afternoon.The 174 miles, which \u201cGeneral\u201d Rosalie Jones said was the record shown by the official registers, although railroad maps show some 25 miles less, were covered in twelve days of walking, an average of fourteen and a half miles a day.Of the six \u201cpilgrims\u201d who started from New York on the merning of December 16, five\u2014\u201cGeneral® Janes,

ARE NOT FOR CATHOLICS.\u201c Montreal, Dec.29.\u2014In the course of a circular letter addressed to the local Catholic clergy, and read at all the masses in the various local churches to-day, His Grace Archbishop Bruchesi denounced the deplorable excesses which, he said, had marked the feasting in local hotels, incident to seeing the old year out and the new year in, In certain instances the participants in these New Year\u2019, banquets had forgotten themselves to a disgraceful extent.Such feastings had about them anything but a Christian character, said His Grace, and Catholies should not figure in them.Better for them to implore the blessings of the Most High on their endeavors of the New Year.In this way, their conduct would be more consistent with Catholic tradition.\u2014\u2014

republic, They were closeted together for an hour at M.Ribot's house, but nothing concerning the \u2018vas made public except that the statement that the general ' situation both at home and abrosd had been discussed.M.Ribot, however, consented to say that his intentions with regard tu his candidacy were unchanged as a result of the interview, and from this it is inferred that both Premier

\u201cCAN'T ARBITRATE SLAP IN PACER\" \u2014 ROOSEVELT RAPS SPANISH WAR.Boston, Dec.20.\u2014~\"If you teach a soldier that he can arbitrate a slap in the face, he won't fight,\u201d declared former President Theodore Roosevelt in an address before the Military Historical Bociety of Massachusetts yesterday.\u201cAnd likewise, if you teach a nation to arbitrate a matter of vital interest to it, it won't tight.\u201d Col.Roosevelt thought the principle of arbitration was being carried too far, and was causing too little attention to be paid to needed preparation for war.FIGHT AT DROP OF HAT.\u201cI doubt if in this country there is a more genuine advocate of peace than I am,\u201d he continued.\u201cIf there is war I go to it and my sons will go; though I have, perhaps, as much at stake as anyone.But I know my countrymen: they will go to war at the drop of the hat if their national honor is jeopardized in any manner.\u201d \u201cIf I ever should have occasion to write about the Spanish war, I should have to write very harshly of the high officers of the army and navy.Thr obvious than those of the naval ot.cers.The fault, however, was not theirs,\u201d he added; it was the fault of the system, which for thirty years had resulted in no adequate preparation for wars.The brigade commanders in our army in Cuba had never seen a brigade in service since the Civil war and then they were captains and lieutenants.\u201d Junior Officers Excellent.Col.Roosevelt aid the non-com- missioned officers and junior officers of the line who served in Cuba were \u201cexcellent.\u201d Some bureau chiefs in the War Department before the war occurred were described by Col.Roosevelt as \u201chigh minded, estimable gentlemen, but utterly unable to understand the conditions of modern warfare.\" One complained to him, he declared; that \u201chis department was running all right until the war came along.\u201d Another, he said.told him to nse the black powder, because the \u201csmoke will hide your men.\u201d \u201cThere is but one way to maintain peace,\u201d continued the Colonel, \u201cand that is by keeping our army and navy in such a state of preparation that there will be no temptation on the part of some one else to 80 to war with us,\u201d NOT HURT IN COLLISION.Montevedio, Dec.20\u2014An inspection of the Prince Line steamship Austrian Prince, which on

held, cheered when the strike decision was resd to them.Hundreds of persons were prevented by the police from parading through the Bast Side to show their approval of the order, NATIONAL COMMITTEE THERE After the local committee met, the national executive committee gave its endorsement and voted to place T.A.Rickert of Chicago, chairman, at the head \u2018of the strike.Other national committeemen present included Victor Altman, Buffalo; Meyer Schwartz, Cincinnati; Abraham Gordon, Baltimore; Frank Doyle, Syracuse, and John Bush, Canada, No announcement was made whethez the presence of practically all of the national committee was an indication that the strike would be extended to other cities.Fifty national organizers were appointed as aides to Natbnal Chrirman Rickert, and it

said.Henry Wexman, chairman of the national committee, explained this today as follows: \u201cThe manufacturers give or notice in advance when they are going to cut wages and we are following the same tactics.\u201d The sub-contract system, which is declared to have led to labor in dark tenements and child labor, figures in the demands.The abolition of both is asked for.Other demands are a 20 per cent.wage increase, with a minimum wage scale of $10 a week and $16 for men; overtime work to be paid for at \u201ctime and a half\u201d rate, and holiday overtime at double rates; and clean and sanitary workshops.Work For $8 a Week.Strike leaders, discussing the demand for better wages said that men have been receiving as low at $8 a week and women less.Manufacturers declare their readiness to meet the emergency.They said today that they would have new employes on hand tomorrow to take the places of the strikers.Eugene Benjamin, President of the New York Clothing Trade Association, said he did not think more than 20 per cent.of the garment workers would walk out, Today's decision to strike came as a surprise to those who sought to bring about the appointment of an arbitration board by the International peace forum, which has expected the strikeleaders to report tomorrow their acceptance or rejection of a mediation offer, TIDAL WAVE ON ARICHAT SHORE THREE MILES OF COAST SWEPT BY SUDDEN RISE OF WATER.Halifax, N.8, Dec.22\u2014A tidal wave swept down upon the shore from Arichat to Petit De Grat at midnight on Friday and caused considerable damage.The section affected is about three miles in length and all along there are marks of its ravages.Several families living along the waterfront had to flee for their lives.At Petit De Grat the store of William Jeans was swept into the sea and at Arichat Charles Servin\u2019s building was wrecked.A breskwater at Little Ance was partially destroyed and one at West Arichat was damaged.The water suddenly rose fifteen feet and almost as quickly subsided.A vast amount of fishing gear was destroyed and many bosts were driven ashore Madame Guilbault, 70 Years Old, and Her Son Bison Perish In Early Morning Fire

