MORTON fREWEN WANTS A FISH
 M ON 0 P 0L '
(Prince Rupert Newsl

The following Is an excerpt from 6 recent issue of the Cold Storage and Produce Review" Mir. Moreton Ere wen is we'll known in this city. and his name has been mentioned in connect. ion with the clearing of the land i'm mediately across the harbor
 Mir Moreton Frewen writing from Sussex to the London Daily Telegraph confesses to be one of those who see in cold storage salvation from food shortage, and he emphacizes this also with regard to fish supply. The sit uation. he says. points to the neces- sity of cold storage plants in every town of 10000 souls. He touches upon Canada's vast fishery resources. and instances that at the terminal port of Prince Rupert the receipts of salmon for the first % days of September last were over 5000 tons and of hslibut 1867 tons, valued at the local cold stores at e6.95o. He adds: "A TerS shapely spring salmon weighing 4 lbs. was forwarded from Prince Ru- pert by Nr. Peter Wallace to Nessfa- Spiers and Pond. and vas son. exhibit ion in their Lndgate Hill estabfishmeK. These fish. were freiehts at all normal can be delivered. iced. 6otsffo7eA.- for
 I'd. lb.. in London. and. although they do not compare in quality with our own Salmo salar. are still an excellent food ,fisll." -A -
 Many may not agree With Mfr. Ire wens dictum that the nationalizatlon of the Empires fishetieA is desirable. He argues that the daily receipts of fish at Prince Rupert. the central port for the British Columbia fisheries, Is already some $50 tons. chiefly halibot and salmon. and If the State would of. fer to pay present prices. namely 4d. per lb.. for haiibut, and Sd. for salmon, and would arrogate to itself monop- oly. with these as the maximum pfc es. t would be easy With this adver- tisement of an unlimited cash.demand, to Secure a full trainload-a thousand tons daily-at that one ports
 The correspondent states that he has ascertained that rail and steam ship rate of Id. per lb, from Prince Rupert fia Montreal to Liverpool, would be liberal, indeed generous. f through it's agencies in every small town Great Britain distributed such fish supplies at a profit of Id. Der lb, it might in a short time secure rent from it's vast ocean pasture as twenty to thirty millions a year on a consumption of ozs. per day.

neglected looking little boys of about
six and eight years respectively stand
ing very close to the counter and look

mOnicons, when suddenly one of the
young saleswomen turned sharply
around and in a loud voice said, "Now,
then, if you two boys don't get away
from here at once I'll call the floor
walker and have you arrested" At the
time this sudden attack was made upon
these poor little waits l was holding
in my hands two of these anne mu-
steal Instruments, trying to decide
which of the two kinds I would take.
The larger one of the boys looked up
at me with a frightened look, as if to
say, "Oh, we didn't mean to steal any
thing" when l said, Boys, would you
each like one of these harmonicons?"
They said nothing, but the look of sur

"A Visit From,
St. Nicholas %
THAT is tho best known poem In

WHEAT is the best known poem in
gy," nor THE Song of the
Shirt" nor "The Raven" but "The
Night Before Christmas" The author
S not so well known as his poem.
One recent Christmas the name IF
Clement Clarke Moore was honored as
leyer before. Above his grave in the
chapel of Holy Trinity cemetery, New
York, the choir boys sang carols on the
light before Christmas, and a service
Of light was held. This beautiful cere-
monial starts with a procession of
to~rchbearers whose torches are kindled
from the leaders flame, and as the line
winds through the graveyard the fire
is passed back from one to another I'M
i'll the lights grow in number and dis
pei the surrounding darkness.
The father of Clement Clarke Moore
was nee the bishop of New York.
1.-THE Night Before Christmas was
published originally without the au
thor's knowledge in the Troy Sentinel
two days before Christmas, 1923.
Moore had written it the preceding
Christmas just for the delight of his
own children, but it's circulation Slip
ped beyond the family circle, and an
unknown friend sent it for publication.
The Sentinel readers paid no attention
to it, and it passed without comment
until seven years later, when the same
paper reprinted it. The second recep-
ton was very different from the first.
"A Visit From st. Nicholas" as it was
then entitled, was copied broadcast,
and its author awoke to find his work,
if not himself, famous.
Although Clement Clarke Moore was
educated for the ministry, he never
took orders. For the greater part of
his life he was identified with the New
York General Theological seminary,
being professor of Biblical learning
and Greek and later of oriental lam
guages.
Clement Moore's family life had many
sorrows. His wife died at the early
age of thirty-fve, and the two little
daughters, for whom he wrote 1.-THE
Night Before Christmas" both died in
their childhood. His son and name
sake lived to the age of sixty-eight and
is buried in the family plot.
When "The Night Before Christmas"
was first published in the Troy Senti-
mel the editor wrote:

