GET THE IIA13IT OF READING
GOOD BOOKS
Even when we reckon up all the
evil that they may have done, it Is
still true that in the struggle of the
human race up toward Vetter things,
books have played an impdrtant part,
When men first learned to put their
thoughts down in permanent form for
other men to read and ponder over, a
great step forward in human history
was taken.- How vast the sum of that
great record of men's thoughts, and
imaginings, and convictions has
grown to be in our day! How splen-
did in number and quality are - the
great books of our time! But books
are for reading and study, and not
merely to be put upon shelves. How
great would be our neglect and folly
if we were to let them lie there and
miss the help and uplift and direction
that they might bring to us. To ge:
the habit of reading goods books is
indeed to walk along a way of life
that has rest, and refreshment, and
inspiration for the soul. To neglect
good books is to refuse to enter into
a most splendid human heritage.

A TON OF ADVERTISING
The catalogues of one of the large
nail order department stores arrived
at the local post office recently for
distribution in this locality. Judg-
ing by the number of sacks we would
estimate that there were about a
thousand of them, the weight of which
would be almost a ton. The profits
of these mail order concerns must bo
enormous to warrant an expenditure
for this distniet that for catalogues a-
lone would likely run around 41,000
'to which would have to be added the
cost of wrapping, postage and other
expenses. In The Post the merchants
of this locality have a splendid med-
iuin to advertise their merchandise
and keep the money at home which
might otherwise be sent to the larger
eentres: Brus'se1S Post.

STRANGE FISH IDENTIFIED
A 'strange fish, unrecognized by
commercial fishermen who knew all
the species commonly found in the
Great Lakes, was diseoVered recently
in Lake Huron, near Grand Bend. It
was forwarded to the 'University of
Western Ontario, where it has been
identified as an American' smelt, a
fish rarely found in Lake Huron, al-
though it is widely distributed In
American lakes and the Atlantic
Ocean. On two other occasions odd
fish have been sent to the University
from Grand Bend. One was a '"saw
Belly;" which is normally a native of
the Mississippi River and may have
reached Lake Huron through Chicago
canal. The ether was an 'bale -wife,"
a species of fish which lives in the
Atlantic Ocean and is rarely found a-
bove Lake Ontario. 'This case -was
especially mysterious as it is not
known .how the fish managed to get
above Niagara Falls.-Zprich Herald,

A'NOTHe R VERSION
The Cardston News comes forward
With local' evidence as to the Circum-
stances
ircumstances under which. Rt. Hon. R B.
Bennett became attached to the nick-
name of "Bonfire."
The' Jews puts forward the facts ae
related by Harry Phipps, an oldtimer
of the Cardston district, who says he
remembers clearly, the incident.
It seems' that it happened some 35
years ago when the Boer War was in
progress, according to Mr. Phipps.
The Mormon influx into southern Al-
berta was then at its' height. Mr.
Sennett was rather suspicious of the.
newcomers and instructed scrutineers
to challenge every Mormon vote. '
The result' was, this informant says,
that the Mormons took a dislike to
IVfr. Bennett and burned an effigy of
him in the town square.
The 'Cardston News apparently
thinks that, even at this late date,
Mr. Bennett deserved the burning in
effigy. • The fact that the editor is at
present a Liberal candidate may have
something to do with this attitude.

GATHERING TOO MUCH MANNA
Since Townsend published his plan
to give every man above sixty years
of age two ' hundred dollars' per
month for the rest of his life of
course many unemployed men are dis-
satisfied with the measure of relief
which they get. It all reminds us of
the history of the • Manchus of China.
Many hundreds of. years ago a very
warlike race invaded the llfanchu
country and were restrained from
laying the country entirely waste by
an offer from the natives to give a
tax to every Manchu for so long as
he lived. This privilege, of living in
well fed idleness was bequeathed to
their descendants so that finally In-
stead of the stalwart warriors.
Manchuria was soon .supporting a
horde of dapper, dainty little men;
who dressbd meticulously in the
height of fashion, and spent their
time in idle folly. One might see a
dapper little dude, . with a flea or a
cricket in a cage of gold, suspended
from a gold bracelet, and the wearer
would spend hours in childish prattle
as he•talked to his tiny and not un
derstandable prisoner pet: On the

whole, we think some manlier policy
might lie suggested than : that of
Townsend, whieli was far from. orig-
inal with him, and had such a degen.
erative effect upon the Manchus. Like
the manna of the Israelites enough is
just enough and a little bit too much

