Peter Rabbit never will forget the first time that ho saw Whitefoot the Wood Mouse pop out of a nest in a bush a few feet above his head. It wasn't so much the surprise of seeing Whitefoot ae it was the discovery that that nest was Whitefoot's own. "Haub!" exclaimed Peter. "What are you doing up there? Have you been stealing, eggs?" "No, I haven't been stealing eggs," retorted Whitefoot, indignantly; "and if I haven't any business in that nest I should like to know who has? It's my nest. Who has a better right in "Your nest'!" exclaimed Peter. "Why, I thought you lived in a hol- low tree or a hollow log, or some sue place:" "In the winter I do live in a hullo tree, or -a hollow log, or a hole in the ROYAL BANK GROWS AT UNUSUAL RATE TUB TOTAL DEPOSITS ARE UP 45 MILLIONS Year's Increase of 55 Millions in Assets More Than Total As- sets Nine Years Ago. Nine years ago the total assets of the Royal Bank of Canada were $46,- 351,498; the statement forthe year ended November 30th last, just issued, shows total cossets of $253,261,247. The increase withintwelve months lead :been 56 millions, or considerably more than the total resources of the institu- tion less than a decade ago. There has been growth from with - lou through the mecaum of amalgama- tions, and presently through the same medium 20 odd millions will be added to the bank's assets by the absorption ", of the Quebec Bank. But a very eon- siderable proportion of the growth can w, be assigned to the expansion from within that comes primarily In t11e ground, whichever is most comfort- able, but in the warm weather I have a summer home, and this is it. My family has known how to build such hones ever since the days of my great -great -ever -so -great-grandfather,) when the world was young. Peter's long ears stood straight up with excited interest and curiosity.' "Tell me about it," he begged. Whitefoot sat up and daintily wash- ed his pretty white hands. "I don't think I will," he replied slowly. "You didn't believe me when 1 said that this neat was mine, and so Pm sure you won't believe the story of my great- grandfather. I don't like telling stories to people who don't believe," "But I will believe its" cried Peter.' "If you say it is true 1'11 believe every word of it. Please tell me the story, Whitefoot. Oh, please do." Peter was very much in earnest. Whitefoot's black eyes twinkled and snapped. He spoke a little pompously. "My great -great -great-grandfather, the first of all the Wood Mice, chose the Green Forest for his home instead of the Green Meadows, where his cou- sin, old Mr. Meadow Mouse, liked best to live. He chose the Green Forest because it \Gas always beautiful there, and because among the roots of the trees, and in the trees themselves, there were so many hiding -places. He was very small, just as I am, and he was very smart." "Just as you are?' inquired Peter, with a twinkled in his eyes. "I didn't say that!" retorted White - foot indignantly. "I never have claimed to be very smart, though I've been smart enough to keep out of the clutches. of Reddy Fox and Booty the Owl, and all the others who hunt me. But great -great -great-grandfather was smart. In the Green Forest he had prepared for himself many hiding - places. Some were in the ground, some were in holes in trees, and some were in hollow stumps and logs. For a while he felt quite safe and easy in his mind, even when the times had be- come so hard and food so scarce that night and day some of his big neigh- bors, like Mr. Lynx, and Mr. Fox, and Mr. Wolf, and Mr. Owl, and Mr. Hawk, and even old King Bear, were sure to prowl about looking for people like me, One day he saw old King Bear tear open an old hollow stump with his great claws, and he knew King Bear was looking for him. Another day, quite by chance, he happened to see Mr. Weazol slip into one of his smal- lest doorways, and then a great fear took hold of Grandfather Wood Mouse. His enemies knew now where to look for him and how to get into his hid- ing -places, "'I must find a new hiding -place and keep it a secret,' thought he. If he could have a home in a bush like that of Mr. Catbird, no one ever would 'think of looking for him there! 'If birds can build nests, why can't I?' thought he. All that day he watched the building of Mr. Catbird's nest, try- ing to see just how each stick was, placed and how the nest was lined with fine roots and grass and strips of grapevine bark. The next day he hunted up some old nests in bushes not too high above the ground and climbed up to them. He even pulled some of them to pieces to see how they were made. "'Believe I can do itl' he exclaim- ed to himself. 'I do believe I can do itt' "IIe remembered an old nest in Bramble Bush, not far from where he lived. This he examined very eare- fuily. It would do for a foundation. Then lie went to work, taking care to work only when no one was near to discover his secret. He brought grass and fine roots, and he made that nest snore comfortable than it had been when it was first built. Then he built a roof over it so that it would shelter him in bad weather, end to get into it,he made a little round doorway, When it was finished he was very proud of it, as he had reason to be. Ile carried seeds into it, and then he made it his home for the summer "mal way into the fall. Of course no one ever dreamed of looking for him in what seemed like a bird's nest:, and really a time he peeped out and watch- ed his hungry neighbors walk right ' nectar him without suspecting that he We:; near. "Of course he taught his children the secret of nest building, which ho had learned from tho birds, and that has been the most precious seerot: in our faintly ever s1110.

