St. Toseph's Hospital authorities report that the aged man is recovering from the effects• of the assault. He is believed to be out of immediate danger. Charles Godbolt was placed under arrest• by the provincial police early Wednesday morning when he was described by Barry as the, man who.

Describing the attack made at night op him while he was in bed Barry recognized both 'men, but could not at first recall the name of the second man who was present.

LAURIER'S FIRST SPEECH IN ENGLISH By Fred Williams ie the lMail and Empire Do you know when and where 'Wil- frid Laurier made his first great speech in the English language? It was in the House of commons early in 1874, Riel, the leader of the Red River rebellion, had been elected for Praveneher, and had the nerve to come to Ottawa to claim his seat in parliament. He signed the roll. did not actually enter• the house, but in- stead fled to a refuge in Montreal. He was, however, likely to return at any time and it was necessary that the house of commons should not be subject to the tisk of having a murderer in its midst (for then, as now, a majority of people regarded Riel as the actual slayer of Thomas Scott, whom he had done to death undue the guise of martial Iaw), Consequently Mackenzie Bowell mac ed that, as a fugitive frmmt justice Louis Riel should be °keelled. An it was in the debate that Laurie first spoke in parliament in English He had already enthused his coin patriots from Quebec by his elo gnence in French, when he secondo the address in reply to ,the' speee from frothe throne; but French wa even less understood then by a ma polity of members than it is now and outside the members from Quo be and the press of that provine Laurier's delivery and the matter c his speech passed unnoticed, Whet the Riel debate came on, the youn man determined to speak in English He had 'earned his English in tit first place in the liottish settlemen of New Glasgow. seven miles fron Ft. Lin, his birthplace, whither h had been sent by his father whe 11 years old. There he lived in th brine of John Murray, a Presbyter ion front the Highlands and hot) +herr and in the store he gained hi first elements of English. His chief instructor was one Sand AllieL:ee, an itinerant poet-teache whn between long conferences wit Hechus in Montreal, would stray t the cnuntry for Test and recovery Like the travelling teacher who s influenced his great predecessot John A, &lacdonais, McLean taugh literature as well as the three R's and it was from him that Laurie learned the classic prose and poetr of our language. It is not, therefore to be wondered at that his first es say into a formal •speech in Englisl should have been narked by a tonel of the Doric, now and then, as wa the case well into his later year When one looked for it. That tam "touch of Scotch" was potent in late years when as leader of the Lihera parry he wooed the affections o Scots in the Hurons and Bruces anc the Middlesexes and of the Gaeli electors in Glengary and Nov Scot That initial •speech "made" Lane er in parliament, The majority realized that a great orator had conte among them. "John A," remarked 0 a colleague that there was a ,young man who would become a eader, and when in later years they aced each other on opposite sides 1 the house it was noted that Laurier had imitated Rfacdonald's nethocis in addressing the house. Ha ad made a close study of English authors and orators, deligthing par- ticularly in Shakespeare,. Burns, heridan and Fox Burke, Bright and ltfaeauley; indeed, as Totu Marquis as well said: "It' is doubtful if any man in the house hada more cotn- rehensive knowledge of .the history 1 Great Britain and Canada." On the twelfth anniversary of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's death Iet me cite is advice to the young people of apada, delivered at London a ttonth before his death: "Banish doubt and hate from your tfe. Let your souls he ever open to the promptings of faith and the irentle influences of brotherly love. e edaxnaiit against the haughty; be entle and kind to the weak. Let your aim and purpose, in good re. ort and ill, in victory or defeat, be o to live, so to strive, so to serve as o'de your part to raise even higher hestandard of ,life and of living," amtrier's last message 'was worthy If the man. t f 0 S h it 0 I 1' B g 13 0 How 'My World5 Wags By That Ancient Mariner DEAN 111, I•IURM`DY A. beauty specialist writes that women are hair, conscious but not scalp conscious.
