need in life, of course, is concentra-

to work injury. We may look so long
at single object as to be unable to
see anything else; the retina refuses
to give up its object at our command.
SO then on the Grand Trunk of life,
to relieve the tension, break up the
monotony and to call other soul forces
into action, it is well to get a stop over
check once in a while to look at sother

CONSTABLE LAMBERT
DISCOVERED THE CAUSE
Marine Bill Is What Hurt Laurier
Party-canadian Want Reciprocity.


In the opinion of Constable Gus
Lambert's brother Joseph Lambert,
who is mayor of st. Jean de Matha.
P. O. it was the marine bill and not
reciprocity that killed the Laurier
party IN Canada. The Canadians want
reciprocity with the United States on
raw materials, but not on manufac-
tured products, and they would not
support the Iaurier government whose
naval programme was TO secure twelve
warships for the Canadian navy.
Constable Lambert returned on the
noon train Wednesday on the Central
Vermont from Quebec, after a trip Of
two weeks in Canada, and gave this
as an inside version of the killing of
reciprocity by the Canadians. Con
stable Lambert's brother is evidently
a politician to some effect. as he has
been mayor of his town for eleven
years, is head of the mayors associa-
ton of the county and the owner Of
a bank He is posted on Canadian
politics and so explained the situation
on reciprocity.
Constable Lambert visited his old
friend, Louis Cyr the world famous
strong man, spending four days there,
then went on to his old homestead at
St. Guillaume, and finished up his trip
with some time at Montreal and Que
bee, where he enjoyed The Mardi Gras
sports and racing. He also visited his
son, George, 10 years old, who is in
school at st. Hyacinthe at the Sacred
Heart college.
