NOBODY SEEMS TICKLED
We have had a few Federal Cabinets
in this country since Confedation, but
the present one will unquestionably
march through time as having received
the record number of hard knocks. If
the personnel of the present body is
satisfactory to anyone, he has not been
heard from; and to do the Hon. Mr,
Borden justice, doubts very ranch if ho
ishimself altogether tickled over
the result.
To the English -Canadian, and to many
French-Canadians, the most discourag-
ing feature is the thought that the
Premier deems it necessary to cater to
the Nationalist element of the Province
of Quebec. Here we have Monk.
Nantes and Pelletier; and Monk with
the most important portfolio, aside
from that of Finance, safely tucked
away in his coat tail pocket. One
might have passed without serious
criticism, but there is too much for
even the most ardent Tory that ever
east a vote. If catering to these men
and their up -side -down notions of re-
tarding the growth of the country be-
cause the French-Canadian can't and
won't keep pace with his English-
speaking neighbor, had been a political
necessity, the Hon. Mr. Borden might
have possessed something in the way
of an excuse, but with the Conserva-
tive majority back of him, such as the
new Premier has -without taking Que-
bec into account at all -he has not a
political leg to stand upon.
Under no account am I to be under
stood as wishing, or even insinuating, a
desire to deprive the French-Canadians
of the Province of Quebec of proper
Cabinet representation. That is their
right, though the giving of at least one
portfolio to a representative of the Eng-
lish race in Quebec would have been no
Mss than what is due, considering the
importance of the English-speaking in-
terests within the confines of that pro-
vince. Of course, it is 'quite possible
that the Premier figures Mr. Monk as

EXPORT OF MANUFACTURES.
Perhaps nothing in the record of
Canadian foreign trede presents more
striking evidence of growth and pro-
gress than our experts of Canadian
manufactures. It speaks eloquently,
of the vast progress made in recent
years. Perhaps few people aro aware
that of the total of $274,316,558 worth
of Canadian produce exported in the
last fiscal year, $35,283,118 worth con-
sisted
of Canadian manufactures,
In the year 1880 our export of Cana -1
dian manufactures was only $3,242,617,
and in 1896 it had reached -only $9,5220,.
014. But the growing time had begun.
In the next ten years it increased to
$24,561,112. And nearly $10,000,000
was added in the next Ave years.
Not only has the export of Canadian
manufactures increased since 1896 from
$9,000,000 to $35,000,000, but we have
supplied an enormous and constantly
increasing home demand, not thought
of fifteen years ago. Canadian manu-
facturing is well established. The home
demand is growing annually at an enor-
mous rate, and our products are com-
peting in the world's markets, Anoth-
er ten years should make Canada a
competitor to be reckoned with.
From the Inside,
(Stratford Beacon.)
At the Brampton Tory nomination
convention on Saturday, Hon. I. B.
Lucas indulged in a little talk about
the coming provincial election. Said
he: "Some people say we are going to
annihilate the Liberal party in this
province. Well, I don't think so. What
I say is, don't be over -confident." Mr.
Lucas will not be surprised to see a
stronger Opposition returned, He
thinks that there will be sympathy
with the weaker party; but it is quite
evident that Mr. Lucas has been read-
ing the signs and studying the short-
comings of the Whitney Government.
He went to some trouble to explain the
tyrannical methods by which Sir James
rules the Legislature and manages it
like a machine. "You know Sir James
has a will of his own," was the euph-
emism which he used to explain the
Premier's dictatorship, Mr. Lucas did
not use the work "dictatorship," but
he made clear enough his meaning.
Probably he had in view Sir James'
treatment of the question of tax re-
form, the discussion of which was so
furiously suppressed by the Premier.
It is not astonishing, remarks the. Ham-
ilton Times, what a great many people
knew before, to learn from the remarks
of Mr. Lucas and other Conservatives
who have had the courage to talk, that
dissatisfaction is rife in the party with
Whitney's bulldozing methods. Hon.
Mr. Lucas' expectation of a stronger
Opposition may be realized.
WHAT IS YOUR FAMILY WORTH?
If your family is worth the best you
can afford in house and food and cloth-
es, is it not worth the best reading as
well? And the best reading -best for
boys and girls, best for men and women
-is to be found in The Youth's Com-
panion.

print nearly 300 in 1912. With all the
rest of the paper thrown in, and count-
ing the glorious long serial stories, they

fore you will find stories so varied and

ketches.

