with hla lodger account kept at Marl*

in the first week of Ihe month. No

To whistle In a theutrc. is a sign ot

Vaudeville performers believe it ia
bad luck to change the costumes in
which they tlrst achieved success. Old

majority of them strongly dislike to

Actors, says Mr. T. Sharper Knowl*

A cat and a letnale lux-terrier,
which had brought into the world

There is a certain kind of humor
which wins Its way more surely than
any otbei policy. Sir John Macdon-
aid was a ma«ter in its use, and
seldom resorted to it In vain. On one
occasion Sir John delivered an ad-
dress, which, for some mysterious
rea-on. wm slightly incoherent. The
following day. a newspaper man
called on him and diffidently showed
him certain notes which he had taken
of the speech.
Sir John aurvejred tlv nttes for a
moment and then turned to the reporter in a kind and fatherly man-
ner.
"Young man. will you let ma give
you a word of advicer"
"Certainly. Sir John," said tha
flattered  -erile'.
"Well, don't ever try to iwport one
of my speeches unlesn you are mra
that you are perfectly wlier. Now,
I'll tell ycu what I really did say"
And the young reporter wai wlae
enough to say "thank ynu."

questions of protective tariffs which

comes of it, they will be better men
and women for the time spent with

David Douglas, the returni ng
ofllcrr for the district, formally de-
el a red .1. D. Taylor elected as the
member for the electoral district of
New Westminster on Monday.
The following limine- show the linal
and eiirreel account of the votes
pulled- J. D. 1'i.vlor, VMSi John
Oliver, 1819, giving Taylor a Majority of 1003.   Thus  Mr.  Oliver
| saved his deposit by 7S votes.   The
role 11..lie.i  iu  ibis federal elect-
|lon was nearly a thousand greater I pm
than in the federal control of Phis _
when tllC rellirni gave a total vulC ay
of 1-Siiii. The iucreaie may Im*
taken iuiui indication of the growth
nntl ilevelopuienl (hat lias marked
the pa-t three yean lu the Praser
Vnlloy.
Mr. llonlon has pledged liiin-elf
in the most definite manner to repeal Ihe   legislation pnssetl by the
l-nurler Government creating the
Canadian Navy, ami todo nothing
in the way of a permanent alternative policy until Wioh policy is
first submitted to lho people of
Canada in a Special referendum,
and Approved bj them. The Free
Press, while not de*iringto attempt
iln- role of prophet, ventures to express thc opinion that when tlio
naval scheme that has to bfl evolved
hy the ■visdoin of Mr. Hordcii ami
bis colleagues is brought forth into
thc public view, It will l>c found to
[ties. In all cases the potential
beneficiaries not merely failed lo
increase their support for the
Government, but actually failed in
ud tlieir former support. They
cannot blame anybody, unless il
may be tbat some time they may
blame themselves for I icing fooled,
but that is their affair. It will be
many a long day before any political parly in Canada will risk H->
fortunes in giving  them  rmother
it'll opportunity. The farmer has
had Ins turn, lb- cannot blame
tbe manufacturer very much if ho
lid not take it.—Montreal Herald. |
Mr. Bordon, in his manifesto issued on Aug. It, pledged himself
md "the I.ibcral-Conservativo party to carry out this policy:
1. A thorough reorganization
of methods by which public expenditure is supervised. Increase is what
is known as ordinary controllable
expenditure from 821,600,000 in
1896 to nearly $74,000,000 In 1911,
is proof of extravagance beyond any
possible defence.
""2. Granting of the natural resources to the prairie provinces.
''3. Construction of the Hudson's
Bay Railway and its operation by an
independent commission,
"*l. Control and operation by lho
state of terminal elevators.
5. Necessary encouragement f**r

Rlgnllicunt compared with I lie olivlotif
dlsadvnutiiges which may prolmbly
arise frum eiposlng so large a surface
of nutrient fluid to Ibo air. Suit-
should lie served In a cup, a low hroml
teacup, and the method, which Is be
coining more usual. Is hygienic. Ton
deep a vessel would be an error on th.
otber side. Its udvaulnges would hi
cnnceled by Its great drawback. Wi

