Canadians have much to be thank-
ful for this year. At no time has the
country enjoyed a wore general pros-
perity than during 1905. .A bountiful
harvest has been safely garnered; the
mineral, lumber and Manufacturing
industries of all kinds are flourishing;
trade and commerce is increasing rap-
idly; and consequently the businesses
of the merchant, the professional roan,
the hanker, the mechanic and the lab-
orer are in more than the usual heal-
thy condition. From a business view
alone Canadians, truly, should be very
thankful.

a board bill. The board bill bored Bill
so that Bill sold the billboard to pay
his board hill. So after Bill sold his
billboard to pay his hoard bill the
hoard bill no longer bored Bill.
Without W we would be without
wars, w•arcries and the waring, but
since warriors will wage war we would
warn the war -thirsty that when we
wage war with a worthy warrior we
would weigh well with wily wariness
the weapon we wield. Without wise
watchfulness we would weary with
wasteful wanderings the worthiness
of our foe, but with worthy weapons
wended well we would, without waste
of worst stvithstand weightier weapons
wrought without worth. Witless
wretches will weary wiseacres with
winning weapons, r•et wisdom with or
without weapon will wield within a
wink a whirling whipcord which will
work worse wreckage than Webster
will wrest with all his witless words
from worthless wrigglers, etc. We
could wrestle with Webster's word

wriggle about on \V's legs and we
would wander in dreams of weary.

flow of Hulce language were such that

lent anthema, the male a11lartette, the
duet by Miss Martin and Mr. Senior,
