but there were little stretches now go on with the story an hour before dawn twining re ported a rocky coast apparently of volcanic formation with sharp rocks tisin from deep water right up to the shore adams found that the ship lay pinned on one solitary head of rock with deep water all around to seaward an anchor was laid out with a long hawser and led in over the ships stern through leading blocks to the anchor windlass every man abe to push on a handspike was mus tered if there was power enough and the tide came high enough the ship would slide off the way sho slid on and the damage would scarcely be worth noting in tho log but the tide had fallen considerably since the stranding and all the combined strength of the crew could accomplish was to get a terrific strain on the hawser and satisfy drake that the anchor had taken firm hold c v the waters lapped softly around the impaled ship the air was soft and cool morning was not far away the cast already had a pearly gray gleam stealing up across the velvet black of night drake sat in the chart room restless yet knowing tho need of rest he had opened the log book to enter up the stranding but after tho two mates got their coffee at tho galley and pretty poor it was it started them off on their days work in less than their customary good temper when drake returned from his inspection a grumbling crew and irritable

montreal held at the head office ot the bank was marked by interesting addresses by sir charles gordon president and mr h b mackenzie general manager in a comprehensive review of the commercial situation in canada sir charles remarked it should be kept in mind that there have been five years ot almost uninterrupted expan sion in that brief period canada has achieved a degree of development quite unprecedented not in one or two directions but practically in all remarkable material progress lias occurred in agriculture in many iine3 of manufacturing in mining forestry trading water power reduc tton and building construction noinflation in basic commodities among the other favorable features in the situation he mentioned the fact that there is no inflation appar ent in any of tho great basic com modities such as wheat sutar cotton steel and other raw materials unfavorable features in the situa tion were first the small crop of the prairie provinces and the slow move ment of the grain toward the sea board and secondly the crash in the stock markets there never was a time in the his tory of canada said sir charles in summing up conditions when busi ness as a whole has been at a higher peak than during the year under re view or when the developed sources of our wealth were more wide and varied than they are today and never a time when the earning power of our people was sustained in so many channels ot production we must not allow a temporary reaction the re sult ot a purely spoculativo orgy in tho stock markets unduly to distort our view general managers address in reviewing tho business of the bank mr h b mackenzie general manager drew attention to tho fact that the balancesheet showed assets aggregating 905000000 against s73- 000000 a year ago an increase of 502- 000000 ho also pointed out that de posits aggregated 772000000 an in crease of 50000000 despite the fact that desposits after notice had de creased sls000000 the inst a reflec tion principally of withdrawals tor in vestment in securities the last year had been exceptional in that respect and the saviugs department would probably now resume its normal growth ample ground for confidence summing up he said a review nt trado conditions in tho various pro vinces exhibits upon the whole not a banner year for canada nor a quite cloudless sky but sound basic condi tions and allowing for a temporary lull in business amplo ground for con fidence in our future growth and pros perity the chief disappointment is tho crop in the prairie provinces but too much should not bo mado of one lean

make them calm reason able and helpful in emergencies and in case ot accident even very young children have been known to show great nresenco of mind as a result ot careful training i remember hen ihe two children of my neighbor mrs blank were quite small she asked my advice wiui regard to teir behavior on several occasions then one div when i a calling on lwr it happened thai a caterpillar was jscovered ou marians dress mrs blank screamed and made ineffectual dashes at the horrid thing and marian howled like a comanche i scrapod the caterpillar on to a piece of paper and threw it out the window marian is so sensitive said mrs blank proceeding to pet her daughter wouldnt it be better to have her sensible i asked smiling though i continued sensitiveness is very de sirable if devoloped in the right di rection is ted also afraid ot in sects why no be is a boy said mrs blank hut if an insect is dangerouj will it show any respect to sex if it is poisonous will it not poison him as quickly as it will his sister oh but it looks so ugly replied mrs blank well does ted like unpleasant- looking things any better than man- ian excuse me mrs blank i think the trouble is that marian has found out that you expect her to shriek at the insect and that you regard it a3 genteel and quite becoming to an em bryo lady ted knows his playmates would laugh at him for such folly and so he shows common sense at that moment i saw tie caterpil lar crawling backup the window ledga aud called the childs attention to lt- marian what a lovely silky coat he has he is so helpless yon could easily hurt him if you wero so cruel but he could not hurt you come touch him somo day he will spin a cocoon and go to sleep in it until mother nature awakens him and then he will find himself turned into a beautiful butterfly marian was at once interested in the caterpillar and she has never feared one since but her training had encouraged a disposition to frantic screaniiug at sight o all creatures ot this kind and this caused her mother considerable mortification soon after there was a wedding at our church by far the grandest wedding ever hold in our town we were all invited and mrs blank beautifully gowned occupied a front seat with marian marvelously flounced and beribboned in the very midst of the ceremony marian espied a beetle crawling up her sleeve instead of picking it off
