whisky.
The royal commission isn't just sure
whether it should recognize DR.. Wiley
and the United States law or not. In
this country it is held that a mixture
of pure whisky with neutral spirits,
with or without coloring or fiavoring
matter, mus. not be labeled either
straight whisky or a blend of WHISTLES.
Now, in England as in this country in
the past, the mixture of whisky with
neutral spirits has always been labeled
a blend. In England they still assume
that such a mixture is a blend, and
name it accordingly.
But it is pointed out that if the royal
commission shall sustain the estab-
lished English practice, the definition of
whisky in England viii be entirely diff
ferent from the definition in the United
States. The United States is the
whisky capital of the world; England
in the whisky business is very small

But more. It appears that England
sells quite a bit of whisky to this
country. There is fear that if they
adopt a different definition for the
stuff, their whisky will be entirely shut
out of the United States. The situa-
ton is giving considerable worry to
some of the authorities on the other
side. It will give more when they
know Dr. Wiley as we'll as his admirers
and others-on this side Of the pond

the trust sends such talent as it
chooses.
The present danger is not unavOid-

OF the booking of performers.
AS matter OF fact, the company
represent has facilities for securing the

The debate which has been going on

to what is whisky and what is not
whisky; when whisky is whisky
and when it isn't whisky, has

set a Royal Commission on Whisky

SEEN FROM SEVERAL SIDES.

This appeals to me as a very
serious subject. A wife to pick her
husbands pockets with the idea of
searching to see what she is going
to find, shows a very suspicious ma
ture.
1t Is a wife's duty to look after
her husbands pockets and to keep
them in perfect condition and to re-
lieve them Of whatever she thinks
best, unless her husband expresses
a wish for her not to do so.
If man and wife are congenial
he will never object t. her going
through his pockets. for he has
nothing to hide, nothing he would
be unwilling for her to have, and
he also thinks too highly of her to
think she would stoop so low as to
pick his pockets.
OF course we all know there Is
nothing in the marriage ceremony
that either adds or subtracts the
right from a wife to search her hus-
bands pockets, II she has a mind to
do so, whether she has a good
cause or not, and It is q subject
that must be settled between them
selves.

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
DONKEYS FOR CHILDREN.

b~H~e HE little donkey cart, as 1t 10
trundled along the white beach,
attracted much attention. I'M
der their red silk p%arasols the ladies IN
white looked at the small gray donkey
and smiled. The gentlemen, raising
their eyes from their novels, patted the
small and dainty animal asst passed.
"That donkey cost a hundred" said
a veterinary surgeon. ut Is q very
fine specimen. What / want to know
is. why are not cheap donkeys bred
here In America the same as abroad
Then every child, at an expense OF 50
or so, might have a donkey no digger
than a Newfoundland dog.
London is full of donkeys. The cos
ters use them. Every tiny huckster cart
is drawn by a tiny gray donkey. the
animals are bred in Ireland and IN
wales, and 1t is possible to buy little
ones for four, five, seven dollars, and
so on up to a hundred or more for the
fancy grades.
''The donkey is docile, intelligent, in
dustrious. moral. H never runs away,
He never loses his temper. He is an
IDEAL pet for children, and, IL he were
bred here, he would be within the reach
of nearly all.
Think how nice 1t would be If you
could do here what YOU can do in Eng
land-give a child a nice little donkey
that costs only five dollars.
