A WIFE BY MAIL. '* The real merit or demerit of out- of-town buying is illustrated by Mr. Rpodes, our cartoonist, in this day's issue. He conceives of an amorous youth with a licorice tooth. court- ing one whose photograph captivated his attention. The "photo' has been sometimes referred to as a speaking likeness of an individual, This 'photo' may give the outlines of the fice or head, in adjusted pose, 'when the camera man made an exposure, so-called, but one which could not péssibly reveal anything of the true nature of character of the person, best job Goodness only knows "what the aforesaid amorous youth with a licorice tooth thought he 'was get- ting in the way of'a wife from "his study of her picture, But the artist gives some idea of the revolution, * shock, or surprise, which followed the meeting face to fa¢e of the court- . ing correspondents, The man who buys from an out-of- town store frequently has an experi- ence such as came to this young man. He had been deceived. There was no excuse for him. ' The article he can look at, or handle, or fondle, 1s sugely to be relied ugon more 'than the article hé judges by the picture. There is a great point in the cartoon. Study it well, friends, and get your wives and goods at home. + NOBLE EXAMPLE. 4 When the. Whig read 'that John Thompson, K.C., of Ottawa, the Gov- ernment's counsel in the' Sir Charles Davidson Commission, had not char- ged for his public service, it ques- tioned the accuracy of the report. Why should a man give all that in law means his living to the country without fee? Is anybody else doing it? What was the object in declin- ing the rewards of the Government? One may never know the real an- swer.. The man who does unlooked- for, and unusual things, at a time like thie, 'when the air is vitiated with the odors of many scandals, some -0f which he helped to probe, possesses i particil@r brand of char- acter. Capping' he climas, and marking him out as an even greater oddity, he now proposes to go 10 the front and serve the'country on the, battle line. In the -future men will. re- count, in the school. book : style of * other days, the teats of Canadians in this great war, when the names will he called of men who disgraced the country by their misuse of time and money, who © turséd the coun- try's. HOLrQWS to. comniercial ace count, Tt will be a gréat exhilara- tion to turn to some who were real patriots, whose names will never be forgotten. 1 . > Among these, "and high among them, will be that of John Thbmp- son, who first gave his service, freely, on the country's call, and theh gave himself in the highest and most ex- alted gense of the term. His exam- ple isi worthy of, the highest ddmira- tion. - ; So---- el MAY BE AN ELECTION.

Mr. Asquith's advice to men who dshenld. enlist and do not is to perform their duty, and it will not be neces- sary to enforce conscription.

It will painful hint to say later that-he came to "his own, in his old constituency, and his own received him not, Gen. Lessard's visit to the tren- ches is fpr a specific purpose.

Tlie people had, to, learn the needs of the hour and meet thém in a loyal and self-sacrificing spirit, He certain- ly left the impression that the loans the Government had to float would consume all the cash available, and that whatever of their surplusses the people withheld might be subject to the -Government's commands.

The judges will need to be skilled theology as well as law, The Minister of Militia evidently thinks with the Whig that sofme law, similar to Lord Derby's, will be necessary in Canada in order that the recruiting may be fascilitated. Let Sir Sam follow the idea up and the military movement in Canada will take on a more formidable ap- 'hearance.

Arthur Hawkes, the well-known writer, takes exception to the an- nouncement of Sir Robert Borden on New Year's Day, that the military contribution of Canada to the de- teuces of Empire will be an army of 500,000 men. It can hardly be said | that Sir Robert did this without dis- | cussing the matter with the members | of the Government. Even admitting tbat he took this course, Mr. Haw- kes says such a radical departure from parliamentary government, sug- gests a crisis which is not now de- sired, ir. Hawkes explains that in no country where there is any pretence at Parliamentary (Government would ! the. people be told that the Premier, j or the Premier and his Government, | had decided to raise an army of 500. | 000 men, and that this would cast { $500,000,000 per annum, to say io- | thing of the millions, thifty or more, | | to be contributed through the Patrio- [tic and other Funds. Twelve days THE HEN. The hen is a modest barn yard orna- nient whose mission in life is to lay eggs and get run over by red tour- ing cars. The high price of eggs now prevailing in this country is due to so many hens getting on the right of way and dying with a loud and mournful sqguawk. One can hardly take a drive upon any of our main "highways without flitting past the sil- ent forms of a dozen prostrate hens Which had been stepped on by a 34x4 tire and taken out of this world at the very height of their usefulness. * There are many different varieties of hens, but all. of them produce what is known as the cold storage egg. This egg is laid in latter part of Mareh and kept in the original pack- age until December Ist, when it is sold to.New York people who have never met any other kind. This Js mot the fault 4f the hen, however, which keeps 'on laying until run down by frenzied tourists who miis- take the Lincoln highway for th Elgin speedway, The hen is remarkable for man things. =~ When it comes to makin money, she crowds J.
