1 had been represented as saying my

impression that Neil and 1 were not

but none the less plain. 1t spoke of
a handsome widow" of NeiPs ac-
quaintance with her; of the fact that
he had been seen with her often. 1t
was a horried article, scurrilous in
its insinuations, yet never saying a
word for which the paper might be
obliged to give satisfaction. From
that time 1 have had a hateful ad-
miration for reporters.
Mr.. Frederick came that afternoon
bringing Mr.. Tearle to look at the
house. 1 asked him in, If he had seen
the Argus. He let me know that he
had and that he would remain and
talk to me about it after Tearle went.
He saw my distress and smiled reas-
suringly.
Tearie was delighted with the
house, and in his rough way so ex-
pressed himself.
My wife couldn't begin to fix up

Turn DEFECTS Into virtues.-2.

Turn Defects Into Virtues.
1t has been said that most OF the
great things in the world have been
done by invalids-that is by people
who had to husband their strength.
and treat their stomachs with respect,
and tighten the burdens on their
hearts, and nurse along the human
machine to keep it going. The point
is that it can be done, and that, in
reality, a chronic complaint generally
adds to ones length of days instead of
cutting them short because II rouses
the fighting spirit in its victim and
makes him or her determined to live
in spite of it. But it all depends on
the individual and his or her spunk
in overcoming a handicap.
Suppose you have a bad temper.
You are irritable and fly into anger
every time anything goes wrong. or
you are crossed, and you say cruel,
and bitter, and insulting things. You
are hard to get along with. II you
have any intelligence at all you must
know that this is going to ruin your
life. You can never get along in
business for the simple reason that
no one is going to take the trouble
to deal with an individual who has to
be handled with gloves. You will
drive customers away. You will make
friction in an office. You will make
enemies instead of friends, and il you
marry you will be curse instead of
blessing to your unfortunate side
partner.
But the very knowledge of your
bad temper should make you the
most amiable and suave person on
earth. 1t should Lake you keep an
iron control over yourself all the time.
Knowing that you are quick of tongue
and poise, and confederation for the
feelings of other people. A bad tenn
per either conquers people, or they
conquer it, and those who do con-
quer it develop in their fight char
acter that places them among the
shining ones of earth.
Suppose a woman is careless and
slovenly. and a bad manager, shall
she go on keeping house like a pig
sty, wasting her husbands money, and
poisoning her children with bad cook
ing? Or shall the knowledge that she
is inclined to sloth and untidiness
turn her into a pattern of neatness,
make her run her days on "a schedule,
and get busy with the cook book?
The woman who is naturally order
ly and industrious can let things slide
sometimes. just as the man who has
no appetite for liquor can take an
occasional drink without danger. but
the woman who was born in a mother
Hubbard wrapper and a boudoir cap.
and with delicatessen store tendency
is like the drunkard. She can never
daily with the temptation of not keep
ing everything up to top notch.
All of which comes to saying that
we can overcome any handicap, IL we
will. The thing is to look our famil-
lar deYel in the fact instead of fgnOr-
ing him, and then fight him with fire.

THE LESSON.
Now let the lesson be learned.
That the tyrant has taught,
Power is joy to be earned,
Not cruelty bought.
He that would rule or would lead
Must triumph by right.
Broken forever the creed
Which glorifies might.
Gaze on the German despairi
Look at the wreck Of their dreamsi
Gone are their citadels fair.
Family their old glory CLEANS!
Can you behold this and doubt
The error Of might as a creedg
Here was force cruel and Stout
What more than this do you need?
This was the land of the Hun,
Builded and fashioned for lust;
Taught was each dutiful on
The the within of the tyrAnt was just.
Never was mention of right
Made in their churches and schools;
Theirs was worship of might.
Might and the monarch who rules.
Bright were the swords of their greed.
Heavy the guns of their hate;
Never an unworthy creed
Had pons so cruel and great,
Never by forces so strong
Were right and its honor assailed:
At the peak of his power, and it failed !
Now let the lesson be learned.
Teach 1t anew to your youth.
Power>js a joy to be earned,
Evil must bow TO the truth,
Force. be IT ever SO strong.
Cannot conquer the soldiers If right
The sword that IS drawn for wrong
Shall ever 70 down IN the fight.

A GENTLEMAN.

Sometimes we forget that there are
a great many Gentlemen in the world.
But there area very great many.
Like everything rare and fine, how

A Gentleman is always silent

CITIZENS TAKE IT UP.

