out by Robert Lnwson and H. W.
Collins for themsel .*•*, Eugene Herrick, B. Jewel, the Bank of Commerce, the Grand Porks Orchard
company and a number of nther
fruit growers. The price . ranged
from £1.25 to £1.40 per box, tbe
highest that has heen fur a number
ot seasons past. Ah hu illustration
of. the.important bearing tbe fruit
growing industry haa on other enterprises, the fact may lie cited tbat
the association alone has paid tbe
box factory over 11200 for fruit
boxes this fall.

Good progress is being made on
construction work of the Kettle Valley jailway on the west fork of the
Kettle river between Beaverdell and
the summit, and unless tbere sbould
be delay in the assembling of material and the construction of tbe
big bridge over Canyon creek, on the,
Penticton side of the Hydraulic
summit, trains should be running
into Penticton from the Boundary
by July of next year. The grade is
already finished to tbe summit and
tbe steel is within ten upiles.f Three
locomotives employed on ballasting
and tracklaying are, working out
from Arlington lakes, ahout ten
miles above Carmi, where the operator is now stationed;. The framing
yards are located at Carmi, and as
fast as the bridge timber is framed
it is being- hauled to the front.
The work on the tunnel on the Pen
ticton side of the summit is progressing satisfactorily, and tbe only
possible hitcb lies in the fact of a
possible delay in the arrival of material for tbe Canyon creek bridge or
some other circumstance whicb
might delay tbe construction.
Just what might happen ie well
illustrated by the fact that as a result of the carrying away of some of
tbe falsework ot the trout creek
bridge by tbe flood last spring it
was only finished last week, when it
sbould bave been done by the middle of June. Another reason for tbe
delay lies in the fact that a man fell
off tbe steel works some weeks ago
and was killed, and after lhat it
wsb difficult to get men lo slay on
the work. As the Canyon creek
ravine is very deep, somewhat the
same difficulties may hnppen to
crop up thero.
West of Penticton a new track-
laying machine is now laying steel
at tba rate of over a mile a day. but
eight miles beyond Trout creek tbere
will be another delay on account of
a small bridge. The contract has
not yet been let on the Coldwater
Junction-Osprey lake section, in
spite of the tact that the coast papers
have repeatedly, and in error, stated
that the last contract on the Kettle
Valley line bas been let. It is expected rhat this contract will ba let
shortly. It bas been definitely decided that tbe Kettle Valley line
will not go into Princeton, as wss at
first supposed.

'And tta-e went before ihem by

—Ex. Xlll, 21.
For the flrst lime In history, since
that marvelous light brought the people of Israel out of bondage, another
pillar of fire will be used to (-all the
People of the world from labor to refreshment at Tulsa.
"The largest gas well in the world
is located within a "ew mileB of Tulsa.
It is being piped Into the middle of the
exposition grounds used by the International Dry-Farming Congress. It
flows thirty million cubic feet of natural gas dally and when lt is turned
loose and lighted on the night of October 22 the visitors and delegates to
tho Congress will witness a sight that
for awe Inspiring inagnilir-.nee has
never lieen equalled.
Six hundred feet straight into Ihe
air tha gas is shot by nature's force
below. It. noise Is like that of an
avalanche, its power tha; ot the cyclone. It will be controlled till Ignited by electricity from a distance of
two hundred yards or more on account of ths heal it creates.
No flame can bc uren until thc gaa
reaches the he'ght of a-ten-story building. Above that a solid pillar of fire
live hundred i'eet In height and a hundred feet thick will Illumine the exposition grounds and the city of Tulsa as
no city was ever lighted In tbe history
Df the world. Sha-.owB will be cast
of people and thlngB five miles away.
The flame iiF.lf may be seen for a
hundred miles.
Gas is cheap iu Oklahoma. The average gas light in the average home
uses but a few cubic foet of gaB ln
nn hour. The great gas light at Tulsa will burn tlf.eon million feet of gas
_, night. Nothing like It has over
been seen since Moses led his people
out of Egypt and Into the promised
land.
Th.? Tulsa light will serve a similar
purpose, for il will give to the world

