other child and rather than bring 1t

to kill herself.

who is doctor, minister, nurse, prophet
and evangelist. heard of the wornan's

HOLIDAYING IN
THE WINTER
AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MONEY
SPENT BY WESTERN cANADl-
ANS IN WINTER SEAsoN.

"An unusually large number Of
Western Canada people are leaving
or preparing to leave to spend the
Winter in California"
The above item OF news was clip
ped from a Western Canada paper
early in December. In the same paper
were items of news conveying the In
telligence that hundreds of Western
Canadians were also taking a trip
abroad, spending the Christmas sea-
son 'at home," as they yet term the
old land. The Scandinavian element
participated largely in the holiday
business of the railroads and the
steamships, but they all had return
tickets. Early in December the east
bound trains and boats were loaded,
and an estimate furnished by the rail-
road people gave upwards Of twelve
thousand as the number who would
mako the Christmas holiday visit
abroad. This does not mean that these
people are leaving to avoid the cold
ness Of the winter, nor for any cli-
matte conditions whatever. They
have come out to Canada and have
done so we'll that they can afford the
hundred and fifty or two hundred dol
lars or more that It takes to carry
them across and back. When they
came to Canada they did not have
that much money all told. but now
they are wealthy and on their return
will bring some Of their friends with
them.
Then there are those, too, who on
their wheat farms have made sufn-
cient money that they can afford to
take holiday, and what better winter
holidaying ground could they have
than California? How many in other
farming districts of the continent
could afford the money and the time
that these people can?-Advertise-
ment.

tho question for her to bother him
about trifes, much as she needed
them. She would have to live in the

How patient she had been during all

brought the color back to her cheek
and the sparkle into her eye; yet he
was sure that behind this apparent

thing save his own impulses. While
he thought he was pleasing her each

in fact a nail added to he:' crucifixion,

While he was gone she remained
