Everybody has a perfect right to go about his business without any questions being asked. If Kitchener had any reason for passing Canada by, that is his business. If he is displeased at any- thing Canada has done or hasn’t done, let him wait until he gets pleased again. Canada is just as big and just as important as he is. If he has actually and intentionally slighted her, which is extremely doubtful, he thereby loses a portion of whatever greatness he may possess, and any fuss on Canada’s part is made all the more ridiculous. . Seasonable Goods For g E Summer. Comet Passes Quietly. Well, the eighteenthâ€"and nine- teenthâ€"of May have come and gone, and no damage by the comet is, yet reported. Wednesday was the date fixed by the scientists for the earth to pass through the tail of the comet, and for anything remarkable or disas- trous to happen that might happen as d a consequence; but the day passed without anything more startling or unpleasant occurring than a. rain- storm, which, instead of being a calamity, was a blessing, totally un- disguised. It wasbeginning to be needed. Now that the comet has passed, heads of households who succeeded in having housecleaning postponed will have to submit to the inevitable. The comet will be visible for a few evenings in the western sky, after sun- down, and will gradually diminish in brilliancy as it continues on its pro- tracted journey. What comets are, why they are generally in such a hurry, and what purpose they serve, nobody appears to, know. Halley’s comet has passed the earth forty-eight times in history without creating any disturbance, but that it could travel, through space for that'leugth of time, at the tremendous speed it does, with- out hitting something, appears mirac- Dear Mrs. McGee: It is with deep regret that we the members of the Parish WOi-kers contemâ€" plate your approaching departure from our midst to the Northwest of Canada. From your long continued and faithful association with us in the work of St. James’ Church, Fenelon Falls, from your valued services as being for many years treasurer of the Parish Workers, and from your warm steadfast support, we cannot but feel that the church and its parochial organizations is suffering a loss we shall feel for some time to come. Always ready, always willing, ever looking on the best side, always refusing 'to be discouraged, your presence and co-operation has been both a help and an inspiration to us all. We ask you to accept our best wishes and earnest prayers for the prosperity and happiness of yourself, your husband and family in your new home, and pray the Head of the Church that He may be. with you all in your journeyings and in your sojournings through this earthly life, and we beg of you to accept this case of silver and toilet case as a slight token of affection and esteem from your associates in the Parish Workers.
