The present prices of Raw Furs as
compared with the' prices of a few
years ago. make pleasant reading
for the old trapper and fur collector,
but to the teaderfoot in the Fur
Game it seems like an impose-lbile
story, and if the “old timers" didn't
know ge facts to be true, they would
say. " ell it to the marines," says
Mr. A. B. Shubert, President of A.
B. Shubel-t, Inc., Chicago, U. S. A.,
the largest House in the world deal-
ing excluslvaiy in American Raw
Furs. Why it was only a. few yeofra
ago that one could buy all the Musk-
rats _in Western Canada at 6c apiece'
and th¢o'=s’old as low as ic. Winter
and Spring collections last season
brought 40c. to 500. The entire col-
lection of Northwest Skunk could
be bought at $1.00 to $1.50 for No. 1
large prime Black. New they sell at
$5.00 to $0.00. The best Lynx solid
in C. M. Lampson & Co.'s sale in
London; England. at‘ $3.50. Last sea-
son $12.00 to $15.00 was paid for
them. Marten that are now worth
$6.00 sold for $2.00. The best dark
Fisher that North America ever pro-
duced could , be bought for $10.00.
Last season $50.00 was paid for ' the
large dark skins. The beet collection
of Red Fo_x.w_as sold for $2.00 aver-
age. Today the same collection of
Red Fox would bring $8.00 to $10.00.
White' Weasel we paid nothing for he-
cause there was no market for them.
'i‘oday,they bring 75c. to $1150. Ot-
ter, one could buy the-best the earth
produced at $5.00 and $6.00. Today

LOVE FINDS A WAV.
A great novelist tells of a child that
wandered away from her home. Every
night when it grew dark s candle was
set in the window, to show the lost
one, if ever she crept back repentant,
that love's place was kept for her
within. The Bible seems to me like al
great palace standing in the centre of
a dark world. It has a thousand win-
dows; and in every onet of them a
bright iight shines, to tell earth’s lost
ones of a homo where they will find
a ,welcome if they but come to its
door.
“I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Come unto me and rest!
Lay down thou weary one. lay down
T-hy head upon my breast,'
I came to Jesus as I was, _
Weary, and wom, and sad;
I found in him s resting place,
,And he has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Behold, I freely givo_
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and dri-nk. and
I came to Jesus and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
live.'

from_my observations in a very fewbrief visits-»to'd)um-
n_iers1de.-. The' first reason that would occur to one,-who;
*like myself, has always lived in the country, ten'-or more
miles _from railways and stores, is the convenience of
shopping and traveling- -For no one who has always been
used to those things can appreciate them as well-as
those, who'in’tli'e winter season, at least; 'never see a train
and almost newer see a steamer. Then there isthe ad-
vantage of so many good schools and an__ _up-to-date'
Business College for us who are not wealthy e'rio_i:5l1~-to
send -our children to high-priced colleges, also.»ple`  ‘of
fine churches f_or every- denomination within easy reach.
-Then I consider itsan ideal location with its fine harbor,
and always a good view of its busy shipping sind- all iliiids
Iinestyiews of green fields and woods, I'I#l\l'i_l_§’Ygl__L_“-i`iI'\l'iAiAtiI""s'
rentixi_g2&te__m. But speaking for myself I<,t:hmi_r 
be much tter _to own one’s ome than to pa fre_lit._`_S_till_
be it ever so modest a one, than to have rentto pay'-al
ways. _
There are so_many_ chances for boys and girls to ‘et
ahead ina busy little _city like Summerside, too, that for
.that_reason alone I would like to locate there if it were
possgile _for me_to do so. I have heard Summerside coni-
pare with a muchempre pretentious town to the dis'li8"-’
vantage of the latter, by more than one person.
Now, having stated only a few of my reasons for
considering Summerside an ideal spot to live in, I will
close for fear of over-stepping space limits. _