pronounce sentence upon the 38 men con- Madame Pierre Guilbault, aged 70, and her son Bison Guilbault, aged 28, were burned to death as they slept in their home at Tharlesbourg carly yesterday morning.and later in the day their charred remains were recovered from the ruins.Madame Guilbault, the mother of several grown-up children, lived alone with one son, the father living in Quebec, where he works in the employ of Mr.A.G.Hookes, St, Francois street, St.Roch, as a mill band Two other sons were also absent in the city.BLAZE AWAKENS NEIGHBORS.The mother and son lived in a house situated on the corner of the main Charlesbourg and Bigot roads.They retired as usual on Saturday night.victed by the jury's verdict Saturday of complicity in the McNamara dynamite plots, including the wrecking of the Times plant at Los Angeles, Cal, in which many lives Were lost.Only two of the 40 defendants, Herman G.Seiffert of Milwaukee, and Daniel : Buckley of Davenport, Ia, were found not guilty.SECRET ROUTE TO PRISON.Prisoners who receive terms longer than one year are to be taken to the federal prison at Leavenworth.Kas.A special train will go by a secret route.Details as to its time of leaving Indianapolis and its arrival at Leavenworth are n st to be made pub- tic.It was learned that U.S.Marshal Edward Schmidt, who will accompany the prisoners, already had prepared for a special train, which will leave as soon as possible after the sentences.A delay in the arrangements may be occasioned by appeals which may act as stays on the execution of the court's judgments.District Attorney Charles W.Mui ler, who prosecuted the cases for the government, said he would oppose any appeals for light sentences in the cases of certais.of the prisoners.Last night the prisoners, four in each cell, occupied two tiers of cells in the Marion cou:gy \u2018ail.They are on the second floor of the gray stone building, within a few blocks from the heart of the city.The prisoners, each visible to the others through the bars, were variously downcast or cheerful.Some pro- {essed to take the jvey's verdict in light spirits, while disappointment plainly was written across the countenances of the others.Marshal Schmidt at once placed extra guards about the jail to prevent demonstrations by crowds, Women and Children Sob Outside the jail there was enacted a scene in which joy played no part.It had to do with the wives, sisters and children of the defendants, That verdict, delivered in the sombre court room in so brief a time, struck first silence and then an outburst of hysterical sobbing among the women who for months had hoped for a different result.Some of the women attempted to climb over the railings which separated them and had for weeks separated them during the court's sessions from that part of the room where the defendants sat.Arms appealingly were stretched forth.Mrs, Frank J.Higgins, Boston, fainted as she saw her husband led away.The children of ott rs began to cry, but the orders of the court were inexorable.\u201cClear the court room,\u201d demanded Marshal Schmidt, who with a staff of special deputies had tihrty-eight pairs of handcuffs in readiness.Like a Scene from Hugo, But a scene almost like a page from Victor Hugo was yet to be witnessed in the streets $a the terrorized faces and frenzied gesticulations of those who followed in the wake of the procession to the fail, Three men abreast.a prisoner with 8 handcuffed deputy on each side, the procession itself almost half a block long, marched through crowded streets, but among crowds that looked on in silence.It was as silent as 2 pantomine, save far in the rear.In the rear were rushing and trying to keep up the women who had become confused in emerging from the federal building and w)o were inquiring the way to the jail.Many of the women elbowed through the crowds, courageously keeping the pace set by the prisoners ahead, but others lagged behind or lost their way.At the door of one of the corridors of the jail, President Ryan, of the Iron Workers\u2019 Union, was interviewed to-night.He was not allowed to be seen in his cell, but in response to a request hg wag lod out inte à sorridor.Sunday morning at 3:45 o'clock the neighbors were awakened by the reflection of a nearby fire, and hastily ran out and discovered the Guilbault home enveloped in flames.Every effort was made by the neighbors to get the fire under control by water passed in buckets and by other ! primitive means, but without avail.The wooden structure kept on burning until it was a mass of hot cinders.Miss Inmates After Fire.It was some time before the two people asleep in the house were missed and anxious inquiries were made regarding their safety.Finally it was realized with a general feeling of horror that the aged mother and son must have perished in the flames, as no trace of them could be found Yesterday forenoon the good people of Charlesbourg gathered about the still barning ruins and as soon as it was parctical commenced to throw water on the hot .inderg to coel the ruing te mul 4 search poesi- ble.It was \u2018well fato tbe sftérnoon DEATH IN CHARLESBOURG

