Indians Have "Firewater."

When a brewery 600 miles from
civilization vas reported to the Cana
dian royal mounted police at Chipe-
wayan station it seemed Incredible,
for it was said to exist in a country
that ven the map-makers had left
blank. Sergeant Field was sent to
the Ray river country to investigate,
and (says the Wide World Magazine)
he found a happy lot Of Indians
among whom "firewater" was quite as
common as it used to be down in Ken

Slave lake was one long and joyous
spree. A strange white man had sold
the secret of making "irewater" to
the Indians, and they were making q
brew" of potatoes, hops. sugar, and
yeast, which, when allowed to fer
ment, was strong enough to cause in
toxication. During the summer
months the Indians raised potatoes
for this brew, but in scarcely any in

anything for food. =

IF HIS LIFE WERE AN OPEN BOOK

Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad
story,
Weep for the voiceless, who have known

A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy Fame is proud to win them.
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them!
The man who shows no disposition
to indulge in the society of the fair
sex should not be singled out for per-
sistent attention by women.
There is generally a good reason
he has when a man fights shy of mat
rimony. 1t may be his nature to be
polite to the opposite sex, but ii
shouldn't be taken for granted that
courtesy means liking which may lead
to tenderer sentiment.
He may appear to be very lonely
and much in need of woman's sympa.
thy. But appearances in such cases
may be deceptive. Instead of being
bachelor, as every one supposes, he
may be widower, with large fam.
lily of children, whom n.s mother, in
far-off city, is aiding him to care for.
His one thought may be to make
name and fortune for his motherless
brood. He may be firm in his ayowed
intention never to entertain the
thought of taking wife until his
children are educated, grown up mar
ried and in homes of their own.
Then, again, many a bachelor may
have had heart ENHANCEMENT in his
early youth which causes him to for.
swear marriage for all time to come.
Or he may have habits, such as an
ungovernable temper, which he knows
that no woman would put up with for,
long, or love of drink. If every mans
life was an open book that all might
read, men who seem so desirable
might be Stunned, while others, who
seem to possess all the faults in the
calendar, might be considered worthy
of reforming aye, jewels in the rough.
Even man to whom a woman is
welded may not be just what she
imagines him. He may be supporting
dependent relatives whom he has
never mentioned to his wife and of
whom the world knows not.
II man wishes to close the book
of his past from all prying eyes it is
wisest and best to let him have his
own way. If man is interested in
a woman he will not have to be coaxed
to seek her out; for there is no mag
net on earth as strong as love to bring
two together who are intended for
each other.

are far removed socially from people
of wealth and luxury They can I'M
fold, however, an intimate knowledge
of them that is marvellous. Before
hand, they are able to whisper when
love match is about to blossom into
an engagement. They see the begin
ming and growth of affairs that end
in scandals.
Watching these women and their
ideal lives, as it seems, is the one
joy of these girls. The manner in
which they touch elbows with these
rich women is somewhat unique. Dur
ing the day, these young women work
at their allotted tasks, as though life
contained nothing else for them.
When the closing hour comes they
hurry eagerly from their labors to
their lonely hall bedrooms, blithe as
the birds that twitter outside their
windows Usually two young women
share their room together They are
in cramped quarters; must take turns
in cooking their frugal suppers over
the oil stove. If there are pleasures
ahead they don't mind the hardships.
Girls are clever with their fingers,
and help one another to fashion simply
out of odds and ends their evening
gowns that would vie with a million
aires wife's sumptuous robe, and not
look out of place by comparison.
Downing their evening gowns,
throwing scarfs round their shoulders,
the girls scurry eagerly forth. To the
cheap picture shows for an evenings
amusement? Oh, no. A dark skirt
ana plain shirtwaist would answer
for going there; their attire would
not be closely observed. On past the
moving picture places they go; their
destination being one of the grand
hotels. The drawing room and lob
bies are free to all guests who look
to the manner born. They loiter in the
beautiful lobby for while; sitting on
the rich divans they are so near the
favorite of fortune they could reach
forth their hands and touch their
robes. They drink in their floating
bits of conversations; feast their eyes
on their dazzling gems, inhale the
exotic perfume from the rare flowers
they wear. Like the tabled Cinder-
ella of legend, these girls seemingly
are transported into different world.
The dreary hall bedroom fades away
from their memories. In it's place
are marble halls, strains of sweetest
orchestra music.
The rich and the great ebb to and
fro past them. They secure seats
in the magnificent dining room. To
be sure it Is an obscure corner; still
they are part of that rich throng.
The girls order rolls and milk. Eve
ming is spent amidst surroundings of
bright lights, flowers, gayety, happy
laughter, and all that makes life one
grand sweet song When it is over
they slip out, unobserved, retracing
their sters horneward, eagerly chat
ting over all they have seen and
heard They make the rounds of the
great hotels and restaurants. Man
ayers know them: they are unobstru.
sive, quiet girls Usually they are
sorry to refuse them table, but tell
them their tables are all engaged for
the entire evening. Their expenses
are high. They reserve tables for
those who spend money generously.
1t does not take long to make the
rounds; while it lasts these pretty,
innocent girls have their fling in lead
ing double life, as it were. They
are surrounded by hardships in day
time and luxury by night.
