"Madame Sans | Gene" (Madam Devil May Care), they call her because of the free and easy manner in which she treats her customers, rich and poor alike, -- one of the latter being Napoleon, when the Little Corporal was just-- a little corporal. : : The French Revolution brings about a change in fortunes. Napoleon has placed himself on the throne of France, and Catherine Hubscher (Miss Swanson), now married to Le febvre, one of Napoleon's sérgeants, finds herself a Duchess with a right- ful place in the Court of Frdnce, when the Emperor = promotes her husband to the rank of Marshal of France and bestows upon him the title of Duke of Danzig. But the Duchess is still The same gpit-fire Sans Gene and is looked down upon by the snobbish ladies of the court, but she is more than a match for them all--imitating their stiff bows and géitures to the amuse- ment of the great Napoleon himself. The remainder of the ' picture is taken up with the amusing manner in which Sans Gene through her wit and the aid of several unpaid laun- dry bills straightens out a marital riff between Napoleon and the Em- press and so establishes herself more firmly than evér in the Emperor's good graces.

Six Fox and his Ser- enaders were in the pit and through- out the early part of the programme rendered live popular music, much to the delight of the audience which showed its appreciation by the ap- plause given. In' addition to the feature by the orchestra, there wers banjo numbers by "Cap" Way of the orchestra and Jack Hayes greatly pleased the audience with a solo.

LIMESTONE TRAIL RANGERS Are Home From a Most Successful Camp at Rock Point, The Limestone Trail Rangers re- turned from their camp at Rock Point, Kingston Mills, on Saturday morning, July 25th. In spite of the heavy storms, the week was a very successful one. The advance party, numbering seven, left Kingston at 7.30 p.m. Saturday, July 18th. They had the tents pitched and everything ready by dark, and went to bed, One notable incident occurred on Friday evening, when the Tratl Rangers came up through the locks on the "Dardanella."" The boys did not realize it at the time, but it was the one hundredth anniversary of the Rideau Canal. William Norman, the mentor of the Limestone Trail Rangers, was in charge of the camp, and handled it very successfully. Cows Sent From Campbeliford. Peterboro, July 38. Sixteen head of choice Ayrshire tows, all milking, were shipped from Campbelitord consigned to Hearst, Ont, where they will be sold to the settlers at cost by the Ontario government. Ayshires were selected becatisé this pears in the C.P.R. garden. The {cure for the rust was given in the | Whig some time ago, but of course {it 18 a rather tedious process to employ. The old telegraph pole at the cor- ner of Brock and Bagot streets has long been an eyesore and it is to be hoped that the public library board will force its removal as it spoils the appearance of the new library building. Perhaps many of the old boys will recall the pole when they are here for Old Home Week. For goodness sake let the Board of Works arrange with the telegraph company for its removal from the conspicuous place it occupies. A few days ago a baby boy of probably one year was placed in a barber's chair to have his hair cut. A rattle with which he had been greatly taken failed to occupy his at- tention. He yelled 'to beat the band" and used both little hands to i shove the cutter off his head. Mother |and barber declared =~ him cranky, but were wrong. The little tot was simply asserting his independence. He objected to having a hair mower run over his head, and simply would not sit quietly in a chair and have people "put something over him." A great future is in store for this kid. Toronto is a big city and greatly in love with itself. But it shows too much egoism when it supposes that every distinguished visitor to Canada is just longing to spend most of his time within its limits. Toronto has been uttering a mourn- ful howl because the visit of-ield Marshal Haig was curtailed. It should try and display less egoism. There is no doubt that the famous British general was just as pleased over his visit to Western Canadian cities as he was to Ontario's capital. Visitors to Montreal and Quebec were surprised to pay only five cents a glass for 8 percent. beer wher they had paid ten cents a glass for Ontario's 4.4 drink. If the latter is the Ontario Government will have to remove some of the restrictions and levies. Ten cents a glass is too much to' pay for a light, non-intoxicating bever- age. Even the brewers admit this. Montreal's police department re- cently received a thorough over- hauling. Now its punk mail deliv- ery system should receive attention. Montreal may brag about its liquor stores, but it can never boast of its mail delivery, which is slow an uncertain. Several years ago, the late Annes- ley Burrowes, a native of Kingston, and for years a distinguished De- troit journalist, wrote a dissertation on "Trousers and Pants," claiming that trousers were worn by men and pants by women. Judging by what we see on the streets today, this view would hardly be accepted. It would be termed old-fashioned and on a par with that of the anti-evolu- tionists. It is not up-to-date, and had Mr. Burrowes lived to wield his pen today, he would no doubt have acknowledged that times have changed and that men and women both wear pants and trousers. -------- An eastern lawyer disagrees over the verdict of a Cornwall coroner's jury that the death of a beer boot- legger, who was drowned in a tus- sle with a provincial detective, was just accidental. A very strong case could be made against the arm of the law, he claims. Perhaps further in- vestigation into the case would do no harm, Sambi, Probably not more than oné-quar- i ment to dispense with a great deal | of the formality and red tape atten- | dant on the ushering into this coun- | try of settlers from the British Isles | and the United 'States. Sir Henry be- lieved that the year to come would see a great acceleration of immi- gration as a result and that prosper- ity 'would be enhanced through greater development. In fact, he de- clared, development was the only road to national prosperity. In medieval times, when men spent a deal of time and momey in the construction of machines where- with to torture less fortunate fel- low beings, there was devised an in- strument known as the Iron Maiden. Built of iron and shaped to hold the human form, it was plentifully sup- plied with spikes pointing inwards, and being in two parts, pressure could be applied by turning certain screws. As an instrument of tor- ture and for bringing about the ulti- mate demise of the victim it was an admirable creation. To-day there is an Iron Maiden crushing the life out of business and strangling industry just as--syrely as the instrument of an earlier day mangled its victim. The Iron Maiden of to-day is debt. Whether it be a nation or a na- tion's least subject, they are building an engine for their own de- struction when they accumulate lia- bilities beyond their earning power. It has been said "Happy is the family who live on last year's income instead of next year's." In compari- son the proverbs of the Hast pale into significance in present day ap- plication. Every inducement is held out to the householder tp buy, re- gardless of his ability to pay. The instalment plan is a pitfall for the unwary. The credit system is a very costly one to both buyer and seller. How many people realize the cost of carrying te accounts of an average store? An idea may be gotten by taking the total of the accounts and com- puting the interest at three per cent. This is only a portion of the cost. There are the uncollectable debts, of which every merchant has a surfeit, to be taken care of. Again there are salaries of a clerical staff to look after these accounts. The consumer pays for it all in higher prices. For the merchant is a very necessary distributor and he must live. He has a capital, and in many cases all he is worth invested in the business and he must pro- tect his property and get his living. There are-two kinds of credit. On legitimate credit rests the whole fabric of business organiza- tion of the world. Money, in the form of gold and banknotes, is only a token of that credit. The ability to produce and the possession of goods is the real credit. The other credit is a gamble. The merchant or whoever he may be, is dealing in futures, just as much as a member of the stock exchange. He is gambling that hie debtors will, at some time in the future, be sufficient- ly solvent to take care of their in- debtedness. If they are in a posi- tion to pay he reaps the reward. If however a large number are insol- vent he goes into bankruptcy. The mail order houses are driving the country merchant out of busi- ness. Why? Because they do a cash business and are able for that reason to quote 'much lower prices; and the buyer will patronize the store where the dollar has the most purchasing power. Legislation to prohibit the credit business for at least three years would increase the buying power of the dollar by at least twenly per cent. The Iron Maiden $= ---SOMER LEIGHTON.
