The Huron Conservative had • in mind to begin his address on the t• tion to go into supply. But thing tell out altogether as he did not ex� pect. There came a debate upon what the Hon. Dr. Barr characterized aurid t Ituous Tory applause as a "ques- tion of vital importance." Minister in the Pillory. incidentally, the Minister of Agri- culture was conspicuously and effec- tively pilloried for three long how's. but, that was no comfort to Edward Norman Lewis, whose inner feelings might have been outwardly indicated at one time by the scarlet of his four-in- hand, and at another by the sombre blackness of his long frock coat. The sitting opened with the Prime Minister absent -- indisposed. Hon. William Paterson was to lead the House. Across the fluor the Opposj- tion sat with brow serene and high. David Henderson, indeed, was to be seen of anybody eagerly perusing a huge placard whereon wasinted in large lettering "Prayers for Parlia- ment." He had a French copy as well as the English the was reading the English one). Anon he had finished the final supplication and had smug- gled the rubric into the desk of the absent Osler. Mr. Lewis Waits. Last year Edward Norman Lewis was numbered among the Tory bolt. ens when the Maims divided on the autonomy [ill. Theme had been a hitch as to hitt eligibility to nit for West Huron. A lend for a II con- tract or something of that sort was involved, and Mr Lewis haul been re- lieved of the supposed disability by a special Governmm• it hill. It is in the statutes of last year and .is entitled "An Act for the relief of Edward Nor- man Lewis." Today Mr. Lewis was forced to sit waiting three hours and over with steam up and. his views on the sub- ject of marine menaces still on his stomach. It may have been no more than as suggestive and significant co- incidence, but on the other hand -. The Huller did not get as far as the •apply motion. There wan first con- currence in two or three items of Px- ipenditure wanted for the present fis- cal year. One of the items was a vote of eighteen thousand dollars for a Canadian exhibit, at the Imperial In- stitute, in London, England. Upon these items, and more especially the Imperial institute one, the House went, into Committee of Ways and Means. It Happened Casually. It happened so simply. It was so fortuitous. The North Toronto mem- her asked for an explanation of the eighteen thousand 'vote. 'fhe Minis- ter of Agriculture didn't give it. and the dogs of war were loosed, Mr. Fisher said that the money wan for the carrying mit of a new scheme for Improving Canada's exhibit at the Institute. The Opposition was curi- ous. What was the scheme Y Where was it? Why had nothing been ever heard of it before ? The Minister endeavored to say that he had been getting votes through for the same pnrpoee for two or three cars, and had favored Y ter 1 th r House with explanations. The Opposition denied it with in- dignation and asperity. Haughton Lennox in measured tones challenged the Minister to turn up the explana- tions. Fifteen Opposition members took up the question. They rejected the wordy statements of Sidney Fisher. They kept the ball rolling. They were indignant and scornful by turns. And, all the while. Edward Norman Lewis was waiting to speak. The Opposition Talks. Mr. Fisher said that he had talked the matter over with Lord Strath. cons. Mr. Foster didn't care tnp- pence-ha'p'ny whether he had or not. The matter wag new for Parliament, Mr. Fisher said he had talked it over with Mr. Hutchinson. and there was a plan for the proposed improvements. At once the Opposition demanded the plan : they insisted upon its produc- tion. Mr. Fisher said he would bring it down t crow. The lion.

Mr. Petetsttm lassought the Oppositioto let the item through. And, all the while, Edward Ne man Lewis woos waiting to speak. And Waits Some More. Messrs. Paterson and Fisher be- tween them did tonnage to give some information. The exhibits at the Im- perial Institute had heretofore been maintained by the Provinces, but the Dominion Government was now to undertake the work, with the idea of making the exhihitat ore worthy of the country. Ithazel beien intended. before the decision to send an exhibit. to Milan, to take the Canadian exhibit from Liege to the Institute. Arrange- ments having bre') changed, Monny was wanted- for installing an exhibit,. Mr. Foster was still dissatisfied. While glad that. Sidney Fisher hail "come down front his high horse," lie wits not prepared to approve of spend- ing earth at the imperial Institute, the instituts being out of the way of traffic. Mr. Fisher explained that, with iso small an amount to he spent, the ex- hibit uoltld not Ie anywhere but In the Net Untie, whose organization and acronunodntion were freely at the dis- posal of the, Dominion. 'lie said, too, that the Intention wits to use is. menv of the old Provincial exhibits as were available. All this while Edward Norman Lewis wan waiting to speak.

Many go through life a glwal deal like the man with his face to the donkey's tail.
