BRUSSELS, °WAWA) , - THURSDAY, AUGUST 18th, 046 'GENTLEMOS,Q,LUS. NEWS, ITEMS.• During the past tour woolcs, there has been four main topics for conversation in our village, The Clerkship appointment ball games and no milk delivery and the disappearance of Art Henry, have a letter here from Mr. X who says the Clerkship (must) in Brussels be let by tender and would 1 write a column about it and tell the people how they are being imposed upon. Well here's the letter. I'm not a member of the bar. years ago I was fairly well acquainted at both the Queen's and the American bars, but that was years ago. However Mr. X even if our councillors don't know anymore than Char- lie McCarthy, I credit them with brains enough to know if tender . is required. Now, let me "start my letter. Welcome back to Brussels. Belli King and family. You are good citizens and I am pleased to see you. It would be real nice to have you as a neighbour as well, Mr. X suggests your politics are now of the best, Mr. King, and I agree, but good heavens, what's that got to do with it. I can't dislike a person because their politics and, policies are differ- ent to mine. They have as much right to their views as I have to mine. Right now I am not inter- ested in Canadian: politics Since that new song "Off to Dublin in the Green', has come out I have joined the Irish Re- public Association and will go to Ireland next election. Mr, X says Clerk's salary is too high. Well, when I am barg- aining for a Fair or celebration I get all I can get. Of course, King and I are different. No matter how much money I am getting I. know I am worth twice as much and poor Bill may have a conscieince that don't agree. However, Mr. X, when you consider tne fact that our councillors are getting '200 doll- ars a year and. Revee a bit more, I would suggest our Clerk is un, derpaid at less than six thousand. You suggest council should be paid according to what they are worth, This would be terrible. They would all be starved to death in two weeks and we would have to keep their wives, their children. Now, there are a couple of rules regards ball I wish to be informed about. The. batter hits a high one that goes straight up and is going to fall in, centre diamond, Three runner all run toward it. When eat of arms reach they all stop and the ball drops among them. What is this play called? I don't mean by the guy that's had and swears, but by its official name. Then comes a grounder. It's straight for short stop. He puts his feet apart, his hands down., but away it goes be- tween his legs for parts unknown. He takes after it and with help of left fielder they get it back.. Would it not have been easier to have stopped the darn thing in .he first place? I have a beef about all ball games and 1 mean it. Why don't you take up year collection earlier iu the game. You wait until some of we older fellows are near frozen and want to leave. Boy, what I could I teach you about taking up collect- ions. Come up and see me some- time. I'll increase your take 25 per cent. 1. mean this. Next week I'll tell you how to get your milk delivered. What should be done about it, etc. etc and the Etc is pure poison. Bye for now.
