left good bit of money, and the way
he made ducks and brakes OF II was n
caution. About the time | came into
the club he had run his race and was
tangled up with the note shavers Six
months later he was known to be fiat
broke. The man had keen sense OF
humor, though obstinate as a mule
about linking advice. and II was doubt
less his desperation that drove him
into cheating ut cards. The Incident
did not happen at our club. but ut
another, though we were speedily IN
possession OF the proofs. 1t meant his
doom. Even II he had not been down
to his last dollar he would have been
tabooed everywhere. AS 1t was, with
no hope for the financial future, he
had only to sit down and plan how he
should disappear from the sight OF
men.
Queen had been a hot favorte In the
club and many Of us hoped he might
bring forward good defense, but as n
matter Of fact he made none. There
was no other way than cOmpulsion.
and while some OF tho voters thought
he might drift out TO the colonies and
make new start others were con-
fident that a man Of his temperament
would not try to outlive the disgrace.
About week after Queen had been
Officially notified Of his expulsion he
met u member OF the club on the street
and through him extended an invita-
tIOn to Ave or six others OF US TO par
take OF little farewell dinner with
him, as he was on the eve OF going
away. II seemed queer move on his
part, and you may think II queer In
our accepting the Invitation, but we
who had been most chummy with him
could find excuses for him. II was
decided to drop In on him as indiyid-
uals and In no way binding the club.
and when the evening came around
i've OF us were on hand. Queen had
spacious apartments In n fashionable
thoroughfare. and he welcomed us
with the utmost heartiness. The Ave
OF US went In together, and we found
ourselves the only guests. On arriving
we were ushercd into his sitting room,
from which most OF the furniture had
been removed. 1t was being packed
for storage during his absence, he said.
but we knew that 1t had gone to the
auction rooms instead. Had there
been suspicious man among US he
would have wondered that no odors
came from the kitchen or noise from
the dining room. and he would have
noticed that Queen seemed n bit nerv.
GUS and unensy and was doing his
best to appear serene. We had gone
In friendly spirit for pleasant hour.
and why should we feel suspicious OF
our host?
We were offered cigars as soon as
we got seated. and as we smok.

A young man who goes into Journal
ism intent on making reputation and
being something more than a mere
amanuensis or copyist must have u
prompting love for his work, n quick
perception Of what Ia to be seized on
In passing events and tho ability nc-
curately to narrate or describe on pa
per that which he has seen or which
has been told him.
But these three essentials are not
provided by any college course. Any
editor can tell true stories OF men
from the best eastern universities, men
with trained minds and well stocked
vocabularics and vast assortment OF
general knowledge, who were OF no
value In newspaper Office because
they were not able to identify n piece
OF news even when It was lying IN
front OF them and beckOning to them,
or perhaps because critical self
consciousness prevented them from
writing u simple impersonal account
OF an everyday happening. 1t cannot
be said that such men are "inferior"
TO the other men who fill the paper
with valuable and entertaining mat
ter. All we can say IL that they are
not adapted to this peculiar grind.
They were not "cut OUT TO be news
paper men. The sooner they get out
Of the work tho better.
Fortunately getting out IL not usual
Iy delayed. The ease with which n
young man bursts into journalism In
only equnled by the superb ense with
which no IL sent through the street
door " he fails to show n quick and
enthusiastic grasp OF the requirements.

odds the fastest club In fast London,

There were no card sharpers or debt

matter of business the men are at loss
for facts relative to cost and value. In
meeting the argument of the purely
business proposition of the strike, the
workmen can only infer what the facts
are from relative facts and conditions.
The employers have these facts at their
command. and whether they state them
truly OF otherwise, their statements must
in the main go unchallenged.
The workmen are therefore compelled
to adopt the ethical view of the matter
and make their proposition good from
that side of the issue. They are to be
congratulated on this, that they have an
impregnable fortress from which to fight
to which to retire for rest and recupera-
ton after defeat, if defeat SO comes.
There are signs of other strikes in
til" mir. We have been hoping, and have
not vet lost confidence in realizing that
hope, that this machinists' strike would
win out without the necessity OF calling
ont other branches of metal workers in
its aid. President O'Connell's estimate
Of the number of men on strike yesterday
morning was $4,000 indicating that about
10000 men who went out on Monday
last have returned to work under the new
system. The proportion here would seem
to lie greater than Mr.. O'Connelrs gem
