally, he leaves on the top of the
tree all that will not make a No. 2 tie,
and this often means that an eight -or -
nine -inch top is left in the woods.
This actual waste, however, is not
the only consideration. Operators
taking out hewn ties necessarily skin
over large areas, using only the choice
material and leaving much good tim-
ber, but, in all probability, not enough
to make a second operation over the
same area a paying undertaking.
These slashings also form a serious
fire hazard, and when fire once gets in,
nothing can save the remaining tim-
ber.
The waste in hewing ties will be ad-
mitted by all operators without ques-
tion, but they contend that expediency
demands it in some parts, due to the
difficulty of driving the logs by water
to the mills. The fact remains that
there is , much absolutely needless
waste at present. In view of our
rapidly disappearing timber supplies
as few ties as possible should be hewn
in the woods, and operators should
take out both tie timber and pulpwood
when logging areas where it is not
commercially possible to take one af-
ter the area has been operated for the
other:

FREQUENT HEADACHES
A Sure Sign That the Blood
is Watery and Impure.
People with thin blood are much
more subject to headaches than full-
blooded persons and the form of
anaemia that afflicts growing girls is
almost always accompanied by head-
ith
aches, together wdisturbance of "
the digestive organs.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and • pallor of the
face, they shdw that the blood is thin
and your efforts should be directed to-
ward building up your blood. A fair
treatment with Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills will do this effectively, and the
rich red blood made by these pills will,
remove the headache.
More disturbances to the health are'
caused by their blood than most peo-
ple have any idea of. When your blood
is impoverished, the . nerves suffer
from lack of nourishment, and you
may be troubled with insomnia, neur-
itis, neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles
subject to strain are undernourished
and you may have muscular rheum-
tism or lumbago. If your blood is thin
and you begin to show symptoms of
any of these disorders, try building
up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and as the blood is restored to
its normal condition every symptom
of the trouble will disappear. There
are more people who owe their present
state of good health to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills than to any other medicine,
and most of them do not hesitate to
say •s0.
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer in medicine
or by marl at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
To Each His Own.
(A Philosophy of the Road)
You roll along in limosine, I suffer the
dust you fling,
As over the footpath I blithely fare,
where the glad -heart vespers ring;
Riding is good, and I like not dust, but
this I tell you true:
For all your cushioned and careless
ease, I would not change with you!
You glance through a window casually,
and note that the trees' are green;
Questing, I joy fn the wee nest hid
midst the hedgerow's sheltering
screen;
An instant you see the squirrel's
poise, on the trunk of a grand old
tree;
I stop for a friendly argument, and he
sharesmy nuts with me!
You fret at the tricksy, sun -shot show-
er that dims your crystal pane;
I stand bliss -bound in the fragrance
loosed by the fingers, of the rain!
You catch a glimpse, as you whirl a-
long, of the wide sky's blue and
white;
I thrill to the sweep
of its loveliness,
its marvelous breadth
and height!
To s,olne engagement yon hurry past,
with small thought of the way;
I loiter on, from friend to friend, at the
close of a toil -.filled day;
You ride, over rather a boresome road,
as swiftly as may be; .
I walk, in a wonder-world—and yet,
you would not change with me!

Forty -Eight Years in
"Canada's Western Empire"
Colonel John S. Dennis, C. M. G.,
who rode the plains of Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba 48 years
ago, when Indians and buffalo were
plentiful, knows more. about "Canada's
Western Empire" than any other man,
He killed and ate the buffalo, narrowly
escaped being scalped by Indians on
at least one occasion, suggested and
built in Alberta the largest irrigation
system in North America, recruited
thousands of British and Canadians in
the United States during the recent
war and not only volunteered for but
saw service with the Canadian Expe-
ditionary Force in Siberia.
Now the four western provinces of
Canada have a population of 2,500,000,
the buffalo are to be found only in
parks in the Canadian Rockies and the
Indians are on reservations. There
are nearly 20,000 miles of railway in
the four provinces, or one mile for
each 125 persons; and of 225,000,000
acres of good agricultural land, but
35,000,000 acres are at present occu-
pied and cultivated. Of the balance,
190,000,000 acres, some 30,000,000
acres lie within fifteen miles of these
railway lines waiting for settlers.
"Think of it," says Col. Dennis, "and
the world crying out for food," His
view is that while Canada has won a
standing among the nations by her
work in the recent war so that to -day
the name "Canadian" is recognized as
distinguishing a citizen of a progres-
sive and virile country, Canada's share
in the great struggle has involved her
in financial obligations which can only
be met and discharged by increasing
her population and developing her vast
natural resources 'which, while ample
security for many times her war debt,
must be made productive of wealth
through development.
Between 1905 and 1914 about 2,-
500,000 people settled in Canada, the
largest proportion in the four western
provinces. They left Great Britain,
the 'Welted States and other countries
for their new home, and Col. Dennis be-
lieves that 500,000 each year may fol-
low them until these provinces have a
total population of 10,000,000. Canada,
he further believes, is destined to be
"the keystone in the arch of the Bri-
tish. Empire."
A Sagacious Mouse.
Mice have been making inroads up-
on the family larder and wardrobe,and
so the head of the family set a trap,
the bottom of which was simply a
piece of tin in which the manufacturer
had left little slits, or openings, about
a half inch wide, parallel with each
other and extending the full length of
it. When in the morning he found a
single mouse rushing wildly from wall
to wall of its cage, he lifted the trap
from its hiding place and laid it on a
thick rug in front of the grate, where a
fire was burning briskly. Then, al-
though he had no intention of being
cruel he entirely forgot that the crea-
ture was in danger of being roasted
alive.
When he returned the mouse had
actually built a barrier ten or fifteen
times the size of its i'_dy between it-
self and the fire. With its teeth it had
cut away the fuzz on the surface of the
rug through the slits in the bottom of
the •trap, and had heaped this material
together into a veritable wall of de-
fense until it entirely filled the trap.