"No," Said Peter, "1 won't tell any - One, Of rousse I won't," 'ease of a banking house, from the de- !velopment of public confidence in the .wisdom and integrity of the manage - Ment.. Nine years ago the savings funds entrusted to the Royal Bank amounted to 20 millions; they were in excess of 141 millions this year. The bank's ability to render service to the "com- munity has grown concurrently; against business advances of less than 20 millions nine years ago the cur- rent statement shows 87 millions in Canadian territory and 38 millions abroad. -. The 25 per cent. increase in assets within the past year is a remarkable record in a number of ways. A year ago the bank -`was able to report a 20 -million dollar gain, bringing assets close to 200 millions, a new high level. As the bank depends on general rather than special conditions for its growth, and is not the custodian of special funds, government or other, the 55- million expansion on top of a record- breaking year is significant of busi- ness activity and prosperity within the territory that it serves. The year's growth, it may be pre- sumed, has been widely distributed. Although the general tendency of com- mercial discounts in Canada through the year was downward, the Royal reports an increase of about five millions or six per cent.; the increase, actually and relatively, in current loans abroad, is larger, about 13% millions, or 65 per cent. The latter, it may safely be conjectured, is a normal sequel to the great activity and prosperity of the sugar industry in the West Indies. That condition was largely responsible for the fact that the Royal was one of the few Canadian banks to report an in- crease in profits in 1915. The increase that year was a moderate one of $19,- 434, but the 1916 statement shows the substantial gain of $205,731, bringing profits within about $50,000 of the bank's best earning year, 1913. There was slightly better demand for money in Canada: a much improved demand in the bank's outside territory. The increased demand abroad; no doubt, has peen met, and probably something more, by the rising bank deposits abroad. The breadth of the situation continues important from the shareholders' standpoint; a diminished demand in one section of the bank's territory can be offset by an increased demand in another; and the bank is in a position to direct funds in large amounts to the point of best demand. With profits of $2,111,807,' equal to 17,$7 per cent. earned on the average paid-up capital, against 16.48 per cent. the previous year,.the bank paid its. usual 12 per cent. dividend on a slight- ly increased amount of std'ek, set aside 100,000 for pension fund, wrote off 9250,090 on bank premises, paid a tax of $118,226 on circulation and contri- buted $50,000 to the Patriotic Fund. After these deductions $175,874 re- mained to be added to profit and loss balance. Comparisons of profit and loss figures for three years are given in the following table: 1910 1916 1914 Profits ,32,111,307 31.,005,570 31,886,142 Pret•. bol. 076,472 614,082 1,016,119 Total —92,787,770 $2,487,770 52,519,638 92,901.,262 LBa6• Dhdd, 31,417,207 $1;387,200 $1,387,200 ,Pension F 100,000 100,000 100,000 Premises H'31(11 260,000 250,000 I W r tax 106;060 Patriotic 500,000 Patriotic P, X60,000 60,000 Ttl, ded. 91,985,433 31,843,106 $2,287,200 Bal. is & L. 852,340 676,472 614,002 Some of the increases shown in the balance sheet have already been re- ferred tq in a genera] way. Deposits in the aggregate show a gain of about 45 millions, with slightly more than half the increase under the head of savings deposits. Part of the in- crease, it has been indicated, found _employment in current discounts, wliieh'were approximately 18 millions higher than a year ago. The bulk of it, however, is represented among as- sets of a liquid description—cash, call loans, securities, banking balances, ete., all showing increases. Under one of the security heads there is an increase of close to 11 millions, which represents, no doubt, the purchase of British Government securities in con- i neetion. with munitions credits. The aggregate of liquid assets is 121 !millions, a gain of about 30 millions, and increasing the proportion of such, 'assets to public liabilities to 53.2 per cent. against 49 per cent, the previous year and 46 per cent, in 1914. Cash,' 'incIuding cover in the central gold re- serve for excess note circulation, re- presents 16,2 per cent. of liabilities to the pul2jicesagainst 18.4 per cent. in I 1915. The position in this, as in other re-, spects should be satisfactory to both shareholders and depositors. The bank has been able to find reasonably profitable employment for a large amount of money, while increasing actually and relatively the strength of its liquid reserves. Some loading comparisons of the balance sheets of the past two years follow: SUGGEST NICKEL COINAGE. Professor Says Canada Could Make Millions With It, A proposal whereby the Dominion can make 95,000,000 to 910,000,000 11y substituting nickel for silver coins has been submitted' to the Federal au- thorities at Ottawa by Prof. Leacock, of McGill University. The professor, explaining his scheme, points out that silver is only a token to -day, and can be replaced by nickel, or tin, or cella- loid, for that matter. He would call in the $20,000,000 of silver coins in circulation and sell the metal in them as bullion. There is about seventy cents worth of silver in a dollar's worth of coins, Nickel is worth fifty cents a pound, and the total coinage could be replaced for 9350,000. The cost of coinage would be offset by the saving now and in the future in buy- ing nickel instead of silver. The pro- fessor proposes that the banks should act as agencies in exchanging the nickel for the silver coins. He under- takes to Bary out the scheme himself without salary. He suggests that the original recoinage should bear the stamp: "War money of Canada, 1917," and it would act as a monument of Canada's national thrift. i� Granulated Eyelids, ��5 Eyes inflamed by e__xppo- sure to Son, Elul and Mad �t--� quickly relieved b3'Madae �go, Eye Remedy, No Smartin . g lust Eye Comfort.