It Is we who nre stupid because wi

from over-teas, who helped him tight

ol the seventeen Premiers gathered
in Imperial discussion iu Downing

Canada as he is uf Kugluivl. Indeed.
in uue nn'ulli in Loudon, Sir Charles

John Hucklln I wua greitily pleased
-With blm. llii serious looks indicated
that tbe world wuh tu him an Important problem. I bud feared he would
turn out oue of tUtma mo called fascinating society men thai I did not admire. He was very deferential to me,
but If he bad heeu told tbat I bad
beeu picked out for him he ahowed no
consciousness of the fact. Altogether
our meeting waa satisfactory to all
respects but one. Mr. Rucklln showed
no etgu whatever that he took more
Interest lu me tbun wua warranted by
tbe fact that I waa man-bed wltb blm
at a wedding ceremuuy.
However, the acquaintance msde on
that occasion was continued, and Ur.
Bucklln became a regular caller at
our bouse. Be waa usually very busy,
but found time to ahow me some st-
CeutloD. Tet It seemed to me tbat be
waa doing It to plea*** Clara, wltb
whom be waa on very friendly terms
Occasionally 1 would twit her wltb Ibe
failure of her plan for me. whereupon
ahe would say: "I don't think John
considers himself able to marry Just
now. Ilealdes, Il seems to me tbat
you treat blm with marked Indifference." Aa to her excuses for Mr. Buck
Hu. t did nut consider tbem or any moment whatever. I was surprised at
her saying thut I treated him with Indifference, for I wus not conscious of
doing aa And yet Clura was doubt-
leaa right. If n mai'ih la designed by
a mutual friend and Ibe man lo tbe
cat* doea not make a move lo a matrl-
moots! direction the girt la very likely
to treat blm wltb either Indifference or
sometblog more pronounced.
Tbera was good reason why t should
marry. The family purse waa not plethoric, and father was growlog too old
to remain much longer In bualoeae harness. About thai time we discharged
our housemaid, giving out tbat we
couldn't get a servant, but really because wa couldu't afford to keep one.
I did ibt work tbat the housemaid hid
done. When I swept and dusted I planed my dress back and wort a towel
over my bead. Father encouraged me
by saying tbat I looked prettier In that
costume than wben dressed for A ball.
Out morning I waa sweeping tbe par
lor. It waa separated from tbe dining
room by folding doors aa well aa a portiere. At this particular time tbe folding doors and tbe portieres were both
cloaed. I beard the doorbell ring. I
couldu't go to tbe door In sweeping
costume, but father had not yet gone
out, and I knew ht would do so. 1
waa about to run opetelra when I
beard father's atep lo Ibe ball and
knew I was too late. Fearing be
snlgbt bring aome one Into tbe parlor,
1 stepped between tbt folding doors
tod tbt portiere.
I bad scarcely got Into concealment
wben father entered tbe room and
wltb blm another person. I couldn't
act wbo this person waa, but all doubt
on the subject was onou removed by
bearing ibe deep sounding voice of
John Bucklln. Naturally 1 waa very
much astonished.
MI must go Into an explanation." be
Mid lo father, "for ranking a call al
tbla unusual hour before I stale tbe object of my visit. | aall this afternoon
for South America, and oo far aa I can
Judge I see uo proe|ttct or my gttUog
back here possibly fur years."
J surely thought I should faint.
"I ebal-.fpiter tutu some particular*,"
continued tbe man who bnd been picked out for me, "the reason fnr whlcb

What In tbe world could tbe man be
driving at?
"Now, || has occurred In Oi> that-
I'm a praitiiul sort of fellow, ynu
know-1 have thought that tbe moat
sensible thing I can do -of course there
Isn't much time for such au Important
move- what I am trying to get out'-
Kor heaven's sake, get It out!
•The matter I am driving al la Ibat
I'd like lo take your daughter wltb
me aa my wife."
Well, 1 declare! He wants to take
some one down Into that hu rim runs
couutry simply for company to help
bias through with bis blurt time   lie
won l nine mei
Thero wns n brief silence, at the
end of whicli I heurd fulberask, "Bavt
you spoken (o my daughter?"
"I hare uut. lu uny event I would
have naked your permission tu do so,
and this very uuusuul busie renders It
essential."
"Sn far as I am concerned," ssld
father. "I hnve nn objection. 1 will
call Sadie, nud If you think you can in
dure her to consent to hui h a husty
marriage you ure ipiite welcome to
try. Itut If you will lie guided by an
older man, n married man. you will not

