This amendment . I t ' is was losti. Sir John Thompson moved that there be inserted in his Bill to further amend the Dominion Controverted Elections Act a clause providing that in case the petitioner ,against the return of a candidate should be found not to be qualified the petition should not be dismissed on that account, but Within the time allowed by the court an- pe i toner s ou e a owe o e e other Vt. h Id b 11 dt fa the petition. . • Mr. Barron pointed out the danger of adopting, such a clause as this as it would •d b ' ' ''. e an encouragement to worthless people to e- c i muspe i lona . . . - . . . ,disagreement file fi VC . ft' Sir John Thom 8011 withdrew the pro - d Pventurer pose . amendment. . After Recess. The House went into Committee of Supply. , , Mr. McMullen, on the item of 5.000 forellow the post office at Picton, said that there was a protest against the member for Prince Edward county, and this grant wasproposed in order to facilitate his re-eMction. Mr. McNeill called attention to the nth- cess which is being achieved in the realm of poetry by William Wilfred Campbell, an ' ' ' employee of the Railway Department, who is serving the county. for $1.50 per day. He received very flattering criticisms froni the highest sourceS both in Europe and America of the peem "Mother." It was enly right and fitting that work such as this should be recognized. He believed that Canada's young' poet would rank higher than Longfellow it he were placed in a pOsi- • tion that would give him. an opportunitythirsted for development. He hoped the Govern -man. !neat would see its way clear to giving him a position in the library, in charge of Bellescashierdi . Lettres, which would enable Mr. Campbell to follow his inclinatiin and bring . furtherh Credit upon his native country. . • ' • Mr. Laurier said he would.gladly endorse the statement to the 'favorable consideration of the Government While he did not pre- • ' • • ' t .tend to be a judge of poetry, in his estima, e Mr. Campbell was one of the real living poets to -day of the English language. The poem called " Mother " was certainly something that had not been equalled since,endowment the days of Edgar Poe. Mr. Campbell was , • a.young man,, and if the Government gave 'him a position in the Library hewould have opportunity to cultivate his talent, and it would be money well a,pplie.d., Both sides of the Heine would heartily approveof such action. . On the item of $600 to, pay claims eon- nected with the Northwest rebellion, Mr. Laurier asked if anything had been done towards a settlement with Bremner. Mr. DewdneY said Bremner's claim was now before the Department of Justice, and nothing had been done regarding it. • , Mr. Watson coniplained bitterly respect- , in this treatment f Bremner,B emnwho was g , iso i er, w'peered literally in poverty. It was certainly a great hardship for him to endure. Mr. Laurier stated that his information alsoBremnerwas in es 1 u ion. wasthat B ' d t't t* Mr. Dewdney—His claim has swelled up greatly since last session.en1011een.11 Mr. Laurier—That may be so but the * Government ought to give him what was • right.

Tract, where they set about the work of hewing out a home in the forest. It was hard work for the new- comers, unaccustomed as they were to the difficulties with which the pioneers in Canada had to contend; but they had rugged health, hope was strong, d anthe desire to see the "bairns" well settled in life gave them courage for the struggle. • Holden gray, and homely fare made tooth- some by the appetite acquired in long hours of toll, was the rule of their lives. The boys were, as the mother used to say; ." a' that heart could wish"; their parents' Pride and hope. There was much of unromantic hard. work and very 'little of variety in their 'life ; but they never murmured. or complained. As.the Years passed other boys were. added to the family roll, but loved as were the later . comers they were not the boys who boiled the sap and brought the.cows, who chopped - . the fallow and sat up with mother .when she was sick and helped her With her house- work as if they, were young•wornen—who were more like big loving brothers than children in their care of her. The mother's heart was large enough for all, but the first places were taken.
