March 11.-- Summer resort proprietors along the Thousand islands see in the authorization of § per cent. beer in the province of Ontario the greatest boom to the St. Lawrence river re- sort taking pl sinee the coming of the automo! diverted tourfits to hasty trips through many regions in place of. the old time custom of set- tling down in one beauty spot. Preparations are being put under way to provide for greater rpshes of visitors than during recent years, despite fact that popularity of the region has been steadily increasing since the close of the. war. Villages along the river--Cape Vincent, Clay- thrive on the tourist trade, are jubi- lant over the action of the Canadian authorities, seeing in the restoration of beer of good voltage a stream of visitors, at least passing through. 'Line Near U.S. Shore. © The international boundary divid- ing the Thousand island between the two nations, diverts in a winding line between and among the maze of islands," at places approaching the American main shore and every- where within easy access by launch or even row boat, Opposite Cape Vincent a brief ferry over the main American "channel will' bring the thirsty to Kingston, Canadian terri. tory, where beer with a kick may be | had. Below Cape Vincent the line cuts over toward the Canadian main- land, but still within easy access from this side. Steamers plying the region make brief stops at Canadian ports and a stream of ferries operate from every railroad terminal. Canadians across the border are fully alive to the opportunity that is theirs. Already, according to re- ports, consideration 1s being given to establishment ' of refreshment stands along the shore of islands near the boundary line.

Greater Kick. Five per cent. beer, according to those who know real beer, possesses a greater kick than most of the beverages served across American bars when license was procurable. United States citizens used to thrive on the 3 per cent beer of the prov- ince so the additional per centage will afford even a stronger drink. Liquors will be procurable at Montreal, as during tne last years, but it is the belief of St. Lawrence river resort proprietors that a great many people prefer beer to whiskey and will be satisfied to stop within the local resorts and pay occasional visits to the Canadian beer dispen- saries. Toronto uake Stories. Toronto, March 11.--Earthquakes are such unheard of things in this vicinity that when one occurred the humorous side of reaction to it was very noticeable. There was the lady Doctor with a girl patient under treatment on a sofa who reproved her for kicking the lounge. *"'Look at your curtains and the electric light," the patient retorted, justly aggrieved. Two ladies were In a grocery store, epe carrying parcels \and the earthquake made them collide. Each was furiously demanding /of the other why she was so "clumsy." "You knocked my parcels right out of my hand." 'In the theatres the men who were "getting funny by shaking the seats" were glared at by wompn sitting near them. But no one was perhaps more dis- turbed than the young tady who hap- pened to be sitting Never having experienced an earth- quake and not having dreamed of = one, she found another explanation | for the commotion. '""There's'a man | in my trunk--a men in my trank." she screamed as she sprang to middle of the floor. +Bays Penalty Too Severe.
