>PITTLE GEORGE wanted TO send

- his mother suggested that he
might mail one 10 his father he met
the suggestion with enthusiasm. She
went with him to the store where
they were sold and he finally selected
one-a hideous caricature Of man
with large bald head. II so hap
pened that Georges papa was bald.
and for that reason the little boy
thought the one selected would be
very appropriate. II was accordingly
placed in an envelope and addressed
in large printed letters by George
himself to his parent. or course.
when the father came upon IL In his
mail he recognized the scrawl Of the
writer and chuckled at his small sons

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The immigration During 1906 Was
$4,000.

While II Is well to heed every
word OF caution from the leaders In
commerce and finance and 10 avoid
all speculative ventures that lack a
solid business foundation, IL is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era OF
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-The Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty of money, and our lead.
Ing financial institutions are in 20.
sition to lend freely In the United
States. The chief productive enter.
prises OF Canada are not buoyed up
by an era OF dangerous speculation.
but are following substantial bust.
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
. whole, and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure OF the arti-
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would Gre
ate great fortunes for a few at the
tAItHHO VI AnC DuDnC anu
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity OF Canada has no ar
tificlal foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion OF
trade and industry. with proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
II is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction.
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
Gus settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for 1t
is quite reasonable TO assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop a far
greater productive capacity than al
present Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by a judicious pol
Icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dation of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not in
the flush of a railway mania that
could bring it's punishment through
the useless duplication Of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line OF business
In Canada will create a new Domin-
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens Of debt now freely assumed
Canada's era of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is no sign
OF weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need hare no
alarm at its rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands OF
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of 10000 to
its population. OF this the United
States contributed 63.7s1. The agents
OF the Canadian government whose
advertisement appears elsewhere. say
that this number will be largely in
creased during 1907.

Wondering birthdays and ami
versarles and sending a valentine to

amiabe old saint comes round in the
calendar arc little acts which help
along happiness and keep alive the
fame Of affection. The husband Of 20
years who mails modest lace paper
heart to his wife on his way home the
night before, and then watches her
nutterlng delight as she opens her
nail the next morning keeps alive a
tender feeling OF sentiment that
smooths the rough places Of daily liv-
ing. The wife who sends valentine
