ance.

my wife for an extra clothesline three
Or four years ago. l read occasionally
of rope saving somebody from a

But you don't want to be burned

"Of course not, but if l can't get
down by the stairs or the iron fire
escape I'll take my chances on a mat

But what's the matter with a knot

Il didn't think anything was the

The trick was tried by three others

they were badly shaken up and tongue

"Anglo-Saxon English."

There is an old fallacy that Anglo
Saxon words are the best. The fallacy
is based on the belief that words Of
Anglo-Saxon origin are more simple
and vigorous than those derived from
Latin. In point Of fact. some Anglo
Saxon words are obscure and long, and
many Of our commonest, most simple
words are from the Latin. The Lon
don News tells story in point.
A barrister more remarkable for the
vigor of his address to juries than for
his learning was commenting on the
proceeding of the other party in a case
under trial.
Il do not know what gloss my
learned friend is going to put upon this
matter. but l will not mince my words

falls are given in Lescarbot's record OF
the second voyage of Jacques Cartier,
in the year 1875. On the maps pub
lished to illustrate Champlains discov-
cries date of maps either 1913 or 1919
the falls are indicated by cross, but
no description of the wonderful cata-
ract is given, and the best geograph-
ical authorities living today doubt if
the explorer mentioned ever saw the
falls, Brinton's work to the contrary
notwithstanding. Father Hennepin is
believed to have written the first de.
scription of the falls that was ever
penned by one who had personally Wis
tied the spot.

The EARLY Cathlrd

At 4 o'clock the catbirds have it all
to themselves, and they will not only

sounds and melodies they have heard.
My nearest neighbor. who builds in the
Tartarian honeysuckle, comes near to
me with evident comprehension Of my
admiration and undertakes to tell me
that he is not like other birds, but
understands human folk. He jumps
about the limbs near to me and with
whistle calls back and forth, envying
his musical ability and he possibly
wondering somewhat about my books
and my balconies. should be very
lonely in the country without the cat
bird. He only has the power of COM
partnership with us.-Independent.
