Among the civil servants of the Dominion there is only one 'who bears the title of Knight. pe, Under "Secre- "!tary of State for External Affairs. Nor does he flaunt his title in the face of the public. Look up his de- Lag rr in the telephone directory ttawa and you will find him down as plain "Joseph Pope.'"' But just as a matter of simple historic fact, he does occupy this unique position, and he does not occupy it without justification. He is Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George for the very good reason that he has been able in a number of instances to perform outstanding services for the Dominion, and he has been able to perform these outstanding ser- vices because he poss qu cations which are exceedingly rare on this side of the Atlantic. The central fact of these special | qualifications is a wide knowledge of the "'savoir faire" of official life. He knows how to do things. He knows his way around Government he knows thority on the etiquette of official and court circles--a branch of knowledge which is highly useful even in our democratic community. - course, he did not pick this up a day. He had a long appren- ticeship under that master of state- men, Sir John A. Macdonald.

To the man in the street the skill of the surgeon of a@ mir aa man skill. Supreme Test. And there is no doubt but that a big operation calls for the very highest qualities that man posses- ses. Even in the perfectly lit and perfectly appointed operating thea- tres of a great hospital, with every possible aid at hand that modern science commands, the task is severe one. Yet often and often the surgeon is called upon to perform opera- tions without any such aide, and : ters passes through Bir Joseph's h e is now directly respon- sible for the discharge of his duties to the Premier, who is the political head of the department. Of all Sir Joseph's services to Canada, perhaps the greatest is the preparation of the "Life of Sir John A. Macdonald." It will al- ways remain a classic among Cana- dian biographies, because of the in- timate light it sheds upon the = tical life of the Dominion. A co gpibn piece to it is a collection 'ol Confederation doc nts, includ- ing a diary of the Quebec confer- ence, which is indispensable to the man who wants to know how we came to be. Sir Joseph Pope's la- bors as a public servant, valuable though they are, may be forgotten. His services as the literary . execu- tor of Sir John A.

In February, 1911, a similar case occurred at the West London Hos-. pital, but here the fire broke out just before the operation was be- gun, so there was time to remove the man to another department. a Her Long Suit.
