It is a common theory that every
nan should own his own home, but
home ownership has its advantages
and its disadvantages.
The man who owns a home Is put
at a disadvantage when an oppor-
tunity presents itself. He has a piece
of property on his hands which he
will very likely be obliged to sacri-
fee, Often he annot afford the loss,
and so he valves his opportunity.
This is particularly the case with
the workman on q wage.
Having put his savings into a house
he feels he must stay with them.
Sometimes he may be able to sell his
house at no less, or even q small
profit, but. generally. a loss has to be
taken. Tied down to a house in which
he has put his earnings, he is more or
less bereft OF his independence.
The student OF the housing ques-
ton cannot ignore the forms of CO.
operative ownership worked gu sue
cessfully in other countries.
Under many of these the ownership
of q home is represented by shares or
stock in a community owned in COM
mon by those who live in it. The
holder of the stock being entitled to
the tenancy and use of his house and
land as long as he lives and pays his
taxes. and, being also able to leave
the tenancy of the property to his
chosen heirs, has all h a ownership
implies. On the other hand, II he
wishes to leave. he has no difficulty
in disposing of his shares of stock at

Lake McInkc Says.

The girl who marrieS a man because
she feels sorry for him is likely to
spend the rest OF her time feeling sor-
ry for herself.
Any married woman can tell You
that her husband is the only man in
the world who doesn't Understand her.
Well. you have to give the girls
credit for one thing. You do not have
to pay your way into a Burleycue
Show when you want to see legs
One of the ~strangest things in the
world is how a Corn Fed girls food
seems to make her fatter and how a
skinny girls food seems to make her
thinner.
A woman has more sense than a
man. A man tries to argue another
man into his way of thinking. but a
woman cries a man into her way of
thinking.
A suffering man is sensitive and
hasn't much to say. But we doubt IL a
little speech inpediment like stutter-
ing could keep a woman's, mouth
closed.
The trouble with being polite is that
IL you are decent enough to laugh at
the bum poke a man tells o he will
follow 1t up with a dozen more worse
jokes.
Funny how n girl who knows she
isn't well enough built to e a bath
ing suit imagines that she looks all
right in the high skirts other girls are
wearing.
The average man knows that there
is no harm I'm knocking you when YOU
are alive because no intends to speak

TODAY We Celebrate
Anniversary OF the End of the ere
public'' of Canada.

Anniversary OF the End of the sRe-
public" of Canada.
II was just eighty-one years today,
on January IA. 1888, that the first
Canadian republic" came to an end.
On that date president" William
Lyon Maskinzie and his army" eyac-
uated their capital on Navy Island,
in the Niagara river above the falls,
and the deposed chief of the republi-
can cause sought refuge in Albany,
N. Y. where an %unfeeling jury later
sentenced him to Imprisonment for
eighteen months.
In that stormy nariad af Canadian
history the rebels of Lower Canada or
Quebec were led by the fiery orator
and editor, Louis Joseph P~anineau. In
Upper Canada the leadership of the
revolution fell to William Lyon Mac
kenzie. the first mayor of York, now
Toronto, and an editor and writer OF
great ability. Honest and sincere. he
lacked the qualities of leadership. nc
aspiced TO become the washington OF
Canada" but failed miserably in al
his projects.
In 1881 Mackenzie published in the
paper. THE Constitution" a reform,
er's declaration of rights" based some
what upon the American Declaration
of independence. He then commene.
cd drilling small bodies OF volunteer,
and delivered addresses at popular
mass meetings all over Upper Can,
ada. When the storm broke In Lower
Canada Mackenzie called upon hi
army of a thousand men toma rel
on Toronto and seize the Lieutenant
Governor and the 1000 muskets KEEP
there. 1t was his purpose. upon tax
ing Toronto to proclaim the republic
with DIR. John Rolph. a popular poll
tician. as provisional president. A
thousand strong. some armed Will
guns, theirs with scythes. axes anC
pitchforks. the republican army ad
yanced on Toronto. Gen" Samue
Lount. a blacksmith. was chief ii
command. They were met by 500 mi
litia. who fired but a single voliey
when the rebels turned and fed. Mac
kenzie was the first TO consider dis
erection the better part of yalor. an,

IT'S NOT 'CUSSING'
TOSAY GO TOHEL

If a man damns you. or tells you
to go to hell he is not to be consid-
cred using cUss words, according to
Judge Harrison, OF Police Court.
Damn and hell are not cuss
words" said Judge Harrison today.
Yesterday Judge Harrison dismissed
a case "a disorerly conduct against
Ella Moore, who was arrested by
Park Policeman s. z. Whitlock, be-
cause the officer refused to repeat
vulgar language the woman is said
to have used.
In dismissing the case Judge Hardi-
son told Policeman Whitlock that he
ought to be discharged from the
force. To this partins shot Whitlock
simply smiled In leaving the witness
stand.
"Of course, policemen should repeat
the language as far as they can re-
call Of persons they arrest-even
though IL be vulgar" said Judge
Hardison.
