court a bower; its walls glistening
marble. It's height was great and its
general effect imposing. There We're

cars Of its tenants. I went in at the
entrance where I had left her, took
the elevator to the fifth floor and
rang the bell of her suite. The door
was opened by an iHscrutable-faced
mulatto maid who surveyed NE up
and down with quick keenness that
made me feel that she would never
forget me. I inquired for her mistress
and was Immediately shown into a
handsomely furnished reception par
Ior. Promptly Mrs. Dace came float
ing from between the portieres.
I viewed her with refreshed admira-
ton Her gown though Of angelic
simplicity was yet a triumph of art
fulness. The cunning of master
hand was revealed in each smooth
curve and the delicate tracery of lace
work through which the white flesh
cleaned. Her figure was exquisite,
and seemed to have been nodded
within this creation of a genius. She
approached me with hand extended,
her smile a witching thing.

Commerce Of China.

The speculation in rubber compa-
MES during 1909 and a portion of 1910
absorbed about $13,O0O,000 of Chinese
capital of the Shanghai Stock Elk
change, and other large amounts
were paid for shares in London com.
panies. Speculation in opium grew
with the dominion of supplies and tied
up more capital. Money was scarce
everywhere and many failures were
reported.
Despite these adverse conditions the
net value of the direct foreign trade
of the empire in 1910 was S550,578,-
339, exceeding the total of 1909 (the
highest hitherto recorded) by $751;
390,446. This growth was shared by
both imports and exports. Net for
eign imports amounted to 1902 ,084,-
593, which was an increase of $780,
648,590 over the value for 1909. and
exports aggregated $248,493, TAG, a
gain of S35,741,856. Of this trade the
United States took $21, 068,462 of the
exports and sent $16,181,67O of the
imports.

MADE A THING OF THE PAST
Physical Culture in Schools Has Done
Away With the Old-tine
Shoulder Braces.

Some things Of common necessity
have been passing away without no
ice of their leave taking. Nc infre-
quently, a few years ago, at the break
fast table, the mother of the family,
addressing the putative head of the
household, would say: John, I'm
really disturbed about Jane. She's
growing right up. I've had to take
two tucks out Of her dress" "Humph!
I suppose girls must grow" Yes,
John, but that's not what l mean to
call attention to. She stoops awfully.
In spite of everything say she won't
stand up straight. And there's Billy,
too. He bends over like an old
woman. Those children need should
er braces. The sooner they have them
the better 1t mustn't be put of an
other day"
In that yesterday every drug store
had a supply of shoulder braces
They were advertised in the newspa-
pers in liberal space and there was an
active demand for them Very little
is heard about shoulder braces today,
and boys and girls seem to be grow
ing up straight enough without such
appliances.
The reason for the passing of the
shoulder brace for children will be
recognized as soon as mentioned.
The lack of demand is almost wholly
due to the fact that more attention is
now paid to physical training In our
public schools than was the case
few years ago. The girls are greatly
improved thereby. They walk better
and carry themselves better. AS for
the boys, they are encouraged to en-
gage in athletic exercises which tend
to better them physically and carry
out the old Roman saying of "a sound
mind in sound body"
For the advance that has been made
praise is due to the gymnastic train
ing advocated by large German ele,
ment here for years before it was
given tardy recognition. When the
girls get little older they will slip
into corsets, probably, but even then,
no matter how tight fitting, they have
been so built up physically that they
will not be transformed into hour
glass patterns quite as readily as if
their bodies had not been given pro
per care when young. AS for the boys
they will grow into lusty young man
hood, with bodies fitted to enjoy to
the utmost the keenest outdoor sports
and athletic xercises-Indianapo

LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, dry farming" does NOT
Indicate all that might be implied II
does not mean a system of Irrigation.
but one where all the rain fail and
precipitation is stored up and con.
served in the soil, to be drawn upou
by scientific and sane processes when
II may be required to forward and in.
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as well as in the American
West, there is a portion of the coun-
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues. do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however. has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years, and it is now as
certained that it is not altogether the
number of inches of rain that is es-
sential to the growing of crops, but
its conservation, and that is the
meaning of Dry farming" Dry
Farming" may we'll be applied to dis
tricts where there is a heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton, is not alone the purpose of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas OF splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
Irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tlVes from all parts of the world The
Province of Alberta, and also of Sas-
katchewan, has taken vital interest
in the Congresses which have been
held in the past two Or three years

provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year the Province OF Al

a matter of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City of Lethbridge
which had put up a splendid fight for
it, secured the Congress by a unani-
nous vote. 1t is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg
est yet held and viii be the biggest
convention in the history of Western

Why He Kissed Her.

Daniel J. Shern was reminded of a
story when he read the verdict in the
breach of promise case of a yong
millionaire in New York
L was counsel for the girl in a case
once" said the lawyer, and l thought
we had a good case. One of the
strongest points was the ardent WOO
ing of the defendant We could prove

mitted it.

to embarrass him.

don't take any chances with them.
She has got the beauty and graces Of
all the NEUROLOGICAL goddesses com

everything. If I remember rightly,
those NEUROLOGICAL goddesses were a
pretty bad lot"
With the instructive desire that
Clare had possessed to fly TO his de-
Tense, l now felt myself surging TO
Mrs. Dace's. But I held myself in
leash. Even assuming for the sake
OF argument that I should desire to
make fool of myself over her. what
possible object could she have in en-
couraglng me to such idiocy?'' asked.
He puckered up his mouth and thrust
his hands deep in his pockets.
Well, now, that is one of the funny
things about women. Of course We
don't know much about them, but we
do know this: We know that the only
reason they care for US is because
they can't get anything better. If the
gods came TO earth, the only thing left
for man to do would be to cast him
self like swine into the sea. And
therein Is where we differ from wom-
ankind. Man doesn't want angels;
plain mortal woman-p provided she is
not too plain, of course-is good
enough for him. But inasmuch as she
can't achieve the gods, on this earth
et least, she turns to man as the next
best substitute. Now you are strap
ping young fellow, good looking and
all that, and such men have always
interested women from the beginning
But remember, there are women and
women. Take Glare, for instance
She Is beautiful, too and keeps her
self looking as attractive as possible
in order to make people like her
Yet she is as harmless as a butter
fly. Some others aren't You ought
to know something of the species be-
fore you pick up thing just because
it is gaudy. You might get stung."
Absolutely without information con-
corning her beyond what Bruce him
self had conf1ded in me, half angry
at myself that I should take the
trouble to answer him, nevertheless
yielded to my impulse to defend her
With considerable emphasis I told him
that I should refuse to believe any in
