Cape Town, Nov. 20.--Chance brought me a letter from a Scotch merchant who travelled from Viadi- vostok through Russia, beginning in Augnst. The writer says: "At Vladivostok I saw 75,000 tons of sup- plies of all sorts lying on the quays unhoused and unprotected. Much of them had been there two years, and some of the perishable, were goods like rice and coffee; I siw 100 motor press train nine days to get to Pet- rograd." a ---------------- _& rich man is unable to of- fer anything better than THE DAILY B THE CONFESSIONS OF ROXANE (By Frances Walter) OUR THEORIES. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate), "My theory is that he was in love with her before she married," Ken- neth went on, "and that she com- mitted some act which embarrassed him frightfully, but which was insuf- ficient to kill his devotion for her. Possibly money was involved. I have heard gossip which indicated = that she was under financial obligations to him. It is hard to understand just how such could be the case. I have no doubt that after she was free to. marry once more Higginbotham renewed his suit, and that he failed to win her. He, therefore, has found it impossible to be near her or to see her, for, as you can easily imagine, he is a man of few words and deep feeling." "But why should she refuse to marry him? You and I both agreed that the good woman was a gold hunter, and certainly Mr. Higgin- botham has the gold." "Yes, but every woman, no mat- ter who she is, has her own particu- lar aversions, While I believe Mrs. Palmer is deliberately trying to marry a rich man, at the same time it is easy to believe that she might not accept some rich men, and Hig- ginbotham is the kind that would not appeal to her." "Why, he is perfectly fine and handsome," I exclaimed impulsively. "Why should she not be willing to marry him?" Kenneth looked at me in aston- ishment, "Why, I did not know you were such an admirer of Mr. Higginbo- tham," he remarked coldly. "But, Kenneth," I protested, as we continued our conversation about Mr, Higginbotham and Mrs. Palmer, "I am not an admirer of Mr. Higgin- botham. I do think that he is hand: some, and he certainly is a quiet, un- assuming, dignified gentleman, and with his wealth he would make any woman a husband that she not only would respect, but admire." "But Mrs. Palmer is not looking for someone to respect," he returned, "Nor does she wish to admire any- body except herself. She wants a husband who will show her off; who will dress her in gorgeous raiment; surround her with an army of ser vants, and dance her bidding day Bg and night." "And would not Mr. Higginbotham = J) prove to be such a husband?" "No; he is far too sensible. He has been trained in the school of busi- ness. He controls everything that he is interested in, and he would expect to have' some sort of control over his wife. Why, the first thing Mrs. Palmer would want to do would be to move to Chicago or New York. She could not bear to live here, The orbit is too small for her. She must shine over a wider expanse of space. It is not impossible that therein lay one of the obstacles to this match. If Mrs. Palmer had insisted as a condition of their marriage that Higginbotham move from EnviHe, I believe he would have hesitated to marry her at all. This is his town. His father founded it, and' Higgin- botham has an interest in everything here: not only a personal interest, but a financial interest. _It would be virtually impossible for him to quit Enville." "Well, it doesn't really matter to us after all, does it, Kenneth, dear?" I inquired. "I for one, am glad that he and Mrs. Palmer are not mar- ried. And T suppose at this particu- lar moment that Mrs. Palmer is very glad, too, for she is pursuing larger game. If she ¢aptures Mr. Gordon she will be able to draw a check in her own name large enough to buy Mr. Higginbotham without danger of an overdraft."