Old Country Liquor Dealers Organize for Protection. The "lid" is being tilted so often by. saloonkeepers in England that theJ liquor dealers themselves, fearing! this continued winking at the closing .time, may advance the interests of prohibition, have launched a move- I ment for a more rigid enforcement of the law, It is proposed that any violations of the regulations will result in the sus- pension of the license until the end of the war. Another proposal is that a second violation of the law be pun- ished by imprisonment, and that , the; offender be debarred from further em- ployment in the liquor trade. In Birmingham the liquor interests • have organized a vigilant police ser -1 vice of their own to see that the law is not violated. IIe Thinks.

The Germans, however, have been bombarding one of their recently lost Positions. It is a favorite occupation of the German gunners—this shelling a position they know so well after they have been driven from it. And such "strafing" calls for a reply, even if the enveloping fog permits one to see scarcely beyond the grim muzzle of the giant gun itself. Such fighting as this makes war seem intensely imperial, and in the colorless -language of the official com- munique may appear something like this: "There was considerable hostile shelling to -day against our front on both sides of the Ancre, Our retalia- tion was prompt and effective." One knew that if the British shells were truly searching their way through the opaque mist to their charted destination the reply must be n11 that the communique claimed.

Low hanging, damp leaden skies have shrouded the land in gloomy darkness, and observation has been al- most wholly impossible. For the past seven days there has been a thicic mist, while on two occasions the war zone has been completely curtained in by a mantle of heavy fog. But through this gray murk the guns 1 ept hammering away—firing at the unseen enemy — harrassiing post roads and railheads or any other "registered" place where he was like- ly to be busy with the multitudinous affairs of war between . the lines, writes a correspondent at the front. A battle in the fog—and •nearly overt' detached engagement in this struggle on the Somme could be class- ed as a battle by ordinary standards —is a wierdly mysterious and uncan- ny affair.

So intense was the bombard- ment at one time, with the shells rushing in opposite directions over- head, that the mingled sounds became like the singing of storm winds. Each calibre shell has its own par- ticular, plaint, sometimes sadly melan- choly in the distance and again spite- fully fierce in its nearness. It is a great source of satisfaction when, under the tutelage of an experienced officer, one comes to distinguish for one's self the difference between the outgoing screech of the friendly shells and the incoming "whang" of what the "Tommies" call "another Present front the Bodies."
