which number was the most at
tractiye but we have no criticisms
for any of them, but the sketch
by Prof. Johnson, Miss Hazel

the cleverest Of all. The young

vim and talent into their charac

were more at ease on the

continuous round of pleasure for
some time to come.

Union of Canada and Newfoundland

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The visit of the Duke of Connaught as
-overnor general of Canada to England
eldest crown colony, that of Newfound-
land has revived the discussion of pos
sible union with the Dominion. and
called to the attention of many persons
fact of which they had been ignorant.
that the island is not politically part
of Canada
Local jealousy is likely to stand in the
way of the proposed union for many
years 10 come The least suspicion OF
that heresy at present is fatal to the
chances of election of any candidate
for public office. The Newfoundlanders
proudly point to the growing value OF
fisheries. mines. pulp mills and even
agriculture as evidence of the insular
self-sufticiency. What would they have
to gain by the alliance. except an M
crease of taxation and an augmented
imperial responsibility? They consider
themselves well off they are. They
are loyal to the crown. But they are
proud of their independent colonial
status In no part of the king
dominions are political issues argued
with more vehemence and aspirants for
elective Office compelled to undergo a
franker Interrogation. The Duke of
Connaught was made more than well
come as a representative of royalty. No
doubt even In the acceptance of private
hospitality. he sagely refrained from
any compromising utterance as TO the
possible union.

Freak Yachts.

From the Springfield Republican.
An unpleasant feature of great yacht
races is the atmosphere of suspicion and
recrimination which prevails almost from
the time a challenge is issued the fear
on each side being that the other may
win unfairly by using a trick. In the
case of the America cup races neither
side has monopoly-the famous schoon-
er America was accused of winning by
some secret motive power; motors were
unknown in those days. but Yankees

that freak with a scOw stern and
monstrous fin and tumble-home fitting
her to sail on one edge like an ceboat.

June bugs. of course, belong to June.
They are foolish bugs, with merely
a modicum of bug intelligence. They
