MOTHERHOOD (The Toronto Globe) Oh, Mary the mother smiled tenderly On the worshipping group in the stable bare, In pride she unveiled the Baby's face, Nor knew that -her own was passing fair. And Mary the mother, devotedly, Her sturdy lad to the temple brought, In simple obedience to the law; Nor knew that the doctors by Him were taught. Oh, Mary the mother wept bitterly, When the dying Jesus called her name; In deepest anguish she bade Him farewell, Nor knew that to save a world He came. And every mother, resignedly, In solitude walketh the self -same road, A baby worshipped, a Sad inspired; Nor knows that a man hath eased life's load. E. LIILLI'A:N MORLEY.

OPENING WINTER ROADS GAINING FAVOR During the past two or three weeks snow fences have been placed in the fields adjoining the Provincial high- way. Snow fences are just emerging from the experimental stage, having conte into extensive highway use within the• past few years. 'Results have been found satisfactory in pre- venting large drifts from forming. These modern silon- fences are close -fitting wooden pickets inter- woven with wire, and are supported by steel posts driven into the ground. In this vicinity tall fences are placed on the south side of the highway and 100 to 150 feet back from the road. Down towards !Kitchener the fences are all an the north side. Mr, Frank Glew, highway patrolman from Dub- lin to Goderich, and Clinton to Cen- tralia, has had charge of the work here, No difficulty has been exper- ienced in securing permission from farmers to place the fences on their land. In a few cases it has been ne- cessary to set the fences its fields of fall wheat, in which cases any re- sulting damage to the crop will he made good. The curves and angles with which the fences are set shows fiamiliarity with the location of snow- drifts of former years. In the Spring, these fences will be rolled up and stored away; Two carloads of snow fences werereceivedbY Mr. Glew this year, which combined with that usdd last year, makes a good equipment. The partner of the snow fence is the big snow plow—which, by the way, should be 'called a °'Snow -Drift Plow," tocorrect an erroneous im- pression regarding its work, The plow leaves several inches of snow on the roads. Its work is mainly to open a way through drifts and with the. aidof silo fences it isexpected drifts will seldom ;become too big for the plow, 1Vhen railways, and even the auto- mobile, ";first carte into existence they were bitterly denounced for all, man - net of reasons, and it seems to have been the sante with tate opening of the roacis in, winter, Itis noticeable, how- ever, that ;opponents ofthe pro- ject last year are in 'flavor of it this year. The Government is not forcing the plow on any district and does not send it unless invited. All the towns on the highway between Stratford and Godeeich, we tinder - stand, have requested this service; LIONS CHRISTMAS TREE.
