lt was on the following evening that
Frederick Allison suddenly turned to
his wife, after dinner, saying:
"Oh, Juliet, I want to show you a
fob that | bought for myself today. It's
just the thing I've been wanting for a
long time"
Juliet's enthusiasm over It was much
forced, as her husband might easily
have seen, and perhaps did see. After
they had dropped the subject she hap
pened to glance at his scarfpin and q
now joy sprang up within her. She
would get him a scarfpin for Christ
mas, for hi5 old one was rather out of
style and never had been On expensive
one, anyway.
"By tho way, DEAR said Allison the
next evening, "I bought something to-

-1a tissue paper package which he
b.led out of his yes. pocket. She pre-
tended, wien a brave heart, TO think it
was very pretty, but She fancied that
she could have made q better selection
II he had only permitted her to have
the chance.
At .ae Office Allison had told the
boys OF the splendid plan he had hit
upon for the purpose of keeping his
wife from buying impossible things in
the shape Of Christmas presents for
him, and it was with great satisfaction
that he reported day after day how he
was progressing.
Christmas was only n week away
and Juliet Icy awake a long time
that night trying to think what present
she could get for her husband. There
were the new books, but he had in
formed her that he didn't want books.
They had all the STANDARD works in the
library, and he never read any Of the
modern novels. All, a happy thought

TO HONOR FATHER AT LAST
Movement Under Way 10 Place Neg
lected Parent on Pedestal and
Stre~ Roses at His Feet

Al last poor old father is to have his
day. For these many moons we have
been singing the praises OF mother
and deservedly-and telling of what a
dreary world It would be without her,
and all the while father has been
standing around as unnoticed and as
neglected as the bridegroom at the
wedding. He has been looked upon, or
rather tolerated. as a necessary evil.
Indeed, he has been spoken OF. In some
quarters at least, In terms OF reproach
and derision. We all remember the
beautiful ballad which blatantly called
attention to the fact that everybody
toiled but poor old dad The refrain
OF that song was taken up everywhere.
and the enthusiasm with which II was
sung by all sorts and conditions OF
people would lead one to suspect that
the author had made a remarkable dis.
covery. which he was only too glad to
share with the world.
Now all this Is to be changed and
dad Is to be placed on a pedestal and
MOVERS laid at his unworthy feet and
verses recited in his honor. Tho red
rose has been selected as An appropri-
ate emblem for father, and on one day
In the year everybody-or nearly ev.
to wear that flower in or.
der TO let the world know that. In
spite Of all his faults, they dearly love
he old man. This Just and proper
recognition has been long while in
coming, but now that 1t is at hand
here seems to be disposition to do
with a whole-heartedness that will
tone for past neglect. The only one
Who will not quite understand It will
~ dear old dad himself. He will do as
q is told, Of course, but we venture to
ay that the movement is going to
lake father scratch his head in won
er, If not in delight.

OF fire or serious conflagration hap

Thirty seconds was the time occu-

magistrates in hearing a case. A man
was charged with being drunk, but it
was explained that he had taken his
passage to Canada, and had only ten
minutes in which to catch his train
for Liverpool. In a shade less than
half a minute the prisoner had been
lined, had paid the money, and had
.eft the court room at a run.
