AT THE ARCADE.

The beginning of each new week thus
far this season has been about alike as
20 attendance in the several divisions
OF the Arcade. although the weather
makes slight difference in some. but
as a whole the gross attendance has
been far in excess OF last year up TO
this date The attendance in this branch
OF the so-called amusement palace" is
far ahead thus far over last season. the
popularity OF roller skating seemingly on
the increase.

When II comes to framing up list
Of members who have reached Congress
bv odd means, Richard E. Connell, OF
P'kipsie. n. Y, should be found batting
in the first division.
Conneli had made a campaign for Con-
gress once or twice before without things
breaking just right for him. and this
last time he might or might not have
been elected except for one thing.
He and State Senator Roosevelt nephew
of T, were going about together on their
speaking tour in an automobile-or motor,
as society people dote on calling II. They
struck one little town just as the chill
dren had been released from school.
Slow up here" SAYS Connell to Roose-
Welt. who was driving: I'm a-goin' to
make a speech"
.sTo whom?' asked Roosevelt.
THESE school kids" replied Connen.
"Aw, come out of il. You'll be too old
to run for Congress by the time they
vote
But ConneIl had his way. and he got
up on the seat of the auto and talked
TO the youngsters about the great coun-
try they live in. He told them that every
boy or girl in the bunch, regardless OF
freckles or color of hair, had chance
to live In the White House some day.
And whenever one of you gets out in
the world and makes good. he said. Just
remember that a Democratic candidate
for Congress came along and reminded
YOU that you live in a land OF oppor-
tunity. never had any better start than
the poorest boy among you. but unless
your parents all vote against me shall
soon be a member of our national Con-
gress at Washington"
And every one Of the kids went home
that noon talking about the fellow who
was running for Congress. Fathers who
didn't even know who the Democratic
candidate was, got interested. especially
when the youngsters kept asking every
day il he was going to be elected.
The same thing happened in other
towns, for Connell arranged to be on
hand when school let OUT wherever
he went after that.
AS his plurality was only about 500.
Connell shudders at the thought Of what
would have happened u he had not
CHANGED on those school kids and then
and there Matched his happy hunch.

those sad-eyed souls who have started

Secession in Canada.

Great interest has been aroused

declaration of member of the Mani

attitude OF the Manitoba legislator was
The result of the vote in Canada last
year on the reciprocity treaty, which
was defeated by the votes of the eastern
provinces, which the Manitoba member
declared they neither understood nor
could profit from.
Because OF this vote of the eastern
provinces the people of Western Can

relations which are unsatisfactory, but
