LONELINESS.

From far away through the wood still
Comes the sobbing note of the whppoorwi
The that cold and white
Stares at the world with look Of fright,
And the trees in the shadow toss and moan
When you're trudging the weary alone
Another time what friendly
Has the whippoorwll with the tireless throatl
The moon has Jolly face and round,
As jolly face could be found
And the sigh of the wood is a tranquil song
If some one with you is trudging along. -

JOHN MESCI FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
JURY RETURNED VERDICT IN
CANADIAN TRAGEDY AFTER
TWENTY-FIVE MIMI
TIES CELEBRATION.

Saskatoon, Sask., Dec. 1S.-"Guilty
Of murder" was the verdict which the
jury returned against John Mesci, the
self-confessed murderer of George
Thoburn, Mrs. Thoburn and Mrs.
McNlven, near Quill Lake on Nov. l
last after being out just twenty five
minutes this afternoon. This verdict
came after a trial lasting about
twenty hours, and after Mesci him
self had gone into the box, and
though admitting his crime, declared
that he knew nothing Of what hap
pened between ~ o'clock on Sunday
until o'clock the following day, af-
ter the murder had been committed.
The court house was crowded to
suffocation all day. Throughout the
entire proceedings Mesci was prob
ably the most unconcerned man in the
court, thought during all this time he
sat with his eyes riveted upon the
witnesses as they rehearsed the de-
tails OF the crime. Only at one time
was he noticed the least affected, and
that was as he waited for the words
Of the jury. which might or might not
end his earthly career.

WOOLLEY SUPPORTS
JOHNSON'S BILL
LATE NORTH DAKOTA soLoN
SOUGHT TO PROHIBIT SALE
OF INTOXICATING La
oUoRS IN HAWAII.

Washington, Dec. II. ~ John @.
Woolley, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league of the Hawaiian islands,
appeared yesterday before the senate
committee on Pacific islands and Porto
Rico in support of a bill introduced by
the late Senator Johnson of North Da-
kota 70 prohibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors in Hawaii Mr.. Woolley replied
to the Hawaiian legislatures memorial
which asserted that the people OF the
Hawaiian islands were capable of de-
Gliding for themselves whether they
wanted compulsory prohibition.
It was asserted by Mr.. Woolley that
q majority of the people sentimentally
would be for federal legislation pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor If it were not
for the opposition aroused by liquor
interests through a circulation of a
report that the effect of the passage
Of such a bin would be to say to the

Women Are Extremists
THE BUSINESS WOMAN OFTEN
MAKES THE MISTAKE OF
ABANDONING HOME
INFLUENCES.
WOMEN are apt to be extremists

WOMEN are apt to be extremists.
The woman who adopts the
broader sphere" of business should not
lose her head over her new field of ac-
tivity. but strive to maintain a proper
balance.
One meets all too often In clubs and
business circles the woman who glories
in the fact that she is not domestic"
Usually she goes around with her
buttons hanging by one thread, with
her hair plastered down any old way
and with no regard for harmony in the
selection of her wardrobe
She says she can't be bothered sewing
or mending her clothes and that she
has more important things to accom-
plish in this world than fussing around
a house.
She lives in the cheapest way she
can usually in furnished room house.
taking her meals here, there and every
where. and she scorns any other be-
longings than her books and papers.
She has a perfect contempt for the
stay at home woman who has her own
apartment and does the marketing.
Now. this Is great mistake. The
hardest workers, the most successful
business men, are those who have
homes to which they can turn after the
days struggle and whero they can and
peace and quiet and different atmos-
phere from that Of the business world.
1t seems that bohemianism is a char
acter1stic peculiar to those struggling
at the foot of the ladder. There never
was woman worth while who did not
want some place she could make real
home, no matter how humble
The woman who goes around with
her clothes unmended is not striking
out the superficial, as she fondly be-
lieves She Is cutting out the neces-
sary and striking at the very founda-
tons OF her character.
If we are not neat, well dressed, alert
and spicl and span in every way we
fail to prove that we are the finest
kind of human beings, and OF course
that Is what we want to be.
The woman who is without home In
nuences OF some kind soon becomes
hard and hateful. not because she is a
woman. but because she Is a human
being. Men are the same
We all need a bit OF the home at
nnosphere.
