A short time before his death he drove | fifty miles across prairie; got caught {| in a blizzard, and slept all night un. | der his upturned cutter. Such an ex- | jeri ience was no novelty to Dr. Lundy. | He belonged to the swift-passing type | of prairie doctor that went the trails before there were railroads. In all Manitoba there was no character bet ter known. He went to Portagé in 1852 when the caravans of Red River } carta came honking up from Fort Garry en route to Edmonton, Battle ford and Calgary. Portage, now the junction point of four railways, three of them transcontinentals, was then the point where the old trails diverg- ed. Dr. Lundy knew every trail, every coulee and every hill in that part of Manitoba. He was a young man when he started trailing; had spent a short' while in Brpee County, Ontario, after graduating from Trinity in 1880. In he saw many changes; more : formations in the country than in. the science of medicine. He was & char. acteristic "old-timer," who knew as much about Indians, as about white men. To doctor up a sick man best of a hundred miles away was part of Dr. Lundy's practical religion. He bill; and he was never known to need money. But one morning this "Dr. Me. Clure," of the prairie, was found dead in his office. With a score of doctors in the town where once his had been the only shingle, the long trails of Manitoba will never feel the click of his horse's hoofs again The citizens of Portage were deep- ly interested in Dr. Lundy. There is much talk of a handsome stone me- morial in the form of a statue, to adorn a public square in the town. If this act of benevolence is carried out, line of benevolences practiced tentaticusly by Dr. Lundy. The late doctor was Shakespeare, Ont., eldest son of Dr. J. B. Lundy, once of Preston, Ont. unes- school at Galt, Ont. He entered Trinity Medical Bchool, Torento, in 1877; graduated Fellow of Trinity, and M.B., Toronto, in 1880; examination for license to practice in Ontario that year. He short time in Bruce County, Ont, going to Portage la Prairie in: 1882 He lived there continuously until his death Member of the Manitoba Medical Association; he was past president of the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons of Manitoba.

The discussions of the question of votes for "women which have laken place in Torento of late as a result of the visit of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst recalls a story of a retort onee made by Sir Wiltrid Laurier to a member of a party of ladies which waited up- on him as a deputation, asking for several! things. The main point was the of enacting anticigarette islation. eo members were well-posted W. C. T. U. workers, and they presented their arguments with force and ingen- uity. But presently one of the ladies strayed from her subject, in an at- tempt to bring tact as well as argu- ment to bear an appeal to the Pre mier "If you would only do this for us and 'then give women votes, we woud be glad to do something for you." she "Ah," observed the Prime Minister, with his courtly smile.

In 1901, four passengers on board the South African liner Greek were playing ordinary' whist after dinner in the evening. A. held all the thirteen hearts, B. all the diamonds, €. all the clubs, and D. all the spades. The odds against such a thing happening have been said to be as many as 158753, a ot the most surprising calls on 'record at eolo-whist was made in a game between five gentlemen af Twickenham, where each man stood out in turn. On the cards being shuf- fled, cut, -and dealt, with hearts as trumps, the caller went "Solo." The second player then called '"Misere." The third man was this time standing out, and so the next, amazement, said he was going "Abun- | dance on diamonds." "Well, you'll have to go, I sup- pose," exclaimed the other, "but | you've done me out of a fine solo!' "I'm going 'abundance declare" the fourth man chipped in sweetly, punting his cards down on the table: for, of course, he had first lead, and made his own trumps with suth' a call And he put down the nine clubs, including the wp seven, and also the ace, king, queen, and jack of spade«' Of course, he won his abundance A writer to ome of the morning papers last year mentioned two not able experiences withun. his own knowledge at local whist-drives at Busbridge, Godalming. In one cave, # player sat at the sume table for tif. teen hands out of twenty-four games, wd another was one of the losing partners fer seventeen hands out of the twenty-four games At Wakefield, in 1892, four friends two gentlemen and their Wives net } for a game at ordinary whist. © On the | cards being dealt, after several hands { had been played, one of the men | found he had no trumps. At the end | of the game this was laughingly just | mentioned. But he stared when, in | the next hand, with different trumps, he again had uone! And the com. fans was more surprised at this owever, when, a third time in suc- cession, the same man found he { badn't a single trump, he began to | wonder what was the matter. Some suburbanites, a few years ago, were playing nap. Owing to the + "kitty" being doubled when a caller of "Nap!" lost, it had got to £2 10s., at midnight. The Amount, then, to be doubled, frightened the three players, and it was certain that no one would again call until he had got an absolute "'cert." So, for two hours, was culled. Then, at five minutes to two o'clock, the players agreed to | divide Abe "kitty" between them if | the next deal yielded nothing in that not one "Nap!" wav, The cards were dealt as usual culler 'looked at his five hearts king, queen, jack, and eight--and, course, he promptly called "Nap!"

