He does the latest dances
 And never seems to tire; His follies, as it chances,
 Are paid for by his sire. Night after night you'll find him Upon the ballroom floor, Where pleasures letters bind him Quite oft till half-past four. No weighty problems vex him, He seldom thinks at all; I'm sure 'twould not perplex him If dire things should befall Just so they'd not prevent him From skipping to and fro; For what Dame Nature meant him I'm sure I do not know.

WINNING $1,000 INCOME.
Saving ~ n Week and buying Mort

This method of acquiring an income of
sl0O year by saving S. week is vouch-
ed for by the American Bankers assoc
citation and described in the January
American Magazine
Suppose a man earning S2} a week went
to the American Bankers association to
find out about their plan to give him an
income Of $1,000 a year. When he told
them he could save s. a week they would
send him to a savings bank.
He would place his s. and get n pass
book At the end of six months he would
be credited with $3.50. BY the end of the
year he would have go, by depositing

after six months.
At this very interesting time. he would
consult the cashier of the savings bank
and tell him that he wished to draw $1,000
and invest II in a safe real estate mort
gage paying six per cent. interest The
cashier would tell him at once where to
go 20 get the investment and just how
to make IT,
Having made the investment, at the end
OF the fourth year of his saving. the
young man would look forward to saving,
the first six months OF the fifth year. the
following: First, OF course, his regular
weekly deposit Of s., or $780, second. the
six months interest at four per cent. on
e123.S9 (the amount left after he had
drawn out $1,000. which would amount
to s2.46; third, the interest at six per
cent, earned by his real estate mortgage.
or $50 This would make a total Of sl62.ii.
added to the sl23 % left in the bank after
drawing out the $1,000 and the total
would amount to $685. BY the end Of
the nth year. this sum would have in
creased TO 1852 Os-almost half enough to
buy another 5000 mortgage with.
The tracing of the growth Of this mans
savings would prove very fascinating
reading. but It Is too lengthy for these
columns At any rate, he would be able
to buy his second $1,000 mortgage at the
end of the seventh year. After this. the
interest earnings ON his bank deposits
and on his two mortgages would amount
to more than half of his weekly saving
from his salary.
IT would not be very long after this
before he would arrive at the point where
he could buy the $1,000 mortgages with
greater frequency. If he continued the
plan for ~ years he would own a mort
cages and have a bank account amount
ing to 1851 20. BY using the aCcumulate ted
interest on these two, together with the
regular S weekly saving. he would at
this time be able to buy a $1,000 mortga &c
every six months.
BY this time he would have reached his
47th year. provided he started saving when
he was %. Suppose he continued until
he was 80 years Of age At this time. he
would own $1,000 in six per cent mort
cages and have a bank account amount

DELICATE OPERATION.

Paul Chamberlain. the l3-year-old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Maurice Chamberlain
Of Dummerston. underwent a delicate
operation the other day. The boy was
injured about three months ago when
he was struck Just below the right eye
by some foreign substance discharged
from an anvil fired by boys during n
corn roast celebration. An incision was
made Just below the lower eyeid, ex-
tending under the eyeball and coming
out into the throat two inches back OF
the palate. Several pieces OF fractured
bone were removed. together with small
stones. two Of which were about the size
Of split pea, also a piece of battered
lead somewhat larger than a buckshot.
1t is thought the stone entered the eyeld
intact and became broken when it passed
through the bone.

COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

They're coming home for Christmas
the boys and girls again
The music Of their laughter is the
merriest refrain
The old folks are so happy their tears
they can't restrain
Since the children are coming home
for Christmas
From the cold heart Of the city back
to the dear old farm
They always come at Christmas time
to feel the Christmas charm,
And mother waits to hug 'em and to
shield 'em from all harm
When the children are coming home
for Christmas
Although the children" really are not
children any more
Mother always calls 'em that, just as she
did before
They sought the citys lures and lights
in those sweet DAYS of yore
Oh, the children are coming home
for Christmas.
There's hustle and there's hustle as the
old home seems to wake
From It's usual lethargy and noises seem
to shake
The very rafters OF the place as mother
starts to bake
For the children coming home at
Christmas.
From far and near they gather round
the happy log fires glow
And NAV and paw seem younger though
their hair is white as snow
And their childrens children hang their
little stockings in a row
When they're going back to grand
mas for Christmas.

OFF GALI.IPOLI PENINSULA,

The British have abandoned the
,atte1npt to force the Dardanelles The
allies claim they walked off the Gallipoli
,peninsula. The Germans claim they
were pushed. The important thing is
that the British have given up this i'll
;fated project Our readers will recall
that we early emphasized the foolhard-
.iness of attempting to force the Oar
<tlanelles with warships without CO.
separating land force to prevent the
Turks from repairing during the night
the damage wrought by bombardment
during the day. That mistake was
:3emedied when too late.
Eof Notifications lengthwlse cost the
British tremendous loss. In fact,
Tardanelles spells the most costly
blunder Of the entire war. The British
alone lost 100000 men in various ways,
together with six batteshps and lesser
craft without number. while the French
loss was considerable
& 1t is believed the British force retir-
ing from the Dardaneles region will go
to the Balkan region, although there are
various othar directions in which their
services will be urgently needed, and
direction of both Egypt and India.

been installed at each of the several
tables and permit the guests to commu-

without suffering delay. The activities
of the mattresses are confined solely to
the serving OF food, To simplify the sys-
