There wou'd be far more good nature than there la and leas dirt. If women In Manlt iba had thlnga in their homes halt convenient; nouses all so small and women have more to do than they can do, and can't get help at any coat, no matter how badly needed, so I prefer doing what I can and being good natur-ed If there la anything I hat It la seeln; a man pottering round the house in a busy tarn. If men don't work how la the harvest to be garnered, (I am afraid you will say to me aa you did to Mosabuck about perspicacity, that you don't know dollnltlon of pottering), Aa for smoking. It don't prolong life even if some live to be old and ueera of same they would altogether likely have lived tar longer If they did not tee th weed. If It la suah a comfort to men why not let a woman have someT But It would be more suitable for women to be darning aox I hear some eelAah man say.

I myself don't think tobacco adds to men's or women's appearance; fortunately we are not all built the same. I know a couple of ladles that can dance all night and are never able to get up mornings, but has their old mother at the Job year In and year out. Surely that mother la braver than a great many of them bear hardships and never say a word. If there were more literary societies and debates these long winter evenlnga they would give us more brainy women aa wall aa men something to do. When our country get older we will have thing more convenient and there won't be ao many dlaoontenled people.

Dear Becky, thla la my first letter, and I suppose you will hope It will be my last. Where ia Criticism gone? WTLCWOOD. Gladstone, Dec. 13, 1907. Indeed, I don't hope it will be your last letter and I certaLnly welcome you as a Page friend.

It Is very good of you to add your opinion to that of others- I agree with you that If many of the house were more convenient in the country, women would not only take mora pleasure In life but would have less work and be far and away happier. A home la a woman's kingdom where she should reign as queen. Many of these farmers' wive out on the lone prairie must long ago have had their one ambition for a cosy home crushed to death. Inconvenient houses to many women kill housewifely pride and it le a husband's duty to do his utmost for his helpmate in this respect. Now, come again "Wlldwood" and accept my best wishes for a Jolly 'Xmas.

Wlnnlfred writes, November 17th: Dear Becky You do not know how pleased I am to see my letters and verses In print, and I am very glad they are appreciated by the readers' of your delightful Page. I am sending you another Tinker taken from an English magazine, Good Words. I trust It will not be too long to find room In the Page. Wishing you every suoesa I remain. Tours truly, WIN NTFRED.

The Tinker Child. A cry from the Highlands. Hast thou no Joyous days, poor tinker child. Art always wandering thus, barefoot, forlorn. One of the outcast, wayward gypsy tribe, Who roam at large over the countryside, Or toller by the highway In the hope Of generous dole from pitying cottager Or slender alma from kindly passerby? At eve returning to the dismal tent Of grimy canvas, patched and weather worn, Sllmly erected on the heath-clad moor.

Kindling with gathered sticks the ruddy fire O'er which suspended hangs a rusty pot Replenished with such store of meat or meal As an Itinerant forage has secured. Impatlenly the tinkers gather round. And all with relish share the rude repast; A hissing kettle at the boiling point Yields weak Infusion from "the pickle So universal la the tinker guest Th 000k crow sounds reveille shrill and dear. The lark aaoendliur trtt celestial notes, The aongatara of the grove, the lowing cowl Unite In raising morning' hymn ot praise. In sorry plight the abject tinker rise.

Their ragged clot rang ana tneir cop oer skin 1 Need little toilet. with scant delay They snatch a morning meal, bannocks and brose. Remainder bread, and mlloh from nalnhh'rini' farm. Nol grudgingly bestowed for children. The frugal meal dispatched they lay their plans, Father to linger by th crany tent.

Or eally forth, regardless of restraint. In search of labor or suoh rude em ploy. As may befit their age and aptitude: At times the busy farmer calls for hclD. And bids the tinker welcome Jo his fields. At other times the oak plantations vie Employment suited for a tinker throng; And for a time th cheery welkin rings With shout of glad and noisy revelry, Tinker have their admirers, not few.

Who glbly picture with romantic brush Their hardy life, their healthful, peace ful lot. Roving In savage freedom where they list. Scorning to lode In civilized resort. Despising hous or cottage, hut or barn. Like the red deed, Intractable, un- Children of natur roaming unrestrained.

Idylllo picture, sadly Incomplete, Let candid llmmer sketch for other acenea, In hirred colors but lnstlnot with llf. Th short-lived season pass, harvest scoured, Reapers and farm laborers combining In Joyous festival and harvest borne. Tinkers discharged with ample wages paid, Wander In idleness while money last. Indulging tipsy saturnalia; i'athora lay prostrate by th rough wayside, Mothers with infants in their brawny arms And cowering little one about their feet. Go blindly staggering along th road In bitter, savag mood, Uielr money spent Striving to reach th wretched settlement.

Where frenzied drunken ess assert It away. What of the children all these day and months When vile intemperance thus holds the Held? From infancy and to childhood and from youth To budding womanhood and youthful prime. Their record are of ignorance and of shame; No moral precept taught, no fear of God, Darkness Cimmerian over heart and brain, Their ead condition meeting less regard Than tended cuttle on a thousand hills; Can heathen lands present a sadder sight, More shameless in Its utter Infancy? Sinning, but sinned against, for no one cores. Their rlxhts withheld, their legal claims ignored, A epeotaole of ruined, youthful life. Despised, neglected, left to live and die; More blame attaches to the Civil Ann Than can be laid at the poor Tinker' door.

Must It be always thus? Is pity dead? Are hearts impervious to the mute appeal Pathetic In It very artlessne? Again, and yet again a cry haa risen From friends of Tinker to the Power that be; Thus their appeal In many varied rorms Rescue these children from th dis mal swamp Of shame and Ignorance in which they ue. Restore their ravished birthright, plead tneir cause I Place them in fiur and honest rivalry wim bcotianas youtn, to whom the rtgnt belongs, Without respect of persons or of class. To education In her fairest garb. Duty has recognized. Justice secured.

It need no second sight, no Highland seer With eye prophetio brightly to foretell A coming time regretful of the past. When wrongs are righted, prison doors unbarred. And captive children freed, who long have lain In galling chain of abject slavery. Wlllam Mitchell, LkL), Pitlochry. Many thanks Wlnnlfred.

A piece of printed matter without personality is like a man with a diseased brain. It can't convince. The only way to obtain "personality printing" is to employ a printer whose service is made up just as much of brains as of technical ability. There are only one or two printers in the country that can combine these two elements. Among them Henderson Brothers of Winnipeg stand in a class by themselves because they have the artisans and the experience; in fact they are turning out the most splendid sort of literature every day.

They are anxious to get in touch with large advertising and manufacturing interests, with a view to explaining this service. Phone 7224 or 7225 and our representative will call. 2 79 Garry St. P.O. Box 39, Winnipeg, Man.
