THE FREE KINDERGARTEN
The Thanksgiving Dinner Served by the
Ladies of the Press.

On Thursday at noon the little lads
and lassies of the free kindergarten
were served with a fine Thanksgiving
dinner in their school room on Ottawa
St, and 1t Is safe TO say thatI 1t was more
thoroughly enjoyed than any Thanks
giving dinner served IN the city.
IL was pretty SIGHT, and one that
started the tears as well, to see the little
tots, twenty-nIne IN number, sitting IN
their little chairs patiently waiting Tor
the dinner which was a little late owing
to some delay in the arrival of the
supplies.
When, however, the auspicious
moment arrived, ,thechildren, proceeded
by the matrOn, Mrs. Williams, arose
and marched IN line, each one carry
ing little chair and singing a Kinder
garten professional. They seated them
selves at the tables and with clssped
hands and uphfted eyes repeated a
prayer IN unison for the good things
set before them. II was an impressive
sight. Little children ranging ia aga
from three 70 seven years, hungry
and poorly clad, murmurng than Is for
blessings received. Then the feast be-
gan. Oysters were ser ed first, and
some ate heartily with seeming eni0v-
ment, while others, never having
tasted them before, were afraid 10 be-
gin. One little lad, evidently ID his

GETTING LoNEsoME.

Canada is evidently getting dissatis-
fed with her nondescript condition
among American nations. She seems
to be neither flesh, fish nor fowl" She
IS too independent to be a colony, and
not quite Independent enough to be
Republic. Among the nations her flag
counts nothing. fact which has sud
denly dawned upon the mind of the
Eastra Chronicle, published in Nova
Scotia. In answer to the proposal to
hoist the Canadian flag on all public
buildings in the Dominion, that journal
says:
What good Is a Canadian fag2 II IS not
recognized By any nation on earth. II has no
place among the Tags Of the nations Of the
world. and would BE- no more protection to
man than one OF printed co tton. Why. then.

ton when they leave their homes IfCanada

Russian crops, according 10 prelim-

its own from now on.

brands sell well and keep up good de-

firmly supported by the general trade.

THE WOOL GROWERS ADDRESS

The Ohio Wool Growers Association
at its recent meeting issued an address,
calling upon the Republican party for
a fulfiIment of their party pledges.
The essential features of the address
are as follows:
In view OF the imminent danger which
threatens all the industries of our Nation, and
especially the production and manufacture of
wool. the wool growers Of Ohio urge the nee IS
sity OfUnity and activity In order 10 avert the
peril Of free trade or free wool with which
they are now menaced. The wool growers of
Ohio advocate protective system. A tariff
for revenue Will not secure protection. The
result OF the last Presidential election was an
emphatic expression by large majority of the
people in favor OF a comprehensive system en-
bracing al our Industries. including the pro-
tectOn Of wool By name. IL the Republican
party. in its legislative or administrative de-
partments fails 60 comply with the expression,
1t viii secure the repreach of insincerity or OF
inability % perform It's duty.
As wool growers we ask for such legislation
and such administration OF existing laws as
are required by the deliberate promises made
By the Republican party prior to the last
Presidential election. We denounce the in
justice of allo wing the carpet industry TO
damage the wool industry By importing cloth
iDg wool under the false name Of carpet wool.
The wool growers Of the United States are
called upon 70 be fully represented in the
National Convention OF Wool Growers to as
semble in Washington. December 3. 1889.
They are urged % ask that Congress shall give
the wool and mutton industry protection OF
the full extent OF the most favored of the
manufacturing industries

Character Building.

There are many boys so full of
life, ambition and fun that it needs a
very wise head and warm heart to keep
them happily employed, and to feel
sure that they will grow up to be good,
true and useful men. What is true
concerning boys is equally true concern
ing girls. We like to see the quick,
firm, manly step and frank face and
pleasing voice.
How shall we train him or her TO be
useful? How shall we keep them with
us? These and other questions come
up again and again. Let us keep them
busy at something. Encourage them to
grow more useful each day and year.
Let us give them TO understand that
there is always wide field of service
for all such boys and girls over whom
many grow utterly discouraged.
Wnen a youth becomes a saver by
habit the moral virtues are brought
into active cultivation through self
denial and abstinence. This is charac-
ter building. Wherefore, look to the
habits of your growing youth, for
"habit becomes nature" which rules a
mans life either tor good or for evil.

THE SLAVE TRAFFIC.
British Traders Still Dealing i'm HUI
man ChattelS.

A Zanzibar dispatch says: II has been
discovered that an agreement in relation 10
slave dealing exists between the English
East Africa company and the Sultan OF
Zanzibar and the Arab slave dealers of
Manbaza The Arabs are authorized to
carry on trade in slaves and to fog or
otherwise punish them. The wages of the
slaves must be paid To the owners. Eng
lish mission stations are obliged, under the
agreement, to return runaway slaves TO
their owners.
Recently the agents of the company, Mr.
Mackenzie and Gen. Matthews, accompa-
MED by number of Manbaza Arabs, went
TO the Rabai church mission station and de-
manded the surrender OF certain runaways
who had taken refuge at the station. The
missionaries refused TO give them up. The
company's agents, therefore, TO avoid a
collision, paid S26 for each slave they were
unable TO return to the owners. The Eng
lish consul has issued a proclamation
warning all British subjects in Zanzibar
that they will be liable TO seven years
Imprisonment if they enter into contracts
for slave labor. The British traders say
that slave labor is the only kind of labor
obtainable in Zanzibar, and that If this is
cut oil all work must be stopped. In view
OF this protest the consul will suspend the
enforcement Of the proclamation pending
instructions from Lord Salisbury.
The secretary Of the English East Africa
company denies the story. He says that
the only action of Agent Mackenzie in re
gard TO slaves has been to pay for tie lib
Grafton of 900 slaves
