Secret Gold Field.

There is no doubt that there is gold
in the SOudan, and the French gov
eminent is taking steps to get 1t out.
Concessions are being given to COM
panies which will endeavor to operate
gold mines in that country, and the
natives will be rewarded for revealing
the places where nuggets have been
found. Twenty years ago some ma
tives brought in a 60-pOund rock,
which was found to be 90 per cent
gOld.. and recently there have been
found number of smaller nuggets
which were almost as rich. The Sou
danese fields are at present very diff
cult TO reach, but the announced fact
that a colonial railroad project is to
be completed in a few years makes
the outlook very hopeful, ana the pre-
diction is made by some that the Sou
dan will some day Outrival the Klon-
dixie. Heretofore the natives have
been clever enough to guard as a Sc
cret the source of their gold findings.

I nattered myself that I'd kept my youth;
That ne far as the world could see. In
truth,
My hair was thick and my movements
quick
And 1.-THE as they ever we're;
But a maiden of twenty glanced at me
And the way she glanced could clearly
see
That in spite of my pep and my youth
full step
i didn't look young to heri
on, you may deny that you're on the
shelf,
And quite successfully kid yourself,
But you won't deceive the daughter OF
Eve
Whose youth is youth indeed;
She will let you jolly her at dance.
But, oh, the tolerance OF her glance,
As her young eyes gauge your probable
age
In spite Of your zest and speed
Oh, there may be youth in your inmost
heart
And your outward semblance be young
and smart.
But youth won't fall for your blum at all
Though bravely enough you try,
when the girls smiles say-as you have
your fling
"Oh. isn't he simply spry old thingv
why. II should be plain Though II brings
you PAIN
That you've hidden your youth
eoodby!

PRIMITIVE LAND OF ALBANIA
Conditions There Today Much as They
Were at the Beginning OF
Civilization.

Albania belongs to q time as far
back as the annals of the world can
reach and is as primitive as If 1t were
in central China, almost as difficult
TO penetrate as Tibet itself. 1t is
land unfamiliar to the traveller and
stunned by the tourist of today.
If the three or four centers of popu-
lation in southern Albania are a lit
tie disappointing as cities, this is
not true of the country or of the pic
turesque villages which gather like
gray splashes upon the grayer hills,
where they appear to have nestled
since the beginning of time. Rough
stone huts they are for the most part,
with fiat stone roofs. For purposes
of defense, they are usually situated
half way up the lower hills, and the
houses and Outbulldings are often sur
rounded by strong stone walls.
The valleys are rich and well culti-
waited. chiefly by tie women, but pre-
sent a desOlate, deserted appearance
except In the daylight working hours.
Not a farmhouse nor stable is to be
seen amidst all the fertile acres. The
crops cannot be stolen; no bandit
would think of destroying them, and
20 they are left guarded.-National

Mr.. Walter Goodacre discussing the
photographs Of the moon taken at
Mount Wilson with the Hooker tele-
scope, says that the hypothesis as
cribing the formation Of lunar craters
10 the impact Of meteors is now gen
orally discredited, but if additional
arguments against it were necessary
they would be found in a careful
study of the superb photographs above
mentioned. He states that con-
sideration Of the fine detail found in
these pictures, especially in relation
10 the many crater chains and clefts,
suggests that their existence can only
be accounted FOR on the superstition
that they are due to volcanic agency
in the early days of the moons history.

Veteran Oddly Wounded.

X-ray photographs taken in Boston
prove that there is an ear-tO-ear
passageway through the Uranium of a
wounded veteran of the Canadian ex-
peditionary forces, who was under
treatment at the Massachusetts clinic,
according to attending surgeons. Six
shoe buttons, WHICH he attempted to
pass from one side of his head to the
other, became clogged, the photographs
taken for record clearly show them.
Three of the buttons have been dis
lodged. One passed out through his
ear and two through his nasal pas
sages. The wounded mans condition
was considered to be serious because
of the danger that hooks on the re-
naming buttons might rupture blood
vessel. The phenomenon was caused,
the veteran said, by the concussion of
an exploding shell in France.

DEFENDS THE aolMe NOVEL"
canadian Writer Points Out That at
Least II Stunned the sex STUFF
New Common.

This Is not a plea for the return Of
the dime novel. In fact we fear that
the dime novel can never come back
they don't sell anything for a dime
any more. All In all, however, q
only thing about the dime novel that
was as bad as II was painted was the
cover. Most OF us remember much
that was pleasant about the old pa
per cover" that flourIshed In the sos
and 9Os. Under Diamond Dick we
gang-fought all sorts of thugs and bad
men; with Old King Brady we de-
tected the bank robber with our de-
tectors hitting on all six; we rode
with Buffalo Bill as he put the Indian
sign on Indians, that were at least
supposed to be bad. Sometimes it
was rough stuff, but at that 1t was
rarely that more than one throat y
day was cut or more than a pint of
gore left clinging to the deftly-re-
moved scalp We remember that In
the end Virtue (spell with capital V,
please) always triumphed and that
honesty, IL not the best policy, didn't
do anybody any harm. The much
abused dime novel, II will have to be
said, tended the young shoots Of the
imagination in many creaky wood
she'd loft and in many sheltered spot
behind the cedar fence.
As we remember the dime novel, we
are unable to recall one bedroom
scene, one neglected wife, one young
heroine sobbing in her pink boudoir
because she Is not understood, one
nasty sex problem. Which may lead
some of us to think that the dime
novel had nothing to fear in COM
parison with the 81 novel.-Manitoba

a DAY is 4 DAY.

A day for you and a day for mo- vi
Sunshine, flowers and breeze
What, at dusk. shall the answer be.
Wrought from the blend Of these:
A dreary look, or a CHEEKY smile
Born OF the thoughts that are worth ones
while
day ls a day the same for all,
The whole wide world around,
The voices OF nature lure and call,
And beauties rare abound.
But one man whimpers and stops to sigh.
While another climbs on toward the sky.

And we can make or mar Il:
II holds great possibility
For all who do not scar II:
II may be gold or II may be gray
That rests with us. for a days a day.

Chicken Cares for Pups.

A big Buff Orpington hen that adopt
ed litter of six pups Is owned by a
Saskatchewan farmer Early in the
season she Matched and reared brood
of ten chicks. After she left them to
shift for themselves she laid few
more eggs and was ready to set again
when her attention was attracted to
the pups, who were bewailng the tenn
pOrary absence of their mother. The
hen then forgot all about setting and
went over to comfort the pups. When
the mother dog went to suckle her
young, they reluctantly approached he's
one by one. When the hen would find
herself deserted she would go and
hover over the dog and pups. The
dog, medium-sized mongrel, raised
no objection but wriggled away from
under her as soon as possible.
