Unknc Perhaps we never had among us a. more genial and agreeable fellow than a young journeyman shoemaker with l a wooden leg, He was a. married man. When sober he was it gentleman when drunk he was Salim personified. , While on a spree when he entered the front door of the house his wife. had to 1 fly out at the back. He amused him- . self by smashing the dishes and des-l troying the furniture until wearied' with his mad exploits he Would lie down and sleep when his wife would go in and try to fix things up. i In one of his maniacal rewings he was ‘ with difficulty restrained from self-1‘ destruction. No amount of drinking‘ blunted his keen sensibilities. He 1 was generous to a fault, but quick to notice an insinuation or to resent an insult. It was astonishing what 30-5 tivity there was in that wooden leg. It seemed to have on one of the i“ seven league boots. All he had to do ‘ was to look at a. place and he “got there.“ One day a big bully met him on the street and thought that he could insult him with impunity. He twitted him about his peg. As quick i as a flash some one was lying on his back squirming in the dust. When that “peg” got down to business and all its motive powers in full swing that fellow thought that he was under 2 circulate. The lady married the» clerk and in dissipation they went down to« gether. The property passed into the hands of others, The Hell; died a Sot. The lady became one of the must dissolnte and depraved of characters, a perfect Virago. On the last visit to the scene of her former opulencr- and respectability on account of her vio- lent and abusive temper she was not fit to he received in any home. Unâ€" known to those who would have he- friended her even in her wrecked con- dition she spent the night in the corner of a. driving shed alone and un- cared for. Drink is a great leveller. This unfortunate victim of a degrad~ ing habit .may by this time have fol- lowed her husbands. Ladies in those times were not (it-barred from acquir- ing honors in the socialitios of society and she was a sad sm-cess. Among the prominent victims of the intoxicating glass in those days was awell-known old man. He was one of the jolliest fellows the writer ever knew. He drank much, was al- ways civil and never irritable, always laughing and ever ready for a joke. On one occassion while reeling home from the hotel he was overtaken by a traveller ina light rig. Asking for a. ride it was readily granted. As soon as seated he proposed to drive to which them was a. decided objection. He at once bundled the owner out of the rig. and drove to his home. VVhen the man almost breathless with running and rage cau ht up he hand- ed him the lines, than ed him for the loan of the rig and went in convulsed with laughter at his exploit. His spirit of merriment would develop it- self on all occasions. He would laugh overabroken bone, one occasion ex- cepted. 0f broken bones he had much experience. In his numerous sprees he had broken his legs and his arms, he had broken three of his ribs and dislocated one of his shoulders. While acting as hostler at one of the hotels he fell from the hayloft to the floor and was found next, morning dead with a broken neck. But for drink this man might have lived a better life and died a more hopeful death.

If Mr. Hugh John Macdonald ever ho es to occupy his distinguished fat er’s place in the estimation of the Canadian people he Will have to exâ€" hibit, yum-é of the tact that was so characteristic of the old Chieftain. we cannot understand Why they per- sist in making themselves the Ian h- ing stock of the community. he “ I, William Muluck," incident of a year ago was considered by those who could not look very far ahead 3. most eXL-ellent joke, but as a, matter of fact the amount of attention which the peisistent attempts at ridicule drew to the Postmaster General and his pro- ject, had the exact object which he desired of making the country and the Imperial authorities so familiar with the idea that; when he Went to London this summer to clinch the matter it was comparatively plain sailing: _ A Then again the manner in {Ghich a large number of the opponents of the Government persist in their attempts to “ guy ” Preferential trade is funny. Only this week the Mail & Empire treated its readers to a column leading article to demonstrate that “the policy of the Liberal Government is only one of drift from Great Britian to the United States. It is designed to keep British and Canadian interests asunder and to bring Canadian and United States interests in closer touch.” Almost the same (lay that this oracular utterance appeared, there. was published a copy of a cable sent by Sir Howard Vincent, M. P., on behalf of the United Empire Trade League to Sir Wilfrid Laurier express- ing “the undying gratitude of the British race of to-day‘, and forever to their brothers throughout the vast Dominion for the atriotic and filial inauguration of referential trade between British kith and kin ; ” add- ing “ may this preferential trade grow and grow into the complete commer- cial federation of the British people and possessions the world over." Evidently the point of view makes the difference. A SAMPLE 0F ACCURACY. The. sensational yarns originated by discontented American miners at Dawson and industriously copied from American newspapers by Conservative journals throughout the Dominion continue to appear with monotonous regularity. In View of the fact that thorough investigation will be institu- ted by the Government it is not Worth while to occupy space to discuss it here. That the alleged facts are ab- solutely unreliable in the, absence of testimony from responsible parties, may be judged from one. sample state- ment copied in the Mail 65 Empire re- cently from the Seattle Post Intelli- ence where it is stated that Major alsh has had the power to remit royalties on gold tulgen out of Klondike claims and that he has been exercising that power. Major W'nlsh has abâ€" solutely no such power. the re ulatio'n requiring the collections of 10°0 royallâ€" ty is as definite as all the other re« gulations, and is being administered without qualification by the officials to the best of their ability. Another allegation equally without any shadow of foundation is that Major Walsh has resigned because he is sick and tired of the Wide-spread conuptionand general difficulties of his position. While this statement may have originated in honest ignor- ance of those who started it, it is now well understood that the. Major only accepted his commission for a year. Administrator Ogilvie had been prac- tically selected as his successor long before he went to England. and the present reorganization of the. govern- mental machinery is simply a. carry- ing out of the general scheme which has been gradually formulated by the Minister of the Interior as he has be- come informed of the requirment of the case. So far however the Conser- vative press, that has so far industri- ously Circulated the misleading stories before referred to, have failed to rise to the requirements of honest journal- ism by correcting the error into which they haVe fallen.
