GOOSIE GANDER LEARNS TO
WANDER,
Once upon a time an old gander,
who had spent all his days in the
poultry yard, became restless and de-
cided that he would like to get out
and see something of the world.
Being timid about taking so bold, a
step alone, he invited the farm dog to
accompany lam, Of course the dog
was agreeable to anything in the na-
ture of adventure and, on the follow-
ing day, the gander made his escape
from, the poultry yard, met the cleg,
and they sot out across the fields,
"You see," said the simple old gan-
der,"if 1 had attempted to take this
trip alone, I could not be certain of
finding my way home again,"
"Oh, that is easy, replied, the dog.
"Of course, I go largely by scent but
your sense of scent is not very keen.
If -I were in your place, I should keep
' my eyes open and take notice of
things along the way. That will be a
help to you in finding your way back,"
"A' vary excellent idea," said the
gander, with a look ,of wisdom and
understanding that meant nothing,
for he had very little of these two
qualities.
They walked a long distance over
fields .and through weeds and it was
late in the afternoon when they turn-
ed their .steps toward home.
After some minutes'- the gander
said, "Are we going in the right direc-
tion? I remember seeing a field quite
like the one over yonder but there was
a black and white spotted cow in the
field, I recall."_
The gander was for turning back

costs him.
A"sense"of humor is just the sense
of prop'artion that enables us to see

et is the thing that keeps us from Milk -
Mg mountains out of molehills, and
that gives us the courage to smilo'in-
eteactf
but the' dog said, "No, let us go on."
So they went on their way.
An hour passed and the gander
spoke again. "I am quite sure we
are' wrong," said he. "I remember
seeing an. in
.tree similar to the
one over in that orchard but the tree
I saw was loaded with nice ripe ap-
ples. I think we are making a great
mistake and are getting farther and
farther from home."
"Have no fear," said the dog. "I
am thankful "T do not have to trust
my safety to people like you."
Again they went on their way, and
it was nearly dark when the gander
spoke for the: third time.:
"I knew we were wrong," said he.
"This is what comes of not insisting
on ufipg my own good judgment. Do
you see that fence to the left of us?
I should say that it was the same one,
we saw shortly after we started out
this morning, if it were not far the
fact . that I was keen enc sgh Web -
serve that there was a crow sitting on
that other fence. You have' had your
way twice and see what has come of
it! Now -I insist on turning back,"
"Very well," said the dog, who,was,
by this time, quite out of patience.
You may go where you please. It is

a hurry to get back home, •but before
I leave you' I will take the time to

1. THAT IMPORTANT
FUNNY -BONE!
A man told me (writes Dorothy Dix
that he did not marry until he was
forty -fire years old because he was de-
termined not to marry., any woman
who did not. liave a sense of humor,
and it took him that time to find one.
A wise man! It is a million times'
more important for a woman' to Have
a well-developed funny -bone than it is
for her to have a Grecian profile,' yet
when ureu decide to marry they pick
out a girl for a wife because she has
soulful blue eyes, without observing
whether they look on the funny side of
life or take a dark, pessimistic view of
it. Which Is one reason why domestic
life is no merry jest to the average
husband.
It is absolutely essential for a wo-
' man to have a sense of humor if she
is to be an agreeable partner, because
a woman's existence is made up of lit-
tle, nagging things at which she must
either laugh or cry. If she cannot
laugh them off, they get on Iter nerves
and she goes to pieces,
Women Who Wreak Marriages.

'who wear the smile that won't come
off get to be fair, fat, and forty, and
you couldn't get their husbands away
from them.
It is the lack of a sense of humor
that causes women to make tragedies
instead of comedies out of trifles. Take

