ON THE WAY

Along the track of centuries
The milestones OF the Christmas toe
arise,
And graved thereon legend sweet and
wise,
Tells Of the better way, in language
still

peace and good VIII"
And like the traveller who prays,
At wayslde shrines, and with devotion
pays
A tribute TO the symbol, and so lays
A thousand qualms of conscience all
at rest
Life's weary pilgrim, who in wisdom
stays
From hates mad quest.
And makes n penance Of his grief,
And lays aside the load of selfish strife,
And myriad Ills with which the theme
is rife,
At these white shrlnes that beckon on
the way.
Shall see a light shine brighter on his
life
From day to day.

George A. Bracket Lectures ION Pioneer
Days and Alaskan Life.

q George A. Braelett delivered lecture
on pioneer days in Minnesota and life IN
Alaska before an audience Of 300 or more
at the Y. M. C.. A: auditorium last night
His story was graphically illustrated by
numerous stereopticon views. The au-
dience was fascinated by the vivid picture
of the struggles and dangers which made
up the life Of the early settlers in Min
nesota and surprised by the wonders OF
the Alaskan country. :,.-. ~
Mr. Bracket, opened his lecture with
an account Of early days at old st. An
thony and Mankato. He showed several
pictures of the first building at the Falls
of st. Anthony, Of old Fort Smelling and
Of the Indians who were hanged at Man
kato for their; crimes in connection with
the Indian outbreak.
His Alaskan pictures were also very In
teresting. Starting with scenes in the
gold fields, he traced the whole course
Of the miners work, from the time the
big hydraulic monitors washed the rich
gravel into the f1ume to the final wash
ing out in the miners cabin. His views
included pictures Of the seal herds, the
Muir; glacier and the icebergs in Glacier
bay. The most startling pictures of the
evening were those which showed the
wonderful growth of poppies, nasturtiums
and sweet peas in Mr.. Brackets Sitka
garden and the vegetables shipped from
Sitka to the Minnesota state fair.

AUTO.TRAP MAPS
TO CHECK POLICE
War Between Motorists and the
Police Goes Merrily On
in England.
eu York Herald sneciaI Service,


$ London, Nov. 1.-War between the
automobilists and the police. goes on
as determinedly as ever, tho it appears
as if the Automobile association is out
whiting the witness of the police with
all their cunningly laid traps.
Members of the association will, when
a new scheme is perfected, receive a
weekly list containink the latest and
most complete information relating to
the police automobile traps on .impor-
tant roads extending on. an average
sixty miles fror London on each road.
80 The weekly traplist will be. as up
to date as any market report, and IN
finitely more valuable to automobilists.
Al charge of 10 shillings a year will
be made to members toward the cost
Of postage and printing and all other
expenses will be covered by the annual
subscription of guineas to the asso-
citation. .
"The aim. of the association says
the secretary, sis to extend It's system
to every highway, in the. kingdom. L
believe that automobilists should be
controlled by trained patrols, just as
soldiers in garrisons and harbor towns
are controlled by their own comrades
in the form of pickets.
2e'The road hog will soon become ex-
tinct under the new regime, but his
actions will be watched and checked
by patrols wherever he goes.' IT,.
The police have hit upon new plan
to worry their enemies. It is ruled
that, Just as convicts or ticket-of-leave
men must periodically report to the
police, so must automobilists notify the
police Immediately they make any
change Of address.
