It was out of his own past life as,,;a
bay, that E, W. Beatty, president et the
Cenladian Peoiiit Railway, went a few
days:eg'ot for the foundation of en in-
tensely interesting talk as bogs
o#' Shawbridge Boys' Farm and Train-
ing School hi particular, but in reality
to all Canadian boys
"When I was thirteen years of ag+e
arad had finagled one year's, course 1i
a prominent school in Toronto," said
Mr. Beatty, "my parents received a re-
part,.evhich, Without bragging, I think,
I may say was the wort report ever
written about a boy; Wlien this
report was received it was accolnpan
tied. by a ,note that in the opinion of the
principal of that sehtcoi it would get
along fairly well if I (lid not return."
-Thevery first words of encourage-
ment he received came from a teacher
in the new school to: which be was sent
by his parents. "He told me that some
day if I worked hard I might amount
to something, which was news to me-.
I had never heard it before. In any
event he gave me an inspiration to
study, and so I worked, and the more
r worked the more I realized how valu-
able it was, and as the yearn went on
my appreciation of this fact increased
until I am now satisfied that no one
ever succeeded who did not work and
that fortuitaus events, or accidents do
not make for permanent success,
"None at yen," continued Mr.,Beatt+y,
"will ever regret the time you have
spent in mastering things which ap-
pear hard or curing yourselves of
habits whiclhl you have iniherited or
which you have acquired.: The older
you grow the more you will realize the
fact that mem even in this young coun-

petition is, keen and men more numer-

"You will be told that your object in

because without ambition to a success

helpful to others, and, above all, re-
tains hie own self-restpeet, which iii-

gardlese of whether he is the peeeleaser
of money or without it."
Some of the thiege that Mr. Beatty
emphasized as necessary to attain suc-
cese were: good health, honesty, physi-
cal courage;especially moral courage,

and courtesy almost synonymous'

A young .lady bought an illustrated,

As sl1:e turned over the pages, her face

turning to the newsagent, she exclaim-
ed,:
"I want you to take this paper back."
"Why?" asked the newsagent.
"Why? Because it's no use to me.
It hasn't got a single picture of the
Prince in it!"
"Are you sure?" said the newsagent,
unable to believe his. ears.
He looked through the paper him-
self, and lel—she was right.
"Well, my advice to you le to keep
that copy," -observed the newsagent,
"Such a paper should be valuable in
time. It's probably unique!"
Summer Rain.
Ever so softly
Comes down- the rain,
Blessing with cooinese
The hot earth again.
Dropping dawn gently
Through the tired trees,
Singing a lullaby
Of peace in the leaves.
Kissing the grass
With the kiss of a lover,
Blessing the mounds
That our sorrows cover.
Lifting a fragrance
Up from the sod,
Rich with the loving
Mercy of God!

groups -of families, . •and sometimes

the old clan names. For the most part
they were not -exactly family names,
and indicated .nothing more than the

ed right through the period of Norman
conquest ariddomination,to emerge as
real family names at a later period.
These ancient Saxon tribal names all
ended in "ing" more anciently "ingas."
The "Dunningas," or "Dunnings, like
the Brownings, of course, meant "the
dark people," or the "brown people."
If we allow ourselves to venture in --
to speculative history, in the period be=
fore the Saxons come to England, we
would assume that this tribe, possibly,

admixture of blood, or possibly
through the -color of the tribal dress,

well the method in which
qualities of ,charaoteristics of a per-
sonal nature have beenperpetuated h , er etuated in
hereditary surnames.
It was quite common in t'h'e middle
ages, when epeaking of a. man, to refer
to some well-known characteristic of
his; whether mental, moral ar physical,
in order •to distinguish him in, the
hearer's mind from ether men of the
same given name:
Since men did not noose these sur-
names themselves for the most part,
but were Zeroed to accept what cue -
tom . in the speech of their neighbors
gave to them, just as the small b6y to-
day has no appeal from the nick -name
which his companions see fit to confer
on him, the surnames were not always
complimentary. However, that from
which the family name of Boone has
developed was complimentary, except,
perhaps, in instances when it was
given to the first bearers in derision.
Boone is simply the modern form
which has developed from the Anglo-
Norman word (which also is the
modern French word) "bon," meaning
"good."
YOUR STAVED NERVES
The Cause of Neuralgia --Must„
be Treated Through the.
Blood.
Neuralgia ie the cry of the nerves
for more and better blood. ' It means
that the nerves are b.'.ug s!tarve{i. Like
every other part of the body the nerves
receive their nourishment through the
blood. There is therefore no doubt
that Dr. William& Pink Pills will
Prove beneficial even in extreme, Gases
of neuralgia. -These pills increase and
enrich the blood supply, carrying to,.
the nerves the elements then, need,
thus driving away the sharp, 'tortur-
ing pains' which nearly drive the suf-,
fever wild. The benefit given by Dr.
'Williams' Pink Pills . in cases of thin
kind is shown by the case of; Miss
Carrie V. Fletcher, Ravenscliffe, Ont.,
wee says:—"As the result of a severe
wetting I got while out in a rain kitorm,
I was attacked with neuralgia, from
which I suffered greatly, and ;'which
kept me awake night after night. Al-
though the pain diminished somewhat,
I began to suffer in other ways. 'My;
appetite was poor; I got thin and had
no energy. Indeed, I was becoming a
wreck of my. former self. I was ,ad-
vised to try pr. Williams, Pink Pills,

will give them a fair trial."

Where the Piano, Palled..
He had been sent to a certain house
to tunethe piano.
He found - the instrunient in good
conditioli, and not in the least in the
need of attentions
A few day's later his employer re-
ceived a letter from the owner of the
piano—a lady of would-be musical ac-
complishments—stating that the pian
had not been properly tuned,
"It was," she -stated, "no better than
before."
The hapiese tuner received a severe
reprimand from his employee and
then was sent out to make another
trip, Arriving •et the house, he again.
examined the instrument, and clearly
there was nothing the matter with it.
This' time he told the lady se.
"Yes," she admitted, "it' does . seem
all right—doesn't it?—when you play
on it; but as' soon as I begin to sing
it gets out of tune."

Canada's Forest ,Experiment
Stations.
While forest experiment .stations,.
like agricultural expei•iipe.nt stations,
have long been itnowu in Europe they
are new in Canada. The Dominion
Forestry Branch of the Department of
the Interior has two such stations, one
at ; Petawawa, Ontario, and the other
at Lake Edward, Quebec, with esth-
ete one
ub-Station ioroated in other provinces. At
these stations every feature of forest
growth is studied, just as agricultural
stations and experimental farms. As
the agricultural stations• have added
to the value of farm oro:ps' by introduc-
ing new varieties and new methods, so,
it is expected, the forest experiment
stations will increase the quality and
gnat- tity of forest crops by discover-
ing what varieties do best in certain
localities, andby finding out what
.methods of seeding, planting, mixing
es species, thinning, draining, etc., new
forests cans be grown most rapidly to
take the. place of those cut down and
destroyedby fire.

Bluster, brutality, coarseness, are no
match for gentleness, sweetness court-
esy. Il:ow often we see a big vulgar,
Loud mouthed, bragging bully complete-

cawrteous words from a sweet woman.
A smile is the strongest possible wea-

the boarish and the disgruntled; it
lifts the shadows, and brings light
where before allwas darkness. It is
all the time winning new friends, new.
