W. H. HOFFMAN instructions authorizing the ,magi - trate that "Where a man has been found guilty of an offence, which, in the magistrate's judgment, seems worthy of deCing leniently with, the sentence may he suspended and the prisoner placed upon his good be- haviour." Like an oasis to a thirsty traveler in a desert did this passage loora nP before the worried man. With lila best judicial air he straiglatened up, eyeing the prisoner sternly. Then in most solemn tones he addressed the prisoner at the bar: "Archie Mac- kenzie, you have pleaded guilty •to the charge of piracy an the high seas, as laid against you by Cyrus Jones. Under the criminal code of the land You have committed a very 'serious offence --one of the gravest the law is called upon to deal vvith. The sen- tence—and there is only one—is death." At these last words bis man- ner became exceedingly solema. Even the prisoner looked glum. Tho crowded listeners held their breath in anticipation of the denouement. Then in slightly lighter tone, but without relaxing in severity of .man- ner, the magistrate ..proceeded: "However, L: the present ease, I hardly think the act warrants this extreme measure, and I am going to exereise"—and here Carlson swelled himself up. his judicial manlier be- came grand, dignified, as became one invested with majestic power of the law—"one of the privileges which the law -makers of the nation, with great foresight, have seen fit to place in the hands of the justices appoint- ed to deal with such matters through- out the land. . . ." There was a. long pause, then: "I find you guilty of the charge, but this being your first offence, and as you have been long a peaceable and respected member of the community, I will suspend sentence. You may go." As we go to press, preparations are going forward. to entertain the soldiers in Zurich.

Bossenberry, John I, rlier Auctioneer Chris Gaseho Executors of the estate of the late Joseph Oesch This One Has Very Prnctical Notions Iiegardiug Welfare. An organization of church workers in Toronto has entered upon the re- ligious duty of praying for the wel- fare of soldiers at the front, says The Toronto Star Weekly. Each member is given the name and. ad- dress of one particular soldier, pray- ers for whose welfare are to be regu- larly made. To each soldier a friend- ly letter is sent by the person ,ahe has undertaken to make intercessions for him, so that. he may know that be is not forgotten and that his welfare is being made the subject of prayers by somebody at home who never knew him. One Toronto lady having' written to her unknowu soldier re- ceived the following reply:: Branshott, Eng., Jan. 24., 1916. Dear Madam,—I was pleased to hear that you were the one who was elected to pray for me. I very often' think of you praying for me. Well, we had a line trip over here, but we have landed. in a deuce of a country, nothing but rain and mud, and the "eats" are something ter- rible, uneatable in fact. I would be very glad if you would. send me some cakes, cigarets, and candies from Toronto; it would be a real treat, and if 1 ever get back I would reward you to the best of my ability. I would also like some magazines, Life, Police Gazette, and Jack Ca- nuck; these are the only ones I would read, nothing anything worse would I read. Well, I must close now, hoping for a decent reply from you. If you have a nice daughter, unmarried, tell her to write, or in fact make her, as it would cheer one lonely soul who is broke in England. Well, with lots of love to yourself and daughter, and for God's sake do not forget the eats and tobacco. I remain your sincere soldier friend, P.S.—Address all parcels to above address. This soldier appears to be a most practical -minded man. Ho is one who thinks that faith without works is dead. 14e appreciates prayers, but he looks tor parcels. If it is his wel- fare that is in mind, he has very practical ideas as to the most bit - mediate means whereby it may be promoted. The lady who received this reply from "her sincere soldier friend" is, we believe, rather startled by his singular preference in reading and his reference to "all parcels" ao if he expected them to arrive in con- siderable numbers. But we would not be surprised if some parcels actually do result from his letter, New Units Offered. Recruiting is niosi satisfactory all over the DOIllini0a and offers of more troops are coming into the Minister of Militia. Regina has offered to raise 2,500 more, Swift Current has offered a battalion, and from away up Peace River Crossing comes an offer for a unit. Thirty-five students .of the University of Toronto have enlisted with the Forty-third Battery, which is mobilized. at Guelph. It has been brought to the notice of those who interest themselves in the men at the prison farm that a large num- ber of the inmates there would en- list for overseas service at once were they given an opportunity to do se. Many of them are keen to get a chance to serve the colors. Several families in ,.western Ontario have two, three, and in a few cases four sons in khaki. One family ia coe has six sous serving the colors. Decline In Living Expenies. Coal and wood were slightly lower last year than tn 1914 ancl rents de- clined, especially In the west.
