Office - - - William St. LINDSAY, FRIDAY, DEC, 9,1910. u...’ RESULTS 0F CARELESSNESS The Canadian dead letter office last year handled 2,168,900 letters, of wnich. number 24,575 contained money or valuables. It is astonishing how many people are careless about their letters.,The carelessness does not attach to the ' matter of direction only; sometimes people will place several silver coins in a' letter, and then 'put a one or a two cent stamp and trust to tuck. Often people will fold a cheque or a bank bill into small dimensions and jam it down into the corner of the envelope, and then insert a letter filling the remainder of the space. Careless persons opening letters do not always see all the enclosures. The (lead letter office statistics show that thousands of the people who write do not give much attenâ€" tion to the work or use much comâ€" mon sense in connection with it even though loss and confusion are direct ly invited by their way of Things. doing THE LAND OF THE FREE "It is today safer to kill a man in the United. States than to kill a deer.” This statement is made by Mr. Andrew S. White, formerly pres ident of Cornell University, and af- terwards American ambassador at Berlin and St. Petersburg. His aston ishing assertion ~is fortified by statis tics calculated to stagger thought- ful American citizens. Twenty years ago, he says, there were about 1500 murders a year in the .United States; there are now 8.000 a year, an .increase of five ’hun . :m mos”; Post urcâ€" political Witness remarks:â€" l’l ALL um : During the past few, days despat- ches from across the sea give the in formation that there is talk of civil was in Ulster, (encouraged and nour ished by the Unionists) if Ireland is granted a measure of self govern- ment. 1‘ In referring to this phase of the situation, the Montreal “It seems that rebellion is all wrong when plotted and indulged in by Roman Catholics, but a high vir- tue should it take the form of resis- tance to laws made by a Catholic majority in one’s own country. So think, some people in- Ulster, we do not know how many, who are bindâ€" ing themselves by a solemn oath that they will never obey laws made at Dublin. They will die first. They seem to be true Irishmen, after all. Yet, to this position they have been incited by countless speeches from English Conservative platforms. It was Lord Randolph (Churchill who gave forth the slogan, ‘Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right.'â€" Uls- ter approved of government by the people so long as the rule of the Sassenach was absolute. But the very idea of the Roman Catholics.coming into majority reverses‘all these notâ€" ions of popular government. In that case they will never obey. We trust that, in spite of the encouragement they got to rebelliOn from the press of the aristocracy, there are only a few who will, when the time comes be found wrong-minded in this way and these with the smallest admixâ€" ture of the Puritan stock which has made Ulstermen the promoters of progress in Canada and in all parts lot the world.” i T00 WONDERFUL WHISREY A Remarkable Description of the ‘ Welsh Brand Mr. Lloyd-George informed the House of Commons that the only disa ’ tillery set up in Wales has been closed. which from the poetical point of view only is a matter of regret “Some years ago.” writes a correspondent, “I visit‘ dred Per .cent as compared with'\an led this establishment and found there increase of. twenty-five per cent. in I quite a big brewing of the ‘cratur,’ 019 population during the same period.

In other words while. aman 5 killed about every forty-eight hours, there is an execution about every 2 years. Mr. White says that while the machinery Iof the law is very hard upon small offenders, the proportion of escapes in cases of manslaughter, or murder are so great as to make the Welsh equivalent for the same; But what amused me was a document I came across some time afterwards “Welsh whiskey is the most wonder- in] whiskey that ever drove the skele: ion from the feast or painted land- scapes in the brain of man. It is the mingled souls of peat and barley. washed white with the waters of the Theweryn. In it you will find the sum over the billowy fields, the breath of June, the carol of the lark, the dew of night, the wealth of Sum- mer and Autumn, a rich content, all golden with imprisoned light.” ' i I PROFITED BY KING’S FUNERAL During a county court case at Mary- lebone recently respecting stands near the law appear ridiculous and to\en- l Edgware-road not being completed by roiirage‘grave crimes of all sortsi and kinds.
