sUNFLoWER PHILOSOPHY.

People like abuse, so long as they
are not abused.
Without wishing to insinuate any
thing. it may be said that a good many
bashful men get married.
There is only one favorable thing to
be said of eating with your knife; as
yet, there is no law against it.
While there is no law on the sub
ject, the women do not expect a
widower to marry again until his chill

Canadian border particularly in the
vicinity of Buffalo, Tonawanda, Mag
ara Falls and Toronto, where much of
the fighting took place in the war of
1912, but where international feeling
today, as the result of a century of
close relationship between the citizens
of both countries, is of the most fra
ternal kind.
The details of the commemoration
have not been fully worked out but
the general object is worthy of the
encouragement of press and public.
1t is to be hoped that the celebration
will engage the attention of the peo-
pie of both countries; that it will bind
more closely together the neighbors
on opposite sides of the border, and
stimulate the spirit of operation
which shall not only guarantee peace

suggestions for peace celebration he
proposed that whatever features We're

peace and fraternity that was to be
