afterward. the rural editor I was
working for was constrained, owing
to almost universal noninterference
on the part of the reading and bust

to discontinue the publication Of his
newspaper. and I was thrown out Of
a job
THE office owed me SIS. All the
money that was due the Office was
just that amount It was owed by a
marble cutter, and he was perfectly
good for it. l asked the editor to
give me an order on the marble cutter

was payable in trade. He was saving

the editor of the poor comfort OF

ConcerninQ the Year 1915.

Major Gastrell's speech in the com.
mons, in which he dwelt on the con-
catenation of events that might lend
significance to the year 1915 as rea-
son for adopting the policy of an inn
perial loan for securing our future ma
val strength, has attracted good
deal of attention. Major Gastrell
pointed out that in that year our ex-
listing alliance with Japan expires:
that the Panama canal would be COM
pleted; that the Kaiser Wilhelm canal
would be widened so that dread
nougts could pass easily from the Bal
tic to the North sea, and that the minor
powers of the Triple alliance would

each have squadrons in the Mediter-
ranean. Mr.. McKenna on the same
day gave 1915 as the outside date at
which the government hoped that the
Rosyth works would be completed

Surely the Best.

An old friend of COL William Swear.
er, who made a fortune as a con-
tractor and has retired, likes to dis
cuss politics, though he has been long
out of the game The other day he
was lamenting the passing of the
good old days, contending there was
nothing worth while in politics now.
There's no good in it," he de-
clared. Tell me, Bill, tell me what is
the best lay today"
Well" said the colonel. Il can only
answer that by telling the story of the
three little girls. First the curates
little daughter said proudly:
my hen has laid an egg.
my hen has laid two spoke up
the wears little girl.
"'That's nothing cried the bish-
ops little girl, my father has laid
foundation stone."
