treated it as joke. Subscribers
began to clamor for the award,

even insinuated fraud, pointing
out how easy it would be for the
publishers to claim that no one
had answered correctly, and so
escape the payment. But this
was far from Perkins object. In

a NEW ENTERPRISE.

first steps in the new enterprise
Money was ready at their hand
and all that money and energy
could do, was, done with prompt
ness and despatch. The first
number was to be in the way of a
prospectus. Writers of note were
persuaded to contribute, and a
very creditable number it was
when ready for sale. Besides the
articles and stories, there was a
lengthy announcement by the
publishers of the aim and object
of the publication. 1t called upon
the citizens Of Canada to show
their patriotism, by contributing
to the support Of a strictly Cana
dian magazine. But Perkins
little scheme appeared on another
page. 1t was in the nature of a
contest, the entrance fee being a
subscription to ''The Canuck," as
the new magazine was named.
The announcement was as follows:
Zone hundred dollars will be
paid to the person who completes
the following anecdote in the cor
rect language. Read.it carefully.
A well-dressed young lady was
walking down Portage Avenue one
evening, after dark. She wore on
her right hand a diamond ring Of
great beauty, which was a valued
present from her father. Suddenly
a man, who had been walking be-
hind her, seized her hand and at
tempted to draw off the ring. She
screamed; he tugged. The ring
cut the flesh of her finger, but re-
fused to pass over the joint. Her
screams brought policeman run
ming, who captured the highway
man and led him away to the
police station. The young lady
looked refectively at her bleeding
finger, and remarked, complacently:
"Now, dear reader, what did she
remark? If you can tell us, before
someone else does. you willreceive
One Hundred Dollars in gold If
your answer is correct, but not the
first one received, you will be cred
tied with a two years subscription
to The Canuck. The young
lady'sremark was quite appropriate,
and slightly slangy, and showed
her love for the ring"
There was much more in the
same strain, but space forbids the
of it all. The first
issue was sent to all parts of Cana
da. Selling for ten cents and be-
ing extensively advertised in all
the newspapers, it had a ready
sale. The contest caused a great
deal of discussion. Even the
spoke Of it editorially.
''Well, what did she remark?" was
a question banded from mouth to
Instead of greeting you
with, Glow is wheat selling to-
day?' the question would be,
''What did she remark" And
this not only in Winnipeg, but
turnout all Canada. ADVERTISE
ments were headed, "She re-
marked, Ogilvies -four makes the
best Bread" or "She remarked,
That ring came from Porte's jew
elry Store" And so on. It be-
came a byword, like the question,
How old is Ann?"
Answers began to pour in. The
subscription list grew amazingly.
And at the same time advertisers
began to apply for space in the
Advertising columns. Before the
second issue the success of "The
Canuck" was assured.
Of course Perkins had secured
\ competent editor and staff, who

he was famous. Some men, hav-
ing landed in the lap of luxury,
would have been contented to drop
all speculation and live life of
perfect ease, secure in the knowl-
edge that all danger of poverty
was past. Not so Perkins. His
was not of an indolent nature, and
even in his moments of recreation
great schemes would fit thru his
brain-scheme which needed only
elaboration and execution to be-
come actual successes. 1t was not
the love of gain that spurred him
on, but rather the fascination Of
seeing the children of his brain
being evolved from mere theories
10 accomplished facts. His asso7y
citation with Blackler had not been
interrupted, and the partnership
was still in force, altho the chums
no longer lived together. In fact,
Blackler needed the inventive
genius of Perkins, just as Perkins
needed the executive ability of
Blackler. The two made a combi-
nation hard to equal.
Perkins entered the Office of the
Burden Bearers result of
his last venture and addressed
Blackler, who was seated at his
desk.
"Blackie, I'm a Canuck."
"You are like thunder!'
Eyes, sir, [ have complied with
all the requirements of the law,
and am now a fully naturalized
subject of his gracious Majesty
Edward VII. This is the country
for me, old man, and if you are
wise you will follow my example

A magazine that will make our
brothers across the border stare
with amazement, laugh and sco1n,
and finally acknowledge that the
reign of the American magazine
in Canada is over
Perkins was waxing eloquent.
e'Do you know" he continued,
what is the matter with this
country? I'll tell you. Thousands,
yes might even say millions, of
American magazines are sown
broadcast over Canada every month.
These periodicals are loaded with
American advertisements, their
editorials and contributed articles
are all from an American stand
point, and calculated to promul-
gate loyalty to American forms
Of government. Even the stories
ARE American, principally. Cana
dian stories, if any, deal with the
frozen north and convey an entirely |
wrong impression Of the character
of the country. l propose to
change all this, by superseding the
American magazine with one
strictly Canadian. ADVERTISE
sments, editorials, stories and all
will be Canadian. Then pressure
will be brought to bear on the

purpose of levying duty of some

IhankML-G Grateful.

4 Gautatzlde is rather the feeling,
and Mank1uluess the expression of
feeling We may look grateful,
bat we speak our thanks. Thank
fulness is uttered; gratitude is
sometimes too deep for utterance.
Gratitude is on the alert to make
a return for kindness; thankful
ness publishes kindness. Graft
tude is silent, but lasting;
thankfulness is temporary, and is
the expression of our gratitude.

Saluta1y- Saluby7ous.

Both these words signify i'm
proving the health. Salutayg how
ever, is not so immediate in it's
effects as saludyzous. This latter
word is used in a passive sense; it
signifies having the property of
improving health The air in the
south of France is equally salu-
brious, whether we reside there or
not. The word salutary has
more active meaning; what it
qualities affects us, as it were, of
it's own accord For this reason,
salubrious is more frequently used
in proper sense. while salutary is
generally used metaphorically.
Thus we have salubrious air, eli
mate, water, etc.; and salutary
doctrine, influence, practice, etc.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1906-07-19
Sufficient Enongh.


Enough has passive meaning;
it respects self-enjoyment: suf5-
caem is an active quality, and re-
spects the necessaries Of life. A
man has enough who has no
longer desire; man has suffi-
cient who has no longer a want.
Some men never have enough, tho
they have much more than suffi-
cient. The measure of enough is
the satisfying of our desires; the
measure of sufficient depends on
what is to be done with it. We
may have enough for ourselves,
but not sufficient to provide for
the wants of others. A man may
have lived long enough, as far as
he himself is concerned. without
having had sufficient time to do
all the good he could have wished.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1906-07-19


The word sure is used actively,
the word certain, passively. The
former is more frequently joined
with verb; the latter with
participIe. What is to be done
may be sure; but what is already
done is certain. The idiom Of our
language will not allow us to say
"He is certain to do some thing;"
but we may say, 'tHe is sure to do
it." We are sure Of what we are
convinced will happen; we are
certain of what we are satisfied is
true. We are not sure, but cet-
tain of our existence; we cannot
be certain but may be sure, Of
what is to happen. Certain has
to do with our reason; sure has to
do with our feelings.