The tribe of Mac is greater even than the Smiths, the Joneses or the Cohens, them for anything else. You might accidentally address man whose real name was Smith as Cohen, but you would do it to a Mae and vou would net commit the blunder of thinking a man whose name is Mae Somethingorother was named Jones The Macs have the advantage of be ing able to come from everywhere, and most of them do. Furthermore, most of them go everywhere. They may be descended from the pioneers who settled in America, or from the persons who were forcibly settled at Botany Bay. or from Kings or chief. tains, or almost anything It is the easiest part of a name there is, and it i= an open question as to whether the collective Macs do | not exceed the sons. sohns, sens and vitchs of the rest 'of the world. "One thing is certain. the Macs have such a flying start that they never can be overtaken. Even now the directories and other. lists have to divide them " not into sections under Mae, or Me, or M'. but they are all Maes. If vou walk along the stréets of most Nova Scotian cities and yell | "Hey. Mae!" two-thirds of tha people will turn areund to look, because you have pronounced at least a part of their name In St. Jolin perhans half have been interested, and in the streets of every other city and town of Canada there will be some. Jus! pow it is a safe bet that there are Macs in the Mexican rebel and other Macs in the regular army are chasing them around or being chased about. But while it is a satisfying thing to belong to such a multitudinous and ubiquitous family, it has its disad- vantages. A person who does not have the name finds it easy to walk up to one who has the name and say: "Mac old man, let me have $10 until to-morrow, will # Now you your couldn't act in the same familiar, easy, confident way with a man whose name wa: M.. Whiddicomb, or Jameson, or Petersen. or Berko- witz, or Bimkovitch, or Mandelsohg. Auy name that inspires you to put Mr. before it robs you of confidence, anh very few persons with a Mac to their name ever hear the whole of it pronounced, and the Mr. is prefixed still less often. They go through the world as Mac from boyhood till they forget what their name 'really ie. Another disadvantage the wide fam- ily of Mae have is that it is easy for a tempter to say: "€ome on, Mac; let's go out and get something." It is also easy for one who has but slight acquaintance with the person to say, "Got a smoke about you, Mac?" Mabee Carried It. There is a good story told of Chair- man Mabee of the Railway Commis- sion. It has to do with a certain bylaw whieh was to be submitted in Stratford. the purport of which is a matter of no moment. Mr. Idington was city solicitor. He was violently opposed to the proposition. He was to address a public meeting, and the friends of the bylaw were almost papic-¢tricken. for they had no ma- terial heavy enough to eppose him. At this critical moment, however, a member of the Board of Trade had an inspiration. He imparted his idea to a few oft his colleagues, and they at ounce sought out Mr. Mabee. He took little Interest in civic affairs, had no knowledge of the question at issue, but he loved a "scrap," and he quickly fell in with the plan. The meeting was held, and after Mr. Mi. Mabee appeared on the platform. To all but those concerned in the plot, his arrival was a surprise. Then, for the space of an hour or so, to the infinite delight of his hearers, he proceeded to twist Mr. Idingtou in- side out. It cannet be said that he had his "case" well prepared. He did not know the intricacies of the situation, but he did know how to make fun of Hiz opponent. After that night there was Rothing to it but the bylaw. "Ge It, Dad." - Rev.

Sudcenly there wos g lull, and quitk ds a flash the boy leaned over, poked his sire inthe #ibs, and in a stage whi spet thal could be heard all over that side of the room, said: "Go it,"dad!
