I spoke to my brother and he said he was cut but he did not think he was hurt much; he sat up and Ij asked me if I was hurt and that was tlio lust time he spoke. I then picked up Ramsay and laid him beside my brother and wiped his face off. Hn did not speak. About this time a car came along and stopped. "My brother was 17 years old on I April 24th.

FRIDAY, MAY 18TH. 1928. The Cumberland Islander PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND. B. C. EDWARD W. BICKLE FRIDAY, MAY 18TH, 192S. ARE WOMEN "PERSONS"? THERE will bc general dissatisfaction with the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada to the effect that women are not 'persons' within the meaning of the British North America Act and are, therefore, not elcgiblo for seats in the Senate. The emancipation of woman from her political disabilities has been a long process but, evidently, the complete abolition of barriers to sex is not yet an accomplished fact in Canada. The decision of the Supreme Court will probably have the elt'ect, however, of hastening the day when, in Canada at least, the mothers and wives of men shall no longer be regarded as political pariahs. The judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada i nthis matter raises the question, if women are inelegible to ait in the Senate, what makes them eligible for membership of the House of Commons? If Miss McPhail, Canada's only woman M.P., is a "person" in the Commons does she cease- to be a "person" in the Senate ? Or, to reverse the position, if women are elegible to sit in the Senate Chamber, not being "persons," are they legally entitled to sit to membership of both Chamber-; or of neither. They cannot logically or legally common sense would say, be debarred Irom one legislative body while being admitted to the other both legislative bodies being branches of the same government. sex, the "female of the species," as Kipling terms woman. You never ean tell what influence an attractive woman might wield over those susceptible old gentlemen, most of them in the "sere and yellow leaf" and, consequently, not well-fitted to protect themselves from woman's wiles. The morals of men must be protected at all costs, assuming that Senators have morals. Perhaps, on the other hand, the judges thought the ladies might not be safe in Senatorial company. This is a compliment to the Commons but a terrible reflection on the Senate. Perhaps the judges think there are too many of women in the Senate already. LANDACT AMENDMENTS THINK PROSPERITY THERE is much talk of Ca lada being prosperous today. It is doubtless true. The country s prosperity need not be questioned, Most of us are more concerned with our individual prosperity than with the country s. This is a quite natural feeling, though possibly somewhat selfish. Possibly the best way to make and keep a country prosperous i.. to have each individual in the country prosperous, ll is not true national prosperity when there are some tu.prosperous. There is an individualism in regard to prosperity that is often overlooked. Prosperity is largely a matter of personality. If one decides to be prosperous and refuses to be poor, he can be prosperous . It is harbouring the thought of poverty that keeps us poor. Will. Shakespeare said, "There is nothing evil but thinking makes it so," which may be applied to man's financial condition moil aptly. Perhaps we might put it this way, there is nobody poor but thinking makes him poor. This sounds like but poor consolation to the fellow who is hard up, to the wife and mother making a desperate struggle to make both ends meet on the husband's low wages, or to the man or woman out of work. Yet it is true tha the very sense of poverty, the feeling of it, make, poverty worse. It induces a feeling of hopelessness, dims the eye and slows the step.

