community needs US. We need the in
spiratlon that comes from being linked
with worthy cause, we need the in
spiraton that comes from knowing
that we are material parts, though in
a small way, of the organization of our
country. This COLLECTIVELY will make
us better citizens and truer patriots.
Our city has long had an excellent
class of merchants. But the talent for
manufacturing has not been fully de-
velopeo among us. 1t is but recently
that the talent for manufacturing has
really shown itself, but that too now
is developing and our city has manu-
featuring institutions and men engaged
in the industries that rightly makes
us feel proud of the successes attained.
And If the just reward for having done
well, be to have more to do, then we
may with confidence look to the future
with the firm conviction that the man.
u,acturers of our city will increase in
number and the products in variety
and the volume in quantity. We shall
go forward. The fresh winds from the
deep blue inland sea will put the spirit
of the Crest Manitou into our hearts,
and aided Icy the strong public spirit of
our community our youths shall grow
to be useful men and women, filed not
with the spirit of 81 will do you" but
with the spirit of IL will do right"
Thus our first and foremost product
shall be good citizens, and all other
good things shall be ours.
If this organization will serve as a
common meeting place for the discus
sion of matters in general etrecting the
public welfare, place where the spir-
it of tolerance prevails, where the
grasping hand of personal advantage
is absent, where the aim always is to
advance the collective welfare, then
we shall here have forum that will
develop true democracy and we may
hope that some day the good fame of
our people and the reputation of our
products may spread far and wide not
50 much from numbers and quantity
but by reason OF quality and truth.

So far as proposals of marriage are
concerned, in New Guinea 1t is always

consider it beneath their dignity to no.
dee women, much less to make over
lures of marriage. consequently, the
proposing is left to the women to do.
When the ebony belle falls In love
with q man she sends piece of string
to his sister, or, If he has no sister,
to his mother. or another of his lady
relatives.
Then the lady who receives the
string tells the dusky brave that the
particular damsel is in love with him.
No counting follows, however, for 1t Is
considered beneath New Guinea gen
tleman's dignity to waste time In sucs
a pursuit.
If the man thinks he would like to
wed the lady, he meets her alone, and
they decide straight away whether to
marry or drop the idea
In the former case the betrothal is
announced. The man is then branded
on the back with charcoal, while

possible in New Guinea, though IL the

SYNOPSIS.

Adele la Chesnayne, a belle of New
France, is among conspirators at her I'M
cle's house. Cassion. the commissaire,
has enlisted her Uncle Chevet's aid
against La Sale. D'Artigny, La Sales
friend, offers his services as guide to Cas-
sion's party on the journey to the wilder
ness. The uncle informs Adele that he
has betrothed her to Cassion and forbids
aer to see D'Artigny again. In Quebec
Adele visits her friend, Sister Celeste,
who brings D'Artigny to her. She tells
him her story and he vows to release her
from the bargain with Cassion. D'Artig-
ny leaves promising to see her at the
dance. Cassion escorts Adele to the hall.
She meets the governor, La Barre, and
hears him warn the commissaire against
D'Artigny. D'Artigny's ticket to the ball
has been recalled
