Ir THERE IS SOMEBODY ELSE
One Thing the Average Man and Worn,
an Ought Always to Keep
in Mind.
One thing that the average man, and
woman, loo, ought to remember is that
there is somebody else. It is not actual
and offensive conceit, it seems to tie
sinipic self-absorption, forgetting that
there really is anybody else. We have
nothing to say against the condemna
tion of careless and reckless drivers of
automobiles. The offenders deserve it
all. But nobody knows how many
lives are spared every day by the care
ful drivers.
It is customary for foot passengers
to stup from the sidewalk to the high
way without thinking to look up and
down'the street- Sometimes they do
look one way and keep on walking into
and across tiie street with eyes pointed
steadily that way. An automobile com
ing from the other direction is of no
more interest Hum a comet said also to
X be approaching. If it were not for tbt
W obnoxious horns, there would be many
more killings than there are. Nobody
gets any credit for this. Instead, tie:
horrid horns are condemned as a nui
sance. This habit of self-abfcorptlon if
not limited to people who risk tiieir
lives in stepping Into the crowded
streets. On the regular sidewalk often
people turn sharp around without look
ing to see what or who is coming and
it is they who get uttvd at tlie- collision
they produce. When they do not turu
the.v often stop short. Bump follows
and it is the bumper who is to blame
Such is life.—Hartford Courier.

CANADA AGAIN
A PRIZE WINNER
Highest Premiums Awarded at
Many Exhibitions.
The Full fair season is past and a
retrospect of them shows that Western
Cnnadu is stronger than ever iu the
matter of exhibits, and has taken more
than her usual share of the prize
money. From Western Canada to
Texas Is a long look, from Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the
southwestern corner of Texas is sev
eral days’ journey, but the enterprising
farmers from tills new country to the
northwest were wide awake to the
possibilities that waited them at (lie
International Dry Farming Congress
held at El Paso, Texas, a few weeks
ago, to bring to the attention of those
in that fur-olf corner what the land of
Western Cnnadu eouhl do in the pro
duction of grains and roots from Its
soil. And what did these farmers do?
The first thing was to carry off the
first prize and sweepstakes for wheat.
That was a foregone conclusion, for it
has now become an established fact that
nowhere else In the world is there
grown wheat of the high character and
market Value of Western Canadian
wheat. The same may be said of oats,
of barley and of rye. But when It came
to notice that Western Cannda took
first prize for nlfnlfa, it was then thnt
more special attention was given to
tilt! products from Western Canada. It
showed thnt In thnt country there lies
the opportunity for supplementing the
wonderful native grasses. So full of nu
trition that with the tamed varieties,
among them being alfalfa, the cattle
with no other food were fattened and
fitted for tile shambles. Western Can
ada’s worth was proved as probably
the greatest mixed farming portion of
the continent. When the steers from
the Western Canadian prairies reach
the Chicago stockyards they bring
the top price and outweigh those from
other places where grass fattening Is
the process. But it was not only in
grains that Western Cannda carried
off the highest honors at the El Paso
exhibition. Potatoes, parsnips, beets,
'nrrots and rutabagas also took the
highest honors. In root production
this country is becoming favorably
known.
Tile question often arises as to mar
kets. There is always the highest
price awulting the producer, and as
soon as the Hudson Bay Railway, now
about completed, reaches the Buy,
there will lie an additional outlet for
the product of the farm. The Pacific
coast route, via the Panama canal, will
give another outlet of which full ad
vantage may be taken. With virgin land
selling at from $15 to $-0 per acre, and
Improved farms at reasonable prices
and on easy terms, there Is no better
opportunity for the man with limited
means and a desire to secure a home
at the least eost in a country where
lie can soon become wealthy, us thou
sands of others have done, than in
Western Canada. To the man with less
means and who is prepared to accept
a farm of 100 acres free, the Domin
ion Government offers him his choice
in districts that have land of the high
est type, hut at present being from ten
to twenty miles from a railway.
The Peace River Country, now being
opened for settlement and reached by
railway affords excellent opportunity
to the homesteader. To secure Infor
mation as to Western Canadian lands

WHISKERS UNDER THE BAfl
Prejudice Against Facial Adornment
Was Very Strong Some Cen
turies Ago.
