The following verses were compos- ed by the energetic local President of the W. C. T. U. Mrs. Moore, and are printed by request this week, a large number of friends of the organization wishing to secure them. Who claims that the work of our 'White Robbon Host is a thing of the past -a spent force? A possible need of a former regime, But a need which has 'finished its course'. Do the deeds of the Crusader --noble and true— Count for naught? Does their mem- ory fade? Are their prayers, faith and tears but a dream? Can it be 'Twas a valueless thing which they paid? Can you say that the long line of God- fearing souls Who have marched where the van- guard has led Have foltered, have weakened, sur- rendered their- arms? • Have retreated in panic and fled? Nay, Nay and should we who are hon- ored to bear The standard so nobly up reared Prod e recreant, wavering, less loyal than they? o the cause they so loved and rev- ered? Nay! Nay! while the Drink -Foe with merciless mein Overshadows and curses his prey, 01.- though shackled - insidious, wary and hold As a thief in wait by- the way.. While the black -visaged monster of 'Vice stalks our land In his pitiless arrogant might, Or, stealthily, craftily lureth his pr'y, In the arb of an angel of light. While the serpent Iniquity rears its foul head, And its curse trails from border to coast; While a wrong my bo righted—a soul may be saved, There's a place for. the White Rib- bon Host. I While a sorrowing mother—heart piteously bows O'er the victini of waywardly pride; 1 While a child may be led by sweet counsel to walk In the steps of the Heavenly Guide; While o'er our loved nation grim War's shadows fall, And the breeze bears a fell tyrants boast; While a heart -Indy be comforted — wounds be assuaged, There's a work for the White Rib- bon Host. With a zeal born -of sacrifice, hope born of faith, And. a love born of Heaven alone, May the White Ribbon Inst tread its mission of cheer, In the spirit the Master shall own. Yea,. the years speak the message in clarion -tones: For the sake of the toilers agone, For the sake of humanity's need of the hour: Carry on! Carry on! Carry on! And, while for our Empire* we fer- vently pray, We plead for the land we love most Goa bless dear old Canada!, God bless her sons! And God prosper the 'White Rib- bon Host!

Besides owning a farm of eearly 20n acres, atinated about half a mile toas low the widow Jenkins', Squire [HtVls the proprietor of the only wind- mill for ten miles around and the fa- ther of a. son twenty-two years old named Harry. The windmill was a good thing in its way, but it will be blown out of this story at once and make no- reappearance.The squire wus a mmma, aggressive sort of a man who wanted to do all the bossing and have other people do all the mind - lug, AN: 11 lie the W WOW was a woman with a mind ef her own and didn't propose to be walked on by anybody. It thus came about that soon after she was left a widow she and the squire_ clashed. No lawsilit followed, but it was tt bad thing for the cattle and pigs that strayed over •the boundary linos, and there \YRS always something doing to furnish the neighbors with talk. The relations between the squire and the widow had been strained for three or four years when two new charac- ters value into the east. A. smart, good. looking girl mooed Betty Lee came to live with the widow, an& she hadn't been there two weeks when Harry Da- vis saw and fell in love with .her, The son had tried to stand neutral in the quarrel, though naturally leaning to- warg his father's filthi. Perhaps one reason why he couldn't be brought to think altogether 111 of the widow was on account of her hear. Site had bought the animal of a stroller who had been taken sick and shipped to a dis- tant town. It was a big black bear, full of tricks and gond nature, and it had taken a great diking to Harry. When the quarrel reached a certain stage of bitterness he bad to part with the bear as well as the widow. The separation had lasted two years or .more when Betty Lee arrived. A month later the young man was visit- ing the widow, the girl and the bear and enjoying each and e"'ry occasion. These visits were unknown to the father, of course, and lie did not dis- • TrOir SQUIBB TURNED PALE altri.srroon. 121 2118 CHAIR. cover them until rumor said that his sou was going to marry Betty and that the widow Jenkins had brought things about to spite him. "Young man, is it so er is it not?" he demanded of Harry after inviting him out to the barn for a talk. "I love Iletty and am going to marry her," was the reply. "You'll never do it with my consent." "But I am Of age, father," "Then I'll cast you off.' If you marry that girl you cease to be n son of mine and shall never get a cent,of this prop- erty." Harry didn't indulge In any heroics. On the contrary, he took the matter so quietly that his father elm:Idea to himself and believed that he hall gained avictory in the first roand. To let it be known' that he expected Har- ry to cease his visits to the farmhouse, but at the same time be was prepared to close his eyes for a thne and give the boy a chance to retire with dignity. Things went on for three months with- out anything further being said -that is, while it was said on all shies that llnrry and Betty would be married on Thanks:riving day the talk did not reaeh the squire's ears until one even- ing in Oetober. He was a man who aeted on impulse. He determined to go straight over to' the widow's and settle things his way within- fifteen minutes of arriving. The widow's bear had no particular grudge, against the squire, but 110 was a watolalog as well 131311 bear, He had been turned ont that evening to roam around and See that all was well, and when he suddenly discovered Squire Mavis :reining cross lots through the barnyard it was only natural Mit he Mandel fasten his teeth in the faruor's rrensers leg and milliner him to the door of the house.

"Now, then, Miss Lee comes of a nice family and is worth $8,000, and she and Harry are to be married Thanksgiving day -that is, they were to be, but 1 have comlialed to have the ceremony performed this evening. Squire Davis, you are a jus- tice of the peace." -"What! Ate marry 'em!" he shoutel. But the bear started in to lubor hint, and he almost fainted away in bis terror. "Yes, you will marry them," quietly replied the widow after a bit. "It will be a neat, nice thing to do. and It W be a good joke on the la-ople who .4.- pect you to make a fool of pain:- :f.

Then the bride was kirtad, the bear chained up, and as the squire alb - bled his donglinut and sipped his glass of cider he was wan enough to admit that he guessed it was all for the best-- "ga.ul durn that bear!"

The surface brightness of wails or ceilings lighted by daylight or arti- ficial light is now determined direct- ly by an apparatus for measuring illumination, known as the "holo- phane lumeter." Tests of various wail papers in rooms lit by tungsten lamps showed that a surface brightness of 0.3 foot-canaales is usually neces- sary to give the room a cheerful ap- pearance, Light blue, dark red, deep green, and very deep blue wall- papers showed surface brightness varying from 0.3 foot-candles for the first mentioned to 0.05 foot-candles for the last mentioned, with corre- sponding reflecting powers varying from 40 per cent. to 4..5 per cent.
