"And .since then â€" well, frankly, doc- tor, John was very much upset about last Sunday's .sermon. Mr. Gilchrist preached from the text about the rich man entering the kingdom of heaven." "Always a trifle dangerous," agreed the rector. "Yes, and last Sunday it seemed as if he were directing all his remarks at John. We're in the first pew, you know, and John s.nys he doesn't like to complain, but there's getting to be altogether too much of this â€" bolshe- vism. John says the preachers are more than half to blame for the pres- ent .social unrest. I agree that some of the sermon was positively insult- ing." "Mr. Gilchrist is young," the rector ir.terposed. "Gilchrist is a nut," Jeri-y .snorted. "Of course, what John objected to was the reference to rents â€" to charg. "I want you, and I'm offering mar- riage to you," he pointed out.

"Thank you, doctor," she replied as he relieved her. "And Mr. Hinkle's iu there praying for someona to con- .sult about the Christmas music." "I.todd Mr. Kinkle the choir'd bet- ter begin by singing, 'Peace, Perfect Peace, With the Loved Ones Far Away'," the rector answered. The ide-i seemed to amuse Dilly.

The doctor placed his pack nges with the others at the foot of ing clerks and bookkeepers more than , 'he giant tree. Mrs. Tice halted him they could pay for 'wretched little flats!"

Now, whenever Mr. Gilchrist preach- es, there's such a crush of undesirable people in tho galleries you can hardly g«t to your pew. We dont have that trouble with Dr. Wadham.' No one noticed Clare Jewett, who had entere<l and stood in the black shadows that made the choir-room door part of the wall "Mr Gilchrist was such a promising young man," sighed Mrs. Tice. "So rich and happy." "And in love," added Dilly. "He's still rich and in love and, I think, happy," Dr. Wadham affirmed. "I've told j'ou, he's a nut," Jerry depeated emphatically.

Iu less pretentious words, Grand Cayman, Jamaica's little de- pendency, has built l^rselt a motor- boat. At a cost of $30,000 (a sum which is equal to the Island's annual re- venue). Grand Cayman pSLS obtained regular and speedy communication with the parent Island of Jamal.ca. The vessel, of 130 tons, not only car- ries passengers, cargo and mails from one Island to the other, but even makes periodical journeys between Georgetown, her capital, and Tampa, in Florida. Thus Is an end made to a state of affairs which has existed since 1740, when the first settlers were granted provisional patents which have long since lapsed, leaving the land to be held chiefly by small settlers by right of tenure. Formerly the only communication with Jamaica was by schooner, which made periodical but uncertain visits to the little dependency which has neither cable nor wireless communi- cation with the outside world. Now every three weeks (weather permitting), the little Clmboeo sets out gaily to the music of her bumming engines. When the wind is favorable she hoists a sail; when hurricanes threaten she beats a hasty retreat to port. Under favorable conditions the voyage takes two days; there are times, however, when conditions are not favorable. Recently a judge and opposing counsel were Imported from Jamaica to try an important commercial case; they traveled to tho Island In perfect amity and fine weather, they returned in a real Caribbean gale, all of them, together with an expert medical wit- nes^, very sorry for themselves and each other, the victorious counsel In no frame of mind to plume himself on bis victory. The inhabitants of the island are scarcely conscious of the strangeness of their life. They play tennis, bathe In the startling blue of the Caribbean waters, dance, and even drive their cars over the scanty roads with no due appreciation of the problems they are presenting to the outside world. So, for months at a time the wo- men and children are left behind, to tend their land, with Its oranges and naseberries and maugbes, its yams and cocos; or to make straw rope from palm thatch, practically the only industry be.side boat-building and tur- tle-fishing. If a hurricane should come, as it very well might, it would I probably bo weeks before Jamaica I would hear of it. And it is during j this dangerous hurricane season that I the men-folk are 300 miles and more i away from home, leaving the women to their own devices and to such pro- tection and assistance as the Commis- sioner can give them. The CImboco, that triumphant proof of Cayman's broad and liberal out- look, was built locally. The engine was Imported In half a hundred parts and â€" probably by the system of trial and error â€" put together by an island boat-buUder. It was bought and is operated by a company, subsidized by the Jamiaca Government, from which Cayman is now imploring radio com- munication. Of Qrund Cayman's 5,650 inhabit- a»ts, 3,560 are colored.

