as we watched lastjweek the progress of the county musical fes tival we inwardly decided thaf there was one posi tion we would never wantfeven if we had the quali fications and that was adjudicator at a childrens contest true these men for a day had irregular hours of eating and a tedious time but that might occurin any vocation and is not an insurmountable obstacle- t j the thing which would have been hardest would have been the rendering of decisions in some classes twentyseven wistful mites came along and in voices that trembled and excitement that kept them sometimes from doing their best

difference exists between a brick wall and a heap of bricks to be sure the bricks are in both but in the wall they are held together by the mortar so that they no longer are separate entities they are united unified some folks do a great many worthwhile acts in the course of a year but no one is so well aware as themselves that they do not count as they should the reason is that they have no great controlling purpose such as paul had when he said this one thing i do instead they act on the impulse of the moment some may do a generous act todaytn3isiweatinjtrjyial thing there is no unity in their life because there is no definite aim men have lived seventy years and over and had nothing to show for it at the end but a heap of bricks if you want to be counted among the builders you cannot start too soon a lot of patience another hard task but which was nevertheless admirably done was the discipline and training of the children to the audience it seemed sometimes monotonous to hear the same piece given as many as twentyseven times in twentyseven different ways by as many individuals but how many times we wonder do those teachers of music listen to that same selection from the same pupils for many days and each time it was heard gave help and instruction to render the number better without a doubt job didnt have all the patience in the world teachers and pupils might well be congratulated on the standards that were made possible only by hours of practice and attention to detail there wasnt an event in the whole festival that didnt have com petition that acclaimed the winner worthy of the prize and those prizes mean a lot more than their value in dollars and cents just how over five hun dred children were managed and brought into their places so readily and without confusion is another part of modern teaching efficiency for which credit must be- giveiir to parents and friends who wit nessed the contest and judging it must indeed have beenta

intoxicants live plainly family hlstojyhas always had an intriguing interest for me and only this week a strange coincidence came my way in connection with it a little while ago i had a short story published and for want of a name i made use of my grandmothers maiden name it had not struck me as being in- any way un common so i was quite surprised when i got a letter asking if the name was fictitious as the writer did not know of any family bearing that name except those related to them a few letters went back and forth and as far as we could judge we were both branches from the same family tree after that i let the matter drop and practically forgot all about it when lo and behold one afternoon this week a strange car drove in the lane and unloaded a whole crowd of newly found fourtyflfth cousins what i shall do if i unearth any more relations i dont know as my last count of relations known and unknown- ran well over a hundred scattered all over the world and the half of them i have never seen my grandmother had ten children al of them grew up and married and they each had about ten children each they in turn grew up and married and sim mered down to families with two

guilty of crimes in other countries have found refuge in canada they dare not return to their own land and yet are not content unless they can stir up strife and incite riot in the country of their

these men who could not live peaceably in their own country and have had opportunity in canada and cannot exist under our conditions they should retflrn to their own land if not without compulsion
