It does not seem like home to us, There is an empty chair, -• And it seems so very lonely now For Mother is not there. We did not dream that Death BO soon Would bear thee from our side, It took from us a loving friend, A true and faithful guide. But oh ! how sad and lonely now, We miss thy counsel dear Ob ! there was none more dear to us Than Mother was when here. Our hearts are sad and sore with pain, We often sit and weep, O ! could we press butonemore kiss Upon thy loving cheek. We children and friends are sad ; Our hearts with grief are riven, But Oh ! we think it's wrong to weep When thou art safe in Heaven.

Adtnis- sion 10 cents, 5000 Facts About Canada: The public will welcome the 1913 Edition of "5000 FACTS ABOUT CAN- ADA," compiled by Frank Yeigh, the acknowledged authority on things Canadian and the author of "Through the Heart of Canada." Ten thousand are now sold annually, which find their way all over Canada and the Empire, indeed the world. "The Facts booklet is stuffed as full of information as a sausage is of meat," is the happy and true way an English Journal puts it, and the new issue, which includes many new fea- tures and improvements, such as a colored map of the Dominion, presents a striking story of the wonderful ad- vance of Canada in a single year. We now talk in billions. The booklet is issued at 25 cents a copy, by the Canadian Facts Pub. Co,, 588 Huron Street, Toronto, and is sold by all the leading newsdealers, Progress In Prison Reform. Hon'. W. J. Hanna is doing good work for Ontario along Prison re- form lines. The Courier in referring to this work, has the following :- Hon. W. J. Hanna, provincial secre- tary for Ontario, is more concerned with practical reforms than with idle vaporings on party questions. He makes few party speeches, but pro- ceeds steadily, with his social reforms. He is changing the term "central pri- s.an" to "reformatory," as he has already changed the substance by putting the psisonere on an un -walled farm instead of keeping them in a walled and barred brick-and-inotar structure. He is also changing the law so that "asylums" become "hos- pitals for the insane." The man with a broken leg goes to hospital, and so does •the man whose mental machin- ery has been broken temporarily or permanently. Perhaps the greatest of his reforms, the result of years of experiment and study, will be the indeterminate sen- tence for all men and women sent to institutions under the control of the Provincial Government. Whether the individual is to be confined for a ciente, for immoral conduct or for any other offence against society, no man or woman is to be without dpportuni- ty to get out of the hospital, reform- atory or other disciplinary institution, as soon as there acre evidences of im- provement. This is a rational and humane policy which, while not wholly original, refi ,'cts great Credit on the hamanity 'and sagacity of Hon. Mr, Hanna, -There is a redeeming feature about having one big worry ; you don't have time to bother with a lot of little worries. O'W'NERS WANTED FOR STOLEN WATCHES.
