FOR YOUR FALL HUNT Hundreds -of sportsmen in Canada take their vacation in the hunting season. They are now getting their equipment ready for the chase. The question, "Where to go" is the all absorbing one. A region easily ac- cessible that'insures real sport and game in plenty is the objective. Let the Canadian National Railways in- troduce to you the "New North", that vast area in Northern Ontario and Quebec traversed by the Transcon tinental Line between Winnipeg and Quebec City. It is virgin country for the hunter, and Moose particular- ly are plentiful. Apply to any agent of the Canadian National -Grand Trunk Railways, or write C. K.

THE `GRAUN' LANGIDGE FOR DAEIN' BUSINESS IS THE GUID AULD SCOTCH In January 1880, three up -stand - leg, wild -looking men strode into my land office in Winnipeg in Indian file. their ap- pearance. 'Brothers, evidently,from P pearance. Their long horse -tail hair straggled on their shoulders from under shaggy fur caps. Their bulg- ing, weather-beaten blue blanket over- coats were bound tightly at•the waist by faded -red woollen sashes. Thick c buckskin moccasins covered their feet and strips o'f the same skin bound their trousers below their knees. The incongruity of their faces dis- turbed turbed me! Their small glittering eyes flashed under brushy black brows. Their cheeks were high, broad, deeply scored and ruddy; and under their long arched noses, their faces were completely hidden behind thick, frowzy, brick' -red beards. They moved softly in their moc- casins in lone& strides towards my desk; and stood a moment looking at me with a stolid gaze. Then the old- est of the three thundered at me in full, round English: "Are you J. B. Perry?" ?" "Yes, sir. What can I do for you?" "Are ye buyin' fairms?" "What?" I said in amazement.

And, neo," he said, throwing back his frowzy head, "we are what we are! And we're no ashamed o't! What aboot the fairm?" he fired at me, with the suddenness of a shot out of a gun. After due deliberation, satisfactory terms were arranged; my interesting customers well satisfied with the "business" for the transaction of which they "aye thocht the Scottish tongue the hese"' made their way •out to the street and hack to their ancestral homes. After over forty years by -gone, I would now gladly give a good-sized farm for a painting by Paul' Cane or Forster of the three "haulf-breeds" who called at my office in Winnipeg that cold, frosty morning. What a pity it is that, with the passing of time, the fine, old, heart - some doric of sturdy Scotland should be lading away. Would that some organization were established to per- petuate the sweet mother torigue! A MOTHER'S DUTY TO HER DA UGHTER Health Must Be Guarded As She Conies to Womanhood. Every mother who calls to mind her own girlhood knows how urgently her daughter is likely to need health and strength during the years be- tween early school days and woman- hood. It is then that growing girls droop and become bloodless and nerv- ous. Nature is calling for more nour- ishtnent than the blood can supply, and signs of distress are plainly evi- dent in dull eyes, pallid cheeks, weak and aching backs and a dislike for proper food. These signs mean that the blood is weak and watery. The watchful mother takes prompt steps to give her girl the new, rich blood her system calls for by giving her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other medi- cine has ever succeeded like them and thousands of mothers have proved their worth. Mrs. W. H. McIntyre, Gananoque, Ont., tells what these pills have done for both herself and her She says:—"I daughter. ys:—"I have used g Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for many years, especially in times of weakness and general debility, and have found them a most satisfactory medicine. After a severe attack of influenza I found myselfnervous condition in aer and resorted to my old tonic Pink Pills—and they did not fail me. I also gave them to my eldest daughter, who on due to ail- ments condit't was in a serious ments of girls of her age. She com- plained of headaches and backaches, and would often grow hysterical. She began taking the Pills and was soon on the road to health again. She nev- er complains now of headaches or backaches, and I give the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When ever I see any of my children ailing or in need of a blood tonic, I give them these pills and always with the best results." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 150 cents a box, , orsix boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. upon. He agreed with Haig. He al- so said that the weather was a fac- tor. They might expect at that time, early in November•, that the rains would set in as they had done in the four preceding years, which would make movement difficult, if not impossible. If the great -assaults were launched, which were planned, it might be that before the objectives could be reached the rains would fall and -halt the' armies in their tracks. In that case their preliminary losses would have achieved nothing, Foch said he was impressed by the argument of Castlenau, though, of course, as Irwin says, he may have entered the council chamber with his mind made up or made up for him by the French Government. He ex- pressed belief that by granting the armistice the lives of perhaps 60,000 Allied soldiers would be saved, which otherwise would have to he sacri- ficed if the offensives. then about to begin, were carried through. So he decided that the armistice should be granted. At the time the armies of the Allies were about ready for the final stroke, which would have completed what the British and French• in Flanders, and the French and Americans in the Argonne had so auspiciously begun. Two more great thrusts, had they been successful, would have cut the Germanarmy in three, and would have forced a retreat to the Rhine on the part of the armies or army that succeeded in escaping capture or extermination. Taking in- to consideration the state of the Ger- man morale, there is little doubt that the last great offensive would have succeeded. The best proof of this lies in the fact that the Germans were ready to surrender. But a toll of 60,000 dead and 200,000 Wounded, would have been the price paid. The whole world was sick of the war. The morale of the Allies was sufficient to hang on to the end, but was it sufficient to hang on in order that military reputations should be built up and the Allied generals and victorious troops have the glory of marching into Berlin? There seemed to be no doubt in any quarter that had the armistice been refused, the German nation would have plucked up the spirit that makes a cornered rat fight so des- perately, and though the end might n bted a feafulprice might notbedu g be paid for final victory. Mr. Irwin believes that if the war had lasted a year or true longer, the American arrmy would have been greater num- erically, than the armies of the other Wilson mi that case ht W g Allies. In have been the man to dictate the final terms of peace, and he thinks that the British and French leaders did not Wilson to be placed like WII want a.mnn in this position. In any event the military leaders of the Allies drew up the terms of the armistice without any German co-operation. They ask- ed whatever they wanted, and Ger• many refused in no instance to com- ply. What then was to have been gained by carrying on the war. WHY THE ALLIES ENDED THE WAR Kipling's repudiated interview with Clare Sheridan has led to a renewal what induced .s'nd of the discussion as to the Allies to ' •a give Germany a V the arm- istice she asked for, and whether the military chiefs were overruled by the white -livered politicians. The quea- •tions are important, but there ought to he no difficulty in arriving at an answer unless w,' are to assume that Lloyd George and ttlemenceau are what Ring Lardner would call liars. They have said that the final de- cision rested with Marshal Foch, that if he had' refused the armistice they would have supported him in a de- termination to march upon Berlin. But those who believe that the calamities that have assailed the world since the end of the war are due to the fact that Germany was not invaded and the peace terms dictated, at Berlin instead of in Paris have chosen to represent the political heads of the Allies as med- dling civilians who snatched. a com- plete military victory from Foch and. the Allied armies.