PITY MR. PORRITT
By A. M. Burrage
At half -past ten a fair summer
inorning Sergeant Spraggett and P.
C. Burns, both of the local police,
entered the shop of Mr. Albert Por-
ritt and asked to see -Desmond Hugh
Turbot.
Desmond' Hugh Turbot was Mr. Por-)
rlitt's assistant, and by the laws
which ought to—and do not—govern
nomenclature he should have been
connected with fish rather than with
meat. '
"What's the matter?" •Mr. Porritt
inquired.
Afraid we've .got to take him away
Sorry for the inconvenience."
"What's he been doing?"
"Never you mind." '
"All right. I'll go and fetch him"
"No! We'll go through."
They went through. Mr. Porritt lis-
tened with all his ears. All he heard
was: "Desmond Hugh 'Turbot—war-
rant for your arrest—teharge • .of—"
and the snap of handcuffs. Then they
passed through the :shop. Desmond
Hugh Talbot was looking as pale as
his deep-sea namesake.
"I',m sorry about this, Des." said
Mr. Porritt.
They passed out of the shop. Por-
ritt called for his wife to look after
the counter and went on making the
sausages.
Two hours passed, and the Serg-
eant was back, accompanied by the
local inspector.
"'Morning," said the inspeetor.
"Want.a word from you. About that
young man of yours. Know anything
about him?"
"Nothing much. Took him on a ref-
erence from a butcher in N'ewbury."
"Forged! Never been in Newbury
in his life unless it was to pick 'poo- I
kets at the races. He's been in before.
Same charge. Housebreaking and bur-
glary. Careless with his finggr-
prints." '
"Good heavens, I'd never have
thought--"
"Course you woudn't."
"D'you mean he pinched that big
ruby at Crimpton?"
"Just so. And now the question is—
what did he do with it? We've been
through him and we've searched ev-
ery inch of his bed -sitting room. No
ruby. You know there's a thousand
pounds reward"
scysyes.e,
"Well, you bear that in mind."
A thousand poundsl A. thousand
poundsl If he could only lay hands
on that big ruby! And, second to the
police, he had. a'good start of most :oi
the rest of the world.
The morning wore on. •Customers
came and went. Errand boys strolled
to the doer and then ran in'; 'filled
their baskets and ran out; and once
out of sight strolled away in leisur-
ed ease.
Where—oh, where—was that darn-
ed ruby—and the t'hausanf pounds?
Porritt had heard, and believed,
that when one 'had to face a problem
of that kind the thing to do was to
put oneself in the other fellow's
low's
place. Suppose he had stolen that
ruby and been suddenly surprised by
the police, what would he have d -one!
In the other fell'ow's place his own
hearing would have given him' half a
minute's warning,
'Then light dawned en him abeau-
tiful romantic light. What an inspir-
ation! Why, of.course, the sausage
'machine?
The teeth were old and the springs
weak. Customers had complained
before of huge lumps of gristle. Yes,
almost anything could be forced thru
that sausage machine. That, obvious-
ly, was where the ruby had gone.
And some lucky mean, woman or child
would suddenly bite an a thousand
pounds.
Not if he could help it. He was a
swift thinker. He knew nearly all
his regular mustomers -- apart from
those who ran (bills --by sight and.
name. Only one stranger had been in
that morning and left with sausages.
He remembered her for two reasons
—first because she was a stranger,
and in the second place becauseshe
had^ asked so many questions` about;
the sausages.
Were • the sausages fresh? well, of
course they were! As if he would ad-
mit it if they weren't!Was pork
really in season or was it doubtful?
And so forth. `Viell, then l:. will try
a pound." And she uttered the verb
as if she wore wig and ermine` and
was prepared to weigh both sausages
and evidence and sum up dead a-
gainst the sausages.
Hastily telling his wife to mind the
shop, Mr. Porritt set forth on a
round of visits, following in the foot-
steps of his own errand boy. In his
pocket. were (hooks showing him
where the sausages had gone -all ex-
cept that one threatening pound.
Mr. Porritt took with _ him a, large
basket, and prepared speeches as he
crossed his own threshold. Within a
few yards he made the first of his
many calls. Here the household -as
in eases :,was servantless.
"Very sorry, madam. Would' you
mind letting me have back the saus-
ages I sent you this morning? I find:
the pork isn't very good: ' 'Not My
