THE CUCKOOS.
(Gadsby in Saturday Night)
If our dear old friend Aristophanes
weere alive, he would write another
comedy on the political situation, ar_d
instead of calling it "The Birds," he
would call it •"The Conspiracy of the
Cuckoos Against the Old Cock," said
Old 'Cock being Laurier, and the Cue- 0--

it attains sufficient strength it expels

the Hon. Hugh uthrie has just about
that much weigh in the party he used
to adorn.
For the last six months or so there
was never a day went by that the- Ote
tawa correspondent di not telegraph
to his paper that there *as "a hen on."
What he really meant to say Was that
the, Old Cock was still on the neat, and
that threats, tears, entreaties, cabals
cajoleinents fagea to remove him. In
fact. the Old Cock seemed to grow into
the nest, and become more a part of it
the more the Cuckoos tried to loosen
him off The Old Cock had decided to
perform a miracle -things against na-
ture must occur in. parables such. as
I write -he Would lay an egg, and no-
body would budge him until the egg
was safely laid. It might be a fried
egg or a poached egg, or a serainbied
egg, or just a plain egg. But the egg.
would be laid, and if the general elec-
tion showed that it was a bad one, be
would get off the nest and let some-
body else take his place. '
"And that's flat!" crowed the Old
Cock, sotto voce, but -none the lees a
clear, ringing note, as the .Torento
Globe often- remarks. This, then is
the lien, that is on, and that will stay
on, until next January or
February, when all will be forgiven by
-the Cuckoo Liherals, if the egg is, a
good one. Thus,ewith some pardon-
able shifting' df4fghnderet Werairive-
at this conclusion -that the Old Cock
is on the nest, and that all the Cuckoos
in the world can't shake him off until
Leafier finishes his work, which is to
lay an -egg.
The Cuckoos who would shove the
Old Cock off the nest may be broadly
divided . into Conservatie es and Lib-
erals. The Conservative Cuckoos *ere
first on the job. Having laid a freck-
led little egg called Conscription, Pre-
mier Borden, looking -more like a wise
old owl than a yerow-billed Cuckoo -
although some critics did speak of the
11-1 ihtary Service Act as a yellow bill
--apreared at the edge f the Old
Cock's nest with a proposition to share
it fifty. Pfty.
"See the pretty egg!" said Premier
Borden, "You will keep me to hatch it
out? 1 Ise? gise you the under
half ef the nest and let you do all the
work of warming it into
-Net me," replied ti.e Old Cock.
"What roots it if I hatch out your egg
and *lose Quebec? Birde of a feather
gather no moss. Chase yourself ?"
Win meupon Premier Borden, having
failed with the mein squeeze, took the
Cuekoo egg around to his assistant
Cockerels and asked them to come
with him and help to cherish it.
• "A good egg!" said Fred Pardee,
"but it loses heat the more you hapd
it round".
,i -Not bad," said George Graham,
"but rot good enough to cause me to
leave home and the Old Cock."
"Not as fresh as it looks," said
Frank Carvell. "What do you intend
to do with it -throw it at Quebec?
Can you promise me that you won't
lay; a worse. one -ha War Time Elec-
tion Act for instance?"
But Premier .Borden couldn't prom-
ise, so Carvell struck and was glad af-
terwards that he did.
"I'd -like to buy that egg if 1 had
the- money," said Hugh Guthrie, as
soon as he saw it.
"Come over into our nest," said
Premier Borden. "and we'll fix that up
all right," And Hugh, tall and big
as he is, went over bodily. It's a
long bird that has no turning.
"Your gifts of speech," said Pre-
mier Borden to Dr. Michael Clarke,
"would be very valuable in our Con-
fusion Government. Would you care

should take the plunge, Leader Rowell
might dip in too.The attitude of the
old-line Liberals toward, Leader ROW -
ell -who as a matter of fact couldn't
lead them. as far as a prayer Meetill
is that they're sorry he's in such a
hurry, but here's his hat. It is, this
perfunctory regret which gives Lead-
er Rowell rerdon to believe that he
may not havef as much future with
the Liberal party as he thought he
had. In such circumstances it is
natural for hint to seek a Rock of
Ages in union government or some-
thing like that.
Leader Rowel does not think of
himself as a Cuckoo, but rather as a
dove sent out from the ark. The ark
is sotaewhere in the office of the To-
ronton "Globe,' or the Toronto "Star",
and what the dove was doing out West
recently was to egg on win -the -war
Liberals -to fight La,urier Liberals at
the next general election, and put the
Old Cock out of business. From this
sweet mi.spion, Leader Rowell return-
ed theother day to find his two arks
very much agitated. Mr. Joseph E.
Atkinson, who is the Noah -in -chief of
the combination, was using his. "Daily
Star" to trumpet a stoey that the -131d
-Man was about to resign. The "Globe"
was -playing second bass as usual. In
short the Cuckoos were at it again.
How. did the Old Cock meet this
last assault of the Cuckoos? Well, he
came- to Toronto and conferred -with
his friends. In three days' conferr-
ing he found that he had a great
many more friends in Ontario- than
he expected - a great many more
thereby subtracting perhaps, ten seats
from his solid Quebec, but adding that
many or more to his following in the
other parts of Canada. It is only fair
to the Old Cock td say that he never
came out flat-footfd against conscrip-
tion. His first poeition was -no' con-
scription without a reference to the
people. His second position was-

At the round table conference which
followed most of the time was devoted
to the discussion of Teachers' Train-
ing and Decision Day. It was thought.
advisable by Mr. Wittgkthat teachers
of adult classes should give this course
to their scholars in order that the
older pupils sbould be qualified to
take a class when necessary. Mr. Wing --
was of the opinion that during the
tune that this was being done none
of them. should have their course in-
terrupted by being asked to take a
vacant class. In some places the teach-
ers' training class was held after the
prayer meeting or evening service.
Those who attend it should study it
with a view to writing on an examina-
tion at the close. Dwision Day was
dealt on at some length. It was
thought that plans and preparatione
should be made for it at mast twe
months in advance hy the pastor and
teachers. The co-operation. of the par-
ents should also be sought. The elail-
dren who decided to unite with the
church should receive a great deal of
attention after Decision- Day as well
as before. They should'receive special
iristruetion in the class from the pas-
tor for several weeks after.

Conference a banquet was provided in
the basement,to which au apppar* ed to

ening it was to a minister to ond
staturch, capable workers in the chur-
ches there who had been traired iu
our Eastern Sunday Schools. These
young people were the stimulus and
support of the ehurch.es in the West.
In Mr. Wing's after-dinner speech he
ma,de a special and fervent appeal for
the 500,000 boys in or Dominion un-
der 18 years of age and a still larger
number of girls. Many of these he
said Would lose their lathers and
