PAPER FROM new ZEALAND

The men in the Irvine shop find all sorts
of things in the hemp bales that come from
foreign lands, but last week they ran across
their most interesting fnd-a paper from
New Zealand.
The paper is printed at Christchurch,
New Zealand, and is called the Canterbury
Times and is dated Wednesday, November
6, 1912. 1t consists of 78 hve-column
pages, set in eight-point and is weekly
publication. The paper is put out in
magazine form with saddle back stitch and
has red cover. The cover pages are given
over entirely to advertisements, while the
s'innards' are well supplied with the mon
ey producers. 1t was established in 1865.
Sixteen pages are devoted to racing
scenes at the spring meet of the Yelling
ton Racing Club. The rest of the paper
is made up of news from all over the
world, interspersed with a few serial and
short stories.
One article, 'New Zealand Flax, will
be reproduced in the Mirror in a few
weeks. This is the history of flax with a
romance attached. a II in all the Canter-
bury Times is the best English paper that
we have ever been fortunate enough to see.
The paper was placed in the hemp bale
by Mr.. H. A. Richards, of Waimangaroo,
Westport, N. T., and he sends his best
wishes to the finder of the paper. The
date he placed on the paper shows that il
left his hands on November %, 1912; al
most year ago.

WHATS THE USE?

What's the use of crying, anyhow
Better keep smiling; do it now!
Tears are only raindrops joy will chase
away;
Throw the window wide and let the SUM-
shine play.
There no good in crying when alrs said
and done;
Laughing's just as easy, and it's lot more
fun.
What's the use Of frowning, anyway
Try your hand at loving, just today.
Browns are only shadows; love is light
divine:
Lift the curtain, quick! and let the love-
light shine.
There no good in frowning, when all's
said and done:
Loving's so much sweeter; and it's lot
more fun.

FATHER DOYLE GIVEN FAREWELL.

Father Doyle, who has been appointed
to the parish at Lake Benton, was given a
farewell testimonial Thursday evening, at
Saltwater. The Saltwater Gazette has the
following to say of Father Doyle:
''Rev. Andrew Doyle, who has been as
sistant priest of St. Michael's parish for six
years was given a farewell testimonial
Thursday night at Auditorium hall. The
audience of men and women, young and
old, was large and great many things
were said in praise and commentator of
the prelate.
ssFather Doyle, with some others, was
escorted to Auditorium hall by the St. Mi
chael's drum and fife corps of twenty men,
bers. That hall was selected for the fare
we'll reception because it has been there that
the societies of young men of the parish
have often met for basketball and other
amusements and recreations.
'sThe affair was under the auspices of the
societies of young men, the Hibernians,
Knights of Columbus and cadets of the
parish. Judge H. H. Gillen presided and
at intervals made statements concerning the
great work Father Doyle has done in the
city since he came here as assistant priest.
The organization of the societies of young
men and the resulting good were specialized.
Judge Gillen said that three pastors of Prot
estant churches in this city had told him
that they realized what Father Doyle has
done among the young men in promoting
Temperance and preventing the use of cigar
cites and Copenhagen snuff, and that they
were sorry he is to leave the city.
''Rev. Charles Corcoran spoke in praise of
the assistance Father Doyle had been to
him in the parish and declared that he has
a prospective bright future.
'tJames w. Foley declared that much in
praise may be said of Father Doyle as a
devout man and of his work in the city and
that there was no one to offer a criticism.
He declared that while Saltwater regrets to
see him go, yet it is probably fine thing
for Lake Benton, as he is sure that he will
put that small place upon the map.
CATER eulogizing the work of Father
Doyle and speaking of what he had done
for the several organizations of boys and
young men, Judge Gilen handed the pre-
late silver loving cup, the gift of the
young men.
Father Doyle in response to the ex-
pressions of esteem and regret said that it
was difficult position for him to be in
and to make reply to the kind expressions.
He declared his deep appreciation of the
kindness of the people. He declared that
he regrets leaving the city because of the
pleasant associations. He was greeted with
applause when he said that he will come
back to visit occasionally. He said that he
will always keep in mind the young men
and other good people of Saltwater. He
expressed his gratitude for the gift of the
loving cup and for other tokens of es-
TEEN.
During Father Doyle's stay in Saltwater
he has made friends with every inmate in

AUDITORIUM STAGE COMPLETED

Saturday afternoon witnessed the COM
pletion of the scenic work on the auditor
ium stage. The scenery consists of wood,
Gothic church, fancy and plain scenes.
Sometime ago the Twin City Scenic Co.
received the contract for the furnishing of
scenery, etc., for the auditorium stage and
work has been in progress ever since the
contract was let.
The middle of the past week a car load
of scenery was received and Mr.. Frank
Nelson, of the Scenery company, at once
proceeded to install same. The institution
heads purchased four scenes with fancy Dor
ders, etc., to match; and moving picture

proof; in fact, the entire auditorium is fire.
proof
To describe each scenery separate and do
them Justice would be a hard matter, as
they are every one first class. The wood
scene can not be beaten in any theatre in
the country with the same size stage as the
one here.
The street scene drop is up-to-the-m min
ute in every detail. The streets appearing
to run in the same manner as the streets at
the Flat Iron building in New York.
The lighting of the auditorium is fine.
There are nine cluster lights in the center
of the ceiling, with six lights of 100 kilo-
watts to the cluster. Then there are "a
double wall lights of about 80 kilowats.
Curtains will soon be here for the windows,
making it possible to give moving picture
shows in the day time.
AS the stage now stands it has cost in
the neighborhood of ST, 800. This is none
too much to pay for the stage settings, as
they will last for all time.

and it is not known just how it happened,
whether Mr.. Raymo got tangled up with
his feet or his feet got tangled up with him.
AS it were there was an awful spill, and if
it had not been for the sink at the end of
gallery three, Mr.. Raymo would have
been sliding yet. After picking himself
up he looked at the place where he had
been standing and then down at his fancy
vest and remarked that the vest had some
close call that time. The bridge was ex-
amined to see what damage had been done,
and it is claimed that the bridge is some
strong to withstand such shock. Mr..

experience, as he was seen speeding to-
wards Saltwater behind that fast roadster
