BEARISH l"P BRAYELl"
11 would be difficult if not im
possible to draw an -acceotable par
allel between the condition of popu
lar sentiment in the United States
arising from the Lusitania affair,
aud the effect produced upon popu
lar thought in Canada by recent
i.ews from the front. The European
v ar lias lately been brought home
on both countries, it ia true, in a
--tartling and impressive manner,
tut with results almost wholly
dissimilar.
At no time Binte the beginning of
last August has Canada failed to
recognize the weight of its responsi
lilities or to realize the conse
quences of its position; yet for
mouths, to the mass of the Canadia
people, war had appeared something
' be regarded academically—as
:>omething very far distant. There
were for mouths no greater signs of
v ar visible ;u Windsor than ^in De
troit, in Toronto than in Cleveland,
in .Montreal than in Montpelier, in
Vancouver than >u Seattle; but be
'ie;'.tu the surface were continuous
ly iii action farces that represented
tae measure of the loyalty and de
votion of this inportnat unit of the
Uritish empire. Out of the beat
tn ">aths and far from the public
view the voutii ol the Dominion
were beiug assembled in training
camps. From Canadian ports a
few short months ago. the first
contingent of the Canadian legion
>\as Lome across the Atlantic. It
set-rued only a step in distance or
time from Salisbury ^lain to
the trench-scarred Ypres district,
and only a flashing moment from
tin- announcement that the Canadian
volu. teers were on the first line to
the i cceipt of news that in a stand
wiucL saved the day for Britain and
Ler allies, 600v of the brave fel
lows had fallen.
Advices from the Dominion say
taut r'or a week after the coming
<•£ this news the people were un
ible to grasp their capabilities or
;o vbw their future in a proper
liyrlii. A period of pessimism set
!ii, aad although conscious that a
large portion of the world was ring
ing with applause, the recovery
.vas slow. But the recovery came,
it nd it is complete. There is no
attempt in Canada to disguise the
gravity of the situation, no at
tempt to evade the sacrifices it de
mauds, but now that the cost may
be cieurU estimated, there is great
er determination than ever to go on
with "the task in hand, and to
cling to it steadfastly against all
odds aud all discouragements until
it is finished.
Canada knows what it has to
neet. It is troubled with no doubts.
And because it is dealing with con
ditions and not with theories, with
certainities and not with probabili
ties, its head is erect once more,
its h< '>1 s are high, and it is more
confident than ever of the right
eousness of the cause to which it
is giving so much of the best it
h.is to ttive. C. S. Monitor.

A Mother's
Mistake
Br MARGARET C DEVEREAUX
I
Farmer Perks called his son Thomas
to hlin one bright spring morning and
said to him, "Thomas, I wish you to
go to town and sell the calf." Thomas
got himself ready to go to town, put
ting on his store clothes and brushing
himself up so that he looked very well.
He was a handsome youth, and his
mother dreaded that some girl on the
way might fancy him and get away
with him. It occurred to her to so
handicap him that he would be In no
condition to respond to such advances.
So she said to him:
"Tom, dear, since you are going to
the city to sell the calf 1 think you had
better take some other farm produce."
Tom expressed a willingness to do
as his mother said, and when he had
taken the calf from tue barn he led It
by the rope about Its neck to tho
house, where she was waiting for him.
She gave him a basketful of eggs and
a lire turkey. Since he must use one
hand to lead the calf and could not
carry the turkey and the eggs in the
other his mother made a sort of turban
of a towel for his head and balanced
the basket of eggs on it. Then she
placed the turkey under the arm not
in vise for leading the calf.
"Mother," said Tom, "I fear that If
I stumble the eggs will fall and be
broken."
"The distance to the city Is short,"
was the reply. "You may walk slowly
and carefully and yet reach the mar
ket in half an hour. And, Tom," she
added, "if a girl offers to relieve you
of a part of your burden refuse her."
Tom, who was a very obliging youth,
suffered his mother to kiss him good
by, for he could not kiss her loaded
as he was, and set forth on his Jour
ney. The calf did not lead easily, and
the turkey tried to get away, so that
between the two difficulties he was in
constant dread iest he drop the eggs.
He bad made but half the Journey
when Anule Plxiey came out of a wood
and, seeing Tom trying to balance the
eggs on his head while hampered by
the calf aud the turkey, began to laugh
at him. Annie was Just fifteen years
old, a very attractive age with girls,
and had a lithe figure that showed to
advantage In her scant costume. More
over, her eyes were full of mischief,
and her lips were a rosy red. Tom
cast a reproachful glance at her, where
upon her heart softened to him, and
she said:
•Toor fellow! lou are surely having
a hard time of It wltli so much to at
tend to. Let me carry some portion of
your burden."
Tom remembered his mother's warn
ing and declined the offer, telling An
nie the reason for his refusal.
"And why did your mother do that?"
asked Annie, who jumped at the true
cause at once.
"I don't kuow," replied Tom. "She
simply warned me. Then she kissed
me goodby and sent me off."