bave to me. I would advise you to
tell her Ibut this move Ih the result of
lure, imt an expedient. It doesn't mul
ter thnt expediency li your principal
reuson. Wt* niiisi give women a little
taffy, you know,"
Ob, these men!
But a mutter of fnr greater Importance urn-sled my atteutloo-at leant
tt seemed more important at thu time.
Father went to the door uud culled
me. of course then* wua nu answer,
lie weut uut lnio the hall and called
again. Theu I heard him go upstairs.
"Where's Hiidie'*" "She's below."
"No, ahe Isn't" "She surely Isn't up
here."   "Find tier."
Imagine my feelings, standing boll
upright in the narrow space l-ctween
Ihe door* mid the portiere, the man
who had pt'i|iuHe.i lor me so near Ibal
I was afruid he would hear me
breathe, angry with him at bla out-
rageotiH proposition tu take me away
tu amuse him, sure to be discovered In
this uiiloitiiiiiite, disgraceful poaltlou
and, worse than all, lu sweeping costume. 1 surely thought 1 should suffocate.
Well, | must do something. They
all knew that I was In (lie boost and
would bunt till they found me, I
could better endure tu face my lover.
My lover-Just think of III Belter
call him my buyer-I n pet dog for
bla amusement! Better Ibat 1 aboutd
come out uf hiding aud face blm than
be cuujjlii eavesdropping. I tried
three limes to make a move befort i
succeeded. The third lime, my heart
beating like n kettledrum, my face
red Sa a beet, I ladled fur the door
leading Into (he hull, culled to father,
"Never mind: I'm here In ibe parlor,"
then slammed II to Impress It upon
everyone without Ihe room tbat I was
abut up wltb my prupot-er and waa to
be let alone. Then 1 turned uud faced
blm.
And he faced me. I don't know
whlcb waa the more ludicrous, tbe
gape on bin face or the mortification
mingled wllh wounded pride on mine.
It aeemed .'.hat we two rather than
take up low* aud murrlnge were shout
lo spring at eacb other Ilka two wild
animals.
The proper thing for me to have done
under the circumstances was to wait
fnr him to speak. But consider Ibe situation. If ll was uut enough to rattle
any girl, hud she even the heart of a
fish, then I am no JnuVe of situations.
Instead of appearing sensible of Ibe
compliment he mul paid me In asking
me to Ik> hla wire, instead of explaining that 1 had been an enforced eavee-
drupper. Instead of saying a lot of
things I sin.uld hnve snld. I did what
I should not. (touring upon blm a tor

In-m-. Wheu I cume to a pause be
ap.*Le,
"I've aeeo you In a number of cos-
tumeo, hut I never saw you look to
pretty aa In this one."
Then for the tlrst time It occurred
to me thut I was doing the wrong
thing, nnd I became conscious of my
costume.
I supisme It ra*« ibe sudden change
of expression on my face. Al any rate,
my pruposer smiled Theo the absurd
Ity of li all occurred to me, and I re
pressed a smite I was In uo luood
for trlfllug.
'Let me explain." he snld "In talking to youi father I was talking as
man to mun, not as man to woman. I
assure you I have uo such talk foi
you." He came up to me and, taking
me by the band, led me to a seat and
eat down beside me. What bt Mid Is
not to be repeated, but It certainly wae
not what be aald to father, tt pot as
entirely different complexion ou tbt

thrilled me.
He didn't apeak long-there waa no

Thst is the v'gorout statement
made by Dr. James A. Macdonald, of

Boston, and it wits utterel during a
discussion of tho proposed arbitration

Two year.- hence the centennial ol
peace between the two countries wilt
be celebrated.
"l)o vou think so long a period ot
International amity would have been

her war budget.
"The warfare against lannrnnre
and crime, ami to advance the cause
ul civilization, and enlightenment and
human welfare, requires as much
courage and eelf-facrilice a* ure needed on the battlefield. Canada cannot afford the cost of war. I do not
mean so much the money cost as the