Oh, Christmas is a happy time,

And all the W0rld looks bright
And Christmas is a solemn time,
For back long, long ago,

But not alone at Christmas time
Is happiness and cheer,
For he pho really LOVES the Lord

What the
Christmas
Waits" Sing

CANTA CLAUS being about to de-
- sert the city streets for his annual
reindeer ride over the roofs, the
"waits" prepare to sing their centuries
old carols.
In several American cities has been
revived the beautiful old custom of the
"waits" going about from house to
house singing the familiar old songs.
Light the Christmas candles in your
window if you want them to stop be-
fore your home!
God rest you merry, gentlemen; let
nothing you diSmdy-
they will surely sing that, perhaps the
best known of oil old English carols.
And this too:
Hdrbi The herald angels sing,
Glory to the neOborn king.
And, of course, 80 Little Town of
Bethlehem"
Perhaps, too, they will sing what is
said to be the earliest known Christ
mas carol, dating from the Anglo-Nor-
uldu udyS VI tue tulTleeuln Century,
which begins:
LordlingS, listen to our lay
We haze come from far drody
To seek Christmas.
In this mansion aUe are told
He his yearly feaSts doth hold;
IT'S todGyi
May jog come from God above
To all those Who Christmas love.
This carol ends with the toast of
those days:
Here, then, l bid you all wassail,
cursed be he who will not say drink
hail." Wassail" meaning your health
and "drinkhail" being the usual and
courteous acknowledgment.
One of the best known of all the old
carols, although not one of the oldest,
was written by Nahum Tate in 1903
and is called the "Song of the Angels"
1t begins:
While shepherds matched their focks
By night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came do1Dn
And glory shone around.

aims ancient holly figures. "Then

SUFFRAGISTS TO
PICKET WHITE HOUSE
MILD MIliTANCY BEGUN BY THE
WOMEN AFTER CALL ON
PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Woman
,uffragists, after another futile appeal
to President Wilson Tuesday for his
support of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment, announced plans for re-
taliation by picketing the White House
grounds with silent sentinels." Their
purpose is TO make it impossible for
the President to enter or leave the
White House without encountering a
sentinel bearing some device pleading
the suffrage cause.
The move was acknowledged to be
step in the new policy Of mild mill
fancy which began with the coup in
the house gallery on December 6,
when party of sufragists unfurled a
.otes for women banner while the
President was making his opening ad-
dress.
What the White House authorities
will do about the pickets the suffra
lists intend to leave for development.
After the women had their audience
Tuesday they returned to headquar

,ormed their new plans and held q
meeting pledging $4,000 for the silent

VITALITY.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 10.-The vitality
shown by Colonel William F. Cody
Buffalo Bill, said by his physician to

amazement to his medical attendant
and members of the family at the bed

who has been in constant attendance,
the noted scout gained strength dur
ing the day, although the heart action
was very weak and digestive functions
had ceased. Early, last night it was
said he had been sleeping quietly for
two hours.
Colonel Cody was breathing spas
medically, DR.. East said, which was
considered a grave symptom. At inter
vale during the day when the patient
rallied, the physician said, he was
