    M0T73 FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
Ideals Which Consistently Lived Up
to, Cannot Fail to Make for Hap
piness in Life.
This home is dedicated to good will.
It grew out of love. The two heads
of the household were called together
by a power higher than they. To its
decree they are obedient. Every tone
of the voice, every thought of their
being, is subdued to that service.
They desire to be worthy of their
high calling, as ministers of that
grace. They know their peace will
go unbroken only for a little time.
And often they suspect that the time
will be more short even than their
anxious hope. They cannot permit so
much as one hour of that brief unity
to be touched by scorn or malice. The
world's judgments have lost their
sting inside this door. Those who
come seeking to continue the har
mony which these two have won are
ever welcome. The rich are welcome,
so they come simply. The poor are
welcome, for they have already
learned friendliness through buffeting
Youth is welcome, for it brings the
joy which these two would learn. Age
is welcome, for it will teach them
tenderness—Collier's Weekly.
CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS
632 X. 5th St., Terre Haute, Ind.—
“My little nephew, a boy of four
years, had a breaking out on his face.
It was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and w herever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his litle face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
rut some Cutlcura Ointment on them.
The next morning I made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After I had his
face washed. I put the Cuticura Oint
ment on and in a short time his little
face was all red and dry. I kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
well and it did not leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week
and a half.” (Signed) Mrs. Arthur
Haworth. Jan. 10. 1912.

■■aw LEXANDRIA, with
its cobble-stone
streets and its colonial
historical significance
and its quaintness,
has as chief attrac
tions to the sightsee
er Christ church, in
which George W'ash
i n g t o n worshiped:
Carlyle house. in
which General Hrad
dock made his head
: quarters while preparing to prosecute
tile French and Indian wars on the
I Ohio river, and the Marshall house, in
which Col. E. E. Ellsworth of the
New York Zouaves was killed May 24.
1861, for tearing down a Confederate
flag.
The town lies on the Virginia side
of the Potomac, seven miles below
Washington, and its historical associ
ations run back to colonial times and
continue down through the French and
Indian wars, the revolution, the war of
1812 and the rebellion. George Wash
ington as a surveyor helped lay out
the town, and became closely identi
fled with it. Mount Vernon being only
nine miles away. Alexandria was
Washington’s voting place and his
market town. He was a member of
its corporation council, commander of
local militia and a member of its vol
unteer fire company, while here In a
I hall that is still well preserved he at
tended the lodge of Free Masons of
; which he was a member.
For nearly £0 years the town was
1 in the District of Columbia, until in
1864 that por
tion of the orig
inal district ly
ing on the west
sile of the Po
tomac was ced
ed back to Vir

Christ church
is generally the
! first point of
i i n Le r e s t to
which the
guides conduct

< u ry . vv nen
Fairfax parish was created in 1763,
George Washington, then thirty-three
jears of age, was one of its first ves
j trymen. The church was finished in
1773. and at the dedication Colonel
Washington subscribed £36 10s for a
pew. the highest price paid. In the
vestry room the sexton displays the
record of the purchase of the pew.
The Washington pew, a roomy, com
fortable pew of the square type, with
seats running around three of its sides
and a little wooden gate inclosing the
occupants, is preserved just as it
looked when it was occupied by the
Washington family. On the rail is a
silver plate inscribed with a facsimile
of Washington's autograph. The seat
is now reserved for strangers. Nearly
every visitor to the church sits in the
pew for brief meditation while the
caretaker points out features of the
interior. On the other side of the
aisle, half way down the church, is
the pew that was occupied by the I.ee
family, marked with a silver plate
bearing a facsimile of the signature
cf Robert Edward Lee, commander-in
chief of the Confederate army. In
front of the church are two mural tab
1 lets containing the apostles' creed and
the Lord’s prayer. They have re
mained unchanged from the early days
of the church and are in old fashioned
English lettering with "f "s instead
of '‘s”s. The communion table, the
chancel rail, the reading desk and
chairs were all here in the days cf
Washington, and so was the chandelier
with its 12 candlesticks. At the en
trance to the church is a tablet
enumerating the six colonels who
; served as honorary pallbearers and
the lieutenants who were active pall
bearers at the funeral of Washington.
At Fairfax and Cameron streets is
the most impressive relic in the town
—the Carlyle house, it was built in
1743 by John Carlyle, who married
Sarah Fairfax, daughter of Lord Fair
fax. and served at rcaior and commis
sary under General Itraddock in the
French and Indian wars.
The old hotel is now almost inclosed
by other buildings. When built its
eastern side was on the water's edge,
while its west portico looked out upon
Alexandria, then a great British me
tropolis for the colonies, with a com
merce extending to the West Indies,
South America and Europe. The river
is now some distance away, while the
front of the old house is b'dden from
the street by another hotel built

