ence which proved to be the l. g straw
he could not bear"

-
Those who have read ST. vker Hen
derson's letter to his cons Saents pub
0lished since his declinatic enave reach
ed the conclusion that he must have
contemplated this move some time and
have been engaged in preparing the
letter. This is not necessarily the case.
Speaker Henderson was to have opened
his campaign next week at Waterloo.
He was preparing his speech and had
been collecting statistics and formulate
ing arguments. He had promised his
manuscript in advance so that it CT Aei
be printed and would be useful as a
campaign document. The letter he has
addressed to his constituents shows
marks of careful preparation. and 1T
was in fact prepared at least in part
as his opening address at Waterloo. He
has made other use of it.
The sudden determination of Speaker
Henderson to not be candidate leaves
his private secretary. Julian Richards,
somewhat at sea. Richards has been
a very devoted helper for the speaker.
Some time ago it was rumored he
would be given one of the assistant sec
retaryships of the treasury under Shaw.
Then it was stated that while the pay
would be better in the department posi-
ton it would be less to his liking than
his present place. But it is believed
here that he can yet have a place in the
treasury department, and is likely to
accept it. AT any rate he will be taken
care of by the Iowa delegation in con-

Quaint Cure for Quinsx.

Here is another cure as quaint,
perhaps, as any, but nevertheless i'm
plicitly believed in by the inhabi-
tants OF certain parts of Cornwall.
The complaint to be dealt with this
time is quinsy. Most people have
doubtless heard of the ruse said to
have been adopted before now by
doctors Of making the patient laugh
and thereby causing the obstruction
to burst; but this particular treat
ment is warranted to be entirely pain
less! The remedy is as follows:
Catch a toad and at nightfall hang it
in the chimney (the old-fashioned
open chimney, of course). In the
morning the toad should be cut down
and the string by which it has
swung through the night should be
tied around the neck of the sufferer.
This method is stated to have been
adopted times without number, and
followed by astounding results.

window of a room high up in a poor
old tenement house, where two wom-

GAVE SHOCK TO EoTHA.

Beer General Sees Pictures of Des.
tructc7 to His House.
A curious experience came in the
way of Gen. Louis Botha after the
termination of the war. He lighted
by chance in a shop widow in the
streets of Durham on some photo
graphs Of the destruction Of his own
house, apparently taken BY a British
officer who was with tho troops that
destroyed the house. He recognized
t2e place from the first CT the series
of pictures, which showed the soldiers
round about the house with wagons,
or which the furniture vas being
loaded; on one Of them was tethered
a small monkey belonging to one of
the family, and the animal was clear
ly to be seen in the photograph. The
second view showed the house at the
moment Of being blown up. The
third depicted the wreck.

thinking, as she did so, how angry
her aunt would be. for \ aughan Her
rick had been invited to spend Christi
mas eve with them.
The letter was sent, and Margaret
sat down 10y the bed Of the sick
child.
by and by she saw that the child
lad opened it's eyes and was looking
al her very ntcntly.

had a face just like yours. Are YOU
one OF them? Mother said so. tho
ether day. when YOU brought them

smile into the wan little face on the
pillow. ''ShalI sing to you?"
"Oh. do" cried the child "1Nhen
you sing, the pain don't hurt So
She sang an old-time song Of
Christmas that told of Christ's birth
in the lowly Bethlehem manager, and
of the chorus in the sky. and the
Star that led the way to "where the
young child lay''-sang it so softly,
SO tenderlv, that the face of the child
who listened lost it's look of pain,
and when the song was ended he
looked up and said:
Il think YOU must be an angel for
when dreamed about them they
sang like that"
There came a knock at the door
man came in. Margaret felt who it
was without looking up. Her heart
told her.
John FoSdvke started when he saw
Margaret Leith there. Then a glad.
bright smile came into his face. He
knew, now. who was his unknown
helper in the good work. She put
her hand in his silently There
seemed to be little need of words.
When heart speaks to heart. words
are poor. weak things.
'How is the little lad?" he asked,
gently. and the mother answered
only with a sob.
He went to the bed and bent over
the sick boy.
ut will soon be well with him.
he said, gravely, reverently, as if in
the actual presence of the Lord of
life and death. And the poor mother
knew that he meant that the little
life was almost ended, and sat crying
softly in the shadow.
LET us pray" he said, and then
he kne]t down and made little
prayer. The prayer held but few
words, and they were simple ones,
tut they were eloquent with human
love, and made the heart of the
mother stronger to bear the loss that
was so near, for there is always COM
fort and strength for the soul that

ers sympathize with us and share our

looking at Margaret.
And Margaret sang little song
about the land the child was going
to very soon. At the second verse,
John Fosdykes voice joined hers,
and made it all the sweeter to the
child. for the mans heart made itself
felt in the words. As he sang. he
thought that here, on the threshold
of Heaven, almost. he was looking
forward, as if III y dream. to a great
happiness thai might come into his
life. 1t seemed almost wrong to
think of such thing, at such a time;

IN church tower near by began TO

raised himself in bed, and cried out:

they sound!' Then he sank down on

that he was in the presence of
death, and he barred his head rev.

but bowed silently and went out He
knew that her decision was one from
which there was no appeal. He &C.
copied it as such. His heart was
out of tune with the Christmas bells,
as he drove home alone along the
white streets.
