On one of the most prominent street corners of Victoria, B. C., two Englishmen were deeply engrossed in conversation. This part of Canada contains a great many Englishmen who are apparently from wealthy families and sent over here in the hope of the country developing them —making them work, so to speak. A trolley car had turned the corn- er, stopped for some passengers to alight and started off again when a man turned the corner on the run and boarded the moving car. The Englishmen looked at each other in amazement. “My word, did you see him run?” one remarked. “The blooming ass!” replied his companion. “I wonder if he did not ~know there was another car in twen- ty minutes?” . Children learn politics as ‘soon as they do their a, b. ¢'s if they live in Washington. Congressmen Campbell of Kansas and Nelson of Wisconsin live across the street from each other here. Each has a seven-year-old daughter. The other day the little Campbell girl was overheard saying to her play- mate across the way: “Your father’s one of those—what you call ’em, insurgents, isn’t he?” “Oh, yes,” admitted Nelson’s daugh- ter. “He votes with the Democrats sometimes.” “My father never, never votes with the Democrats,” asserted the Camp- bell child. “I wouldn’t brag so about it,” re- torted Nelson’s girl. “Wouldn’t he vote with the Democrats if he thot they were right?” “At our house,” replied the daughter of the Kansas standpatter, “we don’t think the Democrats are ever right.” “THIS IS MY 46TH BIRTHDAY” John Calvin Ferguson John Calvin Ferguson, one of a small group of foreigners who rose to places of high distinction in the service of the late imperial govern- ment of China, was born in Canada, March 1, 1866, and received his at Albert College, Belleville, Ont., and Boston University In 1888 he went to China to accept the presi- dent of Nanking University, which position he occupied for ten years. During the next five years he was president of Nanying College. In 1902 he became secretary to the Chinese ministry of commerce and in the same year he served as a member of the Chinese commission apointed to revise the treaties with the United States and Japan. -Later he was chief secretary of the Chinese Imperial Railway administration and for several years was councillor of the Viceroys at Nanking and Wu- chang. In late years Dr. Ferguson has paid several visit to the United States on special misslons for the Chinese government. Congratulations to: Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, national president of the W. C. T. U, 68 MAKES A BIG DISCOVERY at- Things Onas Prove Great- ing. “You know how opposites are at- tracted,” sald Mr. Shortington. “When 1 was a younger man my very particular friend and chum was a chap who was six feet four, while I wasn't much more than four feet aix. Despite the disparity in our di- mensions we were the closest of friends, and as far as I was concern- ed there was only one thing that marred my otherwise complete happl- ness and that was that I could not be as tail as he. But the time came when 1 thought dlfferently about that, and when In fact, he, instead of be- ing proud of hig altitude, wished only that he had been bullt on my more limited scale, and that was when in our later life we had both come to 'be afflicted with rheumatism. “Then when I looked at him, racked with pain throughout his tall frame, I was glad that I was not tall but short; and when he reflected on the nearly two feet more of space in him- self that the rheumatism had to roam over he used to groan and wish that he had been bullt short like me. “Isn’t it singular how things come about?

The Bank of Venice, established in 1157, was the financial center of the world; and when the Revival of Let- ters came, followed almost immediate- ly by the invention of printing, it was Venice that led the world in the out: put of books and_the spread of intelli- gence. | Leaves Kidneys in Weakened Con- dition. Pecullar After Eifects ot Brip This Year Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epl- demic of grip which has visited so many homes.
