sentiment and Bueiness.

John Bull always proceeds on the theory
that business is business, and those people
in Canada who keep urging US to be gov
erned by sentiment in our commercial re
lations with Great Britain are effectively
answered by the news that comes at inter
walls from England. John Bull makes his
market free to trade because he thinks Al
pays him to do so. He gives colonial goods
no preference because he couldn DO IL
without taxing foreign goods and he does
creasng the price Of such goods to him
self For several years we have been prov
ing beyond a doubt that Canadian cattle
are healthy and need not be slaughtered IN
port but John Bull does not bulge an men
from his position. He considers the pres
cnt arrangement best for himself and au-
heres to it.
There is a great deal of English mail to
be carried to China and the far east; ana
although the Canadian Pacifc rallroad
across Canada affords an all-British liae
Of mail service most of the work is done
by way Of the Suez canal and now me
British postmaster general announces that
he is negotiating with Russia to have these
mails carried over the Trans-Siberian rail-
way. 1t is matter Of business and SEN
timent is not allowed to stand in the way
The main thing is to get the quickest pos
siHle mail service. and whether 1t is across
Siberia or Saskatchewan makes no differ
ence to that extremely prosperous and
matter-of-fact merchant, John Bull. Ana
he is quite right There is plenty of time
for sentiment after business hours, on me
appointed occasions. Canada, with an ex-
ceedingly shrewd tariff designed to benefit
herself as against all Corners, is in no pc

her climbing the pasture fence and
making for the woods she said to her
self:
our woods and the Dixon's woods
join and if leeks and maple sugar don't
get together, it won't be my fault"
Bessie reached the home woods and
began to look for leeks. Here and there
one was beginning to sprout. but she
passed them by and went farther BY
and by she came to the line fence di-
viding the farms. The leeks on the 9TH
er side looked bigger and, after q long
look between the rails, she climbed
over. Yes, the leeks We're bigger.
She had pulled three or four and was
still wandering along. when she pass
ed q brush-heap and a rabbit ran out
with a great rustic Naturally, she
screamed. The rustic of the rabbit was
followed by the boot Of an owl and
naturally the girl screamed again She
heard the sound Of footsteps near at
hand. and was about to scream for the
third time. when she heard the words:
Miss Taylor. do not be afraid.

In our weather predictions for the

We can't make out what ails the cow

that's the reason he makes for the WOODS
when we ride into his town.
The coroner of this town is rather too
strenuous He went out the other day
and found the hip bones of a horse and
tried to inquest them off on the county
for parts of the anatomy of human
being. When his bill of $26 was refused
payment he made a great kick and
threatened to resign. We believe that
a coroner should be privileged to pass

be a limit to the play on bones
