COURT ARON MOTHER
TO
Ontario Man's Application. For Their
air
Custody Dismissed by Justice
Morrison—Uses Common Sense—
Bench Hopes Hopes to See Couple Re-
united — Wife Tells of "Other
Woman"
Vance:leel, B. C., Dec, 2.—Cus-
tody of seven-year-old Eleanor Marie
and• three-year-old Francis Jean
Smiley, was yesterday awarded to
their mother, Mrs. Marie Smiley, by
Justice Morrison, who dismissed the
application of the father and hus-
• band, Lawrence Smiley, hardware
ynerchant, of Dungannon, Ontario.
Complaining of hex- husband's eon -
duet, Mrs. Smiley left Dungannon, a
town of 400 popuation, and, ae-
companied by her chidren, came to
• Vancouver. She sought a home with
her mother, sister and brother in
Washington territory. She was re-
fusedrrnis 'o
pe s2( n to do so on account,
she said, of her chidren being Can-
adians. She appealed to Washington,
D,C., and permission has now come
for herself and the children to enter
the United States.
Nlrs. Smiley stated on the witness
stand, that she intends returning to
Vancouver, where she will reside
with her sister, and will teach school,
In the meantime she has obtained
temporary employment in a depart-
ment store here, and placed her
children in care of Sisters of Prov
Bence, New Westminster. In response
.• to a writ of habaes corpus, the moth-
er superior of the orphanage pro-
duced the two children in court
yesterday.
Mrs. Smiley complained of the at-
tention exhibited by her husband to
a girl in a grocery store, which was
opposite Mr. Smiley's hardware store
in Dungannon. The girl, she testi-
fied, admitted that Mr. Smiley Iniad
professed affection and expressed the
wish that he were free. The husband
is an Anglican and the wife a Cath-
olic and the children are being
brought up in the latter religion.
Ln Dungannon, Mrs. Smiley assist-
ed in her husband's store, in addition
to caring for the children. She said
that his business is small and would
not bring more than $100 a month
so that he could not afford properly
to support the;,children.
Smiley denied his wife's allege-
, tions. When awarding custody to
Mrs. Smiley, Justice Morrison ex-
pressed the hope that the couple
would become reconciled again and
that they should live together hap-
pily. His lordship said he refused
to consider the case on its legal as-
pects alone, but was inclined to ex-
ercise common sense.
A•
Viscount Jellicoe'6 Suggestion
Viscount Jellicoe, writing in Bras-
sy's Naval Annual suggests that all
British overseas dominions should
contribute directly to the support
of the British navy at the rate of
17 shillings per head. Canada's
share, he believes, should be. $30,-
000,000 for the next few years; in
addition there should be a building
program for $10,000,000 per year,
the maintenance charges on which
would be $4,200,000. In ail,. tivy
would take $50,200,000 a year.
Ottawa (reports that no request
has been received from Britain for
etch a contribution, and it is safe to
say that none will be forthcoming.
Viscount Jellicoe is n naval auth-
ority,' well veined in .the subject an
which he writes, but his opinion is
nothing mote than a suggestion.
Canada line at Various times de-
bated the question of participation
in the naval strength of the empire,
and it will be in the Canadian parl-
iament that any decision on this
,point will be made.

"Prince of the 'paver of the air" (laph. .2 2), Satan *nay have lie'm
responsible for the storm that wrecked the vtbsel on which Paul hail been;
hoping in this way to end Paui'e life and stop his testimony. But God
delivered Paul, crud all who sailed' with hint; the ship went to pieces, the
voyagers came safe to land on the Tatand of Melita, or Malta.
Yet the attempts an Pears life Were not over • Within a few /ninnies,
apparently, after escaping death in the sea he received another deadly
attach on land, es a viper crone from a bundle of sticks which Paul had
gathered to build a fire,: and "fastened on his hand." If Satan were again
seeking his life, the adversary had Christ to deal with. The Lord had said
to flis disciples, just before liis ascension: Pheee signs with follow them
that believe;, , , .they shall take up serpent; • • It shall not hurt them"
(Mark 10:17, 18). Paul "shook oil' the beast into: the fire, and felt no
bairn, The record of this experience in the Scripture narrative at this
point suggests that the deliverance was supernatural, especially in view of
the fact that the people 0f Malta, watching Paul, expected his instant death
from what they evidently jrnew to be fatal poison,
The sincere but blhided gropings of a people without God are illustrated
in the attitude of the islanders watching Pal W1 theybitten
When • saw him i n
by the viper, they thought it was fate administering justice to some criminal
who had escape(' from the sea. But when, to tbeijJsurprise, they saw him
unharmed, they went to the other extreme, "and' said that he- was a god.
Only those with the light and life of Christ in their lives as Saviour and
Lord, can rightly interpret what goes on before their eyes.
Paul was then empowered of God to work miracles of healing among the
island r —
e s a further :fulfillment of our Lord's promise given at the seine
time with His word about safety from serpents: "They shall lay hands on
the sick, and they shall recover." Paul visited the father of the chief man
of the island who lay desperately i11, and Paul "prayed and laid hands on
him and healed him. Then followed a campaign of healing, which opened
the hearts and minds of the people of Malta to the Good News of Christ as
Saviour. It was still early in the new dispensation of grace, and God
granted these miracles as credentials of the ambassadors of Christ.
Three months later the voyage to Rome was completed in safety and
comfort, and Paul entered upon a -ministry of two years in the Capital city
of one of the greatest world empires in history.
Pani was a prisoner of Rome, but he was given unusual privileges.
Doubtless official information concerning the character of the man and his
evident innocence had accompanied him,, and he was permitted to rent a
house of his own and live by himself "with the soldier that guarded him.
Thi. gave him great liberty and opportunity to preach the Gospel, which he
was quick to do.
Pie had been in the Capital but three days when he "called the chief of
the Jews together" and frankly told them why he was there. He wanted
them to know that he was not the enemy, but the friend of Israel, and that
he had done nothing "against the people or customs of our fathers." He
uttered a dramatic sentence when he declared to his fellow Jews: "Because
that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain." A Jew condemned,
humiliated, imprisoned and manacled by the action of Jews because the had
declared to them the fulfilment of their dearest hope! That is the "offense
of the Cross," for which sinful, lost mean so often rejects life, chooses death
and turns against his best Friend who would be his Saviour.
The Jews in Rome were cautious and on their guard in their attitude
toward Paul, but they gave him full opportunity to tell his whole story and
set forth his teaching 'of the Gospel.' Many came to him in his house of
imprisonment, and ha patiently went through the Old Testament Scriptures
which they knew so well, "persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of
e lawprophets, frommorningtillevening."
th of Moses, and out of the o e m lie
actually proved that the Messinh, forpwhom their race lid been waiting and
longing for centuries. had come in the person of the Teacher of Nazareth.
The result of Paul's testimony was just what the result has been, from
that day to this, when men have had the Gospel of life declared to them.
Some believed, and some believed not. Some were saved, and some were
lost. Some were born again, and, being twice born, will taste of death only
once. Those who would not accept their second birth in Christ will have to
go down into the second death.

