STRANGE NEWS.

"N HE Earl of Hawcastle was near
ly at the end Of his financial
rope. And yet to look at him
as he entered upon the terrace
from the lemon grove no one would
have thought that care In the world
possessed him.
Added to the natural calm demeanor
of the Englishman Of station was q
certain self possession gained by years
Of standing on A!e brink Of events,
and, while this brilliant morning his
cares had hung even little more
heavily upon him than was his desire.
yet he gave no outward hint of any
troubles that beset him.
He was well preserved man of ff-
ty-six, with close cropped iron gray
hair and straight cut military mus
tache that hid certain cruel lines in
his mouth and softened the severe
lineaments. He carried himself with
an erectness that bespoke pride in
race, If not in deeds Of his own. He
was distinguished with that curious
individuality that causes those In the
street to nudge one another and ask
In whispers who another may be, and
he was Enthusiastically high bred.
True, his sense of honor that would
balk at cheating in card game OF
the larceny Of travelling bag was
not sufficient to debar him from con

H. L. Humphrey of the GameweH
Fire Alarm Co. has been in the city
for the past few days for the purpose
of installing motor generator in the
battery room of the city building to
supply the current to the fire alarm
system instead Of taking it direct from
the electric light circuit as heretofore.
The new arrangement is an advantage
from an economical standpoint and in
the larger cities where it has been
installed it has given good satisfac-
ton. The generator will not be set
in operation before the first OF the
coming year.

FOUR DAYS A WEEK..
Edwards Manufacturing Co. to Com
mence CurtaiIment in Production.

Beginning this morning the Ed
wards Manufacturing Co, employing
1900 hands, will cut down it's running
time to four days a week. Agent AL
bert S. Pratt in speaking of this cur
tailment to a Journal reporter Sunday
afternoon said: 1.-The Edwards mill
will not run on Friday and Saturday
of each week for the month of NOvem-
Der. This order comes from the Bos-
ton Office and is line with the action
already taken by the cotton manu-
facturers of Lowell and Lawrence
where mills have already gone on short
time
1t is hoped that the reduction of time
Of November as the orders received
by Agent Pratt extend only to the
month of November. The high cotton
market and the slack demand for cot
ton goods are the causes said to be
responsible for curtailment of hours
in the New England cotton mills.
The Arkwright Club, which is COM
posed of practically all the treasurers
of cotton mills in New England in
statement issued Oct. 20, which was
given to the press at the time stated:
at is the sense of this club that pro-
duction of cotton goods should be cur
tailed to an amount equivalent to that
of 224 working hours between this
time and August next and that as part
of such curtalment the Massachu-
sets mills should go on basis of Sc
hours on Nov. l."

BELFAST PASTOR
Occupies Pulpit Of Unitarian Church
In Exchange With Local Pastor.

Rev. Adolph Roosbach, pastor or the
Belfast Unitarian church, occupied the
pulpit of the Augusta Unitarian church
Sunday morning in exchange with the
pastor, Rev. Edwin M. Slocombe. Mr..
Roosbach preached an interesting and
thoughtful sermon from the text: Be
ware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy"
The speaker said in part: This
NAV seem a needless admonition to a
Unitarian congregation as they be-
lieve if there is one thing that will not
spoil you it is philosophy. Yet there
never was a time when this admoni-
ton was needed so much as now.
Science has become word much
frayed at the edges and much is said
in the name Of science that is as mar
row and dogmatic as anything that
was ever said in the name of religion.
Science is simply man observing and
recording the facts of his observation.
A man cannot live without some kind
of a philosophy. 1t doesn't matter
whether you are a spiritualist of a
materialist as long as you have not
left out the facts 1t has been said
tndt Religion is 1ildD duJuSliliS HIS
soul to his philosophy. The Unitarian
attitude of care, of scientific fear lest
they commit themselves to something
has had it's counterpart in the religious
ideas of the past just as has Christian
and Mental Healing. Uni
taranism as Gospel or a philosophy
will only be powerful as it holds to
all the facts and builds upon them.
"Unitarianism will go down and out
so far as does not recognize the i'm
of man: mathematics is not
The greatest science in the world for
God Almighty's universe is bigger than
angles" said the speaker in conclusion.

VIII NOT OWN LAHD2
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY is TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

deep down in the nature Of every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses well-known truth. The ques-
ton is where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great
er possibilities than any other part of
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analysed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality of
great soundness. The climatic condi-
tons of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas or Iowa, the productiveness of the
soil is as great, the social conditions
are on a parity, the laws are as well
established and as carefully observed.
In addition to these the price of land
is much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an Eldorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand a few
letters, written by former residents of
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These go
to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has good basis of fact in support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On the 10Th of April of this year w.
R. Conley, of Lougheed, Alberta wrote
friend in Detroit. He says: THE
weather has been just fine ever since
I came here in March, and 1 believe
one could find if he wanted to some
small lunches of snow around the
edge of the lake. There is a frost near
ly every morning: at sunrise it begins
to fade away, then those blue flow
ers open and look as fresh as if there
had been no frost for a week.
There is no reason why this country
should not become garden Of Eden;
the wealth is in the ground and only
needs a little encouragement from the
government to induce capital in here.
There is everything here to build
with: good clay for brick; coal under
meath, plenty of water in the spring
lakes, and good springs coming out of
the banks"