PIMPLES
Uses for Sawdust
Not so very long ago about the
only real use anyont had for sawdust waB for packing ice. That was
when Binall local sawmlllB were more
common, and the amount of this form
of waste wood was, or at any rate appeared, comparatively small. Now,
when the tendency Is to consolidate
these Into large mills with a capacity
of soveral hundred thousand feet if
lumber per day, the dally waste In
sawdust is seen to be enormous and
much experimenting Is being done to
discover new methods of utilizing it.
Perhaps the most promising venture In sawdust utilization ln this
cuntry la ths manufacture of
ethyrior grain) alcohol. The tawduat
ls treated with sulphuric acid under
suitable conditions, resulting in Uie
formation of sugar, which Is then fermented to produce alcohol. Several
plants have been erected to produce
alcohol from wood ln this manner and
though there are some difficulties
still to be overcome, the ultimate success of the process on a commercial
scale is assured.
Sawdust has been successfully manufactured into briquettes for fuel for
a considerable lime ln Europe by a
very simple process. The shavings
and sawdust are flrst steam-
dried, the rater contained In the
wood being thus evaporated and the
resin almost liquified. The sawdust
II. then compressed under heat into
briquets of the desired Blze, tho contained resin acting as a binder. A
firm in Vancouver is- engaged In a
similar line of manufacture, the sawdust being compressed Into a cylindrical tube, where It Is cut Into short
lengtfcB by a revolving knife, emerging in the form ot small round briquet.. These briquets are clean to
handle, easy to kindle and leave
very little ash.
In England sugar is manufacture!
on a commercial scale by treating
sawdust in closed, retorts with weak
stilphuruoiiB acid under high pressure.
In Austin, Texas, also a plant is being built to manufacture stock (ood
from sawdust by a somewhat similar
process. The tar, pitch and turpentine are removed from the sawdust,
leaving only sugar and fibre to which
Ib added 40 per cent of cottonseed
meal. The mixture is sold for fattening cattle.
Two and one-half parts of clean
sawdust mixed with two parts sand
and one part cement make a warm,
long-wearing and sound-proof floor,
on which carpets can be tacked wltb
leas, injury than to a board floaf, and
which has the advantage over a cement floor ln being more elastic.
These qualities Bhould win an extensive use for this form, of flooring,
which has the additional advantage
that it can be stained to larmonlze
with interior finishings by the addition of color to the mixture while In
a seiql-liquld state.
The sawdust ot certain kinds of
wood Is used ln considerable quantities by manufactures for mttal polish,
for packing, for meat curing, for making safety explosives and composition
novelties, and for fibre and pulp manufacture. Patent cleaning powders
for use on carpets and rugs consist
piinclpally of sawdust, lightly moistened by some cheap mineral oil.

1 bave never told you, he said to
her one evening, that long before I
saw you fate had directed me to you.
■ Indeed, she responded, so sincerely
tliat his heart beat faster and her face
blushed at the compliment.
Yes, and it came about in a remarkable way. Just for fun one day I
consulted an astrologer, and she told
me that I would never care- for any
woman until 1 had met one who wae
then only a schoolgirl—a beautiful,
golden-hatred creature, with wonderful
brown eyes. I laughed at the pro-
phiscy, but the words came true, for I
never cared for any woman until 1
saw you.
Then he stopped, embarrassed, and
palpitating, thinking she would fall in
his arms.
Are you sure your astrological friend
spoke of a golden-haired schoolgirl?
she asked.
How could I ever forget? he responded.
You couldn't possibly, she replied;
only when I was a schoolgirl I wasn't
golden-haired.

of the rabbits up by its ears Squarely
in front of him, asked it, with a menacing look: Twice two?—a shake—
Twice two?—well then: Twice six?
Throwing the rabbit back Into Its

DIDN'T KNOW
That Tea and Coffee Causa Trouble
So common Is the use of tea or coffee as a beverage many do not know
that -hey are the cause of many obscure alls wblcb are often attributed
to other things.
The easiest way to find out for oneself ls to quit the tea and coffee tor a
while at least, and note results. A
lady found out In this way, and also
learned of a new -beverage that ls
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink.   ' She writes:
"I am 40 years old and all my life
up to a year and a half ago, I had been
a coffee drinker.
"Dyspepsia, aevere headaches and
heart weakness made me feel sometimes as though I was about to die.
After drinking a cup or two of hot
coffee, my heart would go like a clock
without a pendulum. At otber times
lt would almost stop and I was so
nervous I did not like to be alone." Tea
Is Just as harmful, because lt contains
caffeine, the same drug found tn coffee.

