A Young
Man

By Jeanne Olive Loiseat4~

When young man has been in love
for a year, when he has been blushing-
ly told to TASK papa" when he has
asked for an interview that he may
do that same, when he has no reason
to believe that papa" favors him,
when the moment for that interview
is at hand-well! That young man
would rather charge up San Juan hill
five times than knock at the library
door and face the within. But for the
girl bracing him he might leave the
house bareheaded.
Harrison Forrest, twenty-three years
old, late of Harvard, athletic, baseball,
swimming some thoughts of law, good
family, good fellow and intending to
settle down and leave wild oats be-

Miss Prue Wilson, twenty, daughter
of Banker Wilson, very much in love,

Mr.. Forrest knocks at the library

A New Ireland.

There is now new Ireland-an Ire
land which is practically unknown to
the vast majority of the Irish race in
America. This new Ireland has been
created mainly by the recent land
acts, although there are other causes
social. economic, as we'll as legisla-
tive-which are silently but surely at
work in the refrigeration Of the un'
happy Erin of old. Intelligent and
fair-minded Irish-Americans who have
within the last five or six years visited
the "old country" after long inter
val. see this wonderful change for the
better. and freely acknowledge it,

It is time to call halt ON the

selling supposed lot in the city of
Waterloo. There can be no objection
raised to the selling of lots or the

with the Eastholme addition project,
which was exploited in the Reporter

issued implies at least that the lots
offered on the side for sale are To-

age, the easy relapse into chaotic

PRESIDENT TAFT STANDING PAT
FOR CANADIAN RECIPROCITY,

A few days ago the President as
sured w. P. Hull, master OF the
Michigan State Grange, that Canad-
ian reciprocity would not injure Am
erican farmers, but ON the contrary
would benefit them, and with them
the merchants, laborers and all 9TH
er classes Of our citizenship. He
boldly declared that he was unalter-
ably opposed to an artificial tariff
barrier between this country and
Canada, and that he did not care
what the effect might be upon his
own political fortunes.
If Mr.. Hull expected to change
the views of the President, by tell
ing him what the Grange would d.
to him if he did not reverse himself
he slgnally failed in his expecta
tions.

To use books rightly is to go to
them for help; to appeal to them

united sentence of the judges and
councils of all time. against our sol
itary and unstable opinions.-Ruskin