Nowhere whs there more prejudic'd
against beards than at the ions of
Court centuries ago. The “Blucit
Books” of Lincoln’s Inn of the six
teenth century are full of reference!
to offenders who were “fyaed double
comens durynge such t.vme as they
slml have any berde.” This proving
Ineffective, a whole hatch of bearded
barristers was In 1554 “banysslied fror^
ye bowse," and shortly afterward a
judge's order was obtained for the com*
pulsory shaving of some of the mem
bers. The Inner temple benches were
not quite so severe, for a tine of -Os
was the sole penalty imposed In 1555
for "wenryng heardes of more than
three weekes growthe.” The war
against bearded barristers continued nt;
the Inns of Court until the seventeenth
century.
Long after this, however, the preju-^
dice against the unshaved barristers
remained. . . . Vice Chancellor Ba
con carried ids dislike so far that he
always refused to listen to bearded or
mustaehed counsel, pretending that he,
could not hear them. Even now, al
though there are plenty of bearded bar-!
rlsters and K. C.’s, few have attained
eminence. The most brilliant excep
tion was perhaps the lute Judah Philip
Benjamin, “silver-tongued Benjamin,”,
who despite his mustache and Ameri
can “goatee” earned the princely In
come of £35,000 a year.—London

(Hlj? Jfirat Christmas
St. Luke, Chapter II
ND IT CAME TO PASS, in those
days that there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed. And all went to be
taxed, every one into his own city. And
Joseph also went up from Galilee out of
the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto
the city of David which is called
Bethlehem; to be taxed with Mary.
And so it was that while they were
there the days were accomplished that
she should be delivered. And she brought forth
her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes and laid him in a manger: because there
was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shep
herds abiding in the field, keeping watch over
their flock, by pight. And lo, the angel of the
Lord came upon them; and the glory of the Lord
shown round about them and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them:
“Fear not! For behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of
David, a Saviour, which is the Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall
find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying
in a manger.”
And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising God and
saying:
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men!”

‘‘When a Feller Needs a Friend.”
From the Kansas City Star.
You fathers and mothers of boys, did
you read in the Star of what Judge Ralph
8. Latshaw said about boys who go
wrong?
"Four-flfths of the criminals are boys
who have Just passed the age of 16,” he
said. And then he told why they went
wrong.
"It is because they have not been 'prop
erly watched, because their fathers and
mothers have neglected them, and be
cause they have frequented low pool halls.
God pity the father and the mother who
do not set an upright example for the
boy Just on the threshold or manhood.
And I’ll tell you 'when a feller needs a
friend.’ He needs one every day and
every night, in the home and in his dally
life, in the school and everywhere.”
This is good, sound doctrine. Many I
a boy has gone wrong because his father
seemed to take no interest to his goings
and comings at night. He was allowed
to join the gang on the e ner and grad
ually he grew away from parental influ
ence.
Just at the critical age when a boy
is growing into manhood he is apt to be
attracted by the glamor of the reckless
tough, the fellow without reverence,
without honor, without Ideals, without
real manhood. At this time particularly
be needs wholesome companionship and
guidance. The father who makes It his
bualness to keep interested in his son's
affairs can make himself his boy's chum
and can direct his growing activities Into
good business.
A man once was jolted into recogni
tion of the fact that he knew nothing
about what his children were thinking
or doing. When he came to himself he
exclaimed: "In heaven’s name, what am
I on earth for if I can’t give an hour
a day to getting acquainted with my chil
dren?”
Christmas—A Prayer.
Be born anew, dear Lord, be born again,
bnto the hunger of the sons of men.
Whose famine Is too bitter to be fed
By any lower food than sacred bread.
We thirst for hope and , tasting, drink it
not.
We choke for joy denied a barren lot.
We starve for love and, starving, throw
the dice
That may, or may not. pay love's precious
price.
Our trembling hands, infirm, have lost the
wit
To grasp Thy holy cup. Lord, give us it.
