meeting that there are 1,274697 men
between the ages Of 10 and 80 in
Canada who could be compelled to en-
list, and it was urged that the govern
ment adopt some plan to bring these
men into service.
The general plan of the Hamilton
recruiting league was indorsed, but
there were differences of opinion re-
garding some of the details. This plan
provides for the taking of census OF
all men in Canada above the age of

The Rose and It's Thorns.

This is the old legend Of how the
rose came by its thornS: One day in
paradise Cupid was flying over II gar

beautiful pink rose. Cupid bent TO kiss
it when a bee hidden in the flower
Siuns him on the lip. Crying with
pain, cupid fled TO Venus, his mother

captive bees and set the stem of tho
rose with stings torn from the poor
bees. These stings now are called
thorns.
