The countryman walked to the rage of the stage. head up the little porker and showed the critics their awful blunder. A young broker in Syracuse., N.Y , wrote a bc,k of Yankee humor. He sent the manuscript to a New York publisher. who primptly returned it. A second and a third attempt ended similarly, and then the broker sicken• ed with consumption. A friend took the story to nine more book -houses, but not one desired to purchase It ever so cheaply. But the thirteenth firm saw Its merit. bought it and sent a cheque to Edward Noyes Westoott's address the week after his funeral. But the book.

Well, a Buffalo than worked over that problem for years, and finally contrived • plan which he had patented. 'He showed it to some railroad magnates, but they thought it wouldn't do at all. As a last re• sort, he took it to Cornelius Vander- bilt. He liked It and tried it on some cars.

The experiment of having the luncheon at 6.15 o'clock, instead of at I o'clock, appear* to i.e successful, the evening hour being more convenient for many of the members. The speaker on this occasion was Pro, fewsor Edward Kylie, of the Univereity '1 Toronto, whose .uh'ect waw "The lesces of the War.' Professor Kylie compared Germany to the bully of a school, who used his scboolmates roughly until they rebelled and gave him his knocks. Germany bad acted the part of bully in Europe, and would not he brought hark to • proper frame of mind until she had been adequately punished. in spite of the fact that many international conventions had been *battered during the course of the present war, the speaker thought that, after all, one of the results of the war might be that international treaties would have greeter sanctity, as this waw one of the great i'nues for which the Allies, were flghting. Another result should he the greater development of the "iuternationai mind.' There had been, especially nn thin continent. a growth of nation- alism 'which tended to a narrow vn w of national responsibilities. The speaker did not blame the United lbtates for it• attitude of neutrality. hut he 1 bought that both in the United States and in Canada there was room for more of the sense .af world r•ewpnn- sibility, with less .•f the spirit that the nation iseoncerned only with events occurring within its own borders.
