FRIDAY NOV. 26th, 1909 W. C. T. U. THE CRY OF THE TWO-THIRDS Shortly after putting Meg upon the bed strode out of the house. Who shall say the boy cannot suff- er as really, as exquisitely as the man ! Ben Hiltz would have found it impossible to describe Eleanor for anyone that night ; his every nerve was vibrating too keenly to the agony of loss her presence and her departure had caused her sym pathy and. loveliness instead of inspiring and soothing, had irrita- ted him with the desperation of despair. And of all despair, per- haps the despair of the young, while it lasts, has in it the most of hopeless desolation ; they have not yet learned the "nevertheless after- wards" of life's severest descipline. With the memory of her childish face before him, the melody of her voice still in his ears and because he drank that night of the in- toxicating cup' and drank deeply for a boy. "Your discouraged, Ben ; it will put heart into yon. There's nothing like forgetting trouble while you can. and there's nothing like a good glass of lager to help men to forget," said one many years the lad's senior to him, Ben's inner self reponded. `•1 must forget," and so he drank, that night when he came home ; could his mother believe it? was it only iuip.gination? As she, lifted People think that the price and her •weary eyes from the weary searoity of eggs is affected by the seam, did they encounter the great, staring eyes of her first born with all the beauty, all the soul quench- ed by strong drink? 0 mother- hood ! 0 motherhood ! who would covet thee ! at what a price those women purchase thy agonies and thy blisses, and who shall say which outweighs and who but God can range the deepest depths of either. Something was creeping over her boy's life. Bessie began to fear it before that fateful even- ing. But if she had been slow to perceive, she had been slower yet to believe, to admit the truth to her stricken heart. Was he coarser Those mother eyes. so conscious of every little grace, did they detect in his speech, his person, his man- ner a growing likeness to those about him? 0 agony ! bow she lay awake for (tread that would not let her sleep, and yet she nivat believe her bey ; she always came back to that, to distrust him was to die. Little Meg saw no lack in Ben Ray, she saw no lack in anyone like God's fair sunshine, her love touched. everything she torched was turned to gold, her love fell unstinteclly over defect, sin, hiding them at least from herself, never noblest men had richer heritage in babe than had this poor drunken father in his little girl, and never by adored sister more than Ben adored his Meg the three short years of her life, but of late excuse it as slie did, persuade herself as she might that it was not so, Bes- sie had seen unmistakably that the baby's .finger were losing their hold on her boy's heart, she fought her fear, called it delusion, blaming herself for thinking evil of her fair, proud son, nay, he was, he must he all she desired him to be ; to think otherwise was blackest despair. Only a boy, Ben needed, must and indeed would have com• panionship, yet, the companionship of his equals were denied him. That which his finer nature, more fastidious taste detested in those about him, he must yet become accustomed to, and finally the. very commonness of hien more off the fine edge of his repugnance. Bright, witty, fond of as story pr a joke and well Ableto furnish either, all his mates admired him. In sport as well as in lesson he had always been foremost at school. He must of necessity bo a leader. if it fell out that his leadership was among those of baser sort he wail not wholly to blame ; his circumstances were at fault certainly es well as A.0.11.

To y ak truthfully, his influence among these rough fel lows was largely the result of his. superiority, while be held aloof from then they resented his little refinements. The bare existence of such qualities ha one living in their midst was redkoned an insult by these sons of the slums. But when he sought their companionship, came down to their level. they lifted him, looked up to, referred to line, and, because of the very things so lately resented, gave him place above themselves. It was a place of greater peril to one of his peculiar temperament. At. sixteen he found himself is bundle ,of contradictions. hating that whioh he nevertheless did, yielding to that whioh he despised in others, slowly forming habits such as had been the source of all his woe ; ever longing to comfort, help his mother, yet steadily increasing her load, dropping to the level of his surrounding. his cgrrapanionn- ships ; seeking a depth from whioh it would take strong hands to lift him, nail pierced bands from which he would have neither grace nor will to lift himself. His mother had never been his confidante. On the contrary, he had withheld from her his fears and difficulties, trying to save her from worry. This was especially true of late. The very effort he made after self-restraint, the determination with which he checked every appearance of emotion for her sake, reacted in an irritable moroseness which wounded her most of all. Lack of sympathy kills more surely and speedily than lack of food, and kills the part of himself the man can least easily spare. Gentle, quiet, repressed and self-centered, Bessie, with all her love. had no idea of the smoldering fires pent up in the volcanic bosom of her son. She had ro gauge by which to measure the soul of the boy outside of her self and in her self she lacked thitt subtle something whicb might h .78 discerned and met his need. 'do it happened that this woman, who could have suffer- ed tortures to benefit her son could not give him sympathy where he most needed it. (To be continued) Ethel M. Williams, Pres., Supt.

