Mr. George Fox, violinist, of Toronto, was the drawing card, and from the breathless attention of the audience and the rounds of applause to each number he gave excellent satisfaction. The music was all high-class, hut in our humble judgment the. rendering On reading an article in last ”week's Review signed “Fair Play” we felt somewhat astonished at the ignorance of the writer, or his willing disposition to be. untrnthful to suit his purpose. \\'ithout paying any attention to the cantankerous ignoramus who hasn’t the moral courage to sign his own name. we proceed to take exception to his statement about Mr. Calder heing "time and again, the popular choice.” In order to ascertain full particulars we mode it our business to examine the minutes ot all the annual meetings since the Furniture Company was formed. and find that in 1899 the Pro- visional Directors were chosen by an1 open \‘nte. and Mr. (.‘alder was not one; of them. ln I!!!) the Vote was by ballot, Mr. (‘alder being defeated. In 1901-2, the Directors were elected by acclamation, Mr. Calder having with- drawn his name on each occasion. In 1903-4 the Directors were again elected hy acclamation. Mr. Calder not even ‘ neing IlOlllilliltt t'l. \Ve are not saying a word against Mr. Calder, but how “Fair Play” can make the statement that the vote of the heavy stockhold- ers was plumwd against him ‘jtime and again” is a puzzle to any sensible man. “Fair Play” says the tables have turned. \Ve would like to know in what way. Could the heavy stock holders, if they saw fit, not plump their votes against Mr. Calder, and keep him from office ? “Pretty small potatoes” says “Fair Play,” but we would advise Mr. Ignoramus to eat lots of them before he again under- takes to.sh0w us his ignorance. Fools rush in where angels fear to trend, and We would advise “Fair Play” to Resp out of print, or sign himself “lgnoramus,” which would be a suit- a vle nom (le plume.

Electric Lights are things put in houses to give light. Some times they give light, and more times they don’t. Some people put them in their house to use, but my pa he says the only thing he can see they’re good for is to swear at. My pa’s religious,â€"some- times, but he ain’t got much religion when he’s talking electric light. Last Saturday night my pa and ma and the dog and me and our cat was all in the sittin’ room together, and ma she was reading out of the Bible getting pa tuned up for church on Sunday, and she had justgot to the place where somebody says something about being the light of the world, and something must have gone wrong out in the country, but anyway our lights went out. Pa he got up to get a lamp I guess, and some way or other he must have stepped on our dog, for the dog yelled and pa jumped and I don’t know exactly what happened but there was an awful noise, and pa said things and ; when ma had got a lamp we found ‘ him trying to stand on his head in the coal scuttle. 1 tell you what he looked { funny brushing the coal dust out of { his hair, and saying things. Ma told ‘ him to shut up and not be setting his only little boy a bad example using i such awful words, but pa said he i didn’t care a cuss about his only little 1 boy or the example either, and didn’t ( care a condemn about the electric { light company into the bargain, and 4 he’d be blowed if he thought the elec- tric light man and the. fellow who was light of the world were much relation. | After a while pa (tooled oi? a little and sat down in a «hair and wiped theI blood off his ear. Just then the. lights ‘ flared up again and pa started to read the paper. It wasn’t no use though,I _ and after a while pa said he’d see ifl the darn things would give light (slough to eat; an apple by. So I had ' to go down cellar for some apples, and ’ ma had some pie down there. and I got ' hungry all at once and stopped to get ‘ some. l’amust have thought I was a i 1 long time after the apples for he start- ed to come down stairs to see. what was the matter and I heard him com- ing and grabbed the apples and started up. I guess everything would have‘ been all right if the lights hadn’t gone . out again. and ma told pa not to try to go down stairs in the dark but he said he never saw a place yet he couldn’t go in the dark, and kept right 5 on coming. Our dog and cat must have run down stairs when pa was doing the coal scuttle act, but anyway I they was on the steps, and pa stepped 0 on the cat and slipped and kept right on coming only he come faster than I before. I wouldn’t have cared, but he caught me just as I started to come > up, and for a while the air was full of me, and the dog, and pa, and cat hair, and ma’s pie, and some of the awful- lest words you ever heard. Pa must y have been thinking of some girl, for just about the time he, hit he hollered for Helen Damnation, but she didn’t come, so I suppose she was out of town though I never knew she. lived in 1' Durham, and ma, who had come to the stairs with a light started to cry, and said she always thought pa was running around with other women, but hadn’t believed it till now, and was going to pack up and start for [s grandma’s in the morning. Pa said i he hoped to blazes she would, and take -y the all-fired electric lights with her, [S but for fury’s sake (this isn’t the word he used, but I can’t swear like pa can) bring the light down and let' him see where he was. Well we found pa sit- i 3 .1 .l L] t ‘3 through the top of his new $5 hat, the n- dog was lying in the corner of the cellar, and I don’t know where the cat went for she hasn’t been back since. After a while we led pa up stairs and sat him down in a chair, but he said he didn’t want any apples. I thought it wasn’t very good manners to send a fellow down stairs in the dark for them and then not eat any, but pa said his stomach was out of order from some- thing he eat for supper. and he didn’ti care for any, Next day I found a: piece of his pants on a nail in the apple harrél, and I don’t guess it was ith his stomach that bothered him much. "'0 He said he’d be keel-hauled if he was good-flighis we were having now. Gee! but my pa is an awful liar some Litmusq .. Yours, WILLIE, Clearing Sale! LADIES’ MANTLES ere now going :t cost.