government's naval promesse sre strongly supported by public opinion and irreaponsible and impraciical proposals of the Leader of the Oppaskien ère subjected té-acathing eriticiem, Wr.Borden has arranged that whenever possible Canadians will be given the opportunity to man the Canadian vespssh in the British navy.It will require about three thousund men to mpu these thes Dreadnoughts which will De Canade's fret contribution towards the defence of the Empire.* .These ships will be ready for service in 1915 and 6 Hi requirés seven years to train seamen the impossibility of Canada\u2019s furnishing the required body of trained ses- mem is easily understood.Qenadians seem to prefer military to naval service ad i may takes many years to popularize the navy and! secure enough efficient men to man it.+ The report of the Canadian naval service ending Marsh tet last shows the difficulty that there is in getting: Canadisne to enter the service.\u2018When the Laurier navy was started, two antiquated war vessels were purchased from the British government.Rear-Admiral Kingsmill says that the number of re-! Quuitg entercd during the year was 126, of whom 111 were\u2019 for -the Niobe and 15 for the Rainbow.There deserted | from.the former bost 86 recruits and 17 other mem and from the Raipbow 25 recruits and 21 other men.\\ That is to say that about one recruit in four remained | gvey more numerous than the men taken \u2018on during the vos he Admiral suggests that this state of affairs is due \u201cto the fact that most of the recruits were drawn from cities and towns remote from the sea and while aboard they encountered conditions widely different to those whick hey had been accustomed to at home.He expresses the hope that if the fishing centres could be exploited a class of men and boys to whom sea life would be congenial might be secured.The service, however, bas been open to the fishing classes from the first but it never attracted them.Since the publication of the teport ig question the condition of affairs has become even nore umsstisfactory and unless new crews are obtained trom Great Britain the vessels may be tied up.It is not assumed that Canada was to blame for the state of affairs thus described.The means taken to se- sure recruits at the start were fairly effective, but the young men could not be retained and it was evidently thought well not to use force to bring them back.There are two reasons why things should have come te this pase=the greater opportunities in other walks of Me and the lack of familiarity with the service.Canadians, with a few exceptions, are not a seafaring people.As a young nation aur efforts have been confined to the military arm.It is the opposite in Britain where a large portion of the population is familiar with the sea and where the glorious traditions of Britain's naval service have made it popular.oer pons wa TN SE il d.oa ithe Niobe and the desertions on the Rainbow were | loads of vegetables had been allowed to rot in the yards illustration of the Laurier policy of manwing the Canadian navy by Canadians.It also suggests that a view of the Esquimalt navy | gg yard as it appeared when the late government left office, with the unmounted guns left lying scattered and half buried on Signal Hill, could be.presented as an exhibit of I the naval preparations made by the Jate gaverument during Giteen years of office.0° By way of comparison could be shown the two Dread: nought fleets mow prepared by Sit Wiltsid with sll their accessories.The whole could be explained by a legend sciting forth that one exhibit is the fruit of fifteen years in \u2018power and the other of fifteen months in opposition.\u201cMILITANT CHRISTIANS.\u201d On a recent Monday in London the praying Johnny Summers knelt at his corner at the beginning and end of sash tpund in defence of the weltefweight championship \u2018as England against \u201cSyd\u201d Burns whom he religiously battered into submission., Sommers, who justifies his prizs-fghting and worships the strenuous life, is almost a Puritan.\u201cI cut off their hesda for the glory of God,\u201d cried Cromwell fervently, A DOUBLE EVIL, The high cost of living is a subject with so many sides to it that there is no day passes without exposing some phase of its cause or effects.Last year the reci- procists of this country contended that the consumption of vegetables in the United States had gone beyond production and that there Would be an assured market for Canadian products of this character.- : Two days ago the committee on food.supply of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce had a situation brought to its attention that has started the members on an investigation.It was shown conclusively that whole train of this one city in order to assist in a manipulation of prices by dealers.One hundred and twenty-five carloads of cabbage, which reached the Pittsburg produce market, had the cflect of shaking wholesale prices.To get the mountain of cabbages out of the yards they were offered to anyone who wauld pay freight rates, then they were offered at a dollar a wagon load with no restriction on the size.Out of the 125 carloads, no less than 119 carloads rotted.Yet, at the very same time, cabbage was being sold in Pittsburg at retail at the highest price it has, ever been known to reach.The Chamber of Commerce com- | mittee believes that a profit of between five and six hundred per cent.was being made on the vegetables that were sold retail.: This is the market that the reciprocists offered to Canadian farmers, 8 market where trainloads uf produce are allowewd to rot in order that prices may be maintained by dealers.And there is the other side of # also.With reciprocity just such trainloads might.have been dumped into Canada at any time to smash prices, and demoralize the market.It was from a double evil that the people of this country saved themselves when hey refused the Taft gold-brick.; Is there enough of the Christmas \u2018onthusièses left over for the New Year's day?The talk of tarring Jack Johnson is abbugd.What is the matter with a whitewash brush?To = This country affords aych_ jfcent.nit that the vy otoriond Sie sid slow advancement in the navy militates against the successful enlistment of many seamen.It has been found that even in our permanent forces and in the North West Mounted Police Canadians have #ot been anxious to enlist and recruits for these organisations are mainly secured in Britain, If this is the case with our military organizations even greater difficulties are met with in the naval branch.\u2018his does not arise from any lack of patriotic zesl on the part of the young men of Canada, 1f war was declared the latter would lose no time in enlistigg but it is hardly to be expected that in time of peace the Canadian would desire the manotonous life of a seaman with its small pay when there are such golden opportunities of wealth on every hand.The case of the navy is different from that of the arnty where a few mcaths service will make something out | of the rawest recruit, In the navy it takes years and to man a Dreadnought will a crew of recruits would render it useless and en danger the lives of the crew.Under Mr.Borden's policy every Canadian who wishes to serve in the navy will be given an opportunity but it is useless to deny that for years hence there must be British seamen on Canadian ships.Ît will be impossible to se- eure enough Canadian seamen and it will be necessyry for them to mix with the veterans if an effective fighting force Is to be produced.\u2014 THE BALKAN LESSONS.i All the nations of the world are learning a lesson! fe wariare from the Balkan troops now endeavoring to srowd Turkey of the map.When the conflict is over there will have to be plenty of amendments made in the military text-book as a result of the successes of the sasuntain soldiery, | ; _ The truth seems to de that no arbitrary set of rules con de fixed for the successful conduct of à campaign.Long ago physical impact with hand to hand fighting was declared \u2018absolete by the authorities, Now the Balkan tea have carried fort after fort in just that fashion with al) the old style and melodramatic stmosphere.Also, they are showing the military masters of Europe a thing ot two about the feeding of an immense army and the developing of à citisenchip into the greatest efficiency for warfere.The Boers showed a few years ago what guerilla warfare sould seccomplish against trained regiments, The Japenese startled the world with their sanitary and sur- ienl safeguards for the soldiery.And mow the prowd powers are going to school to the despised Balkans to marvel at oxen and sheep following an army and every mea, women and child working hard for the cause la some capacity or anothes, After all, righteousness, pre- paredéess, patriotism and valor still remain the fundamental factors in warfare as they have been from the be- gisaing of civilisation.A SUGGESTION FOR LIBERALS.» wposking of the sansuscement that a great Liberal Semenetration in faves of the Laurier naval scheme will tbe placo in Vancouver one of these days the News Advertiser of that ely says that aa affair of this kind salyht Be hiightened by o few spectacular effects, It therefors RI pn : © Commetit of The P An attempt made upon the life bf Sakon Hardinge,) Viceroy of India;

leaving nothing for tomorrow doing all our chores today'\u2014 Walt Mason.a.\u2014i \u2014 cu \u2014 Lo.Reduced Rates| fpr, New Year's \u201cHolidays.The Canadian Pacific Railway Coannounce that they\u201d will issue return tickets at the following redirced rates during the New Yepr's holidays : NEW YEAR\u2014Return tickets at lowest one way first class fare.Going Dec.31st, 1912, apd Jan.1st, 1913.Retury limit, Jan.Ynd, 1913.Return tickets at lowest one way first class fare and\u2019 one-third.Going Dec.30 and 31st and Jan.lat, 1913.Return limit, Jan.3rd, 1913.MONTREAL AND RETURN, $4.90\u2014Going Dec.3 and 31st and Jan, 1st, 1913.Return limit Jan.3rd, 1913.EPIPHANY~Return tickets at lowest one way first class fare.Going Jan.3, 4, § and 6th.Return limit, Jan.8th, 1913.No tickets to be sold at a less fare than 25e.- .For full puiticulire, tickets, etc, apply to 30 St.John St, corner Palais Hill, 46 Dalhousie Street, Chateau Frontenac and at Statton ticket office, Quebec.: \u2019 MOLASSES CORNBALLS Two pound of corit.on cob, or one pound package shelled.After popping pick it over and remove all hard or black kernels.For syrup, two cups molasses and one=half cup granulated sugar, boil until hard when a few drops are put int cold water, then add a piece of butte/ize of a walnut and a quarter of a teaspoon of soda.Pour warm form \u2018into balls, working very\u2019 94 they cop! fast.This makes of two to three dozen çornballs, accarding to size you make them.2 per TOBACCO SHOP.A person desires to buy the shop and stoclk.of a Tobacconist.A very-good price will be offer- Dupre & Gagnon, Advocates, Morin Building, 111 Mountain i oe Only a few hours more and then Christmas, the favored time for countless thousands of feasts, cheery social functions, and happy reunions.Christmas, the greatest incentive for painstaking housewives to make their dinner table exceedingly delightful to the eye and surpassingly gratifying to the appetite.Women with such thoughts in view will phone or call early to.dsy.We have in stock a large consignment of Xmas delicacies including English Plum Pudding, Prunes, Figs, Lemons, Orange and Citron Peel, Walnuts, Sweet Alm- »nds, Crystalized and Giaces fruits, Pears, Peaches, Plums, Xmas Stockings and Bonbonnieres of all kinds, Etc., also superior Wines, Liquors and Cigars.Georges Patry, Importer, 22 FABRIQUE STREET.3 0, ROBLIN, Tecrvnte Sols Agent lor Conde, Montreal and Winnipeg will be withdrawn as follows:\u2014Last number six ary second, arriving at Montreal Saturday, January fourth.treal, Tuesday, Deçember 81st, first, a localisrain will leave Ottawa Broad street, at 1.55 p.m., daily e- cept Sunday, for North Bay, running 68 Aimé Bf present numbee ve.a Yocal train will feave at.6.30.am., arriving Ottawa, Broad St, at 2.50 p.m.daily except Sunday, This will allow the passengers suf- \u201c1 ficient time to transfer udross the city of Ottatva te Spark Street\u2019 Station to make connection with five naught eigh which is à fast train Ottawa to Parture of trains, etc.please apply.to Canadian Pacific Railway offices, 30 | St.John St, corner Palace Hill, 46 Dalhousie St, Chateau Frontenac and at Station Ticket O:ffice, Quebec.THE LAST GALL FR SCOTCR WATS y BLACICEWT T=, * Yemaur smseves 908, Mouse or COMNO® era 801d by all Reliable Dealers \u2014_\u2014 CHANGE INC, P.R.TRAINS.Trains numbers five and aix between will leave Winnjpeg, Thursday, Janu- Last nutiber five will leave Mon- Commincing.Wednesday, January Commencing Monday, January 6th, orth Bay Montreal For further particulars- as -to de- NEW YEAR SHOPPERS Apricots, Cherries, Green Gages, PHONE 3515 REDUCED \u2014 Fancy \u2014\u2014\u2014 RE 20 Fabrique Stresk Telephone ao QUEBE Rooms (200 with Bath) MATES 01.00 PER DAY rie decZéxtuh,sataly Christmas du;

