Pat Found a Reason: For an Extrs. ordinary Phenomenon. - Down in Dundas County, the con- stituency which Premier Whitney? re- presents in the i , there re- sided until quite recently a merchant commonly known as "Pat." His store was sijuated in.a village back from the St. Lawrence several miles, and it was. a real country trading post, where neighbors gathered o' nigirts to talk "hoss' and "crops" and swap stories. Now Pat, a typical son of Erin, had lived many years in the vicinity, and was respected alike for his honesty and wit. He was known by every person for miles around, even as far us Limerick and Connaught (two Irish settlements farther north in the coun- try). One day when business was rather quiet, and no one was about but a small guard of loafers, a lady entered the store and thus addressed the mer- chant: "1 say, Pat, IT am having a deal of trouble with the paint you sold me the other day." "And how can that be?" inquired Pat, his interest evidently very much aroused. : "Well, it's like this," she replied; "the paint will not stick to the floor as it should, while everything which falls on it from above sticks hard and ast." Pat's face was a study, but his na- tive wit did not fail him, "That paint," he replied, "is highly recommended. Sure all the neigh- bors for miles around speak well of it. But in your case 'there must be something 'wrong. Now, you tell me the paint will not stick to the floor?" 'No, it will not." "And it will stick to everything else which falls on it from above?" "Yes. A af "Sure, then, there is only one thing can be wrong. You have no doubt | opened the wrong end of the can and | put the paint on upside down." A Misplaced Adverb.

Of 'such is Francis McGuigan, now of Toronto, and forthgrly of Montresi and other places. which is al- ways happening Ti is A not Mr. McGuigan is wot an aceident, but that the constant association of his | name with big enterprises is an indi- cation of the quality of the man. If confirmation be needed, one has but FYo take enquiry sround.. the. Grand Trunk offices, to be pretty well econ- vinced that whatever happened in that mysterious affair over in Bt. louis, a few years ago, the Great Northern Railway, and not F. H. Me- Guian, was the greater loser because of tne disagreement. : The spot light shows Mr. MeGui- gar, at the present time, as the pos- sible head of the new Lake Superior Corporation at a salary of $25,000 a year.

Well, it's .ikely that that is about the way poor McGuigan would feel; for, to heve to take $25,000 per year would mesa a reduction of a little matter of §10.000 per year, as compared with his ast job.

Why he left it cannot be general knowledge: until this day, for I can't even pick up a hint, It was exceedingly interesting, however, to read that story of the in- terview betwen Louis W. Hill and Francis H. McGuigan, in which the lati « was made to administer several physical rebukes to Louis W. before he drew his final check. A loyal Grund Trunk man wus heard to re- mark. 'McGuigan could do it too," but I am told by a very close friend of Mr. McGuigan that he was the lest man in the world to do that kind of thing, being, in fact, too diplomatic to milow matters to get to that pass.
