difference in her business which of
the great parties in this country
control the government. The Re-
publicans with their lookout for
the welfare of United States indus
tries and products fairly knocked
Canadian John silly and his fail
ures went up in the scale like
rockets on election nights. The
Democrats, with their Legislation
for the benefit of other countries
regardless of the interests of this,
so legislated for Canada that her
industries went booming at the
expense of their competitors on
this side of the blue Niagara. The
difference is seen in the failures
under the two administrations of
tariff, the losses under Republican
being greater by forty per cent. in
Canada than under Democratic
tariff regulations. This forty per
cent. now falls on the United States
producer, to the intense satisfac-
ton of Canadian John. No Won
der the Dominion boys are in
terested in the success of the DEM
ocratic party in this country. They
will only rejoice for a season, how
ever, for the Republicans soon re-
turn to power.

for city ele ctions by wards? Can an
amendment to the revised statutes
override a constitutional provision?

Two children OF John Fehr, residing

thrilling adventure with swarm of
bees The insects left the hive in a
large, black, and varieRated ball, as
usual when swarming, and alighted
upon 2-year-old child who was play
ing in the yard. totally unaware of the
danger. Another child, Merton. aged
IA years, fortunately realized the dan
gerous condition Of affairs, and having
learned that swarms will vacate GER
tain places when noise is produced, at
once secured tin kettles and hammered
upon them with great energy. The din
and confusion caused the bees TO leave
the child unframed, and in few mo-
ments more the swarm allghted upon a
pine tree, where the owner subsequent
ly captured them in hive. Neither
of the children, singular to relate, had
received single sting.
