Speaking Of some alleged Canadian pro-
tests against the duke of Marlborough. be-
coming governor general Of the Dominion.
the protest being based on the fact that
the duke has an American wife, Sir Will
liam Van Horne Of Montreal says:
When you hear any bitter talk ex-
pressed on either side of the border, you
can safely lay odds Of 60 to l. that it ema-
mates from some entirely irresponsible
person with the brain Of an ass.
That is largely true. You know: what
We think of people who quarrel with their
neighbors.

A Reasoning Horse.-"Clever Hans"
a stallion belonging to Herr van Osten Of
Germany, has set the world talking by his
cleverness. He is an accomplished arith-
metician, and there is no joke in the
assertion. either Here is what DR.. Helm
roth of the Berlin Geological garden says,

charge of trickery is groundless. The
statements come from the Illustriete Zei-
tung, as copied by the Scientific Amer-
can: - ..-.- ..--

The answer came almost immedia tely. Sums
such as r. IA are correctly given. The actual
words Tin Germany "What Is the difference be-
tween 43 and 6?'' were read and the answers i'm
mediately paved No numerals appeared on the
blackboard Surely, this is more than the trick
cry of training. 1t should here be mentioned
that questions can be put by any bystander.
Hans is able to convert common fractions into
decimal fractions. He can also tell time by the
clock. If he is asked, cit is now 40 minutes
after 12 how many minutes will elapse before

strokes Of his hoof These are simply a few

but oil, which is, Of course. just as good
as money. Some surprise is expressed In
uninformed quarters that great corpora
ton would stoop to a little meanness like
Treats for the Shut-ins.

Thru the liberality of Sam s. Shu-
bert, one of the most remarkable sue
cesses in the amusement world, Q
J Journal is able to announce today a
series of entertainments at charity,
institutions which we are sure will
bring happiness and pleasure to many
children and other inmates.
Sam s. Shubert is only 81 years old,
but during the last seven years, since
he began his career in the amusement
business, he has come to the front and
reached the top by virtue Of his energy
and ability, SO that he is able to present
to the public several of the most nlerito-
rious attractions now in existence.
The first entertainment will be at the
orphan asylums and will be followed by
others at these institutions and others
during the winter. 1t. is expected
that arrangements, similar to Those
made with Mr.. Shubert's companies will
be made with other organizations, musi-
cal, dramatic and otherwise, during the
amusement season. @%ISs IS 81
