been the close com panion and friend of his mother who being a good scotch woman had in stilled into his life and character the principles of truth and honor his mother was sitting in her chalr by the window when bruce entered the room and he saw her hastily brush away a tear as she greeted him with a kind patient smile it was ten long years ago that she met with an accident which so injured her

say tw my boy and remember the mother who will be praying for you now mother you mustnt worry about me replied bruce ill write every week arid tell you all about everything here comes father so well carry down the trunk bruce ahd his father carried down his large i heavy trunk and mrs cameron satisfied herself that ail was right before she turned the key in the lock many were the hot tears that fell upon the garments as she lovingly refolded them but in the morning sher was marvellously bright and cheerful it will be easier for the dear lad if he sees his mother brave she inward ly commented and she did not know how much braver her boy felt when he came down stairs and saw his mother all smiles and might as could be there was only time for a hur ried breakfast a hasty farewell and he was gone bruces room was on the second flat and his room mate was st clair aubln a slim young man two years older than bruce he had been shown to his room and was unpacking some books when st clair came in oh he exclaimed as he caught sight of bruce are you my new roommate yes sir replied bruce my name is bruce cameron have you been here long this is my third year answered st clair as he seated hlmeslf in a chair and proceeded to light a cigar which he had taken from a box on the table my name is st clair aubjn and im supposed to study law the governor thinks im the white haired boy have a weed dont smokel he exclaimed as bruce declined the cigar youll soon get over that well break you in bruces answer to all this was pro found silence he did not lmairinc he would be brougbt face to face with temptation so soon and his thoughts dew back to his mother and the prom ise he had so recently made her as time passed on bruce fell into the ways of the school and in spite of his evil habits and rough ways st clair aubln became a great favorite with him the majority of the boys indulged in the wineglass and bruce saw many things which filled him with horror the boys would meet in their rooms in the evenings and have cards and wine bruce had always been invited butpromptly declined the boys re sented this when it came st clair aublns turn to entertain the boys bruce framed an excuse to leave the room but one of the lads who was standing near the dcorand had al ready imbibed pretty freely barred the doorway let me pass if you please john ston said bruce pont saudolljot a chorus from several of the boys let me pass i say repeated bruce and righteous anger darted from his eyes if johnston had not been partly in toxicated he would not have faced thu dangerous antagonist bruces anger was thoroughly roused just then a big bully jumped up and catching bruce from behind shook htan and said see here young man youre not going out- of this room tflt you take a glass with the rest of us u bruce wheeled round knocked htm to the floor in a second hen before the amaxed johnston had time to know what had happened lie hurled his out of the way and rushed through tbi door jj- bruce bad thought to tell them about- his mother and how she had made hira ptomlaj to dfraln from these eyfls but jhe could not do so wlills the boys it ja that condltlou he knew that they would jeer at him for being tied to his mothers apron strings and he could never endure to hear his mother spoken unkindly of he had deeply incurred the other boys displeasure with the exception of st clair aubln wlio had taken a great liking o bruce 8t clair was the most popular boy inthe school he had lots of money and his word was law among the boys who looked up to him tor advice i when bruce returned to his room after the boys had left he found st clair sitting wrapped in a deep thpught smoking a cigar well cameron youve got your self into a fix sure enough the boys are pretty hot and you had better keep your eye open 1 did riy best for you 61d chap ill admit i like you even though you are as stiff as a preacher in your views i tried to quiet the others thanks awfully said bruce grate fully tin glad youve put me on my guard but i dont know what i can do i wont drink their wretched stuff and break my mothers heart hi fight till there is no breath left in me beforey 1 let them pour that cursed wine down my throat i admire your pluck cameron re plied st clair really do but you have some of the toughest fellows in the school to fight against well im not going to worry over it said bruce wearily its time we were in bed and the boys retired without further conversation the next morning bruce and st clair had just settled down to study when half a dozen fellows among them johnston burst rudely into the room they looked determined and angry and one of them carried a glass of wine st clair looked up and immediately guessed their purpose bruce took no notice of them and angered by his apparent indifference one big fellow stepped up and caught him in the meantime calling the other to come on bruce shook himself free from his persecutors hand and drew himself to his full height wait a moment boys he said in a quiet commanding voice let me tell yon something the boys fell back and impatiently listened as bruce continu ed boys ive a dear mother at home who has been an invalid for ten years just before i left home she called me to her and made me promise never to touch liquor or cigars i have kept my promise thus far boys are you going to make me break it and also my mothers heart bruce sat down dead silence reign ed throughout the room for a minute then the big fellow who had caught bruce took up the glass of wine and walking to the window dashed both glass aljnd contents to the ground turnlrojvthen to bruce he extended his hand and said i ask your pardon cameron we boys are cowards wt felt you were superior to us and tried to bring you to our level ill never be the one to force you to break that promise goodnight cameron and he shamefacedly stole from the room the other fellows one by one followed his example and in a few minutes st clair and bruce were alone good for you old fellow said st aialr you knew how to take them and tm glad things are turning out so favorably for you by the way id like to see youte mother would you really i cried bruce ex citedly why 1 1 was just going to ask you to run down home with me on friday evening my sister grace wrote me yesterday to say mother is not well and wishes me to spend sun day at home listen to this and bruce drew a letter from his pocket and read an extract from it to st cjlair mother wants you to come home for sunday and bring with you your friend st clair aubln of whom you have spoken so often come down on the friday night express how very kind of her answered st qlalr i shall be delighted to go with you how old is your sister k3race is sixteen and the sweetest girl alive replied bruce but i dont know how shell agree with your cigars oh i can cut those out for a few days but would she really object to a cigar inquired st olalr wait and see was all bruce would answer friday evening bruce and st clalr arrived safely at the formers home when bruce entered the room where his mother was sitting he reached her side with a bound not heeding the tall stranger whom orace had led in to the room mrs cameron gathered her big stalwart son into her arms and folded him to her heart welcome home she cried and then tour promise my lad have you kept it yes dearest mother i have now let me introduce you to my room mate mr aubln be has been a good friend to me mother mrs cameron made st olalr feel that he was thoroughly welcome and from the first he felt at home these people were so different from the so ciety people with whom he had been accustomed to mingle and he would not have dreamed of lighting a cigar before this beautiful lady and her gentle innocent daughter he was greatly impressed with their home life when m cameron took the family bible and offered the custom ary evening worship st olalr felt puzzled and strangely out of place he had heard of family altars and such things but never before had he been invited to join one he listened respectively while the chapter was being read but he did not kneel with the others in prayer he was think ing deeply no wonder bruce was such a noble upright fellow his home environment and influence were conducive to nothbg but the highest and best what would these people think if they knew of the wicked ex cesses at the boys at the college it was long past midnight when st olalr fell asleep he was dlssatlned with himself he did not feel worthy to be a friend of these people what would grace think if she knew that many a time he had been intoxicated and could smoke a many cigars in an evening as any other fellow in the college which could he give up ho present st clair told them all about mrs cameron and how out of place ne felt at family worship i tell you boys thats the right way to live and do you know the first thing his mother asked him was have you kept your promise boys you should have seen the smile of joy that lit up her race as he answered vyes dearest mother i have how terrible it would have been if we had made hint break that sacred promise there is something else i want to say to yqu fellows af ter much consideration ive decided to cut out every tone of my evu habits and straighten op ive promised to be a friend of these people and i want to be worthy of their friendship dldrrt you smoke all the time you were away asked one of the boys in credulously no sir i didnt and tve dropped it forever and the wiljeglass too wont you fellows join ine it would be awfully bard said johnston but well promise to try to steady up for mrs camerons sake wont- we boys yes yes we will said another of the boys three cheers for bruce camerons mother and bruce came in just in time to bear three rousing cheers for his mother thank you boys said bruce iij- tell my mother about it and i want every one of you to come andsee her the boys thoughtfully dispersed and a marked change was noticed among them while none of them could speak too highly of bruce cameron the boy who was not afraid to keep his prom ise calendar fob 19m tells of leap year by gordon sinclair just in case you