•
fault. Didn't find it out until I'd
made most of the sausages. Pork's
funny stuff at this time of the year."
The woman duly returned the sous,
ages and thanked him for his honesty.
The butcher preened himself, smiled,
and uttered •panting apologies.
But all the customers were not like
the first. Three families had already
eaten the •sausages long before the
normal time for the mid-day meal and.
all were suffering ill effects. Women
who had never in their lives spoken
to a lawyer talked volubly about
"their solicitors."
' filled with
the basket slowly fi d wi h
raw sausages and grew heavy upon
the man's arm, and at last he found
that: he had visited every house save
that of the woman who was a strang-
er to .him. -
Re had done much harm to his rep-
utation as a butcher, but that was the
stake he had laid upon the table in
his gamble with Fate.
On another table—a plain deal one
—he laid the piles of sausages. :'A
careless writer of metaphors would
say that he went through,. them with
a tooth -comp. .Actually he went thru
them with a table fork, mashing and
squeezing. Finally he name to the
last pound and hope only began to
wane as his fork began to mash the
last sausage.'
Under his hand it became pulp and
at last with a 'groan • he buried'his
fork in the mottled mountain et
sausage -meat before•him.
Presently he began to knead it with
his hands, his heart fluttering with
hope at the touch of each lump of
gristle. But no! That strange, un-
pleasant woman had the ruby.
Despair is a fine tonic to the imag-
ination. Hitherto, the imaginative side
of his :nature had lacked the stimu-
lant to rouse it from its torpor,. The
sausage, once that pet and now the
discarded mistress of red -nosed come-
dians, would come back to its own on
the variety stage. He could see the
heavy type on newspaper headings:
STOLEN RUHY IN SAUSAGE.
BUT TIIJdR AND AiSS1STA:NT ARE
CHARGED.
The . day dragged wearily on. A
noisy public clock had just chimed
half -past four. The worried man
had just snatched .the slow passing
of a policeman. The officer had
glanced with interest at the shop-
as indeed the circumstances war-
ranted. 'But the little butcher saw
in that glance a baleful and suspic-
ious stare,
And then in that calm which on
the stage is always the silent herald
of drama or tragedy the little stran-
ger bounced into the shop.
One glance was sufficient to show
that he was a man with a grievance
Also, it took no effort of imagination
to deduce that it was a just griev-
ance. Small and bullied men love
nothing better than a just grievance.
It supplies a long -felt want. It gives
them chance t bullyinsteadof, e-
ob
a
ing bullied, to hit without risk of re-
ceiving a blow in return.
"Look here!" he began. "I want a
word with you. My wife bought a
pound of sausages to -day."
The little •butcher nearly fainted
with joy. The little eolour which had
remained in his face suddenly left it,
but•now there was new light in his
eyes.
"Yes?" he heard himself say.
"It's nothing for you to grin a-
bout."
-
bout"
The stranger 'became inarticulate
for the moment because he was in the
act of opening his mouth to its fullest
extent. It was a surprisingly cap-
acious mouth to beleng.to so small
a man. Inside it were cromlechs' ,of
ruins, the sight of which would have
wrung a groan from any dentist who
really loved and respected his work.
Then he removed his finger and got
his mouth into a conversational
shape.
"Did you see that tooth?" he de -
mended.
"Which ane?" -
"The broken, one, of course."
"But they're all—"
"I don't want none of your cheek.
I'll show you again. That one! . Did
you see it that time? Third from the
end. No, second now, because I've had
the wisdom tooth ont. Well, whether
you saw it or not it's there. At least,
part of ' it is. And when we buy
sausages we buy sausages—not glass
marbles." '
"You mean to Say--,'
"Yes. I do mean to say. There was
a great glass marble in one of the
sausages my wife bought •-off of you
today. A great big red ,glassmar-
ble."
"Have,you—er—got it with you?"
"No, I' haven't got it with me. But
my wife's seen it, and the children
have seen it, and any dentist Would
tell you that tooth's just been broken.,
No need to take my word for it. So
you'll find out if I have to go to law
with you—and a fat lot of good it
will do your business!"

