PICTURESQUE ELECTION FEATURES.
An election in this province has many pict-
uresque features that are lacking elsewhere.
Here the platform speaker reigns supreme. The
responsiveness of the somewhat illiterate habi-
tant to good speaking is remarkable, and to an
extent quite unknown in the English provinces
the result turns upon the labors Of the orator.
With so great premium speaking. il is no
wonder that the graces of oratory are assidu-
ously cultivated. Hardly a man in public life
or one with aspirations in that direction can
be found who does not use his own language
with precision and even elegance, and many of
them are masters of English as well. Most of
these speakers are lawyers or journalists. for
here the two professions are closely allied.
AS soon young man enters the law schools
he begins his education in public speaking. His
first experience is gained in the debating So
cieties; as soon he acquires a little seIf-con-

can climb as far as his capacity will permit him
If he is a speaker of exceptional talent he may
count with confidence on an early nomination to
the Legislature 10 Parliament. The prejudice
against resident candidates, which prevails
very strongly elsewhere in Canada, is hardly
known in Quebec; is youth counted a dis
qualification. Repeatedly young with no
family connections and no resources whatever
have had themselves nominated in counties
where they were practically unknown, and have
won their way TO Parliament by their perform
ances on the stump.
The Rouge party, as il existed for a gener-
alton, was the result Of campaign inaugurated
by a handful of youths in Montreal. A few law
students smitten with the revolutionary doc
trines that convulsed Europe in 1915. decided
to submit their panaceas for universal happi-
ness to the electors and they separated for their

with his dreams of the accident. Mrs.
Hardy woke and begged her husband
to lie down and get little rest. He

o'clock by the doctor coming in. He

He went down stairs, and the doctor
followed him as he went out into the
hall and flung on his overcoat. Mr..

door:

SO Mr.. Hardy went out into the night
with n glimmer Of hope in his breast.
1t was showing again, and a strong
wind was blowing, so he buttoned his
big coat close up, drew his hat down
over his brows and, leaning forward,
walked as rapidly as he could against
the wind in the direction of the doc
tors house. The streets were almost
deserted. The lights at the corners
hickered and owed palN through the
lamps.
AS he turned down q narrow street,
intending TO make a short cut across a
park that lay near the Doctors, he was
suddenly seized by three or four young
men, and one Of them said in n tone
which betrayed drunken debauch:

You've got plenty of chlnk, and we
haven't! SO no squalling, or We'll
shoot you for it,
Mr.. Hardy was taken completely by

shake himself loose, to knock down

make a run for 1t. His next glance,
however, showed him the nature of
the group of young men. They were
not professional robbers, but young

Mr.. Hardy guessed exactly right.
What could he dot Two Of the young

impulse was 20 discover himself 10

other young men were in shadow, and
he could not tell them. All this pass

But before he had time TO do anything
a police officer sprang out OF a door
way near by, and the group of young
men. dropping their hold Of Mr.. Hardy,
fed In different directions.
The officer made pursuit and after
a short run captured ore of the young
men, whom, after vigorous resistance,
he dragged back to where Mr.. Hardy
stood, eXclaiming:
