The Lion of the Place.

or the many artists who have depicted
on canvas the tawny royalty of the king

precaution OF maintaining strong bars be-

There was. indeed, but It was safely

IL was certainly hard for the casual

In view Of the fact that the appellate
division of the supreme court holds that
police officers, are entitled TO a fair trial
in any charges that may be made against
them IL would not be an inappropriate
thing for the police commission, which
is for the time being practically absolute
in police affairs, TO give members OF the
force the privilege of being represented
by counsel There was at one time a be-
lief, in the minds Of the governing classes,
that the Judge was a sufficient friend
for the accused. The civilized world out
grew this idea and now a man charged
with an offence is entitled to counsel.
Fair and impartial as the members of the
commission may desire TO be the rights OF
the accused officers are so important that
they should have the benefit OF counsel
when called TO answer accusations that
may result in the loss Of their positions.

took a noisy farewell of the horse trans

flags and greenery. The oldest drivers
were on the seats and the oldest con-,

crowded 10 the utmost possible extent,
and tho police for once closed their ewes

hurrahs given for the horses. while the
noise brought the guests out of the cafes,
windows were thrown open. and handker-
chiefs waved None of the passengers
left the cars until the circuit was CON-
peted. when the horses were stroked and
fed and the tramway servants richly tlp-
ped. The cars passed each other on the
Frank Joseph Quai amid uproarious cries.

On the whole. we suppose. II was some
what desirable and convenient for some
to die i'm order TO clear up the social pro-
biem that the author OF "Dode" presents
for solution i'm his new novel; Even
literary craftsmen of skill and ingenuity
infreauently moved 10 expedients that
real life only too rarely afford. Few OF
them have the courage of Mark Twain
who, in the midst of a familiar romance
of tremendous complication, had the
frankness TO admit that he knew of no
way TO help his characters out OF the
inextricable tangle he had got them into
and SO abruptly shut off the narrative.
The frequency of bridge whist through

factors familiar TO the initiated that con-

Ii Is a more difficult problem TO under

luton of that problem otherwise than by
an intervention of heroic measures on

Incidentally IL is to be observed that the

and the paper and binding make a volume
that is pleasurably light and feathery in
