She carries a stick,
Its object to lick
And to'kill all the idrt which. of-

Diamond Dyes
There was once a young lady

On my skirts and my ties,
That's why I'r not shabby" says
Abbie.

Simond's Saws
We know a young man named

Than neighbours around him
Who, questioning, found him,
To use "Simond's Saws," they cut •

Bayer's Aspirin
If the "old bean" is heavy as lead,
And you need a good -working,

stead.

My -nose piped the wierdest cadenza,
That ever was heard from Ruenza,

Kirkland Lake leaders have sold at
much higher prices than those now

likely that new high record prices will
be established for both stocks, in due

Radio Operator Has Travel Record
Trained operators in charge of radio -equipped cars in daily service on
the Canadian National Railways travelled a total of 6,134,726 miles during
1928, and the most travelledoperator during the twelve months was R. K.
Anderson, who may well lay claim to a world's record for his performance.
Mr. Anderson covered 153,050 miles , on duty, a distance which represents the
cireumnavigation of the globe several times. This operator is usually on -
before reaching the same stage of
duty on board the International Limited, the fast daily train operating
between Montreal and Chicago. Trains on eight runs on the National Sy -13 -

In the Estuary
NEARING THE THREE -SCORE -AND -TEN LIMIT
ti
I have floated down the river, down life's winding, mystic River,
Whose far-off. source is hidden in the Springs of Baby's Breath;
Down the Rills of Youth and Pleasure and the Stream of fond ambition
'Tween the hills of High Desire towards the confluence with. Death.
I have run the racing .Rapids, leapt adown the Falls of Folly, -
Loitered long on LakesofLaugos and the Ponds aSelfish Ease
Now I've reached the Estuary where I feel strange hidden forces
Rushing in to meet the River, from the Ocean's mysteries.
Here I ponder, pray and wonder, as I pass the promontories,
What awaits me in that Ocean just beyond the outward bar.
Will fierce monsters of Time's morning sear my soul, all mercy scorning
Or strange Gorgon from perition life's achievements sadly mar
Will this life that I've been living blossom into wider being,
Or will dark negation claim for its prey?
"Naked came I, naked go I," is there then no time resultant?
Am. I but a ghost's dim shadow conscious only for a day?
Oh the River's current drives me and the ebbing tide out -draws me
As I hesitate and ponder on the Ultimate and Truth;
Will true loving Spirits meet me and glad, joyous, dear ones greet me?
Will the depths of ocean bring me to the lost ideals of youth?
Itiust I drift and drift without purpose, pian or anchor
And be lost for aye in space -zones of Eternity's expanse?
Is the Spirit -life by inches, atoms, volts or light-years measured,
Or is Love its gauge or unit of advance?
Will the savor of the Ocean vivify the River's driftwood
And the essence of Eternity my soul?
Will my wave lengths catch the music made by Spirit choirs or angels,
And the laws of growth, or chance, my destiny control?
So I float here on the billows as I peer across the Ocean
Listening to the voices of my long departed years;
And the cloud shapes far above me bear a strange, familiar likeness
To the comrades, long departed to the chalice of my. tears.
Over all these tides and currents.I seem to know the Presence
Of Him who stilled the tempest on the Galilean sea,
So with Faith and Hope abiding, on life's ebb tide I am gliding
Outward, onward, with Love guiding to:my final destiny.

The entire Patricia field should re-
ceive an impetus from the power de-
velopment at Lar Falls, which is now
practically assured will be under-
taken by the Hydro Electric Power
Commission of Ontario.
The Base . Meta lstocks have given
place in market prominence to the
golds, temporarily at least. It is near-
ly eighteen months since major inter-
est was shown in the old favorites,
such as Lake Shore, McIntyre, Dome
and Teck -Hughes. Hollinger has not
done much recently, but it will un-
doubtedly join the active gold group
before long. A further advance in
the price of copper to 183/4 cents has
drawn further attention to the pro-
ducers of this metal. Some of the
authorities are predicting 10 cent
copper almost immediately. This situa-
tion is a bullish card for such enter-
prises as Noranda and International
Nickel and to a smaller extent Sher-
ritt-Gordon and Hudson Bay. The
last named stock is very well regard-
ed by prominent mining interests both
in Canada and the United States. The
annual meeting of Hudson Bay Min-
ing and Smelting Co. is being held at
Woodstock, Ontario, on March 5th. I£
the director's care to take the share-
holders fullrinto their confidence they
would undoubtedly be able to create a
buoyant market situation. The insid-
ors have not rushed the stock up un-
duly, probably eonchiding that such
a policy was not desireable until the
development program was further ad-
vanced. Hudson Bay would show iiet
earnings of at least 83.50 a ton. It
will have ' an initial production of
3,000 taus daily. The conipaiiy has
ani issued capital of 2,500,000 shares.
Ore reserves are figures conservative-
ly at 20,000,000 tons. It shol,id be easy
for anyone to figure the probable pro-
fits per share, on this basis. The ulti-
mate production might easily be
double the initial mill capacity. De-
velopment of the power site at Island
Falls, Sask., is proceeding and power
should be delivered at the mine : about
the end of this year.

Young Antelopes
The following morning from camp I
watched Mother Antelope and het
two - youngsters through my glass. Be-
fore the mother went to the water
hole she 'made tbem lie down. They
vanished into the surface—melted
into the prairie. One lay by a sage
brush. I knew the exact spot, but on
going close my eyes tried a number
of times before they separated this
palpitating little body from the life-
less,
ifeless, sandy surface. Later another
mother antelope carne along and
stood near him for some time without
even detecting his Presence. A coy-
ote, too, in-zigzagginfl alongside this
youngster passed without seeing hint.
But a meadow Iark ranging near
for grass -hoppers received a sur.
prise. 1 -le wore a lordly shield of yen
low gold. From the top of the saga
brush he sent his silvery, rippling
notes across the perfumed green ot
the prairie. Hopping dower; he alight-
ed upon the warm and motionless
body of the kid. He leaped aside
in surprise and turned to look curi-
ously for that something which his
sense of touch bad diseovered.
A jack rabbit came up a ravine and
squatted near, the young antelopes
without seeing thein, tut they saw
tee rabbit. Later in. the day, when
Mother Antelope returned from the
water hole, she fed for a time near
the youngsters. When she came close
they rose up. Like a jack in the box
the astonished rabbit leaped and fled,
as though escaping a coyote. -

lopes and with three I saw the
