our Canadian Veterans.

It is estimated that 1000 Canadians
enlisted in Union regiments during
our Civil war. and until recently at
least the Toronto post, Grand Army of
the Republic, had a dozen members,
which may explain the fairly matter

American enlistments in their contin-

greatest war included $4,000 adven-

SAYINGS or A SOUR cYNIc

There are things that one never
does more than once--such as loving
an artistic" forgiving a woman and
meeting a Zeppelin bomb
They say mans love is short lived,
but it has never been conclusively
proved whether it is the mans nature
or woman's nature which is rcspon
sible
A hero of magazine story ia de
scribed as Sitting in the car as one
dazed, his fingers cropping blindly for
the clutch We suppose his feet were
numb, or perhaps he hadn't any.
1t is as hard for woman to under
stand how a man can leave off loving
her as it is for other women to under.
stand how he ever loved her at all.
Truth is stranger than fiction"
Perhaps that is why scandal is gen
orally SO much more interesting than
condolences"
One has to invest the whole interest
of ones mind and heart and body in
the business of living if one really
wants to make success of it.
People need know nothing as long
as they don't know they know nothing
for once they know nothing they get
to know something.
Love has so many components. II
is like beads threaded on the string Of
trust-break that end and all the
beads are scattered.
Everyone likes to be run after, but
the difference in the matter between
men and women is that. men don't
want to be caught and women do.

SOME OBSERVATIONS

A Fellow who makes New Years
resolutions and keeps them is the
kind of Chap who never amounts to
Much, anyhow.
A Fellow with a big Car can make a
Hit most anywhere--even if he is the
kind of Fellow who looks Funny with
his Hat off.
About the easiest Way for Girl to
fatter Fellow is to tell him that he's
the sort of Fellow that can't be Flat
tered.
A Fellow who wears Spectacles and
has long, flowing Hair, can stay out
all Night with the Boys and when he
turns up the next Morning People
think he has been up the Night Before

Rank Feelishness.

You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weather
That is rank foolishness. Were it
true colds would be as prevalent in
midsummer as in midwinter. The

Arithmetic.

No, Bobby, you are mistaken. Two
times three are six"
Tain't neither" protested Bobby
Two times three are five. and ii you'll

M'CLARYGRAMS

People want to be persuaded to buy
the things they want.
When in doubt, do the harder thing:
it is almost sure to be the right one.
The thoroughbred had no need to
boast of his pedigree; and no real
thoroughbred does it.
Warmth and sunshine give growth:
but after all it is the rain and storm
that give strength and endurance.
II all the merely unkind things we
say were the wisdom we perhaps
think them at the moment, what
wise world this would be!
Beware of becoming self-satisfied;
for though his capabilities might
carry him leagues farther, no man can
ever climb higher than the peak of his
own ambition.
The next best thing to being ALSO
lutely truthful is to be a sufficiently
adept liar; but circumstances have a
way of administering very rude awak-
enings to those who dream themselves
sufficiently adept.-McClary' Maya
