Hard luck, old man, she’ll soon be yours.” To a Western Ontario man who is at the age when he should be making love instead of standing aside as a spectator and making comments on Cupid’s slaves, the sight of a pair of “happy young things” seems cause for jesting cynicism. “Tell it to her, old man,” is his comment when the hero and heroine of the little drama “All the world loves a lover.” Some- body says it’s because lovers make such delightful fools of themselves, but at any rate the sight of a couple pf people making love it} public seems to .aronse in oth‘ér people pretty near- 1y all the known sentiments. _ When the proof got back to them they saw that the “r” was marked to be taken out. But. although the mark was the one generally used to mean ”take out." they thought that Mr. Blue had meant to indicate that the “r” was a broken or worn-down let- ter. So they put in a better looking “r.” But the revised proof came back to them with the sign meaning to take out that letter, and this time the sign was in red ink. The printers were puzzled, and, as the letter they had used instead of the poor one looked to be quite good, they let it stand. Soon afterwards Mr. Blue went to the printing oflice. History doesn’t say whether he went there on general business or made a special trip to “kill” the offending letter, but at any rate he pointed out the letter in the proof to the foreman and said, “Please get me that ‘r.’ I want to break i “12-,” 1 n good one put in.” The revenue for: November was $10,061,060, as against $8,748.02‘3 in the same month last year. The ex- penditure on current account or the month totalled $6,430,737, an increase of $871,307 as compared with Novem- ber. 1909. Capital expenditure total. led $3.145.526. a decrease of $305,255. compared with the same month last The foreman did as requested. Re- mming to Mr. Blue he looked hard at the now famous letter and said, “That is a bad ‘r.’ I’ve just had a Ordinary expenditure amounted to 341638846 8 decrease of 34.912277. while capital expenditure azarwated $19.123941. a decrease of $1, 522, 026. The tot-$1 revenue for the eight month3 ending November 30 was $75 875 446, as compared \xith 364‘ 656 509 during the same period of the last fiscal year. How Revenue Grows. The national debt of Canada at the close of November stood at $327,764.- 621. according to the statement just issued by the Finance Department. There was an apparent decrease at $535,356 during the month. but the debt was greater than on November 30. 1909. by $4,789,800. In a report concerning mines in On- tario, Mr. Blue used the word “matte,” which, while a perfectly pro- per and respectable word, is techni- cal and not well known. The print- ers at the establishment where the Government printing was being done set the word “matter.” Puzzled the Printers. Archibald Blue. who is at the head of the Census Department at Ottawa. had an amusing experience with printers back in the days when he was in the service of the Ontario Govern- ment. a big thing in a very vital and con- vincmg way. It's after all in men like Mr. Blael'iford who are willing to spend good money and much time abroad to perfect themselves in some form of art. that Canada has to look in the main for the greater part of her best art life. While Canadians may, and must be willin" to learn big things from artists wlmicome here from other coentries to live. we must depend very largely upon those who have: come up in the country for the bulk of our best art production. whether in music. pictures or writ- ing. The more Canada attracts big continental artists such as the United States has done. the more must be expected from native talent. Mr. Frank Blachford of Toronto is an excellent example of a young Canadian who by strong natural en- dowment, great Itierseverance and steadfast adherence to a conservative ideal in music has put himself well up in the front ranks of Canadian musicians. Mr. Blachiord went to Germany some years ago, rather un- decided whet-her to study violin or piano. He came back after three or four years in Leipsic a thorough ex- ponent of the violin, both in playing and teaching. He is a type of man who might have done well at ordin- ary business. He is doing a much bigger work with the violin. As or- ganizer of the Toronto String Quar- tette, the premier organization of its kind in Canada; as concertmaster of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra; as solo performer on the violin; as a ster- ling composer-when he has time, Mr. Blacht’ord is entitled to a full appreciation as a big worker who knows what he wants and gets it in an artistic way. As concertmaster to the orchestra he occupies an enviable position. even without doing solo work. But his recent performance of the St: Sacns conCerto stamped him as a player who has got the grip of Frank Blachford Ranks High Among Violin Soloists.

Maior Stephens ls Devoting His Life to Developing City of Montreal. An ordinary set-up individual can easily look down on the ChiefHarbor Commissioner of Montreal: but that's speech. Major George Stephens is one of the hi9: sake. Most of the big doers in Canada are men who began by getting what they are entitled to. have got into the puhlic eye. Major Stephens began life with enough in- come to satisfy him. There was no reason why he. should spend his life making more money. except for money’s sake. He saw a bigger way.

This was well illustrated on a farm in Ontario.

This sounds like a pathmaster; which Mr. McGil- 1'erray is. being Manitoba’s first high- wav commissioner. Last session of the Manitoba Legislature an act was pass- ed “respecting the improvement of public highways.” Mr. McGillivray get his position under this act; de- servedi'yuhis education being of an engineering character; several years spent in hydraulic mining in British Columbia, railway construction for the Canadian Northern, and for the past few years in charge of drainage problems and bridgeobuilding in the Public Works Department of Mani. toba. Mr. McGillivray has convinc- ed the Government and the good roads association that he understands how to build roads. He is the “Good Roads Campbell” of Manitoba. and he has a work of very heavy importance to do. Majbr Stephéns is. a man of Montreal is proud. and a type every Canadian city needs. To look at Major Stephens you see the bigger way bulging out all over him. There’s a head on those com- pact shoulders that looks like initia- tive coupled with Public Spirit. The man sparkles with animation.