Carl repeated. He sat down hefore the typewriter, his happiness vanished, fated only hy Uie possibilities of another failure. Paull whispered to Bruce:— "Please"—and started toward the dining room, llruce said quietly:— "Well, I'll have to have a copy to take with nie to Loudon. I'd almost forgotten, hut I kuow. rather well, too, a producer—nice chap—named Gaunt." "You'll forget again." said Carl, sulky with suspicion. "I ehant. Word of honor. 111 take yuur play to daunt the very first day Hu in London. He'll want it—I know ho will! He's a brilliant fellow"— The clouds vanished. Carl jumped up from tlie chair and took his friend by the hand. Ills face was jubilant. A producer iu London! And Bruce said he'd be sure to take tlie play! "You and Pnuli," said Carl, huskily; "my best friends—my good angels.' "Oh, come! 1 don't fancy myself in wings nnd a pleasing smile," said Bruce, laughing. He thought, poor hoy, wliat will become of him? These i moods; these—well tenses? He look- ' the eye of the physician, tlie eye of the diagnostician, He though further: ■ llie will piny the devil with Carl, Al-, 1 oud lie said:— ! "No. I'm not your angel Carl. I re- ■ fuse thc job. Now. Pauli might lit the ! bill." ! "Pauli," suid Carl in a strange voice. ; "Bruce. I want to speak to vou about I Pnuli." The door bell rang sharply. Bruce's grave face cleared. He hadn't warned I to talk nbout Pnuli. He wasn't one to ; speak of the Lhings nearer than his 1 skin, dearer thnn his life, closer thnn . his heari bents. ; "Oh, damn," said Carl, "I suppose ' it's the Winckelmans." 1 Pnuli ran to answer tihe bell, shrilling impatiently tor the second time. CHAPTER THREE Pnuli opened the door. But not to the Winckelmans, that Jolly little couple across tiie hall. Beaming ponderously from llie sill, Carl's father, August Behrend, confronted her, "the incomparably august Ilehrend," ns Bruce, punning atrociously iu his own language, called him Pauli remembered this, inopportunely enough, and almost giggled as she greeted him: — "Oh, Mr. Behrend, how nice to see you! Please come In. Mr. Behrend advanced impressively Inlo the room. He was a big mnn. amply hechinned, a mun whose upward pointing mustaches, whose blond, coarse hair cut en bosse. whose light, restless eyes, nnd heavy, practical bauds ail suggested vitality, energy, will power. His clothes wore excellently cut, he wore too much--but good jewellery. He looked what ile was, successful, complacent, Insensitive nnd domineering. He putted Paull on the shoulder. "Little Pauli." Ills eyes roved over her in astonishment. Pauli, recalling her apron, put back her hands to unfasten the strings She snid, blushing a little, furious at herself for caring: — "My apron! I—thought it was earlier —nnd still had things to do in the kitchen." Mr. Behrend beamed forgivingly upon her. His momentary agitation had vanished. He hnd though! to be received in festive garments -had he not donned his own? He looked wllb approval on tbe very simple, pretty little frock the removal of bhe npron revealed. "Not nt all, Iiltle housewife!" sold he. and advanced further into the room which seemed to shrink before him. Curl hnd risen and was looking for something with which tn cover bis typewriter. As Paul! ;ook off tlio apron Bruce mhde a long arm, took It from her.lnld It over the machine Just as Carl turned to receive his father's greeting, one which wns tinged with ■ Just the correct amount of parental ' tolerance nud patience"— "Ah, my boy"— He shook hands witli his son, nn unnecessary gesture It wouhl seem, considering the fact that they had parted only a few hours hefore. Yet somehow the elder Behrend managed to convey and not too subtly, thai he was bestowing a fnvor upon his "boy" wltb his hand, perhaps oven a temporary pardon, or, at any n-ate. an armistice. Now he turned to Bruce and greeted bim with a sllff and grave formality. A sense of constraint wns over the en- I tire group. I Baruska darted In breathless. It I had occurred to ber that she'd heard 1 the bell some time ago—preoccupied with her goose, she conveniently allowed it to ring. Now she was ready to answer It if the Fates had sent a pntlent visitor to the door. Tbe Fates had Jan. Carl's servant, wns there now, having made slower heavy basket he carried, as well as thc propriety demanded by the occasion so muny paces in the rear of the elder Behrend. Theru he stood, a stocky blond boy. with a flashing nervous smile and eager eyes, clearing hia smiled at him and spoke liis name, "Come in Jan." She turned to Baruska; unpack Mr. Bebrend's karlo- wltzer aud put the bottles on the sideboard. And tell the professor tho guesls are here. I heard him come in the side door some time ago; lie must be In his room." Baruska darted a bovlnely coy look at Jan and led the way through the dining room. Pauli turned back to Mr. Behrend. "Do let me have your hat, and tlnd a comiortable chair"— Behrend, who regarded the slraigii backed chairs in ttie room with chers? Oh, that's wonder- ' llOllil ful." Behrend said carelessly:— "l'er.-onaily, a music hall bores me, but today ho must think lirst of Carl nml liis pleasure.' He thumbed the tickets over and s.ud, expansively, "Six tickets!" IMuli looked apcpaliugly at Carl, who was turning over ihe pages of a magazine ou the table. As no one else hiPbs'ie she said courageously: — "But there ure seven of ua. No, with tittle Kurt, the Wiucklemau's Child, we are eight altogether." 'Eight? Well, the child doesn't count," said Behrend caielcssly, "and perhaps Carl would remain home-- wilii 11 book." Pauli Hushed with anger. "I'll stay," she said.

