My first is quite strong
 And fierce, you see: Again it is mild
 As mild as can be. It comes cross the land
 With a like roar. It rattles and bangs
 The easements and door. My second does stand
 By the river and stream: Iris built of stout lum mber, With many a beam; Then men who work in it Are white like the sand: They fix food for people In every known land. My two swings about
 In a land cross the sea. And often we see it
 In this great country. Iris moved by my first,
 Be it fast, be it slow; But always a-whirling
 About it does go.

NAUGHTY DICK

EN TITLE DICK BRAY hid safely away AA In nook by the chimney place: He wanted to know how St. Nick got So he hid him alf-all but his face. When St. NicA did appear. he cried,
 "Oh, I tsar There's curious lad hereabout; Therefore I'll not stay, but shall go
 on my way!" And he turned to the chimney and
 went out. So little Dick Bray got no presents
 that day. He had acted so naughty, you see: And St. Nick served him right on
 that very cold night, With me l am sure you'll agree.

~ HkOUGH the clouds, as light al A air,
 V1 Goes old Santa everywhere. Down the chimney he does creep While the little folk do sleep. Stockings large and stockings smallt Good old Santa fills them all. Such a load of lovely toys Takes he to the girls and boys. For at Christmas time each year Santa always does appear,
 Bringing peace and love on earth With much happiness and mirth.

Jim had been far from good boy
during the day and toward nightfall
he realized the fact fully. Being well
acquainted with the workings of fam
lily discipline he essayed a little d.
plomacy.
"Shall you tell father about me?"
he inquired of his mother
Certainly shall tell him." respond
ed his mother, with sorrowful firm
ness.
Shall you tell him before dinner or
after dinner?" asked the culprit.
After dinner" was the announce

Couldn't you do that much for me.

STONE MOVED By THE SUN
Immense Mass Of Granite In Ohio
Cemetery Undersoes Curious
Revolutions.

An interesting object is to be seen
in cemetery of Ohio-a large gram
ite stone weighing two tons, in the
shape of ball. which is gradually
turning on Its axis. During the last
five years. 80 1t is said. this ball has
turned fraction over 13 inches.
When the ball was placed in position
an unpublished spot six inches In diam
eter was purposely left in the socket
Of the pedestal whereon 1t rested. A
little later 1t was noted with astonish-
ment that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side OF the monu-
ment. This curious revolution Of the
polished ball. to lift which would re-
Quire large derrick, is supposed to
be due to the SUMS action. in the fol-
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly In the shade.
does not expand to the same extent.
thus causing the ball gradually to
shift its position by turning.

extended from Minnesota, across Ontario. to Lab
rador. Nobody but geologists make the state
ment with confidence. They say these noun
tains- were the oldest mountains the conti-
nent; that they were old when the Rockies were
yet Uniformed; that the glacial drift and the dis
fntegrating effects Of untold millions of years
OF heat and cold have worn them away until only
the roots" remain; and they point to the roots
as proof Of their theory. '1'f
The roots there Anybody can see them
Some of them are below the surface. some
above. Over most OF the roots few feet
of earth, but. here and there, huge shoulder Of
rock thrusts itself above the surface; here and
there great ledge pows its way through the
forests and then disappears In the marsh; and
nowhere can one dig far without coming to rock.
singular incident explains. perhaps. why
these mountain roots were not permitted to re-
main untouched for another hundred million
year,. The incident had its inspiration in poll
TICS The Ontario government felt that 1t was
losing strength with the farmers. Wise men in
the ministry looked around to what could be
done. The farmers in the clay belt had been
clamoring for railroad The ministry decided
that 1t would be good politics to give to them.
So 1t was decided to build railroad from North
bay on the shores Of Lake Nipssng, to connect
with the great transcontnental line, under
struction farther north.
1t while this railroad was building that

which had produced almost no silver, to produce
IL per cent Of the worlds output. Two men, in
six days, trundled out $4,000 worth Of silver
with wheelbarrow. AS indirect result Sud
bury became the worlds chief producer Of nickel.
All of which seemed to be against the rules
made and provided by nature. Canada had never
been known silver country. Near Cobalt
there nothing the surface to indicate that
silver might be But. eye had seen below
the surface. No mind had dreamed of the gold
and silver filled roots Of worn-on mountains. An
explanation was required-and geolog1sts who ex-
amined the formations gave 1t.
The geological assurance that the entire re-
gion might be sprinkled with precious metals
quickly caused the country around Cobalt to be
prospected. But prospecting in forest-covered
marshes does not proceed rapidly. Not until the
summer Of 1909 did prospectors push $50 miles

For several weeks they prospected. hrst to the

to the west, in Tisdale township. They found
gold and staked some claims. But the great

Perhaps the most remarkable story however.
that hiss come out of the Porcupine was told by
named "Bl" Woodney.
A mining man whom believe to be reliable told
me that Bill came to him one day and showed him

Then bill" told his story.
He said the quartz was given to him by widow.
Her husband had been accidentally killed a short
time before she gave 1t to him. The widow told
him that the quartz came from vein near Lake
Abtibi, frigid sheet Of water up toward Hudson's
bay 300 miles north Of Cobalt. Her husband and
two other whom she named had found the
vein. They had not staked their claims and regis
