The position Of the government is that
1t cannot put the and shillings clause
into the bill without creating a precedent
that would be quoted by every trades
union in the country as justiiying that
their own wages should be fixed at then
own figure by parliament. The ministers
are divided on the subject, but the ma
jority, supported by a majority of the
Liberals and all the Unionists, are reso
lutte against creating such precedent.
The miners are equally firm in refusing
TO return TO work unless they are guar
anteed 5 shillings for adults and foI
boys in the bill or by an agreement with
the mine owners. They say that they
have already given in on the major ques
lions of the hewers' wages and claim
that the owners should give way in
their turn on the S shillings minimum.
The mine owners reply that while
many mines can afford to pay shillings
and shillings, there are Others that
cannot. They refuse. therefore, to yield

q TOPICAL FABLE,

The Chinese empire, now in a state
Of chaos, is, according to Mr. Ian G
Hannah, little more than a gigantic
bit of bluff. 1t looks very big and
terrible, but in reality it is al outward
show, and the great empire is at the
mercy of its first determined oppo-
nent. In his book on Eastern Asia .
Mr.. Hannah compares it to the donkey
in the ancient fable.
A monkey, the fable runs, was cap
tured by a tiger
"Oh, spare mel" cried the monkey
Il am thin and my flesh does not
taste good. Bnt | know where there
is a fine, fat donkey"
The tiger consented TO spare the
monkeys life on condition that he lead
him to where the donkey was tied
When the donkey saw them coming
he was terribly frightened, but he
tried to appear calm and bawled in a
masterful tone
Monkey, you used to bring me two
tigers Why only one today"
; The tiger did a record hustle back
to the jungle.

Make Rain Your Choice
By Beatrice Fairfax

one were always on the point of taking
bitter pill.
The spirits are affected and the
health suffers, and when the health suf
fers there is a lack of luster in the eyes
and the cheeks grow pale, and I have
known girls to complain so much that
this pallor became a saffron hue.
Every one shuns girls like these, for
through so much complaining they not
only forget how to laugh but they
check the laughter in others.
And finally they become friendless.
And there never was worse fate than
to become friendless,
And all of this tragedy originated in
failure to learn the greatest lesson to
be learned in life and that lesson, my
dears, is just this:
