CANADA WOULD PART
TARIFF AND POLITICS
Investigation by Permanent
Commission Expected To
Work Benefits.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 3.--While no
official announcement has as yet been
made. it is generally understood here
that the first session of the new par
lament of Canada will be called for
Nov. Is. The ceremonies promise to
be of exceptional brilliancy. There Is
not only the added interest from the
advent of a new government and
new house of commons, but also the
great social eclat attributable te-the
presence of royalty.
The duration of the session and the
extent and character of the business
TO be presented TO parliament are
wholly problematical. That supply
and routine will be put through and
propagation take place in compare
lively short order is believed by many
who figure on the probability OF sec
ond session beginning in February
next. The matter has not been dis
cussed very seriously, but II Is gen.
orally agreed that at the outset there
will be no extensive branching out
on constructive legislation, even IL
the session should not be brief one.
One OF the first tasks which Mr.
Borden is likely TO take up, after OBJ
tanning supply and transacting the
necessary work OF administration Is
the establishment Of permanent tar
iff commission That the tariff viii

subject Of investigation by special

a leading plank in Mr.. Borden's plat
form. He made this proposal as an
Offset to the appeal that the Liberals

taking the tariff out OF politics.
Thus q permanent commission TO in
yestigate tariff conditions has been
put before the people as step to-

for the premier to carry out the be-
hest OF the electors and to satisfy
somewhat the advocates OF both high

slowly has been regaining his
strength. The doctors. by the opera

Or. Arthur H. Sewing, resident ply
stefan, diagnosed the case as aphasia

on TO restore the mans speech. At

John! John Shaferl"
The boy had changed shut the gate
and was turning into the narrow high
way when he heard the woman call
ing him. He waited. Presently she
reached the fence opposite, breathing
heavily.
She's gone" he said, briefly. His
voice was blunt and hoarse. He did
not look at her.
Well well!" said Mrs. Martin. A
sudden solemnity fastened upon her
little figure. Her eyes sought the
house behind him. 1t was a square
house, cut out black and sharp
against the fare of orange in the west
The few apple trees struggling around
it crooked forward keenly, bough by
bough, in the clear evening light.
'Tm going down to see about
things"
The woman opened her gate and
pushed across to where he stood. Did
they-did they make up?" she said,
almost in a whisper.
Yes"
We'll, well, your mothers gone"
she said. I'm sorry; I'm sorry, John" ="
The words sounded high and broken
in the wind that was pouring down
the highway.
Il" quavered the boy. His face
worked For moment he looked like
a little, thin, distressed child. The
next he had pushed past her and with
hard strides was going down the gray
road.
Mrs. Martin reached her gate.
Adam ADAM" she called.
The kitchen window went up with
a creaking noise.
What you want, Clarissy?"
She loked up breathlessly at the ell
derly face bent towards her.
She's gone, Adam. Poor Henrietty
Shafer's gone at last"
Il thought it likely His slow
glance settled upon her where she
stood on the edge of the yard in the
wind and the dusk. You better come
in out of the cold"
Il amt coming in. I'm going over
and see if they want me- When it
comes time to eat you eat"
You got anything else to tell me?"
She drew nearer the window, a
small, quick, vivid figure, with gray
hair and wide, bright eyes. Adam,
her and Andy made up before she
died"
The man leaned farther out into the
paling light That so, Clarissy?"
She was already half way down the
path before she answered him. Yes.

the wind.
Adam drew his head in and pulled
down the sash.
An hour passed. 1t was dark in
the kitchen except for a small half
circle of delicate, waving light that
the fire cast upon the walls and cell
ing. In this circle sat Adam smok-