vided, however, to furnish a pood view
of the old portico and the front side
of the historic Carlyle house.
A walk down a cobwebby passage or
two brings one to the old hotel. The
guide points out the room in which
(leorge Washington was offered a com
mission in the British army by Gen
eral Braddock. The chamber occu
pied by Rraddook is exhibited, in the
center of it a camp bed used by the
British general during the French and
Indian wars. Th°n there is the "blue
room," mildewed and stained now, in
which General Braddock held his con
ferences with the governors of six of
the colonies. This council between
the governors and the British com
manders. General Braddock and Com
modore Keppel. led to resolutions re
citing that, as the governors found It
impossible to raise in their respective
colonies the revenue assessed by King
George, his majesties ministers should
be asked to find out some method of
compelling the raising of the revenue.
The congress of Alexandria contribut
ed largely to the discontent that led
to the revolution. As soon as the
residents of the town heard of the
action of the council they met in the
courthouse and passed a resolution
Groses' w&sjEz&ertzrr
That taxation and representation ere
in their nature inseparable.'' George*
Washington presided at the meeting.
In the cellar of the old hotel are
the dungeons in which captive Indians
were imprisoned and hanged and the
cellar room in which Carlyle lived for
many months as a precaution against
Indian attack. The building is of mas
sive stone, which was brought over
from England as ballast in ships, and
it is in good preservation, although its
interior is delightfully dilapidated
from the point of view cf the anti
quarian. i'ntil recently several pieces
of the original furniture were in the
rooms, but they have been purchased
for a stage setting for a colonial
drama. A fine mahogany staircase in
the main hall is a delightful feature of
this colonial relic.
' On this here stairway,” recites the
young woman who acts as guide,
“George Washington met his first de
feat. He was coming down these here
stairs when the big door there opened
and in Walked Miss Sally Fairfax on
her way to lead the minuet. George
Washington was only nineteen years
old at the time, but he fell desperately
in love and askpd Miss Fairfax to mar
ry him. She rejected him. This was
the first and only defeat of the great
general.4'
A flight of dark stone stairs leads
to the basement rooms, one of which,
Carlyle's room, is said by the guide
to have been connected with the river
bank by an underground passage
Nothing remains of this subterranean

AH Met Death Within Year
Suprrstition of Thirteen at Table,
Tt.ough Not Absolutely Correct,
Seemed to Be Verified.
"The most interesting ease of thir
teen at table occurs in the biography
of Sir John Everett Millais, who one
day unexpectedly found himself with
twelve guests at his table, one of
them being Matthew Arnold. A lady,
discovering the fact, declared that
she dared not remain after her pain
fill experience on a former occasion
when thirteen were present. To ap
pease her the artist persuaded one of
his sons to take his meal in another
room. That sou returned to the room
at the close of dinner to hear Arnold
say: 'The idea is that whoever leaves
the table first will die within a year:
so. with the permission of the ladies,
we will cheat the fates for once. I
and these fine strong lads (pointim:
to two of his fellow. guestsl will all
rise together, and I think our united
constitutions will be able to with
stand the assault of the reaper.’ Six
months later Matthew Arnold, in the
prime of life and apparently in the J
hest of health, died suddenly of heart
disease. Shortly afterward the sec
ond of the three who had risen simul
taneously front table came to a mys
terious end in Xew York, whither he
had gone after a grievous disappoint
ment over a play which he had writ
ten. How he met hi3 death will prob
ably never be known. He was found
shot through the head, whether by
his own hftnd or that of another, none
was able to say. though murder was
suspected. The third of the threr
made a voyage, for his health's sake,
to Australia, and his friends thought
that he at least would survive the
fatal period. Rut he set out on the
return journev on the Quetta, which
foundered within the year, with all
on board, on one of the Xew Guinea
reefs. Such is the story’, but. be it
noted, there were not thirteen at din
ner. and the three who rose left a
table at which only twelve had
dined."

Hired Crowd of Admirers.
Among George Grossmith's reminis
cences concerning the late Sir Henry
Irving appears this one: Orossniith
was at one time stopping at the same
hotel that sheltrred Irving in Man
chester, England. His carriage was
waiting for him. and. as the hall
porter opened the door. Grossmith
noticed an enormous crowd outside.
"Are these people waiting to see me
leave the hotel?’ he asked.
"No, sir: they are waiting to see
Sir Enry Hirving."
Hut doesn't Sir Henry find this a
bit of a nuisance?"
The porter replied: ‘‘It does worry
him a bit, s;r; he doesn't like it."
W ell, I 11 do him a good turn," said
Mr. Grossmith.
Pulling down the collar of his fur
lined coat, adjusting his pince-nez,
and pulling his Momburg hat over
his brow, Grossmith strutted down
the steps with Irving's gait.
The "eering was great, and some
of the people even followed the car
riage.
When Sir Henry came down a lit
tle later he found no crowd await
ing him. Subsequently he mentioned
the matter to Mr. Grossman, remark
ing with a humorous twinkle in his
eye:
"You ought not to have done that.
I pay these people to come every
night.”

TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING
THESr, AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING ERANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.
Truck gardening and poultry grow
lng are two branches of agriculture
in which the farmers near the main !
lines of the three transcontinentalS
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance of
sunshine during the long days from
May to September, and adequate mois
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of a v ide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva
tion has resulted in record yields of
all sorts of vegetable and Email fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construc
tion camps.
Mr. Harris Oium. an Alberta farmer
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 160
acres in his township in 1002. which
was divided between grain and pas
ture. He earned sufficient money to
buy a quarter section of railway land
at fit an acre. The half section netted
proportionate profits and he gradually
increased Lis holdings to 1.920 acres
which was devoted to mixed farming
last year. He values his land at foO
an acre.
Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 12ii
hogs and a similar number of beef

Willie Discovered a New Garre.
They had lived in a flat all of Wil

knowledge of fauna and flora was
limited to canary birds and flower
boxes: and when they went to board
in the suburb where there was a large
yard. Willie, very enthusiastically
started to pursue a chicken, armed
with a stick and other missiles.
When the hostess protested to his
mother, she turned from the window
and said, indulgently:
"You have to forgive dear Willie
—he doesn't know that's a chicken.

Unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.
A curious old law, which dates from
1779, has been used to sentence the
owner of a vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers. France, to a fine aud
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes w hich had been
left on the vines in the vineyard after
the fall gathering, w hen the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law, as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
man's opinion, and the woman was
convicted.
