salary has always has been transformed into a giant serve the best tea enabled me to live in a modicum of comfort i never thought hie sun would darken in my sky but it has two years ago my mother died and since her going i have been con scious of an unutterable loneliness i have kept on the old home i go to business daily and return home and despite the entreaties of my friends i feel i cannot drag myself out to a show or a party all the old zest has gone nothing but that awful feeling of depression it is with me constantly i take it to bed with me and it gets up with me in the morning is there anything i can do to get rid of it and to regain my former cheerful spirit altogether it is a sad lettter but i think this poor fellow is taking an entirely wrong view of life is it the attitude that his deceased mother to whom he seems to have been passionately devoted would wish him to take i can hardly think so i thilik if he puts that question to himself he will see that he is acting in a wrong way but i have only quoted part of his letter there are traces in jiis letter which would lead one to believe that subconsciously he himself feels that he is acting foolishly it is not enough to know tfiat ones views of life is wrong however one has to know how to correct it and the ter rible thing about one of those fits of depression- is that once a fellow has allowed it to get a hold on him it has tho peculiar power of perpetuating itself until the victim feels that there is simply no way of escape and he might just as well be dead but there is a way of escape it lies within the individual a man caught in the grip ot such a fit of depression must be his own doctor things may appear to be gloomy but there are never really as bad as they seem winter is a dull season everything is dead no trees in leaf no flowers in bloom no singing birds a dull dreary dead season but it is fol lowed by spring with it quickened and renewed life and life is some times like that i think my friend wants to lake a firmer grip on himself the death of his mother was probably a shock to him that had physical effects his vitality may be low and that lowered vitality may have had a reaction up

course for the twentyone persons charged with murder and defended by mr bell all were acquitted so of course they were not murderers but one feels that many of these persons would not be as fortunate in their present classification and status if they had been defended by less able counsel than mr bell who has reviewed a number of the important recent cases in his book newspaper men of the province have long re cognized that when charlie bell was mixed up in a criminal case spect acular copy was sure to break how ever mr bell has allowed little glam our to creep into his book its in tense