Behrend. stretching his legs luxuriously und eying the room with patronage, remarked, largely:— "Thanks—I don't coddle myself"- He looked at Carl as one who should say, "There's a milksop for you!' and continued:— "And so the boy's four and twenty. I should have forgotten, you know—press of business and all that—if It hadn't been for this little party. When his mother was alive we celebrated, of course. Well, she was sentimental like all women- babied him, spoiled him. Thnt's what's the matter now. I've always believed In the Spartan ideal of upbringing, vou know. Brought up that way myself." Carl's sensitive mouth shook u little His mother! If only his mother had lived. He remembered here vividly a woman with long, lithe, deep-bosomed body of a goddess, and great, steady blue eyes. She'd healing hands and a heart to which .1 heart bewildered little boy might always come for consolation. While she had lived she hnd been a rock of strength, a living buffer between himself and his father. Pauli said hurriedly: — "The Wincklemans are late." "I ve n question to ask your father." announced Behrend importantly. "Business . of course. As a rule professors are fools, dreamers, visionaries But not your father, Paull. 1 always say that learning Isn't altogether waste since that time Arndt's education helped me make three thousand crowns." Bruce chuckled softly to himself as he lighted bis pipe, and looked over at Behrend, who produced a long siip of paper from a pocket book and waved It iu the air. "Here.'' said Behrend. "is the schedule I've drawn up for the day"—- Pauli seated near him, reninrkcil. meekly;— "We had some plans to"— Behrend looked at her with tolerance. He continued with an nir of brushing aside any plans other than his own. "After dinner we shall all walk in the Prater." Pnuli smiled hopefully. "That was our idea, also," she said. encouragingly. Behrend considered a moment. Bruce thought, a lltlte angry, a Utile amused "By Jove—-he's pondering on giving it tbe chuck—seeing that some one else thought of it first," but Behrend con-. tinned with tremendous condeacen-' sion:— ] "Indeed? Well—still, it's a good idea. Then we'll have coffee ia 1.1 think, the Third Coffee House, nnd then" Hers he dug Into the wallet once more and produced some slip- of green paper. "Six tickets for Roil- ncher's! My birthday gift and not inexpensive, I can tell you." Paull jumped up. The little girl in her—the little girl her friends ofie:*, lost sight of in that motherly, brooding way she had—shone from her eyes and was manifest in her delight. She '■.Nonsense we'll gel another ticket," be snid. Behrend looked annoyed. With a ;esture which indicated . . . What are , few crowns to me more or less? he answered:— "Of course, you took the very words oul of my mouth"— "Let nie get." Bruce suggested diffidently. "Certainly not! I'll telephone . . of course, on Sunday it won't be easy to illl in"— He reached fur the telephone and, his elbow brushing Puuli's apron aside he stared at tbe typewriter it had concealed. There was no mistaking lt. . a typewriter's a typewriter and very unlike anything else aud there it sat, squat and new and shining. "What's this? A new typewriter . . by the telephone? Pretty extravagant t'or a professor—typewriters and telephones!" Carl tossed the magazine to the table and turned . His face was quite Hushed. He explained:— "It is mine—the typewriter." Behrend raised his eyebrows. He said, flicking nt the black nud white keys:-- "Ob. of course, with all thc money you are making such toys are easily accessible to you." Pauli bit her lip.

This superior rating is hardly a matter for congratulation, as the charge is one that will cost the citizens ln the neighborhood of $460 per year additional for scliool rates. It will also benecssary for an election for two additional trustees to be held immediately, as the act calls for a school board of live members in a second class scliool district. At present the city Is receiving a grant of approximately ?5fir> toward eauh teacher's salary from the Government. but under the new rating this will be cut down to the extent of $!)() per teti- cher per year. The school board bas put up a vigorous light lo have the city retain Its old rating, and iu this they have been ably backed up by the member for the district, but the uu- swer of the Government is that the fact that Cumberland has an actual daily attendance of over 250 pupils. It Is out of tlie cabinet to sanction tho retention of the old rating. When the city has an actual average school attendance of 800 pupils it will become a school district of the lirst class, and receive a still smaller amount of financial assistance from the Province for school purposes. For yearn the city has had an enrollment far in excess of this number, but the actual attendance is still well under that mark. • * * Marsden-Denton Wedding.