Dear Mr. Editor:—
This is the fiftieth year—the semi -
centennial of the Hospital for Sick
Children It is the Golden Anniver-
sary of an institution which started
out to 1875 with a six -bed equip-
ment to cure children medically of
their illnesses and to rid them sur-
gically of their disabilities. Fifty
years have passed and the tiny hos.
pitai . has grown into one of the
greatest institutions of its kind in
the whole world.
The people of this province de•
mended this service.— and they
have made it possible by their
Christmas Time gifts. They are
rewarded by the knowledge that
thousands of Ontario children will
grow up into manhood or woman-
hood blessing the "little blue cots"
wherein they were restored and
strengthened to play x full part"'in
the battle of life. •
To win back health for six thou-
sand boys and girls was the measure
of the Hospital's wardserviee atone
this year, Besides that there were
over half a hundred thousand at-
tendances in the Out -Patient Depart•

are treated. All this costs a great

A Few Stories by Lt.-CoL Miller In
"Fifty' Years of Sport."
Wishing to get a hundred sheep
penned up, a farmer turned a new
boy on to do !t. Two hours later
he found the boy in an exhausted
state, Looking Into the pen, he saw
a hare with the sheep. "Why," he
exclaimed, "you have a hare in
'there!" "Oh!" replied the boy, "that
is the blighter that gave me all the
trouble. 'I got the other hundred in
easily enough."
This Is one of -the many good
stories told by Lt, -Col. E. D. Miller,
0.13,1., D.S.O., la bis entertaining
book, "Fifty Years of Sport." In
another be relates that a motorist
ran over a dog, He stopped and
handed two pounds ad compensation
to a laborer who had picked tie dog
up. When lie had gone the laborer
shook his head and, looking at the
notes, murmured, "It was too bad,
Now I wonder who that little dog be-
longed to?"

the middle of the Hoer. "Ah, poor
girls" said the doctor, "she is not so
helpless as she thinks. This is the
medicine she wants,"
Col, Miller tells two stories about
Lord Kitchener and the South Afri-
can War. The groat soldier was in
the habit of wearing a plain khaki
uniform without ribbons, When rid-
ing with his staff to Pretoria he dame
across a disconsolate straggler, and

- Hero are two stories about a gen-
eral who had wit and a cotureand'of
vigorous language:—
"lie once met ova of his old com-
rades in the street, e t and asked Min
flow he was. The pian did not know
his old colonel, which, made the gen-
eral furious, and in the strongest pos-
sible language he told the man ex-
actly what sort of a fool he thought
him. 'Air,' said the man, 'face a bit
older, hair a bit thinner and whiter,
but the same old language. I am
delighted to see you are so well, sir.'
"On another occasion, on coming
out of Buckingham Palace, where he
had been to receive a decoration, a
grimp sweep brushed against his
beautiful red tunicand was greeted
with a flow of the very best language.
The sweep listened respectfully to his
remarks, and when they had quite
ceased he replied, quietly, 'Well, if I
was quite sure you were clean in the
house I'd keep you for a pet.' "
Lord Allenby was approached by
many publishers who wished him to
write a book on Palestine,' He re-
fused all the offers, and at last an
American publisher said, "Whatever
anyone else has offered you I will
double, and what is more,. I'll write
the book for you!"

Ramboulll
et rams have been pur-
chased by thein, not to increase the
number of sheep, but to improve
quality. It la expected that a better
grade of wool will be produced by
crossing of broods, In this connec-
tion, sheep shearing machinery was
bought to supplant the old-time hand
blades. This in itself Is expected to
increase the wool crop about 7%, not
because the machine shears closer
than hand blades, but because it re-
moves the .wool evenly and in •an
unbroken blanket, leaving no ridges
on the sheep,
Rusala is anxious to' enlarge its

the Queen's Own Regiment and vet- I
errin of •many campaigns, was sig-
nally. honored last Thursday on his
82nd birthday, when a dozen of his
old comrades in the regiment toasted
mmiscences of olden days was the
dominant note. :One of the stories
told of General Otter related to his
being biackballecj on his application
to join the militia: In -those days