I'd feel as It I was sinking and tbla
would frighten me terribly. My limbs
would utterly refuse to support me,

know that coffee waa causing the
trouble.

persons were relieved of such ailments

• lot a Pair Bargain
At the annual fair -.t a small town
ln Russia a man observed a gipsy aall
a Pole haggling over the sale of a
horse. When the transaction was over
he asked the gipsy how much he ha£
got for. the animal. The gipsy openefc
his hand and showed a ten-roubl*
note—worth $5-
But Isn't that very cheap?
No, said the gipsy. The-horse Is
lame.
The man then sought out-the Pole,
to whom he said: You have given ten
roubles tor a lame horse.
The Pole smiled knowingly, and remarked: He Is ns sound as you or I.
I saw he was badly shod, and-that wae
all.
The enquirer returned to the gipsy
and reported what the Pole bad sal*.
Then, with a uignlflc.-.nt wink, the gipsy whispered:
He's as lame as a two-legged stool'!
I bad him badly shod on purpose to
make people believe that that was the
cause of his limp,
When the Pole was told- this he
seemed for a moment taken- back and
hung his head; then he heaved a sigh
and shrugged his shoulders.
Ah, well, be said, it's air right: tt

SWCANADA CANCER INSTITUTI, Laurie

One Company Spends $50,000 a Year
Just to Robs Ita Various
Productions
Every frequenter of the motion picture theatres must have been struck,
at some time or another, by ths lux-
tiriousnesB of the stags setting ot most
of the Boclety dramas—the magnificence ot the decorations, the richness
of the furnishing, and the costliness ot
•»f*be dresses worn by ths performers.
Few, however, have any real conception of the huge cost ot these
tblngs, or appreciate the palna taken
by the big Slim producing companies
to get the best of everything.
Take, for Instance, the costume ot
the principal actresses. The capital of
Europe are ransacked for the latest
creattona ln millinery and modes.
When Miss Miriam Nesblt and Miss
Mary Fuller were last over here with
the Edison Company, they paid a villi: to Paris for the purpose of purchasing a stock of such things for future
Edison productions, and ln two days'
shopping they spent more than $15,000.
MIsb Lottie Briscoe, the Lubin star
actress, recently played ln a film
which necessitated no fewer than fourteen changes of costume, each costing
on an average about $76, and she
needs when oh tour, twenty trunks fop
her wardrobe,
Miss Gene (Jauntier wears one set
of furs in Uie Kalem films that cost
$4,000, and she has other sets almost
equally as valuable, Miss Asta Nell-
son is credited with being the most
expensively dressed actress in the pictures. Frequently -her, costumes ln
the society sceneB in which she specializes will cost as much as $500
apiece.
It might be thought that as the actual dresses worn by thu performers
are not seen by the. public, but only
the photographic representations of
them, that common material or Imitation stuff would do as well as the real
articles.
But, as a matter ot tact, this Is far
from being the case. Indeed, the very
reverse holds good. To get a really
first-class photograph, first-class properties must be provided.
In the early days of the picture
play business this was not properly
realized, and a company that laid out
$5,000 on a collection of properties, although expecting tbem to last for
years, was considered extravagant.
Nowadays, on the other hand, lt
would be a very cheap affair that
would start with less than $15,000 or
$20,000 worth; while one of the best
known of the really big firm companies ls reported to spend aB much as
$50,000 every year ln dressing—or. as
It Is technically tormed, 'robing' Us
shows.

