It 1s one of the few poor consola~ tions left to the elder part of tha population that nobody has yet ven- tured to string bells on a Ford car; | the grunt of the bulb or the snarl of the favorite horn is the natural voea.- ization of the new vehicle. Not often, in "the white o' the year," iss now practicable to aequire for the occasion a sturdy nag of cgmpara- tive youth, well and shapely shod, and capable of making ten or twelve miles an hour over a shining track, under a sky sgwn thick with dancing stars, through 'an air charged witn health and stimulation. How much of the simple joy of living is tucked away in the trim cutter or among the piled-up furs of the big three- seated sleigh, which slips so blithely through the blue moonlight. And the bells, with their ghostly echo from behind--no other music has ever sounded so magical---so alien to the wotkaday world. Hard to hear that music, now. THE APPEAL OF ARMENIA. The true facts of the conditions of the unfortunate people of Armenia (Daily * Editi One Four, {bata in savanes ne year, PE One year, by r ral offices .0 i 5.0) are just drifting through to the pub- {lic of this country.

A plan of this kind win be a great inducement for men from the rural parts of the British Isles to come to Oanada and help to develop the tremendous agricultural re- sources of the western prairies. only the right kind of men will be allowed to come under this scheme, which is being financed by the Home Government. No ex-Imperial service man will be permitted to come to Canada under this agreement unless he has one thousand dollars in cash on landing. On taking dp his farm he will be required to pay the Soldier Settlement Board, which will handle these immigrants, a cash payment of twenty per cent. of the outlay in- volved dn the purchase of land, stock and equipment. This cash require- ment is a real safeguard against any loss by the Dominion, and against the possibility of these immigrants staying in the cities and adding to the unemployment problems there.

One ean hardly blame him for getting out of a difficult job, but for the sake of the newspapers of Oanada he should stay where he is ! until the situation becomes easier. It is announced that the new Ot- tawa-Prescott road will be named the "Prince of Wales Highway." That 1p quite a fitting tribute to the popu- larity; gained by His Royal Highness during his tour of Canada, Helleville's Chamber of Commence, which has taken the place of a dead 'Board of Trade, is already out with a constructive civic programme. The help of a rejuvenated Board of Trade « to Kingston would be of tremendous value to the city at the present time. The Hom. Mackenszzie King says that the Union Government is drift- ing.

The Turks haa seen to that, They were ¢lad in { rags, their bodies were covered with sores, hundreds were suffering from disease, and little emaciated children whined and moaned in their agony.

They have evidently been deserted by the Christ. ian churches and forgotten by the Christian nations, and their Nopes are gone, They see nothing ahead but the slow death of starvation, or an ignominious fate at the hands of the Turks. : These are the conditions as they actually exist in stricken Armenia. The revelations made recently by those who have just returned have caused a widespread appeal to be made for relief to be sent. Any help must be sent quickly. The need is urgent; the time fo act is now. The workers in Armenia, with their vi- sions of the plenty in their home. lands, have sent home an urgent ap- peal to the people over lere to save the remnants of this stricken nation from extermination by starvation. To the people of Canada the appeal goes out: "Inasmuch as yet did it unto one of the least of these, uy bfethren, yo have done it unto Me." The Whig now appeals to its read- ers to help in this great cause of sav- ing a suffering nation from destruc- tion. The people of Canada can help, and help generously. The people ot Kingston and the immediate vicinity 'should not be behind others in send- ing assistance. The Canadian -Na- tional Armenfan Relief Association, of which John G. Kent; general man- ager of the Canadian National Ex- hibition, is chairman, end D. A Cameron, manager of the Toronto branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Is treasurer, will forward of labor. Every cent that is given will reach the starving women and children. The org#fization is wholly philanthropéic.. Relief must be ad- ministered without delay.

These animals can find their way in the dark and ean see more than a human being, because of one distinct differ- ence in their eyes, which may for them be considered an advantage. The pupils of their eyes can be made much larger, and they can, therefore, cance. They were dressed in black and white dog skins, with faces as black as ink and with horns as long as their arms fastened to their heads. Thus arrayed they drifted towards the explorers while the principal fiend, with eyes staring into the future seem intent upon reading the soming events. With a loud shriek they paddled to the shore where Don- nacona met them and took the Indians into the woods. In a little time great wailings were heard from the scene of the Indian encampment--a squalid place of bark wigwams, Then two 'ndian lads eame to Cartier and icturing great terror and amazement eclared that the trio had learned from the Indian god Coudousgny that if the French attempted to ascend the river they would all be destroyed by fire, ice, lightning or storm." The Frenchman told the braves that their god was a fool and that no one could touch these who were in the power of Christ; then | he prepared to start on his! voyage, much to the amazement of | the warriors, The Indians claimed to | be greatly red by what the white- | man told of the powers of | his god and aided in the preparations for the trip.