Another musical artist in a different sphere is Irving Berlin, who has received a quarter of a million dollars a year more than once. He is said to have sold two words to the United States for $50,000 apiece, the words being Hooray, Hooray," which supplied the well known punch to his song; "My Wife's Gone to the Country." Bud Fisher, the cartoonist, is an- other quarter -o f -a -million -dollar -a - year man, and since Bud has gone into the horse 'racing business, he probably finds it little enough. A New York surgeon, who special- izes in head operations, has, accord- ing to the New York Times, received more than $300,000 in a year. Arthur Brisbane, chief editorial writer for the Hearst papers, has long been the most highly -paid working journalist in the world. Ten or fifteen years ago he was sup- posed to receive $50,000 a year, and later on popular rumor raised him to $100,000. Undoubtedly he makes as much more from papers of which he is the owner, and from another chain of them which he manages on a profit-sharing basis. Billy Sunday is supposed to earn $200,- 000 a year, but the, evangelist says that he gives away most of what he receives. Harold Bell Wright makes more than $100,000 a year, and up to date the fruits eve his pen have amounted' to nearly: 42,000,000. Robt. Chambers, Gene Stratton Porter and Booth Tarkington are reputed to have annual incomes of' $100000. Babe Ruth receives about $80,000 a year, which is $20,000 less than Childc Hassam made from the sales of his pictures the year before last— his best year. Will Rogers, Irvin Cobb and Ring Lerner are reported to earn $75,000 a year, the same as Joseph P. Day, an auctioneer, and Ivy Lee, a publicity' man. No actor or actress outside of the films can earn as much as $100,000 a year, the nearest' approach -to it being Ethel Barrymore, who spent a season in vauderville and received $2,500 a week. The most highly paid poet in the world is not Rudyard Kipling, but Walt Mason, who is supposed to make about $50,000. The best year Capablanca, the chess cham- pion, ever had netted him about $10,000, but Beimonte, the Spanish matador, is said to have cleared $500,000 a year when at the zenith of his fame. He received $28,000 for one day's bull fighting in Peru, and $100,000 for ten successive Sun- day exhibitions in Mexico City.