Mike WHS an Irish laborer earning good money In Yorkshire, and not car- ing to spend his money on beer, he bought a watch and guard, though he It was amus- ing to watch his frequent glances of prido as he was wheeling the barrow. One day his workmates saw him com- ing on the street, and for a lark told a newcomer to ask Michael the time. "Can you tell me the time?" he asked with courtesy. Michael pulled out his watch, looked at it, then turning it round with face to the questioner, he exclaimed: "Would yer bellevo It?" Indians Invented Duck Decoys Before Columbus ever sighted the West Indies the natives of AWrcia were decoying ducks and geese to the lakes and ponds where they became targets for swift, flint-headed arrows. Joel Barber gives a brief account of the history of Duck Decoys In tbeb December Issue of "Field and Stream." He reveals that the first dummy ducks were made of reeds cleverly tied together to tho shape of a duck. These reed models were then neatly shingled with feathei-s of the fowl in such n manner that they oddly dupli- cated tho living bird. On the floor of a dried lake bed In Nevada near caves where specimens of the reed decoys were foun(^nany flint arrow heads have been discovered. This points to an extended practice of duck hunting with decoys long years bo- fore rolumbiiH over sailed the ocean blue, declares Ihhi "Field and Stream" writer. A worried-looking farmer drove In- to town, and headed for the family doctor. Without preamble he began: "Doc, the first time you're out our way I wish you'd stop and see my wife." "Is she 111?" asked the man of pills and portions. "Not exactly." "What's the trouble, then?" "Well, this morning she got up at the regu- lar time about four o'clock, milked the cows, got breakfast for the hands, did her housework, churned, and along about ten o'clock she said she felt a little tired. I expect she needs a tonic or something." Minard't Liniment for Grippe. Mrs. Campbell â€" Dear, I, saw the 'sweetest little hat downtown today.

JTAPAK TJB A Freab Srom tbe Gavdeiis Making Broad-Fronted Advance Ottawa, Canada. â€" The record wheat harvest of Canada, aggregating more than five hundred million bushels, draws attention to the fact that agri- culture is still the Dominion's leading Industry, but the remarkable progress which has been made in recent years in the development of her forest, min- eral, water-power, and other re- sources shows that Canada Instead of confining her energies to a few ex- tractive Industries is making a broad- fronted advanccin many fields of ac- tivity. Ranking second to agriculture in value of products, the foi-est . indus- tries loom large ia Canada's economic structure. The . growth of pulp and paper production in recent years has been rapid and spectacular and since 1926 the Dominion has been the world's greatest newsprint producer. The erection of new mills and addi- tions to present producers indicate that the Dominion's total will be fur- ther Increased In the Immediate fu- ture. The effect of expansion in this as in most of the other Industries en- gaged In the development of the Do- mlaion's natural resources is seen in the growth of ton-ns and cities and. in the springing up of ne"jv coihmunitles. An increasing demand for lumber for export and a slight increase in price have brought about a general Improvement in the lumber industry. The miulqg industry ts thriving. Exploratory and pi-osppctin.? opera- tions are being carried on in practical- ly every province of the Dominion. The development of Canada's water power resources conOnue.s apace. Not- withstanding the gigantic undertak- ings which have been completed in recent years new projjects are adding to the total installations year by year. The exp^sion of the forest and min- ing industries, in which hydropower is playing a large and increasing part, , has contributed to the demand for I more electrical energy. I The year 192S marks a period of â-  I rapid growth In the economic struc- ! ture of the Dominion and on every hand there la evidence of the progres ' being made In exploration develop- 1 ment and production.
