The training of the Duke of Devon- shire for his career was not limited §ito. the ordinary public school and University education. When he had obtained his degree he was placed in the office of a firm of city account- fnts to get an insight into finance. He was also entered at one of the Inns of Court and qualified as a bar- rister. Afterwards he came to the House of Commons. His uncle and 'he were on excellent terms; they un- derstood each other perfectly, and there are many stories to show that they did not waste words in idle chat- ter. There was an occasion in the days of his youth when the heir was lf ithought by the Duke to have done something foolishly, something that required an apology from the youth to his uncle. Accordingly the former Was summoned into the presence of the senior. Then there was silence. After a considerable interval the Duke, addressing his nephew, tersely said: "You are a silly ass." The dutiful nephew responded quietly, "Yes, uncle." Then there was an- other pause; it was so long that the | Duke felt bound to break the silence, {and once again he said briefly, "You {are a silly ass.". The only difference in the observation this time was that extra emphasis was put upon the word "are," The dutiful nephew again replied respectfully, 'Yes, uncle." That was all that happened, nothing more could be expected; no one could say that the lad was fail- ing in deference to his uncle. But for all that be was not prepared to make mournful expiation, and pro bably his uncle appreciated the fam- ily quality. 'There is another story which might create a false impression if I aid not qualify it. The late Duke was the subject of many anecdotes concern- ing his reputed apparent drowsiness. His intimate friends knew that this was rather a feint than reality; it was a way he had of resting himself | and protecting himself against bores. {The present Duke, I should say at | once, bas not followed the ancestral | trait.

Clarence Rogers, son of Mr. Elias Rogers of Toronto, who is now believed to be a prisoner in Germany. In a letter replete with interesting experiences and anecdotes, Capt. Dr. M.S" M. Crawford, formerly Associate Coroner in ~ ironto and member of the surgical :'aff of St. Michael's Hospital, and now serving with the Canadian forc.s at Orpington, writes to his father, Mr. Alex. H. Crawford. The letter reached Toronto recently. In it Captain Crawford writes: "Immelmaun, the great German aviator, was brought down a few weeks ago. People have been giving credit to various ones for doing the trick? but the general opinion of the aviators is that Clarence Rogers, son of Mr. Elias Rogers, is the real hero, Immelmaun was killed, but Clarence was taken prisoner, I do mot think there is any doubt about this beitg absolutely correct. Our fliers have been doing wonderfully good work: the Germans seldom come over the British lines now, and our own Cana- dian boys are certainly doing their share." i ------------ Knows Two Laws, The ready retort of a license in- specter in Renfrew to a lawyer who tried to show his superiority in the law afforded further proof that an Irishman can give 3 Roland for aw Oliver.
