He is there for an indefinite period.â€" Walkerton Telescope. Wept and Departed S. Lempert, a travelling salesman for silks. ran into the bad graces of Constable Tindale one day last week and the chief 's displeasure was not appeased until Lempert had bade farewell to Arthur and all hope of big returns from a house to house canvass of its silk-wearing p0pulation. Lem- pert claimed to be only taking orders for silk for dresses which was a legit- imate pastime. Mr. Tindale claimed. on the contrary that he was selling goods directly in violaton of a town by-law. Lempert was evidently willing to accept the chief ‘s interpretation of his activities so long as he were al- lowed to depart in peace and after a few tears had been shed to soften the constable's heart. the silk vendor mum.

The motorist who refuses to take a chance when summoned to Miss Macphail’s Democracy Miss Macphail, MP. has proposed in Parliament that the convicts in the penitentaries be given a voice in the management of the institutions in which they are confined. That is just about the limit of folly, but it is just as sensible as a great deal more that Miss Macphail stands for. Someone has suggested that the con- victs might favor granting themselves an occasional two-weeks’ vacation or a holiday every week. They might even go further and vote to do away with the penitentaries altogether.

Really they ought to “The Seeing Eye” There are a lot of funny sights in this world if one is possessed of “the seeing eye”. One thing which always gives us a momentary inward chuckle is to see the odd man come out of the beer store with a carton of beer under his arm. He generally wears a silly grin on his face and acts like a sixteen-year-old girl who had just been kissed for the first time. He does his worstest to assume a businessâ€" like air as though he had just purchas- ed a pound and a half of beef-steak and was hurrying home so that his wife could have it in time to cook for dinner. But it is no go, and his very assumed attitude of indifference makes him different, which in itself attracts the attention of the public towards him. He neither looks nor feels just natural. He looks silly and he feels foolish. Isn’t it funny? They can neither kid themselves nor fool the public. But such is life and once more illustrates the effect of the mind over matter.

At the same time thousands of boys and girls in Toronto are pursuing pleasure because they do not have to write entrance examinations and are promoted on .record. It seems to us that it is about SPAIN HAILS FOREIGN BULLFIGHTER They said it couldn’t be done, but Sydney Franklin, citizen of our neighboring nation showed Spain that a “foreigner" could play at their national game of bullflghting even better than their native matadors. Under the watchful and critical eyes of a representative Spanish fight crowd, Franklin dispatched two bulls in the Arena at Seville, with such fine work that he was accorded the signal honor of being carried through the main gates on the shoulders of his the courts tomâ€"Lucknow audience. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Here is a generous support for a Conservative premier from an out- standing Liberal and it is the more sig- nificant in view of the fact that Sen- ator Graham is himself a former school teacher and knows educational matters from the ground up. As a matter of fact there should be no politics in edu- cation and for our part we share Senator Graham’s idea that the prem- ier is honestly and sincerely seeking after progressive measures looking to the real advancement of the cause of education. It is not clear. indeed, how any political gain can be had from the introduction of purely new educational ideas, but some of the premier’s political opponents seem to be so mortally afraid that he may gain some advantage out of it that they must needs oppose him. What a nar- rowing, dwarfing thing poltiical bias Graham came out very frankly and generously in praise of the present educational policy of Premier Fergu- son, declaring that he was behind the premier in his “trying out new ideas to meet the demands of the present generation” and adding that not only was he himself in favor of rural consolidated schools, but that “he was glad Premier Ferguson was feeling his way about to make practical advances in education. ” A is! â€"-1 BENEDICTS HAVE Eleven Rm Crou Plate end the Game Wu Almost In the Beaâ€"l. 0. 0.
