In reply to an eminent Liberal Minister who had declined to 'pro tect" Lord Milner, he asked: "Does the House recollect La Fontaine's in- sect which expired under the impres- sion that it had afforded life-long protection to the lion in whose car- cass its life had been spent?" Respecting Old Age Pensions he got off the following: "The pious Liberals!

He was a handsome boy, cheery, affable, ever ready to meet his entertainers half way, and, while disposed to be democratic in his contmet with the populace, was always mindful of his station, capable of maintaining the aignity of his position, and of rising to it intellectually, in the presence of the many official bodies and delega- tions from which it became necessary for him to receive addresses. In functions such as that of laying the corner-stone of the Canadian Parlia- ment building (the founding of the Dominion was still seven years away), he performed his part with that grace which characterized all of his public activities in later years and made him the most sought after and the busiest figure in the social life of the British Empire. He crossed the boundary line, not as the Prince of Wales, but as Baron Renfrew, Before leaving British ter- ritory he made this neat little speech: 'My duties as répresenta- tive of the Queen cease this day, but in a private capacity I am about to visit, before I return home, that ve- markable land which claims with us common ancestry ahd in whose extra- ordinary progress every Englishman feels a common interest." The Unit- ed States, figuratively, and almost literally, took him immediately in its arms. From the moment he touched the 80il of that republic until he took his departure, to use an Anglo- Americanism, 'there was nothing too good for him." It was not simply deference to his rank or inheritance, or a mere manifestation of conven- tional courtesy, or an ordinary ex- pression of national hospitality, but a genuine American "liking for the young fellow" that at once aroused the enthusiasm of the country and maintained it at a high level to the end of hiS visit.

John A: Cooper Has Ever Been in Thick of Trouble. If you find a man wha loves a-con- troversy, and who will soe it through to the end, then you have discovered a soldier. Doubtless that is the qis'- ification of which Sir Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, was thinking 'when he chose Lieut.-Colonel John A, Cooper to head the 198th Batialion, whose organization is alread$' undef full swing at fn he Raters on enlisted. workers, men who mu p to the I ; and when they do také the final plunge they want to be shown that the man who takes them into battle kfiows his business. ~Lieut.:Col, Cooper does. AS 4 matter of fact, he has made a study of soldiering for years. That is because he has always been known among his friends as a man with a number of hobbies. And the pet hobby of his hobbies was soldiering. While friends were golfing Colonel Cooper, then a captain, was soldier- ing, and though acquaintances laughed at him for his dabbling in the military, he kept it up. It is twent X years since he en- listed as a private in the Queen's Own Rifles. He was then a student at 'Varsity, and "K Co." was still a University company. He rose to be color-sergeant of his company, and in 1896 was given a commission of lietitenant. When he decided to re- tire to private life in 1911, he was transferred to the reserve of officers with the rank of captain. Then came the call " to arms. Captain Cooper's name remained on the list of reserve officers, and when Gen. Logie suggested that there was a vacancy for him, (Captain Cooper found a place for Dnself with the 114th Battalion of Haldimand Coun- ty. He had quite made up his mind to go to the front with the troops from Haldimand, and had settled down to an energetic recruiting cam- paign for Colonel Baxter when the War Lord started casting his eye about for the successful. More bat- talions were to be raised. Leaders were neded. That is why a telegram told Captain Cooper one morning, in laconic terms; that he was a lieuten- ant-colonel, just for the 'accepting. Now, if there is one thing which Col. Cooper cannot bg actused of--and it is lack of decision. He knew right away that he would a lieutenant- colonel, and that he 'cpuld raise a battalion. And that is his record as a soldier; without any family instinet/] to urge him on, unless you count his father-in-low, Col. James Massie, of the R.C.A., Kingston. SUCCEEDS LA PLANTE. Arthur Beauchesne, New Assistant Clerk of House of Commons. Arthur Beauchesne, B. A., K. O., the new assistant clerk of the House of Commons to succeed the late As- sistant Clerk Laplante who lost his life in the Parliament Buildings fire, was born at Carleton, Bonaventure County, P. Q., on June 15, 1876. He is the son of P. C, Beauchesne, not: ary, who represented that constitu- ency in the local Legislature from 1874 to 1876 and in the House of Commons from 1879 to 1882. He was educated at St. Joseph's College, in New Brunswick, where he grad- uated. with highest honors in classics in 1895. From 1896 to July, 1897, Be was private secretary to Hon. P. Gov. LeBlanc. In 1902 he was for a few months on the Montreal Star and La Presse, which, however, he left to go back to his old love, Le Jour- nal, of which he subsequently be- came the chief editor. He had no- torious controversies, the most re- markable having been against La Presse and lasting over one month's publication of daily articles from each side. He also had discussions on historigal subjects in the press with Dr, Benjamin Sulte and Senator Pascal Pot In 1503 he disagreed with the archbishop of Montreal and the direc- tors of Le Journal as to the support whieh. the Conservative party was to accept from the clergy in a eamh- paign aginst the Laurier '"Govern- ment on the Manitoba school gq on. He then resigned, left Journgl- - ism, read law, and was admitted to the 'bar of the Province of Quebec in January, 1904. In 1905 he founded L'Opinion, a Sunday newspaper which he publish- ed for twb years in the Conservative interest. Meanwhile - he practiced law, and in 1908 he stood as Conser- vative candidate in Bonaventure against Charles Muriel, but was de- feated. In 1812 he ran for the local house in the same county, but {a again defeated. In 1913 he was pointed legal officer in the depart- ment of justice. He was made a K.
