Premier Borden and Minister of
Finance White had challenged the Op-
position to make good some ot its
accusations of extravagancs. Last
Saturday night, Edmond Proulx point -
out some cases with directness and
careful attention to detail. He asked
why did it cost over $900 to refurnish
the office of the Minister of Justice?
Why did it cost over $800 to refurnish
the office of the Secretary of State?
Why are the big bills presented from
nearly all the Ministers for furniture
and fixings? Were not the furnishings
that were good enough for their pre-
decessors good enough for them? What
has been done with the old furniture;
was it thrown out or given away to
some favorite?
Then Mr. Proulx went into detail.
Just $385 had been paid for a rug for
the Minister of Justice's office. "I'd
like to see that rug," commented Mr.
Proulx. "It must make one think he
is in Windsor Palace. Three new
chairs had cost $78.50, a davenport had
cost $60, a desk $135 and a wastepaper
basket had cost $9. Then there were
two "diners," a number of clocks
bookcases and couches, all at figures
Mr. Proulx characterized as "reckless*
ly extravagant."
"Perhaps a middleman bought them,"
suggested F. F. Pardee, amid Liberal
laughter.
"That's it,i" declared Mr. Proulx.
WHY HE WAS AFRAID.
A banker was in the habit of wearing
his hat a good deal during business
hours, as in summer the flies used his
bald pate for a parade ground, and in
winter the cold breezes swept over its
polished surface.
A negro workman on the railroad
each week presented a check and drew
his wages; and one day as he put his
money in a greasy wallet, the banker
said: "Look here, Mose, why don't you
let some of that money stay in the bank
and keep an account with us?"
The negro leaned toward him, and,
with a quizzical look at the derby the
banker wore, answered confidentially:
"Boss, I's afeared.. You look like
you was always do ready to start tome -
whores."

BOOZE POWER SEALS ITS OWN
DOOM.
Certainly it is ',not the increased dan-
ger of alcoholism that is driving now
one state •'and now another, now one
vi:lage and now another county to pro-
hibition. It is not the degeneration of
the quality of our intoxicants; it is not
their multiplied abuse; it is not the
spread of the drink appetite. These
are not the new reasons for prohibition
espansion. Far from it.
The beers are milder and more pure.
The whiskies are many times superior
to the old fusel -oil forty -rod of com-
merce in the sixties.
Temperance has developed under in-
dustrial and economic influences in a
wonderful fashion. Drunkenness has
become quite uncommon. The alcohol
menace has been enormously diminish-
ed.
Then, why in heaven's name are the
states and provinces falling over each
other in their haste to adopt prohibition?
We can tell you. They seek to pro-
hibit, not so much alcohol as the menace
of booze power. •
Whenever the liquor interests have
seized political power they have abused
that power and have sealed their own
doom.
Those who still set store_ by their
personal liberties may insure the con-
tinuance of that liberty by casting the
booze power out of polities. -Detroit
Journal.
THE MOTHER'S SONG.
Hush, oh my baby, your father's a
soldier,
He's off to the war, and we've noth-
ing to eat,
And the glory is neither for you nor
for me,
With the cockleburr crushing the
'wheat.
Little boy baby, look .well on your
mother,
Some day you may ask she bore you
at all;
For the trenches are foul with the
blood and the wallow,
And the bayonet is sharp for your
fall.
Rest, rosy limbs, and blue eyes, and
gold lashes -
Made in the mold of the Savior, they
say!
Drink deep of my bosom, my starved,
meagre bospm,
That - keeps you alive for the
fray.
Sleep, oh my man i'hild, and smile
in your sleeping,
But the gun has been fashioned to
lay in your hand,
And your life blood flows smooth in
your fair, little body
The better to water and plenish the
land!
As The Result
Of a Neglected Cold
He Contracted
SEVERE BRONCHIAL TROUBLE.,
Mr. W. T. Allen, Halifax, N.S., writes:
"I feel that I would be doing you and
your great remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup. a gross injustice if I did not
write and let you know the wonderful
results that I have obtained from its
use.
"Last spring I happened to contract a
cold. Of course, this is a common oc-
curence, and I did not take any particu-
lar notice of it at the time. However, it
did not break up as quickly as colds
generally did with me, so after two weeks,
and no sign of improvement, I began
to get alarmed, and went to my local
physician who informed rue that I had
contracted severe bronchial trouble as a
result of neglecting my cold. Ile pre-
scribed some medicine for me, which I
took for about two weeks without any
sign of improvement. I was getting
pretty much discouraged by then, but
one day a friend happened to be in to
whom I was relating my trouble, and he
advised Me to try Dr. Wood's Norway
?hie Syrup, saying that he had obtained
very beneficial results from its use in
a similar case. I took his advice and
procured several bottles from my drug-
gist. After taking it, according to (Ikea
tions, for about two days, I noticed a
decided improvement, and from that
day on I began to get better, and in ten
days I was in my usual health. I con.
sider this an excellent showing for your
remedy, and can highly recommend it to
anyone afflicted as I vvas. I shall always
put in a good word for It whenever the
opportunity Offers ittelf,”
You can procure Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup front any druggist or dealer.