"The same qualities of unselfishness snd sacrifice that are drawn out
and stimulated by war ore nccd**d iu
the fight agunis-t the lues of honest
commercial aud industrial life, the
great organized and leagued forces ot
greed. The very term 'captain ol
industry' is taken from the military
lexicon, and perhaps unconsciou-ly
reveals the belief that many of our
grcute.it corporations! are organised to
defeat the interests* ot the people and
to prevail st the expense of our public welfare.
"Oue of the things hat hai haunted me, ei-peciaUy since 1 was in tug

PATAGONIAN INDIANS. *
Custom* ot tha Remnants of s Ones
Powarfut Tribe.
Norm-ill*- ihe Tehuelcbei, as the
PatngoiiltiD Indian-* ure culled, are a
peaceubie and kindly people, yet tbey
are Impulsive, capable of strong prejudices, very revengeful and—often
wltb good reason—suspicious of stran*
ners. They are not to be trifled wllh
nnd when under the Influence of drlnlt
are brutal and dangerous. They show
love for tbelr children and wives nnd
ktndoess to their old people. They are
divided Into numerous tribes or groups,
each baring Its chief or cacique, upon
whom tbe burdens of government rest
but lightly.
Tbey believe tn a good and an evil
spirit, whom tbey propitiate, and have
mnny stories, myths and superstitions
connected wllh the sun, moon and
stars, while the slaying ot horses and
drinking of blood form a conspicuous
part of tbelr auperatlHons, birth, mar*
rlage snd death ceremonies, many ot
whlcb are most repulsive.
When Mngellan flrst passed through
tbe strait there were perhaps no fewer
than 10,000 Paiagonlaus roaming from
tbe Olo Negro to tba strait, while today, driven bock from tbe littoral to
the blgb pampas nnd tbe foothills of
tbe Andes, altogether tbey would
probably not total over 500,-Uarpt-r's

The Smallest Pension.
Great Britain's pension system ts as
liberal as may tie considering the vast
number uf persons carried on both tbe
military and tbe civil lists, but In uue
ense the record for smallnesa of payment has undoubtedly been established. Various factors enter Into determining tbe amount to be paid sailors,
and tbese factors so combined against
one old salt that it waa fouud tbat be
could draw a pension of uot auy
mere than fourpence—8 cenls-a year.
Promptly on eacb quarter day ibere
comes an official communication transmitting the amount due In the form of
postage stumps, and be la granted
leave of absencs lo order that be inny
cotivcrt tills Into money at tbe post-
office. Tben, after tbe proverbial uiiiii*
tier of sailors, be promptly proceed* to
"blow" tbe entire amount-New York

A Yankee was dilating to suiue
of his friends un the splendid catch-
03 lie liad uiiule at ii certain lake" in
Colorado.
"Are there any IfOUt Oltt there?"
asked ono friend,
"Thousands of them," replied
the man.
"Will they hile easily?" asked
anolhor friend.
"Will they?" said the fisherman.
"Why, thoy are absolutely vicious,
A man has to hide behind a tree

The housewife sang 08 sho did her
i-hures ami the music floated around
outdoors, Her volco was far from tlio
Mciha class; it would drill a hole
through a pano of glass; the words
wero tierce ami the tune was wnrse
and she shrieked at the end of every
verse. The Judge was passing along
that way aa he mile to court on his
knee sprung hay, nntl he s| k his
head ami lie heaved a sigh aud he
wiped a tear from his good left eye.
"When a housewife sings as she
works,"he said,"then a blessing
rests un tlieir faithful head for her
hltsbnnd's kind and her ehilderu
good and peaee illumines her neighborhood. For wives don't sing if
their hearts are sore, if sorrow stands
In the cottage door."Then the jurisl
thought of his dwelling grand, with
pomp and riches on every hand; of
the jaded woman who lingered there
filled with grumdlings the perfumed
air. They did not work and thoy
sang no Bongs, hut wearied him with
tlieir social wrongs; and the judge indulged in another sigh, nud wiped
:i tear from hisgood rightoye. Then
his old horse stumbled and fell down
