Chinese Army g San 'Hark! the Herald Angels" Fountleroy" Passes Away'. Francs Hodgson Burnett, creator of "Little Lord Fauntleroy," died on Wednesday night says a New York despatch.. Many years ago, the vogue of golden curie and wide lace collars, which the emcees of her novel and its adapta- tion asa display inspired, passed. But the book still forces itself upon the shelves of children's books and in the fancy land of children Mrs. Burnett under other names will go on living. She died at 76 years of age, in her home, Pdandomepark, at Plandome, L.I. She had been ill for .several months. .Even in her advanced years she kept on writing, and only two =months ago the last of .her score of novels, "Head of the House of Coombe," was published. She had written six plays, and -was editor of "The Children'a Books." "Little Lord Fauntleroy," published In 1886 in serial form in St. Nicholas, a children's magazine,' lifted her out of obscurity. It was still her prin- cipal claims to fain when she died. Her son, 'pyran, who later grew up to be an athlete and talented young man;, was the original of the story book character. A despateh from Pekin says: General Tag Yu-Hsiang's Christian troops, which seized Pekin recently to "stop the war;," marched into the city singing, "Hark! The 'Herald Angels Sing!" in. Chinese. The' soldiers, s comprising the Eleventh Division, supposedly were at the Jehol front, but, had reversed their advance and Peached Pekin by an::all-day-and all-night march. They entered the capital through the two northern gates, which, by a previously made secret . arrangement ,with Sun Pao, the -emergency defence command- er, had ommander,ahad been thrown open.

MOLSON'S BANK TO B BY THE A despatch from Montreal says:— The last of Canada's "family!' banks is to: disappear in thetaking over of the Masons Bank by the, Bank of Montreal, announced in an official etatement, The Molsons Bank, found- ed in Montreal over 70 years ago, has been in the hands of the commercial and financial family group of that name since then. The absorption of the Molsons Bank by the Bank of Montreal is, of course, subject to the , ratification by share- holders of both institutions, but there will not likely be any difficulty in se- curing it from both groups. The'Act- ing Mindsfer`of' 2+'in'nnce, Hon. J. A. Robb, has approved the transaction. The absorption of, the Maisons Bank, one of the smaller banks of tate Do- minion, by a stronger bank has been expected on the street for some time where it was regarded as a natura{ course of events. A testimony to the stability of Molsons, however, is to be found in the terms of; the absorption,, the Bank of Montreal giving two shares of its own stock fors three of Molsons and a bonus re $10 for every share of Molsons. The shareholders of Molsons will also receive their quarterly dividend, due January let, P. next. ' The list of Canadian chartered banks is reduced to 12 by the passing of Maisons, as compared with,. 18 at the beginning of 1922: Absorption of the Molsons Bank by the Bank of Montreal is the thirtieth bank amalgamation to take place in Canada since Confederation, and leaves only 12 chartered banks now operating in the Dominion, Bank amalgamations in Canada from Confederation to the present time are as follows: 1888 Merchants Bank — Commercial Bank of Canada. 1.870 Canadian Bank of Commerce-- Gore ommerce—Gore Bank.. 1875 Standard Bank of Canada -St. Lawrence Bank, 1875 Imperial Bank of Canada—Ni- agara District Bank. 1888 Bank of Nova Scotia—Union Bank of Prince.Edward Island. 1900 Provincial° Banque—La Banque Jacques Cartier. 1901 Canadian Bank of Commerce-' Bank of British' Columbia. 1902 Union Bank of ` Halifax—Com- mercial alifax-Commercial Bank oe Windsor. 1908 Canadian Bank of Commerce-- Halifax ommerce—Halifax Banking Co. 1908 Bank of Montreal—Bank of Yarmouth. Canada's winters are one of her great natural resources. The winters that prevail over the greater' portion of Canada lock up for practically the entire period • from harvest to seeding time the fertility present in the sell. The plant food thathas been con- verted into available farms during the preceding summer and autumn and which is left over after the season's growth is retained for the next .sees sone; crop. The frost holds tight within its graspuntold values in plant food, ' In regrows, where winter condi- tions are absent this soluble plant food is lost by leaching and must be replaced largely by artificial fertilizer. The Canadian winter must therefore be regarded as an agricultural asset of no mean value. Anyone who, gives thought to the effect of the bracing winter atmos- phere upon the health of the people must recognize its value in the rear- ing of a. vigorous and active populace. Canadians are proud of their winter sports, 'skating; hockey, skiing and tobogganing, which male the blood course rapidly through .the veins and tiring the bloom to the cheeks of the younger people, while those of ,more miatttre years find their winter reorea- tion. in curling.' Canadians notwith- standing, that others may •think differ- ently, do not hibernate when whiter Wme5. ' Canadian winter sports are a dis- tinct asset and,are proving an attrac- tion: to many tourists, who -come to enjoy with us our winter climate and take part,•in our winter activities and to renew the energies depleted -through residence in countries where the 're- cuperatieg winter climate is absent.