Parliament had adopted for the defence of this Province, and His Excellency remarks that in the execution of these measures for the preservation of the country from increased invasion, he had been seconded by the voluntary exertions of all ranks of people in it, in a manner that strengthens their claims to the confidence and affection of their Sovereign.The statement of the provincial revenue of the Crown and expenditure during the last twelve months showed a decrease in the revenue.The deficiency, the more necessary to be made good, from the increased expenses of the Government, he looked to their wisdom and liberality to sup- | ply, and he confidently rusted that y when they copsidered the importance lof the objects for which they were contending they would cheerfully grant to His Majesty sueh aids as they should judge requisite for the public service and adequate to the present emergency.In Sdressing the members of the Assembly, His - cellency says that in ac:ordance with the

Colors,\u201d King Edward VII.as Prince and King had a greatec variety of hats and caps than any other sovereign, \u201cIn London he was very seldom seen by the public except in the conventional silk \u2018high form,\u2019 as superbly glossy as that with which the fifth Lord Hardwicke used to excite our admiration as he strolled along Piccadilly to and from the park,\u201d says Mr.Legge.\u201cTo have \u2018a hat like Hardwicke's\u2019 was the ambition of alt the jeunesse doree in the seventieg, the eighties and the nineties; but they never quite succeed in theid efforts.\u201cThe King wore his silk hat a trifle jauntily, at an angle so slight as to be almost imperceptible, but an angle it was, all the same, and he would hardly have looked himself but for this char- acterigtic, which was imitated by many who Basked in the royal sunshine.Lord Hardwicke, both when he was \u2018Royston\u2019 and when he changed his viscounty for the earldom, displayed a rakishness in the wearing of his hat which none dared to copy.At the Races.\u201cAt race-meetings the Kign, more especially when he was Prince, greatly affected the white \u2018topper, with a black band of about an inch and a quarter in width, and this mode he continued to.favor on certain occas ions, as does the late Mr.Gladstone's friend, Lord Aberdeen, more frequent- 'y, and as did Sir Henry Drummond Wolff.Few of His Majesty's entourage, however, imitated him in this respect.The gray, almost white \u2018bowler,\u2019 with its black band, was not often seen of late years on King Edward's striking head; the black \u2018deerstalker\u2019 or \u2018bowler\u2019 hardly ever, although he wore | it fairly often a quarter of a century ago.Time was when, like the Duke of Sutherland, he donned a fireman's helmet.\u2018 \u201cWhen he w:, in the Highlands the King had, besices his felts, two kinds of cap\u2014one was the \u2018glengarry,\u2019 the other the Scotch \u2018bonnet.\u2019 On the left side of both was a silver escutcheon.These caps, needless to say, were donned only when His Majesty wore that garb of old Gaul which became him particularly well, At his last \u2018Doncaster\u2019 (October, 1909) he wore a \u2018bowler\u2019 of \u2018the brown tint which he affected, a light overcoat and a tie composed of his racing colors.On the Continent, \u201cOn the Continent the King\u2019s headgear was the \u2018Homburg,\u2019 which he\\was the means of introducing to the notice of all his faithful lieges.This was sometimes gray, sometimes of the darkest shades of green.It suited him to perfection, although very many men firid it difficult to \u2018carry it off.Not a few distinguished, blameless personages, indeed, look absolutely \u2018low class\u2019 in this comfortable headgear.Often at Marienbad and Biarritz, and invariably at Ischl, that \u2018green cup in the hills, the Kings dark green hat, sometimes of plush, was bedecked with a feather\u2014the typical headgear in Tyrol.In this His Majesty was always geen in the old days when he was a guest of some member of the great family of Hungarian magnates, the Festetics.\u201cOf his three yachting chps one was of navy blue cloth, one of white beige or flannel and one of white duck.On | these peaked \u2018yachtings\u2019 at least on two of them, was a gold escutcheon, applique on the embroidery running round the cap.Military and Naval, \u201cThe King\u2019s \u2018civil\u2019 hats and caps were said to number thirty; his military and naval hats and caps were as numerous as the Kaiser's.And in all he looked well, notably in the astrakhan cap which, when Prince of Wales, he wore as colonel of his Hungarian hussar regiment, The \u2018crush\u2019 or \u2018opera\u2019 hat the King had almost if not entirely Modem Mtsic-Making

silk.\u2018Straws,\u2019 whether Panamas or others, were never in much favor with the King after he had left his teens behind him.T have seen him as Prince in a tweed cap which, like everything else he wore, suited him perfectly.\u201cOf all the divers kinds of head- covering passed by His Majesty there was one which was less comfortable \u2018than any of the others\u2014the symbol of his sovereignty.This he wore only once, although, like another embryo monarch, he may perhaps have \u2018tried it on\u2019 oftener and wondered whether it was ever destined to grace his head, , Hig Contemporaries.\u201cT have mentioned Lord Hardwicke, who died in 1897, as the wearere of the glossiest hat of his period; and this reminds me that its antithesis covered the head of that distinguished member of the upper house, the late Lord Redesdale, who wore a tail coat morning, afternoon and night.But even Lord Redesdale's hat was a gem compared with that of the late Tom Colling, who, for all his eccentricities, and perhaps partly because of them, was one of the most popular members of the House of Commons in the great days of \u2018Dizzy\u2019 and \u2018Mr.G.\u2019 \u201cOf wholly irreproachable lustre are the conventional \u2018silks\u2019 of Lord Suffield and Mr.Burdett-Coutts.The evergreen peer (King Edward's attached friend for nearly half a century) wears his hat at an almost perilous angle, and the Member for Westminster is only a shade less audacious.\u201cIn his time no one was more irreproachably hatted than the first Lord Cheylesmore, the \u2018Harry Eaton,\u201d who owned White's Club and sat for Conventry.The sheen of his boots was equal to that of his hat.\u201d \u2014_\u2014_\u2014 NEW YEAR HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS FROM NEW ENGLAND TO MONTREAL AND

