Nor is the argument out of reason that passenger traffic on this line of the Canadian Pacific Railway could be stimulated by having the train which runs from Owen Sound to Toronto on Monday morning return instead on Sunday night.

Railroads Can Get the Passengers That railway officials are waking up to the fact that pe0ple will patronize the railways if given reasonable in- ducement to do so would appear to be proved by the popularity of the city- to-country excursion from Toronto to iOwen Sound at the week-end.

When one re- lcalls the nomination meetings and scraps of two decades ago, one wonders if citizens have lost their public spirit and interest, or is it that councils have grown so much more efficient that their actions no longer call for criticism and active opposition?

It is also the most difficult to create or perceive.” The things we have all seen are usually too familiar to shed beauty. We see beauty as a rule, only when it is advertised to us by something strange. We must cross an ocean, or scale a mountain, or lis- ten to a blast on a big horn.
