Dear Sir
November! The glad month OF
Thanksgiving! Yes, and we have
much for which to be thankful.
Our children number more than
100, and are all well. Only one
death in nearly three years. OF
course we are thankful. And then
we have so many good friends
whose warm hearts go out to the
orphans, and whose deeds prove
that "Charity never faileth.' y We
thank God for them, and we thank
them.
The year has been bad one.
Money has been hard, panlcky
times, you know. But, friends,
the little fellows have to eat, and
be clothed. Winter is near, they
must be cared for. They will be
cared for we know, for a helpless

you did not give what your gener-
Gus heart prompted because you
where hard up when called on,
and you want to help now. We
need help sorely. Bills must be
met, the little ones must be fed,
clothed and warmed.
AS you look at your own dear
little ones about the rudy home
fire, or tucked IN their warm beds,
does not your heart go out to the
children above whom no mother
leans to say 'Good nightP Give
what you can. If you can give

A New Poem By Edwin
Markham
PROBABLY THE GREATEST WORK
OFEtTHE MAN WITH THE Hoe"

Edwin Markham, who made a
worldwide reputation q few years
ago with his poem "The Man
With the Hoe" has written for the
Christmas Woman's Home Com
panion a poem that is considered
| to be even greater than "The Man
With the Hoe" Many who have
read Markham's new poem," Before
the Gospels Were" consider it the
greatest verse of recent years.
"Before the Gospels Were" tells,
with wonderful poetic magma
ton, the story of the gathering to-
gether of the materials for the COS
pels by Christ's disciples after His
ascension. Never before has there
been presented so Illuminating a
picture of what Christ's life meant
to bis disciples ana why it was so
accurately reflected in their gospels.
The opening verse of the poem
is;
Long Moons and evenings after
He was gone,
Mary the Mother, Matthew,
Luke and John,
And all those who loved Him to
the last,
Went over all the marvel OF the
past
Went over all the old familiar
ways
With tender talk Of dear remem'
bered days,
They walked the roads that
never gave Him rest
Past Jordan's ford, past Kedrons
bridge,
Up Olivet, up Hermon's ridge,
To that last road, the one they
loved the best.
The climax of the poemis reach
ed in the last verse, which sums
up all the thoughts that have been
expressed in the preceding lines:
So budding often by the chin
ney blase,
Or going down the old rememr
bered ways
On many a lingering walk,
They held their wonder talk,
Winding each ether of some sac
red spot,
Winding each other of a word
forgot;
So gathering up till all the whis-
pered words
Went to the four winds like a
flight of birds!

Every Man Has A SCrape.

There is popularity about every mans gait
as distinct to the discriminating ear the features
ofhs face or the popularity of his voice. and
ears of most women ''catch on''. Almost every
woman knows the walk of her husband and easily
recognizes the step of many others. One man may
scrape every seventh, tenth or eleventh step. 1t

record is kept blythe women.

That commerce must eventually
move unrestrained between these two
peoples is self evident. Why not
strike off the shackles now and let
1t move freely, instead of being the
heavy penalty of delay. I do not be-
lieve there is one sound objection
on the side of Canada or of the Unit

course. Protection has no meaning or
effect as applied by either one of
the countries against the other. The
assumption of some fixed variations
in the wage level is nonsense. Men
are free to come and go, and now
Canada at this moment depends for
her labor largely upon her French
Canadian population. Wages do
vary, Just as they vary between New
York and Colorado; but their advan-

In the second week Of his strenuous
campaign for the presidency, Judge
Taft invaded North Dakota He was
accompanied by cold wave that
met him at the Twin Cities.
Taft Needs Overcoat.
Great preparations had been made
for his entertainment at Fargo, where
the arrangements contemplated a WIS.,
it by the Republican candidate to a
barbecue near the edge Of the city
All the plans were outlined to Mr..
Taft by a local representative who
boarded the train at Crookston. When
Mr.. Taft limited that he had no gar
ment to protect him from the cold,
the local committee promised to see
to it that he was supplied with proper
garments. .... ...., +.
When the party reached Grand
Forks Senator McCumber got Fargo
on the long distance telephone and
said he wanted the chairman of the
county committee to be at the station
with an overcoat that would fit Judge
Taft "A hundred local politicians OF
Fargo were willing to shiver in the
raw blizzard that the next president
should be properly clad. The difficult
ty was to find man of the Taft ply
steal proportions who owned an over
| coat.
The county chairman was in de-
SPAR until he happened to think of
Finn Leech, bonanza farmer"
whose ranch is only few miles from
Fargo. Finn weighs $40 pounds. The
delighted county chairman lost no
time in getting in touch with Finn.
Did Finn have an overcoat? Sure
i thing, and it was lined with mink and
Ecost SITS.
Where's that Coat?
Ten minutes later the overcoat was
in the hands of the county chairman
and Mr.. Taft was tucked beneath its
ample folds as soon as his train reach
ed Fargo. He wore the coat to the
barbecue and to the meetings follow
ing the feast. And for all that Finn
Leech knows, he may be wearing it
now in Cincinnati.
The coat disappeared when Judge
Taft left Fargo. Nobody seems to
know where it is. It's owner has ask
ed Senator McCumber to make an in
vestigation. MIR. Taft's fellow travel
ers are agreed that he didn't wear the
garment after the Fargo celebration
