the final burden from my aching

pie cinch! What can l do for

unanimous pose assumed as I
begged the Colonel not to men,

''Why, George" l said reassur-
ingly, this sort of thing is pie
for me-a mere bubbling over of
natural genius. Come to me at
any old time you feel the need Of
buckling up on trifling problems
of this sort. Don't stop to knock,

proach your own father and de-
pend upon my consideration and
support. Between us we will
make a great success of this job
and you shall have all the credit.
For my part l am already paying
excess baggage rates on my med
al trunk, and there's plenty room
for others at the top of the heap"
We left the Colonel in a condi-
ton of partial stupefaction. Our
innate modesty seemed well nigh
incomprehensible to him.
Fortified as he now is by our
trifling suggestions and assur-
ances of furture counsel, We feel
justified in assuring the general
public that the Canal project is
in perfectly safe hands with Col.

accord an interview to Colonel

realizing. as he does, the extent
and urgency of our engagements.

1t would seem that he rather

assurances to the effect that, in
many respects. we could have
done no better ourselves seemed
to afford him instant relief and it

The Youth of the Cabinet.

In Europe kings and ministers have
shown such longevity that IT has been
said the world was governed by old
men. In striking contrast is the
average age of about 50 of the new
cabinet at Washington. the president
himself being close to the year which
is sometimes spoken of as being the
prime of intellectual life although old
for athletes. When the present Brit
ish cabinet was reconstructed at the
death of Campbell Bannerman five
members retired at the average of 90,
and five succeeded at the average of
about 40 making the average under
- for the cabinet as reconstructed.
This compares with the average for
the Canadian cabinet of 81. There
were 10 British ministers under 80 and
only three Canadian. There was no
Canadian under 40. whereas there We're
two in the British cabinet in the
thirties.

of all presidents, his cabinet was old