Your flowers • may wither
and die but a picture of
them will live forever.
IT WOULD be quite unusual to find
A a mother, wife or home -maker
who hasn't a potted plant, vase of
artificial flowers or an object of art
in the house that for one reason or
another has become the "favorite."
Flowers are much like friends.
You no doubt like and respect all of
the friends you associate with so-
cially or you wouldn't seek their
companionship nor accept their hos-
pitality. There Is invariably, how-
ever, one or two you -like particu-
larly well. There is something about
them that appeals to you. Their very
presence cheers you. It may be their
personality, their manner of speech,
their consideration of others, even
their idiosyncrasies or many other
things referred to and classified un-
der the small but greatly publicized
word -"It"
We can't say, that flowers have
"It" That's stretching things a lit-
tle too far; but they do have a way
of becoming a bright spot in our
lives.
Why not keep a record of their
growth and beauty with snapshots?
You can take good pictures of flow-
ers with any camera in the house or
outdoors but today let's discuss plc -
tures of flowers in the house.
Proper lighting is the foundation
for good flower photography. It
should be remembered that shadows
are necessary to properly reproduce
form in any graphic illustration. In
outdoor photography natural light-
ing
ighting is depended upon so it is neces-
sary to wait until the sunlight comes
from the right direction to get the
proper lighting for your subject. In
this respect indoor picture taking
has its advantages. You make and
place your own lighting.
As a general rule, bright direct
overhead light is not desirable so
the best results are obtained when
lighting comes more from the sides
so as to cast interesting, artistic
shadows.
Successful Sower photography has
been made quite easy with the in-
troduction
ntroduction of super sensitive pan-
chromatic film. This film provides
users of roll -film cameras with the
advantages of extreme speed under
artificial light and complete color
sensitivity heretofore available only
In cut film and plates. This film, sen-
sitive to all colors, records the va-
rious color tones more in the varia-
tion of brightness as seen by the
eye.
The diagram above shows how
the picture to the right was taken.
It is best not to place lights directly
in front of the subject for in doing
so you will generally fail to get
depth in the picture. You will notice
that the tray, used effectively as a
background, is tilted against the
wall and not flat against it. By tilt-
ing the tray the shadow to the right
is made possible and adds greatly
to the depth and attractiveness of
the picture.
As shown in the diagram, you will
need two photoflood lamps placed in
an ordinary floor lamp with the
shade tilted slightly upward. If you •
cannot tilt the shade remove it en-
tirely and hold a white cardboard,
sheet or even a bright dishpan be -
bind the lamps to serve as a reflec-
tor. You may want to do your own
experimenting in the placing of the
photoflood lamps to get shadows
that please you most.
After locating thesubject in the
finder set the diaphragm at e0.3 and
the shutter speed at 1/25 of a second
and take your picture. ,
Your flowers niay wither and die
but the picture will live forever.

The butcher's face worked. One
of his hands, groping for support,
plunged into a basin of half cold
dripping. The dripping splashed
round and soiled his cuff, but he
felt nothing. Leaning thus he sighed
heavily and fainted,
The other waited with an air of
grim satisfaction until the eyelids
fluttered. Then he turned, threw one
glance of scorn at the wretched
tradesman, and strode out of the
shop.
