In this country We have been long
familiar with the complaint that 1t is
hard to get Americans to enlist in the
navy or engage in the marine service.
On top Of this knowledge comes the
news from Canada that 1t has been
found practically impossible to garri'
son the Notifications at Halifax and
Esquimault with Canadian troops. II
is probable that both In Canada and
the United States the condition respon.
sible for this reluctance Of young men
to enlist is the very condition Of ma
tional prosperity which both countries
are glad to record. The industrial and
commercial opportunities in America
to-day are so numerous and widespread
that very much more generous induce
ments than are now held out to young
men, apparently, must be offered to
persuade them to abandon the civil
for the military life.

A BUSY MANS BLUNDER.
BY Rey. 6. b. r. HaIloch. D.. ID


Text: "As thy servant was busy
here and there, he was gone" l. Kings
20:40.
For the environment Of this verse
we must 20 back three thousand years.
The words occur in the midst Of the
account of a parable acted by a dis
guished prophet, probably Micaiah,
who in a wounded, disconsolate plight
greeted Ahab, king Of Israel, as he was
riding VIGOROUSLY homeward from a
day of bloody battle with the Syrians.
Ahab had strangely, and most dis
obediently, at the close of the battle
entered into a covenant Of peace with
Ben-Hadad, the enemies leader, and
let him go absolutely free.
1t was therefore desirable to have
Ahab, pronounce judgment against his
own conduct. So the prophet took a
plan to secure this. He ordered a man
to smite and wound him. Then, in
the guise of a soldier, he approached
the king Of Israel, telling him that in
the midst Of the battle ons had brought

WORKING GIRLS HOTEL.
One Established i'm London Where Rate
Is % Cents a Day.


One Established in London Where Rate
Is % Cents a Day.
Lord Radstock, a wealthy relative
Of the duke of Manchester-the, latter
known principally as the husband of
Miss Zimmerman, of Cincinnati-has
opened in southwest London a hotel
for working girls, says the Detroit Tri-
bune.
This, in itself, isn't new. Other
hotels for working girls have been
established and have met with more
or less success-and advertisement.
Lord R~adstock, however, thinks he
has solved the problem Of how to live
on % cents a day, and has planned his
hotel to meet an extraordinary demand
along that line.
At his hotel the charge for lodging
is IS cents a week-12 cents a night.
In addition, meals are provided at
the minimum cost. A pot Of tea, for
instance, may be had for 2 cents; a
t~hree-course dinner, consisting Of soup,
steak, pudding and fruit pie, for 8
cents. Roast beef, or pork, two vege-
tables and plum pudding cost only II
cents. Irish stew requires an expen-
diture Of 4 cents, and all buildings only
2 cents.
A boarder may delve as deeply or as
lightly into the bill of fare as she
chooses. She may scale the menu and
| live fotr1u nall mr. MAJ no tho li~ir
and luxuriate. She may keep her ex-
penditure down to 25 cents a day, but,
at any rate, cannot soar much above
that figure.
The hotel has bright, well-furnished,
sitting rooms, classrooms, a workroom
Tor sewing and a laundry. Ihe bed
rooms are light, airy and comfortable
and hot water and baths are free.
An immense marble-lined skating
rink. on which many pleasure seekers
car find room, is one Of the features
Of the hotel. Swings and gymnastic
apparatus will be put up in the near
future.
Lord Radstock allows his girl board
ers plenty Of liberty. The rules are
few and not irksome.
Lights are out at 1920, but permits
sion to stay out till later can be OBJ
tanned from the matron. Visitors are
permitted, but male guests are re-
ceived only in the hall.
There is no age limit for the board
ers.
For a long time Lord Radstock has
been interested in such philanthropic
work; he is now just entering his list
year. His father was a vice-admiral
in the English navy. His grandfather,
the Rt--Hon. William Waldegrave, was
raised to the peerage in 1900.

FOUND A LONG-LOST DEED.
Chance Saved a Valuable Legacy to
Kansas University.

Snancc paveu a Legacy to
Kansas University.
An u%nrecorded deed was found in
an obscure corner Of an old desk in
Lawrence, Kan, not long ago which
insured to the University Of Kansas a
valuable legacy, says the Kansas City
Star. After the death Of the late Gov.
Charles Robinson 1t was found that
he had followed up a number of valu-
able gifts made to the university dur
Ing his lifetime by bequeathlng to the
university his valuable farm a few
miles north Of Lawrence. His widow
was to have the farm during her life
and then 1t was to 90 to the State Uni
versity.
A few months ago L. S. Steele, an
abstracter in Lawrence, was commits
stoned to make an abstract of the farm.
He found the title vested in a sister
Of Gov. Robinson by virtue of a deed
made more than twenty-five a ago.
The executors could not find any Iced
or other instrument transferring the
property to Gov. Robinson. For a
time 1t seemed as If the legacy would
be lost. The woman in whom the title
was vested had been dead for several
years. The widow Of the dead gov
ernor was sure that her husband had
held the title Of the farm at the time
of his death. A thorough search was
made.
Finally 1t occurred to n of the ex-
ecutors to compile a list of all of the,
agents Gov. Robinson had employed
during his lifetime. All Of these agents
that could be found were seen and
each Of them searched everywhere for
the deed. Finally one of them recall
ed an old desk hat he had sold to n
secondhand dealer a few years before.
The desk was traced 10 a farmhouse,
almost adjoining the Robinson farm.
The desk was reached, but the missing
document was not discovered. The
farmer who owned the desk was NOT
satisfied with the search made by the.
lawyers who had visited him for that
purpose. He took the desk apart and
behind a broken panel found the miss
ing deed.
The document was recorded the next
day and the widow of the late Gov
Robinson Is now sure of her homo DIR
ing her lifetime and the University ~
Kansas Is again secure in its anticina-
ton Of a valuable legacy.

themselves more in public affairs, on

right to demand the young men shall
share with others who have not been
so fortunate in their mental training.

There has been a good deal of criti-
cism Of the Legislatures this year, but
can anybody name a really wicked bill
passed by any Of the Legislatures? On
the other hand 1t is easy to enumerate
quite a string of measures which were
enacted under the reform label.
