How to Use Red cross Seals.


How to Use Red Cross Seals is
the title of an interesting publication
recently issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis.
Red Cross Seals must be placed
only on the back of letters and not
on the address side of packages that
are going through the mail. They
may be placed anywhere or matter
going by express. Care should he
taken in sending merchandise through
the mails not to place seals over the
strings with which the package is tied.
since this seals the package against
inspection and subjects it to first
class postage rates. AS many seals
may be used on the back Of a letter
or package as may be desired. Every
one is urged to use them literally.
since every seal is a bullet in the war
against tuberculosis.
Red Cross seals are not good for
postage, and will not carry mail mat
ter, but any kind of mail matter will
carry them. Finally, every letter or par.
eel sent out, either by mail or in some
other way, during the holiday sea
son should bear one or more Red
Cross seals.

DWARFING THE GIANT TREE
Professor Brewers story of the Un-
named Woman in the California
Redwood Forest.

Apropos of woman's inability to
forego the last word, the late Prof.
William H. Brewer of Yale was wont
to tell an incident which occurred in
California several years ago.
The wonder of the immense dimen-
sions of the redwood trees always ap-
pealed to him, and he was ever de-
lighted to show these forest giants to
his friends. The trees do not look so
enormous when one is riding among
them, and Mrs. X. was not properly
awed by their %3tupendous proportions.
Really, professor" she argued,
"they are nots 10 very large, after all"
They were riding along in single
file, and the professor halted.
my horses head is just at the edge
of this tree, isn't it?"
She nodded.
"And your horse is behind mine"
Again she nodded.
Following you is Professor x, and
behind him Mr.. q, whose horses tail
is at the farther side of the tree. That
means that the diameter of this tree
is the length of four horses standing
head to tail in a straight line"
Mrs. x. turned in her saddle and
viewed the trees and the horses. For
several seconds she said nothing;
then her face lighted up, and she
smiled at him as she exclaimed:
"Oh, but professor, there are very
small horses!"-Youth's Companion.

with which the breaking Of King Da-

when they brought him word of the
death of his erring son Absalom.
Deal gently with the young man."
the old king had said to the soldiers
he sent out to capture the rebellious
youth. And when divine justice cut
him off in his sins, David cried, "Oh!

Through the ages this cry has fung.
It has burst from the heart Of almost

aer passionate tears are those of re-
bellion against injustice to one who

mothers Of Carlyle Harris and Harry

OFFICIAL INVITATION
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS,, ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO VEST
ERIN CANADA.

During tho course of a reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog-
ers, the newly appointed Minister of
the Interior of Canada st a banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for
ward policy in the matter of immigra-
ton. In part, he said:
1.-THE most important branch per-
haps of that department Cnterior) is
that Of immigration.
IF there is anything more than an
. other we want here it is a greater pop
~ulation, and it shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts Of the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities Of this country. We
have received in the past a reasonably
large immigration from south of the
international boundary, and in this
connection let me say just a word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst us, and those
whom we hope to welcome In greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands of them in
our prairie provinces, happy in the en-
joyment of a freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in a
material way towards the Development
of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of our emf
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class Of emigrants any
new country has ever known. AS
head of the immigration department il
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
SO contribute to their welfare that i'm.
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great a degree
of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people Of the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in it's power to increase the
bonds of kiHship and n~eighborly goot
feeling that has SC long existed
(Hear, hear.)
while we adopt a vigorous emf
grafton policy in that country, we will
also adopt the same vigorous policy IL
other parts of the world. We will g.
to England, Ireland and Scotland, ant
every other country irrespective o
race. creed or nationality, where w
can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. I thin.
much good work can be done in thos
countries, and especially perhaps q
the present tirse in England, lrelan
and Scotland. Now, then, it will b
my duty to stir up that policy in tn
most vigorous ann possible"

Little Willie, being a city boy, had
never seer a COW. While on a visit to
his grandmother he walked out across
the fields with his cousin John. A cow
was grazing there, and Willie's curios-
ity was greatly excited.
ooh, Cousin John, what is that?" he
asked.
"Why that is only a cow" John re-
piled.
And what are those things on her
head?"
Horns" answered John.
Before they had gone far the cow
mooed long and loud.
Willie was astonished. Looking
back, he demanded in a very fever of
interest:

when the young mar returned home
almost boasting of having killed his
wife in Italy had something awe-in-
spring in its loneliness. Here was a
highly respected man, of good south
ern family, who had attained a posi-
ton of trust and responsibility in the
service of his country, who had
brought UP a bright boy, with all the
care and solicitlde of a refined home,
lavishing affection upon him, hoping
great things for him, and suddenly all
these hopes were swept away and in
their place he must needs forge Tor
himself a solitary grim hope--that OF
saving the boy from the disgrace OF q
murderer's death.
Gen. Hams Pathetic Figure.
Another heroic figure-heroic be-
cause Of the way it stood firm in the
tempest of tragedy swept about it
was that Of Gen. Peter G. Hams, ia
ther of Capt. Peter c. Hams and
Thornton Hams. When Capt. Hams
killed the man he believed had wreck
ed his home, and he and his brother
were accused of conspiring together to
commit murder, the old fathers fight
ing blood rose and he turned like an
old lion to defend his cubs. In his
eyes his sons deed was justified. This
point of view was shared by a large
number of people, women as we'll as
men. That he saved his sons from
the grip of the law was a triumph for
him, but the triumph only a~ttenuated
the grief that the killing had laid upon
him.
So it was with gallant old Gen. Mol
ineux. He, however, was spared the
grim horror of knowledge Of a sons
guilt, for he firmly believed in Rol-
and's innocence of the murder, and
his fight for the youths acquittal was
urged on not only by affection but by
confidence in the triumph of justice.
Another father who was buoyed up
to the last by faith in his boys inno-
cence was A. F. Tucker, whose son
Charles was put to death for killing
Mabel Page. To the very last he was
firm in this faith. He Kept up the
fight to prove his son innocent right to
the hour of execution, and in one OF
his petitions to the governor for elem
ency he expressed in a sentence the
tragedy Of the parent whose son ia
accused of a grave-crime: "Our hearts
are bursting with anguish"
Such a al as this was that OF
Henry Clay. Beattie. the Richmond
banker, whose son has been convict
ed of numbering his young wife. He
kept up the fight, having appealed for
a new trial, without result. The ia.
Tiers heart must be wrung with grief
