tnatairt with your aunt miss cane aid the doctor looking covetously 1 her pocketbook for the 25 his ex pert opinion commanded but she lacks a definite interest in life i suspected it dr jones mghed the girl but since dear jus tin passed out the great man looked at his watch he dreaded a history yes went on the girl rising and going toward the door where a predatory secretary would despoil her of her poor little yellow bills justin had won so many prizes and he really was a wonderful dog for 18 years old the doctor bowed and probably made a mental note of a pet psychosis snothing like a pooch after all s said and done to occupy the mind said the predatory secretary disposing of the bills sally took the elevator and descended to the dazzling avenue it was good to be in the sunshine after the creepy atmosphere of a doctor s waiting room she glanced at her watch and saw it was already past lunch time she pushed her way through a crowd of giggling office help and demanded soup and a salad her clearcut profile and healthy skin were reflected from the mirror lined room luckily she had a table for herself i must get a pet for dear old aunt she thought but how excuse me i m afraid this is the only seat d you mind if i take it such a nice voice a man s and such incorrigibly rr erry ejos despite the slightly formal manner and unsmiling lips why of course sally stam mered pulling htr purse and gloves niarer and moving her chair to moke room for this nice person to sit down i m a strangei in this city 3 id the man and 1 find all the places so crowded but one must eat 1 advise the vegetable soup its rather nice there was a slight scuffling noise a hnh beemed to come from be- tutli the table please excuse my adopted son aid the man he s a particularly n te monkey you don t by any i nance hate monkeys do you sally laughed indeed no i ve just come from the oflice of a pecu liarly disagreeable doctor and he sneered when i told him my aunt s dog had died just like doctors i have no use for them anyway neither have i for myself but 1 live with a dear old aunt and she reads patent medicine advertise ments and nothing would do but she must consult this old man he ad vised her that she needed an inter est in life shouldn t wonder li that s what ails most folks said the stranger i m awfully tv ned about jack you see 1 m an engineer i have 0 get off tomorrow for south amer ca i can t puis bly take the little fellow and i m afraid it 11 break his heart if he has no one to care for him i wonder then sally blushed cartel what would her aged aunt i think if she discovered her confiding n a strange and personable young man my name is george smith said the stranger and i believe we are wondering the same thing that is f jack might not be the very medi cine your aunt needs wasn t that what you were thinking it was sa d sally if you uuldn t mind if you had the time 1 m sure it s awfully queer- but ou see i want aunt to live to be a undred she s promised to try and 1 really think jack might help her to do it we live out quite a dis- ii ce but there s a bus that goes r tht by the street i m afraid we must take a taxi i i my time isn t unlimited you ion

when she saw he box with holes she began to cry s tly it recalled the lamented jus tin the introductions being effect- id she appeared to take a fancy to ung george smith the mon key which was a marmoset looked wistfully from his master to the old lady and then with the uncanny ive of animals jumped into her jp and snuggled a pretty little face into the curve of her arm i guess you re going to give jack a home aren t you airs maud he said rising to go this is my address my fathers that is i thall be all around in construction camps and your letters about jack will be forwarded your father i once knew before 1 lost my own husband who was ijke you a civil engineer by a cruel iccident that is nice i feel i row you you may rest assured jack will have a happy home i feel that now i

slightly over ten million of a popula tion she has contributed more than lier share ol original ideas and inven ttons which have been adopted by every nation of the universe the following are a few things that ertlled by existing historical 12 the idea of the telephone origi nated in canada and the first long distance trials of the instrument were made between paris and brantford 13 canada gave

often wondered what btcaine of curly headed herb lee also fromsockwood bob edmlston from acton btained his entrance examln at on when quite a young man and since because of his age he was un able to get the special railroad rate he used to walk the six miles to school and kept up his studies with distinct credit to himself he went into the methodist ministry in the west but when i last heard of him he had come east and was in detroit the visits of the school inspectors were alwavs outstanding events in he school year for the most part these visits were ordeals for the teachers rather than for thepupils the in spectors of my period were mr john seath and mr hodgson i dont know whether i have spelled the last name correctly or not mr seath after wards the superintendent of educa tion for ontario was the author of he high school grammer text book i used at that time he had decided 1 v ews on almost everything and a nervous timid teacher must have found his visits nerve wrecking ex periences if a teacher did not agree with his opinions and he afterwards found that he himself was wrong and that the teacher was right which realty happened sometimes that teacher was immediately elevated in his opinion the fact that mtr seath and mr olbbard did not al ways agree was no reflection on mr olbbard disagreeing with mr seath was as easy as falling off the proverbial log mr hodgson on the other hand caused no stir other than the fact that he was addicted to the occasional social glass was interested in hearing about coutts he went to moosejaw after leaving obs and after retirement from school duties he and mrs coutts took a trip that he had all his life wanted to take a trip to athens greece as a specialist classics he was steeped in greek and roman history language and liters tyre and as i stated in a prevtou article as a teacher of these subjects he was unsurpassed on the trip he was taken ill i believe he reached athens but either there or on the way back he was taken hi brought to new york where he could be at tended by his son dr malcolm coutts he passed away and his mains wer brought to ge wher be had done some of his very best life work and interred