some valuable property in Winnipeg recently passed.The trap- saction involved $571,000, Conjecture is rife as to what purpose the property will be put.It adjoins on the south the present Royal Bank of Canada branch and extends to the corner of McDermott Avenue.Along that street it has considerable frontage.Whether this is a private investment of Mr.Holt\u2019s or whether it is a purchase on behalf of the Royal Bank, [the Canadian Pacific or other large sociated, has not been disclosed for the satisfaction of the curious.The Dominion Trust Company, of Vancouver, has acquired from the Bank of Commerce the very handsome building recently erected by the Eastern Township Bank in Winnipeg.It lis to be hoped that so handsome a structure will remain very much as it is.For trust company purposes it is ideal.But what is remarkable about it is the price.Mr.H.S, Holt has just paid at the rate of $6.000 per foot for frontage not so favorably located, whereas the Canadian Bank of Commerce sold the Township building on the basis of $3.888 per foot, allowing $125,000 for the building, which is a low figure.Purchasers of such a building are, no doubt, few and far between, but it is generally conceded that the Vancouver company secured a bargain, NATURAL GAS IN .L C.R.WORKSHOPS.Furnishes Heat, Light and Power at Big Plant of Government Railway, Moncton, N.B,, Dec.27\u2014The workshops of

in beauty of conception and excellence of execution.The musical ! numbers given were topically arranged.The opening selections from \u201cThe Message of the Angels,\u201d by Mr.Wm.Reed, lead from the yearning for the Messiah to the meeting of the great expectancy in five numbers from Han- , del'e masterly \u201cMessiah;\u201d and these | were followed by Mozart's fine chorus \u201cGlorious Is Thy Name,\u201d the gloria of the Twelfth Mass.The well-balansed choir of thirty- two voices regularly under the master- ty direction of Mr, Chas.H.Thorn, and so well supported by the able or.gsnist, Mr.R.Burston, merited the thanks of the pastor for the very religious message so effectually and appropriately given at this season.Rev.Mr.Cobbledick's brief but il- luminative addresses interspersed

kindness which had enabled to plan and carry out such a successful Christmas Day.Dr, Falconer, in his reply, referred to the unbounded generosity of those Quebec and Montreal friends who, always

team decisively by a score of 7 goals to 3 in the opening match.Aftor Jos Malone wiped off the Ottawa Seed in the second period and put Quedec ahead thirty second after, it was : gractically ail Quebec, although the sunners-up of last year tried hard at the beginning of the third period to stave off the defeat which stared them in the face, Darragh in particular play- tag a plucky and consistent game right up to the finish.MALONE, ' Quebec's \u201cpatched-up team\u201d exceed- wd all the expectations of their most ardent supporters and took all the heart out of the Ottawas, who imagined they were coming down here like the wolf on the fold.While the team play of the locals was not as good as thet of the Senators, whose front line & superior brand of combina- Le, their solid defense and the bril- Kant individual work of Joe Malone M4 contre were altogether too much for the visitors and from the time that Mummery took the ice in the second period Quebec speeded up so effectually that the Ottawa defense soon be- to wear a worried look.Orent credit should be given to Paddy Moran, whose sterling game between the nets was one of the chief factors in his sille\u2019s success.Jap Maleme was easily the best man on ice and his eontrol of the puck was wonderful.Time after thme he roblgd the visitors with the peculiar swobp of bis and dodged clear through the Otlawa men swarming about him to fire in a hot shot at Lesuewr, He was one of the most classy gosl-getters in the league last year and be had daveloped a lot since, be- ides gaining both in «eight and It was his spectacular scoring of two goals in haif a minute during the gocond period that gave Quebec the fmpetus they needed.for the game was really won in this period, which Began with Ottawa having a lead of ong goal, Hardly had play been resumed when Quebec equalized on a sebound.For a while Ottawa made frantic efforts to score again and the Quebec goal was in danger several times, but Moran cleared with repeated success until Lake came up and tried a shot which was stopped by the Quebec guardian only to have Deanison get past on the rebound.With Ottawa leading by three goals 10 Quebec's two, Joe Hall came up with à rush, and, drawing the defense, passed to Malone, who connected in fifty seconds.The Quebec forwards away at once from the face-off and thirty seconds Malone was in the enamy's nets once more, with the shot that gave Quebec a lead that was mever overtaken, While the visitors mever found the net again Quebec scored another before the end of the second period and two more in the The victory was a surprise to most of the spectators, who had thought that the chances favored Ottawa, the latter being represented by practically the whole of their last year's team and ec having lost three of their mpionship team through the Patsick raids, What hntlé betting there wes on Quebec was therefore due mere to sentiment than to the opinion \u2018that the locals would

executive showed good judgment in refusing to take him off.When it is considered that he has been shifted all over the ice the last few days and has been more used to playing in centre ice than along the boards there is every reason to, believe that once he gets familiar with his position he will give Malone a lot of support.Hall, though not quite ss spectacular as usual, did a lot of real hard defense work and stopped many a dangerous rush, besides carrying the war into the enemy's territory on many occasions, Marks showed both speed and scoring ability.and passed much better than he had been doing in practice.He also, like the other forwards, helped out the defense a lot at times, especially when the speedy Ottawn forwards had worked in to shooting range.Rocket Power played the firsy period at cover and showed that he has a lot left in him yet, though he has only practiced once or twice.The only other player tried out by the Quebec team was Creighton, who went on to get a little experience at the end of the game.He seemed a little over-anxious to make good, but should soon get over that.All three Ottawa forwards played well together, but Ronan was too closely watched to do much scoring.The Quebec defense seemed to make a set at Broadbent and had him looking rather harassed at times, but he showed real class and, judging from \u2018Baturday\u2019s display, will fit in well with the Ottawa line.Lesueur in goal stopped shot after shot and looked almost impregnable for a time until the Quebec forwards \u201cgot his goat\u201d in the second period.Neither Shore nor Lake were up to their old form, though the former made some fine runs snd opened the scoring for his team.; Good as Quebec are they bave yet something to learn from the Ottawa men in the matter of team play.When they have played a few more matches together they should give any of their competitors a hard run for the \u2018cup.So long as they avoid the danger of getting a swelled head and redouble their efforts to improve themselvgs they have a pretty good chance of keeping the cup here another year.SUMMARY: Piret Period.1.\u2014Ottawa, Lake .255 2\u2014Ottawa, Broadbent .6.05

