THE PROSPECTORS' CHRISTMAS To the Editor
 It is little late for Christmas story, but as the incidents hereinafter related happened on that day it was not possible to relate them sooner. I am not much of a hand for Eggnog and Tom and Jerry or any mixed drinks, but when it comes round to Christmas, some way or other my mind reverts back to other days and places, where Eggnog and Tom and Jerry were the prevailing drinks. But to the story.
 On this particular Christmas, I and three other prospectors were camped on the beach in Kasaan bay. There was no snow, except high up on the mountains, but there was rain in abundance. While partaking of our coffee and bacon, Jack remarked: Well, boys, here it is Christmas morning, and we are out here in these forsaken damp woods, while our folks are at home having good time" "Yes," said Bill, land drinking egg nog! 'Cut it out" yelled. Have mt you got any feeling left for poor, disconsolate soul '" ''Now, don't get hot," said Bill. 9TH tell you what" "What?" we all anxiously

AN INEXHAUSTIBLE MINE.

The Truth miner ever sees new beauties and values in the gems of truth discovered. which from his own choice in receiving, transforms his life in accord with all good righteous government. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness and thy law is the truth.' Every miner is supplied with a transcript of this law. and yet never is one seen tackled on post or over door ,and one is never confronted with hard and fast rule to which he must reluctantly conform: but the law is written iu the Heshy "tables of the heart," so that every miner becomes living epistle known and read of all men. Thus such in
 consistencies as one refusing the pro- ducts of other mines because they do not have certain "mottoes" on them. is evidence that such an one should "sink the shaft deeper," for outward appearances are often deceiving and are not taken as evidence by the Man. ager of Truth Mine but "Thou de- sirest truth in the inward parts'' and once there the gems will radiate from within and each person will himself be "a banner displayed because of the truth, swayed by the resistless breeze of love; and all feel sale from harm so far as he is concerned. for "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: there fore love is the fulfilling of the law. ,"
 So the statutory element in Truth Mine is based upon the broad princi- ples of self government with unlimlt- ed room for development, and ample provision made for all who are really truth seekers though they may be slow to learn and their work defective for time, for Hove covereth mul- titude of sirs.

THE WORLDS WIDEST RIVER

WOhl4D D W DCO1 M l. lN
 The Amazon, in South America, is the longest river on the face of the globe, and is l60 miles in width at it's mouth. The distance from the source of the Amazon in the Andes to the Atlantic oceap is ,, 900 miles in a direct line, but by the course of the river nearly 1, ,000 miles. The Amazon drains an area of }, 800, GOO square miles ten times the area of France and in connection with the river and it's tributaries, there are said to be 90, 00O miles of navigable waters, one-half Of which is suitable for steam nav igation by large vessels. The nun Der, length and volume of the Anazon's tribu- taries are in proportion to their mag nitude. More than twenty superb rivers, 1000 miles and upwards in length, poor their waters into it, and streams of less importance are num-
 beress At the junction of the Yuca- yali with the Amazon, fifty fathom line does net reach bottom, and in breadth it is more like sea than a river. The largest tributary is the Madeira, which has a length of 2,00o miles. Fifty miles out to sea iron the mouth of the Amazon you can draw bucket of fresh water from the deck of ship, and although some- what brackish it is nevertheless very good average water. J. J. DOYLE.

THE CANE CROP.

The Sugar Planters Jour-
nal has the following sum-
mary of the condition of the
sugar crop through the
Louisiana cane district:
Though the past fort
nights work in the cane fields
has been interrupted by gen.
eral showers, the final
cultivation of the crop has
now been practically COM
pleted in the various parishes
and the fields left in a state
of unusual freedom from
grass, due to the thorough
cultivation given. With ad'
mirable growing weather
from now on, there is reason
to hope that much Of the
shortage in size of the cane
complained Of in some Sec
tions will be made up during
the summer, but it seems
definitely assured we will not
see the harvesting Of any re-
cord crop the coming fall;
yet we may expect a normally
good sugar out turn, should
the summer bring the usual
quota of moisture, for the
stands of cane average higher
than ordianirily on many
estates, and this may offset
much of the canes deficiency
in growth. There is no get
ting around the fact that,
the size Of the cane crop, fol
the middle of July, is small
ler than usual.

The parish of st. Tam.
many has arrived at the right
idea in the solutions Of the
question Of good roads. The
Police Jury has asked for
D ermission from the people
to issue $4,000 worth OF
bonds to be used in building
better highways for the
public. We do not say to
Richard" Go thou and do like
wise, - but wish to emphasize
the fact that elsewhere they
have grasped the idea that it
takes money to build good
roads. The sooner we be-
come acquainted with this
fact, and also that the money
could not be better spent, the
better it will be for the vel
fare of the parish we live in.

Journal, which is the organ

that city, publishes an edi.
torial in which it declares it.
self strongly for Mr.. Bryan.
Without any show of passion
or enthusiasm it expresses
the opinion that the Demo
cratic nominee will be elected
President this year by a ma
jority Of the popular vote
and the electoral college as
large as that by which he
was defeated in 1895.
The Journal declares that
it has supported Roosevelt,
Hughes and Mcclellan and
stood for government regard
less Of politics, but it is con-
vinced that the Republican
platform was controlled by
special interests and lacking
a strong and aggressive per-
sonality Of a man like Roose-
welt the Republican admin
istration will be owned and
controlled by these interests.
On the other band Bryan
represents and has stood for
the policiesfhat made Roose-
welt popular and will be able
to enforce them with the
Democratic party behind
him, whereas Mr. Taft, in that
direction would be helpless.
| So far as the Hearst move
ment is concerned the Jour.
nal confirms the reports of
New York daily papers that
it will amount to nothing be-
cause the members of his In.
dependence League in New
York and Brooklyn are open
ly declaring for Bryan. 1t
is fair to assume that such
a publication as the Realty
Journal is in close touch
with a large element Of SUBJ
stantial citizens in New York,
and it's expressions may be
taken to indicate the feelings
of that element-the quiet
vote which takes no part in
the clamor Of the campaign
and which is not heard from
until election day.
The opposition of such a
paper to Taft, the enthu-
siastic Democratic ratification
meetings in Brooklyn and
the larger city, together with
the statement of Mr.. Herbert
Parsons that the greatest
danger to republican success
lis over-confidence indicate
quite clearly that there is
very much more Bryan SEN
timent in New York than the
hostile press there is willing
to admit. But there is rea-
son to believe that the SEN
timent will be conspicuous
before the campaign is over,
and the fears of Mr.. Parsons
as to over-confidence will be
fully justified. N. 0. States.