"And did you not kiss her goodby?"
asked the glrL
"How could 1, loaded ac I am ?"
"I see." said Annie. "You can't kiss
any one. If there is any kissing be
tween you and a girl she must do it
all."
"Certainly!" said Tom.
"But you might set down a part of
your load If you won't let me carry It"
"What can I set down? If 1 release
the turkey he will not come back to
me; If the calf he will scamper back
to the farm. As for the eggs, 1 must
use one hand or the other to remove
them from my head, and 1 have shown
you that is impossible without losing
either the turkey or the calf."
"I might take the eggs off your head
and set them on the ground. That
would not be carrying them for you."
"That would not help matters. 1
would still have my hands full."
"I see. You can't kiss any one. If
you are kissed one must kiss you.
Your mother has arranged that she is
the only one to kiss you."
"How Is that?"
"It would not be modest for a girl
to kiss you."
Tom stood still in order that he
might do some thinking. Something
was denied him. Had lie been at lib
ertv t«> take it he would not have'
tfioHghVof flolilg so. "But now tfiitt Hp
was prevented he pliied for It, Annie
stood before him. looking up into his
eyes with hers, and her red lips were
very tantalizing. 'I'Ue longer he thought
the nearer she drew to him. Present
ly her Hps were so close to his ihat he
bent his head and kissed her. Dowu
came the basket of eggs and every one
was broken. Tom let go the cnif and
the turkey to catch it. and the calf ran
back to the farm, while the turkey
scurried off into the woods.
"There." said Tom "See what you
have done!"
"I have done! 1 have done nothing.
I offered to carry a part of your load,
and you would not let nie do so. You
Ittempted to take a kiss without my
consent It seems to me that you are
alone to blame."
Later Tom appeared at home with
out any of his load, but with Annie
Plxley. When his mother asked him
what It all meant he said:
"Dear mother, you made a terrible
mistake. You filled uiy hands and put
a burden on my head so that I could
kiss no one. The girl was so modest
that she would not kiss me, so I was
obliged to kiss her. I dropped the
eggs, and to catch them I let go the
turkey and the calf."
"I see," said his mother.
MACK IS GREAT
HANDLER OF MEN
HE WAS TMIGHT LESSOR
Great Left Handed Twirler Tells of
Stinging Rebuke He Received From
Hi* Old Bots, Which He Will Always
Remember.
"Yea, Connie Mncfe Is a wonderful
manager," assented Eddie riauk, the
former star left handed twirler of the
Philadelphia Athletics and now n mem
ber of the St Louis Federal league
club, who was let out by the Philadel
phia manager last fall, In talking to
members of his team receutly.
Pulls In Harmony.
"He is a quiet, observing man, just
as one would Judge from a look at his
pictures. He pulls in harmony with
ail his players, and it is rarely Indeed
that he gives one a 'calling.'
"Right well I remember the first
and only rebuke Connie ever directed
toward my head. We were playing
in Chicago in 1000, and the gentleman
who was umpiring the game (there is
no need of mentioning his name here)
was calling "balls' on me when the
leather was cutting the plate in half
I raised the 'dickens' with him. and he
kept calling them bad until the seventh
inning, and then I flew off my guard.
I took off my glove and threw It in
the air and was immediately chased
off the fleld.
A Call From Mack.
i "As I walked over to put on my
sweater Connie said in a slow, deliber
ate way. with a piercing note of sar
casm In his voice, 'Nice work, Eddie:
you showed excellent Judgment.'
"That was all. Just seven words; but,
believe me, boys, I'll remember those
seven words as long as 1 live. They
hurt me worse than if he had 'lit In'
and enssed me until be was blue In the
face. I don't retain the'r memory with
any hard feeling toward Mack attach
ed—far from It 1 simply remember
them as forming the most cutting re
buke I have ever received. It taught
me a lesson I never forgot. I never
lost my head to such an extent as to
get myself chased for It
Mark of Weakness.
"And so, fellows, my little word oi
advice to you is that you try to keep
the temperature In the neighborhood of
your cranium in tiie vicinity of TO de
grees F. or lower if possible. This es
pecially applies to the pitchers and
catchers who often are wont to kick up
the dust and create a row over pitched
balls. When a man forces the ump to
sejid hltn to the clubhouse he is hurt
ing his teammates, not himself and
therefore it is his teammates lie must
consider rather than himself.
"To kick and pout at a bad decision
Is only a mark of weakness on the part
of the player, and the possible results
do not Justify it The umpire cannot
change his decision, and to fight him
means to Jeopardize your chances of
fair play. My policy has beeu 'Never
kick on a decision.' and 1 have found
It a very good rule to follow."

Deafness Cannot Be CtlfeJ
by local application* nn they cannot reach
tho diseaaed portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafneaa, and that la
by constitutional remedies. Deafness la
caused by an Inilamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube, when
this tube is Intlamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it la
entirely closed, Deafness Is tho result, and
unless the Inflammation can bo taken out
and this tube restored to Ita normal condi
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
casts out of ton are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfacea.
