As it is a number of towns have extended the half -holiday throughout the entire year and find it satisfactory, but unless it is made province-wide and the same day set for the after- noon it is doubtful if the business competition among the towns in certain sections of the province would permit of the business men establishing such a holiday on their own initiative.” With the latter statement we can readily agree, but we doubt very much if any government would be within its rights in forcing any business man to close his store against his will. As business stands today, nearly every merchant or manufacturer needs all the business he can get and it would be a short- sighted policy on the part of the government to hinder a man in the mercantile line from getting that which is legitimately his if he cares to go after it. In direct opposition to the opin- ions of those who favor the weekly half-holiday system are those who maintain that pleasure-seeking is today the principal ailment of the universe. Too much work and no play may make Jack a dull boy, but again, too much play and less work may not leave him much better off. The craze for pleasure in the pres- ent age has resulted in a sorely- felt shortage of mechanics and laborers of ability, and the longer the present system of wasteful liv- ing continues the harder it will be to get back to normal. The weekly summer half-holiday is all right, but in our opinion it must be agreed upon by those in-~ terested, and any governmental regulation compelling it would be a mistake. If weekly half-holidays were general throughout the entire year and the time off spent in some useful occupation, they might prove a benefit, but if utilized in plea- sure-seeking motor trips or wasted in other ways they might prove a C 11 1'88. Through no fault of our own The Chronicle is late a day, or perhaps more, this week. On Tuesday, the veteran editor and proprietor was taken to the Toronto General Hos- pital for treatment for some inward trouble, and, under the circum- stances, we feel that our readers will be lenient and not too critical for this issue at least. For some time past the editor has not been himself. but during the past two months had shown no im- provement in his condition, in fact, was getting more incapacitated, if anything. Monday afternoon his physician, Dr. D. B. J amieson, after anexhauétive examination decided that the best thing to do was to have him removed to Toronto for iii-5y treatment, and accordingly, accompanied by the writer the trip was made Tuesday morning. At time of writing it is not known what the trouble is, nor will it be until the last of this week or the first of next. It is to be hoped, however, it is nothing serious and that in the course of a few weeks he will be again in command and in full charge of the editorial pen. He is at present in the Private Patients’ Pavilion, Toronto Gener- al Hospital, though it is expected he will return to Durham some time next week. We ask the forbearance of our readers for this issue at least. We are publishing this week under dif- ficulties and feel that we are for- tunate to get a paper out at all, and many important news items will be missed altogether or perhaps not (one into as fully as we would like.

And no matter where the captain went, Doctor was at his heels like a faith- ful dog. xus uva. In the matter of diet, great care was exercised and the jaguar was fed nothing but cooked meat. But Doctor, tiring of his monotonous bill-of-fare, would often steal away to the kitchen and hide in a corner. There he would wait until the cook brought a fresh leg of mutton or a fowl from the ice-chest. Then, without warning, he would leap from his place of hiding, clutch the meat from the cook’s hands, and run off. The menu often had to be changed at the last minute while Doctor munched his stolen delicacy. As the cub increased in size and strength, the c tain realized that he must part wit his pet, and when he was two years old, offered him to a well-known zoological park. The gift was accepted and the cap- tain departed on his long voyage, 1 very heavy of heart. --.. ‘nlnn ‘hn nanâ€" wilBtFFI-{ifigrd'yeaâ€"r later, the cap- tain Immediately went to the park superintendent and asked if he might see his pqgtor. __-- ..
