Fisherman Wrecked
Peter was a deep sea fisherman
from one of the Maritime Provinces
who came to Ontario, married and
made his home here. Went , in for
commercial fishing, but he says the.
winter work here is even more trying
than among the fogs and ice floes of
his old fishing grounds. Of course,
he was working harder because there
were now two people dependent on
him. Anyway, he caught a .severe
cold which brought on pleurisy, and
because he is a sturdy -willed Cana-
dian lad he wouldn't give up, 'but
fought on,at home; for over a year.
No use! The doctor finally gave him
up and said he world have to, take
hospital treatment—his only chance.
So here Peter is, in the Muskoka
Hospital for. Consumptives, where
doctors and nurses of .skill and ex-
perience are trying to lead him back
to the ways of health and usefulness
again. A long road, but better this
then the fate that used almost in-
e'ett;rhly to overtake the consumptive
poor. Would you not like to help ;in
this great work? A. subscription
would mark your interest.
Such may be sent to Hon. W. A,
Charlton or A, F1, Ames, 228 College

.--Terror ' tangs,
In the .early clays of laid century,
convicts in Naples jail formed a se-
cret society in order to protect them-
selves against, the warders, The
•"
Cainarra, as this society was soli-
ed, affected great secrecy and assume
ed such importance that to,eoeak dis-
paragingly of it in public' Meant a
speedy death.
Table,. Basile, a member of this so-
ciety, kept a diary which : came into
the hands of the police when he was
arrested on the charge of killing his;
wife. The only significant entries in
this diary were the following halo -
'cent phrases:—
May 1. The violets are out. May 7.
Water to the beans. .June 11. I have
pruned my garden. August 10. How
beautiful is the sun Sept. 12, So
many fine sheep are passing.
But Table, Basile was betrayed by
a Camorrist, who declared' that every,
member of the society, on joining,
was compelled to learn a special lan-
guage of 5,000. words, for the pu•-
pose of battling people Into whose
hands Camorrist documents might
chance to fall. The diary entries real-
ly meant: -1.
May The murder has been com-
mitted. May 7. She is buried in the
wall. June 11. I have walled •up the
place. Aug. 10. My safety is come
plete. • Sept. 12. So many beautiful'
women are at my disposal.
This is one of the many amazing
tales which Mr. Herbert Vivian tells
In his enthralling new book, "Secret
Societies, Old and New."
Sicily, in addition to being . the
home of the amazing Mafia, was the
breeding ground of the "Mala Vita,"
or Evil Life Society. Under their
'chief, the "Wise Master," they spe-
cialized in cattle -stealing, agricultur-
al crimes generally, arson, and black-
mail. The initiation ceremony took
the form of the novitiate wearing
thetas and standing in an open
;grave, .swearing to give up everything
he held dear—mother and all rela-
tives-=-iithat were the will of the
'Wale Vita." The sentence for those
who did not bear true allegiance to
the society was death.
The famous "K.K,K." was formed
in 1866-67. A number of young men
were lounging in a derelict office in
Tennessee. Everyone lamented the
general stagnation, and one exclaim-'
'ed: "Say, boys, let us get up a club
or something"
The idea was a popular one. There
were six original founders, and one
suggested that it should be called
'"Kuklos" (the Greek .word for cir-
.cle.). "All right," said one of the
illiterate founders, "Ku Klux." The
"Klan" was added by a Scotsman
'with a sense of humor.
The officials were the "Grand Cy -
..clops and his Owls;" the "Grand Wiz-
ard," the "Grand Chessboard," the
"Grand Dragon and his Six Hydras,"
and the "Grand Titan and his Six
Furies," These young men found.
great "sport" in frightening Negroes
by making "farmyard noises" at dead
of night, and by dangling skeletons
and "ghosts" upon long poles. The
initiation ceremony was a very gro-
tesque affair, and sometimes was in
the nature of rolling novitiates down
the side of the mountain in a barrel.
As the "K.K.K." grew, everyone
desired to know the objects of the
society, but outside'the 'idea of pro-
viding.amusement for young soldiers
at a loose end, or of frightening Ne-
groes with skulls and conjuring
tricks," the .society had no "'objects."
Unfortunately, this was not believed,
and'to,day, although the white robes
and masks of members are ridiculed,
A
the' society tales Itself very serious-
ly,
iions -
e
ly, and its objects .are well defined.
"They attend their religious ser-
vices in serried ranks, burn fiery
orosses at funerals, and hold • melo-
dramatic meetings at midnight at
cross-roads, entreneord amid thou-
sands of automobiles covered with
white .cloths. They :persecute im-
placably all :breakers of what they
consider the moral law."
The entrance fee for membership
is $10 per head, whilst the higher !
posts have to be paid for accordingly.
Their funds to -day total an enormous
sum. When the "Emperor" William
1 Joseph Simmons, a,Methodist preach-
er who reorganized the society in
11916, retired in 1924 lee received
.$150,000, a country house in Georgia,
and an Income of '$1,000 per month
for life^
The "Assassins" were a Persian
sian
arganizatioir who despised 'death and.
torture, and who accomplished the
behests of their chief, Hassan, "Lord
rof the Mountains," with an almost •
incredible l fidelity.

order to give a demonstration of his
‘pov±rer, once clapped his, hands. Two

An ingenious machine for the re-
pair end maintaina.nce of railroad
tracks has been' experimented with
for some time by the Canadian
Pacific'Rallway, It Is reported. A
gasoline motor generates d'power
for an electric metallic are welder
and a grinder. These in, turn build
up and smooth out worn sections
of rail near joints. It can operate
anywhere on the lines, quite apart
from any outside source of electric
power.
Shipping beer by tank cars is an
innovation alike for the brewing
industry and railroading. A
London brewery is now using in-
sulated and refrigerated glass
lined tanks containing 4,800 gal-
lons to ship beer to their
Montreal bottling plant. The tanks
are the same as those used to
ship milk in bulk, but have the
addition of a safety valve to release
pressure in excess of twelve pounds
that may be generated in transit.

Christmas shipments got under

he said, the urge of the express
companies to express Christmas
presents early having a marked
effect.
Another story of a bull moose
attacking a man comes Prom Banff
Alberta, where the Mercury re-
ports,—"One of our local prospec-
tors was tramping through the
hills some miles from Banff, when
he looked forward and saw a bull
moose coming rapidly toward=
him. He took to the timber pronto.
and afterwards discovered . that
Mr. Moose bad I established his
herd of three or four cows tri n