addition he devotes saturday all the other holidays and the long summer vacation to enjoyment by the time he finishes high school he will have a fearful handicap if he goes to college and pursues the same tactics he is pretty- nearly spoiled by the tune he gets his diploma if you have rtefnwgaxode out doing hard work to conquer the habit of loafing will take a tremen dous upheaval we forget a great many facts which we learn in school but if during this period we form the habit of close ap plication and hard work we do not forget that young people with rea sonable good health should have some thing useful to do in the summer they should be learning to work tf the mistaken indulgence of your par ents leaves you free to choose have enough regard for your own future to cut loose from

ball which was held in the cbnosrt ban of the itorjrau oa hotel the following from the fergus- rtewsrecord of nov 26th may prove a warning to business men generally every once in a while some stran ger drifts into fergus with a slick ad vertising scheme and takes away a lot of good money giving little or nothing in return some of these are what might be termed in modern parlance rackets and it seems strange that so many men keep falling for these things instead of making a few in quires for themselves the last instance was demonstrat ed in fergus last friday a good looking lady struck town and proceed ed to sell merchants advertising space on a calendar she claimed she had the endorsation of a fergus church and conveyed the impression that tbe church would benefit and some of the victims apparently thought they were making a donation to the church another feature of the plan was that the lady appears to have been willing to take just what she could get for any space on the calendar prices obtained varied all the way from s3 to 10 and in most instances cash was paid in advance although one man made out a cheque to a sim coe printing office as his contribution the solicitor was quite willing to give everybody the best positions if they asked for them and probably sold the same space many times over it is estituuea that she coutusu over s0 in an afternoon at least 13 busi ness men fell for the scheme this story differs from others in that it had a happy ending a fergus lady who is an active worker in the church happened to hear the propo sition ss explained to a local mer chant she became suspicious and made inquiries by telephone finding out that the solicitor was m ntm that were quite untrue and that the church had nothing whatever to do with the issuing of the calen dar constable cowing was notified and he detained the canvasser just as she was about to depart in a high priced car accompanied by the con stable she went around to all whom she had collected money from and re turned their cash then she left town and no doubt she will visit other un suspecting communities- she gave her name to constable ooullng as annie kennedy and claimed to be working for a mr mahoney of toronto she claimed that he had failed to make the usual arrangements beforehand one of the strangest parts of these advertising rackets is that a woman can come in and collect cash for ad vertising at ridiculously high prices married men as well as bachelors seem to fall for a beautiful woman naturally their wives are fcioxhng them until the very mention of the transaction rather riles them and they will not likely be so ready to re peat the offence prairie provinces increase population in the north an analysis of the 1931 census of population compiled by the natural resources department of the canadian national railways indicates that the greatest rate of increase during the past decade in the three prairie pro vinces has occurred hi the urban cen tres and in the northern pioneering districts according to f v seibert superintendent western region this tact reflects the trend of development which has been most noticeable in the growth of manufacturing industries in the cities and in the development of agriculture mining and forest pro ducts in the north the contlrbutlon of the wooded and semiwooded areas of the northern portion of the prairie provinces and of the mining areas of the pre cambrian region is a conspicuous feature of the census the two rural constituencies showing the greatest growth in mani toba are nelson and
