A moment later he fell on the snow

BEER IN VANCOUVER

It's curious about British Columbia beer. For
while the province dry, dry any American
state is today. Then the people decided that they
wanted beer, and system was adopted whereby four
per cent stuff could be obtained readily anywhere.
That was a little year ago.
At first the beer parlors flourished nightly Peo-
pie bought and drank the beverage and were well
pleased with it. Life worth living again Then
for some reason other the trade began to fall Off
Patrons seemed to lose their interest in beer One
beer parlor after another failed. The number in
Vancouver has already shrunk from 10 to II, with
more shrnkage expected.
When the people couldn't get beer they wanted it
dreadfully. When they could have it, and the novelty
wore off they didn't much about it.
Mavbe they had really learned something, though
not conscious of it al the time during the period OF
deprivation. Maybe the alienation dry and wet
taught them something. Anyhow, a village phios-
opher says, people funny"
The rate of S25 a minute for radio conversations
across the Atlantic might have fine effect if it were
anpled TO all conversation on both sides. What the
world needs today is realization that it could make
more money by doing less talking.

Attire Hard to Adjust

The original dress of the Scottish
highlander was the Celtic feile-brea-
can, or belted plaid this being a piece
of tartan cloth two yards broad and
four long, drawn around the waist in
carefully adjusted folds, and firmly
buckled with belt. Like the modern
kilt, the lower part reached the knees
while the upper was fixed to the Shout
der in a manner to permit perfect
freedom of the right arm In wet
weather the plaid or upper part Of
cloth served as a covering for the
shoulders. 1t required considerable
dexterity for a Highlander to attire
himself in belted plaid. The method
usually employed was to lay 1t on the
floor and, after the folds had been
carefully arranged, to lie down upon
1t and buckle 1t on.-Vancouver Prov

Big DISCOVERY Made
With Crude Telescope

One of the capital discoveries Of
astronomy was made with crude
telescope In April, 1915. 1t was the
discovery Of spiral nebulae, by Lord
Rose, an English peer. Ills large tele-
scope was erected in a country dis
trict of Ireland more than eighty years
ago, for the most part with local la
Dor, and it lacked all the advantages
that modern machine tools now afford.
Its long tube, supported upon a ball
and-socket joint, and slung in chains
between two high walls Of masonry,
peered through the Irish mists Lord
Rose could observe objects only
when near the meridian and then at
the cost Of constant effort. In modern
instruments the apparent westward
motion of the stars Is counteracted by
the steady motion of the telescope
tube, turned slowly about a polar axis
by powerful driving-clock. Lord
Rose, after the tube had been worked
back and forth with q windlass until
the tedious task of finding a celestial
object had been completed, then had
to keep it in the field Of view by con-
slant recourse to similar primitive
contrivances.-George Ellery Hale, In
Scribner's Magazine.

No one can ever say that Mr.. Gush
refused the gauntlet. He is always
ready to do battle with the biggest
customer In his territory. "They can't
bluff me and the bigger they are, the
harder they fall" he so originally puts
It.
Mr.. Gush has found 1t difficult to

Unable to Put Trust
in AlliRotors Memory

Charles Ringling, of circus fame,
who died at Sarasota, used to collect
anecdotes of Florida crackers, poor
whites and colored folk.
"One of Mr.. Ringling's anecdotes"
said a Sarasota realtor, the other
day, was about a cautious convert
There had been, you see, a col
ored revival, and the colored revival
list was about to baptize a batch of
converts In one of those dark, silent,
susplcious-lOoking streams that you
find in our Everglades.
"'Come, the revivallst said, as he
stepped into the black water. Come,
follow me, breddern and slstern.'
But just then couple of ALL
gators raised their heads from the
mud and opened their terrible mouths
in a vast yawn. This caused the con-
verts TO step back with low cries Of
alarm.
THE revivalist rebuked them. Bred

mice, the type Of animals especially

placed on various diets, those fed the