period that he was on the ice Rockett showed that with a little more practice he would travel with the best of them.Considering that it was only his second or third time on the ice this year he displayed splendid form.He will probably assist Quebec in Montreal on Wednes\u2014 The Quebec executive must be glad to see their efforts rewarded in the way they were on Saturday night.They have had a hard row to hoe and been to endless trouble to repair the fosses caused by the defection of the contract-Jumpers.The wisdom of their selection of the team and the judgment thay showed during the match were well justified by the results.Jou Malone, although not yet at the height of his game, is probably the best forward in the game today.However the game may be going he lets up and it is often when things look most critleal that he comes to the rescue, Witness the goal he scored in the last few etconds of the famous match at Ottawa last year which was the mesns of getting Quebec the championship when the spectators were getting ready to leave the rink under the impression that the Senators had won the victory.Joe mever flrs the man, It io always the io takes an awfai lot of hard

setual results scored up against the guesses of the competitors in the Chronicle's score guessing competi- tien, for which a seasen ticket to all the home gamas of the Quebec Club ls the prize offered by the Chronicle, it is apparent that the guessing competition is going to be a whole lot closer than some of the games on which it is based.TEN CORRECT GUESSES.With something over 200 contestants in the game\u2014many having fallen by the waysidé because they neglected to meet the condition that each competitor must make at least one guess on each game of the six, nearly all are still very much in the running for the prize.Out of all these guesses, only ten coupons have been received that had the right score on either of the first three games, which were played Saturday night.Only one in the entire contest picked the winning score of Quebec and Ottawa.This, in all probabilty, was because the fans had little hope that Quebec would be able to pull the opening game out of the fire.Nine out of ten guesses picked Ottawa to win.The result was that the line of optimists who backed the home team made a good gain.Take the Chateau man with the rabbits foot, for instance.He is doing a wholesale business in coupons, and turned in a bundle big enough to choke a horse, but not one of them had Quebec tu win.So, although he did pick the WandereraTecumseh game correctly, his bad guess on the local game put him in a hole, and as he didn\u2019t hit the Toronto-Canadiens game right, he will have to do some talt guessing to catch up with the procession.- .A Youthful Guesser.Out in Montealmville, however, there's a youngster who's:s0me guesser.He was a bit \u2018wild in the Ottawa- Quebec\" game, was Master Mullally, but he did some close figuring on the other two, and handed in a correct guess on each of the Wanderers-Te- sumsehs and Toronto-Canadiens games.There are two other contestants who have guessed two out of three right, but each of these turned in a wad of guesses on eich game, while Master Mullally contented himself with two on each.Only four other contestants have turned in a correct guess on one ot the three games, But the number of gussers who have approximated the scores within one or two is surprising.In fact there is hardly a contestant who hasn't a gocd chance to win\u2014 especially as there are three more guesses to go into the reckoning\u2014the No.4 Coupon published on Saturday, the No.5 today and the No.6 and finsl coupon to-morrow.While it is possible that some contestant may win the prize by turning in only one or two guesses on each game, the best chance naturally belongs to him who gets all the coupons he can and guesses right down the line.Some of those who know they are behind the post want to get busy and make up for lost time.Mark the Closing Times.The fifth coupon, printed to-day, must be turned in before midnight tonight.The sixth and last coupon, to be printed to-morrow, must be turned in at the Chronicle office by Wednesday at 6 p.m.The Chronicle office will not be en Tuesday night, it being New ear\u2019s Eve, and there will be no issue of the Chronicle Wednesday morning.Now there are two ways to get your coupon fn.\u2018There is à letter slot in the front door of the Chronicle office \u2014the-inside door.You can put your guess in there and it will be received all right, Or you can put it in the Post Office during Tuesday evening, being sure that the right postage 1s put on the envelope that that it is addressed ta the Contest Editor of the Quebec Chronicle.Coupons will be received that are in the letter box at the front door of the Chronicle, or in the mails Wednesday, so that the last minute of receiving coupons will be Wednesday at 6 p.m.But remember, this applies only to the coupon printed on

to Quebes now, THE BEATS TECUMSEH WANDERERS WIN, 7 TO 4, BUT THEIR HAIR TURNED GREY DOING IT, Toronto, Dec.20\u2014Erratic shooting, coupled with poor work in goal by Manager Nicholson, lost Tecumsehs probably the best chance they will have this winter to best the Wanderers, of Montreal, in their opening N.H.A.game at the \u2018Arena last night before the largest crowd which ever attended a match in Toronto, there being close to 4400 present.The score was 7 to 4 in favor of the easterners.: For the first two periods the Wanderers gave those who had seen them play Canadiens the impression of stalling, but this may have been only fancy.At any rate, in the third per- fod, with Wanderers leading § to 4, the Tecumsehs uncovered a burst of rushes that only hard luck prevented resulting in scores.This attack by the Indians so unnerved President Lichtenhein of the | visitors that he vacated his box seat and sat on the rail with Dicky Boon and Sprague Cleghorn.It looked worse when Gordie Roberts retired with a bad knee, but Art Ross only let Roberts have a short resting spell when he yelled to Boon to get out \u201cGordie.\u201d When Roberts returned, he by a great individual rush, scored the goal that gave the Wanderers two of a margin, and practically put them on easy strect.Tecumsehs Deserved Victory, On the form displayed by the two teams Tecumsehs were entitled to a victory, as they not once, but half a dozen times, were right by the Wanderer defence, only to miss the net.Several times they also had Cadotte drawn out from the goal.only to miss s score.This sort of work was in evidence every period, with the third being their worst.Cadotte was the busiest of the two goalkeepers, and had he handled himself like Nicholson did at the other end of the rink the Tecumsehs would have won, but Satday night he was no sieve.Tecumsehs are unlike the Torontos in many ways.They have not the speed of the blue shirts, but they are more experienced in the N.H.A.bran of hockey, besides being much heavier, This weight they used to advantage Saturday night, and right at the start Odie Cleghorn and Art Ross were given a couple of jars that.made them think that it would be a real game.This sort of work was kept up all evening, but the heavy checking was spoiled by a lot of tripping by both teams.Wanderer Forwards Wild.In the first two periods the Wanderes defence opened up too easily, while their forwards were very wild in their shooting, but in the third period they were more accurate.The Wanderer defence was not an air tight one by the way the Tecumsehs wiggled by, but then what was the use of getting in close when you can't shoot straight.Such was the case with the Tecumsehs.The Indian defence was much better than the forwards, and if it had not been for the great rushing of the McNamara boys the game would have lost much of its spectacular features.The McNamaras were, along with Throop, the pick of the Indians, although Smith worked hard, but spoiled his work by very bad shooting at critical stages.Roberts did the best work for the Wanderers, although Hyland pulled off several sensational rushes.Ross did not shine like he did.against Canadiens, as he was too closely watched.The line-up : UEBEC CHRONICLE.IENCE WINS EXPER E FOR CANADIENS LUCK ALSO PLAYED PART IN 8 TO 5 VICTORY OVER TORONTO.Montreal, Dec.29.\u2014 Experience, combined with considerable luck, won rather a decisive victory for the Cansdiens over the Trontos by à score of B to &, in the opening of the hockey season at the Arens on Saturday night.After the close match played at Toronto, Manager Kennedy took no chance and marc.ied out his strongest team, which included Payan, who is in Montreal on a visit.The Torontn team, which is one of the newcomers in the national Hockey Association, in making their initial local appearance before nearly four thousand enthusiasts, created au isvorsble impression and many were the predic- tious that each game would bring about marked improvement in their play.The game was replete with rushes on the part of the players of both teams that were dazzling and at times during the three periods the visitors kept the more experienced team stepping all the time to stand off their rushes.Where the Torontos showed the greatest weakness was in checking.Two men would go after one of the local team\u2019s wings.leaving the centre open.which afforded many wpportu- nities for passes which proved disastrous to the visitors.Holmes in goal was the weak man on the Toronto line-up.When given plenty of time he would stop well enough, but when crowded he seemed to be at a loss to know what to do after making a stop and in failing to clear, held the play around his nets more than a more experienced man would have done, Canadiens Late in Starting.In the early stages the Canadiens anpeared to be uader restraint and did ot cettle down to their work until well on in the second twenty minutes, during which time they played the visitors off their feet, assuming a lead that was never overcome.In the closing period the visitors held their own, each team scoring a single goal.With the exception of the first few minutes the game wag fast, although at times the Forontos seemed to tire and the forwards would drop back on the defense, which left the locals many chances to shoot.In the opening period the Canadiens were the first to score, Pitre making one of his shots from the side which Holmes did not see, and it dropped into the nets.The visitors then became the aggressors and for nearly \u2018five minutes had all the best of the play.McGiffin, from 3 face-off near the Canadiens goa! after an off-side, got the best of the draw and evened matters up.This was followed by another secured by a combined play of McGiffin and Wilson, the latter drawing Vezina out of the nets and thus getting a clear shot.Pitre Fined for Mixing, When the teams came on the ice for the second period the Canadiens were without Lalonde, Payan taking his place, which seemed to add speed to the line.Pitre was the first to score, putting his team in the lead again.The Toronto players seemed to have settled down and soon forced the locals to the défense.Foyston accepted an opportunity to tally on a pass from Wiison, and the score was once more tied.From the face-off, McGiffin scored in less than a minute, putting Toronto in the lead.Pitrewho had been mixing it up all through the period.was given a major fine.Shortly after he again went after Me.Giffin, stretching him out, and was given another major fine and twenty minutes\u2019 rest.Lalonde replaced Pitre and started the fireworks.Long Rush for a Score.Shortly after his coming on, Payan, on a rush nearly the whole length of ONDAY, DECEMBEK sv, 1912.ll

