EVIDENCE.
Buaffol,•N. Y. Jan, 3, 1220.
To whom it may concern:
"'This is to certify that I take the
" greatest pleasure in testifying to the
fine ability of Mr. A. W. Murdison,
"as an entertainer who is touring the
U. S. •and Canada, in theatrical
sketches of •a Scotisli character, iii
which he so ably typifies in every
way, the character of the true Scot,
This young and able comedian is cer-
tainly entering upon a brilliant car-
eer, wlifch in the opinion of many
will prove second to none, and will
compare more than favorably with
thQ r•reat 'Lauder" himself,
was my good.fortune to secure
his services for "Hogmany meth",
as a part of the programme for
our annual . celebration, which was
the largest attendance ever seen
at our beautiful Club House. The re-
ception which Mr. Murdison received
and the encores which he was asked
to respond to, is a sufficient recom-
mend to his gifts as an entertainer
of unusual and great ability... His
portrayal of the "Rollickying"Scot"
together with his numerous Scottish
jokes, made a great impression on
the large attendance. Should he ever
come this way again, he will receive
even a greater reception. I predict
for him a great and brilliant future
in his chosen vocation.
Respectfully,
(Signed) Glenn 0: Campbell.

WHAT IS A BOY WOIRTH?
n
i
t
Did you ever stop 'to figure up the
e
investment which Canada has in her;
boys? • ,
Every boy has two eyes which, ac-
cording to the table of accident insur-
ance, are worth $2,000 apiece; two
ears worth as much as his eyes; two
hands worth $1.,000, and two arms
and two legs worth $4,000. , Canada's.
500,000 boys in their teens are worth,.
according to 'these figures, $6,500,000
000, •
What do these figures mean ?
Canada's teen-age boys, are worth
in cold cash, tldee and a half flutes as
much as all her railways; three
and a half tinios as much as all her
capital and plant in manufactures;
nearly twice as much as all her
farms! nearly as much as all her in-
vested money and.about one-third of -
her _total national wealth of all
kinds. And this says melting of what
those hands, ears, eyes and feet -are
worth through the years in earning
and producing power.
What is Canada doing to make' the
most of her boys? I-iow is she seek-
ing to draw forth to full development
their complete' powers, to realize fully
this great national asset? What are
you doing ?-Canadian Metter,
