IN 1905, the province of Manitoba was thrown
into a turmoil over what came to be known
as the Manitoba Schools Question, the French
speaking population being sharply arrayed
against both the English speaking Inhabitants
and the Government. The French Province
of Quebec took up the cause OF the Manitoba
French and, peculiarly crippled as the Gov
eminent was by the recent deaths of Sir John
A. Macdonald and Sir John Thompson, this
question of the Manitoba schools threatened
to convulse the entire country and array the
French Canadians everywhere permanently

A doctor was n day stopped In the

whose malady was purely imaginary.
The doctor, who was known for his
intolerance of and nonsympathy with
such invalids, after listening some
what impatiently to the woman's de-
tailed account of all her feelings and
symptoms, told her to shut her eyes
and put out her tongue. She prompt
ly did so. On opening her eyes in a
few seconds the doctor was nowhere
to be seen. and the woman awoke to
the fact that he had left Der standing
by herself in a busy th~oroughfare with
her eyes shut and her tongue hanging
out.
