NOT MORE-NOT LESS.

Calm was the night in that still autumn
weather.
And calmer still and cooler were the twain
Who, parting then, might yet have kept to-
gether,
Had pride not stronger been than even pain
There were no bitter tears, no signs of sorrow,
No sad reproaches utter'd at the end
And, should they meet-years hence-or on the
morrow
Twill be with courteous ease as friend meets
friend
Oh mocking words for those who once loved
madly,
HencefOrth to be mere triends-not leSS-nOt
more
Deep i'll each heart death knell sounded sadly,
For love, deemed deathless, in glad days of
yore.
Not more than friends-the voices must not
falter
Lest broken tones betray a vain regret:
And on the lips the forced smile must not alter
To show how, Meath that mask, grisf's lines
are set.
Let them take heed, lest any word be spoken
To rouse some ghost from out the buried past;
Though the dear ties that bound them once, are
broken,
y strange spell fingers yet, and holds them
fast
Not less than friends-but. ah the friendship
offered
Seems of such little worth now love is done;
It's hard to take the hand thus coldly proiiered,
And feel the tender thrilling touch has gone.
Gone with the day, when just one word was
needed
Those heavy clouds of pride and doubt to lift,
But all III vain, loves dying voice had pleaded;
Now far apart each lonely life must drift.
And she will never know, at their next meeting,
How hard he fought an outward calm TO gain;
Nor will he see, beneath the friendly greeting,
How her true heart still yearns to him through
pain -TBpprayia

This is one of the most centrally located
markets in the city, and is also one of the
neatest Messrs. Ross IL Ankcncr keep
only the choicest meats, finest cuts, and bid
for the very best trade of the city. Their
market is near the principal business street
and center of business. They make it Il
special task to select their meats, not trust
ing altogether TO the slaughtcrers. Starting
out with the intention of doing tirst-clasS
trade in the city, they succeeded to the full
extent of their expectations. There is no
line sof meats called for by the trade
which they do not keep in constant sup
ply. This applies not only to fresh meats,
but fine cuttings of cured meats also.
1t is a well-kuown fact that fully

men are employed in the establishment
but the most skilled in the cutters art.
and to which Mr. Ankener gives his per

one of the most skilled of landlords. Mr..
Land is man who himself fully appre-
ciating the charm of home surroundings,
has succeeded in giving to the Western
Hotel home characteristic. There are

to embarrass the guest, but, on the
contrary, the effort is successfully made,
and vet appears effortless, so complete is
its triumph, to make each guest feel that
he is one of u we'll ordered home house
hold-not guest in the character OF that
formal personality, but welcome friend,
who finds the house as free and open to
him as if it were his own property, and
where his bill is but a contribution to the
current expenses. There is in this an art,
one born with the true landlord, and by no
a man full Of vigor, and in the prime OF
life. hale, social, cordial seems in his
realm-the Western Hotel-rather at the
head of great domestic circle than the
proprietor of a great establishment for

WHAT Is ZERO Perhaps not one in
one hundred can tell ofi-hand why a point
thirty reo degrees below the freezing point
on Fahrenheit's thermometer is called
zero. For that matter nobody knows.
The Fahrenheit scale was introduced in
1920. Like other thermometric scales it
has two fixed points, the freezing point, or
rather the melting point of ice, and the
boiling point Of water The Centigrade
and Reaumur scales call the freezing point
zero and measure therefrom in both direc-
tons. This is very natural arrangement.
Fahrenheit kept the principle on which
he graduated his thermometers secret,
and no one has discovered it. 1t is sup
posed, however, that he considered his
-thirty-two degrees below freezing
the point of absolute cold or absence of all
heat, either because, being about the
temperature of melting salt and snow. it
was the greatest degree of cold that he
could produce artiicially or because it was
the lowest natural temperature of which
he could find any record. The grounds
on which Fahrenheit put $50 degrees be
tween the freezing and boiling points are
alike unknown Statesman.

Drunkenness is the greatest evil of this
nation, and 1t takes no logical process to
prove that drunken nation cannot long
be a free nation. | call your attention to
the fact that drunkenness is not subsiding
certainly that it is not at a stand-still; but
that it is on an onward march and it is a
double-quick. There is more rum swal-
lowed in this country, and of worse kind.
than was ever swallowed since the first dis
tillery began its work of death Where
there was one drunken home there are ten
drunken homes. Where there was one
drunkard's grave there are twenty drunk
ards graves. According to United States
Government figures, in 1910 there were
23,G00,000 gallons of beer sold Last wear
there were 55l 100000 gallons. According
to the governmental figures, in the year
1910 there were 100000 gallons of wine
sold. Last year there were 25,000,000 gal
Ions of wine. 1t is on the increase. Talk
about crooked whiskv-by which men
mean the whisky that does not pay tax to
the Government. | tell you all strong
drink is crooked. Crooked otard, crooked
cognac, crooked schnapps, crooked beer,
crooked wine, crooked whisky, because it
makes a mans path crooked, and his life
crooked, and his death crooked and his
eternity crooked. If | could gather all
the armies of dead drrmkards, and have
them come to resurrection, and then add
to that host all the armies Of living drunk
ards, five or ten abreast, and then if
could have you mount horse and ride along
that line for review you would ride that
horse until he dropped from exhaustion,
and you would mount another horse and
ride until he fell from exhaustion, and you
would take another and another and you
would ride along hour after hour and day
after day. Great host, in regiments, in
brigades; great armies of them; and then
if you had voice enough stentorian to make
them all hear, and you could give the COM
mand d" Forward, march !" their first tramp
would make the earth tremble. | do not
care which way you look in the community
to-day, the evil is increasing. | call your
attention to the fact that there are thou
sands of people born with a thirst for
strong drink-a fact too often ignored
Along some ancestral lines there runs the
river of temptation. There are children
whose swaddling-clothes are torn off the
shroud Of death. Many father has made
will of this sort In the name of God

read and that has not been proved in the
Courts. That will, put in writing, would

projected terminal points are Winnipeg,
Port Arthur, Montreal, Halifax and New
