The farmérs may object to day- Mght saving, but it is a safe bet that the hired man won't. "The Unionist party would be sure death to the Conservative party," de- clares the Toronto Telegram Well, doesn't that fact alone justify its ex- istence? "Buy your winter coal now," is the parting advice of the ex-fuel con- troller. The forehanded man will go ahead with his programme of fill- ing the coal cellar at once. Canadian railways will adopt day- light saving time in order to conform with the system in vogue on 'Ameri- can roads . If the rest of Canada adheres to the old time, there will be a pretty mix-up. ; Senate reform is again agitating the politicians at Ottawa. Various schemes have been advanced for the reformation of the second chamber. Wir not abolish it altogether? Itis a useless legislative encumbrance, Indications point to an unusually lively season among the Thousand Islands this year. The thousands of visitors will pass through Kingston, but will not stop here because of lack of hotel accommodation. What a pity. The provincial government pro- poses to vote $100,000 for grants to consolidated schools. Part' of the money will be used to pay for con- veyances and part to pay for agricul- ture teachers. It is a move in the Hight direction. The town of Gananoque lost worthy citizen by the death gf ely | tor Jubior He was foremost in avery Vie enterprise, and did much for the advancement of his mative town. His passing will leave a void that will be difficult to fill. SE Lorna Moon's daily "Talks" on the worian's page of the Whig are being yery favorably commented upon. "The Whig's, special fedtures are all admirable, and 1 must congratulate you upon your enterprise," declares { & reader. . Kingston's fuel cohtrbller--than whom no abler man could have been selected--has resigned, there being no work for him to do. The Whig called attention early last falf to the Witter needlessness of a fuel gontrol- ler for this city. The facts prove that the Whig was Fight. Welcome, home, boys of the 45th -Baitery!

Now and again one is faced by facts more strange and incomprehen- | FACTS J| sible than the fancies the most dar-! » ing writers of fiction ever dared to portray Here is one of them, as revealed in the news of the day. tentiary clanged behind Florence | Duke, of Philadelphia, how many | times did it make that women had gone the limit in an attempt to re-! form the men they loved? Charged with participation in motor car thefts for which her husband had pre-' viously been sentenced, she made no defence, but courted imprisonment. ' In her simple speech she said $e, wanted to be within the same walls as he, so that he could feel her pres- | ence, although he would never see her, and be impelled thereby to "go straight" on his release. .. Great hearts dare greafly, and this. repetition of one of human nature's finest phenomena proves again that great hearts can be and are bogne by | common clay . That this is so, the recent war also proved world with- out end. For in its battles and fits 'nerve-shattering cannonades the humblest climbed to Calvary But for stimwius to those incred- ible deeds of valor men had in most instances the courage éngendered by acting in the mass and the reaction bred of great events. But where does an otherwise ordinary woman draw the courage to face twelve years in prison in the nebulpus hope of reforming her man? Where, ex- cept from within? For her there is no thunderous difapason of battle, no feeling of partmership with millions, to hearten the blood. * She is alone. There is something mysterious about all this which men may guess at but never hope to understand. A BIG HOTEL FOR . KINGSTON. No. 4. In the previous three articles wz have proved conclusively that Kingston needs and wants a real up-to-date hotel. The question which has always been the sfumb- ling block in the past is one of fin- ances, Organizations have been formed 'and have tried to raise a sufficient amount eof money to put through the scheme, but they 'have always failed, and nothing has been done. Here, then; we have the key to the whole proposition. Soma means must be devised whereby an amount of capkal sufficient for the purpose can be raised, and raised localiy. Kingston's hotel should be bullt by Kingston capital, and this can be done if the proper means are adopted.

As transient guests we tread our path and every sign of spite and wrath we ought te check and muzzle; but I'd be glad if I might slay along the scheme in every way poss- ible. That is the scheme put for- ward by one of Kingston's real live men, and it is a scheme well worth considering. There are now la Kingston many young, progressive citizens who would willingly "work on the committee, and the project needs only ta be started in order to be brought to a successful econclu- sion. Nurses Graduating. Forty-eight nurses graduated at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Mont- real, on Thursday, and among the number were Miss Grace Martin, Kingston; Miss Ethel Fleming, Chaf- fey's T.ocks; Miss Janet Hyndman, Smith's Falls, and Miss Kathleen Mil- ler, Gananoque. This sort of fellow has his gall; I hate his fancy, swirl* ing scrawl, I simply can't abide it; I wonder why a hus man gink will fill his fouptain pen with ink, and then get up and ride it? Oh, does he think he'll make a hit by throwing chirographic fit with asinine' endeavour? A_4 And does he think that folks will say, "Beshrew us, s gymnastic. jay must be absurdly clever?"