Ths Desire to Disagree
There are those who seem to- be
born with the Instinct to disagree. I
have ln mind at this moment one such
person. I have heard him express
emphatically a certain opinion and
then, perhaps .. day or two later, I
have heard him denounce the same
opinion expressed ln his presence by
someone else.
Sometimes, of course, this kind ot
thing Is done by those who love argument for the sake ot the Intellectual
exercise But In this Instance lt was
due simply and tolely to tbe love of
disagreeing.
It we did not spend so much time
in trying to disagree, lf we aid not
torment ourselves with the III feeling
that accompanies the will to disagree,
we should be surprised at the strange
Improvement ln the people and ln the
world about us.
We should find that, through persistent self assertion, instead of gaining
we lost.
We should also discover that
through resisting the. desire to disagree, through giving people as good a
chance to express themselves aB we
long to give ourselves, we should exert a far greater Influence than we do
now, and we should be heard oftener
and with more profit.—From 'Intimations,' by John D. Barry, Paul Elder £

LEPROSY AND PISH
Noted Surgeon's Death Recalls His
Theories of Dlasase
Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, the famous surgeon, who died at Haslemere,
England, at the age ot eighty-four, devoted much time to the study of the
origin of leprosy. He formed the theory that the disease was due to the
eating of diseased or Imperfectly cured
fish, and to confirm his view he set out
at the age of seventy for a long tour
In India and Robben Island, Cape Colony. Ills writings did much to secure better conditions for leprosy sufferers.
In bygone times, he once wrote, I
used to call leprosy 'fish-eaters' gout';
but he latterly preferred the description: fish-eaters' tuberculosis.
Leprosy, he said again, advanced ln
Inland districts ot Europe with the advent of Christianity, and the observance of fish fasts, and lt dslappeared
when Protestantism threw fasts into
disuse. Tbls contention brought him
Into conflict with the heads of the Roman Cathollo Church.
Sir Jonathan, who lived ln Haslemere for fifty years, waa the founder
ot the educational museum there, the
superintendence of whioh he counted
as one of his recreations.

for stomach troubles and backache
caused by weak kidneys, I was unable to wash any clothes for over two

Shortly after a new administration
took told of a wellknown southern
railroad a great number of claims
were preferred against the company
on account of horses and cattle being
killed along the line In Kentucky. To
make matters worse tt appeared that
every animal killed, however worthless It may have been before tho accident invariably figured ln the claims
subsequently presented as being of
the best blood In Kentucky.
One day ln conversation with one
of the road's attorneys, the president
became very much excited In referring
to the situation. Do you know, he
exclaimed, bringing down his fist on

.  Halr-Cuttlng Cauaea Baldness
Several matters of Interest to the
mere layman engaged the attention ot
Ox* British Medical Conference at
Brighton recently. Dr. Barendt, a
skin specialist, tor example, suggested
too much hair cutting as a cause of
baldness.
Why is lt that tbere are so many
bald men and ao few bald women? he
asked. I believe It is because msn
will not let their hair grow to a proper length. The average man wears
his hair about an tnoL long, whereas
lt should ba at least thirteen or fourteen inches.
Dr. Barendt afterward explained
that he considered nature was affronted by frequent cutting of the hair.
It lt ls not allowed to grow to the
length I hava men-Joined lt becomes
dry and loses Its strength, much ln
the same way that the muscles of the
body become flabby and weak lf they
are not exercised.
Dr. David Walsh, a Harley street
skin specialist, told the meeting that
he considered the abnormal loss of
hair on the head, as well as many
skin diseases, was largely associated
with defective circulation of the blood.
Lobs ot hair might often be taken as
a sign ot heart trouble. In support
of this he found that out of thlrty-slx
bald persons he had examined twenty-
four were suffering from valvular disease of the heart. Dr. Eddowes, however, mentioned the case ot an extremely bald man who was one of the
most powerful gymnasts he knew.
Speaking before another section at
the conference, Dr. H. F. Wlnslow declared that we are quite wrong ln our
methods of taking food. He would
not promise any short cut to the millennium but he suggested that mankind would enjoy much better health
lf they would only recognize the fact
that it ls wrong to drink at meal
times. All drinks should be taken
between meals. He was not talking
about alcohol; ln fact, he entirely dissociated his present contention from
any discussion ot temperance. What
he wanted people to do was to eat
without any sipping at all.

