COLONIAL PREhIERS

LONDON, Nav 4-The man in the
street who has been applauding the
colonial premiers. little dreams Of the
disgust felt by those gentlemen from
far away at the old-fashioned red tape
methods OF the colonial Office.
Just before one Of the many confer
ences DR.. Jameson and Mr.. Smart, one
of the New Zealand ministers, made
some perfectly simple suggestion to Lord
Elgin, a suggestion which might have
facilitated the routine Of business.
Lord Elgin pulled his beard. hummed
and hawed. and remarked: 7 must see
the prime minister about it in a day OF
two I don't think it's quite the correct
way TO d. it
This was too much for Mr.. Smart
who 2ngTily exclaimed: Good Lord :
If we only had Americans to deal with.
the thing would have been settled right
away"
Mr.. Smart's exclamation reflects the
opinion Of all the colonials. who look
upon the present radical cabinet as the
most conservative and behind the times

GONDOLAS VANISHING
FROM VENICE CANALS

VENICE, May 4>-Visitors cannot but
be struck by the gradual disappearance
OF that picturesque element of former
times. the EOndolier. It has been noted
for some time that they are becoming
less and less used by the Venetian
mobiles. and that in their stead motor
and petroleum boats are being used.
which, II less poetical. are decidedly
more practical and much quicker.
The gondCliers have already protested
against these motor boats, which
swamp their boats and smell so evlily.
but without result. The motor boats
have come to stay. and it is the old
black-paintcd gondolas. which have been
in use ever since the fourteenth century.
that Will have to go, and soon-too soon
the poetical town of Venice will have
no gondoliers. At the present time it
is mostly the strangers who employ
them, but the season in Venice for for
eigners is too short for the gondolIers
to earn enough to keep themselves all
the year around.

mothers left.
few hours afterWard one of the
women returned in tears and stated that
she had given birth to a boy, but the
nurse had handed back to her a eirI
and she now insisted she must have her
boy.
The woman's statement caused a great
commouon, as the other mother had left
no address There was nothing to do
but await developments and the mother
OF the boy refused 10 leave until her
rightful child had been restored to her
Toward midnight the other mother ar
rived greatly excited and demanded her
ba by girl instead OF the boy she had re-
ceiVed- A change was effected and both
