The man on the outside has been puzzled to know just why Mr, Gra- ham was chosen for a seatin the cabinet at Ottawa. The secret is revealed in a despatch from the cap tal which speaks of Sir Wilfred's desire to utilise Mr. Graham's " great talents for organisation." In other words his help is needed in "running" the elections. Mr. Graham graduated under Ross re- gime. TheHon. James McMullan claims . despite all that is said in dgrision of the Senate, that body is really " a centre of great activity." The same may be said of the bowels of the earth, no doubt: But in both "casa the only outside evidence of life is the over~igpal esca,.= of a few jets of gas, through the ciovices and key-holes. One hundred and fifty expert judges will be sent out to fall fairs this by the Department of Agricul- ture, instead of one hundred and twenty-five as last year. Port Perry people who have been holidaying are getting home again, and another week or two will see the whole town settled down to business with renewed vigor.

Success invariably at-- tends the use of Catarrhozone which has cured catarrhal deafness of twenty-five years standing.
