Trask replied that before taking up the question of immunity he must hear from Dolan himself just what he propased w tell and whom he propo to inepha'rale. Thereupon negotiations with Tr. ceased, and Dolaw's trial was pushed through before the election. He pleaded guilty, declared that bis ill- advised attempt to swell the cam- | paign fund had been entirely his own, and that none of the candidates for office, none of the party managers, had been cognizant of it. Mulkern expressed his willingness, in view of Dolan's past excellent record and sc- knowledged services to the city, to have him let off with a light sentence; made an eloquent plea for his client; the judge, and ap- pcintee of a machine-picked govern- or, sentenced him to pay a fine of a thousand dollars and to serve three months in pnison, Maxwell went about the city vociferating that the outcome of the trial was a complete vind |ration foe, himself a Je won crable men who were on the tick e with him; he appealed to the votershe has little part.

[ The total exports of Canadian fish of the most popular varieties last year amounted to 335,000,000 pounds. This figure includes fresh, frozen, salted, smoked and canned varieties. A rich and delicious little fish now becoming popular on the Canadian market is the Eulachon. It is relat ed to the smelt family and is-found anywhere on the Pacific coast between Oregon and Alaska, It iss on the! The eulachon is probably the fat- This, briefly, is the impression gained by a newspaper correspondent from an interview with the Hon. J. M. Hedstrom, M.L.C.,, M.E.C., presi- dent of one of the largest business concerns in the islands. Mr. Hed- strom, who is a member of the Legis- lative Council, has been a resident of Fiji for many years and is unusually well acquainted with conditions there, and well qualified to forecast what the futre has in store for thé colony. Time was when the Fiji Islands ex- isted--as far as the great majority of the people of Canada were con- cerned--only in story books. The tiny colony, with its sandy beaches and palm-fringed lagoons, were associated closely, with pirates, pearls and pieces -of-eight, buried treasure and Bully Hayes. But the years have changed all this, and to-day great mills grind out their wealth of sugar, cocoanut trees help supply the world with copra, hundreds of - thousands ' of bunches of bananas are gathered and exported yearly and, when evening comes, a daily newspaper furnishes the people of Suva with up-to-the- minute cabled news of world hdppen- The halcyon days of romance Worth of Food Stored in Castle. The paternal solicitude which the 'ex-Kaiser always 'showed for starving people has often . almost. touched our hearts, but now we find that the Kaiser's sympathetic tears were erocodilean in character: h Berliner Tageblatt quotes from the Frankfurter Volkstimme an account of what Wilhelm Carle, a member of the Berlin Workers' and Soldiers' Council, found stored away in the Kaiser's castle. Carle writes: * "I requested those on duty to show - me his 'Majesty's provisions--those, be it observed, of the Imperial private household, not of the court, which is regarded as a state institution. I\ was readily shown into thé large storerooms. I expected to find a store but what I saw there surpassed all my expectations.

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN Love of Good Books is a Foundatiov. for Good Character.' When you find a child who loves good 'books, the noxious weeds of envy, hatred, jealousy and | malice are not so likely to grow in his mind- and choke out the exquisite blossoms of love, tenderness, unselfishness; gratitude and the desire to do unto . 'others as they would be done hy, The love of good books is one foundation for good character, Tt is the excep- tion, not the rule, to encounter sordid- ness, greed or insensibility in the man: or woman who kows and loves good books. Robert Louis Stevenson once said that s long as a man had a friend, he had something to live for.' Is it not true so long as one can love a good and beautiful book that life | never 'will: be without hope?

The Fiji Islands are a colonial pos- session of Great Britain, Suva, a fair- sized city," modern in nearly every respect, is the capitél and principal port of call. Fiji is not self-govern- ing. Heading the administration is the Governor, appointed from London. The administration consists of a Legislative Council, composed of 20 persons. Ten of the members dre colonial officers and vote with the Governor. Seven members are rep- resentatives of the European popula- tion, two represent the native Fijians and one represents the Indians who are natives of India. The native Fi- jians do not have the right to vote. As a rule they are not greatly ad- vanced as regarding education, though they are stalwart and hard and in- dustrious workers.. Although the area of the Fiji Is- lands. is greater than that of the Hawaiian Islands, the former have a population of only about 150,000. Of this number about 500 are Euro- peans, the rest being composed OF BIRDS Brilliant Plumage Abounds in Valley of the Jordan. Swarms of European birds visit Palestine in winter and many breed there.. The craes, as in Dante's fine line, still pass the winter "trailing their long-drawn line across the sky," and in the spring the voice of the turtle is heard in the land.
