steel. The men who run the rollers
are called ''roughers," ..strand- boysn

then passed to the strandboys and
the iinishcrs. who pass it through
small rolls until it is the right thick

day, as they are rolling it for wheel

vited to address the camp. The ma
Jor graciously responded, and gave a
highly interesting impromptu speech,
which was listened to with rapt at
tention. He said that history would
give them the information that the
old veterans who surrounded them
could impart, but that sometimes it
would not be time lily spent to hear
from one who had acted at a period
with their fathers in perpetuating
the government that was the light OF
advanced nationality.
"These old veterans who can be
your personal advisers from expert

An audience which practically filled

portunity to hear one of the best musi-

people of ST. John. The attraction was
the Torbctt Concert Co., an organization
composed of artists of emincuce and II
solidly established reputation. As for
the programme it was sufficiently COM
prehensivt to please all degrees OF musi-
cal taste. The opening number intro
duced the famous Lutteman seNtettc.

many parts of the old world. They

the woman had faded from sight and in
