Honorable the Colonelâ€"or is it 001- onel the Honorable?â€"Sam Hughes made his last speech as resident of the D.R.A. this week. The D. R. A.â€"English, the Dominâ€" ion Rifle Associationâ€"is an annual convention of colonels, and to be ‘boss colonel of the greatest living aggrega- tion of Canadian Colonels unfler one roof is honor indeed. Only the Minis- ter of Militia is higher, and Colonel Sam being now that is the god of all colonels. The Colonels meet eVery year for three days in the Railway Committee room of the House 0! Commons. They use the Railway Committee room be- cause the colonels will commndeer two railways when wér breaks out, OTTAWA THE CENTRE OF THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF COLONELS ON EARTH and they want to get the local color; also because there are two battle pic- tures on the wall to keep Unm- in com: tenance, and thirdly, because it is a big room. and they are nearly all long PAGE 12 Moxnmn, 22nd February, 1909.

Three of the industries desirous of locating in Lindsay require 2,000 horse power. One of them will use 1000 h. p. and the other two 500 h. p. each. In two or three weeks' time the citizens will be made acquainted with the nature of these firms as well as the conces- sions they ask. range colonels. They smell the fight, afar 03, so to speak. Once in a while a captain or a major slips in among the colonels, but he is not regarded as captain or major, but as the glorious beginning of a colonel, a rich, red blood )of promise. Similarly generals and- field marshalls may get in, and then they are treated as col- onels who have flowered. it being ob- viously impossible to become either without having been a colonel first. In the army everything works up or down from the colonel. This truth is recognized by Parliament, which from time to time makes honorary colonels in order to keep up the supply. Freo quently regiments are divided, so as to make. two colonels grow where only one grew before. Often and- often the colonel is made first .and the battalion comes afterwards, a practise foolishly attacked rby Lord Dundonald, who did not realize what an inducement it was to seventy-fiveâ€"centsâ€"a-day privates to have a ten-dollar-a-day, gold-braided colonel to cluster around. If they fail to cluster. it is their own fault. The colonel is there, a nucleus and an orna- ment, and it is Canada’s shame if she gives him nothing harder than pink oronto Star.) teas to conquer. Canada can do wit-11‘ out powder. can do without shot, can do without soldiers if the Hague Trib- unal has its wayâ€"but she can never .do‘vVi'thom colonels. Colonels are even greater in peace than they are in war. WATER 'AND THE ARMY. The Railway Committee room al- ways has a big jug of water On a. table in a conspicuous position when-1 ever the calonels are in camp. Thel water is not placed there as a bever-4| ageâ€"a Canadian colonel likes it no‘ better than a Kentucky one~but :35 al reminder of dangers by flood and field which the good soldier must ov- ercome. Water has to be bridged or] iorded or pontooned or dammed. It is always troublesome. It balls up wholel armies with enteric fever. Horses may drink it and live but it is never offerâ€" ed to c-olonels except to Wash their feet. The water ju-g at the D.R.A. is1 an object lesson. The colonels‘ never: touch it. Drawn up in serried ranks 1 at their dinners, or in bottle array at} their banquets with dead soldiers all {moan-Hi colonels otherwise brave. 'shun water save that in the finger bowls. Artillery colonels will tell you that water rusts any mechanism except the water jacket of 8. Maxim. DIV’IDING THE COLONELS. The Colonels divide themselves L-roadly into artillery colonels, and cavalry colonels. To the casual eye ithey are all colonels. and do their iground and lofty coloneling in: the ‘saue way. But the trained obserVer can distinguish diflerences. Some of them go into action more briskly than others. As a general rule it takes longer to get an artillery colo- lnel loaded. The bigger gun can always :accommodate the bigger charge with- . out back-firing. Come into the Railway Committee room and look the bunch of colonels over. How would you fancy an army composed entirely of colonels, such as George Ham once suggested? No ? Some people say colonels are getting scarcer. This doesn't look like it, does it ? Enough colonels hare to go round eh ? No colonels in heaven ? Well, that‘s a question. What do youmake of Onward Christian soldiers ? How could they get onward without colo- nels ? Don’t believe in colonels ? Nonsenseâ€"WK'Eouldn't' do without 'cnc! Safety of the nation, sir, in their hands! Don't take it from meâ€" ask them. Disappointed ? Look very ordinary ? Ah, but you should seethem in uni- form, heading the church parade! Mars in mutti may be adul-l, beefy person, but Mars in his war paint, with hie waist pulled in and his eyes bulging out, is another matter. A little paunchy, yes-«but not too much so, considering weight for age. And say, did you ever see a full dress colo- nel at a full dress ball? With all his medals displayed like a pawnbroker’s window? The medal he got because he was a United Empire Loyalist. the one be got :at thé Licensed Victuallera Picnic, the one they voted him at the Daughters of Empire bazar, the one _ . THE TALK OF THE.

There are several colonels in _’ the room that Colonel Sam despises, some of them British but Colonel Sam ‘ ‘doesn’t show it. He is Minister of Militia, and he has his Maxim silenc- er en. Colonel Sam’s sack coat fits like a tunic, as the coat of a gentleâ€" man, who is also a soldier should. Colonel 'Sam looks more the soldier c,olonel the real first-class fighting mam/than any other colonel in the flock. He probably is. Colonel Sam is parting from his presidency of the D.
