never expecting to return to that vi
entity, they have no conjunction in
bidding such sweethearts a hasty,
careless farewell. They depart with
out a qualm of conscience, though
they know full well that there are
hearts which grseye to death over
misplaced Affection broken love
dream.
Yet such men will go to new places,
meet other pretty women and enact
the same role over again, until half
a score or more wrecked lives should
awaken their conscience to pity If not
remorse. If one woman happens to
pay man back in his own coin, jilt
him when he is thoroughly in love
with her, he cries out bitterly that she
is heartless; that, soon or late, pun
ishment will be melted out to her for
drawing him on to love her when she
knew she did not,reciprocate his ten
der sentiments.
There's another set of men whose
conscience must smite them--those
who desert wives and little children
for some pretty, giriish face that fits
like a will-o' the-wisp across their
paths and fascinates them.
He throws dull care to the winds
and tries to be happy. But conscience
will not down. Do as he will, the
voices of his children ring in his ears.
He sees them in his dreams standing
mutely by his couch, and hears their
piteous cries throughout the night,
hearing them plead with him to come
back to their desolate hearth. They
want him, they need him, they still
love him.
The keen lash of conscience has
brought many a man back to heart
broken wife and little ones. Though
the whole world apart the man who
has conscience in him will yearn for
reconciliation Such men know wife
and children cannot, will not, forget
them 1t is sweet to tie heart of the
men who has gone wrong to know that
they miss him at home Like a mag
net it draws him back to them sooner
or later. The man with conscience
can reform. The man who is without
it-neyer.

WASTED WEALTH OF COUNTRY
criminateIy Slaughtered Through
out Labrador.

The fish, flesh and fowl of Labrador,
writes Dr. Grenfell in the Wide World,
have been exploited to the last degree,
and no semitic or practical effort has
been made for their protection or re-
Mobilization. Our auks, curlew, ducks
and many other birds have become
either extinct or dangerously depict
ed. Our deer, owing to forest fires
caused by carelessness and unrestrict-
ed slaughter by Indians, as well as
white settlers, have so far diminished
as to bring semi-starvation to doors
where once there was always plenty.
The destruction of seal herds has
brought families once afluent to mis-
cradle poverty. For some reason our
unrivaled herring and mackerel have
left US altogether. The salmon catch
is only shadow of what it once was,
and even the returns of our still val
liable cod fishery show increasing I'M
certainty in quantity and distribution.
The growing number Of trappers, the
lack of protection, or the destruction
OF their food supplies, has made the
annual winter fur hunt insufficient to
maintain in comfort all who prosecute
it, and that in spite OF the immense
increase in the price of pelts. Seals

and whales are rapidly approaching
similar fate.
No mines are yet opened; &c timber
properties yet developed, and no use
is made of our unlimited water power.
Only handful of visitors come to EN-.
joy the wild scenery, the unique
natural conditions, and the invigorat.
ing atmosphere, though our fjords
rival those of Norway, and have the
additional attraction of being virgin
and UNEMPLOYED. No charting has been
done and at that time, as already stat.
ed, there was not one light on the
coast from the straits Of Belle isle
to Hudson's bay to render navigation
safe. 1t is little to be wondered at II
adequate tourist steamers do not ply
in our waters In fact, Labrador Is In
that melancholy stage of evolution
that must inevitably overtake every
country until attention is turned to
the development of industries that
man does not share with the tiger
and the shark.

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use Of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cof-
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
my son was for years troubled with
his eyes. he tried several kinds OF
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee, as we all
did. and finally quit IT and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
Il was always fond of tea and cofee
and finally became 90 nervous l could
hardly sit still long enough to eat
meal. My heart was In such com
dition I thought / might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and was almost desperate. II was
about this time we decided to quit cof-
fee and use Postum, and have used 1t
ever since. I am In perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better in my life.
Postum has been great blessing
to US all. particularly to my son and
myself"

He danced, I say, right we'll,
With emphasis, and also with good

He danced without theatrical pretense;
Not a ballet master in the van
OF his drilled nymphs, but like gentle

It is usually the young rnatron who
is quickest to pick up a new fad. She
who has a graceful form, is good to
look upon, hailed the new dance with
delight. The steadygoing husband,
who loved his pipe, his easy chair,
slippers and paper after dinner, was
coaxed and tormented into taking his
wife to the places where the mad,
merry tango was capturing and sway
ing the senses Of the people. The
most sedate of men soon fall under
the glamour Of its SPELL When the
quiet husband looks round and sees
staid old business acquainrances with
lads and lasses grown, cavorting over
the waxed floor somehow his toes fair

Just for a lark. 1t doesn't take the
average man long to pick up the step
after he has looked and listened, prac-
tised bit on the sly.
There are always more young wom-
en- than men. Dancing partners are a
boon to the girls. He doesn't select
the tinid, reserved young creature
for his first attempt, but rather the
pretty girl with great deal of as
surance. who can put him through the
PAGES.
The man soon gets the tango craze
quite as severely as do his friends.
He is apt to choose the same reliant
girl in whose step he has confidence.

i5ie gets quickly back to her senses.

THE MAN HER FAMILY DIS.
PROVES or.

What no mortal hand could make
No mortal power can ever break;
What words g Vows could never do
NO words or vows could make untrue:
Because too sacred and divine
For other eyes save thine and mine
Quite as soon as young man be-
gins to show preference for girl,
passing his spare evenings at her
home. her family is sure to - divided
in their opinion concerning him. 1t
isn't every lover who has smooth sail
ing.
If he dresses too fashionably on
small GALAXY, if he's in a business shat
shows no prospect of raise in the flu
ture, II he is of family in modest cir
cumstances. requiring him to contrib
ute to their needs-no matter how
wholesouled he is or what qualities
he possesses-the girls folks decide
she had better not encourage him un-
til she has met others whom they
would not hesitate to approve OF.
The young man is ha,npered in his
wooing from the start Her family
can make it agreeable or mighty un-
pleasant for him. Mothers usually IA
vor nice young man. The fact that
he loves her daughter opens the way
to a mothers heart He can count
upon her loyalty to him. Fathers for
get that they were young themselves;
that the winning of the maidens Of
their choice meant everything to them.
They dash cold water upon the ardor-
of their daughters suitor if he does
not seem to be in fair way of max
ing a success of his life financially
and nip the love affair in the bud.
The girl may weep. and her mother
may plead for her, but he is obdurate.
The upshot IS she is Obliged to give
him up. 1t is hard for a young man
to be dismissed summary for no sufi-
cient reason. He pulls himself togetn-
er. 1t fires his ambition and whatever
grit he has in him. He believes if he
had wealth he would have been court
ed instead of turned down by her
family
In time he finds another sweetheart,
whose family raise no insurmountable
barrier and he weds The girl who
first stirred his admiration somehow
finds other beaux. But there's al.
ways something about each one that
her family disapproves Of. The years
do not stand still with her. The end
is. she usually marries Q. man who has
all the faults. They have to make
the best of It,
Love should be the one and only
consideration of marriage. The lover
and his lass are the best and only
ones who should decide that matter.
Reasonable parents should not disap-
prove, without excellent reason. A dis
appointed love affair wrecks many a
life that would otherwise have been
brilliant, happy and with hearts salts
fed in joyful union.