Fill it with strength despaired of by the
weak.
Fill it with brimming rest the weary seek.
Out of the chalice let the lonely drink.
Restrain the wild soul crouching on the
brink
Of shameful purposes, that no man knows.
Watch, Thou, the desert where the des
perate goes.
Unto white hearts give purity anew;
And to the false the power to be true.
Grant to thd jnourning, all uncomforted,
The conscious comipg of their dearest
dead
Give to the friendless, .shrinking and
apart
The happy throbbing of the*1, Christmas
heart.
Ts there a flyTng thing
Fluttering, with broken wing?
Lord, show us where It hides.
Lead us where’er abides
Beneath pain’s sharpest fang,
The most forgotten pang
Within Thy world today:
For that, for that, wo pray.
For the bird shot in the bog:
For the tortured, writhing dog;
The patient, laboring beast
That gives us most for least;
For the soul within the dumb.
And for that It may become.
For the smitten by the way,
O listen, Lord, we pray.
Be born again, dear Christ! Be born again.
Unto the knowledge of the sons of men;
Be born into the gentle heart that brings
Its best, its strongest to the weakest
things.
Be born into the finest tenderness
That will not burden, where it can not
fee h^TTt??ri the dlvlnest power to feel,
That never hurts the nerve It ran not heal.
—Ellabeth Smart Phelps.
Custom That Should Bo Revived.
"Old, very old In England,” we fead
In the Woman’s Home Companion, "is
the custom of setting lighted candles
in the windows on Christmas eve to
give holiday greeting to the passerby,
but little use has been made of this
charming Idea In our country. Haiti
more, however, has had a city-wide
lighting of candles, which was so suc
cessful that it is repeated every year.
"Weeks before Christmas. when
plans were being made for the com
munity tree, it was suggested that each
household set liglUed candles in the par
lor windows to wish "Merry Christ
mas" to their fellow townspeople, not
even the most enthusiastic supporter
of the candle greeting expected to sec
half the number of windows that war*
so lighter! when Christmas eve came."
Holiday Dinners Too 3iq.
From the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.
A good many jibes are uttered about the
meals that follow a holiday feast. The
purport of them la that these later nieuia
ure composed mostly of the remains which
are served up from time to time In various
forms, less and less palatable. But the
fact is quite different—at least for some of
us. The fact is that the holiday meal
generally is too elaborate and is sur
rounded by so many anxieties on the part
of the hostess that It is not thoroughly en
joyed. There are so many dishes that, if
one eats only a little of each, he is sur
feited and leaves the table feeling more
like an inflated balloon than like a ra
tional human being. It has been a great
meal, but there is generally more left than
| has been eaten, and the waste from the
| bountifully Ailed plates and small dishes
, Is enough to feed a hungry family. Ev
erybody has made extraordinary effort—
1 the hostess to please her guests and the
result Is too often an extraordinary fall
j ure, simply because the good things were
too numerous.
! There is a picture of the first Thanks
giving eve, showing the housewife with
j a pumpkin In her hands and her husband
; returning from the hunt with a turkey.
Both are happy, and so, too, the boy and
the cat. the other figures in the picture.
But In these days, the two articles of diet ,
would be only a beginning. In the prodi
gal present, we have so much that we do t
not enjoy anything to the full. It is only ,
' on the days following a holiday, when
the dishes are fewer and we can eat
more rationally, that we find the most
pleasure in the eating.
“Christ Is Not Come."
No trumpet-blast profaned
The hour in which the Prince of Peace ,
w as born:
No bloody streamlet stained
Earth’s silver rivers on that sacred
morn;
But, o’er the peaceful plain.
The war-horse drew the peasant's loaded
wain. »
| The soldier had laid by
The sword and stripped the corselet from
his breast.
And hung his helm on high—
i The sparrow's winter home and summer
nest;
And, with the same strong hand
That flung the barbed spear, be tilled the
land.
Oh, time for which we yearn;
Oli. Sabbath of the nations long foretold!
Season of peace, return.
Like a late summer when the year
grows old,
When the sweet sunny days
Steeped mead and mountain-side In golden
haze.
