A BOYS SOLILOQUY.

love to read kid stories,
They're all so nice and good;
They tell of lovely children
Found by fairies in the wood.
The fairies give them castles,
And make them queens and kings;
Present them with gold chariots
And other splendid things.
These story kids are never bad;
They never sass their ma
They always do what they are told
They play no tricks on pa.

And also of "a pug-noscd girl
What CYCLES and is silly.
a story of common kid.
Like you find everywhere.
What doesn't like to wash his face
And hates to comb his hair.
A kid what husts his buttons off.
And never plays with toys,
But goes about a-raising scraps
With all the other boys.
A kid that likes to play base ball,
Rut amt much big at school;
a kid what all the neighhors call
"That smarty" or 'that fool
Now. il some story writer will
OF such n kid please write.
I'll buy his book and read it through
And call it out OF sight.

FROM WEST HAM TO CANADA.
Emigration Called in to Relieve London
of It's Suffering Poor
From the London Telegraph.

FROM the London Telegraph.
Last night saw the departure of the
fourth batch of families sent from East
London to Canada, under the scheme or
ganized in connection with the Telegraph
shilling fund for the starving poor of West
Ham. It was the largest party of emil
grants that has sailed so far. numbering
as it did fewer than forty-nine families
-230 in all. 1t may be noted that of the
go families emigratng from West Ham.
twenty-five have already landed in the
dominion, and thus early encouraging re-
ports have come to hand of the success Of
the project in the direction of securing en-
plOyment for those who have been able to
take advantage of it,
Practically, upon landing, the breadwin-
ners OF six out of the thirteen families
which left this country on January - were
placed in situations. while for the remain
der temporary work was found, pending
the provision of permanent berths. Apart
from other reasons. the confidence felt by
them to their future in the new country
enabled the emigrants whose departure
took place last night to set out on their
long journey with light hearts and cheerful
faces.
AS a matter of fact, thanks TO the system
adopted. the families going out in the pres
ent instance under the care of the Self-Help
Emigration Society-by whose agents in
Canada they will be looked after their
arrival there-are assured of work soon
as their voyage is ended. There is conclu-
sive evidence TO show that In the country
districts Ontario now wants labor badly,
owing largely to the fact that the younger
people have been tempted in great numbers
to the far west where better wages obtain
and, proportionately, it should not be for
gotten, a higher cost of living also.
