Action and reaction'are said to feature business life. Equally true is that the steady push and the uni form pull are the distinctive marks ■of good business. Old Ontario will not come to it’s own till it realizes that there must be no dead business months of the year, it is simply suicidal for any person bent on success to allow all their trading, or the bulk of their trading to be done during special seasons, To be sure when the buy- Jag public is eager to purchase, the Wive business man must take occas- lon,by the hand. Yet he is the vital merchant who so arranges his af-. fairs that his enterprise is making progress. ' Buyers, too, are • alert to Welfare when they realize that money will bring the best returns tdii^-January and , February and in ^August. Why these obvious facts are'not appreciated by both seller and purchaser passes ordinary busi ness sense. During tl\e slack season the mer chant who knows his business has the opportunity to give special time and attention to the wants of his customers. The buyer has time and opportunity to use good selective sense ' in his purchases. Further, buyer and seller have the opportun ity of getting acquainted, a state of affairs that is advantageous to both parties. Old Ontario may as well wake up to the fact that she must be up and doing. Gone forever are the days when she can. afford to regard her self as the manufacturing and mer chandising centre of the Dominion. Quebec has awakened from her long sleep in both these respects. The Western Provinces are being thickly dotted with tall chimneys^and big places of ° business. The develop ment of electrical power has trans formed business conditions over night. Farmers, too, might as well face the facts. The Western Provinces are producing nearly s everything they require, mere. grain producers. the Old her the still are far from reaching the point where they have saturated the mar- Jfcet, the West is up and doing and ucceeding in both particulars.

GYRED (From the New Yorker) Last Saturday night two gentlemen were standing in line at the ’’Vani ties” box office when a pretty young woman came np and asked one of the men if he wanted two good sente She eaid she had two in the third row, but found she could not stay through the performance, because she had a sick child at home. She held up the stubs of two tickets. Suspecting some sort of razzle-dazzle the larger and wiser of the two men said he would buy the. seats at the box-office value if the doorman said the checks were all right. This the doorman did say and the gentlemen paid the lady fifteen dollars and for- ty-cents. for the ticket ends, When the two men went down the aisle, their worst fears were confirmed, for in one of the appointed places sat a soft, happy, fat man. Asked by the usher for his seat checks he explained that hiS' companion had them and had gone out to phone, but would be back soon, The news was then broken to him as gently, as possible that his fair companion would never come back and that she had resold the tickets he had purchased. Uttering loud protests against women and theatres, the un fortunate fellow finally gave seat, This means that you either hold on to your seat or your companions wrist. urned to Death Father-in-law of Rev- D.

And if you call for a song of the sea, We’ll heave the capstan round, With d yeo heave ho, for the wind is free, Her anchor’s a-trip and hei* helm’s a-lee, Hurrah for the homeward bound! Evett Gilbert’s cheap tailor, dis guised as a second trombone, could not fumble ’the beat and the swing in a song of the sea—simply be cause sea music comes as naturally to the mariner as lullabies to a mother, and because its spirit is so infectious. It comes naturally because the sea chanty lightens the sailor’s work and because from the very beginning of navigation it has fostered teamwork and good feeling among seamen, ■ But the sailor chanties passed away With the sailing ships. They wei’e the seamen’s working choruses whose utility declined when steam crowd ed the canvas-driven cr<ft k from the sea. There still remains a great aiid largely ungathered treasure of sea music which today is remembered only by grizzled sailors of clippei’ ship days. But as these old salts are bothered by failing memories, the tunes and the words they can stili remember ihust bo recorded soon if they are to be preserved for the future. This constitutes the real signifi cance of tho forthcoming Sea Music Festival in Vancouvfei’ at the Van couver Hotel from Jan. 23 to *26; and it is at once a meed and a compliment for this. great port facing the broad Pacific. During, these four days will be heard the finest music inspired by the sea from the time of the Vik ings down to the present day. The programs, arranged by Harold , Eustace Key, director of Canada’s . major music festivals, will recap ture the full flavor of the chanties which having passed their youth in sailing ships of the seven seas, now find a haven for their Old age in concert hall and schoolroom. Two groups of songs will be pre- ' senbed0 in stage settings—“The Ordei’ Of Good Cheer,” incorpor ating old French chanties of Acadia harmonized by Dr. Healey Willan of the Toronto Conservatory; and “On the Beep, Deep Sea,” intro ducing famous deep watei’ chanties arranged and staged by Capt. , Frederick William Wallace. ’ Distinguished singers, fine instru mentalists and well-trained choirs will appear at the nightly concerts in the Vancouver Hotel, The sing ers include John Goss, famous English baritone; Jeanne Dusseau, Canada’s great lyric soprano, late of the Chicago Opera; Finlay Campbell, Ottawa baritone, fa miliar with Hebridean sea-songs; Marion Copp, rising young con tralto of Vancouver; Poul Bai, Danish baritone with ■ a repertory Viking songs; and Ulysse Pa- qtlin, French-Canadian basso, with songs of the voyageurs of New France. Others are the Hart House Quartet, Canada’s most famous group of instrumentalists; the Vancouver Scottish Orchestra, the Philipino Orchestra of the linei Empress of Russia, the North Van couver Choral Society, and three interesting groups organized by Miss Ethel Bassin—a chorus of 250 Vancouver children, a chorus of 30 voices, and Hebridean Fisher Boys.

Other occupants es- caped, thinking that Mr. Follick was with them; when lijs absence was discovered it was too late to re enter. Mr. Follick was a former principal of the Port Perry High School, and had taught in St. Marys), St. Catherines and in Stratford, * Mr. Fol lick was very well known in St. Marys, having been a resident of that town for some seventeen years, being on the staff of the St. Marys Collegiate Institute, He born in Birr, a son of the late and Mrs. Joseph Follick. The ily moved from Birr when Mr. lick was quite young to Kingston, where the late Mr, Follick lived' un til he entered Victoria College, then at Cobourg. After graduating from there Mr. Follick received a position on the staff of the (St. Marys Colleg iate in the year 1885 as science mas ter. Word of (the tragic death of Mr. Follick was learned in St. Marys With deep regret. Not only did he take an active part in the school life of the collegiate, but he was a gift ed: musician, being organist of the St. Marys Methodist church, practi cally all the years he resided there. Mr. Follick left St. Marys for St, Catherines, where 'he taught for some years. He then moved to Port Perry, where his home had been for some' twelve years, prior to his fatal visit to Niagara Falls. While a resident of St. Marys, Mr. Follick married Miss Grant, daughter of W. Grant former well-known hardware’ merchant of the Stone Town. Mr. Follick is survived by his wife and one daughter. The daughter is Mrs. (Rev.) Linden Harvey, now living in Courtland, and formerly of Exeter. The deceased is a cousin of (Mr. E. A. and Miss Mabel F'ollick, of Exeter and visited here at the time of Mr. J. S. Harvey’s funeral.
