ADA, Red Rose Tea costs no more - than other teas VE1 PONE agrees that the best in anything is always the most economical even if it costs more, But when you can get the best in tea at the same price you pay for inferior teas, —when you can get that "rich fruity flavor" of Red Rose Tea, —when you can get all the good qualities of both Indian and Ceylon teas with none of their weaknesses, —when, in short, you can get Red Rose Tea at the same price as other teas ; why not have it ? Ro Located at Last A geed many farmers in the county of Huron, and in this particular locality, lave reason to remember J. J. Daley, of Guelph, who bled them for various amounts. He was publisher of The Can- adian Farm Advertiser, and bad agents all over Canada securing contracts from Sarin owners, ho agreed to pay him commissions for sales and so much at the end of three years, even if the sale -was not made. These agreements be- came records, and he made money so fast that be has gone crazy over it. One year he made $200,000. He disappeared six years ago, since which time all trace of him was lost until he was diseovered at Greenwich, Connecticut, on Monday, of last week. Daly was arrested in Green- wich, while trying to work a get -rich - quick scheme on James Carmichael, a carpenter, who had agreed with Officer Talbot to be a victim for the purpose of finding out what Daly was doing there. Hie wife has been on the lookout for him ever since his disappearance, and she went to Greenwich on Monday, and identified him. She will try to •have Daly released on a plea of insanity and take him back to Toronto, In order to get purchasers for the farms, Daly went abroad and spent a fortune trying to in- duce emigrants to go to Canada instead of South Africa. He once said that he had enough business on his shoulders to make a thousand men insane. Daly dis- appeared seven years ago and returned to Guelph nine months later dressed in rags. When he finally left home five years ago Mrs. Daly supported herself and their son by teaching music and spent much time hunting for her hus- band, finally believing him dead. His business in Guelph is still unsettled be cause of inability to get his signature. is good Tea T. H.

St. Joseph, a Town "Promoted" by.a Remarkable French-Canadian, is the Wonder 0 Huron County and of all Who Visit That Section of Ontario. (Toronto Saturday �lisht.l On the bare clay bluff overlooking Lake Huron, about twenty miles below Gederieh, stands a strange place which has caused the good people of Huron county more bewilderment and speoule- tion than anything else in that part of the county. It is the "city" of St, Joseph. Greece and, Italy furnish us with 'lead cities in abundance. St. Joseph is a "city" which bas never lived; it is stillborn. Its raison d'etre is unknown to the public; it lies buried in the busy brain of one man, the pro - motor who conceived it, and by nntir. ing effort he has carried it through so far as it has gone. About ten years ago a rumor arose that valuable deposits of aluminum - bearing clay had been discovered there, close to the bank of the lake and on the h l f h' h h t eels so t is rumor came anon er t o a company had been formed to build a "city" there and develop the manufac- ture of this aluminum. But the al- uminum scheme died an early death. They say down there that the alumin- ie still there; certainly it must be if it ever was there—none of it ever came out, The erection of a "elty" was blithely begun, money came from some- where, the erection of the big hotel commenced. Brink -clay there is in in abundance, and of the very finest quality, and a brink -yard furnished cheap material. p• three-storey factory _Public Works sanctioned the Govern - sprang up for the manufacture of Heaven merit grant after a personal inspection only knows what.

Grocers who want to please their patrons always have Mooney's Per- fection Cream Sodas. in their hygienic packages—airtight and moisture -proof. hotel guests about the country has very little to do andhas gone back to Toronto again. What is the promoter? Is he a dreamer, a rascal, or a man of greater insight and brains than his fellow men? That is another question that people ask each other. That he is a man of in- domitable energy and personal magne- tism the existence of St. Joseph is suf- ficient proof, A Canadian Minister of But the crowning glory of the most remarkable of "cities" is the hotel, which, though incomplete, is said to have cost over $60,000. Its frontage must be close on two hundred feet, its depth over a hundred. It took a long time to complete; it stood roofless for at least one year. Now the roof is on and one or two rooms completed, but appar- ently it has been abandoned; a gaping hole in the rear wall where the founda- tion has given way adds its note of desolation to the scene. Some years ago a small frame building did duty as a hotel, "till the new one should be opened." Into it was hustled a stook of liquors which, good authority says, could not be duplicated went of Toronto. Champagne, cognacs, liqueurs of the highest quality and price stood behind its dingy little bar awaiting the day when the great brick structure should be ready for the throngs of guests which should pour in upon it. When is that day to oorne? Down at St. Joseph's they tell yon confidently "next Decem- ber." The barroom alone is completed and it is safe to say that no hotel in Ontario west of Toronto can compare with it. Great plate glass mirrors rise to the ceiling all down one wall; the other wall bas been decorated by an Ottawa artist. The bar itself is mahogany - topped, brass -railed, complete right down to the bottle racks and coolers. Great marble slabs stand waiting their Ioad of inviting drink. Every foot of the bar ceiling is wired for electric light; the whole hotel is piped for hot and cold water. But outside the barroom door desolation reigns; the two top storeys are only a confusing jumble of lathed corridors and rooms. A great electrical* ly illuminated sign on the roof aunoune- es to the world in general that the name of this great hostelry is the "Balmoral." To give an accurate list of the indus- tries a hich have been "just going to start" in St. Joseph's would be impos- sible. A. branch of a well-known bicycle firm was "just about to commence," then a hammer foundry, then great sacks of raisins and currants filled the factory floors. But the buyers managed to dis- pose of their stock of dried fruits at a good profit and away went the whole budding industry. To -day a pitiful little wine plant is the only living indus- try in St. Joseph, the only tangible thing in the place, and five hundred gallons of poor wine will make nobody's fortune. The brick yards are deserted, grass grown and decaying, If any place ever bore the look of a typical wild cat scheme it is this "phantom city." The question that people asked when St. Joseph first arose, and the question that they are asked . to -day is "Why?" What on earth is to "make" St. Joseph? it is about six miles from the nearest railway --the London and Wingham branch of the G.T.R.--it bas no natural harbor, it has absolutely no natural beauty of tree or river. It sits there year after year basking in the summer sun, lifeless, deserted, save for a few French-Canadian farmer's or an Mice - Ronal curious visitor, A Government grant of $5,000 for a harbour bee been spent on a break -water, half of 'whioh floated away. Every year St. Joseph has been "just going" to be connected with the outside world by a branch of the G.T.R. Lately there have been r amore of a mythical trolley line, bet at present the big automobile Which was brought irp ftom Toronto to convey the it all? Why have apparently conserve tive, sensible business men given their capital to build up this 'city of a dream.' "Ounms." THAT'S THE SPOT_ Right in the small of the back.

