slightly stunned, but otherwise I'M
hurt, although the force of the blow
left a spot on his cheek.
1t was perhaps the stormiest ses-
sion the house has ever known. From
the moment the premier made his
motion to rescind the vote, the up
roar continued almost unintterrupt-
eddy. Liberal speakers were shouted
down by the Unionists. Premier Az

several members were ordered from
the house when the supplementary

The galleries were crowded when
the premier arose to introduce his

The rnionists were hopeful that
the speaker would declare the pre-

speaker. Mr.. James Lcwther, how
ever. while admitting that the pre-
mier's motion was unprecedented, rul-

his seat and moved an amendment

an affront to the house of commons.

goods you are taxing chances. The
only reason some goods are cheap
is because they are not worth

WE sell nothing that we cannot

WE buy our goods from those man
