CANADA’S CORONA HON SOLDIERS WERE WELL TREATED IN ENGLAND “I do not think this talk about changing the number of ,divfis on courts is being taken geriausly‘ by the people," said Mr. A. C. Grahem, of Victoria. Road the other day. "They have. no idea that the change will be made. I do not think it will myself. , It does not look reasonable to put two courts 8 miles apart at Oak- wood and Lindsay, and ask Wood- ville people to travel 15 miles and the northern people as far as 27 miles to Kirkfield with all the ex- tra mileage costs. The people of Emily will not care about coming to Lindsay, nor those of Verulam going to Feuelon Falls. Mr. Cunnings said to the Watch- nmnâ€"Warder that the change would make the ofl‘zces of clerk and' bailiff worthy of a capable man. I don’t think it would. Suppose the fees of the clerk now getting $100; were Sex-gt. Charlie Graham Talk: of His Trip as one of the toutingent. On Monday night Sergt. Charlie Graham, son of Mr. John D. Graham reached home after a month’s ab- s:nce as a member of the Coronation Contingent from Canada. Speaking of his trip Sérgt. Graham said : “We had a. good time; ‘fihe sights were wonderful, and the English 'peo- ple did all they could to make us feel at home. The theatres and pub- lic places of interest were throlm open to us. We met a good many fellows from the other colonies. whom we had known in South Africa. I don't think much of the way our own government used us. We were sent over steerag‘e and they brought us back the same. The other colonies paid their soldiers $1.20 a ‘day : we got only 50 cents, It Was not en- ough money to enable us to go arâ€" ound much. You could not go any- where hardly on the omnibus for leSs than 4 man: returnâ€"and we got half fareâ€"and by the time you bought supper perhaps down street. your day’s pay Was so near gone, that there was small chance of hav- ing much fun. , ROUGH ON OFFICERS.

Some people say there were only 15 Canadians in it. but the rest of the infantry were ”to have lined the route of the procession. That Was a position of honor and would have given] a fine chance to see the parade. OTHER COLONIALS The Australians are fine fellows. They gave us Canadians each a copy of an Australian patriotic song enâ€" titled “Sons of the Southern Sea" as a. memento. There “11% a great ”man“, nf trnoDs from all OVer the as a. memento. There was a great variety of troops from all OVer the world. The representatives of a tribe in Central Africa were great big blacks 64} feet tall. They gave an exhibition of their method 'of‘ moving cannon in their hilly coun- try. They took the gun to pieces Md carried these pieces on their heads. One of them would put a. gun wheel on his head and Walk away with no trouble. The barrel Was put on a sort of stretcher. which «ma mnnnfpd on the heads'of carriers We understand that passes on the omn‘buses were issued for us, and believe that the officers kept them from us. ‘ We were made tramp 8 or 9 miles every morning and werekired out by the afternoon when we Want- cd to go down into the city. On the way home on board ship we. were given two drills a. day. We were ordered up in line and left standing \Jl “\Avâ€" ‘- on deck {0131' while and then disâ€" banded again. A ' DISAfPOINTMENT It. was a. great. disappointment when the coronation could not mke place. but everybody made the best of it. The procession was to have been 13 miles long.

But the part most eagerly looked for was a. regiment of little boys of about ten years 0! age. who were. to join in at the end of the procession for the last'quarter of a mile of its march up the main street to the park. where was a large platform on which they were to drill for a few mlnuta. I had early secured a. place in front of the platform. and beside me stood ‘__v ‘V , two old Scotchmen who were nearly white with age. One was much talâ€" ler than the other. but with each there Was a certain erectness of form. an ease of carriage and an alertness of eye that seemed to proclaim them old soldiers. When a. good deal of the procession had passed the taller man. who had been watching aWay down the drive way. turned to the other and said : “They’re coming Duncan.” “Can ye see them Sandy?" "I can." said Sandy. and he peer- ed away over the crowd again while Duncan had to be content with watching Sandy’s face. Presently Sandy became more eag- er, and shading: his eyes with his hand he looked very earnestly for a few moments. Then he quickly tlirned to Duncan and looked full in his face, and though his canny Scotch nature forbade kin: to show excitement, yet there Was excitement and delight beaming in his eyes an he said . “Duncan. they're in kelts." And he Watched the magic died of his words. ... “Whist. whist Duncan! De ye hear that ? " Both listened and soon caught the gentle distant strains of the bagpip- es. Then they forgot tl‘musn-lves, they showed real excitement. Sandy raised on his toes’eagerly trying to get a better View. while Duncan caught Sandy's sleeve and vainly tried to raise himself high enough to see. But when they came in front Where both could get a. good View -â€"then their eyes seemed to light up with the old fire of youth and their whole appearance and movements be- trayed the keenest interest. Marching ahead were four boys.the two outer ones playing small bag- pipes and the inner ones beating drums. The regiment followed in iours. All were in'kilts. with form very erect, and eyes straight to. the front ; and keeping step to the mu- sic with a regularity that could not have been excelled by well-trained regulars.

Sandy and Duncan made scarcely any remarks as. they watched the mm on the platform but now and again they exchanged glances accom- panied by a smile or a, shake of the head. as the boys with veteran pre- cision, executed every command. They seemed especially pleasal with the little officer. who conducted Himself with such cooinehs as to never get his men excited. and yet stepped around so smertly and gave his commands with such a ring of authority that the bays seemed to spring to their accomplishment. But yet there was no remark from the olh men, the head-shaking and wink- iug only became mor‘3 frequent. And yet the thundering applause of the multitude that greeted the execution of the more ditlicult movements in marching or rifle drizl was to me as nothing compared with the silent applause in the “knowing looks" on those two old laces; (or they seemed to know so perfectly just where the difficult movements were. But when. as a climax to their drill. the boys,â€"-with their my guns loaded with little percussion caps, dropped on one knee and fired 1: Vol- ley, so perfectly in unision that it. was distinct as a single report and then sprang quickly to attention again. the old men forgot. their age and their Wanted composure. Sandy held up‘his heavy walking-stick and shook it gaily. half laughing and half cheering. while Duncan wildly waved his hat and shouted his ap- plause. A . ‘AJ ,..:-AI- "X‘Evpow the boys dropped quietly into posi‘ion of “Stand at Ease" while the crowd continued cheering and applauding for some time. Sandy and Duncan still? kept Witching the boys as they remained in the positr- ion of case. and prospnply a sober. thoughtful look state. over Sandy's face and half turning to Duncan he said : "That's our position now Duncan. we have got, our 'Sundjt tum in old Scam ?