"Oh, yes. I understand what you -John D. Wells,

optimist. Yes, sir, from the word
I was driving along a road in one of
the back townships of Ontario last
week. A middle aged farmer, with his
blushing young daughter, was driving
towards me in a rickety old democrat
stacked high with groceries and supplies
from town. As we met I pulled up my
horse, which as farmers know, is the
signal for the other rig to do likewise,
and fixed my -gaze upon the couple.
"Pardon me sir," I said, "but are
you a farmer?"
The look of astonishment that came
over that sun and wind beaten face
almost unnerved me. The girl began
to grin.
"I really did not need to ask you, as
I can see that you are a farmer," I
went on, maintaining a serious mien,
"but what I'd like to know is if you
•go' ".
' You are not discouraged with the
way things are going and can really see
a bright future for yourself and the
other fellows who are in it."
I pulled out my notebook and pencil.
"No, to what you said first, and yes
to the other," he replied,
"How were your crops this year?"
"Well, they were none too good.
The truth is that the dry spell reduced
what I'll get to about half. It's been
a been a bad year all around here."
"But your roots and potatoes and the
fruit, how have they made out? And
your stock, is it in good shape?"
"My roots aren't half a crop this year
and my ;potatoes are very light. I
can't complain about the fruit, for its
fair, which is all it ever is. But my
stock show the results of the drouth
terribly. It will cost a lot to sink those
ribs in, and, to make things worse,
there is no feed on the place. It dried
right out."
I laughed at his sincerity and the girl
commenced to giggle.
"So you tell me you're an optimist
and then complain that nearly every-
thing on the farm has been a failure.
I'll have to put you down as a pessim-
ist."
"That's what it looks like, stranger,"
he concluded, "but nevertheless, Iam
one of the happiest men in Canada.
The fact that myself and family aro
living on the old place, well clothed and
fed and still goin', shows you just what
a good business farming is. We can
stand a hard year; in fact, I can see
how it does me a lot of good. If I'd
lost everything, I'd still have had the
land, and next fall I'll be better `off
than you census -takers, because you'd
be out a' job then. Good-bye, strong-
er."
The girt kept looking back at nye as
they drove on. I believe now that she
was an optimist, too.
It isn't•safe to judge the world ' by
your view of it.
Costly Elections.
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, is
said to have spent over $107,000 in se-
curing the endorsation of Wisconsin
primaries for his candidature for the
United States Senate. The Wisconsin
senator's method was simple and old-
fashioned. He instructed his political
managers that he must be elected and
that they could "draw on him" for
funds. Beyond signing checks, in some
cases for sums as high as $15,000, Mr.
Stephenson did not bother himself with
"details." If the postage for his cam- Moscow's oysters come from the

As we have but one lesion In jhl*,

book, It ie the story of God watching'
over and providentially caring for Ry
people, and, though He is pot steel,'
tloned by name, !Ie ie seen working all
through. The book ends most beaut1

riot but think of the kingdom of which.
this book is a historical and prophesied
picture, iltustrating the grace of God.'

Some one has said that it IS "' a story;
of the people of God delivered from
death by e 'mediator of the highest!
rank,, who undertakes the greatest dan
ger and le mysterintsly one of them.'
The time of tbe atorr supposed to be;
between Ez. vi as 1 711. The princi,'
nal truth seems to oe'that there Is `a
God in history working out His g(idl,,
pleasure through human lyses and or
dinary means. As one °has Said, "All
history is Ills story." (sod" and the
devil are seen to conflict from Lien. 111
to Rev. sr. here it is Haman as the
devil's nisi and Mordecai and Esther
on the Lord's side.
Thus far in the story, up to our les-
son today, we see the greatnesq of. an
earthly king and the magnificence of
his kingdom; his til treatment of a
noble woman, put awayc but remem-
bered; the chok$ of another who re-
quired nothing but what was appoint-
ed for her (i, 19; 0, 1, 15); the faithful
aid un'vavering interest of her guard-
i;tn, 3iordecaf; the omooa-
man and his plot to
prkit* alltion the;f JewRa.
This brings us to the intercession of
Esther in the lesson of today. in which
she took the place of death to save the
tires of her people (1v, 11). Our medi-
;iter actually died 111 our stead to de-
Itver us from the curse of the law (GaL
Ili, 13; Iv, 4, 5). The words in t'v, 14.
"Who knoweth whether thou art come
to the kingdom for such a time as
this2" make us think of the words of
the Lord Jesus, "For this cause came I
(into this hoar,'! "boor this Cause came
1 into 'the world" (John zit, 27; 'via,'
37). If we are redeemed by the pre-
cious blood of Christ we Miy be cer-
tain that all our life is planned for us
according to Eph.11, 10, and sollcerning
every occasion or opportunity we may
be sure that it bas been prepared for
05; that in It, by dying to self, we may,
snake manifest the life of Jesus (II
Cor, lv, 10. 11; I Sam. r, 7).
If we are unwilling He will choose
some willing vassal to accomplish bis
purpose, and the loss will be ours.
Esther sent word to Mordecai that
he and all the Jews in Shushan should
join her and her middens in a three
days' first and then;she would go into
the presence of the king on behalf of
her people, even If It should mean
death to her (iv, 15-17). On the third
day she went to the king and obtained
favor in his sight and the assurance
that he would do for her whatever she
asked,'even to the half of bis kingdom.
Our Mediator, who is now in the pres•
-
ence of Gtod for us, has. given us all
that is His and :made as joint heirs
with Himself. He takes every truly
Penitent sinner into full partnership
with fimeelf, blotting out all that was
against us and putting all His right-
eousness to our account, because Be
died for our sins and rose again the
third day. If any are perplexed by the
