THE LITTLE KERCHIEF

Ii was only wee worn kerchief that lay in my
trembling hands
As sat by the window dreansing, and locked on
the moonlight lands;
It was only wee worn kerchief, but il filed nv
heart with tears,
For it spoken of my beloved, aud the unforgotten
years
thought OF the old, old garden, where many a
happy n'gnt
She stood in the summer moonlight and waved
that kerchief white,
AS she watched in fond confijing, for she knew
that it would DE
beacon OF light TO guide me. a signal of love to
ne.
But the moon rose over the meadows. the night
grew hushed and still,
And metEOught that 10y beloved came down froTu
the old sweet hul:
Once more her hand was waving, once more that
kerchief white
Flashed like the wing of an angel out of the
silent night
So keep the little ierchief, with trust that can
ne'er grow cold,
For know tina my love is waiting as once il the
days OF old,
And out of the bright blue heaven there viii
come, ia the years to be,
Her message of love to call me- her signal of love

that the claim Of his father, William Web
er, as one of the heirs to plat of land
six5y-six acres in extent, located in New
York City, south of Canal street, has been
proven. The plot. now studded with
massive blocks of buildings, was bought
IN 1886 by Wilfred Weber, of Holland,
who settled on Manhattan Island short
time previous. In 1874 Mr.. Weber leas-
ed the land to q kinsman, Wilfred Weber,
Jr., for 200 years. DR.. Weber's father is
of the seventh generation of Weber SEN
ior, who originally owned the land. On
the expiration of the lease II 1874 the
land naturally reverted to the descendants
of the original Wlfred Weber, ard for a
few years past William Weber and other
descendants have been busiiy engaged
proving they were direct descendants of
the first owner. Now that it is proved,
there will be a meeting of heirs in New
York, Jan. 20, to com plebe the arrange
ment for getting possession. The pro
perty is valued at $50 OOO,OOO.

CANApA's DRIFT TOWARD ANNEXATION.

The storm center of the fisheries dis
pute rests for the time being over Cana
da. We can afford to allow the CONNER
cial argument to take its course, but the
political tension there car be proitably
followed. The Toronto Globe remarked
the other day that one of three things
was acknowledgements union with
the United States, abrupt termination of
all commercial intercourse, or finally an
aexation. The article was written in the
belief that commercial union was the
manifest destiny of the two countries;
but it does not take very extended
search among the Canadian papers to
find abundant evidence of deep feeling
In favor of annexation. The Toronto
mail, in the course of long and gloomy
editorial on the commission, explained
how the maritime provinces would suffer
if the present tariff arrangements are
maintained or If the convention of 1918
is abandoned. "In all likelihood" it con-
tinues ''the secession agitation III the
maritime provinces will be renewed, and
who could blame them for resenting the
abandonment of valuable portion of
the national inheritance" This admis-
sion is but one voice from a rising storm.
A cry comes up from New Brunswick
which sounds like an echo of the forebod
ings of the Mail. John Ellis, a member
of the Dominion Parliament, says through
the medium of his paper, the st. John
Globe, that annexation is the tone simple
way" of settling the fisheries dispute. 1t
is not TO be wondered at that the pro-
vince is greatly excited over words like
these:-
Let any reasonable man soberly ask
himself the question, what cause exists
for dividing line, and he cannot ans
wer it to his own satisfaction. To a
Canadian, full of national aspiration and
seeking national life, where can he secure
it as he can in the United States? Events
are crowding each other SO rapidly in
Canada that it is only question of time
when the people of Canada will be asked
to settle the question of annexation at
tue polls.

The failure of Greenway's bank, War
wickshire, Eng, some little time ago was
due to the most fragrant wildcat"
banking, which had been carried on sue
oessfully for quarter of century.
The country people had no doubt of the
banks solvency in all these years.
Kelguge Greenway, the senior partner,
was extremely respectable, very well con-
nected, and was considered a model
banker by the whole countryside. Mean
while the bank was totally insolvent, and
the firm traded on their customers money
and their own reputation. Reckless
speculation was carried on, the firms
private accounts were overdrawn, and not
ever 'doctored" statement of the banks
affa IS was made. Greenway's bank was,
we believe the last private bank which
had the right of issue, and when the
crash came the creditors OF course got
nothing, and the bank bills were wholly
worthless.