BUILDING OF PETROGRAD.
Peter the Groat's Ruthless Methods In
Eroatina tho Capital,
Most disadvantageously situlited of
all the capitals of Europe -indeed, of
the world -Petrograd is a monument
of the pride and energy of Peter the.
Great Be wanted a European capi-
tal in Piller, to signalize and immor-
talize his conquests. In 1703, when
the tirst feuttdettoPs of the city were
laid Oa the marshy Island on the delta
of the Neva, at the eastern end of the
gulf of Finland, the surrounding ter.
ritory had even then not been entirely
comluered.
Peter went to work with his usual
energy and with his usual ruthless-
ness to create a capital in what was
worse than a desert. Be himself au-
perintended the building of the city
and gave the directions of the details
to halt a dozen lieutenants. Thg work
was pushed with ultuost Incredible
rapidity, so. that by 1712 sufficient ad-
vance had been made to permit the
transfer of the imperial family from
Moscow.
One measure ordered by Peter was
that thousands of peasants must set-
tle in or near the new capital. A spe-
cial tax was put on his empire to
meet the expenses of building the city.
Such a small difficulty us the scarcity
of masons was nothing to a man like
Peter the Great. He simply forbade
the erection of stone buildings any-
where else in the empire until Petro-
grad was tinished.-New York Times.
MILITARY COWARDICE.
A Sample of Its Punishment During the
Thirty Years' War.
Punishment. for cowardice in the
German army at the time of the Thir-
ty Years'. war was so severe as to be
ferocious. In the year 1642 the Swed-
ish tIonerat Torsi oussen stormed Leip-
zig. a turce under the command of
the Grand Duke Leopold gave him bat-
tle before the gates of the city, but
during the engagement the Mediu-
nische regiment been me suddenly pan-
ic stricken and tied.
Punishment immediately followed.
When the regiment bad again assem-
bled six other regiments surrounded
it and tried it by court martial in the
open field. 'rhe verdict was that the
colonel and the captains should die by
the sword and that every tenth man
among the noncommissioned officers
And men should be hanged.
The stern verdict was carried out to
the letter, except that at the request
of Leopold the men were shot instead
of hanged. Colonel George Madlo-
nisehe was beheaded after he had
sought In vain for a pardon. The sur-
vivors were consigned to quarters with
other commands. and the regiment nev-
er regained its name or former pres-
tige. In those days there was no alter-
-native but to be brave. Cowardice
meant either death or everlasting die -
grace. -Youth's Companion.
Poetic Justice.
A couple in a certain village, each
the parent of six ehildren, bad meted
out to them a kind of poetic justice
in which they failed to see the poetry.
The woman, a widow, pleading that
she bad no home and was therefore
unable to care for her children, induc-
ed the local authorities to admit them
to an orphan asylum. The man, a
widower, pleading he bad no house-
keeper and therefore no one to care
for his children, induced the authori-
ties to admit his six also. Thereupon,
being freed from all incumbrances.
these two married. -
All went well for a few months,
when the authorities, leatining of the
situation, promptly dispatched • the
twelve children back to their parents,'
and, the woman no longer able to rep-
resent herself as homeless or the man
as without a housekeeper, they were
forced to receive them.
One of Hook's Puns.
,Theodore Hook, the inveterate pun-
ster, could pun with gayety upon mat-
ters that touched his own pocket. He
enlivened the usually prosaic and un-
welcome duty of paying his taxes by
a word of advice to his neighbors to
do likewise -which it is to be hoped
the worthy Mr. Winter, the collector,
'found of some assistance:
Here comes Mr. Winter, inspector of
taxes.
I advise you to pay him whatever he axes.
I advise you to pay him without any flum-
ory,
For though his name's Winter, his ac-
tions are summary!
The Farce,

Puree is a modern termfounded on10•
the Latin verb facire, to stuff. This
was originally an allusion to the prac-
tice of the ancient buffoOns padding
out their stage dress to abnormal di-
mensions. Later the padding was dis-
•pensed with, but the wide garments
were retained,
