R. representative, M. John Ransford. That this little matter was handled in graceful style by our worthy towns- man goes without saying'., IIe shines in a role of that kind. Incidentally, he killed two hinds with one stone, as it were, by settling a score with his "hated rival/' the C. P,R. representative, Mr. W Jackson. The latter, it appears, had been ask- ing hint, probably With too much per,. sistency and too little consideration for Iris feelings, why it was that the •Prince of Wales, when on a visit to Canada chose ii' C.P.R. boat to conte across'tbe Atlantic on, a 'O.P.R. train to carry him to his ranch in Alberta,. C.P.R, train to carry }nim .back to the seaport again and a:C.P,E1. boat to go home on. "The reason is quite obvious," said Mr. Ransford, "I could have told Mr. Jackson long ago but. waited to tell .him before :this Dom-, pany. The reason was that whemi' the Prince of W?ales .made this GTsit he "divested himself of his . royalty, calve a$ a plain man, willing to 'rough it,' and naturally chose the means of conveyance best suited fey that pur- pose. Of course, 'there }vas nothing .further to be said. ' . AMONG THE`CHURCHES, - Rev. S. E.