Henry James, the American novelist, lives at Rye, one of the Cinque
Ports, but recently he left Rye and
took a house ln the country near the
estate of a millionaire jam manufacturer, retired. This man, having
married an earl's daughter, was
ashamed of the trade whereby he bad
piled up his fortune.
The jam manufacturer one day
wrote Mr. James an Impudent letter
vowing that lt was outrageous the
way the James' servants were trespassing on bis grounds. Mr. James
wrote back:
Dear Sir:—I am very sorry to hear
that my servants have been poaching
on your preserves.
P.S.—You'll excuse my mentioning
your preserves, won't you?
The Rev Dr. John Wesley Hill, of
New York, told the following story
the other night In Illustration ot a
point he wished to make:
I am reminded, he said, ot the
Irishman whose alarm clock stopped
running. He shook lt, but it would
not run. He waited but it did not

Presently he spoke with a half laugh
and a half break of love in the words'.
To love you Isn't enough, lie said,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14,  1913
It is not surprising that the
Vancouver Province should
have been eager to" publish A.
V. Pineo's refutation of the
statements he made while in
this city investigating the
Doukhobor situation, because
it is one of the government's
most subservient organs, as
well as one of its greatest
beneficiaries. But it is more
difficult to fathom the motives
which prompted a tew members of the Grand Forks
board of trade to rush to Mr.
Pineo s assistance, That Mr.
Pineo made the statements
attributed to him in the dispatch sent out from this city
can be proved beyond a
doubt. As much can not be
sail for the statement made
by the "board of trade." There
is an interpolation of an officer who is not an ollicer of
the board; the board held no
meeting between the publication of Mr. Pineo's remarks
and the time the "board" issued its statement. That the
publication .of Mr. Pineo's
views was a wise move will
be conceded by all citizens
who are sincere in their desire to have this vexed ques
tion speedily settled. Some
of leading papers on coast
took the matter up, and they
were waging a vigorous and
winning war in favor of the
people of this district when
the "board" issued its statement. They would have forced
the attorney-general to enforce the laws impartially in
this section of the province.
Their good work has been
nullified by the action of the
"board." In view of the fact
that the government does not
appear to be inclined t > take
any steps to remedy tlie evils
complained of until it is compelled to do so, the only logical conclusion that can be deducted from the board's action
is that it has been led by a
man who wishes to continue
to feed at the administration's
crib and at the same time
play to the gallery at home.
Ever since civilization commenced periodical attempts
have been made by reformers
to solve the social evil problem. Up to the present no one
has found the right remedy.
Some day, perhaps, a cure
for the evil may be discovered.
This end is to be hoped for,
anyway. Some of the ancients
came closer to a solution of
this unsolvable enigma than
any modern reformer has attained. Some three thousand
years before the Christian
era, if our memory serves us
right, in ancient Babylon there
was an annual auction sale of
marriagable maidens. The
pretty ones brought high
prices, and the money thus
obtained was distributed as I
dowries with the ugly ones.
After each season's auction
sale there were no giddy young
girls without husbands. We
have delved thus deeply in
long forgotten lore in order to
give some reformer an opportunity to immortalize himself
by reviving an old custom.
The entire front page of the
Montreal Star,a few days ago,
was devoted the police court
news and criminal cases. The
same condition may be noted
in almost every newspaper
printed in eastern cities. In
view of this fact, westerners
can not be blamed if they lose
patience when they hear the
people of the east libel the
west as being wild and lawless, and even send missionaries out here to reform them.
In western cities the people
could leave their stores and
residences unlocked for weeks
and not have a single article
stolen. If this were tried in
the east, the police would be
overworked and\ the law
courts operateo double shift.
And yet we are heathens,
because some of us may believe in a little more personal
liberty and a less shackled
range of thought than the
average easterner enjoys.

