POLICEMEN Tales his father had told him it he ever got lost to find a policeman. Bobby walked up to the officer and, with his hat in his hand and in 'his most po- lite manner, said: "Will you please take me home? I guess * am lost." The policeman was very much sur prised, but sald: "Sure, I'll take you home, Where do you Hye?' "I don't know," said Bobby. ; ge The policeman asked all sorts of questions but poor Bobby couldn't help him a bit and so they started together to the police station to ask the chief what to do. Bobby was gi- ven a nice supper and then was al- lowed to talk with all the policemen, 'Who were very nice to him and let him try on their police helmets and swing their heavy sticks, but Bobby wanted his home and mother very nifuch. Just then the telephone bell rang and Bobby leaned close to the police man who took down the receiver to answer it. Bobby heard a voice that sounded like his father's, say: "Our little boy is lost. His name is Robert or Bobby, as we call him." Then Bb6bby called out: "Oh Father, 1 am here, It's me, see," and little Bobby was found. > Living" Menu | BREAKFAST.

ERHAPS no city in America; with the single exception of Quebec, offers greater oppor- tunities to the writer of romance than does Montreal, and yet few have been more neglect- ed. It has everything almost that the heart of the romanticist could de- pire. A picturesque and fascinating history of three centuries, partly under English and partly under French rule, presents possibilities of unusual interest. The founding of the ¢ity was the result of a mystical religious impulse, its first éstablisb- ments were a seminary, a nun"s hos- pital, and an Indian school, and to this day it remains ohe of the most pronounced strongholds of the Rom- an Church, Almost from the first, Montreal was the headquarters for the fur trade in New France, and its history is full of memories of great trading companies, of daring adventurers, of merchant princes, of missionaries, and of royal governors. In many re- spects there is still much to suggest a city of the old world, rather than of the new, in its early buildings, its narrow streets with their curious names, its historic landmarks, its quaint market places, and its inter- esting old churches. History takes on a new interest as one walks the streets of Montreal. Here were the homes of D'Iberville, who conquered Hudson's Bay for France; of La Salle, who discovered the great west and followed the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico; of Du Lhut, who explored the Upper Mississippi and after whom the city of Duluth was called; of Cadillac, the founder of Detroit; of La Verandrye, who discovered the Rocky Moun- tains. Here also lived 'Alexander Henry, the pioneer of the fur trade in the far west; Sir Alexander Mac- kenzie, the first European to cross the Rockies; Simon Fraser, who found the river bearing his name; and other of the great merchants, who formed 'the famous North-West Company, which a hundred years ago and more established the commercial {importance of Montreal. But if the romantiéists have over- lookéd Montreal, the poets have made up for their neglect. The city and its immediate neighborhood have furnished themes for many writers of poetry. W. D. Lighthall, who has been a diligent student of its history, has used it many-times. "The Battle of La Prairfe," is a ballad of the first eiicounter of the French and British in America, which took place in 1691, : Sailor Tad. The rollicking spirit of the Navy in the old days is reflected in the an- ' cient nautical epigrams and verses, a collection of which -is published in the 1,000th number of The Syren, and from which we have made the following extracts. A sailor who had the misfortune to be thrown upon the neck of his horse while riding one day provoked this tragi-comic verse: ° Spectator; cease your, cruel glee, From taunting jests refrain; Sure, 'tis no wondrous thing to see A sailor on the mane! " The following is equally entertain- ng: "A leak, a leak," the sallors cry, The vessel heaves and rolls, ' And ev'ry heart with dread beats _ high-- All seem despairing souls, Except one fellow, short and fat, A Welshman, I suppose, Who cried, "A leak! I'm glad of that, Ob, bring it to my nose. "No vegetables have we had For many a tedious week, Ob! look you now, her heart is glad; There's nothing like a leak!" The courageous spirit of the an- cient British mariner is demonstrated in this short and witty epigram en- titled, "A Carpenter Before a Sur- geon: A cannon ball, one fighting day (Sirs, doubt it not, I beg), Came in a merry captains' way And took away his leg. Cries one, "A surgeon bring with speed, The fracture let him view." "No," said our merry friend, "indeed, The carpenter will do." Spoofing an Editor. There are tricks in every trade, and a story told by Mr. Malcolm Stark, in "The Pulse of the World-- Fleet Street Memories" (Skeffington) illustrates the subterfuges which have been employed by journalists of Fleet Street. Such was the interest taken in the execution at Newgate of Wainwright, the murderer of Harriet Lane in Whitechapel in 1874, that a provin- cial newspaper determined to issue a special edition giving an account of the last scene--a remarkable piece of enterprise in those days. "The representative of this jour- nal," says Mr. Stark, "arrived in London on, the eve of the execution, but to his dismay found a ticket of admission to the prison had not been obtained, and it was too late to make an application to the Lord Mayor. An ingenious friend said he thought he could solve the difficulty "This friend forthwith proceeded 0 A haunt of the 'liners.'

Tom Moore's fam- ous "Canadian Boat Song," written a century 'ago, will always keep in memory the village of Ste. Anne, at the western end of Montreal Island. The late Dr. W. H., Drummond, Mr. Alan Sullivan, and Dr. John Reade, the distinguished journalist, among others, have recalled the heroic ex- ploit of Madeleine Vercheres, the young heroine of fourteen, who for an entire week, with the aid of three men and two little boys, withstood an Iroquois attack on the Vercheres seigneury, a few miles down the St. Lawrence near the Richelieu. It would scarcely be possible that the famous ice palaces and winter carni- vals which a generation ago were held in Montreal, which were re- sponsible in some measure for the reputation of ill.-omen attached to the climate of Canada, could escape the attention of writers dealing with Montreal subjects. John Reade in "The Winter Carnival," and Mrs. L. A. Lefevre in "The Spirit of the Car- nival," have handled it in verge and cleverly caught the spirit of the oc- caslon. The visit of Jacques Cartier to the Indian village of Hochelaga, which occupied the site of the city a hundred years before Montreal was founded, gives subject and title to a fine poem by T. D'Arcy McGee, and the refirement to St. Helen's Island of Marquis de Levis, commander of the last French army, where he burnt his flags in the presence of his army on the evening before surren- dering the colony to the English, is the basis of Frechette's poem, "All Lost but Honor." In prose Montreal's record has not been quite so ample. Many of the historic legends of the city and vi- tinity have been preserved in the "Jesuit Relations."
