An Editor and . Golden Hair.

"one beautiful spring morning an editor found a golden hair lying be- tween the pages of a manuscript" writes Edward Box in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The moment he reach ed the page 1t gracefully fluttered out. Flushed with excitement, the editor caught 1t. It was not his hair, he ar gued, therefore 1t was not his property. Then, again, he thought, the owner probably lost 1t and might need 1t. So he put 1t back. He was a methodical man, and he replaced 1t exactly as he had found it. He was not many days older when be received a letter proving by the very hair he had so dexterously caught and conscientiously replaced that he never had read or even opened the manuscript of the writer. Could anything have been a clearer case against the editor2 Most certainly not. It was conclusive and final, don't you sea?u

Canada Contented a. It Is.

In various ways and under all sorts of disgulses has annexation been pre- scented. Sometimes its advocates have been lordly, threatening and coercive. At other times they have come as good friends, anxious to save us from tyr amy" and to make us really happy. The thing is now called continental union," which implies a harmonious pooling of interests. But, call 1t what they may, Canada will have none of it. There Is plenty of room on this North American continent for the republic which has a four years monarchy and for the monarchy which is true re- public. Side by side they can work out their destinies, each attending to it's own concerns and entertaining the best of good feelings toward the other. The Continental Union association is apparently a source of amusement for the New York gentlemen who belong to It. If 1t satisfies them, 1t does not hurt us.-Toronto Mall and Empire.
