The Ihrs. Great ahannsIs.

Every human ~being-man, woman
and child, hero and convict, neuras-
thenic and deep sea fisherman, athlete
and invalid-needs the blessing of God
through three, and only three, great
channels = responsibility, recreation
and affection; work, play and love.
With these any life Is happy in spite
Of sorrow and pain, successful despite
the bitterest failures. Without them a
man breaks his heart, severs his con
soious connection with God. II you
want to keep d headstrong, fatuous
youth from ~oyerreaching himself you
try to give him responsibility, recrea-
t1on and affection. II you want to put
courage and aspiration into the gelatt-
nous character of d street walker or
the Pickering mentality Of a hysteric
you labor to furnish just the same trio
work, recreation and affection. In
every case the healing power which
you want to give is real life, and real
life means just these three things.
The same needs are fixed for all OF us
and the same all sufficing bounty IN
the supply IL w can get and Keep In
touch with it.-Atlantic.

UNEMPLOYED CANADA.
Vast Areas Where the Foot Of a White
Man Has Never Trod.

Man Has Never Ircus
There are vast areas In Canada OF
which even tie government has no
definite knowledge, and there are thou-
sands of sauares miles where the foot
of a white man has never trod. Prac-
tically oil knowledge of this big wild
country has been secured again and
again along a few chosen and well
wern routes, outside of which i1lvestl.
cation has seldom gone.
Imagine Il dozen or SO well beaten
vehicle highways traversing a country
ene-fourth as large as Europe-narrow
highways hemmed in by fmpenetrable
wilderness-and one may form some
sort of idea of the little that Is still
known of 100000 square miles Of the
North American continent.
Along these routes nearly all Eek
plorers'. have gone. Along t m are
situated most of the fur posts, md be-
yond their narrow lines but little is
known. And In this world OF forest
and ridge mountains and eternal desc
lation, still buried In the mystery and
silence of endless centuries. are Its
''people."
Approximately there are from $4,000
to 25,0oo human souls In an area IF
teen times the size of Ohio, and there
are no more thun 500 of these whe
have not some Indian blood In their
VEINS On the other hand, fully one
half OF the total population has Its
strained white blood.-Leslie's Weekly

vide the City into taking districts and
To- select and appoint a Board Of AS
SCISSORS and Collector. The Importance
of these officers are so great and SO
familiar to the Council that ii is nn-
necessary to comment thereon. One
thing should be impressed by the
Council on all the officers, that ON tineEs
as much as the governing body DE-
ponds the success and prosperity OF
the city.
UnpHld Taxes and Assessments
Assessments for curbing, guttering
and tagging dene under the Borough
government are stin uncollectcd. The
work represented by these monies has
been paid for and the assessment
should be collected. When any right
full grievance exists let it be adjusted
and where no reason exists for nonpay-
ment let the collection be enforced.
We are constantly alert to collect
taxes from d~elinquents. This is as it,
should be, but while advertising and
d~unning the house and lot owner let M
not forget the Susquehanna Coal COM
pany which now owes sufficient to de-
fray the city s. expenses for a year.
The collection Of thst tax should be
fastened by every known means. When
it is considered that the City has paid
ito full quota Of state, county and
school tar and has not received a dol
lar from this vast assessment then TT
is apparent that here is something very
wrong with the tax laws. IF necessary
appeal should be made to the legisIaE
ture to compel the refunding to the
city Of the money already paid as
based upon this assessment, and to-
prevent a repetition Of the injustiees
The time must be neal when q final
determination Of the litigation with
the. Coal company must be reached. IL
the result should, as we hope and ex-
poet, be favorable to the City a largc
sum Of money would be collectibfea and
payable into our treasury. Is there
any legal means Of using that money
for other than current expensesf Would
it not be wise to devote it to the ex-
tinEnishment of q partition Of the bond
ed debt about TO be entailed for sew
ers, or to utilize this fund for the pur.
pose Of constructing and completing q
system of waterworksf IF legislation
be needed to effectuate this recommen-
dation we should endeavor to secure
whatever is required.
Conclusion.
Our people, having had a taste OF
modern government, seem to desire
more. You have a public endorsement
of the policy you have pursued; y
should be not alone a guiding star but
an encouragement for the future. Our
honest purpose to give good govern
ment will be appreciated, and win be
rewarded with success. Content with
the past conscious Of the present. and
confident Of the future, let our motto
for 1911 be Careful, Conservative
Progress" May the New Year be la
den with happiness for us and those
we have the honor to serve.

ty-four hours by a fog that extended
far out to sea and stopped traffic on
water so well that only one vessel. a
coaster, succeeded IN getting by quar-
antine, though there were nearly q
dozen steamships outside the bar al
day waiting for a lift Of the fog. Not
a vessel left the pert.

On board the Bermudian from Ber-

got no farther before dark, there were

Other ships known to be anchored
outside were the Havana from Ha-
