J. H. Metcalfe Made Himself Poor For His Party. Some of J. H. Metealie's friends in- timate that the reason the Conserva- tive Association turned him down was because he hadn't the funds ne- cessary for a campaign, They point out that he spent everything he had in couseryative interests, when he was in his prime, and did so ungrudging- ly. Like some others, he made him- sell poor. for the benefit of his politi- cal party, and no man could da move, they declare. The party took his all, and now throw him out. It is pointed out that Mr. Metcalfe is not a man who can be bought off for a position, ONE-RAIL RAILROAD. Through Air, at Turkey-Red City! of Barmen.

Canada had look- | od' after het own protection, and had | helped Great Britain. England's friendehip for the United States was such that she was prepared, appar- ently, 10 sacrifice Canadian interest every time to those of that nation. It was a position of subserviency which Canadians could not continue to oceupy. The time had come when Canada should have a navy of her own, and when she should be placed in a position of equality with any other mation. Sir Willrid Laurier, in replving to the discussion, acknowl- edged that there were anomalies in the position which Canada occupied in relation to Great Britain, but they had no grievance whatever. With regard to the situation on the Pacific coast he believed British diplomacy had been far seeine. and that in the matter of their yvelations with Orien- tal and Caucasian races, a system would be evolved which would he sa- tisfactery to all.

While there he was approached by a stranger, who stated hé was an, Oddfellow and in weed of money to take him home. Mr. Nut tall, who, by the way, is a member of that most worthy organization, was touched by the stranger's appeal and advanced him $1. which he was assured would he returned him in a few days. Weeks passed, then months, then years. In time Mr. Nuttall had altogether forgotten about the trans action, but the other party had not Me. Nuttall was surprised, last Wed- nesday, to receive the money, the stranger having apparently lost his address, but a few weeks ago met a party from Kingston up west and in course of conversation asked- if he knew Mr. Nuttall, when informed that he was now livink. in Gananoque, the loan was promptly repaid. ------------ Star Edition Of 10c.