in a comfortable lead.Although the play was fast enough in the closing period each tesm only scored once, the visitors seemingly wanting to hold the Canadiens\u2019 score down rather than add to theirs.Several changes were made by the Torontos without result, while the Canadiens finished up with the team that had started out.Within less than a minute after play was resumed Laonde tallied for the Canadiens, assuring victory.McLean was sent in to fill Davidson's place on the Toronto team and started out by securing their only goal in this period.He is a likely looking player and secured his

Dec.20\u2014In the last half minute of play Captain Frith, of the Toronto University hockey team, scored the goal which gave his side the victory over the Crescents of Brooklyn, champions of New York Amateur Hockey League, at St.Nicholag Rink last night.The score was 5 to 4, The Half Mooners missed the veterans Doe Mills, Bob Wall end Dobby in their lineup, but Dufresne, the stocky French-Canadian, proved a tower of strength and was largely responsible for the lead which the Brooklynites got in the first period of play.Carhart, the former Yale player, who replaced Doc Mills in goal, played a consistent game, and so did Brown in Bob Wall's old place at point, but in a mix-up Brown got hurt so badly that he had to leave the ice, and the Varsity team dropped Jupp, The latter came back in the second half, however, while the Crescents had substitutes.The Torontonians struck their stride after they got ae- customed to the rink, and though the Crescents put up a stiff argument the visitors forged up even and then at last got the extra point.While the match was not a partie- ularly brilliant exhibition of Canada\u2019s great winter game, it was à good game to watch and excited considerable interest and enthusiasm from a crowded gallery.The lineup : Toronto.Crescents, Goal, W.Parker.H.Cathart Point.B.Frith.Tod Brown Co v oint.E.W.German.E.Dufresas

London, Dec.29.\u2014The two survive ors of the Danish steamer Volmer, who were picked up in an open boat fifty miles to the southwest of the Lizard, and landed at Newlyn by a trawler Saturday, relate terrible experiences.The Volmer was wrecked on Thursday in the great gale which raged in the English channel.The crew abandoned the steamer, and one of the boats with nine occupants was swampad, all the men being drowned.The second boat, with the captain and seven others aboard, managed to weather the heavy seas.They had no oars and no water, and they were unable to obtain food from the air-tight tank.The chief engineer died and the chief officer went mad.He tried to throttle the captain.Eventually all died or were washed overboard except the captain and one other.They also were washed out of the boat several times during Thursday night, but managed to acramble back.They drifted until Saturday morning, suffering the agonies of thirst and exposure.\u2018They were almost to their necks in water and lost consciousness from exhaustion while being dragged through the ses into the rescuing boat.NEW MILEAGE TO BREAK RECORDS THREE RAILWAYS BUILD 2700 MILES ADDITIONAL TRACK.AGE NEXT YEAR.Winnipeg, Dec.28\u2014Next year will be a record breaker in the way of construction because, under present arrangements, the three railway companies, the Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific will together build 2700 miles of additional trackage.This will mean an increase of 725 miles over this year's construction work, which totalled 1,- 978 miles and was built at a cost of nearly $30,000,000.In 1913 the three roads will spend approximately $41,- 000,000 on new construction work.Out of the 2700 miles of new lines to be constructed throughout the praitie provinces and British Columbia next year, the Canadian Pacific Railway alone will build between 1,000 and 1,100 miles of additional trackage, and the balance will be the work of the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific.One of the chief undertakings of the Canadian Pacific will be the double tracking of the main line between Brandon and Calgary.RUSSIAN MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR RESIGNS, St.Petersburg,

