The Game Of Whist.

All great discoveries are works Of
time, and the game Of whist is no ex-
ception to the rule. Its merits were
not recognized in early tilne:t and un-

servants hall ere 1t could ascend TO
the drawing room.

1t now begins to appear that wher
strikes come the public is the goat.
Coal is $3.50 a ton in Union, and
hard to get, at that The only par
ties benefited are the operators Of
the mines. Certainly, the miners
have not benefited. Months of idle
ness, with the consequent loss #
wages, the resulting unsettled condi-
tions and the widening of the gap be
tween employer and employee, have
left the worker worse off than before
The only ones to come out ahead are
the operators. With a vast amount
of coal already mined. all they had to
do was to sit still, and begin to raise
the price of coal. The miners said all
the time that the operators were
goading them to strike, and it looks
now like it was the truth. While all
this robbing of the public goes on
the government is carrying on its in
vestigations and promising relief. But
the relief, as usual, will come too
late to do those who have been robbed
any good.

Prohibition is an Old
Story in Bechuana Land

Honuoh, ocI. S.-for nifty years
Bechuana land, north of Cape Colony
in South Africa, has enjoyed peace
and prosperity under Chief Khama
with Great Britain lending a helping
hand when needed. Khama, said tc
be the Oldest native ruler in Africa
is now celebrating his jubilee. AS hs
looks back over the years he sees
much that makes his happy, but new
ertheless he is disturbed as to the fu-
ture of the protectorate. His sor
and heir belongs to the new order;
looks upon Khama as an old fogey
does not believe as he does, and shows
no inclination of following in his foot
steps. For twenty-five years the son
has be& ,away from home, and has
not sefa his old father. He turned
up only just in time to attend the
jubilel celebrations.
AcdEding to the story of him told
by thAytulawayo correspondent of the
Morning. Post, Khama is a remark

in maintaining his influence over his

place t the new. Khama was no

trust tothe force of his own ex-
ample alone. He made law that
none of bis people should touch fire.
water and he enforced it.
Zone Of the secrets of Khama's
success" writes the correspondent,
"is his imposition of absolute prohi-
bition Of intoxicants within his land.
Bechuana land was dry before the
Anti-Saloon League of America be-
gan to think. of prohibition"
At the time of the Jameson Raid,
in 1895, Khama needed help. He
crossed the ocean and say the "Great
White Queen" Queen Victoria told
him the raid would be stopped, and
that as long as she lived his rights
should not be infringed by any of
her people. That promise was kept.
AS part Of the jubilee celebrations
Khama's native army passed before
him in review, and there was dancing
and great demonstrations Of loyalty.
Many speeches were made. The resi-
dent Magistrate, missionaries, and
white settlers showered congratula-
tions on tie venerable old man. The
ceremonies lasted long time. When
they were4done at last, Khama rose
to his feet and amid profound silence
made an Impressive speech. At its
close, to tie surprise of everybody, he
made psthetic appeal to his son,
Sekgoma.
II have word for my son. I do
not know him. He has grown up
away fron me, and from his people,
so that he cannot know my wishes
and their Ways. If he is willing to
walk In the road that has been shown
me, all win be well. He has not yet
given his heart to God. II he viii

1t appears to us that athletics in
the schools and colleges is being a BIT
over done. Particularly in many f
our high schools. There are 700 MANY
trips made during the school term.
The present status allows a few to
overdo and the many to &c without
sufficient physical training. We DC
not mean to condemn physical train
ing in our schools. The truth is, we
have all too little physical training.
1t is very poor start that boy OF
girl has when the body is neglected.
No matter how much mental training
your child has, a feeble, diseased bouy
will prove terrible handicap. But q
thorough training in well equipped
gymnasium would meet the needs cf
all the students. And classes in ply
sical culture should be as much a part
Of the course as arithmetic.

Most of our read,ns: Is don. so

Most Of our reading Is done so hur-
riedly that We get practically no ben
eft from it. It is the age Of hurry;
an age that is superficial. 1t is an
age Of the short cut, the get-rich- quick
scheme, the age Of camoufage and
sham. No wonder that hypocrisy and
rascality abound. We have caught
the automobile and airplane pace, and
haze no lime to think, weigh, ponder
And nowhere is this craze more in
evidence than in the habit of skim
ming in our reading. 1t would be a
good thing if We would determine to
do some careful reading each day Of
something solid, something worth
while.

The man of ambition may start ou.;
working for another, but it will not
be long before he will strike out for
himself. To that end he will labor,
plan, save. And why not? 1t is the
desire of every redblooded man to own
property, to have something he can
call his own. And in country like
ours, the ambition is easily attained.
But suppose we had no stable gov
ernment? Suppose there were no pro-
lection to property and life? There
are many such regions upon the earth
today, and they arc not desirable
places in which to live. II the above
statements are true, is it not worth
while to hold up the law? Should VIC

The Christian religion teaches MS
to feed the hungry, clothe the naked
give 4 cup or cold water to the thirsty
and minister to the sick and the
weary. And such minstration is
beautiful. But the spirit of Christian
ity goes much further. 1t seeks to
Danish hunger from the earth, dc
stroy poverty and disease, and give to
every human being a chance to be
we'll and happy. 1t is Far better to
open the way for man to help him
self, than it is to keep his body and
soul together by dishing out to him
bread and cheese. 1t is a serious
question whether professional charity
does rot harm more than 1t helps.
Something goes out of man who is
the recipient of long continued as
sistance. His self-respect is destroy
ed. His capacity to think for him
self is impaired. He sinks lower and
lower into helpless poverty and often
becomes an migrate. The food and
raiment donated can do good only
when it comes in an emergency. 1t is
temporary relief; the cure comes
later. Christianity thus teaches the
rendering of first aid, and then the
application Of a cure.

Crime continues to sweep over the
land, veritable tidal wave of it. it
has been said that three-fourths of it
is caused by whiskey. We all know
that most Of it is so caused. 1t is not
because we are trying by prohibition
to put down the liquor traffic, but be-
cause OF the nature Of the beast itself.
When men are under the influence IF
whiskey they are in prime condition
to commit murder or any other crime.

Old Friends Meet

Many years ago, the two were both

night yardmaster. The two were
pop,lar with the merchants and resi-
dents of the city because of their will

we're being made and the like.
Thirteen years ago, at virtually the
same time. the two quit their jobs
with the Great Northern. Johnson be
came y~ardmaster with the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul at Butte, while
Edwards became a yardmaster al
Medicine Hat, Alta.
4 few days ago, Johnson decided
to make a visit to Great Fails to see
some of his friends. He had hardly
arrived in the city before he was
thinking of his old friend. lie entered

Edwards had arrived in Great Falls or
