ners, telling everybody, I'm an Amer
ican!" Such women ought to be kept
at home and forced to use some of
their wealth in learning to acquire an
agreeable speaking voice, correct Eng
lish and the manners current among
well bred people.
A woman who evidently prides her
self on her gentility sends to a lead
ing newspaper a wall about the impos-
sibility of getting domestic servants
any more. Despairingly she asks the
editor, What can we do about it"
Do? Do your own Homework. 1t will
be good for your health. 1t will de-
stroy the morbid foolishness that Is
apt to fill the Imagination Of idle wo-
men.
The reason many women declare they
cannot take long walks may be found
often in one word-shoes. Hardly any
exercise so makes for health and hand
someness as walking. yet how many
women affirm it is impossible for them
to walk more than half a dozen blocks.
II you look at the feet Of such women,
in nine cases out Of ten you will find
them wearing shoes with stilted French
heels and sharp pointed toes. Besides
that, the shoes themselves will be two
sizes too small. Now, does it pay for
woman to deprive herself Of the
power of walking, also of good looks
and joyous health, just to squeeze her
feet into an understood shoe whose
shape is only fit for indoor wear?
Are you grieving yourself i'll. eating
your heart out over some trouble that
has come upon you? All, what's the
use? You are only spelling your good
looks. Never take anything seriously
that you cannot alter. Take humor-
GUS view of 1t. Maybe you haven't
found it out yet. but there Is humor-
Gus side to every tragedy in this life.

We really are coming back to nature

Gambling Is His Ruin.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 81
Abram Joyce, late registrar of the
county court at Fernie, was arrested
yesterday on charge of misappropri-

drink are said to be the cause of the
young mans downfall, as he lost heav-

Dec. 10, 1906.

Next year the attention Of the whole
country, and of the world for that
matter, will be fixed upon the cele-
bration of the three hundredth ami
versary of the founding of Jamestown,
Va, by English colonists. Other i'm
porta~- dates connected with the set
Element Of America by the English
race will be recalled in the same con-
nection. One of these dates is Dec 10,
1906, when the ships of the king, the
Discovery. the Godspeed and the Sarah
Constant, sailed westward from the
English port. bearing strange COM
pany of men and women, who were to
gain foothold in the new world.
The fact that the three ships sent
out on this venture landed at the
place afterward called Jamestown was
mere accident The site was declar-
ed by some of the company, John
Smith, for example, as unsuitable. The
objection was justified later, for the
colony nearly starved there The re-
suit might have been better and prob
ably would have been no worse had
the venturesome voyagers landed else
where than at jamestown. But the
brave spirit Of these pioneers was the
unconquerable thing in the whole ex-
petition, and the event of their sailing
across an unknown sea to savage, wilds
to build a new England deserves more
than a passing thought

Industry of that section of the coun-
try. Two lines have already been es-
tablished in the town and the rich
country lying between the Quill Plains
and the famous Regina district is to
be tapped with a line running direct
from Regina, crossing the main line
at this point, and running in a north
easterly direction to the fertile Swan
river valley.
Government support has been given
to the part of the new transcontinen-
tai lines that connect Winnipeg with
the great lakes, and the Grand Trunk
Pacific company, which builds the Sec
ton to run from Winnipeg, is doing
it's utmost to get the rails down as
far west as Edmonton before the
ground freezes.
Already the line has been completed
and is opened for freight as far as
Minnesota, 1856 miles west of Winni-
peg.
The increased railroad facilities
have made Nokomis the junction point
with the Canadian Pacific and have
also made it the most promising and
the liveliest town in that part of the
dominion.
Despite the fact the town is but
six months old, it has 80 buildings,
two banks and three hotels. Two

The Worlds Railroads.

A year and half ago, according to
a German statistician, the railroad
mileage OF the world was 563, III
miles, or 1906 miles more than in the
preceding yeas. OF the worlds mile
age the United States had 215,
miles and Europe TO-. 247 miles. The
worlds capital in railways is estimated
at over $4,000, 100000. and the aver
age cost per mile, with equipment,
ETC., is $76,850. In the United States
the average cost per mile was sos, 03S;
in England, s3O5, 900 per mile. II the
reflective person considers what IA
ciiities for transportation the various
countries have in their rivers and
canals, the cost of their railways will
appear to mark the extent of the de-
ficiency of water transportation.

Union Pacific steel car, which was on

of spectators and many scientific men
who were interested in the possibili-

with round windows-which offer far
greater resistance in case of accident,
and side entrances, which also lessen
the danger of telescoping. 1t has ven
