Bryan, brother of Secretary of State William J. llrynn, told of an incident along that line. One afternoon two pretty girls rambled up to the platform of a country railroad station. Evidently, from their dress und manner, one of the fairies was going to take the train and the other had come to see her off. . Eventually tlie train steamed Into the little station, but the traveller seemed ln no great hurry to got aboard. With walcli in band tlie conductor waited. Finally, he looked toward tho fair passenger impatiently. "Madam," said be, with another glance at hiB watch, "If you are going on this train you must get aboard." "Just a minute," returned the passenger, with a ilustered expression. I must give my sister a kiss." "Get aboard, mis_,'' obligingly responded the conductor, "I will attend to that."

GRIEVES Builder & Contractor An order immediately to stop the sale of all sweepstake tickets in the province l'as been issued at Victoria by Hon, W. J, Bowser, Attorney-General, The decision was made with the view of coit- verinff all the money in circulation for useful purposes during the war time. "I think it imperative" said the Attorney-General, "that the department should place the stamp of disapproval upon anything coming within its jurisdiction which incites people to be reckless with their hard earned savings. I am induced to take this attitude mainly for the reason thnt it is absolutely vital tï¿½ï¿½ tlie well being of the people during the period of trial that is ahead of us, that they should not be tempted to scatter their earnings recklessly. On the contrary everyone who can exercise any influence at a time like this is under an obligation to encourage thrift, economy and self denial." Although the City Conncil recently prohibited the sale of sweepstake tickets in Vancouver, the the sale of tickets has been continued in the adjoinig municipalities and in other towt.s in the province, Two firms in Victoria, two in Vancouver, and one in New Westminster have been conducting sweepstakes at regular intervals, one of which has sold as high as 80,000 one dollar tickets on a single race. The opponents of sweepstake gambling have urged that not only is there a lot of money taken out of current circulation, of which ten per cent, is held back by the promoters, but that it has caused a lot of petty gambling. Several sweepstakes have already been arranged on the St. Leger race which will take place in England on Sept. 8. As the attorney- general's order calls fot the immediate discontinuance of all sweepstakes all over the province the moneys already received from the sale of these tickets will have to be returned.

In 1829 Gowan came to Canada, ' and immediately began spreading | the doctrines of the Orangemen ' among the Irish protestant settlers I in this country. As a result of 1 his propraganda, Orange Lodge No. 1, the first in Canada, was started iu Brockville in 1830. Gowan continued his work and several other lodges were founded by him. and in 1832 he instituted the Grand Lodge of British North America, He was the first Grand Master of the Orange Lodge and continued in that capacity for many years, while he was active in. the organization until his death.

C COURTENAY, B. C. VICTORIA NOTES That the question of a closer feeling between all Canadians is engaging the attention of oth is is evidenced by the announcement of the conference to be shortly called by the Premier ot B. C, composed of the leading men in the political and business worlds without restriction. Another notice states that the Canadian manufacturers are anxious to keep their plants going all next winter aud to that end will appeal to the people of Canada to support Canadian industries in preference to patronizing the gentleman on the other side. The war has not yet begun so far as a really big engagement is concerned, especially with regard to Canada, The Canadian dead have yet to come, the Canadian contingent of "men broke in our wars" have still to arrive, Canadian homes have yet to be deprived of breadwinners, and the failures in the commerical and industrial world as a direct result of the war have yet to be made known. Yet, all these things do happen in wartime aud will be upon us soon; the sooner preparations are made to meet them as they occur the better. Rumours are current in Victoria of sacrifices soon to be demanded of an important section of the community in the interests of the Dominion and Province. Whether they_are true or not will soon be seen, but the number of people already suffering as a result ot the recent depression will surely be augmented by others who will suffer as a result of the war, Let all Canadians then stand shoulder to shoulder, for mutual support and benefit, in a way never before realised; it will be a splendid rock of defence behind that fighting Hue of which all Canadians are so proud, and it will serve to show the world that the people of Canada are really united, and ready to see this thing through, come what may. If at .such a time, white men, women and children starve in Canada while orientals exist upon the employment given them by Canadian people, then farewell to the greatness of the Do I'inion and farewell to the patriotism and highmindedness of the Canadian nation. In this connection the Board of Trade might well issue a manifesto pointing out that every dollar spent in Courtenay and district benefits directly and indirectly every inhabitant of the Valley, Also that every dollar sent away on the ' 'cath- with-order'' system is at the ultimate expense of every person in the community. It is stated that large numbers of Hindus are now going back to India in consequence of the closing down of many lumber mills. It is to be hoped that, upon the resumption of work in the mills, it will be possible to employ white men. In the meantime, pressure can be brought to bear upon the B. C. Government to renew the prohibitory measures concerning immigration, with a view to discouraging the return of the orientals. The Vancouver Board of Trade have issued the following manifesto which is well worth persual and which night serve as au example for other bodies to follow.

