A story comes from the west that
is good enough to be true. In the
autumn of 1901, when the royal tour
lists, then known as the dRke and
duchess of York, were passing tri-
umphantly through a loyal dominion,
they came to small town not far
from the Rocky mountains, of which
Alexander Guthrie was mayor. or the
mayor and his wife, be it Remarked in
the words of MIS-. Jean Blewett, he
was Scotch and SO was She" There
was a change in the plans Of the royal
party, and the mayor received word
that they would arrive at 10 O'Clock
on Monday morning, instead of four
hours later. Sunday afternoon was a
period of excitement. The mayor sur
veyed his 'Sunday suit" with feelings
of pride and anxiety, and assured his
wife Margaret that her black silk
would be the proper garb for the &C.
casion. He arose betimes and saw
that the station platform was properly
decorated But what was his horror
to discover after 6 o'clock that Mar
garet was out in the back yard bend
ing over a washtub and prespiring
with honest toll.

Few Timepieces in Liberia

A young negro from Liberia, George
H. Northam, is now visiting this coun-
try, from which his parents emigrated
to the negro republic many years ago,
spoke of an interesting phase of the
trade in Liberia.
1T is a curious fact that we buy
very few clocks. They are regarded,
I know, as an essential part Of the
furnishings of the home in all civilized
countries. The comparatively small
number of our people who have fairly
good incomes have clocks in their
houses. But most Of the Liberians
are farmers and laborers, and they
never think Of purchasing a clock.
The fact is, they have little use for
clocks, and think the reason will
interest you.
You, know, our country is only a
few degrees north of the equator. The
result is that for good partSof the
year the sun rises at exactly O'clock,
or within a few minutes Of it, and sets
at o'clock. Here are two points of
time quite accurately fixed for us.
Then when the sun is directly
overhead it is noon. Of course, the
sun in it's apparent movements be-
tween the tropics of Cancer and Capri

Traitors among the Japanese ohcers

Il do not suppose there is a man

the time in any part Of the day with

most on the minute. Our farmers say
they have not the slightest use for

country with any hclaim to civilization
that does net regard clocks as neces-
sary in the business Of life.

Free State the missionaries teach the
natives to read the information that a
clock gives. This is very we'll as a
matter of information, but the natives
understand the relation of the sun to
the time Of day as we'll as we do, and
I do not think large number OF
clocks will ever be sold to them.