Just on One Leg
It was the usual custom at Seaweed
.■'arm for Mrs. Giles to wind up all the
clocks each Saturday evening. But
one Saturday Mrs. Giles was on the
sick list—nothing more serious than a
slightly sprained ankle—and she
found It Impossible for her to move
about tlie house. So Giles was bidden
to undertake the performance of her
duties.
Now, Giles was short and fat. The
kitchen mantel shelf was high. In
order therefore to"** reach the clock
which stood upon lt. Giles was forced
to requisition the services of a olialr.

Mrs. GileB watclied the manoeuvre in

Tsnnlng Materials In United Statea
The Dgurcs ot the United States forestry service show that there are
some 22,000,000 worth of vegetable
tanning material used every year ln
the United States. The chief source
of tanning ls hemlock bark, but tbe
quantity used Is steadily decreasing,
owing to the depleting of the forests.
The amount of bark utilized ln the
United States in 1906 waB 930,000
tons, In 1907. 816,000 tonB; In 1908
810,000 tons; and In 1909, 698,090 tons.
There are ln all, six sources ot tanning: gall nuts, fruits of certain plants
and leaves of some trees and shrubs,
wood of such trees as chestnut and
quebrocho, bark of many trees and
shrubs, roots of certain plants. The
decreaae In the amount derived from
these usual aources of vegetable tanning Is being met by Introducing new
materials and chemical substitutes.
There appears to bc a limit, however,
to wbich BUbBtltutes can be successfully carried, and tbe question of a future supply of vegetable tanning Is
becoming a matter for serious consideration.

Major Leigh wss essentially S "rolllnS
stone," snd hla travels carried him td
many corners of the globe. Eventually,
twenty-three years ago hs became posse*
■or of a grant of land near LakevlUa,
Ont, where he fanned fer some tlm%

with gun and rifle. Only a few monthl
ago hs wai able to beast proudly that U
eould walk down most of the young mas
ot to-day, and during part of last sua,
mar he was camping with hla wits is
Muskoka.
On one oeeaalon when in the Austral!/
an gold-fields hs hsd na ont of money!
but received trom England, Jnst ai hi

as hs wss in, snd having so means o_
reaching ths eutsr world exeept on fool)
be started forth to walk to Melbourne, a
distance of nearly USO miles. This toot
him several days to accomplish, and os
arrival at Melbourne hs found to his com
ttoraation that he would be unable ti
cash the draft, owing to lack of identifi.
cation. He then had exactly three skill-
ings and sixpence in the world, and witl
this he "decided to indulge in a good
meal, and then retrace his stops. Con.
sequently the same day saw bim setting
out to walk back ovsr the 250 miles, pen.
nllets and footsore. But his optimistii
spirit carried him through all d-fflcultiel
—at times on ths way he waa reduced tt
such straits for water as to bs obliged
to drink ont of puddles in the road. Ar.
rived back at his diggings, hs considered
the question that was before him, and
eventually made up his mind to returi
to Melbourne, wblcb he accordingly did,
and shipped before the mast on a sailing
steamer, working his passage to EnglaaJ
by that means, and taking with him nil
useless draft for £1,000, which was evsn.
tually cashed In ths British Isles.
Major Leigh, who through his mothei
is related to the old Jersey family oi
Poindestre, on his first return to his horns
after he came to Canada, took with bin
as a present to his twin brother * fln«
Canadian canoe. But the Inhabitant!
ot the Channel Islands had never seer
a vessel of this description, and instead
of the canoe being received with the joy
the Major anticipated, he was very much
disgusted when his fsmlly refused at
any prick to enter it, even though hi
gsve tbem personal demonstrations ss tc
its safety.
Through his father, Major Leigh wai
related to sn old Devonshire family, whi
are cousins of ths tame family to which
the Earl of Rothes belongs on hi]
mother's side. Both families are noted
for their hard fighting and wandering
instinct!, Lord Bothes himself being no
exception to ths general rule. On both
occasions when Lord Bethea has bean In
Toronto, he haa mads a point of visiting
Major Leigh, and the two had much '»
common both in character snd tastes.

