Two men, strangers to each other,
sat side by side in the Brush street de-
pot the other day. One was corpu-
lent, pompous man, and the other Nnder-
sized and humble-looking. A third
man approached, and without looking
directly at either one inquired:
Say, Major, will you tell me what
time the Niagara Falls train leaves this
side?"
Both men pulled out their watches
and made answer in chorus, but as they
did so the pompous man turned in his
seat and said:

as he mentioned my title. p"

of the utmost Importance to the lumber

sion is OF more than ordinary interest, as
many lumbermen from abroad have taken
out and are holding t. titles in the same

would impress the people with the
fact that it is absurd to look to the
rich alone for the accomplishment
of that great work of reform which
has become so great q necessity.
There are, after all, very few rich
men, and we must not get into the
habit Of thinking that the world
vas made for them. This Is a
poor mans world, and it never
will be we'll governed-never can
be we'll governed-until the honest
poor come to the front with full
seuse If the responsibility which is
justly theirs. :
At a time when the atmosphere
Is surcharged with the electricity
of revolution, when communism
and socialism are rife throughout
Christendom, there is an unjust
and unfortunate disposition TO
confuse the poor with the enemies
of established order and conserva-
tive policy. Men who do legiti-
mate business, and who hope to
pnsh their own fortunes by attack
ing those of others. are prompt to
play upon the prejudices of those
who find the struggle for existence
a hard one. But there is great
difference between the noisy vaga-
bond who is poor because he will
not work and the sturdy toiler
who is poor because be has enjoyed
SO few advantages and opportuni-
ties In money making. Moreover,
| it ought to be evident to all that
those advantages and opportunities
can never be increased for any
] class by the promotion Of dema'
gogues and professional polltica
tricksters. "Short hairs" and 8
silk stockings'' are not IN necessar,
opposition to each other, but their
must ever be 4 conflict between
the honest man and the knave. i

but to every man whc maintain