HIS LITTLE BiT OF MAGIC. bbe Iteyiutrkde. }iew •–c Mlfetfse wail Delivered tb 61001, Mrs. Wobbles was Iretting. "It's almost 8 o'olot'c now," she said. "I don't suppose tiny ono will drop in to see us this evening" "Oh, be easy:" \r#Heoided Wobbles. "Want do you want 'of any one?" "I don't kitow, " ids wife answered vaguely. "I just feel as if I'd like to see some one. It's 8 now, and I'm sure no one will come to ace us." So Wobbles was informed when it was ten minutes past 8 and again when it was fifteen minutes past 8, and so on until he became more and more irritated. "Yes," he cried, "I beard the clock and know that it is now half past 8 without your telling me! I know that no one has come! I can see that for myself, can't I? But, leok here! Do. you want callers so very badly this. evening?" "Why, yes, I do," his wife answered. "I don't know just what the feeling is, but 1 sort of long for sozue one to drop in for a little white. Wily do you ask? You speak as if you could do something about it "I can!" declared Wobbles. "I'm a sure enough magician! In five minutes by a very simple act of magic I can bring the I3rowns, the Dorkius and the Christophers all in a bunch at our door." "You can?" said incredulous Mrs. Wobbles. "I'd like to see you do it" "Anal Have at them!" said Wob- bles. "Stop!" she cried. "Why, wbat are you doing?" For Wobbles had torn the lambre- quin from the mantelpiece. In the middle of the room Ile made a pile of chairs and sofa pillows. He knocked over a table. He tore up newspapers and scattered pieces over the floor. "Presto!" said Wobbles. Some one knocked on the door. There were the Christophers. He pulled out some bureau drawers, and the Browns were heard in the hall below. The Dorkins were still absent, but to bring them all that was necessary was to upset the coal scuttle. "I never knew it to fall," said Wob- bles.

' il"rish servants, with all their faults, have many virtues, and the Trish cup of tea is not a bad exponent of the national character as we see it dis- played in our kitchen—generous to lavishness, careless to slopiness, and quick-tempered as warm-hearted. A .writer in Harper's Bazar says: Coming in tired from a long walk, T went to my room to lie down, and on nay way left a message for Mary: "Tell Mary to make me a cup of tea, strong, and bring it up -stairs. In the course of time there appear- ed at my door Mary's round, smiling face. "It's an Trish cup of tea I'm bring- ing you, ma'am," she said. "It's a cup flowin' into the saucer, ma'am.'. "I laughed as I took the "Irish cup of tea," and Mary stood beside me, smiling while I drank it. So that's the kind of cup of tea you get at home, Mary, is it—the tea running into the saucer?" "Oh, yes, ma'am," she said. "When ye give a cup of tea to a friend, ye're not givin' plenty unless it's fiowin' into the saucer. We'd not be insultin' a friend wid a cup that wasn't full. At house it's inane ye are if ye don't 1111 the cup runnin' over." There is a pretty bit of Irish poetry in this. "A flowin' cup over for a friend." A Notable Annual Musical Event. "Because of its surroundings, and uplifting by its earnest methods and. teaching, the Easter performance of "The Messiah' by the Swedish colony at T.indsborg, in Central Kansas, :s enelt spring one of the interesting events of the _Vest," writes Charles M. }larger of "Singing 'The Messiah' on the Plains," in The Ladies' Home Journal. "A musical festival that, out on the comparatively sparsely settled prairies, can bring together ten thousand people during Holy Week, many of them coating two hundre.l miles, must be excellent indeed. The growth of the audiences in this in- stance, year after year, indicates a thorough appreciation of a worthy rendering of Handers great oratorio. "The Swedes are a singing people, and the religious sentiment is strong in their hearts. The one cherished day for this colony of perhaps three thousand families is Easter, and the chief glory thereof is 'The Messiah." Poiir hundred men and maidens par- ticipate in these renditions. The or- chestra numbers fifty pieces and is supplemented by a three -manual pipe organ. The leaders, directors and soloists are all members of the Linds- bots community, and teachers in the eollege there. A Good Reason. An old lady, who is very much of a bore, paid a -visit to a family of tier acquaintance.