J. 8. Dennis, sssiatant to ths genera,
manager of ths C.P.B., la reputed U

he'll lays, 'Tu, I remember. It ii

In a three million acre tract!" Hit
memory for the slightest detail ia just
u perfect, and there ia nothing in ths
multitude of things eonnceted with his
J rest work on which he cannot give you

With sU hli gravity and dignity,

being a guest on board his private

"CLANCY, LAWYER''
FORMER M.P. WAS IN REALITY A
SON OF THE BOIL.
On Two Occasions ths Present Auditor
for Ontario Was Twlcs Accused of
Being a Lawyer and rosing as a
Friend of ths Farmer and Twlcs Hs
Hsd tbs Laugh OB His Otitic.
Parliament, some months sgo, enjoyed
a fleeting visit from one of its former
giants of debate, Mr. James Clnnc,v,
now Provincial Auditor for the Government of Ontario. In the old daya
Mr. Clancy, who was a practical farmer
residing near the towu of Wallutvburg,
in Kent County, Ontario, was the
Federal representative of too old constituency of Bothwell, succeeding lion.
David Mills. Ho wss then, as now, a
remarkable student of municipal :■■■■:■>,
and was ao succesiful in iti interpretation that not infrequently he was credited by other members who had not
his personal acquaintance with being
a legal man. On one occasion it ii told
how Mr. Clancy was ruthlessly dissecting the provisions of a bill of unusual
interest to the muaicipalities and attaching the Liberal Government on ths
ground that it was not in accord with
the agricultural interests of Ontario.
Whereupon  the  Liberal  member  for
l.\IU OLAHOT.
Prsseott rose, snd thinking to annihilate the critic, began: "fi ia sll very
well for theie lawyers to pretend that
they repreisnt ths interests of the fanner.," when he was interrupted by a
roar of laughter, which ao ons enjoyed
more than Mr. Claney himself. . A few
sessions later another similar incident
occurred, ln which Mr. George W.
fowler, still a member of the Commons,
wu mads a victim of ths brilliant repartee of the member for Bothwell. Ths
House wu considering Hon. Sydney
Fisher's first seed bill, and, although
they aat upon ths same side of ths
House, Firmer Claney snd Lawyer
Fowler found themielvei at inns on ths
measure.
Mr Clancy, in his customary style,
wu analyzing ths provisions ot ths
proposed legislation, and suggesting
amendments which he deemed to bs
in the interests of ths sgriculutralisti.
Mr. Fowler row in protest. "It is
all very well," laid he, with withering latire, "for my honorable friend
and others of hil legal calling, to pose
as farmers."
Mr. Clancy conld not resist s return
thrust. "If," he obierved in hli quiet
way, "I did not have better auccess
than hae my hoaorabls friend in posing
aa a lawyer "
The rest waa drowned in laughter.
Would Have a Silent London.
The plea for a silent Loudon is growing. Berlin is understood to be the
most silent of the great cities ot ths
world, just ai Chicago ii seriously considering its reputation as the noisiest.
In view of the increase of lunacy aad
nervous disorders among itl inhabitants. But Mr. MeKenna, the Home
Secretary, has refused to accede to the
petition of the city of Westminster for
further poweri to deal with the noise
nuisance. At present the noiiea principally complained of sre automobile
buses, traction engines, barrel organs,
shouting news vendors, shouting coil
hawkers, shouting milk vendors, motor
hooting, cab whistling, street singing
and prayer meetings snd preachings in
the squares aad at the street corners.
With extended powers the police
eould do a very great deal to remedy
ths nuisance, but they have not th*
towers. Until such powers sre granted
London will remain a din ridden capital.
"In Berlin," laid a member of the
Westminster Council, "the police can
stop aay unnecessary noise. There
they go too far. They can atop . boy
whistling. In London if you touch a
man yon can bs arrested for assault,
but your ears may b* assaulted every
hour ot the day and you havs no remedy. Io London residents may complain
of birds singing, cocks crowing and
sounds of that tort, but very little can
be done.