A Jew minutes later Barbara, with her now escort, was walking down Vauxhall Bridge Road In oroer to reach the underground for St. John's Wood, if little Barbara Chance knew nothing about London, there was not a corner of tbj great metropolis that Dan had not made cciiualiitance with. Hu had begun his present campaign by smartening himself up as much as possible. This was a great expedition in liis life. Ue felt that he had suddenly become a man. He felt further that he was walking out with his own special "gel." He wondered if any of his friends would observe blm. He hoped so. He guessed how mad they would be, could they see him at this juncture. Dan was intensely happy. His heart was beating fast in his breast. He did not dare to speak to liis adorable divinity; but to glance from time to time at ber face, and to hear her pretty voice, meant paradise to him. Barbara had put lier purse into an inner pocket. She had also, by Dan's own suggestion, given him a couple of shillings to spend for her. This trust on her part "bowled him over," as he expressed it, "for ever and ever, Amen." It. was Dan who took the tickets. Ob, wasn't, lie proud! It was Dan who directed those beautiful little feet lo the plact where she wanted to go. Was not this cold and damp winter's day full if sunshine for happy Dan? Barbara thought his London very, very dull and desolate, but to Dan It was fairyland. He wondered what (his most beautiful young lady wished to say to Miss Lacy, but on no account would he be inquisitive. He was as reverent in his adoration as I hough he wero ilu highest gentleman in the land. They stepped from the train at the right station. Barbara told Dan the slreet. They found It . round them- There wns a large, common-looking vase with paper flowers in it. The grate was doMkute of (Ire, but was tilled with some dingy paper shavings, and from the mantelpiece bung some art curtains, folded back in coquettish style These gave what, the lady of the house considered an air of Immense rellucment to the room. Tli,. two windows were also draped wth similar art curtains, with lace curtains peeping from beneath; j these were meant to be while, but I were in reality yellow from London ' smoke anil fog. Presently lhe lady whom Barbara ! had come to seek entered the room. She was a small, thin, not to say wizened, woman of between llfly and sixty years of age. Her hair was scanty, and w'as coiled wiih tightness round her head. Her lemples were very much sunken, and her eyesï¿½ï¿½ï¿½small, beady black had a quick, anxious, suspicious ga?0 In them. A long lime ago ihls woman had remember dearï¿½ï¿½ï¿½my your Whal old -of been Barbara's governess. Barbara ran up lo In* row and took her hand. "Do you know me?" she said, "or have you forgotten ine?" Now, Aliss Lacy was shortsighted, and as when sbe Inst saw Barbara, Bhe was ii little girl with her hair falling over he: shoulders, she did nil at llrst. recognize the grown-up girl who now greeted her. "My dear. 1ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½1 seem lo you, bulï¿½ï¿½ï¿½forgive mc; my sight, it Is nol good" "I am Barbara chance, pupil." "You, Barbara chance! WtirlhlngUm-on-the-111)17" "Yes.

DODDS ' KIDNEY / PILLS a &_&P_5fr_rf_. W. N. U. 1011 A traveller, on u freezing January night, culled at an inn, but found it full. "Well, landlord," he said. 'I can't sleep out on the s.iow crust. You must put mo up somehow." "1 guess, then," snld the landlord, "we'll make up a bed in the ball aud. curtain it off for you." Accordingly this was done. And the traveller, under a rather tlick blanket, fell asleep. But in the middle ot the night be awoke freezing. An ley draught blew through his hair and moustache; it, even lifted h'.u thick blanket and swept ov _r his hare legs. The traveller arose. The sheet that had been hung up as a partition had become unfastened, and It was waving merrily in the breeze. "Landlord," said tl.e traveler. "Landlord!" "What Is 11?" a voice shouted hack. "Landlord," said tbe traveller, "will you please let me 1 rve a paper ot pins to lock my bedroom door with?" Crocodile's Artificial Jaw Tho Frankfcrt zoo possesses a special treasur. in a Gangetic crocodileï¿½ï¿½ï¿½or gavialï¿½ï¿½ï¿½tlu, only specimen of its kind in Germany. ConsequenMy there was great tribulation the other day when thb precious beast broke Its jaw on the rocks in its pool and all efforts to persuade the broken bone to reunite were in vain. A military doctor, Major Marx, has succeeded in replacing the fractured jaw by an artificial one of aluminum. The capture of a wild cat in Arn- namurcban Forest, Argyllshire, will come as a shock to the popular belief that the species is extinct in Scotland. As a matter ot fact, quite a number of the anliaals have bean killed or captured ir. recent years in the Highland deer forests. Five years ago a gamekeeper trapped fourteen within a week or two at Glenmoriston, one ot them measuring four feet from hi ad to tip of tall. Tbe venom of the cobra, the most deadly of all Indian serpents, has always proven more or less ot a mystery, In view of the fact that if the poison gla.ids are cut out of a newly killed snaki, of thl3 species, their contents may be swallowed with impunity by a healthy human being, the poison being digested in a perfectly natural way, while If the person swallowing the venom happens to have nnv sore place lu his mouth at the lime his death is almost instantaneous. The queen's chief'dresser, who Is i(sponsible for ï¿½ï¿½he packing of her majesty's luggage when the court r.'oves, has a list ot certain personal and specially treasured belongings which always go with the queen from one royal rcsidei.ee to another. Among these treasures are a Bible and a shawl, both wedding presents from the late Mrs. Gladstone. Altogether there are some thirty articles on the list, Including ten photographs of different members of the royal family. "Gentlemen, I can't lie about the horse; he Is blind in one eye," said the auctioneer. The horse was soon knocked down to a citizen, who had been great,y struck by the auctioneer's -honesty, ar.d after paying for the horse, he said: "You were honest enough to tell me that this animal Is blind in one eye. is there any otber defect?" "Yes, sir; there Is. He Is also blind In the other tye," was the prompt reply. "Why is It that the strawberries at the bottom of your boxes arc always so much smaller than those at the top?" asked Mrs. Newlywed. "Ah, madam," said the grocer, "you don't put it quite correctly.

The brain was laid bare and in bringing the pat- lent to the hospital a handful of the gray matter leaked out. He was trepanned and finally recovered, his mental faculties apparently as good as ever." "Your story is Interesting," interrupted an auditor, "but it sounds tj me somewhat inconsistent."
