About thirty -Ave years ago a Mini/ man, notable physically for his un- common height --he stood Oft. ?in, is his stoeltings--wonted quietly, thor- oil hly, and conscientiously itt a shipping olllee at Newcastle -on -'.Pyne. lie rarely spoke of his hopes for the, !future; but he bad ono ambition which might, had he then mentioned It to other people, have aroused some leas hter, This was nothing less than to be - porno the biggest shipping man in the world. It was not egotism which gave rise to this ambition, but the I keen desire to "get on," and the knowledge that if he had a chance he ! would "get on." That clerk, now :fir Owen Pbllllps, lives to -day in the realization of his ambition. He is the Napoleon of the mercantile ship- ping world, and master of over 300 ships, with a total tonnage of nearly a million and a half, The manner in which of late years i Sir Owen—who, it is announced, will he. Unionist candidate for Chester at the next election—has engineered I shipping deals, acquiring not single vessels, but whole fleets, furnishes a tory of enterprise and remarkable s energy on the part of this son of the Principality—for Sir Owen comes of a very ancient Welsh family of Pem- brokeshire worthies. Undoubtedly the real secret of Sir What The Militia Act Says -All From' Owen's success lies in the fact that 18 to 60 Can Be Called Out There has been a good deal of discus- sion as to whether Canada would adopt conscription. The editor is not in a position to interpret the law, but from the reading of the act we believe every man from 18 to 60 years of age can be called out without any measure being p issed by parliament. All that is nec- essary is an order from the governor in council. The male population liable to serve in the Militia shall be divided into four classes:- , The first class shall compromise all those of the age of eighteen years and upwards, but under thirty years, who are unmarried or widowers without children; The second class shall comprise all those of thirty years and upwards, but under forty-five years who are unmar- ried or widowers without children; The third class shall comprise all those of the age of eighteen years and upwards, but under forty-five years, who are married or widowers with children; The fourth class shall comprise all those of the age of forty-five years and upwards, but under sixty years. The said several classes shall be called upon to serve in the order in which they are referred to in this sec- tion. 4 E. VII., c. 23, s.15. When men are required to organize or complete a corps at any time either for training or an emergency, and enough men do not volunteer to com- plete the quota required, the men liable to serve shall be drafted by ballot. If there are inscribed on the Militia roll more than one son belonging to the same family residing in the same house, only one of such sons shall be drawn, unless the number of names so inscribed is insufficient to complete the, required proportionof service men. 4 E. VII., c. 23, s. 27. Every man of the Active Militia of the first or second class shall be required to complete the period for which he volunteered or was balloted to serve, notwithstanding that during any such period of service he attains the limit age of thirty years, or forty-five years as the case may be, according to his class. 4 E. VII., c 23, s. 29 The Governor in Council may place the Militia, or any part thereof, on act- ive service anywhere in Canada. and also beyond Canada, for the defence thereof, at any time when it appears advisable to do so by reason of emergency. 4 E. VII., c. 23, s. 70. She Gained 36 Lb'. Mrs. George Bradshaw, Harlowe, Ont., writes: "I was troubled for many years with weak, watery blood and dropsy. I had nervous headaches, dizziness and sinking spells, and was, in fact, a semi -invalid. Doctors told me my heart and kidneys were diseased and gave me up. By using 10 boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I have been cured of many of my old complaints and,gained 36 pounds in weight. ENGLAND TO FRET; MEN Men of my blood, you English men! From misty hill and misty fen, From cot and town, and plow, and moor, Come in -before I shut the door! - Into my courtyard paved with stones That keep the names, that keep the bones, Of none but English men who came Free of their lives, to guard my fame. I am your native land who bred No driven heart, no driven head; 1 fly a flag in every sea Round the old Earth, of Liberty! I am the Land that boasts a crown; The sun comes up, the sun goes down - And never men may say of me. Mine is a breed that is not free. I have a wreath!

The door is yet ajar; From northern star to southern star, 0 ye who count and ye who delve, Come in -before my clock strikes twelve! -John Galsworthy. , he is a very far-seeing man. He was one of the first to realize the trem- endous revolution that the opening of the Panama Canal would bring about in the mercantile shipping of the world. Not only is trade with the Far East to be counted on by the cut- ting in two of the American contin- ent, offering immense profits to the steamship lines first in the field, but the ,great coast -line on the Pacific side of South America becomes more easily available. Sir Owen, fully realizing this, secured control of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, thus holding the shipping trade ot South America in the hollow of his hand, and ultimately acquired the Dempster Line boats on the West In- dian trade, which made certain that there would be no serious opposition from that quarter. But the control of the trade of one continent by no means satisfied the ambitious of this shipping king, fox soon after he took the Royal Mail Company under his care. He obtain- ed what amounted to a controlling interest in the share line running to China and Japan. Then came the purchase of another line of ships, wnicn dealt with the Mediterranean and North African trade. Perhaps the most sensational pur- chase Sir Owen has ever made was tee acqu'••'tic•', on behalf of the great shipping combine, of the goodwill, fleet, and business of the Union Cas- tle Mall Steamship Company, which meant the payment of a cheque for no less a sum than £5,173,572 to Messrs. Donald Currie and Co. Sir Owen's comparatively brief career—for he is or.ly just over fifty —is a romance of the time, for he owes nothing to inherited wealth or great influence. Herr Bailin, the shipping Colossus of Germany, was at one time disposed to be contempt- uous of the opposition of the Welsh- man. Ile even went so far as to for- bid him to poach on his preseryes in the West Indies. According to one intimately acquainted with Sir Owen, he has never forgiven or forgotten this piece of insolence, and he was not satisfied until he had. beaten Bal - lin and controlled 200,000 tons more shipping than his German rival, It's a good thing our buried hopes don't need tombstones or the supply would run mighty short.

Oh no, not by any means; we have many ser- ious charges against the liquor traffic of which I shall mention only one. The taxes actually collected in the nine wettest states in 1914 were 60% higher than in the eight prohibition states. Why should I be taxed to care for the paupers, orphans and criminals that they make? The license fees do not pay a quarter of the expenses they cause. 8th. They say that domestic un- happiness frequently causes drunken- ness, instead of drunkenness causing damestic unhappiness. Isn't that gall? If that be true how is it that in Canada the Provinces that have most local prohibition have the least crime and the Provinces that have least Local prohibition have nearly forty times as much crime as Prince Edward Island, which is entirely under prohibition? 9th. They are getting very anxious about the condition of the Church, and fear that it is going to the bad, but it is worthy of note that the cause of their anxiety is the growing tendency of the Church to advocate prohibition. 10th.

A New Jersey militiaman in replying to a Boston man's suggestion that'mil- itia is to be prefered to "national guard" at a designation for a state's soldiers, recalls that the Infantry Journal in May, 1911, said: "Out militia has run away or mutinied in no less than 30 battles or marches between 1,176 and 1.861"; also that Washington constantly referred to the militia as a broken reed and not to be depended upon.

" A man who stammers can never be a great preacher, and neither can he get along in many other professions. Such an impediment is a bar to an army car- eer. The physician needs a good speak- ing voice. So does the lawyer. Many a lawyer has won his case by his voice, rather than by what he had to say, and many a sermon has been preached from a poor text in a voice that carried com- fort and conviction with its rather triv- ial words. Everybody with the training of young children to look after should see to it that they are taught to articulate clear- ly. For without clear articulation they will have a hard time getting on in the world. And almost any impediment to clear speech can nowadays be removed by careful training and treatment. He Proved It.
