"All 44 sire BE 1 should have the seat," was the candidate's quick 'and happy retort, Its immediate effect was to put the andience in good hu- mor; and no doubt it éonvincéd many 'the electors that the candidate was 'the best man. to represent them in parliament. os * EF The prospective candidate for an- other constituency was deeply In love, Suddenly the general election was an- nounced. The distracted young man Pwrote his address to the eléctors and a warm epistle to the object of his affections. Unfortunately, he put the communications in the wrong en. velopes. The young lady, to her per. #xity, received the address with wn- intelligible reference to political ques- tions, To the printer went the love letter, with. = uw request that 10,000 copies should be printed immediately. Wives of candidates often do splen- did services for their hushands during the contest. In the case of a large working class constituency the wife of one of the candidates went to all the meetings addressed by her husband and sat on the platform knitting dur: ing the proceedings. It was by no means fancy work upon which she was engaged. She contrived that the audi- ence; should see that she was busy on a hali-knit sock of old-fashioned blue varn, intended, of course, for her hus- band. The homely electors were might- ily pleased. Here was a candidate who was a real man of the people, attach- ed to old customs and associations. He got into parliament, but the rough blue socks he never wore ! I votes are thus easily gained, they ame alto easily lost. Daring the last adneral "election in which Gladstone led the liberal forces, a grocer in a London constituency put in his shop window a placard with the following trade annonneement © "Mr. Gladstone save, 'Jam is the best substitute for butter. Try our honiemade jam." Refore the election in the constituency was over, a woman who had bought a pat of jam entered the shop and in- dignantly exclaimed, "I'll never trust My. Gladstone again as long as 1 liye." "Why not 7" inquired the be- wildered grocer, "Because he said jam was the best substitute for butter," cried th indignant matron. 'It is not, for it won't fry my fish! My Jack won't vote liberal any mare." It is curious, indeed, to' think how trivial things often turn voters against a candidate. At an election meeting a vote of confidence in the candidate was proposed to the meeting and en- thusiastically received; but when the chairman put "The contrary," Jumped up and objected. For some time he hesitated as to the form in which to put his opposition to the candidate; but finally. he said, "He can't be a friend of 'the working 1 ed wives of a man | voters whose political } views aac from those of th bands, rose early om the polling day arried sa their homes.

Smith's Falls, Ont., Jan. 15.--Au- gustus Sabraw, a fisherman and trap- per, met ani awhil® death fu a fire which destroyed. his home Satuidav night. He: lived alone in a emall shanty on the viver Dek three ils from town. Abo t 8:30 some neigh- bors noticed the blaze of & fire in the direction of Sabraw's but, and start- ed at once for the place. . When they ot there they found it enveloped in Tanies, and, lving on the floor inside, they could see Sabraw himself. He was being burned to death, but they could do nothing to save him. The house was completely burned up, and not a stick or hoard of it remained. Dr. McCallum, the coroner, was call- el, but an inquest was not deemed necessary. Both legs and both arms were burned away from the body, and the face and head were gone. The un- fortunate mun was addicted to liquor and his death is directly due, without doubt, to that fact. He was in town on Friday, selling fish, and he had evidently taken a supply of liquor home with him. Besides his charred yemains there Jay a large whiskey bottle, empty. TWO GIRL VICTIMS. Burned to Death in British Columbia. Vancouver, B.C., Jan. 17.--Two girls, one red, the other white, have heen burned to * death "in this province in | the last fow days. The Indian mite-- | she was three years old--fell into a | camp five during the progress of a potlach at Nanaimo. She lingered for three days, sufferthg® much agony, and then succumbed. Kate Cadden, aged thirteen was the white victim. She lives. at Mara. "fhe child. in order to hight the fire, ont a bunch of shavings. She set these alight before putting then in the stove, and her dress caught fire. She rushed out of the house yelling "I'm on fire." Her brother ran to her assistance, wrapped an overcoat around her, and so put out the flames.' But the girl was too badly burned to recover. She died twenty hours later.

The "voices" at election meetings are. often most "disconescting. "1 not believe in doing things by half," said a candidate in the middle of stirring peroration, going to the bottom of everything." "Well," cried a member of the audi ence, "you won't he disappointed in that when the poll's declared." Getting the voters to the polling booths is sometimes attended by ox citing and amusing episodes, At an election for an urban constitueney in a the north the contest was 80 close that every voter who had life at all in him was brought to the poll. Some of the invalids were carried in bath chairs, and in one ease the voter was so ill that he was literally brought in his bed. It was, at this election that a smart manoeuvre was executed had been ont for o week. He re polling, when, huddled in bed clothing and weaving a false beard, he wascar- ried into the booth and voted. The man was recognized byvan agent of the rival candidate, who had been Hooking out for him, and his identity was disclosed to. the police. But the warrant for his arrest was not at the moment available, and, hearing of his danger, he jumped' nimbly from his couch and disappeared. A funny incitent happened at a par lamentary election in Cork a few vears ago. The contest lay between rival nationalist candidates, The When J Waking Tog easpoon 74 toa cupis all that is required.

You can get relief from printer's ink."--Hon. W. 8. Fielding, at Fredericton, N.B., January 4th, 1906. "This Canadian complaint that our Yankee shoe men advertise too ex tensively sounds a bit babyish. Sup- posing they try advertising them- selves, It will probably open their eves, '--Boston Herald editorial, De- cember 28th. These two authorities present in & nutshell the method hy which the manufacturers 'of Canada can keep the markets of Canada for Canadians, Mr. Fielding's observation was in re- ply. to a shoe manufacturer who ap: seared before the tariff commission at Fredericton, to ask for an increase in the duties on American shoes, and the Boston Herald commented next day upon the apt prescription of" the minister of finance. The whole discussion arose through the pronowmeced expression of Charles Slater, of the Slater Shoe company, who emphatically asserts that the tariffl on American shoes is amply suf- ficient to protect the Canadian shoe manufacturer. In an interview, Mr. Slater states : "1 contend that we are making shoes in Canada to-day which are better value than the American shoe, and in figures submitted to the government I have proven my contention. Hf we bad a reasonable reduction in the duties on raw 'material, we could beat the American manufacturer in the foreign export markets. . If ong American brethren would agree to give us free access to their markets in return for a like concession on our part, 1 know that we could command the home market and compete with them in theirs. We have the labor-- in fact the best 'workmen in the shoe factories of Massachusetts are Cana- dian barn. "There is a duty against us of twenty-five per cent,, and that also is the present Canadian tariff. Thus on the American shoe selling in Canada at 36, the duty paid is over $1, and that shoe is no better than the £5 Canadian'made- shoe. "Lam content with the present tarifi on the finished shoe, and our advertising is evidence of our belief."
