AN IMPROVEMENT O,
It is satisfactory to know that
there were 1,609 fewer families` in
relief in Winnipeg on November 10
than at the same time last year . ,
The number of families on relief has
declined continuously since last win-
ter until the present time. On June

relief; on September 1 there were
6,996, and on November 10 there were

From The News -Record, Dee. 26th,
1909:
Mr. Wlalter Holmes, Toronto, was
in town Tuesday and IVednesday at-
tending the annual shoot of the Gun
Club, at which he won a goodly share
of the prize 'money.
Mrs. Geo. Henderson, the Misses.

ses Neil of Stratford were guests of

Mr. Lal. Paisley returned Monday
night after an absence in the west of
several months. He looks as if the
country agreed with him.
Mr. C. J. Wallis returned last week
from another business trip to the
west. He got back in time to help
fill the Christmas stockings.
Miss Jean McTaggart intends giv-
ing a dance ' for a number of her
young friends on New Y'ear's night..
and Mr. J. E. Hovey are unopposed.
On Tuesday of last week Willis
Manse was the scene or a wedding
when Dev. Dr. Stewart pronounced
the words which made Minnie Louise,
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry W .Watts, the bride of Mr.
Alex. F. Cudmore. The attendants
were Miss Mary E. Watts, sister of
the bride, and Mr. Ernest Lawson.
The bride wore a very handsome blue
suit, and blouse of cream net. The
happy couple, who are deservedly
popular, will start housekeeping in
the groom's cottage on James street.

Discussion as to the original 'word-

comparisons directs attention to the
frequency with which the epigram-
matic expressions of authors are mis-
quoted in everyday talk and writing.
Advocates of absolute correctness
shudder at the liberties taken with
original texts. Take for example
Butler's famous lines—
'Se that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still,"
Which is thus interpreted: "Convince
a man against his will," eta, which
the same opinion still," or "persuade
a man against his will,"' etc., which
is not quite so meaningless, Inc al-
though a man may he persuaded a-
gainst his will, he cannot be con-
vinced.
That quotations from the Bible
should be mauled is surprising, but
it is true. Here are a few.
Correct—OIt is not good that man
should be alone"; incorrect—"It is
not good that a man should live a-
lone."
Correct "Behold, there. ariseth a
little cloud out of the sea like a man's
hand,'"; incorrect—"A cloud no big-
ger than a man's hand."
Correct—"In the multitude of coun-
selors there is safety"; incorrect --
"In the multitude of eounselers there

conductor's request that she go inside
she turned a deaf ear. When the
conductor asked for her ticket, she
gave him a vindicative Nook, asserted
that she had been robbed of 6100 and.
gave every evidence of believing that
he, and no other, was the culprit. No
amount of persuasion could get her in-
side the car. Neither did she appear
disposed to surrender her ticket.
So the conductor went about his
business, worked the rest of the train
and returned for another session with

ONTARIO NEEDS BRITISH TRA-
DITION THAT LAWS ARE TO
BE OBSERVED
In conversation the other day with
a Canadian who knows and has lived
in England he- said: "What Canada
needs is proper law enforcement." By
way of amplification he said that in
England the law is strictly and im-
partially enforced, whether against
peer or pauper. "To get a license to
sell liquor in the old country," he
said, "a men must have a cleaner re-
cord than a parson. If he has been
convicted for riding a bicycle too
that few passengers know about. But
this did not deter a rugged individual
who had insisted upon getting aboard
to see Ms girl friend off. By the time
he had figured out these devices the
train was far beyond the station plat-
form. The young man, however, had
no fear, and he leaped into space.
When they picked him up his only
injury, fortunately, was a broken leg.
Yet all these people appear mortal-
ly offended when they are mildly re-
primanded by railroad employeesfor
remaining on a'train and even. forc-
ing the: employees to make a special
stop to set them, off. It is the rl-
road"s fault, not theirs, seemingly,
that they are still aboard when the
train starts.

Stepping to the icy side of the

down a twenty -foot embankment.
Shortly, the engineer whistled five
blasts, calling the flagman in. But
the "fill" was high and slippery.
Again and again the calling -in sig-
nal sounded,but no flagman came in.
Finally the trainconductor raced
back with fire in his eye. A report
would be demanded for this delay. As
the conductor ran, he, heard a call
far below him and: there saw- his

ment, his flags' and 'black box under

could, the conductor pulled his man

ENLARGEMENTS AS GIFTS
Enlargements make just about perfect gifts for any occasion. Here are
two different enlargements from the same snapshot negative; one for
Dad's desk at the office and the other
for the living room out at
Grandma's.
EVERYTHING considered, snap -
shooters are a lucky lot. As we
have seen, they have the edge on
ordinary mortals in the matter of
really personal, meaningful Christ-
mas cards. And snapshooters are
lucky in that they have the means
of creating gifts of exceptional
charm and value for any occasion.
These particular "means" are the
snapshot negatives from which
beautiful enlargements can be made.
If you haven't yet experintentedwith
enlargements, now's the time. If you
have a darkroom of your own, where
you develop and print your own pic-
tures, one of the simple modern en-
largers will make it a vastly more
fascinating place. But you get prac-
tically,the same pleasure—and uni-
formly excellent work—out of en-
largements made from your films by
any regular photo finisher.
like a "magic lantern" or stereopti-
con. The only difference is that you
use a negative film instead of a lan-
tern slide and project the image on
light-sensitive paper instead of a
silver screen. By masking out the
undesired parts of the negative you
keep them from reaching the paper.
Any photo shop will explain this and
other details more fully for you.
In enlarging a picture you get not
only a bigger, more realistic image
but the opportunity to select the
best part of any negative for magni-
fication. Suppose you have a good
negative of the youngsters at play in
the sandbox—a picture which their
grandparents would be delighted to
have, enlarged, as a gift. But sup-
pose there's something incongruous
-.a wash on the line, a lawn mower
or anything else that doesn't add a
thing to the charm of the view—to
the right or left of the children.
With an enlargement, that distract-
ing, unnecessary feature Can be com-
pletely eliminated.
There's nothing complicated or
difficult about enlarging. It's exactly
Enlargements may be of almost
any size. Any good negative, no -nat-
ter how small, may be "blown up" to
make a picture five or six times the
size of the original. A sharp 2b1 x
Ski inch fila will easily give you a
sparkling 8 x 10 inch enlargement.
But that is by no means the limit.
Enlargements have been made to
cover an entire wall of a room. But.
such jobs are not recommended for
folks such as ourselves. (Not unless
you're wealthy.)
Aword about subjects for enlarge-
ments—particularly if they're to be
used as gifts. Choose pictures that.
will mean something to the recipi-
ents. A shot of Fido trying to climb
a tree after Cleo, the cat, will be •
vastly appreciated by big brother or
sister away at college, but it won't
mean very much to Aunt Cynthia
Who doesn't care for either dogs or -
cats.
Some of the best enlargements:
we've seen have been landscapes
or seascapes. Mountains usually
make good pictures. But if they're
to be given as remembrances, choose
landscapes familiar to those who
will get the pictures.