making it we- used the raw meat of revolutiorf the situation at delhi is the raw meat of revolution when men are lured from the marltimes on the east the prairie provinces on the west and the tobacco states of the south by the promise of work and congregate in such numbers as have poured into the delhi area to find neither work nor the prospect of it and are without adequate food and shelter a danger ous problem is created from such information as we have been able to secure it appears thai someone inspired and broadcast ad vertisements calling for ten thousand men to work in the tobacco fields in ontario in the old days when har vesters were needed in the west and men were hard to get it was common practice to advertise for fifty thousand men in an effort to get the possible five thousand actually required but at this time when so many people are ready to move in a desperate effort to secure employment such tactics are especially pernicious on the face of it there is every ap pearance of a sinister and well design ed move on the part of someone or some group to depress the labour mar ket in the tobacco area to infer that the avalanche of humanity which has descended upon dehll and nearby towns is an organized mob is palpably absurd the men have come from all corners of the country in response they say to definite advertisemenut which they saw and personally read they came as individuals for the transient has no organization nor is he a member of any union unless tt be that of tbe brotherhood of dis couraged and hungry men haying congregated in delhi and finding the promise of work a snare and a delu sion the men are more deeply dis couraged and still more hungry the crux of the matter seems to ba in those advertisements we suggest that a grave duty rests upon the de partment of the attomeygeneralto discover who was responsible for their preparation and publication and to see that every possible clause of law is invoked to impose proper penalties on the guilty parties im such tactics are to be allowed to go unpunished in the dehll episode they will be re peated elsewhere eventually this will result in conditions which wul lead to some outbreak of violence now is the time in the interests of these deluded work seekers and the communities which are embarrassed by their numbers to take steps to pre vent a recurrence of this deplorable occurrence

delivered to john smith at new- castleon tyne one lanchester stan dard saloon just a couple or simple ledger entries about two perfectly standard british cars yet they give an exact picture of the present popularity of motoring among all classes of the community in great britain tbe king s new car is the 40th to be delivered to britain s reigning mon archs since king edward vh took the first a 6 hp model in 1899 nor is the king s interest in motoring con fined to relaxing in the luxurious up holstery or the back seat in a stately royal car be is a very keen driver and the first real motoring monarch on the british throne his grandfather was not so very keen about motoring because after all it was a difficult and nerveracking sport in those pioneer days when a man with a red flag was supposed to precede the evilsmelling mo george v appreciated the comfort and conv of motoring but never known to drive a car while the puke of windsor as king edward vm was so fond of air travel that he accepted motoring as merely a vefltent means of completing the shor ter crossco journeys whenever the opportunity arises the king takes tbe queen and the prin cesses for a run in his own tarrwm he is a ooolheaded driver he prefers to travel at a moderate pace and to enjoy the pas scenery he carefully observes tbe 30 m pjh speed limns in builtup areas and has a friendly wsv for the frrrer who lata him ahn through a traffic jam the- king is especially friendly to wards any car carrying the order of the road badge he is a keen member of this organization of motorists who have driven at least 10 000 miles there is nothing very exceptional about the kings favourite saloon but the state cars of which there are about 40 are very carefully planned and built they incorporate a fluld- flywheel device which prevents any possibility of the engine boiling when the cars have to travel for long dis tances at a crawl the fluid flywheel automatically sends tbe car into neu tral when a more orthodox model would be grinding along in first gear when a new royal car is ordered drawings of the chassis and coachwork are submitted to the king for appro- often his majesty makes sugges tions more than once he has offered a practical idea to assist the chauffeur the royal cars used for the kings household can be recognised by fin ned radiators which are now always black their brass lamps and the maroon coachwork the royal state cars those used only for state processions are distin guished by the absence ot licence pistes and registration numbers but the kings own private