National Association for the Pro-
lection of American Rights in Mexico
was organized in New York in Deem
take concerted action to obtain thru
the United States government protec-
ton for the lives and property of
Americans in Mexico.
At the close of the Diaz regime
there were approximately fifty thou
sand Americans residing in Mexico as
colonists or engaged in a great va
riety of businesses. Thousands of
other American citizens at home had
become interested in various enter
prises representing an aggregate in
vestmcnt of more than billion dollars
in a total of two and a half billions
of foreign investments paying substan-
italy eight-tenths of the total taxes
levied by the Mexican government.
Nearly four hundred Americans
have been killed in Mexico; the ma
jority of the survivors have fled to the
United States. A large portion of Amer
lean property has been destroyed, an
other large portion has been confis-
Gated. leaving but a small part either
wholly idle and unproductive OF oper-
ating at part capacity and under great
difficulties.
In seeking protection for Americans.
says bulletin issued by the organiza-
ton, the association realizes that it
is also rendering an inestimable serv-
ice to the Mexican people who, after
all, are the greatest sufferers from
the chaotic conditions now prevailing.
1t seems self-evident that recognition
in deeds rather than in words by the
Mexican government of it's obligation
to protect the rights of all foreigners,
including Americans, and of it's own
people as well, will be followed by a
further development of the countrys
resources with increased revenues for
the government, establishment OF
its credit and employment for its peo-
pie. many of whom are now starving
The association, it is declared, seeks
to achieve its aims by arousing
organizing and leading a public senti-
ment which will support the United
States government in taking without
further delay whatever steps may be
necessary to obtain that protection
for the lives and property OF Ameri-
cans in Mexico which every govern
ment owes its citizens wherever they
may be. One means to this end will
be to act as a clearing house for that
| information about true conditions il
Mexico which has been lacking. Fact:
will be gathered thru facilities avail
able to its membership and placed al
the disposal of congress, the admin
istration and the public.

To Preserve Eggs.
Water Glass Method-Select a five
gallon crock and clean it thoroly after
which it should be scalded and allowed
to dry.
Heat a quantity of water to the
boiling point, and allow it to cool.
When cool measure out nine quarts
of water, place in the crock, and
add one quart of sodium silicate,
stirring the mixture thoroly. This will
be sufficient to preserve fifteen dozen
eggs, and will serve as a guide for the
quantity needed to preserve larger
numbers of eggs.
The eggs should be placed in the
solution. If sufficient eggs are not
obtainable when the solution is first
made. more eggs may be added from
time to time. Be very careful to al
low at least two inches of the solu-
ton to cover the eggs at all times,
Place the crock containing the pre-
served eggs in a cool, dry place. well
covered to prevent evaporation.
Waxed paper covering the top of the
crock and tied around it will answer
this purpose.

WINNIPEG, Mann, April 9 Pre- liminary measures have been taken by the Dominion Repatriation Committee for carrying out the broad plan of as- sisting returned soldiers and their de pendents, which may invole govern ment expenditure of S100,000,000.
 Loans totaling more than $l,5O0,- 900 have already been granted a thols and or more returned soldiers, while 800 others have made entries on gov ernment land under the soldier settle ment act Ottawa has officially an nounced.
 The governments program so pre- pared thus far would allow a return ed soldier a free grant of quarter section, on homestead conditions in addition to his ordinary homestead right. This privilege is extended under the soldier settlement act. The govern ment has suspended entry by others than soldiers on all remaining home. stead lands in the western provincves within fifteen miles of railway trans portation.
 A soldier is eligible to a maximum loan of s2,500 for purchase of live stock, erection of buildings and other improvements when he goes on the land. The loan, which must be re paid in twenty annual installments, i> given in the form of refunds for ex, penditures Interest of five percen. is charged An additional 5000 may 1 be advanced as the land is improved.

 The shop stewards movement how . ever, in its present form has been evolved independently of existing trade union machinery. Like the earl fer types of trade union activity, it has been thrown up spontaneously by the rank and file to meet new emcT- gency. Its unit of organization is the shop. Its characteristic is that it is an unofficial organization which has no definite relationship to the normal conal machinery of trade unionism. but which has powers sufficiently broad to bring about serious disloca- ton in industry without the consent or even the Knowledge of the recognizes heads of even the most influential trade unions.

CHEAP IMMIGRANT LABOR
 IS PROHIBITED BY JAPAN

TOXIC, April g. The prohibition of cheap immigrat labor, except under special permission of the authorities, is by no means dead letter in Japan. Eight hundred Chinese coolies recent ly were sent back to Autung unler police escort by the Home Minister.
 Commenting on this incident M. Zumoto, editor of the Herald of Asia, tells his countrymen that the policy that excludes Japanese labor from America and Australia, makes it pos sible for Japanese laborers to earn a living at home.
 The coolies in question had been i'm. ported from Autung by an iron manu. facturer at Hiroshima, who lost $25,- 900 by the operation.