Letting the Angel Out.
There is a story of a sculptor wito
while he was engaged in overseeing
some dten unloading g large bloclt of
marble at the door of hie studio no-'
ticed a email boy standing near'^by, In-
tently watching. When the piece was
dually in place the eculptor examined
it carefully and angered it reverently
as he thought of the possibilities hid-
den, away in it. Observing that the
boy was still watching, be asked him
good-naturedly what he thought, of
the block.
"I don't think it's very pretty yet,"
was the reply, "but I suppose you ex -
pact to make something out of it, don't
yOn?„
"No;' answered the artist whimsical -
la, ."I don't expect to make anything
out of it at all. I expect to find some-
thing in it." Then, seeing the look of
incredulity on the boy's face, lie add-
ed kindly. "There's' au angel in th.
block, and all I have to do is to knock
off the outside pleces and let the angel
out." •
Oluistian mu and woni.on ought to
remember that their work is closely
analogous to the sculptor's.: Wiiat is
it that confronts God's children every-
where? Is it not, the task of taking the
rough,,unattractive material of Marian
life and character and through prayer
and untiring effort and patience, bring
the hidden angel out? Could you
imagine any work that is more im-
portant or more pleasing in the sight
of God?
Yet we should not forget that the
successful accomplishment' of it pre-
supposes something, it presupposes,
vision. We can never bring an angel
out of: the block until we have first
seen it within, and to see it we, must
look with the heart as well as-witb the
eyes. Itis the heart of love that sees
Possibilities beneath the rough ex-
terior. `I1 was thus that the Master
saw Matthew, the publican. . He saw

But mere vision is not enough. We
must also have patience, sympathy and

The Cottage Craft
A novel and unique feature of Cana-
dian artistic endeavor and industrial
art, found•at the British Empire P1x-
hibition, is the New Brunswick' Cat'
tage Craft exhibit installed by Miss
Helen G. Mowat, who has been the in-
stituter and promoter of this work.
Whilst it does not represent any broad
phase of present-Canadianaetivity, it
is of considerable interest as the only
Canadian art idustry originating in,
and being entirely circumvented by
the farm, combining in the most ad-
mirable manner modern industry, na-
tive tradition, and artistic "expression.
Ten years ago Utak Itlowat, who re-
sides on a farm in, the neighborhood
of St, Andrews, New Brunswick, and
is an artist of some ability, training,
and vision, gave herself up to the pro
oration of this novel combination of
art and industry by reviving the tra-
ditional industries of the Maritimes of
weaving, rug making, and embroidery.
Her object in so doing was manifold,
and in itself a combination of the ar
tiatic and practical. She visioned
through the encouragement of artistic
expression, and the promotion of an
intensive industry in conjunction with
the agricultural life, the development
of a sense of beauty in immediate sur-
roundings and the intimate things of
everyday Iife, and through this a great-
er content and satisfaction in farm
life, she aleo visualized the material
profits to be derived from the more ex-
tensive and diversified utilization of
home products,'

Miss Mowat is herself the only art
director of these farm folk, and her
teaching consists mainly in merely di-
recting their attention. to the natural
beauty in their lite. She goes round
the farming districts tributary to St,
Andrews, the sphere of her activities
being of about forty miles radius, and
teaches' her pupils individually, Where

roaches au unusual degree of prodci-
enoy, she places him or her in charge
of a small group to carry on the work.
Products Finding Ready Sale.
She is likewise the only marketing
agenoy of the industry, transacting all
the sales for the farm workers. The
products were fleet sold .on her awn
farm, and later abonse for the purpose
was purchased in St. Andrews, which
she finances. A. great deal' of material
is sold to local tourists, and orears
are received from all parts of the
American oontinent, and are inci:eas
leg as these artistic farm products are
becoming more widely known.
A recent turn Miss Mowat's activity
has taken has been to utilize the New
Brunswick pottery clay in the seine
satisfactory manner. An expert was
secured. from England to organize a
ceramic industry, and last year this
hada turnover of 920,000. Workers in
this phase of native industry are
trained aloncl the same artistic lines.
311, Miss Mowat's opinion. Chia work
has only commenced, and she plans
elaborate expansion in this combina-
tion of native industry with artistic ex-
pression. Family weaving is planned
for the farm houses, r wood carving,
making jewellery from ,pebbles, and
various forms of woodwork. Where -
ever native materials are found close
at hand this dwellers on the farms will
be trained in their economic utiliza-
tion, making their leisure more profit,
able, developing an appreciation of the
beautiful in Maritime associations,
and bringing about a contentment and
satisfaction in rural life.
The exhibit at the Empire Exhibi-
tion consists of an assortment of pot-
tery, woollen and worsted products of
au artistic nature, all decorated: with
scenes from New Brunswick lite. In
addition there are also rugs and em-
broidered pictures depicting the same.

