altogether from this p'oliiem. What
the use of it? we don't want coal,
anyhow. It does us no good to look at
it What we want Is the resultant or
the utmost energy that can be pro-

material like coal when we can get

"Electricity wll take the place ot

trie storage battery itself will make
electricity cheaper than horses. In the

they will go twice as fast. They can

Where Fickle Heart Is Best.
Usually it is the fickle heart which
retains the power of loving the long-

since a poet in the columns of the
"Toronto Star" had the following
stirring lines, which throb of the
Western spirit:
There's a stir In the air, there's a
thrill through the land,
There's a movement toward the
great West;
And the eyes of all men for the mo-
ment are turned
To the country that we love the
best.
For 'tis Canada's day In the world's
calendar,
And to this merry toast let us sup:
"Here's to the land, the young giant
of the North,
Where the prairies are opening up!"
They come from the East, and they
come from the South,
They come o'er the deep rolllug

They come, for they know they will
dwell 'neath a flag
That makes all men equal and free.
Then, once more the toast, and let
every man rise
And cheer ere he sips from the cup:
