RICHES

IF ! had loads of money existence
would be sunny the poor fish sadly
mosns; I'm certainly disguised with
being always busted, when other men
have bones. The rich man has no
sorrow: if he should try to borrow
grief 'twould be in vain; for money is
the basis of all the JOY that chases
around this mundane plain" But when
a man has riches his walls, in dismal
pitches. assail the gates of morn of all
men who have anguish of all who
wilt and languish, he seems the most
forlorn All kinds of grafters fret him,
the tax collectors get him. and leave
him sick and sore; his pet investments
fizzle, his tears fall in a drizzle, and
life becomes a bore. The people tire
and irk him. because they try to work
him. and rend him from his kale; he
has no friends TO cherish. all his af-
fections perish, and all his longings
fail OF all the idle dredmers, and all
the ruthless schemers he is the proper
prey: the robbers make him tremble.
and gold brick men assemble around
him on his way. The hates of men
revolt him, the eyes of envy jolt him,
and everywhere he wends he meets
the whining needy, the covetous and
greedy. but seldom meets with friends.
And when we envy riches, while dig
cling useful bitches or saving helpful
wood, our taste must be lamented; so
let us be contented, and labor and be
good.

A SIGN OF
THE TIMES
The Empress of France to Make
74-Day Cruise to the Med
iterranean February IL.

The popularity of the Empress of
Scotland is well proven from the fact
that she was full up just ten weeks
from the day the Mediterranean Cruise
was announced. Scores were turned
away who wanted rooms with bath
and about $50 are on the waiting list
for anything given up.
Frank c. Clark of New York has
induced the Canadian Pacific to char
ter him a second ship viz the Empress
of France, to leave New York Febru-
airy 18th, week behind the Empress
OF Scotland for very extended cruise
OF "a days. The route covers Las
Palmas, Canary Islands, Madeira, Lis
bon, Cadiz, Seville, Gibraltar, Algiers,
Genoa, Leghorn, Pisa, Naples, Pom
peii. Athens, Constantinople, eighteen
days in Egypt and Palestine, Monte
Carlo, HayTe,> Liverpool and st. John
or Quebec and Montreal. Over ninety
per cent will stop over in Europe and
visit Paris, London, Oberammargau
etc. About eighty will make a thor
ough tour of ten days through Spain
including Madrid, Toledo, Cordova. Sc
vile and Granada, and the same num-
Der will make thorough tour of ten
days in the Holyland spending three
days at Damascus, three days around
Lake Galilee and Nazareth, four days
around Jerusalem including the Jor-
dan and Dead Sea, and will travel by
the new Allenby railway from Jerusa-
lem via the Suez Canal to Cairo, and
then visit the First Cataract of the
Nile. Over half of the passengers
will take Nile trips, many will go as
far as the Second Cataract and a few
will go up to khartoum.
The first cruise leaves February 4th
by the Empress of Scotland from New
York and it lasts So days Advertise

he gave an extremely instructive lee
ture, and all were very enthusiastic
over the outlook for the coming %
weeks of study Every denomination
in the city was represented in the
first meeting. The topic for consid-
Grafton was the book of Ezekiel Prof
Russell opened his talk by giving a
historical statement concerning the
book, and telling the setting of the
action. He also spoke of the purpose
for writing the book. and of Ezekiel's
mission in the world. In conclusion,
the professor applied the situation to
the conditions of that time Some in
teresting discussions were heard be-
fore the adjournment.

A Christmas at Church

tho church is tho founda ton OF religion as
typical y His birth. His holy life on earth,
His erucfxion and His nnal resurrection es
our saviour.
Instead of being filed TO overfowing. the
churches are invariably, at the Christmas
period, only partly filled. and frequently
less than half tho congregation attends the
special Christmas service. Why is this7
Because thu men and women OF the churc.
have SO completely exhausted themselves
through shopping and other preparations for
the holiday that they have not the en- lrBy
to get out to the service. In fact, most or
because no one will attend tho rvicc. and
tho Christmas exercises are conducted on
some other day than the one set aside for
tn. Observance, December %.
And not alone are the churches neglected,
but everything OF memorial character
seems TO be forgotten on this day through
tho activity OF pres nting and receiving pres
ents. cooking elaborate dinners and In sim
liar ways. and how few ever give a thought
to tho little Babe in the manger who's
birth called out this celebration. I think
II would bo n good plan II the preachers tooh

Tho Procedure on Coal
70 the Editor O, the Evenino Public Le6o,

TO the Edtor OF fhe evening Pubtc Ledger:
sr--A writer to your Peoples Forum
claims the high cost OF coal can only be
lowered by reducing the wages OF the miners
and the freight rates. What are the facts?
III. writer has beon frank In stating figures
and using them to find that tho railroads
receive 81 20 per ton to carry the coal q dis.
taneo Of less than 500 miles. He then al
lows the retailer n margin OF ninoty-scven
cents per ton piuh q delivery charge Of s1.2o.
or total OF Salt. which is the same
amount Of the railroads, after deduct ng the
war tax. and yet tho writer claims the
freight rates arc high.
Ho states comparatively few retailers
maintain their own delivery equipment which
results IN the high delivery rates. He may
be Fight on tho maintenance OF equipment.
but maintaining equipment and owning
equipment arc two different facts. and from
what ! have seen there are few retailers
who do not deliver their own coal. which
means they reap the benefit OF tho extra
'l.2o That delivery charSc OF sI.2o ap-
plies TO one living within block OF u coal
yard as well az one living milo away,
whereas the railroads charge for the actual
distance the coal moves. The sara quoted
by tho writer IL the highest rate within the
state. but he fails to state that there arc
mines that are shipping for less. but, OF
course. the consumor should know nothing
about that.
The writer should endeayor to reduce tho
delivery charges below tho freight rates. and
after he accomplished that feat ho should
then turn his attention to wages paid the
miners ana tho so.cnlled high freight rates.