• is $325,000 higher than the value in
1922, and the highest' aggregate re-
corded since the year'1919. The pro-
duction .of wool is lower than 1922, but.
the increased value accounted for by
the higher pries prevailing in 1923,
the 23 cents obtainable in 1923 com-
paring with 17.5 cents in 1922 and 13
cents In 1921, the lowest in the post-
war period.
Mary's home was a dreary fourth -
story bedroom in a dreary boarding
house. in Waverly Place,; but she had
taken it because of the trees. Waver-
ly Place was 'a narrow cross street,
and the trees' on were poplars. Many
people did not like them, but to Mary,
especially now in April, the trees with
their vivid new leaves were the love-
liest thing the city held for her; and
later through the dog days when other
trees were still, hers were always full
of soft. whisperings. When she lay oh
her lumpy bed and' gazed out the win-
dow the city all fell away, and, look-
ing into her treetops, she dreamed' of
a world of wide country spaces.
At last the long day dragged to an
end, and Mary was free. Hot as it
was, she hurried through the streets.
Twenty minutes later she was stand-
ing stunned at the corner of Waverly
Piave. Where in the morning she,liad
left leafy green pillar's there were two
rows of bare trunks with stumps of
branches. The trees had been cut
back.
Mary ate no dinner that night. A
miserable weak followed. She shut
her heart :, against everything. She
was bitterly angry.
Nearly tveo.weeks .after the cutting
of the tree s a quotation that she had
onoe'read began bauntieg her: "`There
is no such thing as tragedy' to the
brave," Mary frowned. If you ac-
cepted tragedy, then you were a cow-
ard! She 111 not like that. 'Besides,"
she acknowledged to herself, "I've
tried being miserable for two weeks,
and it hasn't been a success. I be-
lieve I'll try the other way for while."
The next evening a frail white-faced
girl across the street waved to her.
Three days later she beckoned her
across and tossed a rose down. "It
looks like you," she said. "I've been
waiting to give it to you all day."
A month later Mary was sitting
curled up on her newfriend's bed.
The girl, Alice, was in the big chair
by the window, where she spent her
days.
"And to think," Mary said with a
long breath, "that we've lived opposite
each other for nearly two years, and

Industry on Sounder Footing.
It is interesting to note in recent
years the 'increase in the number of
sheep kept and the annual output of
wool, and wbilst the value of the year-
ly crop does not show the same incre-
ment, this is due entirely to the nue
tuation of prices which hoe character-
ized the years since the war. The in-
dustry is, es a matter of tact, on a
much sounder footing and exhibited a:
certein gratifying development, This
is exhibited in the progress of the 1u-
dustry since the war be spite of the
various vicissitudes it has sustained.
In 1916 the wool clip of Canada at
an average price of 28 cents a pound
was worth $3,360,000.. In 1918 • and,
1919, with the extraordinary price of
60 cents a pound prevailing, it .reach-
ed a value of 912,000,000, Since that
time the progress hasbeen towards
normalcy. The clip of 1920 eras valued
at 95,280,000, at an average pries of 24
cents. The 1921 clip was valued at
$2,976,000; that of 1922 at 93,149,000;
and 1923 at $3,574,000.
Canadian wool produots for 1924 are
considered satisfactory There are 84,-
000,000
4,000,000 less sheep iu the world to -day
than there were in 1913,- The present
production' is at least 250,000,000
pounds of pre -was production as com-
pared with an average rate of con-
sumption equal to the pre-war rate of
consumption. This is considered to
be of great benefit to the Canadian
wool producer, who, according to the
Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers,
has dons better financially with his
sheep than any other phase of his
term operation.
Importations High Grade Stock.
In the past few years e. great deal
of progress has been made in the
sheep industry of Western Canada,
where the real development of the fu -
tura is to be expected. A great deal-
of attention is being Raid to sheep
rearing there The establishment of
the Prince of Wales' ranch, and .the
subsequent importation of high grade
stock, has had ite effect upon the Indus-
try. The governments have exerted
themselves in providing the farmer
with a higher grade of stock for breed
ing purposes. Throughout the area
more attention is being paid to this
phase of •animal husbandry than for
some
time.