was ashore.the | ship had been breasted out, a sailor had been stationed at the main gangway, and that period of repose, the nearest to tranquillity that an \u2018Atlantic liner ever approaches when she comes alongside on a Sunday morning, decks washed down and baggage oft.had arrived for most of the crew.But the barber of the Minnertonka still sat in his shaving chair, his hands clasped behind his head, pipe in mouth.He ceased puffing now and agsin to address a word or a chirp to two friends that hung in cages in the sun- filled 1bom in the after part.of the deck house amidships, \u201cThät one by the dor is linnet\u2014a brown linnet such as you read of in tales of English parishes,\u201d said the sea tonsor.\u201cThis one by the window is a German roller, a canary.\u201cThat linnet is my call bird.It calls the birds that light on the ship inside.I hang its cage in the open port.It whistle few bars and the birds come in.Then I close the ports and, presto! they are prisoners, \u201cI've caught hundreds of them: supply the London Zoo right along.On the last trip but two to the eastward the linnet lured a snowbird.It was the first one the London Zoo had had in sixteen years.\u201d The barber said there had been two snowbirds, cock and hen.The hen seemed the weaker of the pair, the one less likely to survive, but after the cock had been fed a while on ane kind of seed it geban to drop.The diet was changed, but the bird died.\u201cBirds are my hobby,\u201d continued the barber, \u201cWhen I first came to sea I didn't know anything about birds, but when they came aboard, blown off shore, sometimes alone, sometimes in pairs, again in regular clouds, and they were so easily captured, I grew fond of them and studied them.I go up to the New York Zoo and spend a couple of hours at a stretch watching one thrush.\u201cIf any one aboard the ship catches a bird he brings it here, for everybody knows the barber will give it good care.What they want when they first light on a ship is not food, but water.You can't give them ship's water raw.It must be pure.So every drop I give my birds is boiled.\u201cAnother bird I caught which the London Zoo was glad to have was a saw-whet owl.This German roller, I suppose, was worth between two and three pounds.It has a range of seventeen or eighteen notes, and at home we don't reckon them as you do here.QUEBEC

homing pigeon once.It was near Whitsuntide, at which season they hold races at home.A carrier flew aboard as we were entering the Channel.Tt struck the mast or something and was stunned.I cared for it for a day, until [ thought it was strong enough to fly again.According to the rules of the English pigeon clubs, if a bird in flight is detained by a captor and then released and shouls get in first it is awarded the race, as it cannot be the pigeon\u2019a faultiif it is detained.So I reasoned that the bird might belong to some poor man and Î would give him a possible chance for winning the race.\u201cI set the bird free, but it came back on board.We were then about five miles from Dover.The second time I took the homer aft and let 1t go.Directly the bo\u2019sun came to me and said: \u2018Barber, do you know that bird has lighted on a ledge on the stern?I said, \u2018Let it stay there, then! Tt seemed that it had been disabled and couldn't fly far, \u201cWhen T got ashore and was going up from Tilbury Docks I saw a letter in the London Mail from a chap who had been aboard a P.& O.boat going in, and he had caught on deck a homer with a note on its leg saying that I had fed the bird and given it its liberty on such a date, stating my name and ship.The writer in the Mail wanted to learn who owned the bird so he and backs, convoy liners over and back in the same way.The sgills like immigrant ships best, for the more thrown \u201cThe first time I caught any birds 1 fed them and turned them loose, but they all settled to roost in a coii hanging from the derrick boom.Next morning imagine the laws against capturing birds apply to the Leastwise it's humanity to care for might restore it.Well, directly letters began to arrive addressed to me and , asking all the fool questions you ever heard.They came from clergymen, | doctors, bird fanciers, sportsmen, men out of jobs and old maids, \u201cI answered the first ones, and then | grew tired of the job.There was one chap who wrote asking how he coule become a ship's barber.He gave his age, weight color of hair and complexion, and his height as five feet four.' perience as a barber.} about twenty years to make a ship's barber.I took the advice of some | shipmates and we got up a letter tell- | ing the writer that no man under six | feet could become a ship's barber.| \u201cThat's what I got for trying to do | somebody a favor.It\u2019s the last time for me.\u201d | EXDeCt Turks Wl Hoty Pe Tem (Continued From Page 1.) exchanging long cipher telegrams with their respective governments, in order to be fully informed on all, points and in complete agreement.| They seem to be nervously apprehen- | sive that they will be deprived of the fruits of their victories by European | | intervention.One of the delegates said to-night: \u201cIt is difficult to say whether our struggle will be harder against Mus-; sulman oppression or against European intervention, which already sev- | eral times has prevented us from shaking off the Ottoman yoke.Al- He said that he had two months\u2019 ex.|} Now it takes | | | Snowshoes, | Moccassins, Indian Slippers, etc.J.B.Fur Floor Rugs, Musk-Ox, Goat Robes, etc.and MITTENS, short and gauntlets.- = SPECIALITY - - Foot Muffs - = COACHMEN'S OUTFIT - - Buffalo, Black Bear, [} Raccoon Coats, Plucked Beaver Coats Fur lined coats, all fur, all sizes and all prices, Caps in Mink, PERSIAN | LAMB, LABRADOR OTTER, SEAL, | BEAVER, ete., Gauntlets, Cloves and Mittens Toboggans, E 145 St.Joseph Street, St.Roch.QUEBEC though our armies have victoriously reached Tchatalja, Europe might wish to return Adrianople to the Moslems, forgetting or ignoring what that not give in.\u201cAn Eye For An Eye.\u201d \u201cIf official Europe likes horrors it shall have them.We wili fight to the bitter end.An eye for an eye and a 11 she public were aware of the great sdvantage of Torie Lenses over the ordinary kind, Torics would be the only kind in demand The foeus of thoss glasses is absolute.while in the ordinary flat glasses it exists in à lim- \u2018ted space only, These are recommended by oculists as the only lens œ preseribe.tooth for s tooth.\u201d The Balkan delegates fear that Ausfl | tria\u2019s attitude is encouraging the Turk tris\u2019s attitude is encouraging the Turks to cesist.If reports from Vienna are true, Austria still persists in the enlargement of the frontiers of autonomous Albania to such an extent that it will absorb the territories claimed by Greece, Servia and Montenegro, and as Montenegro treats the proposition of the exchange of Scutari for Mount Lowehen as \u201ca black- m'aling proposition,\u201d the difficulties raised by Austria's attitude have rather increased than diminished.| According to the Vienna Neue Frie { ) N \u2014\u2014\u2014 _ _ __\u2014\u2014\u2014____] P.C LACASSE Optician ani Ostan teint 40 FABRIQUE STREET \u2018| 820 St.Joseph St.\u2014_-=2== | NEW YEAR AT HOGAN°S Store Automatic planos, ergsas, Edison and Victor Phorographs, Vietrolas, and over 15,000 records to select from.Fill With The Choicest Daliccies For | Now Year Markets | IF YOU WANT A GOOD ARTICLE GO TO HOGAN Order Ear.y and Often | 1 respectfully offer the following: \u2014 ) would mean for the Christian population.But we know the value of the so-called European guarantees for Turkish reforms, and this time we will D ec26xth,sat, monx3 Jaeger Dreibund and the Triple Entente with New Year Presents - a large and powerful Albania, while ; | Ladies\u2019 Spencers, Men's Dressing Gowns, Ladies\u2019 Slippers, , M: Ladies\u2019 Gauntlet Gloves, Men's Sii Mittens, Ladies\u2019 White Gauntlet Mitts, Men's Fleecy Wool Scarfs, Ladies\u2019 Coat Sweaters, Men's Wool Taffeta Shirts, Ladies\u2019 Combination Coat Presse a conflict exists between the | the powers of the Entente urge a {| greatly restricted Albania.)