That is a wrong un - pression Not long ago the Ontario Agrictiltnral College at Guelph set aside eighty hens under the conditions that prevail on the average farm. A strict record was kept,of the' laying of the hens. and these aro the interesting figures that were se- cured. The "lay" for each month was: January 777, February '791, March 1,644, April 1,930, May 1,650, June 1,066, July 941, August 386, September 236, October 161, November 114, December 538. DRYSDALE The weather during the past week has been very cold and die agreeable and things in general have put on a real winter like aspect. A number from this vicinity at- tended the anniversary services which wereheld in connection with St. .Andrews Presbyterian church in Varna on Sunday last. whioh were conducted by the Rev. David Perry B. A., of Wingham. Mr. Perry is a speaker with particular- ly good theological attainments and demonstrated the Gospel truths in an acceptable and instructive manner to a large congregation both morning and evening. Reports are circulated in the village at present stating that Miss Violet Grabiel of Durham will be the 'successful applicant who will succeed Miss E. Thompson as teacher in the Drysdale public school for the year 1910. Miss Grabiel is a young lady of scholary aptitudes and is at present in attendance at the Durham con- tinuation school . The young ladies of this section are rapidly leaving the farni and have gone to the towns and cities with a view to Materially itnprove their financial and matrimonial situation. The writer believes that this reason is sufficient to account for the fact that bachelors are so numerous in the vicinity of Drys- dale. The recently,, constrnoted tele- phone line is daily becoming more appreciated by the boys and girls who find in it a very convenient way of conversing. Although separated by a distanne of many miles the voices really sound so distinctly that the talkers believe themselves to be in reality side by side and are thereby enabled to communicate with friends often many miles distant from their place of residence. HOME AND MOTHER "What is Home -without a Moth- er?" There's the motto on the wall, hanging in a place obtrusive, where it may be seen by all ; and the question's never answered—we can't know what home would be. if its gently guardian angel in her place no more we'd see. Mother washes all the dishes and she's sweeping up the floors, while the girls are in the parlor doing Pader- ewski chores ; mother's breaking up some kindling at the woodpile by the gate, while the bnys are in the garden with their shovels, dig- ging bait ; mother's on her knees a -scrubbing, where the careless footprints are, while the father sits in comfort toiling at a big cigar. Mother sits with weary fingers, and an aching head, sew• ing, darning, for the children while they're all, asleep in bed ; mother up before the sunrise, up to labor and to toil, thinking ever of the others, in the weary round of toil. What is home without a mother? That we'll never realize till the light of life has faded from the kind and patient eyes ; when the implements of labor fall unheeded from her hand, and the loving voice is silent—then at last we'll understand. TETE COMPANION FOR CA.N- ADIANS. The Youth's Companion has long been distinguished for its famous. British contributors, Tennyson and Gladstone tire noteworthy among those of former years, and the roll includes such names as Rudyard Kipling, Sir Edwin Arnold, Sir Reginald Palgravo and the Duchess of Sutherland. During 1910 The Companion will be enriched by the contributions of many British writers. Among these are the A gang of apple packers under command of Frank McDonald of Porters Hill have been laboring in the vicinity for the past few days and after considerable difficulty and much deliberate consideration in separating the culls from among the choice fruit, have completed the contract of barreling up the fruit for the farmers.

Although many of the young peop• le have passed over to that happy land to share in the inexpressible joys which surround the domestic fireside, others stand undecided on its borders and still there is room for millions more.