Constipation is one of the com- monest ills of mankind, and one too often allowed 'to go uhlooked after until some serious complication sets in. If the bowels are properly looked after there will be no constipation, jaundice, sick or bilious headaches, heartburn, coated tongue, sour stom- ach, floating specks before the eyes, ete, . Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills will keep your bowels so regulated that in no time the constipation will dis- appear entirely, Miss Emma E. Melanson, Halifax, N.S., writes: "I am now 20 years of age, and since I was 16 1 have been greatly troubled with constipation, so much so that at times I would be in bed three or four days a month. 1 tried all the old-fashioned remedies, Lcastor oil, cascara, etc, with only temporary relief nntil my sister-in- law gave me some of Milburn's Laxa- Liver Pills. From the first they seem- ed beneficial and I gave them a fair trial. This was two years ago, and with an occasional dose I have kept entirely free from constipation for the period mentioned." Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25¢c a vial at all dealers, or mailed dir- ect on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. LETTERS WERE RECOVERED Written by Canadian and Recovered From Dead German, This is the story of two letter: that will reach Canada shortly. They have each two bullet holes in them unspoken evidence of one of the war's tragedies, and they contain the last messages of a soldier of an On tario 'battalion to two women, be lieved to be his mother and his sweetheart. This soldier, with others was sent out to make a sortie from our trenches in the St. Laurent sec tor of the line. It may have been be cause of a premonition, that strange clairvoyance so @ften encountered at the front, or in pursuance of a cus tom before going out, that this sol dier wrote two letters. Leaving them unsealed for submission later to the censor he carried them wit} him into action. He never returned He has a soldier's grave out some where behind the German front line A few days after he was reported missing it was decided to extend one of our posts in that area two hun dred yards along the trench in which the enemy's posts were located. This dangerous task was given to. twc young officers of an Ontario battalior and twenty-e'Sht men. This little party found the enemy trench strong ly held, but, in daylirit, without any artillery help, they tackled a great- ly superior force and bombed their way down the trench for a greater distance than the two hundred yards required. In the course of the action, and of several counter-attacks, both officers were wounded, while one of their men was killed and six others were wounded. The enemy sustained remarkably high, even in bombing warfare. The official record shows that the bodies of thirty dead Ger- mand vere jemoved from that part of the trench retained by us, while many others were seen in a portion of the trench bombed but not oc- cupled. In the captured trench were found also severely wounded Germans, an officer and two men. When the offi- cer's clothing was searched, as the custom is, the two letters, written by the soldier of the New Ontario Battalion the night before he was killed, were found among the pris- oner's papers. A bullet had gone through the centre of the envelopes, Another had clipped off a bit at the end, but the addresses were still legible. The two letters were sealed, and have been forwarded to the per- sons to whom they were addressed, with a statement telling of how they passed into the hands of the enemy and now were recovered, after the writer had been laid in an unknown grave. That he survived two bullet wounds in the breast is not consid- ered possible.! The letters will he snd reading to the soldier's home olk. casualties Did Not Let Go. There is in Paris a highly esteem- ed mugic-hall actress called Mistin- guett.

In these days when kerosene, gas, and electricity take so large a place in the lighting of the world, there is danger that the tallow dips of our grandmothers may be forgotten, Candlemaking was the great house- keeping event of the fall of the year, The light and cheer of the long win- ter evenings in every home of Can- ada depended upon the candles which the frugal housewives madé and stored away in boxes for the use of the family, What a day it was for the children when the great brass kettle was brought out and hung upon the crane in the huge fireplace, where the great logs were crackling and the blaze was ascending through a chimney as largé as some modern rooms, Be- fore the dawn of the day, the whole family were astir, . writes Mary B. Claflin. The great fire was lighted, the frugal breakfast was eaten, and the children were all excitement. The kettle was first partly filled with water, and, when this was hot, cakes of tallow were broken up and thrown into the water to melt and float upon the top. It was never set- tled to the satisfaction of the candle- makers which was better for giving hardness and consistency to the candles--beeswax or bayberry tal- low, The wicks had been cut the even- ing before, diped in saltpeter, and twisted over wooden rods, which were kept from year to year, tied in bunches and laid up above the great beams in the kitchem. , These rods were placed on two poles, supported by chairs, and were few or many, ace cording to the number of candles to be made. Each rod held six or eight wicks, and. the wicks were two or three inches apart. The kettle was taken from ' the crane and set down near the poles, Now all was ready. Mrs. Jones, wear- ing a scant gown covered with a blue-checked apron and looking very happy, took her seat on a flat-bot- tomed, high-backed chair beside the rods, and began to work. Beginning with the rod at her right hand, she dipped the wicks deftly into the kettle and watched carefully to see that each wick hung straight and clear of the others; and 80 she went down the line. By the time' the last rod was reached the wicks on the first rod were cool and ready for another dipping. This pro- cess was repeated until the slow- growing candles had attained the proper size, Meanwhile the kettle had been refilled with boiling water and freshly melted tallow. Towards the end of the pole, there were always several rods filled with tiny candles to be given to the chil. dren as rewards of merit. When the children had been especially good, they were given a little candle to light them to bed. As long as it lasted, they could tell stories. It took a whole day to finish the candles. They were then left undis- turbed until the next morning, when they were taken from the rods and packed away, hard and white, ready or use.
