When Bishop Potter OF New York
was asked the other day what he
thought OF woman suffrage he made
the diplomatic reply: My dear
madam. have got away beyond that;
/ am trying to make the best terms
with the sex that I can obtain" This
brings to mind the motto Of William M.
Evarts when asked by a lady il he
did not think that woman was the
best judge Of woman. He replied;
mot only the best judge, madam. but
the best executioner."

desired to have their horses make a
good appearance at the horse show,
and hit upon that means of making
an ordinary animal appear frisky.
The bit burr is a contrivance made
Of heavy leather. three inches in diam
eter. In the center is a hole large
enough to admit the bit. On the inner
side Of the burr are lunches of bristles,
which protrude quarter Of an inch.
The burr is slipped or the bit and the
hristles rub against the side Of the
horses mouth when the line is pulled
taut. The burr is used legitimately for
correcting a "one-line puller," as a
horse which pulls to one side is called.
Bristles is the usual material used
for studding the burr, although 1t is
charged that some horse owners use
tacks. with the sharp point fled on.
Both kinds of the burr are sad to have
been removed from the New York
horses.

MAYOR OF OTTAWA ousTED.

No incident for many years has cre-
ated such excitement throughout the
Dominion Of Canada as the disqualsfi-
cation from office for two years of
w. D. Morris. mayor Of Ottawa, for the
comparatively trivial offense Of pur-
chasing glass OF liquor after the legal
hour Of closing. The law was con-
sidered a dead letter and is openly
violated by all ranks and conditions
OF society. There have been many
feuds between the mayor and Chief Of
Police w F. Powell over police ap-

servia is in trouble now with an
epidemic Of marriages. The cause Is
the system Of marriage banks founded
as an encouragement TO thrift, but
which have proved to have quite an
opposite effect The young men and
maidens Of sevvia begin paying into
these institutions at an early age on
the promise Of premium on marriage.
Immefiately a small sum has been ac-

that the first offer IS snapped up. In
consequence prematureiy early and un-

matter has now reached the govern

the root OF the evil, is being debated.

LAUGHTER A DUTY.

Laughter is duty, and not a very
difficult duty. either, to young people
1t is not hard for young people to
laugh. They should be encouraged to
cultivate laughter as a Christian
grace, never losing the art or allowing
it to fail into disuse. Let the children
laugh at table. even giggle if they
wish to. rather than be solemn and
serious. People should seek always
to be cheerful To do what is right
obeying 6ne's conscience, fills a heart
with gladness and song. and laughter
naturally follows. There is mission

Others laugh may be a great blessing
to her fellow women. There are times
in ones experience when a bit of fun
is better. more a means Of grace, than
a serious sermon would be. There
are times when the best help we can
give to a friend is to make her laugh.
The wise man says A merry heart
doeth good like a medicine. A hearty
laugh would cure many a sickly feel

the whole aspect of life.-Pensyl-

progress IL seems that the mayor asked
the chief why he did not carry out
the law. whereupon Mr.. Powell retort-
ed; How can carry out the law
when you are breaking It every day?"
In reply the mayor called the chief a
liar. AS revenge the chief caused the
mayors arrest for transgressing the
dead letter law. Section II of the
Ontario license act says:
"If a member OF any municipal
council is convicted Of having know
ingly committed any onense under this
act, he shall. in addition to any other
penalty to which he may be liable
under this act. thereby forfeit and va
cate his seat and shall be ineligible
to or to sit or vote in any municipal
council for two years thereafter; and
II such person. after the forfeiture
aforesaid, sits or votes at any munich
pal council he shall incur a penalty
OF $40 for every day he so sits or
votes" Public sympathy goes so far
that it is likely a numerously signed
petition viii be sent TO the lieutenant
governor of Ontario. in council, asking
for a free pardon for the mayor.
Should this come before the last Mon
day in November Mr. Morris would be
eligible TO run for the mayoralty in
January. bat IL is extremely doubtful
whether the disqualification win be

The painters who were killed were
working on the east-bound track, while
another, Joseph S. Dunn, was working
on the west-bound track, painting the
dividing fence. Just before the flyer
