A cartoonist pictures him as being carried, very much against his wish, by the republican party (in the form of a woman), and towards the no mination in 1912. Mr. Roosevelt is not the force he was in the public life of the United States, since the state election two years ago. Then he ap- peared as a party boss and received a stern rebuke. He is the ideal leader, however, in the opinign of many men, and he may be founda candidate for the presidency again, though he has passed his "word that he is through with it forever. In anticipation of a probability-- that he may be soliciting the people's favour, willingly or unwillingly--there has been revived the correspondence, which he had with the late Mr. Harri- man. It was _ with regard to the election of 1004. Mr. Roosevelt was very anxious to see Mr. Harriman, be cause he was a financier who could,' if he liked--and there was a great need for it--raise a large sum quickly fo political purposes.

Mr. Roosevelt has put in print the declaration that he did not ask Mr. Harriman to contribute $1 towards his election; But after a visit to the White House in 1904, and a talk with the president, Mr. Harriman did raise $200,000 and paid it over to the treasurer of the national republican party. The question is whether the money was used for state or national purposes, and as all the parties to the transaction except Mr. Roosevelt are dead his version of it stands. The record shows that the money provid ed by Mr. Harriman "enabled the New York state. committee to continue its work, with the result that at least 50,000 votes were tured in the city of New York alone, making difference of 100,000 votes in general election." A reptile fond was in existence, fargely at the instance of Mr. Roose- velt, and it will bother him some to get rid of the idea that he did not know of the purpose for which it was used; and Mr. such a purist. a the Roosevelt poses as The board of trade, composed of the husiness men of the city, is interested in three of the by-laws which will be voted the board's representatives will be at the polls and see that the fullest possible vote is recorded. : First in importance is the by-law by which it is proposed to give the Canadian Locomntive company exemp tion from taxation for a period ten years, on all its plant and im- provements gbove $100,000, On this sum there will be a general tax, and on the entire property to the extent of the school rate. The concession is asked in view of the large additional outlay which the company contemplates. It will be, in 1912, at least $300,000, and the eguip- ment afforded will permit of the em- ployment of a larger number of men and a larger output of the finished article, the best locomotive. that is made in Canada.

They are going to put considerable capital in- to it. They have the experience - that means: success. They will employ a good many hands, and they ask only for exemption from taxation for a limited period: They will surely get what they want, but they will deserve all the support and encouragement which the pedPle can accord them.

And W. Morgan Shuster is the cause of all the bloodshed. How? He in- tervened in the affairs eof Persia, its prime minister, and became some- 'what dictatorial and offensive, . con- as | sidering that Persia was not at liber. tv to do as it pleased.

Richard Kearton Took Picture Re- cords--He Tells of Some Close Calls He Had. London, Dec. 26.--~Richard Kear- ton, who has made a, world-wide re- putation photographing birds and beasts in their native haunts, has just returned afer a trip to India, where he bas been engaged in taking cine matographs in the jungle of the wild animals, upon which King George is now testing his prowess as a © "Many of my photographs were taken from the back of an elephant, thus presenting views of the jungle exactly as the king will see it," Mr. "It took me twenty days to find a tiger, though tiger spoor were plentiful. The tiger I got had seized a bullock hy the nose and had dragged him on all fours into a dense jungle, forming a tunnel by doing so. "lI went on my hands and knees along part of this tunnel, and found that one of the legs of the bullock had been newly eaten, so I returned and arran a drive. With four hun- dred men, I cleared a space in the jungle fifteen yard# wide, where the tiger was to be driven,' put up a thin leaf screen to hide me from the beast, and waited on the ground, not up a tree, for him. "I had no firearms but I had three spearmen lying on the ground beside me. Photographs taken from a treo would not give the. true result. 1 waited there half an hour. 1 knew the tiger was approaching by the beaters, some of whom were up trees, tapping like woodpeckers; others were on the ground, making hideous sounds with every nolisy thing they possessed --just as the beaters will do for the king. The tiger came down the tunnel and out into the open, and I photo- graphed him directly he got half way across. He gave vest to a number of most terrific coughs. ' "The natives wanted to kill the ti- ger, since it was a maneater. They could not understand why I only wanted to turn a handle at the ani- mal. Fifteen, saying they would be his next victims, got behind the bush with spears, and when the tiger was driven up to them, three of the men rushed out with their weapons. "The tiger leaped from the dense jungle. The man on the right and the man on the left bolted. The man in the middle tusned round to emulate them, but fell upon his face. Upon that the tiger threw bhimsell upon him, with hi; claws in his shoulder, like a flash of lightning, and put his head down to the back of the man's neck. "I shouted, thinking le was going to bite through the man's spinal column. The beast looked up at me, gave another great cough, growled savagely at me; and then jumped sideways and disappeared." - MERCHANTS' BANK. Net Profits for the Year Were $1.- 179,000. A particularly satisfactory report was submitted atthe 45th annual meeting of the Merchants' Bank, held in Montreal last week. The net pro- fits for the year were the largest on record, amounting to $1,179,000, or at the rate of 19 2-3 per cent. on the paid-up capital, During the year the bank increaged its dividend from nine to ven per cent., this being the second increase in the past two years. Despite the larger sum apportioned for dividends the bank was able to transfer $500,000 to the reserve fund, which now stands at $5,400, 000, or minety per cent. of the paid up capital. { durther examination of the - ve port™ shows that the bank js particu- larly "strong in bullion and domin- ion notes and dther quickly available assets, these representing over forty- five per cent. of the bank's total lia- bilities. During the year the bank lost two of ita directors, namely H. Allan, who resigned by reason of his now residing in . Great Britaip, and Charles Smith. The two vacancies on the board were filled by the appointment of Andrew A. Allan and C. C. Ballan- tyne. Biiy wallpaper now. Weese.
